 Roosevelt in Washington
 Col. F. w. Halford, formerly secretary
 to President Harrison. in Leslie's.
 The nomination of MT Blaine sent MT. Roosevelt into temporary retire. ment Tn view of his temperament and
 training it could hardly have been
 otherwise. In 1888 the republican party harmonized itself in the nomina-
 tion of Benjamin Harrison, who was elected after a notable campaign. Mr Roosevelt fully supported General Harrison, and because of my relation to him and to the campaign. he wrote me urging that the candidate should give strong adherence to the civil service reform principle This was done in Harrisons letter of acceptance and in the inaugural address.
 But civil service reform was Tn rather bad shape in 1sSS-S9. MT. Cleve- land covered into the service certein classes of appointments during the closing days of his administration. an act which caused angry criticism from | a large and influential section Of the republican party. while upon general principles the reform was by no means fully accepted by either of the parties, and was generally regarded except in select circles. as a rather bothersome
 political founding.
 The civil service commission was among the first things the new admin 1 istration was called upon to reform and the task took no little courage to l handle decisiveE. In April after the {, inauguration. Henry c. Lodge, then member of the House of Representa- l lives, called at the secretarys office | in the White House. and urged the ap- ! pointment of MT. Roosevelt to the civ'' service commission. I brought the sus- i gestion to the attention of the Pres.- dent the same day during walk taken fter the days office routine. After some days consideration the President directed ne to wire Mir Roosevelt t2 | come to Washington. He did so, had an interview with the President. with 1 the result that the appointment was made, and on May ' MT. Roosevelt was

NEW SPANISH CLUB

The best features of the programme at last Thursdays session of the Spaish- American club were the singing by MT. Justo and the story of the pirates in the Island of Cuba by Miss Elizabeth Stead ham. MT. Justo sang a number of Span ish popular songs in his usual entertain ing way.
 teresting facts about the influence of the pirates on the early life of tho Gu ban colony. She emphasized the fact that she was reciting history and not merely telling tales of fiction. The Span- ish and English pirates were most con- spicuous in tho West Indies, but some portions of Cuba were infested by French corsairs. As usual in those days these freebooters were bought off, but as else where, were finally suppressed. One of the most conspicuous figures Of those days was Captain General Tacon, TOT whom the old Tacon theatre in Havana was named. The site is now occupied by the Gallego club, one of tho handsomest in the new world.
 Dr. J. H. Cornyn stressed tho impor- tance Of studying the Spanish language and Latin-American subjects, because of the certain greatly expanded commercial relations looked for between this country and the 20 Latin-Americxn republics.
 The Spanish-American club views with much interest and real satisfaction the great interest and unusually large en- rollment in the midday classes at the Civic association. Dr. Glenn has an- nounced that the interest is such as to justify the organization of a night class also, to provide for many inquirers who would like to study Spanish, but cannot spare the time in the middle of the day. Such persons should come to the Civic association Monday night for the purpose of enrollment

The Poison
 State Senator Henry M. Sage, in Les
 lies.
 Far worse than the colossal waste at Washington and the fallacies which have accompanied that waste is the poison which has crept into our body polite not only from anarchistic Rus sia and from socialistic Germany, al- though there it had its foul source Here it has infected not only the ignor- ant but also many who call themselves intellectuals, but who are generally known as highbrows. From this latter class spring many who played the game of our enemies in the great war. They have a large following not only of the ignorant but also of well meaning edu- cated people whose so-called human sympathies are overdeveloped at the eX- pense of their intelIects. who are con vinced that the world should be changed by destroying all the serviceable sign posts which civilization and govern ment have so laboriously marked with the Hanger" sign. They want new thing and each new thing must be done at the expense of a government al- ready overburdened. Their sight does not reach beyond tomorrow, and most of their "isms" have already been tried in countries less fortunate than this, and been ended in red disaster.
