operation of the secret service was only
incidental, but now 1t had become an enor-
nifty. He referred to the assination of
President Mckinley.
The only president sssassinated since the
secret service men were detailed to watch
the president" he said, twas when Presi-
dent Mckinley was shot down at Buffalo
with a secret service man by his side, who
was unable 10 observe the approaching
murderer with his bandaged hand. That
man did not even capture the murderer.
But it took a man with a black skin to
capture the assassin"
Cook Takes UP CudgeI.
Mr.. Cook Gep., Colo.) also discussed the
provision and referred to the president as
follows:
1T is unfortunate not only for President
Roosevelt, but for the citizens of the repub-
lie. that he has not a legal mind and no
equipoise Of reason, riding through and
around the arena of political action, on
his broncho of arrogant, egotistical impulse,
pretending TO throw his lariat of execution
at the heels and broad horns of capital.
for the delectation of voting labor and end
ing the scene with the cunning catch OF a
prairie wolf or a gopher"
SO denunciatory of the president was Mr..
Cook that he was denied the privilege OF
continuing his remarks after he had spoken
but a few minutes. In the main he was
addressing himself to the work of the Sc
cret service agents in Colorado in a certain
alleged land fraud case, one OF whom, he
stated, was a horse thief. The case, he
said, had come to the United States supreme
court and was unanimously decided in
favor of the defendants.
Referring to the attitude OF the president
in the matter of ferreting out fraud Mr..
Cook declared that in all OF this fuss and
feathers of the whole administration the
president and his plant attorney general
have not sent a single plutocrat to the peni-
tentiary.'
Such a keen political speculator and po-
litical and financial strenuosity,' he added,
has never been seen before in this republic
and let US fervently hope that his like shall
never be seen again. Look at the para
graphs OF his ratified messages and you will
be startled 10 see and read the ~inslnuations
and abusive phrases against the legislative
and judicial departments of the govern
ment."
Executive Called n sneak.
He declared that the liberty of the people
was being gradually and secretly stolen
by sneaking executive Entertainments and
even judicial sessions, where the freedom
OF speech and of the press are denied, is a
most outrageous injustice to the toiling
multitude"
Concluding, he said:
President Roosevelt seems to think that
he alone is the government and that his
ipse dixit must rule everybody. including
the poor and friendless black soldiers of
Brownsville, who were insulted, dismissed
and degraded without proof or trial by ex-
ecutiye order and without any warrant OF
reason or law"
President Roosevelt runs the government
on the same principle that the Beef trust
runs its sausage factory. from a personal
standpoint, using executive and iudiclal
pork as the crude material in his fantastic
administration
