vELT'S ADMINISTRATION

Berlin.-The North German Gazette,
in it's weekly political review, after pay
ing former President Roosevelt glow
ing tribute as one of the greatest
statesmen the United States ever has
produced, says:
"From the German standpoint the de-
velopment which German-American re-
lations made under President Roosevelt
will ever be remembered with satisfac.
ton. The traditional friendship which
has ever marked the relations of the two
countries acquired new security during
the last seven years.
'tBoth here and in America the con-
viction has grown that the two powers
have been impelled by weighty consid
erations to cultivate friendly relation,
ship in the interest of themselves as
well as the upward life of the civiliza-
ton of all peoples"
Roosevelt to Simple Life.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, March s.-Further
evidence that former President Roose-
welt is leading the simple life was sup
piled Sunday when he and his wife came
trudging through the slush and snow to
church. They had left Sycamore Hill,
three miles from the village, at 10
clock. 1t was with his usual stride
that Colonel Roosevelt swung along,
and Mrs. Roosevelt had difficulty in
keeping pace with him. Both were in
their pew in Christ Episcopal church 10
minutes before the hour scheduled for
service.
Every one was surprised to see Mr..
and Mrs. Roosevelt come to church on
foot. Their children, Miss Ethel and
Kermit, were not so brave. All occu-
pied the usual family pew. Although
Mr.. Roosevelt is member of the Dutch
Reformed church, he partook of the sac
rament of the Lord IS supper with Mrs.
Roosevelt and their children.
In special prayer the rector offered
thanks for the safe return to his home
of the former president and for the wis
dom with which he had conducted his
administration.
The Roosevelt family left the church
before the service. was quite over, and
on the way exchanged greetings with
those present.
During the afternoon Mr.. Roosevelt
remained in his library reading. He
is thoroughly enjoying much needed
rest.
No visitors have been received at
Sycamore Hill. Mr.. Roosevelt is pass
ing his mornings indoors and afternoons
out Of doors. He insists on having a
certain amount of exercise in order to
keep in trim for his African expedition.
New Workers Laud Roosevelt.
New York.-Former President Roose-
welt was the theme in several churches
here Sunday. In Calvary Baptist church
the pastor, DR.. Macarthur, offered a
series Of resolutions to his current events
class highly complimenting Mr.. Roose-
welt IS administration. The resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted, re-
joiced at the superb service which Mr..
Roosevelt has rendered as patriot, states
man and president; as father of the
Panama canal and as the peacemaker
IN the Russo-Japanese war, and honor
ed him for his loyal support of. civic
righteousness and the highest ideals of
manhood.

Manila, March 10.-The strike of the
street-car men in this city, which was
declared March 4, has not spread beyond
the railway operatives as yet, though
there is still possibility that other
laborers will 60 out in sympathy. The
various labor unions of the city held

A Great Man Gone.
It may be said In connection that
the real key to his success was his
personal charm which got and held
for him the regard Of everybody. Il
was significant that politicians never
turned upon him and blamed him for
their political wrongs; they often had
greviences against some Of his lieu
tenents but they always made It un-s

They liked him because he liked the
people; he was interested In all that
pertained to anything human: he had
a cordially that never seemed affect
ed and to shake hands with him was
to like him. He gave the impression
of a man very much in earnest and
the people felt confidence in him
that was almost unshakable. In the

rup to his Office and told him plainly
that the university would be kept out
OF politics while he was governor and
that he expected Northrup to remain
as Its president indefinitely.
By virtue of his Office the governor
is member of number of the state
boards, but Mr.. Johnson's conduct
as such has set new precedent in
such affairs. He has not been merely
figurehead in their meetings. but has
taken very active part, not as
governor or an overload, but as a
member on equal footing with his as
sociates.
During the three terms as governor
he has maintained the most cordial re-
lations with the legislatures, although
they have been about three -fourths re-
publican. His first message outlined
as his conception of the vital needs
OF the state at the time, four year
term for governor with one term
limit; reduced freight rates; abolition
of railway passes; an employers liza
bility law; liberal forestry policy and
a non.partisan judiciary.
The Insurance Investigation.
Early in his first term when the
wave Of insurance investigation was
sweeping over the country, Mime
apolis company became involved and
Governor johnson Immediately took a
hand and forced the resignation of it's
officers, placed the company in the
hands of committee Of business men
and pursued the matter until he land
ed one of the guilty officials in states
prison. From this he became leader
in the movement for uniform state
laws on life insurance and upon his
suggestion to President Roosevelt the
insurance commissioner Of the Dis.
trict Of Columbia called q meeting of
governors and insurance commission
ers and drafted a model law which has
been adopted by number Of states.
The Campaign Of 1906.
The campaign of 1906 opened with
the republicans having some difficulty
in selecting a candidate for governor
and finally nominating Cole who was
believed to have the support of the
corporations altho such was not the
case. Mr.. Johnson made another rap
id-fire campaign making 119 speeches
in seven weeks in 70 counties of the
state paying his fare himself for every
mile travelled. The result was not in
doubt from the start but this plurality
was surprise as he polled 168,48O to
96,162 for Cole while all other repub.
lican candidates were elected by
plurality as high as $4,000 on attorney
general. This time with the legisla-
ture again strongly against him polit-
ically Governor Johnson received more
consideration for his ideas and among
his recommendations which were
adopted were:
+ A maximum schedule Of freight
rates
a two cent passenger fare law.
Abolition Of railway passes and
franks. 4 n
Reciprocal tonnage law. +
Increased taxation for sleeping car
companies. 5 a. /,
Permanent tax commission with

ARRESTED FOR
ROBBING MAILS
CHIEF CLERK IN DENVER SPECIAL
DELIVERY DEPARTMENT CON-
FESSES CRIME.
RESULT OF FAST LIVING
ARREST SOLVES MYSTERY OF
CONTINUED DISAPPEARANCE
OF VALuABLES.

Observation-Disclosures with positive
evidence that he had stolen from the
mails at the Denver postoffice, Il spe-
cial delivery letter containing $19,
Howell Snowden, for four and a half
years chief clerk of the special deliv-
cry department, and in every respect
trusted employe, broke down and
confessed to Chief Postoffice Inspector
Cochran that he had stolen scores of
letters in a similar manner within the
past year, and had obtained hundreds
of dollars from them.
Snowden lives at eco Nineteenth
street and is single. He has been con-
nected with the Denver postoffice for
six years. His friends say that his
downfall is due to infatuation for
women.
Following his confession he was i'm
mediately taken before United States
Commissioner. Hinsdale, where he was
formally charged with the theft of the
letter and held under $4,000 bond. He
was iuable to furnish the bond and
was taken to the county jail.
The arrest of Snowden furnishes
solution to mystery that has worried
postoffice officials in Denver and many
other cities for months. Reports from
all parts of the country have frequent
ly been received of the loss of special
delivery letters sent either to or from
the Denver office and an investigation
has been going on for nearly a year to
discover the thief.
The complaints began when E. l..
Mckee was inspector in charge, and
when he was given position in the
field It month ago, he, with Inspector
H. G. Durand, was assigned to the
case. They soon became convinced
that the letters were being taken in
the special delivery department of the
Denver office, but the problem of dis
covering the thief seemed impossible
of solution.
The good record made by Snowden
in the service made them slow in at
tachins suspicion to him, but circum-
stances soon led them to watch his
movements. Several times they
thought they had discovered proof of
his guilt, but it was not until Thurs
day that they were able to fasten his
guilt upon him. Concealed in the of
flee they saw him take a atter from
the special delivery package and hide
it.
Deputy United States Marshal Chad
wick was also stationed in the office
and placed Snowden under arrest.
