CONGRESS adjourned on Saturday.
An authorized statement from Wash
ington declares that at this session
= more beneficial legislation has been
passed than at any other since the
Civil War" Be that as it may some
things have been done. The Postal
Savings Bank system has been secured.
FedeTtl control of interstate railway
rates mas been obtained. Approval of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
before railroads advance their rates
has been made necessary. That COM
mission has been empowered to insti-
tute proceedings against Objectionable
adyancements of such rates, without
waiting for the complaints of shippers,
who would be afraid to complain at all.
A special Commerce Court with com.
plete authority over classified and
regulations and bringing telegraph and
telephone companies under the scope of
the Interstate Commerce act has been
created. Arizona and New Mexico have
been admitted as states. The policy OF
conservatism has been carried further
than before, and astanding tariff board
to ascertain the difference in the cost
of production of articles here and
abroad has been created, and properly
financed. There are many other meas
ures TO the credit of this dong session,
but most Of these others involve no
divisions on party lines. The record as
whole is creditable. Division and
passion have marked and marred the
progress to these results, but the ends
reached are cornmendable, the results
recorded win be found salutary and The
excitement they have aroused has been
educational.

An agreement has been reached be-
tween the town of Bloomfield and the
Lackawanna railroad, under which the
grade crossings on the railroad will he
removed work to begin with ninety
days. In the easterly section of the
town this will be done by depression
and 10 the westerly section it will be
by elevation, the present grade being
maintained through Glen Ridge, which
has now an overhead crossing at the
station. The situation has been met
in an amicable spirit by both parties,
and the much desired grade crossing
elimination will soon be an accom-
plished fact in Bloomfield. When the
same spirit begins to develop in Nor
ristown there may be something do
ing of the same character. In the
meantime, with 5both sides deter
mined to yield nothing, the improve
ment is indefinitely postponed.

THE Brooklyn Eagle says =
There are presidents who do things
with roar Mr.. Roosevelt was one
of them. He did not always have his
way, but he always had his roar, y
and it reyerberates yet in the recollec-
lions of men. His friends claim he
blasted way on which Mr.. Taft has
too CONSIDERABLY and gently Travelled.
Without roar and without rever-
beration, President Taft has accom-
plished more than Mr.. Roosevelt did.
Whether time enough between now
and the next election remains, to se-
cure for this fact favorable expression
at the polls, must be awaited The
democrats are hopeful that time
enough does not remain. The thwart-
ed standpatters will not be grieved
should that prove to be the case. The
people may conclude that time enough
does remain, as Mr.. Taft hopes.
