THE SECRET SERVICE

Regardless of the merits of the diff
ferences of. opinion which exist he
tween the president and the members
Of congress over the meaning of sew
eral of the phrases in the regular
presidential message criticizing con-
gress for passing the last sundrv civil
appropriation bill with a rider which
prohibited the transfer of officers" Of
the secret service to work under tho
direction of departments other than
the one they are legally connected
with, the treasury department. there
surely can be no proper divergence Of
views among honest people over the
contentious of the president that this
country should have an adeauate se-
cret service which can be used bv anv
of the federal departments in the fer
reting out of crime of any and every
sort.
That these desirable conditions do
not now maintain under the existing
methods by which the secret service is
managed there can be no doubt. The
men employed in this work, whose
activities by the peculiar congression-
al act of a year ago are now limited
to the investigation of matters under
the supervision of the treasury de-
pa tiiAehe' nave through years OF ex-
perience become the best detectives in
the world That's the reputation they
are accorded on all Sides The argu-
ment that the treasury department is
the only one which needs the services
of these men is a ridiculous one. if in
fact, any such argument is made. The
federal department of justice, prob
ing as it has to into land, corporation
and various other kind of frauds,
needs the services of trained thief
crackers. of persons who are capable

character. This department needs the
able services of the experts in the gov
eminent employ who have been train
ed to secret service. So do other fed
era1 departments. 1t would take
years for the department of justice
and other departments to train spec
ial corps of their own to do the work
needed in an efficient way.
AS Mr.. Roosevelt points out, in his
recent special message to congress on
this subject, the government needs an
adequate secret service, most proper

reau of the department of justice.
which can be used for the purpose of
bringing to justice vioIators of the
federal laws wherever they may be
found, whether in public or in private
life. His request that congress make
provision to this end and wipe out the
legislation of last year limiting the
scope of the officers of the secret SER
vice is a most reasonable one. As he
says, it should be explicitly provided
that the secret service can be used to
detect and punish crime wherever it
is found.
OF course, a secret service such as
prevails in many foreign countries for
the espionage of public officials or any
one else in the country is decidedly
to American ideals. But
the secret service in this country has
yet to have been used in that way and
there is little chance that it ever will
be. 1t is needed, though, to detect
crimes against the government, and
should lend a hand to build
it up to the proportions of an admir-
able and efficient institution.

idle CONTROVERSIES

Controversy usually is a barren des-
ert, and this is especially SO when we
come to such topics as eternity, original
sin, heaven and hell and so on. It is
best for one to turn his attention to
love and good works, and get his doc
trine on these matters from a true and
helpful life. If man has an opinion
of his own on these subjects, no amount
of argument can convince him out of it.
And then in the nature of things. a
man cannot be sure of his own doc
trine, and so should be modest in ex-
pressing it.
So it is a sure waste of time to be
arguing about those things of which
there can be no substantial knowledge.
1t is more than time thrown away. be-
cause it is detrimental to ones own in
tellectual investment, since one learns
to regard ephemeral facts as real
truths, thus permitting disputatious
things to give tone to ones whole life.
A great deal better course is to find out
those matters upon which we can
agree. and start from there to proclaim
our faith. Many of these common
grounds that are really essential will be
found. and ones life will be sweeter and
more helpful by following them.-Ohio

FpOM OTHER PENS
UN1oNIsM NOT AN ISSUE.


Almost with one voice the press OF
The country-except that portion which
has not had the courage to speak at
all-has upheld and defended the ac-
ton of Judge Wright in the Gompers-
Mitchell Morrison contempt case. So
patent was the offense of these men
ing the supremacy of the constituted

BRYAN could not be persuaded to send
more than a half-hearted, noncomn1it-

friends who led him to such a disas-
trous defeat in November.
A few newspapers took refuge in the
stock device of the disappointed sutton
"a counter attack on somebody else.
IT was said for instance, that capital
lists have been fined. but not imprison-
ed, for violating the Sherman law. Th1s
is a wholly irrelevant observation. Com
pers and Mitchell and Morrison are not
being punished for violating any anti
trust statute, but for deliberate, pre-
neditated, open and fragrant defiance of
a mandate of the court Under similar
circums stances the courts would inf1ict
equally severe penalties upon any other
person, rich or poor.
The right of the courts to enforce
obedience to their DEGREES goes to the
very foundation of orderly government.
Take away that right and we shall be
plunged into the vortex of anarchy.

Manufacturers Association in protect
