Hay Prices High.

klamath Falls-Despite the fact that
the hay crop is fully up to the average
and the acreage is larger than hereto
fore, stockmen complain about excess
sive prices. Alfalfa is held at SO and
$40 in the stack. Last year the crop
was not quite up to the average and
the price ranged from 81 to $3.50. 1t
is contended by stockmen that unless
the producers sell for less money there
will be shortage in the regular num-
ber of cattle to be wintered in the Kla-

vision limiting the functions of the
secret service, it was not striking at
the president, but at custom. At
least that is the solemn assertion OF
all the members who had anything to
do with it, Representative Walter l..
Smith of Iowa, drafted the provision
and 1t was put in with the approval of
Chairman Tawney and all the mem
bers Of the appropriations committee.

larged the inspection, or espionage,

most part, 1t has done so under ex

that the congressman helped to Gre
ate so many "spies" would be expect
ed to stop their criticism, but it is
fashionable now to blame a good many
things on the president The army of
government detectives numbers all
told about 5000. Nearly all of these
men are engaged in travelling about
the country and mingling with the
8O,0C0,0O0 people outside Of Washing
ton. The list includes secret service
men, postoffice inspectors, special
agents of the land service, pure food
inspectors, meat inspectors and 9TH
ers. The talk that in some instances
secret service agents have been used
to work up damaging information
about congressman who are objection
able to the administration seems to
be without the slightest foundation.
The Grenada sentinel., 1909-01-02

THE origin Of the paragraph in the
i last sundry civil bill, restricting
the activities of the secret service,
which provoked the hot denunciation
of the president, is decidedly interest
ing. While a subcommittee was fra
ming the sundry civil bill it was
brought to the attention of the mem
bers that a secret service man had
been assigned to keep watch over the
conduct of a certain naval officer. The
application for the detail was made to
the navy department by the wife of
the officer, who was not entirely salts
fed as to the faithfulness of her
spouse The officer was not even on
duty at the time, but was away on
leave of absence.
1t occurred to members of the ap-
preparations committee that this was
the limit Of governmental espionage
and that the time had come to call a
halt. President Roosevelt, Of course,
had a secret service sleuth detailed
for such a purpose and when the sub
committee wrote and inserted a pro-

Office furniture was all standing out in
the corridor. This was too much. Of
he went to see about it. What he
found out was that there had to be a
place to put new power plant, and
his room was the only one available.
Where was he to go now? Oh. he'd
have to go over in the house Office
building until the senate office build
ing was finished.
So now, Uncle Ike, who has more
money than he knows how to spend
and who could buy himself thousand
committee rooms, is located away over
in the extreme southeastern corner
of the house Office building-Anacostia

Federal Sleuths Kept on the Jump

Originally tie secret service of the
United States had two functions and
two only. Those were the detection
of counterfeiters and the hunting
down of Illicit distillers. A good many
years ago, however, long before Mr..
Roosevelt entered public life, one or
the presidents detailed secret serv-
ice men to serve at the White House.
There was not the slightest authority
in law for such a procedure, but con-
gress had good deal Of, considera-
ton for the executive and this vio-
lation of law went on year after year.
Finally congress, seeing that the prac-
tice had become permanent and not
wishing to engage in dispute with
the executive branch, conferred the le-
gal authority necessary to enable
presidents to make such a detail.
Gradually the presidents enlarged
the practice of detailing secret serv-
ice men and sent them hither and
yonder on all sorts Of errands. Then
other administration officers-cabinet
chiefs and even bureau heads-with-
out the remotest authority in law,
called upon the secret service branch
for agents to send out on confiden-
tial missions Chief Wilkie of the
secret service was up tree, figura-
lively speaking He did not have
men enough to go around. Congress
allowed him a blanket appropriation,
but it was not large enough to hire all
of the detectives demanded.

WASHINGTON.- branch of the
w public service which its detract-
ors called 1.-The government spy sys-
tem," or 1.-The Black Cabinet" has been
brought into conspicuous prominence
by the tiff between congress and the
president, growing out of the criticism
In the presidents message of the ac-
tion of congress in circumscribing the
activities of the secret service.
The system of government es-
pionage over the private citizen has
grown in an unprecedented manner
under the administration of President
Roosevelt Whether it conduces to
the general public welfare is a matter
for publicists to discuss, but as to the
fact that the secret service has
reached greater extensions than ever
before there can be no doubt.
This extension has been brought
about by the executive branch of the
government, and it's justification, in
large degree, is that law has no
value unless it is enforced, and the
only way to enforce it is to look after
violations.
