WASHINGTON. Jan. Though
he swallowed none Of the ticker,
President-elect Hoover did lift his
glass to his lips (the correspondents

required him o%stensibly to join in
one of the champagne toasts which
numerously punctuated his Latin
American tour.
This gesture-bv a dry-seems 20
me a form Of bowling down In the
Temple Of Rimmon.
However, there is a Biblical sane
ton even for that, in q pinch.
But how about the Sunday after
noon spent BY Mr.. Hoover at the
races during his Rio de Janeiro stop
over?
II will be pretty hard to find q
flaw in that indictment.
Believe me, an Indictment Is what
il promises 10 amount to, from what

Not q legal Observation-Disclosures
by q grand jury. l don't mean that,
Of course. / do mean an indict-
ment on which Mr.. Hoover may as
well make up his mind to he panned

in his home country.
Capitol Hill, where congress fore
gathers, was all aEog with the news

after bringing it hither.
The beauty Of it is, the district

OF a terrific fight for and against a

To which he responded: Somebody

Rogers added that there was little
difference between himself and some
politicians. They kid New York"
he c~hirped, "and | kid America
Then, when some one brought un
the subject Of how one Of the papers
he's in, the New York Times, and
others, had spanked his wrist be-
cause in a radio address he "neg-

am well satisfied with the results Of the recent
Philippine legislative session. While there was much
delay in organizing and in beginning work, owing t.
the fact that it was the first session and many mem
bers were serving their first terms, several bills Of
outstanding Importance a. well az others Of much
value have been enacted.
The first was the Belo act authorizing 4 proper
staff for the executive. The staff organization under
this act has already done much TO make effective the
meetings Of the council Of state by examining for the
governor general pending bills so that they could b.
discussed at those meetings.
In this way the governor general has been enabled
10 keep more abreast Of the current work Of the legIs-
lature and to convey his suggestions and those Of the
cabinet TO the legislative leaders concerning pending
measures and also to receive from those leaders their
explanations and views Of the legislation. In spite Of
the crowded and hurried work of the legislature during
its las tdays, | trust that the necessity Of vetoes will
be found TO be reduced to a minimum.
If, in future sessions, the organization of the legiz-
lature team be perfected so as to secure the prompt
printing and translation Of bills, asd rules adopted 70
minimize the congestion Of the final day, great improve
tion. The council Of state has ever proved Of the ut
most value and know Of no more effective machinery
70 rexecutive and legislative cooperation in any state
of the American union.
The enactment Of the corporation law will. l be-
lieve, mark a new era in Philippine history not only ny
reason Of the Importance Of the bill itself but chiefly
because of what its passage signifies. The debate over
il has filled not only the halls of the legislature, hut
public meetings outside. as well as the columns Of the
daily press
