THE DEALIsT MADE PRACTICAL
CNew Haven Register.)

It will be we'll for the state of Con- necticut if the 150 or so of it's inf1uen- the Connecticut Civil Service Reform association in this city last night shall comprehend and remember this one sentence from Governor Woodrow is just this-to organize the general interests so efficiently that special in terests can't dominate them.'' If they shall get that thought thoroughly hold it firmly and hustle, this will be a different state before many years have passed

In short, the governor showed most clearly that the most ideal civil service, be it achieved, is only part of the victory, and that truly compe- tent government is something far lar ger and a1-inclusive.
 It was a most remarkable address which the men present received from the governor of New Jersey. In jus tice to him it should be said that though it was intensely political in Hhe good sense, it was entirely free from anything political in the cheap sense. It was wholly in good taste, and it was of exalted inspiration. It showed Governor Wi son to be a man Of red blood and educated common sense, an American of whom to be proud. That he is an idealist is no news to those who have watched and read him. He has long been that But the man who spoke last night is an ideaEst made practical. He has fI7c fr=iI iIxa r1f faf fIoa of government as it works. And he has the knowledge to make good use Of what he sees. He made clear last night that only a few can be on the inside, but that such a few of the right sort may be the salvation of America Isn't it the duty of pa- triotic Americans to assist in the prac- ticaI education of a few selected ideal iSts2

At the rehearsal of living whist at Colonial ball room, Sunday afternoon, those who were present witnessed one of the greatest attractions that was ever presented in this country.

The ladies were garbed in st k bearing the card which they represented. After the game, which lasted two and one-half hours, there was flashlight picture taken of the group. This picture wdll be on exhibition in the leading stores today. Some people are under the impression that living whist is a com mon game of whist, but it is not so.

 COL. ROOSEVELT
Especial from United Press.)

New York. Feb. 2O-The campaign to force the nomination of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt by the Repub1i- can National Convention, at Chicago, developed an anonymous phase, today. Thousands of copies of a 32 page pamphlet dealing with the present political situation were sent broadcast through the mails. The document, carefully prepared and decidedly in- sidious in it's argument, is entirely in the interest of Roosevelt. It Is la belled "a Democrat, LaFollette, Taft or Roosevelt" and purports to review the entire political situa ton.
 A summary, enclosed, says that the writer is a Heading member of the bar who was one of the moving spir- its in the opposition to a third term for General Grant in 1S76," and says that politicians who are speculating with interest on the source of this mysterious screed, ,'-although politi~ clans so far know nothing about it- believes it indicates a missing Roose- welt sentiment among professional businessmen.
 After reviewing the entire field, the pamphlet declares:
 Colonel Roosevelt is the strongest man the Republicans can nominate.' 20
