SESSION.

Rome, Jan. 8.-The chamber of dep

day to consider the adoption Of meas

Marcoda arose to address the cham

bling voice and visible emotion he de-

all felt. He expressed gratitude for
the sympathy that has been sent the
victims He also voiced the gratitude
toward Queen Helena. References to
her majesty was greeted with ap-

railroads have not experienced great
difficulty, though in some sections
the tracks are kept clear only with
infinite effort. Trains generally are
delayed to some extent but so far the

There Is some apprehension that

Can't Deliver Coal.

Seattle, Jan. S.-The most serious
situation as a result of the cold snap
is the inability of fuel dealers to de-
liver wood and coal. The supply is
sufficient. but there is not enough
teams to fill the orders. The contin-
ued cold weather finds dealers un-
prepared and swamped with work.
Public schools are open today and all
street cars are operating, the only diff
ficulty being a few derailments ow-
ing to ice. The minimum temperature
was IA above at 4 O'Clock this morn
ing. This is the coolest of the season.
The local weather bureau does not
hope for change before Sunday. More
snow is predicted tonight. The aver
age depth now Is about eight inches.

STATE IS SCOURGED
BY STORM KING
WORST BLIZZARD SINCE 1881
HOLDS WESTERN MONTANA
IN COLD GRASP.

What is admitted to be the worst
storm since 1887 continued to sweep
western Montana yesterday and Mis-
soula came in for her share of the
general discomfort caused by the un-
usual strenuosity Of the weather. Dur
ing the day 10 inches of snow fell in
this city, bringing the total up to 25
inches, a record that has not been ex-
celled for two decades. This figure is
based on the observations taken at the
local station of the government wea-
ther bureau and does not include the
snow that has fallen since 6 o'clock
last night and is still falling at an
early hour this morning.
Last night Northern Pacific officials
announced that the storm was moder-
ating on the west end of the Rocky
Mountain division, but that fierce
nor'easter was blowing between Mis-
soula and Garrison. At Garrison the
temperature was reported at 38 be-
low zero. Yesterdays North Coast
limited is due at 6 O'Clock this morn
ing, while Thursdays No. is stalled
at Nagos. There was more or less
trouble all day but things were run
ming fairly we'll last night.
The Weather Observations.
The University of Montana must be
a frightfully frigid place. The United
States weather observatory is located
on the grounds Of the state school and
the observations taken yesterday
showed that / degree below zero was
the highest point registered by the
thermometer. AS a general rule the
two for a nickle thermometers that
everybody owns are not nearly so con-
servative as the instruments that Un-
Gle Sam puts out, but yesterday the
weather gauge on the former said that
1t was warmer than zero on several oc-
casions during the day. while the gov
ernment instrument maintained that
it was not All Of this would seem to

was no one over us. Then the gentle
man from Kentucky said, notwith-
standing the views of the gentleman
from New York, the private conduct
of a member of congress had once
been investigated by secret service
men, but the gentleman from New
York denied even this one and soli-
tary instance, and stated that the in
vestigation in the case referred to had
not been by a member of the secret
service, but by a police officer of
Washington.
Secret Sins.
I'VE do not think that even the most
timerous of congressman could have
been induced by these arguments to
vote in favor Of the amendment from
fear that if he voted mo- the secret
service might ferret out his secret
sins.
Nor does 1t seem that statements
made in 1904, even by newspaper
reporter, are convincing evidence of
the motive which actuated congress-
men in their votes in 1908. The state
ments made in newspapers are some
times questioned even at the White
House.
The statement contained in the
message that the chief argument in
favor of the provision was that the
congressman did not themselves wish
to be investigated, can have but one
meaning. 1t means that congress
voted for the measure from an i'm
proper motive. Any congressman
whose vote can be determined by un-
willingness to have his own conduct
investigated by secret service men, or
by any other men, must sincerely be
in fear of the law. If it was believed
that majority of this body were in
fear that their acts might be inves-
tigated and their crime discovered,
the respect of the people, which it is
important for the country that the
congress should possess. would be i'm
paired, if not destroyed.

Dangerous to Republic.


that large portion of our people
should have their confidence shaken in
the judges who interpret the laws:
equally dangerous that their conf
dence should be impaired In those who
enact the laws, and it is for this rea-
son that the duty evolves upon the
lawmakers not to allow the integrity
of their motives to be lightly ques-
toned. We may he sure that no leg
islative body will be respected by the
people unless 1t respects itself. We
are jealous of the honor of the nation;
we should be equally jealous of the
honor of our institutions.
Doubtless In the congress are
sometimes found unfit and dishonest
men, but believe that with few ex-
ceptions the body is composed Of men
of integrity, whose vote is determined
not by fear of the police, but by an
honest reward for the public service.
If time should ever come when a
majority of the chosen representa-
tives of the American people were so
unfit for their trust, that their votes
were controlled by craven fear of
surely the republic will have come
upon evil days and the failure Of pop
ular government will be demonstrated.
Double impeachment.
THE people of this country have
sent their representatives to the con-
gress. Many of Them for long years
have been reelected at the polls or
by the legislatures. We do not be-
lieve that popular government and
universal suffrage are such lament
able features that dishonest, cowardly
or unfit men are chosen to continue in
office. In this matter we stand not
only for ourselves, but for those who
sent use here. The Impeachment of
those who are chosen is the impeach-
ment of those who choose.
The president says that no one
holds the dignity of the congress of
the United States in higher regard
that he does. 1t would, therefore, be
thing to be deplored, as a result of
any unfortunate inadvertence of Ian
guage, say ontoward combination OF
words, expressions should remain in
his message which might be inter-
preted by the people as lessening the
dignity and thereby weakening author
