TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives
Hoover Finds Rough Going

President Hoover has passed through the first ses-
sion OF congress under his guidance and probably
some Of the events Of that session proved a liberal
education TO him.
At any rate he found the going exceedingly rough
in certain spots and none Of the road was any 700
smooth.
Senators Borah Of Idaho and Brookhart Of Iowa
stumped the agricultural West in the prediction
campaign for Hoover and then both fought bitterly
in the senate for the debenture plan, which the pres
ident had opposed, and all but wrecked the admins
tration farm relief bill in the upper house.
The farm relief bill finally was enacted just about
rs the president wanted II, but there was open mutiny
IN the senate and a great deal Of high-powered vote
trading was necessary before this result was obtained.
And TO defeat the debenture plan 1t was necessary
10 call IL to a vote In the house and thus put western
representatives on record against the debenture clause
when they very much desired not to be forced TO show
their hand.
They we're in hot water on the proposal, for many
OF their constituents were demanding the support
the plan and the administration was demanding they
be regular and vote against it.
While the farm aid bill seems to be about what
Hoover had in mind there IS a popular belief around
Washington that the tariff measure rs it stands to-
day does not so nearly conform to the views Of the
president.
Hoover mas been quoted repeatedly by members Of
congress as having called for a limited revision OF
tariff rates on agricultural products only.
The biz Is IL stands at present is a wolf in Sleeps
clothing. its enemies declare. Rates are increased on
a number OF agricultural products but at the same
time there is an increased duty on almost every prod
uct which the farmer purchases.
This. 1t IS generally believed. IS in conflict with
Hoovers views as to what is needed in the way of a
tariff revision.
Republican majorities were increased in both
houses OF the present congress over the one which was
I'm power during President Coolidges reign, but the
situation still is very much the same. The republican
independents of the senate still are able to WELD the
balance OF power as between the regular republicans
and the democrats.
Mr.. Hoover has graduated from his first course Of
instruction at the hands Of the congress.

Rorah Defeated But Not
Dismayed

Sen. Borah Of Idaho proposed that the makers Of
The tariff should confine themselves TO agriculture
and its kindred staples. His resolution was defeated
BY one vote.
Seven democrats Joined hands with administration
republicans. They blocked the game but they did not
defeat It. Now congress will take a rest until mid-Sep-

into shane a new tariff bill.

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT c. PLUEYMER

WASHINGTON. June Ex-senator Copeland Of
New York, the United States senate's physician and
sanitarian. went to the White House recently to see
the president on official business.
When he entered the executive offices he shifted
Then he glanced at the president inquiringly. His
gaze next travelled around the room. He frowned,
then a smile fitted across his face
Going to a window, he threw it up.
you need air. plenty OF air, II you are going to
keep fit for this job" he said. The ventilation in
this office Is very bad"
The president smiled and thanked him
Since that time he has worked with one or more
Of his office windows open.
One might conclude from this that the government
is not as vigilant as it might be in the matter Of the
health Of chief executives. On the contrary. the OPP
posite is true. Their physical we'll is a matter
Of the greatest concern.
WATCH MINOR NJURIEs
Even 50 small an injury as a black eve is sufficient
to cause the White House physician to exert the
greatest care. Com. Jole I. Boone, personal physician
to the Hoovers, took his job very seriously when the
president returned from a fishing trip with one a few
weeks ago. He used all Of his skill to return the eye
TO normal.
It long has been a source Of pride 10 the United
States navy that it has furnished most Of the doctors
10 presidents. AS far back as President Roosevelt.
navy doctors have been chosen the greater part OF the
time for service at the White House.
Only once in recent years, has there been a presi-
dent III enough to require the attention OF a physi-
clan constantly. and that was Woodrow Wilson. His
physician, inherited from the Roosevelt-Taft regime,
pulled him through many a close illness. Admiral
Grayson's name ever win be linked with that Of
Woodrow Wilson.
President Harding broke the navy tradition BY
bringing to Washington the personal physician Of
Mrs. Harding, whom he made a general in the army.
HEALTHY COOLIDGE
When the Harding regime came to a close the
Coolidges kept the same physician. President Cool
idge remarked dryly at the time the choice was made:
We are never i'll"
However. when DR.. c.. z. Sawyer passed into pri-
yate practice again. another army physician, MAJ.
James =. Coupal. took his place. His duties were
light, however. for true to President Coolidges pre-
dction, he and Mrs. Coolidge were never very i'll.
When President Hoover came into office he sent
Major Coupal back to the army and called on the
navy. Commander Boone got the post.
The White House is not the only branch OF gov
eminent that is welded TO navy physicians. The house
OF representatives has one always at hand, and mem
bers Of the house make liberal use Of his services.

Whether, as a few believe, it is

chance of a successor of Gene Tun-

or named by the royal edict of box

retirement Of MI. Tunney has left
the whole heavyweight industry in

retirement of Mr.. Dempsey, at least
temporarily, has been even more
depressing. for there never was
any question of gate receipts where
