raised the presumption that it could
not all have been expended properly.
About the most interesting thing
that has happened thus far in the in
quiry is the appearance of former
Representative Charles E. Littlefeld
of Maine as counsel for Senator
Stephenson, and his argument before
the committee at the outset of the in
quiry that it should not probe into
the primary, but confne itself entirely
to the legal election-that is, to the
steps whereby Mr.. Stephenson was
made Senator after the nomination.
Mr.. Littlefield tried to make it appear
the committee had no business to probe
into the methods whereby the homina-
ton was made.
Fortunately, the committee refused
to take this view of it. 1t held that
under the Constitution the Senate has
ample power to inquire into the fit
ness of its members to serve, and that
it had the authority as well as duty Of
investigating the charges concerning
corruption in the primary. Any other
view would have made the committee
target for just public criticism. In
fact, to have acceded to the Littlefeld
argument would have been a confession
of incompetence on the part of the
committee that would not have been
less than ridiculous. 1t would have
made the whole proceeding a farce.
The country saw enough resort to
quibblings and technicalities and eva
sions in the first Lorimer investiga-
ton. 1t is in no temper to stand any
thing of the kind in the Wisconsin
case. The effort of Mr.. Littlefield to
shield his client from an investigation
into the primary has not helped Uncle

land town will be the only persons in
Maryland or Virginia entitled to the
privilege of a car ride into and through
the District Of Columbia by the pay
ment of single scent fare. I do not
understandSwhy Takoma should be so
favored over nearby towns In Virginia,
along the Alexandria and Falls Church
lines, or in nearby towns in MARYLAND,
along the Glen Echo, Rockville, Chevy
Chase, Forest Glen, and Riverdale lines
Those outsiders have to pay a fare
for the ride in their own State as well
as one for the ride IN the District Of
Columbia The residents of Somerset
Heights and vicinity in Maryland on
the Rockville line are now fighting
against the imposition of the separate
fare for the short ride in Maryland. To
my mind the case of Takon1a, Nd, Is
weakened by the fact that its inhabi-
tants already may ride to any point
within the limits of the District for a
single fare. simply by using the existing
line from Takoma, d. c., which town
Is separated from its Maryland name

SYMPATHIZES WITH TURKS
IN PRESENT WAR
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
1 have heard hundreds of Americans
discussing the Turko-Italian war and
almost without exception the speakers
sympathized with the Turks and wished
them success. And why not? This is a
black hand war. war which gives ma
tional approval to black hand ethics.
The cross against the crescent cannot
be used as a cry in a war like this.
People prefer genuine Mohammedanism
to sham Christianity.
This war springs from the spirit of
greed and grab that breeds trusts. The
plain people of Italy, who are protesting
against this blackguard war, know
that the same spirit Of greed which
now calls for the robbery of Turkey
will. If unchecked, be soon employed
in robbing Italy.
The great powers should, and prob
ably will. intervene to stop this outrage
which threatens the peace and pros
perity of all Europe and the prosperity
of all nations.
INTERVENTION.
The Washington times., 1911-10-04

popularity, we, country of one hun
dred millions of people, have been
placed in pitiabiy humiliating silva
ton by the little nation at the north
of us.
Reciprocity with Canada would not
be fair and straight with our agricul-
tural interests. If protection means
anything worth while, it means the
protection of the other fellows inter
ests as well as our own. The whole
scheme of protection is a mutual one
to the very core. 1t can be nothing
else within the scope of one nation.
Reciprocity, as resulting in cheaper
food, might well please, the manufac-
turers and manufacturing communities
of New England, but how about our
farmers, who represent far and away
the largest industry, and most valuable
industry, of the whole countryH If
these farmers vote for protection for
the manufacturers of New England
and of other sections of the country,
they, in turn, should have the vote of
the manufacturers for their protection.
There is no decency, no honesty, nc
fair play in any other course.
This country needs today more good
straight, red-blooded protectionists
who are not ashamed to stand for pro-
lection for our labor and protection
of our markets.
With protection should go proper
governmental regulation to make sure
that our people are not overtaxed by
greedy capital or monopolistic concerns,
be they private or corporate. This
does not mean the dissolution or de-
struction of capital, but its regulation.
The Democratic party, as always, is
opposed to the protection policies Of
the Republican party, and the Repub-
lican party, under its present leader
ship, is in an apologetic state toward
its own tariff laws-a pitiable spec
tacle.
So the Boston journal is for Froth-
ingham for governor, and it hopes that
as governor he will galvanize the party
of protection into something of its
old-time vigor, its old-time pride, and
its old-time defiant courage
Foss' stock in trade, reciprocity, is a
shop-worn product, not good enough for
the American workman or the Ameri-
can citizen. 1t would better be ex-
ported to Europe, where the peasants,
in their shabby poverty, would grab at
it as a regal garment.

Large Audience at First
Appearance of New
Musical Comedy.
DEALS WITH
TRIPLE LOVE AFFAIR
Complicated Situations and Tune
full Numbers Prove En-
tertaining.

A Washington "first night" fairly
throbs with possibilities, as those VINO
saw the first presentation on any
stage last night of 1.-THE Three Ro-
meos" can testify. This charming
little musical comedy, as dainty and
sparkling as any that has been pre-
sented for several seasons, held the
attention of the audience last evening
from the rise Of the curtain to its de-
scent upon the final scene.
1t is an interesting plot. and the
singers and actors in the play do their
work with that intelligence and dis
elimination that makes for perfection
IN spite Of the fact that THE Three
Romeos" is still in the swaddling
clothes period OF its existence.
The play deals with the complicated
love AFFAIRS Of three young men-the
three Romeos'' Of the piece-and an
equal number Of beautiful young wom-
en- and even without the lifting music
which makes ones feet pat in sympa-
tny with its rhyme and rhythm II would

SITUATIONS that are given in such good
measure. The curtain goes up on a
beautiful chorus of young school girls,
ana when the word beautiful" is en-
ployed it Is used advisedly. Every girl
In this capped and gowned chorus is
young and fresh-faced and pretty.
Their teacher, Miss Minerva Poppei-
ton, having been called away to
Washington to participate In a suffra-
gette convention, the girls of the school
on the principle of when the CATS
away the mice will play" arrange to
trap Peter Poppleton, the head master
and brother Of the schvoimistress. whom
they know to be something of a
sport, by wiring for Gussie Gibson. An
actress with whom they know he has
hirted, and inviting her to the school
for luncheon.
Gussie arrives with a dozen otber
show girls. followed by her divorced
husband. who still loves her. though
he does not realize this until the end
OF the third act. and after all sorts of
complications, which furnish the rea-
son for the play, have occurred, Jack
Wiiloughby and the divorced husband
ana Titus Bellamy, father of the girl
10 whom Jack is engaged, launch a
series OF situations In which PoppIeton's .
nephew and every other person in the
play is soon involved.

play is hard TO follow, but this does
not matter, for there are so many other
things to think about tnar one loses
sight OF the plot until another compli-
cation arises, which the Three
Romeos," full of resources, manage to
explain away in some manner.
But most of all IS this Three

was almost tempted to believe that It
was attending some fall opening in
