that the Speaker and his adj
visers did not lose sight of this fact,
but made all the plans expressed in
this bill with a purpose to keep
the Capitol the center of interest.
The House may make this allow
ance at this session. If it does, the
Senate may be relied upon to follow
suit. And if that shall come to pass
an improvement will have been
made possible for Washington
which viii give satisfaction TO the

2 Splendid Project.

Along somewhat different lines
from those followed by certain Sen
ators, but with as keen a desire to
see Washington made more beauti-
full, the Speaker has been giving
particular attention to the improve
ment of the blocks between the
Union Station Plaza and the Capt.
toI II IS as a result of this study on
Mr.. Cann0n's part that a bill has
been favorably reported to the
House for the purchase OF the
ground indicated and the erection
thereon of a memorial to Lincoln.
The sum carried by the bin is
100000.
1t viii be observed that the loca-
hon of the Lincoln memorial is a
divergence from the plans Of the
Parking Commission. But that fact
need occasion no opposition to this
bill. The ground at the west end of
The Mall which the commission had
set aside for Lincoln memorial may
easily be put to another and equally
acceptable use; and the purchase OF
the ground between the station and
the Capitol is too important an i'm
provement to be delayed avoidably
There is good reason, in fact, to be.
Heve that at least one member OF
.he Parking Commission agrees
with the Speaker that the hill site
IS better than the shore site.

Some Advice for Girls.

Everybody remembers the Roose-
welt advice to the boys of America,
how he said:
"Of course, what we have a right
TO expect from the American boy is
that he will turn out to be a good
American man. Now the chances
are that he won't be much of a
man unless he is a good deal of a
boy. H must not be a coward or
a weakling, or a bully, a shirk, or a
prig. He must work hard and play
hard. He must be clean-minded
and clean-lived, and able to hold
his own under all circumstances,
and against all corners. 1t is only
on these conditions that he win
grow into the kind of a man Of
whom America can really be proud.
In life as in a football game, the
principle to follow is: Hit the line
hard; don't foul and don't shirlz. but
hit the line hard"
a teacher in one Of our graded
schools assigned this counsel to be
committed TO memory by the boys
under her charge. On the day they
recited it, she found that one of
the boys had been quietly circu-
lating some counterpart advice to
girls among the young misses Of
the same grade. Here it is:
"Of course, what we have a right
to expect from every American girl
is that she viii turn out to be a
good American woman, Now the
chances are that she will not be
much Of a woman unless she is a
good deal of a girl. She must not be
a gossip, a scarecrow, d sissy, or
smarty. She must be a good cook,
and be able to hold her own in all
domestic brOils. 1t is only on these
conditions that she Will turn out
to be the kind of woman America
can really be proud Of. In life, as
In a sewing match, the principle to
follow is: Sew the stitches hard;
don't gossip and don't sigh, but sew
the stitches hard"
There is more than mimicry in
this adaptation. There are some
mighty good phrases: ''She must
not be a gossip, a scarecrow, a
sissy, or a smarty' there is a
suficiency of sound sense. The
whole thing fits. The people of
Washington do not know the boy
who wrote it. but they do know
Theodore Roosevelt, and they viii
not be surprised, when he comes to
read this later chapter Of advice, to
hear a laugh that viii sound all the
way across Lafayette square.

At Chicago.

It may be accepted as pretty well
settled that the fight will be carried
to the finish at Chicago. It is plain
enough that the opposition to Sec
rotary Taft's nomination is going to
stay in the field and make the most
of its strength and its cpportuni-
ties.
The selection of Senator Burrows
as temporary chairman, and the
rousing reception given to Senator
Scott by certain Senatorial col
leagues when he returned from Chi
cago after handling the subcommit-
tee and getting Mr.. Burrows chosen,
must be recognized as indicative of
the willingness of the opposition to
go to considerable lengths in order
to defeat the Administration pro-
gram. If the national committee
should prove TO be as readily re-
sponsive to anti-AdminiEtration
pressure as the subcommittee was,
the 200 contested seats might pres
emily be occupied by delegates in
spiTed by the frank purpose of
finding anything 10 beat Taft"
The opposition is working hard to
pry delegates away from the War
Secretary. Literature and personal
urgency are being employed. 1t is
TO be admitted that in proportion
to the effort, the net result in ac-
tual OBJECTIONS thus far is small.
While the allies have made a show
ing, the magnetism of The band
wagon has lost the fayorite sons
more instructed votes than they
have been able to draw away from
Taft
But, all in all. it has been made
very plain that the allied opposi-
ton is going to take its case to the
convention. Report has been more
or less diligently circulated that La
Toilette might decline 10 act with
the other anti-Tafters; but the an
swer comes in the announcement
that headquarters are being opened
for him in Chicago.
Against the drawing power of
such strong lead as Taft can claim,
is to be set off the fact that most
of the Taft delegates are really
Roosevelt delegates. The privately
conveyed result of careful canvass
among the delegates from three mid
Western States which have instruct
ed for Taft, shows that there was
not a single delegate in the fifty in
volved who was sincerely a first
choice Taft man from personal
preference. Some were for Taft be-
cause they regarded him as the only
means of getting Roosevelt, and
some because they considered him
the only means of getting rid of
Roosevelt; still others simply be-
cause they are politicians, willing
to be for any proposition the pub
lie seems to be favoring at the mo-
menS.
The national committee viii meet
June in Chicago to take up the
contests. The developments of the
very opening cases win be of the
greatest significance because they
may be expected to give a line on
the general attitude of the com
mittee.
