Something New From Chicago Judge
on Presidents Views.

CHICAGO, January 11.-Judge Peter s.

gress Hotel last night Judge Grosscup
said:
II may not be sure but what resi-
dent Roosevelt is an over ideal. we must
not go too far in ideals. We must not
over emphasize them at the expense of
the practical side of life. They go hand
in hand with and accomplish something
more than dreams. Ideals are often
overdrawn and we may carry them too
far. 1t is in this respect that l refer to
