CONGRESSMAN
COOK ON GRILL
louise Appoints Committee to In

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-The
house today by viva voce vote adop-
ted the resolution of Representative
Tawney, of Minnesota, which provides
for the appointment of select COM
mittee of five to consider the speech
of congressman Cook of Colorado, de-
liyered yesterday afternoon in the
house on President Roosevelt. The
committee is to consider the speech
with the view of having 1t expunged
from the. records as was done in the
case of Congressman Gillette OF New
York. The speech was delivered
when an appropriation for the secret
service was under consideration, and
among the other republicans besides
Cook, paying their respects to the
secret service and president was Rep
resentative Smith of Iowa Repre-
sentative Bennett of New York APP
peared as champion of the service
and the president Representative
Cook addressed his remarks with ref
erence to the work OF the secret SER
vice men in Colorado during the land
fraud cases, and stated that one of
the men was horse thief, and con-
tinuing, among other things he said:

dent and his plant attorney general

zeal speculator and political and fin
ancial strenuosity has never been
seen before in this republic, and let
us fervently hope that his like may
never be seen again. Look at the
paragraphs of his rattle messages and
you will be startled to see and read
the insinuations and abusive phrases
against the legislative and judicial
departments of the government"
Sham and ImitatOr.
President Roosevelt seems to
think he is the government, that his
ipse dixit must rule everybody. He
runs the government on the same
principle that the beef trust runs
sausage factory. from a personal
standpoint, using executive and judic-
ial pork to advance his fanatic admin
istration.
while initiating Rienzi and Crom-
well, in fooling the people. he is prac-
ticing the hypocrisy and dictatorship
of Cleon and Dionysius and has built
up a Roosevelt army and navy and
civil service, all for his personal and
political glory, supreme in his impu-
dence and vanity. arrogance and i'm
perial egotism.
at is unfortunate, not only for
President Roosevelt, but for the
country, that he has not a legal mind
and no equipoise of reason. riding
through and around the arena of po-
litical action on his bronco of arro-
CANT. egtistical impulse, pretending
to throw his lariat of execution at the
heels and broad horns of capital for
the delectation of voting labor, and
ending the scene with the cunning
catch of a prairie wolf or gopher"

TEMPLES OF ICE.
Some Wonderful Sights in the Far

splendant with jewels and endless
decorations of ice. Created by nature
in a forbiddipg wilderness. it fright

through which the glancing sun rays
sparkled on columns and cubes and
immense clusters of stalactites like
pendant jewels.
All iridescent glow, as if from
opals and diamonds, suffused the
lighter spaces and shaded into the
blush twilight which reigned in SOL
emn transepts. The painter despaired
of comprehending even the elusive
colors that emanated from every sur
face and were infinitely toned by
combination and reflection. Through
the center of the ice palace flowed a
st; cam of water, whose occasional
ripple and FLASHING fall broke the ma
jestie silence. The human voice rever-
berated weirdly against the massive
walls and the arched roof. A tone of
mystery or of giant power was repeat
