PRESIDENT'S SPECIAL MESSAGE
As soon as tho house ro-convoned
after the holiday recess on Monday,
January 4, President Roosevelt sent
a message in reply to the inquiry
.concerning what ho meant by his se
cret service reference In his annual
mossago in December.
In this spocinl message the presi
dent disclaims any intention of
charging corruption against congress
or against any membor of tho pres
ent house. Then tho president says:
"Now as to tho request of tho
congress that I give the evidence for
my statement that the chief argu
ment in favor of the provision was
that the congressmen did not them
selves wish to bo investigated by se
cret sorvico men. Tho part of the
Congressional Record to which I
have referred above entirely suppqrts
this statement. Two distinct lines
Of argument were followed In tho
debate. One concerned the question
Xrjfch other the law warranted tho em
ployment of the secret servico in do-

partmonts other than the treasury,
and this did not touch the merits of
tho service in tho least. The other
lino of argument went to the merits
of tho servico, whether lawfully or
unlawfully employed, and here the
chief if not tho only argument used
was that iho sorvico should be cut
down and restricted because its mom
bora had 'shadowed' "or investigated
members of congress and other offi
cers of tho government. If we exam
ine the 'debate in detail It appears
that inostoof what was urged in
favor of the amendment took the
form of tho simple statement that
the committee held that there had
been a 'violation of law' by tho use
of the secret. service for other pur
poses than suppressing .counterfeit
ing (and ono or two pther matters
which can be disregarded), and that
such language was now to be used
as would effectually prevent all auch
'violation of law hereafter. Mr.
Tawney, for instance, says: 'It was
for the purpose of stoDnin the use
of this service in every possible way
by the departments of the govern
ment that this provision was insert
ed;; and Mr. Smith says: 'Now, that
was the only way in which any lim
itation could bo put upon the activi
ties of the secret service.' Mr. Fitz
gerald followed in the same vein,
and by far "the largest part of the
argument against the employment of
me secret service was confined to tho
statement that it was in 'violation of
law.' Of course such a statement is
no,t in nny way an argument in favor
of tho -Justice of the provision. It is
hot an argument for the provision
'at.. all.,, t .'is :simply ;a statement of
what the gentlemen tanking it con
ceive to hfivo been tjie law. There
Was both 1V imnlicattnnn nnd rilrnnf
statement Hhe assertion that' it was
tno law, ftnd bught to be the law,
that the secret service should only
be used to suppress counterfeiting;
and that the law should be made
more rig than ever tn this respect."
The Message, contained names of
many lqvjarp and cither individuals

Jmrnedlgrp localities,; And Associat
