WISCONSIN, As LEADER
IN SOLVING PROBLEMS.

New York, May 20. - Theodore
Roosevelt has an article on "Wiscon
sin: An Object Lesson for the Rest Of
the Union" in the Outlook, in which
he says in part:
"We can now at least in many cases
look for leadership to Wisconsin when
we desire to try to solve the great so
cial and industrial problems of the
present and future, instead of being
forced always to look abroad. It il
noteworthy that in Wisconsin, when
one speaks Of such leadership, it Is
possible to include therein the student
as well as the political leader. In nc

the house Of representatives early this
week. The Democratic wool tariff bill
is promised for Friday. and the house
will hold no important session until
then. The Investigating committee
will have opportunity to push import

The steel trust investigation will be
resumed Tuesday, Chairman E. H.
Gary of the United States Steel Cor
poration board being among those
summoned. The sugar trust commit
tee will meet Thursday.
At the house end Of the capitol there
will be no general rally Of Democrats
until Thursday, when the wool tariff
measure will come up before the Dem
ocratic caucus. This is expected to
be the beginning OF q hard fight on the
revision of the wool schedule.
While there is much free wool sen.
timent among house Democrats, the
party leaders are confident the rev.
enue bill, drafted by the ways and
means committee, will be ratified by
the caucus.
Taft Hopeful.
President Taft is reported hopeful
that majority Of the senate can now
be rallied to adopt the Canadian agree
ment as it came from the house. but
when that hope in the form of ma
jority will get an opportunity to assert
itself is as uncertain as the length OF
the present session.

" are troubled over the doubtful situa-

Feared Marauding Bands.
So carefully were the arrangements
made for his departure that details
could not be confirmed until the after
noon. Secrecy was due less to appre-
hension of popular outburst here
than to a desire that he reach Vera

marauding bands along the route.

Diaz speaks only Spanish. and outside
