!BIG STICK SMASH ROOSEVELT DEFE. - .*»? ; n Message to House President De­ clares His Statements in Previous Words to Congress Were Cross­ ly Misunderstood. [ Washington. -- President Roosevelt'® •tick crashed down upon the *fcea<3s of Representatives Tawney of nnesota. Smith of Iowa, Sherley of .Kentucky, and Fitsgeiald of New York, 'Irheu the executive sent a. special message the house of representatives, berating use solons for being champions of the uccessful move to place limitations upon scope of the secret service. The president also declared that the terpretatSon of tho house of the secret rvSce clause in hia last message was !s«nierstona, anJ had there been any vidence which would point to the nece«- Ity of an investigation of members, such vidence would long ago have been turned f ;^ver to the proper authorities. J > The message was in answer to the res- ^ilutlon transmitted from the house in .. vhlch the representatives asked for evi­ dence upon which Mr. Roosevelt based liS statements that the "chief argument In favor of the provision was that the fongrressmen did not themselves wish to fre investigated by secret service men," RMaaage of tha President and Reason* Thorotor. The message It part: "To the House of Representatives: I have received the resolution of the house of representatives of December 17, 1908, running as follows: " 'Whereas, there was contained In the •undry civil appropriation bill which passed congress at its last session and be­ came a law, a provision in reference to tiie employment of the secret service tn the treasury department; and " 'Whereas, In the last annual message Of the president of the United States to the two houses of congress it was stated ift reference to that provision: "It Is not tpo much to say that this amendment has been of benefit only, and could be of ben­ efit only, to the criminal classes," and It was further stated; "The chief argument In favor of the provision was that the congressmen did not themselves wish to be Investigated by secret service men," And it v.'fis further stated: "But if this is not considered desirable a special excep­ tion could be made in the law, prohib­ iting the use of the secret service force 111 Investigating members of congress. It Would be far better to do this than to do what actually was done, and strive to jjrevent or at least to hamper effective action against criminals by the executive branch of the government;" and " 'Whereas, the plain meaning of his words Is that the majority of the con­ gressmen were in fear of being investi­ gated by secret service men and that con­ gress as a whole was actuated by that notlve in enacting the provision in Ques­ tion. Now, therefore, " 'Be it Resolved, That the president be requested to transmit to the house any evidence upon which he based his state­ ments that the 'chief argument In favor Of the provision was that the congress­ men did not themselves wish to be in­ vestigated by secret, service men,' and also to transmit to the house any evi­ dence connecting any member of the bouse of representatives of the Sixtieth Congress with corrupt action in his official capacity, and to Inform the house wheth­ er he has instituted proceedings for the punishment of any such individual by the courts or has reported any such alleged delinquencies to the house of represent­ atives.' Cannot Understand Trend of # tho House Resolution. "I am wholly at a loss to understand fie concluding portion of the resolution. S have made no charges qf corruption against congress nor against any member of the present house. If I had proof of such corruption affecting any member of the house in any matter as to which the federal government has jurisdiction, ac­ tion would at once be brought, as was done in the cases of Senators Mitchell and Burton, and Representatives William- eon, Herrmann and Driggs, at different times since I have been president. Tnis Would simply be doing my duty in the execution and enforcement of the laws without respect to persons. But I do not regard it as within the province or the dtities of the president to report to the house 'alleged delinquencies' of members, or the supposed 'corrupt action' of> a member 'in his official capacity.' The membership of the house is by the con­ stitution placed within the power of the bouse alone. In the prosecution of crim­ inals and the enforcement of the laws tae president must resort to the courts Of the United States. "In the third and fourth clauses of the preamble It is stated that the meaning of my words Is that 'the majority of the congressmen are In fear of being inves­ tigated by secret service men' and that •congress as a whole was actuated by that motive in enacting the provision in question,' and that this is an Impeach­ ment of the "honor and integrity of the Congress. These statements are not I think in accordance with the facts. Declare* Ho Said Nothing to Warrant the Statement. **A careful reading of t>is message will Show that I said nothing to warrant the statement that 'the majority of the con­ gressmen were In fear of being investi­ gated by the secret service men,' or 'that congress as a whole was actuated by that motive.' I did not make any such state­ ment in this message. Moreover I have •ever made any such statement about „ congress as a whole, nor, with a few in- ovitable exceptions, about the members of congress, in any message or article or speech. On the contrary I have always not only deprecated but vigorously re­ lented the practice of Indiscriminate at­ tack upon congress, and indiscriminate condemnation of all congressmen, wise and unwise, fit and unfit, good and bad alike. No one realizes mo*e than I the Importance of co-operation between the executive and congress, and no one holds the authority and dignity of the congress of the United States in higher respect than I do. I have not the slightest sym­ pathy with the practice of Judging men, for good or for ill, not on their several merits, but in a mass, as members of one particular body or one caste. To put together all men holding or who have held a particular office, whether it be the office of president, or Judge, or sena­ tor, or member of the house of represent­ atives, and to class them all, without re­ gard to their individual differences, as good or bad, seems to me utterly inde­ fensible; and It is equally indefensible whether the good are fonfounCed with the bad In a heated and unwarranted cham­ pionship of all, or In a heated and un­ warranted assault upon alL Charge in Resolution Due to Density of tho Solon*. This allegation in the resolution, there­ fore, must certainly be due to an entire failure to understand my message. "The resolution captnuea: That the president be requested o transmit to the house any evidence upon which he based his statements that th* 'chief argument Id favor of the proviso** that > the congressmen did not tiemaelves wish to be investigated by se'iet-eervice men,' This statement, whirl was an attack upon no one, still less .ipon the congress, is sustained by the facts. "If you win turn to the Congressional Record for May 1 last pagps 5563 to 6$60, inclusive, you will find the debate on this subject. Mr. Tawuey of Minnesota, Mr. Smith of Iowa, Mr. S&erJey of Kentucky, and Mr. Fitzgerald of New York, appear in this debate as the special champions of the provision referred to. Messrs. Par­ sons, Bennet and Drtecoll were the lead­ ers of those who opposed the adoption of the amendment and upheld the right of the government to tis» the most efficient means possible In orcer to detect crim­ inals and to prevent and punish crime. The amendment was carried in the com­ mittee of the whole, where no votes of the individual members are recorded, so I am unable to discriminate by mention­ ing the members who voted for and the members who voted agi'nst the provision, but Its passage, the Journal records, was greeted with applause. I am well aware, however, that in any case of this kind many embers who have no particular knowledge of the point at Issue, are con­ tent simply to follow the lead of the committee which had considered the mat­ ter, and I have no doubt that many mem­ bers of the house simply followed the lead of Messrs. Tawney and Smith, with­ out having had the opportunity to know very much as to the rights and wrongs of the question. Chip I* Knocked Off Roosevelt'* Shoulder. "1 would not ordinarily attempt In this way to discriminate between members of the house, but as objection has bee* ta­ ken to my language, in which I simply spoke of the action af the house as a whole, and as apparently there is a de­ sire that I should thus discriminate, I will state that I think the responsibility rest­ ed on the committee on appropriations, under the lead of the members whom I have mentioned. "Now as to the request of the congress that I give the evidence for my state­ ment that the chief argument In favor of. the provision was that the congress­ men did not themselves wish to.be Inves­ tigated by secret service men. "The part of the Congressional Record to which I have referred above entirely supports this statement. Two distinct lines of argument were followed in the debate. One concerned the question whether the law warranted the employ­ ment of the secret service in departments other than the treasury, and this did not touch the merits of the service in the least. The other line of argument went to the merits of the service, whether law­ fully or unlawfully employed, and here the chief if not the only argument used was that the service should be cut down and restricted because its members had 'shadowed' or investigated members of congress and othec officers of the govern­ ment. If we examine the debate in de­ tail it appears that moat of what was urged in favor of the amendment took the form of the simple statement that the committee held that there had been a •violation of law* by the use of the secret service for other purposes than suppress­ ing counterfeiting (and one or two other matters which can be disregarded), and that such language was now to be used as would effectually prevent all such Vio­ lation of law' hereafter. Mr. Tawney, for instance, says: 'It was for the purpose of stopping th# use of this service In every possible way by the departments of the government that this provision Was Inserted'; and Mr. 8mlth says: 'Now, that was the only way in which any limitation cOuld be put upon the activities of the secret service.' Mr. Fitzgerald followed in the same vein, and by far the largest part of the argument against the employ­ ment of the secret service was confined to the statement that it was in 'violation of law.' Of course, such a statement Is not In any way an argument in favor of the justice of the provision. It Is not an argument for the provision at alL It is simply a statement of what the gentle­ men making It conceive to have been the law. Regarding Restriction* of the 8*cret Service. "There was both by Implication and di­ rect statement the assertion that it was the law, and ought to be the law, that the secret service should only be used to suppress counterfeiting; and that the law should be mado more rigid than ever In this respect. "Incidentally I may say that in my judgment there Is ample legal authority for the statement that this appropriation law to which reference was made im­ poses no restrictions whatever upon the use of the secret service men, but re­ lates solely to the expenditure of the money appropriated. Mr. Tawney in the debate stated that he had In his pos­ session 'a letter from the secretary of the treasury received a few days ago' in which the secretary of the treasury 'him­ self adqiits that the provisions under which the appropriation has been made have been violated year after year for a number of years in his own department.* I append herewith as appendix A, the let­ ter referred to. It makes no such admis­ sion as that which Mr. Tawney alleges. It contains on the contrary, as you will see by reading it, an 'emphatic protest against any such abridgment of the rights delegated to the secretary of the treasury by existing law,' and concludes by asserting that he 'Is quite within his rights In thus employing the service of these agents' and that the proposed modi­ fication which Mr. Tawney succeeded in carrying through would be 'distinctly to the advantage of violators of criminal statutes of the United States.' I call at­ tention to the fact that In this letter of Secretary Cortelyou to Mr. Tawney, as in my letter to the speaker quoted be­ low, the explicit statement is made that the proposed change will be for the bene­ fit of the criminals, a statement which I simply reiterated in public form in my message to the congress this year, and which Is also contained In effect in the report of the secretary of the treasury to the congress. "A careful reading of the Congression­ al Record will also show that practically the only arguments advanced in favor of the limitation proposed by Mr. Tawney's committee, beyond what may be supposed to be contained by implication In cer­ tain sentences as to 'abuses' which were not specified, were those contained in the repeated statements of Mr. Sherley. ""Mr. Sherfey stated that there had been "pronounced abuses growing out of the use of the secret service for purposes other than those intended,' putting his statement in the form of a question, and in the same form further stated that the 'private conduct' of 'members of congress, senators,* and others ought not to be in­ vestigated by the secret service, arid that they should not investigate a "member of congress' who had been accused of 'con* duct unbecoming a gentleman and a member of congress.' In addition to these assertions couched as questions, he made one positive declaration, that 'This secret service at one time was used for the pur­ pose of looking nito the personal con­ duct of a member of congress.' This ar­ gument of Mr. Sherley, the only real ar­ gument as to the merits of the question made on behalf of the committee on ap­ propriations, will be found In columns 1 and 2 of page 5656, and column 1 of page 5567 of the Congressional Record. In col­ umn 1 of page 5656 Mr, Sherley refers to the Impropriety of permitting the secret service men to Investigate men In the departments, officers of the Army and navy and members of congress; In col­ umn 1, page 5557, he refers only to mem­ bers of congress. His speech puts most weight on the investigation of members of congress. "What appears in the record Is filled out and explained by an article which ap­ peared In the Chicago Inter-Ocean of January 8, 1P04, under a Washington headline, and which marked the begin­ ning of this agitation against the secret service. It was a special article of about 3,000 words, written, as I was then In­ formed and now understand, by Mr. X*. W. Busbey, at that tfiaa private secretary to the speaker of the house. It con­ tained an utterly unwarranted attack on the secret service division of the treas­ ury department and its chief. "At the time of this publication the work of the secret service, which was thus assailed, Included especially the In­ vestigation of great land frauds In the west, and the securing of evidence to help the department of justice In the beef-trust investigations at Chicago, which resulted In successful prosecutions. Effort* to Kill Move Found to B* Unavailing. "These methods proved unavailing to prevent the wrong. Messrs. Tawney and Smith, and their fellow members on the appropriations committee paid no heed to the protests; and as the obnoxious pro­ vision was Incorporated In the sundry civil bill, it was impossible for me to con­ sider or discuss it on its merits, as I should have done had It been In a sep­ arate bill. Therefore I have now taken the only method available, that of dis­ cussing it in my message to congress; and as all efforts to secure what I regard as proper treatment of the subject without recourse to plain speaking had failed, I have spoken plainly and directly, and have set forth the facts In explicit terms. "Since 1901 the investigations covered by the secret service division--under the practice which had been for many years recognised as proper and legitimate, which had received the sanction of the highest law officers of the government- have covered a wide range of offenses against the federal law. By far the most Important of these related to th« publlo domain, as to which there was un­ covered a far-reaching and widespread system of fraudulent transactions involv­ ing both the Illegal acquisition and the illegal fencing of government land; and. In connection with both these offenses, the crimes of perjury and subornation of perjury. Some of the persons involved In these violations were of great wealth and of wide political and social Influence. Both their corporate associations and their political affiliations, ahd the lawless character of some of their, employes, made the investigations not only difficult but dangerous. In Colorado one of tba secret service men was assassinated. Instances in Which Secret Service starred. "En connection with the Nebraska prose­ cution the government has by decree se­ cured the return to the government of over a million acres of graeing land; in Colorado of more than 2,000 acres of mineral land, and suits are now pending Involving 150,000 acres more. "All these Investigations In the land cases were undertaken In consequence of Mr. Hitchcock, the then secretary of the interior, becoming convinced that there were extensive frauds committed in his department; and the ramifications of the frauds were so far-reaching that he was afraid to trust his own officials to deal in thoroughgoing fashion with them. One of the secret service men ac­ cordingly resigned and was appointed in the interior department to carry on ' this work. The first thing he discovered was that the special agents' division or corps of detectives of the land office of the interior department was largely *n- der the control of the land thieves; and Jn consequence the investigations above referred to bad to bo made by secret service men. "If the present law, for which Messrs. Tawney, Smith, and the other gentle­ men I have above mentioned are respon­ sible, had then been in effect, this ac­ tion would have been impossible, and most of the criminals would unquestion­ ably have escaped. No more striking In­ stance can be Imagined of the desirabil­ ity of having a central corps of skilled investigating agents who can at any time be assigned, if necessary in large num­ bers, to investigate some violation of the federal statutes, in no matter what branch of the public service. In this par­ ticular case most of the men Investigated who were public servants were in the executive branch of the government. But in Oregon, where an enormous acreage of fraudulently alienated public land was recovered for the government, a United States senator, Mr. Mitchell, and a mem­ ber of the lower house, Mr. Williamson, were convicted on evidence obtained by men transferred from the secret service, and*another member of congress was In­ dicted." Chief A*k» for Reversal of Action of Solon*. The president then gave a number of other Instances, all of which tend te point out the efficiency of the secret service, and he concludes: "In conclusion, I most oafnestljr ask. la the name of good government and de­ cent administration. In the name of hon­ esty and for the purpose of bringing to Justice violators of the federal laws wherever they may be found, whether is public or private life, that the action taken by the house last year be reversed. When this action was taken, the senat« committee, under the lead of the late Senator Allison, having before it s strongly-worded protest from Secretary esortelyou like that he had sent to Mr. Tawney, accepted the secretary's views; and the senate passed the bill in the shape presented by Senator Allison, tn the conference, however, the house con­ ferees Insisted on the retention of the provision they had Inserted, and the senate yielded. "TJie chief of the secret service Is paid a salary utterly Inadequate to the importance of his functions and to the admirable way in whleh he has per- formed them. I earnestly urge that it may be Increased to $6,060 per annum. I also urge that the secret service be placed where it properly belongs, and made a bureau In the department ef justice, as the chief of the secret service has repeatedly requested; but whether this is done or not, it should be ex­ plicitly provided that the secret service can be used to detect aad punish crime wherever It is found.
