satanic majesty, we should have been
exceedingly amiabc in our lnttituds
towards him. Perhaps though, he
imagincs that his position is awe inspir-
ing, and that those who have never had
any private conversations with him will
not dare to mcasurS arms with the
monied Mogul Of the ring. Hero he is
mistaken To be State Treasurer is not
to have Aladdin's lamp.
Hereafter whom Mr.. Card ,zo rushcs

So much for Mr.. C's bilingsg,,c. Let
us now examine his facts
Mr.. Cardozo charges Jllse Aalrevs
With having got Humbert to cash the
six thousand lolar order which brought
him out deEaulter. In our opinion
the State Treasurer would be reas,tin
his own int tercst by having as littlo to
say about the order in question rs
possible. We charge that he is as guilty
as any Que connected with tho trans c.
ton Judge Andrews and Humbort

Cardpzo accepted it, endorsed it as
>stator7yt trcasurcr, with the promis, to pa ~
it as soon as the appropri,Li IN bill

bert cashcd it. Who is to blame in
this? C4rdoz, for c,sl:in. the sec III i
or duplicate order or lIumbcrt who paid
tho original with the acceptance of the
Trcasurc"?
Mr. Carlozo says he never reported
thirty two County Traasurcrs. The
devil he didn't! His report is pl,ir
and upon receiving it res ,lution was
passed by the House instructing the
Attorney General to proceed against
defaulters at once This shows in VIII It
light that body regarded the p,rties
whom Mr.. Cord, 20 is now pleased to
call debtors a dcfaulter maans on,
who fails to pcrF,rm public dlty !;
particularly one who fails to account for
public money intvustcd to his care
Debtor means person who owes
another either money, goods or services .
NOW: now III the name OF common sense
can Treasurer become debtor with
out becoming at the same time de.
faulter to the State? Will the astut o
Cardozo inform us. We believe TIM.
the term debtor is more significant in
it's meaning, and when applied to a
County Treasurer and his public relation
TO the State, leaves no room for any on
to doubt tho fact OF his defacaton.
Therefore wc repeat that those whom
Cardozo reported to the General Assem-
ply as debtors are deraulters, unl that
