Mr.. DENNY ASSAILS
PRESIDENTS ACTION

M Perkins then gave the right Of the
floor 10 Representative DENLY, who said
I'VE are confronted this morning with
the most painful duty that has fallen
70 the lot q this House since
have been a member. The resolution
presented here to-day seems 70 be as
simple and as little offensive IN its terms
as the English language and the Just de-
mands Of this occasion viii permit. Per
sonally. have not the slightest desire
that this House shall show resentment
toward the President for his apparent pur-
pose 10 arouse in the public mind con-
tempt and suspicion for this body. Still
less do I desire that this House shall
reply in kind 10 the language Of the mes
sage.
Now that the whole painful episode
nears its end. I nav say that the most
distressing feature is that the President
OF the United States, justly honOred and
beloved as he IS throughout the land,
should so little appreciate the effect OF Lis
Own words, and should apparently 50
little consider his own great fame.
1t seems scarcely credible that he can
have failed 10 realize that in encoUrag-
ing in the popular mind distrIIst Of this
body. he is striking az the very foUnd2-
ton Of popular government 1 am glad
10 believe that had another Official o-
high authority and great position Ven-
tured 10 employ the language he has
used. the President would have been the
first 10 depiOre and 10 rebuke-
He has lest q great oportUnity-an
oportunIty TO display the possession OF
one great attribute of true greatness
the capacity 70 realize when he hss
done injustice and the willingness 10
correct that mistake"
Bennet Defends President.
REPRESENTATIVE Bennet, defending the
President. declared that Congress was
taking 4 step that would later bring re-
gret not only 70 the members forcing Il,
but to the whole Of Congress and the
nation. He insisted he believed the
President meant no offense TO Congress
in the first place. and declared that if
he had insulted the members, he had
made amends for It IN his message Of
explanation
It am of the opinion that Congress is
acting wrong declared Mr.. Bennett IF
action were needed, there Is no man in
the House who would more willingly as
sist in the movement than myself
have studied the message closely, and
am unable 10 find one point which 1 can
construe as an insult TO Congress or 10
the members OF the Appropriations Com
mittee. His second message is an apollo
getic explanation"
Mr. Bennett then recited the work done
by the Secret Service during the admin
istratiOn Of the President, and dealt espe-
cially with the land fraud and lottery
cases. He also told Of the work done in
Southern New York. and insisted that
the President @as right in saying the
duties OF the nations detectives should
not be Curtailed.
M Bennett was followed by Repre-
sentative Townsend, a member OF the
special committee that recommended the
tabling Of the paragraphs IN the Presi-
dents message Mr.. Townsend spoke
very briefly. and simply told OF the ac-
tions Of the committee.

'Tnsieal OF such a response. however.
the President has declared that the Ian
guage Used by him does not mean wnat
It plainly SAYS, and an effort Is made
10 change the issue existing between the
House and the Executive.
In my reading Of history. / recall no
instance where a government periShed be-
cause OF the absence Of a secret service
force. but many there are that perished
as a result Of the spy system. II Anglo
Saxon civilization stands for anything. II
is for a government where the hUmbIesl
citizen is safeguarded against the secret
activities Ot the executive OF the govern
meut. II stands as q protest against q
government Of men and for a government
CT law.
The history Of England from its be-
gining until now is q history OF rights
regarding the freedom Of the individual
from the tyranny Of the Crown, secured
and sealed in the blood OF its patriots.
From a government built solely on brute
force, II evolved into q government where
the executive power was pTedicated on
divine right; from that 20 a government
resting upon the tyranny Of law, despOt-
icsIy enacted and enforced, and out Of
that % government resting upon laws
expressive of the viii Of the people, and
honestly and openly enforced"
Mr. Smith Speaks
Representative Smith, Of Iowa. in de-
Tending his actions as a member Of the
Appropriations Committee. said:
Never again, If I can prevent It,
shall the old system OF law defiance and
law evasion: the system of broken oaths
Of Office. of Illegal expenditure OF money
appropriated. or padded accounts. Of false
certificates. Of the constant commission
Of felonies by public officers. Of simple
lying. and of regeneration be restored
70 the public service
The question is not whether We should
have q detective force in the Department
OF Justice. a thing which so far as I
can recollect has never been advised BY
the President until his message OF Janu-
airy 4, 1863 That IS very proper sub
ject fer the consideration Of Congress.
and in advising it, the President is Ger
tainly within his right"
He then said the question was whether
Congress was subject TO Just criticism
for destroying at its last session the
system that had grown UP Of using the
Treasury Department agents, supposed
TO detect only counterfeiters. for miscel-
laneous purposes in violation Of law.

Judge Smith said he was wholly at a
loss to know why the Attorney General
does not now have authority to create.
as the President has lately recommend
ed. a detective force in the Department
Of Justice under the appropriation for
the prevention Of crime. which last ses-
sion was increased from $4,000 10
100000.
From this Judge Smith proceeded TO
show that a system OF giving untrue

grown up under the system whereby
