BIG STICK SMASHES; ROOSEVELT DEFENDS THE SECRET SERVICE In Message to House President De= dares His Statements in Previous Words to Congress Were Grossly Misunderstood.

Washington. — President Roosevelt’s big stick crashed down upon the heads of Representatives Tawney of Minnesota, Smith of lowa, Sherley of Kentucky, and Fitzgerald of New York, when the executive sent a special message to the house of representatives, berating those solons for being champions of the successful move to place limitations upon the scope of the secret service. The president also declared that the Interpretation of the house of the secret service clause in his last message was misunderstood, and had there been any evidence which would point to the necessity of an investigation of members, such evidence would long ago have been turned over to the proper authorities. The message was In answer to the resolution transmitted from the house In which the representatives asked for evidence upon which Mr. Roosevelt based his statements that the “chief argument in favor of the provision was that the congressmen did not themselves wish to be investigated by secret service men." Message of the President and Reasons Therefor. The message ft part: “To the House of Representatives: I have received the resolution of the house of representatives of December 17, 1908, running as follows: " ‘Whereas, there was contained In the sundry civil appropriation bill which passed congress at Its last session and became a law, a provision in reference to the employment of the secret service in the treasury department; and “ ‘Whereas, In the last annual message of the president of the United States to the two houses of congress it was stated in reference to that provision: “It is not too much to say that this amendment has been of benefit only, and could be of benefit only, to the criminal classes,” and it was further stated: "The chief argument in favor of the provision was that the congressmen did not themselves wish to be investigated by secret service men,” and it was further stated: "But if this is not considered desirable a special exception could be made in the law, prohibiting the use of the secret service force in investigating members of congress. It would be far better to do this than to do what actually was done, and strive to prevent or at least to hamper effective action against criminals by the executive branch of the government;” and " ‘Whereas, the plain meaning of his words is that the majority of the congressmen were in fear of being investigated by secret service men and that congress as a whole was actuated by that motive in enacting the provision in question. Now, therefore. " ‘Be it Resolved, That the president be requested to transmit to the house any evidence upon which he based his statements that the ‘chief argument in favor of the provision was that the congressmen did not themselves wish to be investigated by secret service men,’ and also to transmit to the house any evidence connecting any member of the house of representatives of the Sixtieth congress with corrupt action in his official capacity, and to Inform the house whether he has instituted proceedings for the punishment of any such Individual by the courts or has reported any such alleged

nquoucxes u housu of es.’ nnot Understand Trend of the House Resolution. "I am -wholly at a loss to understand the concluding portion of the resolution. I have made no charges of corruption against congress nor against any member of the present house. If I had proof of such corruption affecting any member of the house in any matter as to which the federal government has jurisdiction, action would at once be brought, as was done in the cases of Senators Mitchell and Burton, and Representatives Williamson, Herrmann and Driggs, at different times since I have been president. This would simply be doing my duty In the execution and enforcement of the laws without respect to persons. But I do not regard It as within the province or the duties of the president to report to the house ‘alleged delinquencies’ of members, or the supposed ‘corrupt action’ of a member ‘in his official capacity.’ The membership of the house is by the constitution placed within the power of the house alone. In the prosecution of criminals and the enforcement of the laws the president must resort to the courts of the United States. “In the third and fourth clauses of the preamble it is stated that the meaning of my words is that ‘the majority of the congressmen are In fear of being investigated by secret service men’ and that ‘congress as a whole was actuated by that motive In enacting the provision in question,’ and that this is an impeachment of the honor and integrity of the congress. These statements are not I think in accordance with the facts. Declares He Said Nothing to Warrant the Statement. “A careful reading of this message will show that I said nothing to warrant the statement that ‘the majority of the congressmen were In fear of being investigated by the secret service men,’ or ‘that congress as a whole was actuated by that motive.’ I did not make any such statement in this message. Moreover I have never made any such statement about congress as a whole, nor, with a few inevitable exceptions, about the members of congress, in any message or article or speech. On the contrary I have always not only deprecated but vigorously resented the practice of indiscriminate attack upon congress, and Indiscriminate -- condemnation of all congressmen, wise and unwise, fit and unfit, good and bad alike. No one realizes more than I the importance of co-operation between the executive and congress, and no one holds the authority and dignity of the congress of the United States in higher respect than I do. I have not the slightest sympathy with the practice of judging men, for good or for ill, not on their several merits, but In a mass, as members of one particular body or one caste. To put together all men holding or who have held a particular office, whether it be the office of president, or judge, or senator, or member of the house of representatives, and to class them all, without regard to their individual differences, as good or bad, seems to me utterly indefensible; and it is equally indefensible whether the good are fonfounded with the bad in a heated and unwarranted championship of all, or in a heated and unwarranted assault upon all. Charge in Resolution Due to Density of the Solons. "This allegation in the resolution, therefore, must certainly be due to an entire failure to understand my message.

A Suspicion. “Biggins says he is au idealist.” “Yes,” answered Miss Cayenne; “but I am afraid that he is one vs those who believe that the first test of an idealist is to be idle.”

"The resolution continues: ‘That the president be requested to transmit to the house any evidence upon which he based his statements that the ‘chief argument in favor of the provision was that the congressmen did not themselves wish to be investigated by secret-service men.’ This statement, which was an attack upon no one, still less upon the congress, is sustained by the facts. “If you will turn to the Congressional Record for May 1 last, pages 5553 to 5560, inclusive, you will find the debate on this subject. Mr. Tawney of Minnesota, Mr. Smith of lowa, Mr. Sherlev of Kentucky, and Mr. Fitzgerald of New York, appear in this debate as the special champions of the provision referred to. Messrs. Parsons, Bennet and Driscoll were the leaders of those who opposed the adoption of the amendment and upheld the right of the government to use the most efficient means possible In order to detect criminals and to prevent and punish crime. The amendment was carried in the committee of the whole, where no votes of the individual members are recorded, so I am unable to discriminate by mentioning the members who voted for and the members who voted against the provision; but its passage, the journal records, was greeted with applause. lam well aware, however, that in any case of this kind many members who have no particular knowledge of the point at issue, are content simply to follow the lead of the committee which had considered the matter, and I have no doubt that many members of the house simply followed the lead of Messrs. Tawney and Smith, without having had the opportunity to know very much as to the rights and wrongs of the question. Chip Is Knocked Off Roosevelt’s Shoulder. “I would not ordinarily attempt in this way to discriminate between members of the house, but as objection has bee* taken to my language, in which I simply spoke of the action of the house as a whole, and as apparently there is a desire that I should thus discriminate. I will state that I think the responsibility rested on the committee on appropriations, under the lead of the members whom I have mentioned. "Now as to the request of the congress that I give the evidence for my statement that the chief argument in favor of the provision was that the congressmen did not themselves wish to be investigated by secret service men. "The part of the Congressional Record to which I have referred above entirely supports this statement. Two distinct lines of argument were followed in the debate. One concerned the question whether the law warranted the employment of the secret service in departments other than the treasury, and this did not touch the merits of the service in the least. The other line of argument went to the merits of the service, whether lawfully or unlawfully employed, and here the chief if not the only argument used was that the service should be cut down and restricted because its members had ‘shadowed’ or Investigated members of congress and other officers of the government. If we examine the debate in detail it appears that most of what was

form of the simple statement that the committee held that there had been a ‘violation of law' by the use of the secret service for other purposes than suppressing counterfeiting (and one or two other matters which can be disregarded), and that such language was now to be used as would effectually prevent all such ‘violation of law’ hereafter. Mr. Tawney, for instance, says: ‘lt was for the purpose of stopping the use of this service in every possible way by the departments of the government that this provision was inserted’: and Mr. Smith says: ‘Now, that was the only way in which any limitation could be put upon the activities of the secret service.’ Mr. Fitzgerald followed in the same vein, and by far the largest part of the argument against the employment of the secret service was confined to the statement that it was in ‘violation of law.’ Os course, such a statement is not in any way an argument in favor of the justice of the provision. It is not an argument for the provision at all. It is simply a statement of what the gentlemen making it conceive to have been the law. Regarding Restrictions of the Secret Service. “There was both by Implication and direct statement the assertion that it was the law, and ought to be the law, that the secret service should only be used to suppress counterfeiting: and that the law should be made more rigid than ever In this respect. "Incidentally I may say that In my judgment there is ample legal authority for the statement that this appropriation law to which reference was made imposes no restrictions whatever upon the use of the secret service men, but relates solely to the expenditure of the money appropriated. Mr. Tawney in the debate stated that he had in his possession ‘a letter from the secretary of the treasury received a few days ago’ in which the secretary of the treasury ‘himself admits that the provisions under which the appropriation has been made have been violated year after year for a number of years In his own department.* I append herewith as appendix A, the letter referred to. It makes no such admission as that which Mr. Tawney alleges. It contains on the contrary, as you will see by reading it, an 'emphatic protest against any such abridgment of the rights delegated to the secretary of the treasury by existing law,’ and concludes by asserting that he ‘is quite within his rights in thus employing the service of these agents’ and that the proposed modification which Mr. Tawney succeeded in carrying through would be ‘distinctly to the advantage of violators of criminal statutes of the United States.’ I call attention to the fact that in this letter of Secretary Cortelyou to Mr. Tawney, as in my letter to the speaker quoted below, the explicit statement is made that the proposed change will be for the benefit of the criminals, a statement which I simply reiterated in public form in my message to the congress this year, and which is also contained in effect In the report of the secretary of the treasury to the congress. "A careful reading of the Congressional Record will also show that practically the only arguments advanced in favor of the limitation proposed by Mr. Tawney’s committee, beyond what may be supposed to be contained by implication in certain sentences as to ‘abuses’ which were not specified, were those contained in the repeated statements of Mr. S+ierley.

Daily Thought. Efforts to be permanently useful must be uniformly joyous—a spirit all sunshine—graceful from every glad--1 ness, because bright.—Carlyle.

"Mr. Sherley stated that there had been ‘pronounced abuses growing out of the use of the secret service for purposes other than those intended,’ putting his statement in the form of a question, and in the same form further stated that the private conduct of ‘members of congress, senators,’ and others ought not to be in- ’ vestigated by the secret service, and that they should not investigate a ‘member of 1 congress who had been accused of ‘conduct unbecoming a gentleman and a member of congress.’ In addition to these assertions couched as questions, he made one positive declaration, that ‘This secret . service at one time was used for the purpose of looking nlto the personal conduct of a member of congress." This argument of Mr. Sherley, the only real argument as to the merits of the question made on behalf of the committee on apwill found in columns 1 aa , ~, of Page 5556, and column lof page 5507 of the Congressional Record. In column 1 of page 5556 Mr. Sherley refers to the impropriety of permitting the secret service men to Investigate men in the departments, officers of the army and > nmn^i aad ma l nbers of congress; in col- > umn 1. page 5557, he refers only to mem- ■ His speech puts most weight on the investigation of members of congress. 1 appaars ,n th « record Is filled out and explained by an article which appeared in the Chicago Inter-Ocean of January 3, 1904, under a Washington ^ d '“/’.h 113 marked the beginm> g of this agitation against the secret Mo a WaS a special article of about 3.000 words, written, as I was then in- 1 and now un dcrstand, by Mr. L. to th USbey ’ that tim ® pr ‘vate secretary to the speaker of the house.

Some of the persons involved in -hese violations were of great wealth polit * cal and social influence. , Both their corporate associations and their political affiliations, and the lawless character of some of their employes ' made the investigations not onlv difficult but dangerous.

^^SStheseinvestlgatlons In the cases were undertaken in consequence I of Mr. Hitchcock, the then secretary of the interior, becoming convinced that there were extensive frauds committed in his department; and the ramifications of the frauds were so far-reaching that he was afraid to trust his own officials to deal in thoroughgoing fashion with them. One of the secret service men accordingly resigned and was appointed in the interior department to carry on this work. The first thing he discovered was that the special agents’ division or corps of detectives of the land office of the interior department was largely un- 1 der the control of the land thieves; and in consequence the investigations above referred to had to be made by secret service men. “If the present law, for which Messrs. Tawney, Smith, and the other gentlemen I have above mentioned are responsible, had then been in effect, this action would have been Impossible, and most of the criminals would unquestionably have escaped. No more striking instance can be imagined of the desirability of having a central corps of skilled investigating agents who can at any time be assigned, if necessary in large numbers, to investigate some violation of the federal statutes, in no matter what branch of the public service. In this particular case most of the men investigated who were public servants were in the executive branch of the government. But in Oregon, where an enormous acreage of fraudulently alienated public land was recovered for the government, a United States senator, Mr. Mitchell, and a member of the lower house. Mr. Williamson, were convicted on evidence obtained by men transferred from the secret service, and another member of congress was indicted." Chief Asks for Reversal of Action of Solons. The president then gave a number ol other instances, all of which tend to point out the efficiency of the secret service, and he concludes: “In conclusion. I most earnestly ask, In the name of good government and decent administration, in the name of honesty and for the purpose of bringing to justice violators of the federal lawi wherever they may be found, whether in public or private life, that the action taken by the house last year be reversed. When this action was taken, the senats committee, under the lead of the lats i Senator Allison, having before It a strongly-worded protest from Secretary *>ortelyou like that he had sent to Mr. Tawney, accepted the secretary’s views;: and the senate passed the bill in the shape presented by Senator Allison. In the conference, however, the house conferees Insisted on the retention of the provision they had Inserted, and the senate yielded. “T,he chief of the secret service is paid a salary utterly Inadequate to ths importance of his functions and to ths admirable way in which he has per- । formed them. I earnestly urge that it may be increased to s6.<X£ per annum. I also urge that the secret service be placed where it properly belongs, and made a bureau in the department of justice, as the chief of the secret service has repeatedly requested; but whether this is done or not, it should be explicitly provided that the secret service can be used to detect and punish crime wherever it is found. “THEODORE ROOSEVELT.” |

WHY WELLS WAS WRATHY, All Things Considered, He Had Soma Excuse for Anger. Charles E. Wells, who has been called the groundhog senator of West X irginia, because he once introduced a bill advocating the changing of groundhog day from February 2 to July 4, was staying over night at the Grand hotel of a budding West Virginia village not long ago. He was awakened in the morning by heavy pounding on his door, and the voice of the old man night clerk saying “Five o’clock! Better get up or you’ll miss your train.” Mr. Wells didn’t intend to catch a morning train and hadn’t given any instructions that he should be called at the unearthly hour of five o’clock, so he paid no attention to the old man's early morning greeting and was asleep again almost immediately. In about 15 minutes he was again awakened by the pounding on his door and heard the voice of the old man saying apologetically: “Don’t get up. I rapped on the wrong door.”—Lippincott’s.
