Who Will BELL the Gait"

The leaders in Congress are very indig-
nant at the President for the implied in
situation, in his recent message, that
Congressman and U. S. Senators need
looking after by the secret service agents.
They have prepared resolution denounc-
ing the President for insinuating that all
members of their respective bodies are
not above reproach
An honest man does not worry about
being prosecuted for a robbery or some
other crime that he did not commit. If
the shoe don't fit our Congressman why
do they put it on so readily? If they are
above reproach and not corrupt, all the Sc
cret service detectives that the govern
ment might employ could not honestly
convict or injure them in any way. They
must have a skeleton in their closet that
they do not want brought to light. Truely
may it be said, that "a guilty conscience
needs no accuser. y
But now comes the matter Of selecting
the one who will be brave enough to defy
the Big Stick" and introduce the pre-
pared resolution in the House and Senate.
They are trying to make eats paw"
out Of the democratic party by getting
some democrat to introduce the measure
We do not doubt but that some of the
demodratic members are just as corrupt
as some of the republican members, but
as the republicans are more numerous in
both houses they should take the lead in
this matter. Our wise Lawmakers in
Washington are holding many consult l.
tons, as did the mice in the fable, to Sc
lect the proper person to ''tie the bell on
the cat. .

The Reception of the Presidents
Message by Congress.

The reception of the last message of
President Roosevelt by the republican
members of Congress was what might
have been expected from body COM
posed largely of representatives OF the
trusts and plutocrats. While the re-
publican party, during the last cam
paign, pretended to uphold the prin-
ciples of reform as advocated by Roose.
welt, the leaders of that party knew
that such pretense was only for the
purpose of securing votes for their can
didates, and that their representatives
would defy the "Big Stickn and openly
rebel at the authority of Roosevelt at
the first opportunity. The masses Of
the citizens believed that Congress
would not dare to turn down these re-
form principles, but they will learn soon
that nothing good can come out of any
pontical party that, by long tenure OF
office, has placed all the power in the
hands of its political bosses. 1t is our
belief that these reforms can never be
brought about through republican adj
ministration. We believe that Roose-
welt has honestly and faithfully tried to
better the conditions Of the country
but the money power has been too
strong against him; and there are
too many OF our Senators and Repre-
sentativrs who have succnnlbed to the
influences of the money kings, be-
trayed their constituents, aud lost all
sense of honor or patriotism, for the
people to even get relief at their hands.
The following from the Idaho States
man of Dec. 18th states the facts about
the manner of the reception of the pres
ident's message:
The valedictory of President Roose
Welt was to congress a bore; to the
people of this country it WIS an inspira
tion. In years to come, when the per-
sonnet Of the Law making body of the
United States has been altered, through
the kindly Intervention of the inevita-
BILE, those who have succeeded will re-
late how the people, responsive to
call to action thrice repeated, rose ia

president Roosevelt knew congress
would give him scant attention. He
knew his race was run. He knew his
friends on the hill' would welcome the
opportunity to show their joy over the
early coming of escape from his insis-
tency and his repetitious preaching.
''Mr. Roosevelt did not write his mes
sage for them, becauge he knew it would
there assail chiefly unwilling Of deaf
ears. He wrote it for the country, for
history, for posterity. He wanted to
complete the record, to show that to
the last his brain and hand, his ener-
gies, his mastery of the details of our
complex government, his desire always
for better and higher things, were as
keen as ever
"Whatever the congress is or may be
in its inertia, its lack of sympathetic
leadership, its inevitable heavy hang
ing back instead of moving progress
svely forward, this man who has dom
mated the affairs of great nation for
seven years wished to vindicate his
character and hit leadership. AS re-
former and doer, he came into public
life, az rtformer and preacher he goes
out. His message is addressed to con-
gress; lie urges congress to action; but
in reality il is an appeal from congress
to the country for Justification. And
there cannot be much doubt that the
country will give him verdict of well
done, good and faithful servant
In all his career it is doubtful if MIR
Roosevelt ever appeared to better adj
vantage than in his message of today,

ity, his versatility shine forth i'll every
paragraph of the long state paper. He
advocates so macy reforms that mere

A Beetle Story.

A beetle weighing two grains Is able
to move a weight OF FIVE and one-half
ounces, or 1920 times its own weight.
A man weighing l50 pounds. IL pro-
portionately strong. could thus move
$4,000 pounds. or nearly a hundred
tons. Some years ago ! captured a
very handsome beetle and placed II
under a beaker-a thin tumbler used
in chemical analysis-on a shelf OF my
laboratory 4 few hours after the
beetle had disappeared very mysteri-
ously. the beaker remaining inverted.
He was recaptured and again placed
under the beaker. I watched the re-
suit and presently found that the
beetle walked the tumbler along the
shelf till II reached the edge, then
crept out and fell as soon as the over
hang was sufficient to afford room for
escape.-W. Mattieu Williams in the
Gentleman's Magazine.
