Tumult Everywhere.
There is fresh tumult in Congress,
as well as in our international relations.
The President has reason to remember
and takes occasion to remind the coun-
try every few days that he has re-
fractory Congress as well as several re-
fractory western legislatures upon his
hands during this tumultuous winter.
And it also might be mentioned that
there is also fresh tumult every few
days in the Executive departments.
There, as elsewhere, the President is the
central figure in the tumuIt and the
shouting.
The old Secret Service issue, for in
stance, will not down. All the leaders
at the Capitol planked themselves upon
the lid and thought they had sufficient
avoirdupois Ito keep that troublesome
question in confinement till their spe-
ciaI committees were ready to report.
Not so. The vepgeful House committee
on appropriations got hold of Chief
Wilkie, of the Secret Service. They
called him as witness when it came
to making up the appropriations for
the Secret Service for the next fiscal
year. How they piled him with inter
rogatories! They learned from the
Chief IS lips that the restrictions i'm,
posed by Congress last year upon the
operations of the Secret Service and
which was the occasion of the Presi-
dent s denunciation Of Congress as try
ing to shield its own members, had real
~ not restricted the operations of the
Secret Service He had been able to
proceed in the distribution and employ
ment of his Secret Service sleuths about
as usual.
This year the official stenographers
are not permitted to cliff the pen, -
as it is styled, when some witness has
specially confidential information to i'm
part and does not want it to reach the
public. Everything was taken down
and printed in the big volume of testi-
mony, which was given to the public
in printed form as soon as the bill, on
which the testimony was given, had
been reported to the House. So Chief
Wilkie s words verbatim became public
property and as result the White
House issued denuuciatory statement
regarding them. But Secretary of the
Interior Garfield was also called as a
witness before the House Appropria-
tions committee. The members thereof,
some of whom had been placed in the
Ananias Club, because of their part in
the rumpus over the Secret Service,
were sitting there, anxious to question
Mr. Garfield about the special agents
of his department. He said he did not
need Secret Service men, that his own
special agents were much more efficient
all of which members of the commit
tee had heard from MIN before, but
which they had had no opportunity to
get before the public. But the testi-
mony of Mr.. Garfield was eventually
given out and that has made new
trouble for the President and his Sc
cret Service contentious.

The Census Bill.


The big fuss of the past week, how
ever, has been over veto of the census
bill 1t is the first measure of a gem
eral character that the President has
vetoed. Senators and members say he
went out of his way to denounce them
as professional politicians and to
employ sarcastic phrases at their ex-
pense. The point of the veto, of course,
was that it provides for the selection
of large numbers of additional employees
for the taking of the next census, with
out examination by the Civil Service.
That means good spoils of office for all
of the Senators and Representatives,,
because Democrats were taken care OF
in the bill which Congress sent to the
President. Now it has come to a ques-
ton whether Congress will pass the
census bill over the President s veto.
Probably Congress viii not, but it is by
no means certain yet.
In the meantime there is much run
ming to and fro and much putting of Pc.
litical heads together at the Capitol.
One Democrat has already offered in
the House resolution of inquiry as to
what appointments have been made by
President Roosevelt in violation. of the
Civil Service That is intended to en-
barrass the President for it is well
known that, while the President has
been great friend of the Civil Service
and has advanced its interests nightly,
he has surpassed all other Presidents
together in suspending its provisions in
order to gete his personal friends into
Office
The veto, if overridden at al, must
first be overridden in the House. The
Senate will act, if at all, after the
House. In the latter body there is a
canvass in progress to determine
whether the necessary two thirds ma
iority can be had 1t seems, at this
date, rather doubtful. When the bill
| taken. Members have been badly
pummeIed in their districts for not sup
porting the President IS Secret Service
propaganda. They now hesitate to
| have to go on record against the Presi-
dent on the census veto. For a veto
| can be overridden only by record
vote. Over in the Senate, where there
are probably enough votes to pass the
bill over the President veto, there
is an active organization in behalf of
| the Civil Service. Senator Lodge, of
Mass, has been organizing to make a
strong fight and probably could defer
a vote, if he could not prevent one.
It is an interesting incident of the pro
gram over there that Senator Lodge has
formed an alliance with Senator La
Toilette, the Republican radical, with
! whom he has little in common. They
are going to join forces IN trying &c
| prevent the veto from being over
ridden.

regarded at Washington as more or
