Senator Warren of Wyom.ng, de
clares that democratic Indecision over
the wool schedule Is playing havoc
with the entire woolen Industry. Sen
ator Warren Is the greatest shepherd
of modern times and tho question
concerns him vastly. He declares
that not only have tho sheep raisers
suffered, but the woolen mills have
reduced their output to a minimum.
Many of the New England mills are
running only three days a week and
tho entire market, according to Mr.
Warren, Is in a state of partial paral
ysis as a result of the uncertainty of
tariff tinkering of the democraic
houso. It would not be compliment
ary to say some of the things that are
given In reply to Senator N arren
Henrv I,. Ptimson, who assumed tho
duties as secretary of war today, suc
ceeding Joseph M. Dickinson, will
probably do much traveling for the
president. According to present plans
it Is said that Mr. Stimson will do the
globe-trotting for the Taft adminis
tration that Mr. Taft did for the
Roosevelt administration. Mr. Stim
son has already made a good start
by addressing the Intercolonial Club
of Boston In the Interests of reci
procity. In fact for the present, It
is understood, all of Mr. Stimson's ad
dresses will be chlm'ly upon th's sub
ject, until the matter has been satis
factorily settled. Mr. Stimson Is a
fluent and convincing speaker, and
there is no doubt that he will create
a favorable impression on his various
tours.
