WIT1E LAUDS ROOSEVELT.

Terms.

Praises the President in Strongest
Terms.
In private letter received at Berlin,
NJ. Witte expresses the following opin-
ion of President Roosevelt:
From a moral standpoint the presi-
dent of the United States is a states
man of large caliber. Born in time
when politicians are more children of
their country than of their history, he
owes his high position, which he fills
more worthily every day, exclusively
to his personal qualities as revealed in
actions requiring dignity, tact and
clear vision. The world recognizes
this.
when one speaks with President
Roosevelt he charms through the ele
walton of his thoughts and through
that transparent Philosophy which
permeates his judgment. He has an
ideal. and strives for higher aims thar
commonplace existence presents. II
the stubborn struggles of our day mer
like Mr.. Roosevelt have no leisure, fol
they are soldiers who can not be re
lieved from the danger line"

TREASURY LOOT 60.
A Shortage Of Twenty Thousand Dol.
lars Discovered.

Columbus, o., April 15.--It has been
discovered by an agent Of the state
inspection bureau that there Is short.
age of $4,000 in the treasury Of Ath-
ems county. Recently an examination
was made Of the financial affairs Of
the county by this agent, and the mat
ter was unearthed. The remarkable
feature of the case Is that the defalca
tion occurred some years ago, and
that the shortage has been concealed
ever since
While the present treasurer, e. G.
Woodworth. will be held by the state
officials as responsible for the loss, yet
1t is not charged that he is In any
wise guilty of the peculation Of the
funds which are missing.
The books show that there is $4,000
less on hand than there should be, and
the treasurer Is simply asked to make
1t good. The matter has been close
secret in Athens, those interested In
the alleged embezzlement having been
able to keep 1t cloaked all these years.
Even now it Is not intimated who ia
directly responsible for the taking Of
the money, but 1t is remembered that
at the close Of certain treasurer's
term there was good deal Of scurry-
ing and running about on the part Of
his bondsmen. This person afterwarA
became quite prominent in state poll
tics, but lasted only short time. Tte
report Of the inspector who made the
examination has been fled with the
state bureau and by II turned over to
State Auditor Guilbert.
