Bronchial Troubles
Need Creomulsion
Bronchial troubles may lead to some
thing serious. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a
new medical discovery with two-fold ac
tion; it soothes and heals the inflamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
Os all known drugs, creosote is recog
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per
listent coughs and coldr and other forms
of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and in
flammation, while the creosote goes on to
the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and checks
the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory
in the treatment of persistent coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and
other forms of respiratory diseases, and
is excellent for building up the system
sftcr colds or flu. Money refunded if any
cough or cold, no matter of how long stand,

National Topics Interpreted /
by William Brackart"
Washington.—The second session of
the Seventy-Second congress, now pass-
ing Into history
as the last "lame
duck" sessions is
crowning itself
A DO-NOTHING
CONGRESS
with a new-found glory. Short ses
sions of congress, in advance of a
change in administration, are never
expected to accomplish much, but the
current edition is by all odds the win
ner when the race is run towards the
zero.
Indeed, those of us who are re
quired—not privileged—by our duties
to sit in the press galleries of the
senate and the house day after day
have indulged In a little game of at
tempting to locate some legislation
which might have been killed but was
allowed to pass. It “just ain’t.”
And to make the thing more ridicu
lous, senate and house committees
were excitedly holding hearings on
this bill or that right up to the finish
line, taking testimony (on account of
which there Is always a tremendous
stenographic bill in addition to the
printing charges of thousands of dol
lars) and inviting witnesses from here,
there and everywhere. There was not
a chance for those bills to he enacted
into law and the bulk of the commit
tee members admitted the fact pri
vately. But for the sake of the "rec
ord.” they joined with others of thelE
particular committee and went right
ahead on their grand errand of futility.
The proponents of the hearings jus
tify their course with the statement
that they now have the data upon
which to fashion legislation later.
They argue that the bulk of the leg
islation had something or other to
do with tne whole program of lifting
the country out of the mire of the de
pression, and a survey shows this to
be true In al) respects. It could be
said, therefore, that the orgy of hear
ings in the short session was in:,p repa
ration for greater things, except .that
the records reveal new hearings al
ways have been held, regardless of
what has transpired before, when the
same legislation Is Introduced In a
new session of congress.
Whenever a congress ends, all bills
on the house and senate calendars of
business die. So the expiration of the
second session Is also the expiration
of the Seventy-Second congress, and
every bill that was before either house
or In the hands of any committee of
either house became null and void.
...
No one seems to know why there
was so much activity among the com
mittees of the senate and house In
the session. It was apparent at the
start, and became more so as Decem
ber and January passed and February
rolled In, that It would be a do-noth
ing session. Senators recognized the
situation. From the Republican side
came threats and jibes and jests that
the Democrats were blocking anything
and everything. From the Democratic
side of the senate chamber came the
same tune with just a slight variation
in the chorus. It was to the effect
that the Republicans had control,
which they did if one counted as Re
publicans thosq who hnd deserted the
Republican candidate In the 1932 elec
tlot) for the support of Mr. Roosevelt.
And so It was.
In the house, there was a clear
Democratic majority. But something
else was wrong in that body. The
plans of the leadership did not always
carry, and if they did. the legislation
was passed only to run Into the log
jam in the senate. Some of the house
Democrats even went so far as to say
their majority would not have held
to pass some of the legislation put
through except for the knowledge that
the bills would get snowbound in the
senate.
A Washington correspondent for one
of the great London dailies cabled his
newspaper that "the American con
gress seems to bo going in all direc
tions at the same time.” I quote him
because there has-been no more fitting
description of the situation come to
my attention.
• • •
After all. It seems to me the cir
cumstance ought not he so surprising
that the short
session has done
nothing. 1 have
inquired among a
WRITE YOUR
CONGRESSMAN
very great number of senators and
representatives, from leaders down to
the newest and latest additions to the
membership. Their answers to my
question concerning the lack of ac
complishment varied so widely that
I concluded they must reflect minutely
the feeling throughout the country.
Every one. or nearly every one, has
had worries through the last three
years and those worries have been ac
centuated in the last year. The own
ers of these worries, whether they are
important worries or just individual
worries, looked around' for some one
to solve their problems. Suddenly,
they thought: “Why. there is our con
gressman.” or Senator So-and-So. Uis
mail from home has increased as the
troubles have grown. Xot that he can
do anything about most of the cases,
vet he Is one point upon which the
spotlight focuses.
Consequently, it Is made to appear
that senators and representatives hear
so, much about the sad state of af
fairs, the. suffering, the foreclosures,
tie closed banks, the bankrupt corpo-
rations, the low price of wheat, of
cotton, of cattle and hogs and dairy
products, that they are actually “going
in all directions at the same time.” I
do not know whether that excuses
them for their failure to get things
done, but assuredly It is one of the
factors in the situation which has been
overlooked to a considerable extent.

But as President Hoover passes
from the picture of national control.
it is worth while
to look back for
a moment. Wash
ington observers
HOOVER’S
TOUGH JOB
of all shades of opinion are coming
around to the conclusion that what
ever may have been his faults, he has
had one of the toughest jobs on his
hands that ever was faced by a Presi
dent. Especially was this true during
the last two years of his administra
tion. During that time, he had a con
gress made up of a Democratic house
and a senate in which there never
was a majority on either side on any
question; I mean, a majority that
could be counted in advance, and he
was forced, therefore, to do a lot
of trading. That Mr. Hoover was
able to get his reconstruction program
as far under way as he did was due
absolutely to the condition of the
country and not through any control
which he was able to exert.
As a matter of fact, the congress
for the last ten years has been an
“unbroken colt.” The senate during
all of that time has been so close
as regards the party division that a
group of so-called progressives have
constantly wielded the balance of pow
er. Being Independent, those 10 or
12 men on the Republican side and
a few less on the Democratic side
skated back and forth as their ideas
dictated. The result was a terrific
casualty of well-laid plans.
While the senate was in this con
dition, the house was having its trou
bles and would have had more ex
cept for the extraordinary personal
ity of the late Nicholas Longworth.
So It becomes rather obvious that
whatever Mr. Hoover may have lacked
in political ability or acumen; what
ever were his shortcomings in state
craft, or however many mistakes he
made by refusing concessions, the fact
still remains that he held the job
as President in a period when few men
would have succeeded. For, coupled
with all of these factors, there was
and is no measure within the power
of the federal government to satisfy
all of the diverse elements of these
times. The depression has made ex
perience of bygone years as useless
as the proverbial fifth wheel of the
farm wagon.
• « «
In view of these facts, therefore, It
ought to be a cheering prospect for
Mr. Roosevelt to
see not just a

majority of his own party Tn the com
gressionaT membership when they get
toget her.
The American government always
has been a party government. It thus
hag had to have a Satisfactory ma
jority of each house of congress of
the same pantj as the President In
ordpr to work well. Mr. Roosevelt's
first two years In the White House
are assured of such a working con
trol if all who. are labelled as Demo
crats turn out to be Democrats.
On the face of things, it appears
that Mr. Roosevelt ought -to he able
to get whatever he wants from the
extra .session and the succeeding ses
sions. It is a situation ideal for ac
tion. There will he so few Republicans
that observers here fail to see how
they can start any trouble, even with
the aid of progressives.

There have been suggestions floating
around to the effect that quite a nnm-
her of "trial
balloons" have
been sent up
SENDS UP TRIAL
BALLOONS
in the congres
sional atmosphere by Mr. Roosevelt.
While there is no method of confir
mation available, there has been one.
condition existing during the last three
months that seems to confirm the opin
ion that the incoming President was
testing out sentiment. The condition
is this: Mr. Roosevelt has kept
hands off insofar as telling leaders of
his party in congress what he wanted
to have done tn the short session.
He eould have made his own path
way easier to travel after becoming
President had he confided some of his
views to the Democratic leaders of the
house and senate.
With reference to the suggestions
of "trial balloons,” however, it is pos
sible Mr. Roosevelt did tell a few of
his friends some of his ideas. It has
been observed here, for example, that
possibly his suggestions were respon
sible for the consistently busy commit
tees. By introducing various and sun
dry pieces of legislation and holding
hearings on them in committees, it
would be possible obviously to gain a
perspective of the public attitude. In
deed. such a period of experimenta
tion would provide the new President
with a most definite outline of what
he could expect in the way of a recep
tion for his plans when they are for
mally offered to his own congress.
