The Latest Wisconsin Progress.

Mr. Charles A. Ingram, Speaker Of
the Wisconsin lower House, has an
essay in La Follette's Weekly upon COM
pulsory State insurance, as following the
success of the new law in that Com
monwealth providing for voluntary
State insurance. Mr.. Ingram is the
author of the act creating the life
fund" out of which annuities and death
losses are to be paid. He says that the
undertaking is based on the theory that
every person with an earning capacity
should carry life and annuity insurance.
Compulsory insurance" according to
the author, may yet furnish the best
solution OF providing against old age,
sickness. accident, or poor relief" At
any rate, he argues that as basis for
all this the life fund" ought to be and
was established,
This is the plan: The State is 10
issue policies to residents only for not
more than $1,000 on any life. or $500
per annum, from the age OF sixty. on
an annuity risk The rates are to be
'conservatively strong from the stand
point Of insurance underwriting" and
the surplus from savings and profits IS
to be divided each year among the
policy holders. Loan and surrender
values are guaranteed to the insured
The State. however. assumes no fnan-
cial liability beyond the accumulated
assets. nor can it derive any profit from
the insurance. A low cost Of operation
is expected, as no new office is created,
the Commissioner Of Insurance and State
Treasurer having to discharge the duties
involved Medical examinations are to
be made by the State Board OF Health.
This new method and its trying-out
will create widespread interest every
where With good management, it may
lead to success and may be adopted in
other States. Just the same, Wisconsin
is our most progressive Commonwealth,
and no mistake.

Mr.. Taft's TactfuI Greeting.

1t was ! tactful compliment which
President Taft paid the German nation
when he proceeded TO Hampton Roads
yesterday with his military and naval
staff 10 welcome the Ka;ser's visiting
men-of-war In fact, Mr.. TAFT could
hardly do aught else than to repay the
German Emperor in kind, who, when
our ships called at Kiel, hastened to
that port in person to do honor to the
Stars and Stripes
The squadron is commissioned to
convey the friendliest feelings and
greetings to the President and the peo-
pie Of the United States and is oficered
by princes and notables of the empire
Our welcome will lack nothing Of cor
disliy Year by year the bonds of SYM
pathy have grown stronger between the
two countries and nations. We arc
coming to understand more and more
that under the external forms of mon
archy the life of the German IS aglow
with the spirit Of democracy. No other
nation has made such rapid strides in
progress, be it in science or education,
or technical skill in the industrial arts
and crafts. Both have borrowed from
each other of their energy, knowledge
and ambition. and both have vastly
profted by such interchange and reci-
Procity in working methods.
1t is peculiarly appropriate that there
should be such amiable intercourse
Ever since the dawn of our national
life Germany has befriended US. Ger
man officers and military leaders rem
dered valuable and conspicuously un-
selfish services in our war for inde-
pendence, and German immigrants in
enormous numbers have contributed to
the industrial growth, the business and
professional advancement, and the social
and intellectual culture of our nation.
But even from a technical viewpoint
the visiting flagship, the Moltke, is of
interest to our naval men as the very
last word in German warship construc-

type is that of 4 battleship-cruiser, by
many believed 10 be the most formi-

and yet there are only ten of our

strength. But, above all, her $4,000
horsepower turbines drive her at a speed
of almost thirty knots an hour, while
our mammoth sea-fghters achieve only
twenty-one knots, or even less. And,
finally, the visiting squadron belongs to
a navy that is being built up to become
one of the most powerful in the world,
and which, despite this strength, has
never been engaged in actual warfare

ENDS LIFE WITH GAS
Carefully Plans Death in the

inhaling Illuminating gas.
Mr. Wheeler who had been in iii health
for some time, left his bed at an early
hour and went to the lower floor. His
wife thought he was going to the kitchen
to prepare a cup of coffee. When he
reached the kitchen he took two canary
birds in their cages to the parlor. Re-
turning to the kitchen he closed the
door, removed a gas tube from a stove,
which he opened, and, while seated in
his favorite armchair. breathed the poi
sonous gas through the other end of the
tube.
Body Found by Wife.
Shortly after o'clock Mrs. Wheeler
went to the kitchen to prepare break
fast. and found her husbands body. A
physician was called, who stated that
death had occurred several hours before.
Coroner hewitt made an examination and
gave a certificate of death by suicide.
Mr. Wheeler was born near Hagers-
town, Nd, and had been a resident of
this city for thirty-five years. For
many years he conducted grocery store
at 18th and X streets northwest. He
failed in business several years ago. and
this. with i'll health, caused despo1d

The funeral arrangements have not
been completed, but it is expected serv-

dence, and that De Molay Commandery

Blau, who was a native of Germany,
was in the army for twenty-five years.
He had been superintendent of Sheridan

he was told it would soon be necessary
for him to step aside and give the posi-

All day yesterday he brooded over his
