This Is the brief description Of an
assistant secretary and bookSeeper- Of
the Fidelity Trust Company, Of Louis
Vile. KY, who has almost beat the
record In the way OF cleaning out a
financial institution, his shortage being

There has been no explanation CIV

possible that a man could steal on such
a colossal scale and carry on his pecu-

If anybody else was guilty of stealing,
ROpke was always In position where
he could cover up his own rascalItE.
The man "above suspicion" having
decamped so often with everything IN

thievery-and Of such proportions as

series of years without detection,
either the average employee In these in

the general ruBy<6f mankind or else

Minnesota Not Insurgent.

To the Editor Of The Washington Tines
Win all respect to the writer Of the
recently published story that Mime
sofa is an insurgent state, permit me
TO cali attention TO these facts.

It.
The article sets forth that the three
regulars, Representatives Tawney, Of
the First district: Stevens, Of the
Fourth, and Nye, Of the Fifth, cannot
afford TO miss moment Of hard work,
so strong is the opposition
It IS a fact that. although the Fist
Congressional district Of Minnesota has
been supposed to be fncubating ground
for Insurgents, thus far no candidate,
iusurgent OF progressive, has appeared
against Mr.. Tawney, the chairman OF
the Committee on Appropriations.
The man who has been leading the
fight against Mr.. TaWney's renomina-
ton has sold his newspaper, at Albert
Lea and gone to the Pacific Caost
