CONGRESS IN SESSION.

Mo1 ONGRESS is in session and the national election campaign
" of 1912 has begun. The general belief is that the session
will be productive of little in the way of important results.
There is small prospect of any tariff legislation. President Taft
is committed by his yetoes at the special session TO tariff bills based
only on the report of his Tariff Board. The tariff reformers in
Congress have their own data and will construct their bills on that
unless the boards figures shall prove acceptable to them, which
is quite unlikely. The tactics of the Democrats will be to send
tariff bills to Mr.. Taft that will not materially differ from the bills
he vetoed and thus put him to the alternative of signing or yetoing
them. In the one case the President would stnltify his action at the
special session. In the other he would again bring down condem-
nation upon his head. The trust question, TO be discussed In the
take precedence. 1t is probable that there will be a new alignment
on that question, as sentiment in important political quarters has
shifted. Roosevelts Outlook article has made some radical changes
of view among Mr.. Taft's strongest adherents. Nothing will be done
in respect to currency reform and the Presidents arbitration pro
gram will find no favor with the Senate. Something may be ac-
complished in the way of conservation legislation, and perhaps
the first steps will be taken to carry out the idea of national water
ways. The most probable action by Congress is the enactment OF a
parcels post bill demanded by the people. Meanwhile a number of
commissions appointed at the special session will make reports or
continue their sessions, among the latter being the House steel
trust committee and the House committee to report on increasing
the second class postal rates for magazines, which are now practi
cally subsidized by the government to the extent Of $70000000 an
sion of Congress promises to be one of sensational interest.

Commentator for barrow.

commentator LOT IbafrONs
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The accounting of the enormous Nc.
Namara defense fund is now demanded
by union labor. There is, in my mind
no doubt of the fact that the account
ing will be made by Attorney Darrow
will be properly accounted for. OAR
row should not be blamed for his
share in the huge swindle put up by
the McNamaras.
The mistake of the whole affair was
made by union labor and by the
Socialists who so readily believed the
brothers innocent. 1t is better, how
ever, to err as they did than to have
pronounced the men guilty without
giving them a fair trial first.
men will never get back into their
pockets. and that is to be regretted.
But whatever is left will surely be
handed over to the officials of the
union.
In my mind, the most pathetic figure
in the whole case is barrow. Labor
union men and h~ot-headed Socialists
do not seem to look at him as a
lawyer, but think hat he is in some
way responsible for the outrage perpe-
trated Upon organized labor. Darrow
did not want to defend the McNamaras
even when he thought they were inno-
cent, but when he did take the case 1t
was his duty to stick by his clients
until they were convicted or acquitted.
An accounting of the defense fund
should be insisted upon, but no sus-
picion should be cast on Darrow.

and a Kinney car waiting in the orde
named to cross Broad Street the Central
signal will be shown on the pole farthest
from Broad Street, the Orange signal on
the next one, and the Plank Road, the
South Orange and the Kinney signals on
the other semaphores in order. Whatever
the order Of the cars, that will be the
order of the signals.
In each case the motorman will bring
his car to a stop opposite the signal show
ing the name Of his line.
AS it is impossible, under the traffic
conditions which prevail to have the cars
of each line stop at the same point every
time the signals will be- displayed to show
just where each car will stop.
WATCH THE SEMAPHORES
and you will not have to guess whether
an oncoming car is going to stop ten feet
or two hundred feet west of Broad Street.
You will not have to run back or forth to
reach your car after having guessed wrong.
EACH CAR WILL STOP OPPOSITE
ITS OWN SIGNAL.
The new system went into effect to-
day. 1t will be operated from 2 to 7 P. M.
daily, excepting Saturdays and Sundays,
when the hours will be from II noon to
II at night.
1t is hoped that the semaphores will be
helpful to the public; that they will facili-
tate the movement of traffic, a problem
in which you and your n~eighbor and all
who go to maze up the great public of this
community are as intimately and as vitality
interested as is the company.
At the same time, bear this in mind:
The semaphores will not affect the extra
rush hour cars provided on the Kinney line,
the Orange line and the Central line from
Market and Washington and on the Bloom
field and the Kearny lines from Bank and
Broad.
These, too, help in a large way TO re-
lieve the congestion and confusion at the
Four Corners.

THE FEELING AGAINST RUSSIA.

cTa HERE is a rising feeling in the United States of resentment
against Russia for the part she has played so many years
in violation of her treaty engagements in refusing to accord
ordinary privileges to American citizens desiring to visit Russia
and equipped with the credentials of our government. American
sentiment is now strongly reflected in Congress, and if the admins
tration does not take some definite and decided stand Congress
will, beyond a doubt. Russia's action in demanding the dismissal of
the American treasurer general of Persia and starting a column of
troops toward the Persian capital has sharpened American resent
ment. The friendship of America is something that Russia can.
not we'll afford to sacrifice, and therefore a strong expression Of
American sentiment must have some moral effect on the Russian
government.

oppo.es Arbitration Treaties.

TIC the Editor Of the Evening Star:
As it is but a short time before the
Senate meets and, anon other matters
will act upon the arbitration treaties, 1t
behooves Americans to become inter-
ested and to express their opinions re-
garding these matters. 1, with several
other men. in referenc. these trea-
ties, have agreed that they are not the
best thing for the United States. While
not in favor of war, we find no reason
why they should tie our hands, espe-
city in case of national honor.

an opportunity be given to determine the feeling as between Taft
and La Toilette. Coming from the head of the Republican organiza.
