Message is Deplored
"The president says that nc one holds
the dignity of the congress OF the Uni
ted States in higher regard than ne
does. It would therefore be a thing to be
deplored if, as result of any unfortu-
nate inadvertence of language, any I'M

should remain in his message which
miaht be interpreted by the people as
lessening the dignity and thereby weak
ening the authority of the congress.

should be prosecuted II found in the leg
islative branch of the government, and
with this we wholly agree. But the pres
ident adds, IF this is not considered de-
sirable, a special exception could be made
in the law prohibiting the use of secret
service officers in investigating members
of congress. In other words. it Is sug-
gested that we pass law which Will IA
cilitate the exposure Of other criminals
but will protect ourselves. If a majority
of the congress stand in favor of the ex-
posture of their own misdeeds. they would
be ready to vote for such a law, but
such is not the case, and against it we
must protest. If congress listens tamely
and timidly to reflections upon the char

History of Congress


1.-THE congress of the United States to-
day exists as a result of centuries Of
struggle for popular government. Let
every man who is a member of 1t vote on
this question In the manner which seems
to him most worthy of the traditions Of
which we are the heirs, of the institu-
lions of which we are the protectors, and
of the people OF, whom we are the repre-
sentatiVes.r
AS was the ease when he first spoke
on the question before the holidays. Mr.
Perkins was frequently interrupted by
applause. Upon the conclusion Of his re-
marks he submitted the committee re-
pert, which, after quoting from the pres

Understanding this language to be a
rehectionen the integrity Of .itsrmembers
and aware of it's own constitutional duty
as TO it's membership, the house, in re-
spectful terms, called on gthe president
for any information that would justify
the language of the message or assist
it in its constitutional duty to purge tt
self of corruption.

President's Retraetion

"The president in his message of Janu-
airy 4 denies that the paragraph of the
annual message casts reflections on the
integrity OF the house; attributes to the
house an entire failure to understand my
message" declares that he has made no
charge of corruption against any mem
bers of this house. and by implication
states that he has no proof Of corruption
on the part of any member of this house.
whether the house, in it's resolution of
December IT., 1908, correctly, interpreted the
meaning of the words used by the presi-
dent in has annual message. or whether il
misunderstood that language as the presi-
dent implies, WIN be judged now and in
the future according to the accepted I'M
terpretations of the English language,
This house, charged only with its re-
sponsibility, to the people of the United
States and its obligation to transmit UNI
impaired to the future the representative
institutions inherited from, the past, and
to preserve its own dignity must insist
on its own capacity to understand the inn

message of December s, 1908, unjustifed,
and without basis of fact and that 1t, con-
stitutes a breach of the privileges Of the
house; therefore be 1t. Ia t1-

Ira R. Hicks, the weather maker,
did not speak in Abilene during the
chautauqua but he did speak at
many Kansas chautauquas. Mr..
Hicks states that through calculation
he has been able to make, he is led
to the firm conviction that the COM
ing winter will be an unusually cold
one.
Just now this news seems nice,
coming in the midst Of lemonade and
straws, palm leaf fans, cakes Of ice,
hammocks and aerspiration. But
within a few months the news will
break upon US in its fullness and we
will realize that chillblains, coal bills
and snow drifts aren't the finest
things ever known.
The best thing about these Hicks
and Devoe forecasts is that the
weather man pays no attention to
hem.
