Those who know the President
best realize that under a smiling
exterior Mr.. Taft conceals great
frmness and deter mination;
that. once convinced a PROPOSE
ton is right or wrong. nothing
can swerve him; and while slow
to make up his mind and willing
to weigh all the evidence pre-
scented before doing so, 9nce in
possession of the facts, he de-
cides for himself, and having
reached a decision. any effort to
induce HIM to change is likely to
awaken a wrath from which
those who arouse it are only to
glad to seek cover. Some of the
most thoughtful men in the par
ty councils are asking if Mr..
Taft's character is wholly under
stood by Messrs. Aldrich Hale
and others, and they tremble to
contemplate the result should
President Taft decide that the
party leaders in Congress have
not kept faith and are seeking to
obtain his signature to a bill
which does not make good the
promises of the platform on
which he was nominated and
elected. Much anxiety is felt
by some of the men responsible
for the tariff bill who realize the
chaos into which Congress. and
perhaps the country, would be
plunged were the President to
exercise the veto power and
who know Mr.. Taft's character
well enough to realize that he
would be deferred by no consi-
Iteration of political expediency
or financial exigency were he to
decide that it was his duty to
veto the bill.

Viroqua Boy in Naval Service Tells Of

we are eight days at sea to-day, and
we are TO arrive at Port SAID on JanQ-
airy 4, if all goes we'll 1t may be that
we shall be somewhat delayed in going
through the Suez canal, but ! doubt it,

If the sixteen ships to get them
through the canal We are about half
way through the Gulf of Alden now,
and tomorrow some time we shall pass
through the Straits of Babel Mandeb,
and into the Red Sea. Just think how
long Moses had to hold the waters of
this sea apart in order to let the hosts
Of the lsraelites pass through upon dry
land. The Red Sea must average 100
miles in width at least.
We are to stay in Port Said only long
enough TO coal, after which we proceed
directly to Athens, Greece. We stay
there six days, and then go to Saloniki,
in European Turkey, and then go to

The University Of Wisconsin through
its University Extension Division gath
ers and lends material for the study
and discussion of all the important
questions and topics of the day. The
great questions which must be de-
cided by the nation or the state, and
those which must be settled by city
councils and town and county boards
are all within the province of this di.
vision. Questions which are important
to fathers and mothers and home ma
kers, civic leagues and Improvement
associations, or organizations of bust.
ness and professional men are inves-
tigated by the Extension Division in
order that it may help others to in.
Vestigate them. The books, articles,
reports, references, and other material
which it gathers for its own inyesti-
CATION will be loaned, without cost, to
official and unofficial organizations.
When possible the University EXten-
sion Division will borrow and lend IT,
all students and official organizations,
books from the University, state and
national LIBRARIES which are essential
to tile W ne study of important ques.
lions. 1t will direct inquiries to the
best sources of information, to federal
and state departments. to national and
state Institutions to mon and women
who have special knowledge.
For century after century, genera
ton after generation, cities, states and
universities have gathered mateyial for
their libraries which have been easily
accessible only to those who could
come to them to study. The Uniyer-
sity Of Wisconsin, always unusually
liberal in aiding citizens of the state
who wish to consult its literary treas.
ures, Will use the most direct means
of employing the material which it has
gathered and which the state depart
ments have secured for the instruction
and education of all the people of the
state
For century after century, generation
after generation, the men who have
had the leisure and the means to in.
vestigate subjects carefully have given
their time largely to studies in history
anC literature, in pure science. and
have held themselves and their work
aloof from the masses of the people.
