Street Car Fighting.

Twice recently fighting has occurred on
local street cars, on one occasion In Vir-
ginia near the District line and on the
a narrow margin a tragedy was averted
in the first case, while the second affair
resulted less fortunately. two men being
seriously stabbed. Race feeling undoubt-
edly was the main cause of both of these
encounters. 1t is deplorable that the Sc
curity of street railway passengers should
be imperiled by such eruptions of pas
now necessary to seek the initial cause.
The fact to be borne in mind by the
police III their search for the trouble
makers in the second instance is that in
all such afrays there is acute danger
that wholly innocent persons may be in
jured. perhaps killed. in the course OF
lighting in close quarters.
Whoever is responsible for street car
night should be held to account more
strictly than for an ordinary outburst. A
specially heavy penalty should attach TO
a disturbance of the peace in a public
conveyance. where the passengers are
exposed to injury. II the men who began
the row on the Maryland line car can be
found they should get the severest pun
ishment the law allows, and II that is
not sufficient to serve as deterring eX-

than a misdemeanor.

No Money for Salem.

The refusal of the House appropriations
committee to recommend the passage of
an emergency bill putting $500, 600 at the
disposal Of the Governor of Massachu-
setts for the relief of the people of fire
stricken Salem is a sad SURPRISE in view
of the Presidents urgent appeal for such
action. 1t is stated that members of the
committee held that the request was
without precedent and therefore it should
not be granted. BY this time Congress
has had abundant reason to recognize
that the President makes his own prece-
dents. But whether unusual or other
wise. this appropriation should have been
granted without hesitation. That there
is pressing need of help at Salem is at
tested by the governors statement to
the President and by the latters indorse-
ment. The federal funds can be used to
no better advantage than to succor
stricken humanity. 1t is not too late to
reconsider the decision.

The District Rebate.

There need be no question as to who
will pay the expenses of the District for
the first fifteen days of July under the
continuing" appropriation. The Dis
rrict will pay its full share, whatever
may be the wording of the emergency
resolution. The appropriation committees
of Congress will carefully see to it that
nothing gets across to the Districts ad-
vantage in consequence of vague verbiage
in the law. II is possible that another
continuing appropriation will have to
be made, if the conferees on the Dis
triet bill do not make haste with the
framing up of that measure. In any
case if there should he doubt as to the
Taoility of the District for full half of
the cost of maintenance during the first
half of July an amendatory enactment is

Commendable is the calmness of New

The Situation in Congress.

That a mere corporals guard is doing
business in Congress was disclosed yes
terday On a division the House showed
sixtyseven members voting. This was
one hundred and fifty-one votes short of
a quorum A call of the House was or
dered and one hundred and eighty-four
members answered to their names. This
was thirty-four votes short of a quorum.
Adjournment of course was the only
thing possible, and the House adjourned.
The main point in this little sum is the
fact that only about q third of the num-
ber of members necessary to the transac
ton of business were present participat-
ing in business. The difference between
sixty-seven. who voted on the matter in
hand. and one hundred and eighty-four.
who answered present on the roll call. is
one hundred and seventeen. So that one
hundred and seventeen members were in
town not occupied with the work of the
House.
Everybody understands the reason for
this rump condition of things. Many
members are at home repairing their
fences" A warm campaign is approach
ing. and their little all is at stake. They
are keen for reelection, and see the ne
cessity for bestirring themselves. A
stitch in time saves nine. 1t is only four
months until election day. II they lose

stage forever For the great majority of
politicians defeat means death. They go
hence and are no more known.
1t is possible to force all absentees back
20 duty Both the Senate and the House
possess the power to compel attendance.
But leaders hesitate to go to extremes.
Arrest is an ugly procedure
The argument is against the absentees.
Their place is in Washington. Uncle Sam
take precedence of their interests.
The value of legislation enacted by a
few men. or of bare quorum, acting un-
der conpulsion, is questionable. Even
tho routine of Congress should receive
the consideration of a large majority of
its members; and in the Senate just now
questions both foreign and domestic of
the first Importance are on the card
with the President master of the situa-
ton and demanding legislation at this
session.
1t is to be doubted if matters improve
as time passes. Neither Senate nor House
is likely to show such attendance as the
occasion calls for. The hot weather in
the absentees. but the hotter times at
home explain everything. The President
is standing very pat. and as yet Con-
gress has shown no disposition to oppose
him and vote for early adjournment. 1t
is very tired, and that may explain in
part its lack of spunk and ginger.

Lincoln Highway.
I'm the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
The proposed national highway has a
practical side to it. and if this practical
phase Of the proposition is disregarded.
the realization of the scheme will be far
more difficult. The most Travelled route
in the United States is that which ex-
tends north and south along the Atlantic
slope. AS originally mapped. it is pro-
York, extend it thence to Philadelphia.
and from Philadelphia it is proposed to
start westward. routing by way of Get
tysburg. Out of every twenty touring
parties proposing to journey over the
Lincoln way, nineteen would prefer to
travel a route leading through Baltimore
and the National Capital. Practically all
of the travel that comes down from New
England and eastern Canada would keeI
to the road leading to the National Capt.
tai. And from a patriotic point of view
a Lincoln highway leaving Washington
off the line would be An absurdity.

whatever upon the present difficulties.
Meanwhile the Niagara Falls media

has been signed whereby the United
States withdraws all its demands upon
Huerta for satisfaction and pledges it.

of foreigners are recited, but these have
clearly no binding force as affects the
government to come.
No progress has been made. toward the
establishment of peace through negotia-
tions between the federals and consti-
tutionalists. Fighting has been con-
tinued, on a minor scale. the constitu-
tionalists resting after the capture Of
Zacatecas. The relations between Villa
and Carranza are reported to have been
improved by the acceptance of the lat
ter's rank as first chief by the for
mer, although later report states that
Carranza had ordered the dismissal of
Gen. Angeles from the constitutionalist
army, move which. if persisted in,
may have serious consequences.
Where does the United States stand in
all this? Interest is now being shown in
the status of this government in Mex
leo. Its forces are still at Vera Cruz
where they were landed in support of
the American demand for the salute of
the flag by Huerta after the arrest of
the marines and other indignities. That
incident is now closed through the ac-
ceptance of the protocol. Just why the
army is held at Vera Cruz. in the light
of the final waiver of the demand for
satisfaction, is not plain. Having dis
tinctly renounced all claims to a salute
or other recompense for the affront to
the flag and left the adjustment of the
Mexican problem in the hands of the
contending factions in that country, the
time would seem to have come for the
United States to withdraw its expensive
military establishment from Vera Cruz
