hoping against hope today that Capt.
Scott at least reached the south pole.
Everywhere, Capt. Roald Arnundsen
is acclaimed as the real conquerer of
the Antarctic ice fields and his story
is accepted as absolutely. reliable.
There is admittedly only the barest
OF chances that Scott got there first;
in fact men like Sir Earnest Shackle-
ton and others of the geographical
society, after studying Amundsen's
narrative, say 1t was absolutely I'M
possible for Scott to have reached
thc big nail' before his Norwegian
rival, and the best hoped now is that
Scott was also successful.
The naming of the great plateau
In the majestic loneliness of which
the pole was located by the Nor
wegians, King Haakon Plateau has
caused an undercurrent of resentment
here where il is pointed ont this same
land was named after the late King
Edward by Shackleton, who penc-
trated that section.
That Scott probably discovered the
empty Norwegian tent, with the nag
of Norway flying abandoned la the
llmitless wastes Of ice and snow, ct
the uttermost end of the earth, when
he reached his long coveted goa! Is
considered nearly certain today. All
that could then be done by hiEi, or

From a staff Correspondent.


TOLEDO, o., March S.-The politi-
cal eye is focused on Ohio just now.
The Taft and Roosevelt forces are
pushing their campaigns to secure
delegates. The president is laying
especial siege to his home state. He
realizes that IL IL were carried by his
predecessor in office, and now his op-
ponent for the Republican nomination
Tor president, il would be hard blow.
From now on, therefore, the Taft
managers wifi devote ali the time
they possibly can to the Buckeye
state.
Presidential preference primaries
will be held in Ohio May 81. Twenty
one congressional districts will elect
wo=tefegates= each-to=the national
Republican convention. The names
of he-candidates for the nomination
for president will not be on the bal
lot. but the voters will know in ad.
vance the leanings OF the men they
send TO Chicago as delegates. For
this reason both sides are pressing
the fight in Ohio. The Taft forces
necessarily must work harder than
plainly evident that the former presi-
dent is especially popular with the
voters north of Columbus, while south
of the state capital President Taft
commands only comfortable and
perhaps safe following.

There seems to be no let-up TO the

rule was furnished by Mrs. Joseph
Creig, mother OF six children, living
at NO. 176 Benton-st. She cried while
relating the story OF her dealings
with the Fidelity Loan Co., but a sur
prise awaited Prosecutor Shepherd
when he asked her IL she were will

Mrs. Creig borrowed 500 from the

payments, she got harder up than
usual and was unable to pay up the

obligation. This made her angry. ana

ADVISED her to stop paying until she

Randall K. Phelps, No. 693 juno
