HOUSE LAUGHS
AT MESSAGE
PRESIDENTS COMMUNICATION IN
REGARD TO SECRET SER
VICE OPENLY oGRioEp.
eR|GCS OFFERS sNUB
MESSAGE FINALLY REFERREo TO
PREVIOUSLY APPOINTED
SPECIAL COMMITTEE.

Observation-Disclosures message from
the President was laughed at in the
house today.
Some of the members were openly
deris,ye as the communication on the
secret service was read, and as
GROWING snub Representative Griggs
OF Georgia moved as an amendment
thai the message be returned to the
Pre- sidcnt.
The message. which had been await
ed with much interest. was reply to
the houses resolution calling on the
executive to explain the intimatiOn in
his annual message that members of
Congress were afraid to be investigat-
ed By the secret service. The galleries
were packed.
Promptly at noon Latta, one Of the
Presidents secretaries, was at the
main door of the chamber bearing the
message which was read as soon as
the Italian relief measure was put
through.
The Presidents specific reference to
certain speeches by Tawney. Minneso
Ia; Smith. Iowa; Sherley. Kentucky.
and Fitzgerald. New York, when the
provision for the restriction of the op-
erations of the secret service was up
for discussion and also to Busby. the
speakers private secretary, caused a
storm Of laughter. The speaker sew
eral times vigorously raped for order.
In commenting on the Presidents
reference to him in the message, Busby
said:
81 am an employe of the House of
Representatives. 1t would not be ap.
propriate for me in any way to make
any comment on the matter now before
the house. | will say. however, that
the article quoting the Chicago Inter-
Ocean in the Presidents message, was
prepared in the regular course of work
as newspaper correspondent when
was the representative of the Inter
Ocean.

stories written in the summer and
early fall of 1903 subject to the EDITORS

ago,

nor was any member of Congress con-
suited about 1t. No opinion OF any
member was embodied in it, and no
one Ia in the slightest degree respons-
ible for it except the editor of the
Inter Ocean and myself. | doubt If a
dozen members of Congress ever saw
the article or heard of it until today"
As the reading of the message pro-
ceeded many of the members chuck
led, others laughed outright, while
some were prone to joke with their
neighbors.
When the reading ended Perkins OF
New York, chairman of the special
committee which originally considered
the matter, moved that the message
be referred to that committee.
rs an amendment in order to that
motion?" inquired Grisgs of Georgia
in deliberate voice.
ut is," replied the speaker.
Then" said Griggs. II move that
this message be returned to the Presi-
dent"
"Oh, no." shouted several of Grigss
Democratic colleagues.
Perkins insisted that the message
should 70 to the special committee and
in the meantime Griggs withdrew his
motion, saying he took that action at
the request of his party leaders. The
message was referred as he requested.

WHAT RUSSIA OWES THE JEWS,
BY edwin A. NYE.
Copyrights. 1850. by American Press
Association.


Almost every day the cables tell Of
some new atrocity in the Jewish prov
inces Of Russia.
1t would seem that Russia does not
want the world to forget the slaughter
houses of Bessarabia and the massa-
cres of Kishinev, at which the world
revolted
Ignorance, race hatred and religious
prejudice are responsible for the age
long cruelties indicted upon the He
brew race in Russia.
Scratch a Russian and find Tar
tar seems true saying. The scratch
ed Russians, transformed into Tartars,
are still going back 1000 years to pun
ish the Jews for the crucidxion OF
Christ!
No man Of letters has deeper voiced
the challenge OF civilization to Russia
because of It's persecution OF the Jew
than Joaquin Miller. ''the poet Of the
Sierras"
Recently 1 ran across his poem en-
titled Russia" These are really great
lines and worthy of preservation:
Who tanned your Iawsess Tartar bloOdf
What David bearded In her den
I The Russian bear In ages when
You strobe your black. rnhrfdled stud,
A skin cad savage OF Ecur s4eppeg?
Why one who now walls oVt to- you
The Jew, the Jew, the homeless 1ewl
Who girt the, thews of your young prime
And bound your fierce, divided force?
Why, who but Moses shaped your
course,
| United. domsn1 the. grooves of timer
Your mighty fnalIious all today
The hated hcpneIess Jew obey.
Who taught, all poetry to you?
| The Jew, the Jew, the hated Jew.
Who, taught you tender Bible tales
Of-honey lands, of milk and wine,
| OF happy. peaceful Palestine.
OF Jordan's holy harvest wales?
Who gave stheypatient Christ? Lsay,
Who gave your Christian creed7 Yea
yea,
Who gave your very God to your
Your Jew. your Jew. your hated Jew.
And this reproof from an American
poet is fit companion piece for the pas
sionate plea Of Shylock:
Hath not Jew eyes? Hathrnot Jew

lions. possessions, fed with Tho ganae food
hurt by the same weapons, subJsct to tn,
same diseases healed by the same srnaans
warmed and cooled by the same white
and summer, as the Christian is?
The blood OF the slaughtered Jew
cries aloud from Russian ground.
