Washington.-Rep Per-
kins of New York Friday introduced
the following resolution:
Whereas, There wascontained in the

passed Congress at its last session and
became a law, provision in reference
TO the employment OF the secret service
In the Treasury Department. and.
Whereas. In the message OF the
President of the United States to the
two houses OF Congress-. II was stated
In reference to that provision:
"Tt is not too much to say that this
amendment has been of benefit onls.
and could be OF benefit only TO the
criminal classes and II was further
stated the chief argument In favor of
the provision was that the Congress-
men did not themselves wan TO be fnyes-
tigated by secret service mem and IL
was further stated, but II this is not
considered desirable special excep-
tion could be made in the law, prohibit
ing the use OF the secret service force
in investigating members of Congress.
II would be far better to- do this, than
to do what actually was done. and
strive TO prevent or at least hamper
effective action against criminals by
the Legislative branch Of the govern
ment.' Now. therefore be II
Resolved. That a committee of five
members OF Congress of this House be
appointed by the speaker to consider

The resolution was adopted.
In submitting the resolution Mr., Per

THE statements made by the Presi-
dent cannot be lightly regarded. They
may be so construed by the public as
to lessen the dignity and thereby i'm
pair the usefulness of the Congress of
the United States. II can be justly
said, think. that these expressions
were unfortunate. Whether II is enough
10 say this. or whether some more for
NAL action should be taken 1t will be
for Congress. exercising wise and dis

GOV. HUGHES SPOKE.
Crowd Of Two Hundred Heard Brief
Address Friday.


Probably 200 Jasperites we're waiting
at the station last Friday when Cover.
nor Hughes Of New York pulled in on
his special train and stopped q few min
utes to extol the virtues OF Mr.. Taft.
The governor made q plain matter-of.
fact talk, devoid Of ornament ation and
full OF plain common-sense, though his
talk was probably not long enough to
rank as vote.getting campaign speech.
The crowd had hardly had time to get
q good look at his famous whiskers be-
fore he was hustled out Of sight down
the track toward Webb City, where he
was scheduled for an hours address
that evening.
Governor Hughes is establishing
quite record as cross country cam
paigner, having already covered more
territory than any other man not an
actual candidate. A fair idea OF the
manner he has been covering ground
for Mr.. Taft may BIZ had from the fact
that after his speech at Webb City Fri.
day evening he was hurried by night to
st. Louis and after addressing depot
crowds oil the way across Illinois on
Saturday was at Chicago in time to be.
yin an hours speech at nine o'clock
that evening.
