Civil Service Reformer.
He proved that unflinching civil
service reform was not only consist
ent with party loyalty. but in the
highest degree was necessary to party
service. None doubted the reformer's
Republicanism, but 1t was not an easy
task. Judgment. tact, honesty, ener-
gy, and certain sturdy pugnacity
were necessary to the accomplishment
of his purpose. Every detail of the
system was opened to carping criti-
cism and to hostile attack. The ad-
ministration itself was only friendly
to the movement. Not only had poll
ticians to be kept out of places, but
competent servitors had to be pro-
vided.

Lake Winnebago, said that 1t is re-

Gen. Shafter in Cuba.
With the Rough Riders.
From the time of landing until the
fall of Santiago the Rough Riders
were giant figures in the campaign.
Their work reached climax on July
l, when Lieut.-Col. Roosevelt led the
regiment in the desperate charge up
San Juan hill. He had shared all the
hardships of his men, and when he
broke the red tape of discipline to
complain of Gen. Skaters camp and
its dangers from disease the army was
with him and the war department lis
tened to his judgment. On July II he
was commissioned a colonel of volun-
teers.
Elected Governor of New York.
Scarcely two months later the new
military hero was nominated for gov
ernor of New York. In the conven
ton he received 1853 votes, against the
21S cast for Gov. Frank S. Black.
Col. Roosevelt entered into the cam
paign with characteristic energy Men
of all parties supported him and he
was elected by a plurality of more
than $4,000. His administration was
very satisfactory to his state.
AS reformer, official, military leader
and state executive, he has carried his
earnest dashing personality into it all.

Mr.. Roosevelt's Family.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been married
twice. His first wife was Miss Alice
Lee of Boston; the second, Miss Edith
Carow of New York. He is the father
of six children, ranging from 16 to 3
years of age.

AS president of the civil-service
commission Mr.. Roosevelt resigned in
May, 1895, to become president of the
New York board of police commission

shown the corruption in that body,
and to this field he turned with a new
zest. An uncompromising enforce

criticism and vituperation upon him,
but he persisted. Honest methods in
