Tip for congressman

Two members of Congress have had
brushes with Virginia traffic authorities
in recent days.
The first was Representative Eber-
harter, Democrat, of Pennsylvania. He
was stopped on suspicion of exceeding the
speed limit in school safety zone. Mr..
Eberharter, as he had done once before,
invoked his congressional immunity, and
the ticket was Cancelled. For the Con-
gressman's information, however, it might
be suggested that his immunity from
arrest does not carry with it any special
privilege to drive in a manner which
could endanger the lives of school chill
dren.
The second complaint has come from
Senator Bender, Republican, of Ohio, who
was a passenger in a car caught Sunday
in radar speed zone near Woodbridge.
The operator of the car was charged with
driving sc miles an hour in a 55-mile zone
and this on stretch of road which has
become notorious as traffic hazard
Senator Bender claimS-and the State
police deny-that the car was singled out
because it bore Ohio tags. But this really
is beside the point. The point is that
66 miles an hour in 55-mile zone is
speeding. And Virginia, faced with an
appalling highway death toll, is cracking
down hard on speeders-as it should do
If Senator Bender does not want his
friends arrested, he should advise them
to stay within the speed limits. If they
won't do this, they should and probably
will be picked up again.

Revolution in Russia Unlikely


Melville E. Stone, general
manager of the Associated
Press, writing in the Sunday
magazine of The Star, May IA.
1905, said: I'VE read and hear
daily that Russia is on the verge
of a great upheaval similar to
the French Revolution. But in
France there was an intelli-
gent peaSantry, educated by
Voltaire and Rousseau and in
tellectually ready for revolt. 1t
was a homogeneous popula-
ton, the people were compact,
and the distances were short.
Men could march, if necessary,
from Bordeaux and Marseilles
upon Paris. The army was
under the command of Lafa-
yette, himself a republican
educated to liberal ideas in the
United States. And the army
spoke the language of the
people. Now, Russia is a coun-
try of many races and many
tongues and many religions.
It is a country of vast dis
tances, and even if any man
were able to walk from Odessa
or Kief to st. Petersburg or
Moscow, he could not leave his
town without the consent of
the police, and without hav-
ing his passport vised by the
police, a police, too, which
stands solidly for the govern
ment and could not be induced
to stand otherwise. There is
no temptation which can be
offered them, as a class

lacking. What is that principle
to be? 1t cannot be govern
ment by the people, for nine
tenths of the people would
not know the meaning Of the
phrase. All the intelligent peo-
pie in Russia, from the Gar
downward, recognize the ne
cessity for change. But what
the change is to be not one
