The question Of who will be
pilot of the republican party in
the next campaign is constantly
being discussed in the capital,
and every indication is that
Charles D. Hilles is the general
choice of leaders of the party,
and will be selected providing
President Taft is willing to part
with his assistance as private

full in view of the fact he has
become almost invaluable in the

PEOPLE WHO FORGET HOW TO FLY.
An Editorial for Boys and Girls.

You remember the story In yester-

the session of the juvenile court, Mrs.
Buelah Lewis filed complaint
against her sister-in-law, Mrs. Pliny
Finch, in which she charged her with
being cruel to Fred and Sophronia
Finch, her stepchildren. Mrs. Lewis,

Allegations were made that Sopho-

work in the fields and assist in bal

overalls at the time; that she was
compelled to attend to the irrigating
Of the ranch and to drive at night

Mrs. Pliny Finch denied all the
charges and had numerous witnesses
who declared that the children were

No Diploma For Princeton Students
Unless They Can Swim.
To obtain a degree from Princeton
university hereafter undergraduates
must be able to swim at least 22O
yards and pass a physical examina-
ton.
DR.. Joseph F. Roycroft. as head Of
the department Of hygiene and phys
ical instruction, began to put these
physical requirements into effect by
initiating the freshmen into the new
system.
He notified them that all freshmen
will be required to perform a specified
amount of athletic exercise and that
five new baseball diamonds and nine
tennis courts have been constructed to
give them room to practice. Sophie
mores and upper class men are exempt
from the new regulations.

FIRST MOVES FOR THE
CAMPAIGN OF 1912.
National Committees Will Meet T.
Washington In DecemL-r.

When the Republican national com
mittee meets in Washington on Dec
70 to fix the time and place for the
holding of the Republican national
convention next year. the committee
men will also be called upon to meet
the demand Of the National Progress
sive Republican league that the direct
vote system be officially adopted as
the method of choosing delegates to
the convention. While the Progressive
Republicans have only about three
members on the national committee
the proposed fight will be the opening
gun of the battle for the presidential
nomination in the Republican party
next year.
In all probability. Senator William
E. Borah Of Idaho will be chosen to
present the demand of the Progress
sives that the national committee shall
pass a resolution recommending that
in all states wherever practicable the
state committee shall call presidential
primaries at least thirty days prior to
the Republican national convention.
The convention will be composed of
approximately 1862 delegates.
Indications now point to Chicago as
the convention city of the Republican
party. st. Louis and Buffalo have ask
ed for the convention, and Kansas
City, Mo-, Denver, and possibly st.
Paul may also be applicants. Chicago
has not yet extended its invitation,
but it is expected to do so. The De-
cember meeting of the committee will
also fill permanently the vacancy in
the Craftsmanship occasioned by the
retirement of Frank II. Hitchcock.
John f. Hill of Maine, the acting
chairman, will probably be continued
at the head of the committee. if prec-
edent is followed.
The Democratic national committee
will also meet in Washington in De-
cember to choose a convention city and
fix date for their national conven-
ton. The formal call is expected
shortly. Progressive Democrats will
demand that delegates to the national
convention be chosen by direct pri-
maries and the committee may accede
to the demand.

THE COMING WARSHIP.
Great sritain's Experiment May Mean
Great Alterations In Construction.

Great Britain's Experiment May Mean
Great Alterations In Construction.
What will be the ultimate outcome OF
the British admiralty's recent order for
| a destroyer to be fitted with internal
combustion engines 1t is difficult to de
termine. but should the experiment
prove a success it is possible to fore
see an alteration Of great magnitude
in warship construction. The saving
in weight. space and labor by the use
of this class of engine is enormous
when compared with the ordinary ma
rine steam engine.
1t is estimated that 80 per cent of the
space at present utilized by the main
engines would be saved and as much
present it is necessary to provide stor-
age for the great quantity of coal fuel
in order that ships shall have an eff
fective radius of action. but with the
internal combustion engine oil fuel
only would be required. The same
horsepower would be obtained from
about one-third of the weight of fuel
at present consumed per hour. The
saving in weight of an engine of 1000
horsepower would be about one-half,
while 10 per cent would be saved in
labor.
Another point to be noted is that
with internal combustion engines fun
nels. as we know them. would become
things of the past. This would be
distinct gain to the destroyer, whose
whereabouts is at present often be-
trayed by the fare from its tunnels or
the volume of smoke emitted

HEELS AND HOBBIES BLAMED.
Railroad Learns Causes of Accidents to
Women Patrons.

That high heels and hobble skirts are
responsible for a large proportion of
the injuries sustained by women while
getting on and off trains and mount
ing and descending stairways in sta
lions is the conclusion reached by the
Pennsylvania railway claim depart
ment after an investigation covering
three months in which seventy-three
such cases were recorded.
The injuries ranged from slight con-
tusions TO painful sprains and cuts.
Typical of the causes set forth are:
Heel caught on step Of coach and
torn off
High heels caught while descend
ing stairs: wore hobble skirt
1t is pointed out that the railroad
can do nothing to prevent these casual
ties because women of all times have
followed styles that are dangerous to
life and limb
