Time to
"CONGRESS should adjourn,
the country one.
A tremendous amount of important and desirable legislfi
tion has been passed. The fevf important measures pending,
can, either like the holding company bill, be quickly adjusted in
conference and passed, or be left for more mature and carefdl
consideration, at a subsequent session.
IT is hot in Washington. Everyone ia worn to a frazzle; every -
one with the possible exception of the president is tired
and harassed. In such an atmosphere there is little chance of
constructive or permanent accomplishment.
The country as a whole still doesn't know what it's all about.
The recess of congress, a breathing spell would give the coun
try a chance to find out. And even more important it would
give the legislators a chance to find out what their constituents
think about it all.
e
SENATOR BORAH predicts
all summer. 'We hope the
as he sometimes is.
If congress remains in session
longer, it will be cruelty to animals, and in our judgment, as far
as the administration is concerned, a serious political mistake.
For as we see it, the psychology of the country, closely re
sembles the psychology at the close Of the world war. The
people are tired out, and fed up. They want nothing as much
as they want a REST, a rest from strife and turmoil, freedom
to take their bearings and find where they are at.
It makes no difference whether the new proposals are desir
able or the reverse. They want no new proposals. They have
had enough. They not only want congress adjourned, they want
POLITICS adjourned. And in the peace and quiet that follows
they want no new political dishes to dig"est, they only want an
opportunity to digest those that have already been served..
rRAGGING congress on through the summer, will not only
serve no useful purpose there j but in all probability it will
cause a political reaction throughout the country, a blind, un
reasoning one, that might sweep all before it, the good as
well as the bad.
This would be extremely unfortunate, not only for the Roose
velt administration, but for the country and everyone in it.
GREAT political progress has been made in the past three
years far reaching and valuable reforms have been effect
ed. The time has come to CONSOLIDATE these new positions
gained, not try to further extend them.
President Roosevelt has certainly shown he knows when and
how to go ahead. We are convinced, it will be to his advantage
if he demonstrates now, that like the masterful political gen
eral he is he also knows when to STOP.
Only Themselves to Blame
TPHERE are good lawyers and bad lawyers. There are good
public utilities and bad ones. There are good holding com
panies, and holding companies that aren't so good, in fact arc
terrible.
The serious difficulties in all three groups, we believe, come
from a common source the inability of the better element to
eliminate the worst or in any real sense control them.
In fact in the utility field, it appears the least desirable, the
most unscrupulous and unprincipled, has the upper hand, and
when anything important conies up supplies the leadership.
AT lcnst that certainly nppears to have been the case in this
" fight of the utilities against the so-called death sentence
measure.
We can't believe that the good holding companies, or the
leaders of the utility industry AS A WHOLE would be so stupid
or crude as to advocate the tactics employed to defeat this
measure.
Bringing all the information available to congress, exerting
every legitimate political pressure, upon the members, could
not be criticized.
. But the leaders in this fight were not content with that.
They not only spent money like drunken sailors, but they spent
their customers' money charged the expenses of their own
propaganda to operating COSTS. They not only sent telegrams,
they jyORCiED telegrams. They indulged in every shady prac
tice outside of direct bribery, and before the present investiga
tion is over, there may be evidence of that.
WHAT is the result! The good utilities suffer with the bad.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT

am afraid many
of your readers
when they read
your words see
In them nothing
but the same
hollow pretense. How mucn more
convincing It would be If you could
say "I made this experiment under
these conditions and Doctors So and
So examined me afterward and pro
nounced the experiment a success."
It seems a shame to lay your sell
open to jibes when you are doing
such a fine Job of debunking mere
tricious health appeal. J. E.
How I would go for that experi
ment If Doctors So and So could
be depended on to pronounce It a
success. But I fear they would pro
nounce me a Jiar. No. there Is only
one way the controversy will ever
be settled, and that Is by properly
controlled experiment or test made
upon the skin of a normal subject
by a committee of physicians, per
haps a chemist or two. I am not
challenging anybody. I merely ofler
my hide for such an experiment
whenever or wherever such an un
biased committee dcslreB to put the
question to actual test.
A few years ago some one did
carry out an experiment on his own
skin, applying arsenic, which failed
to poison him. How little effect this
had is Indicated by the fact that
even I, with my great Interest in
the question, cannot recall the name
of the man I vaguely remember
that he was a chemist, perhaps a
professor of chemistry somewhere.
It would be ridiculous for any one
to do such experiments and then
afterward ask physicians to certify
that there la no sign of poisoning
or 111 effect. If such a test Is to be
convincing It must be carried out
from first to last under strict con
trol of scientific observers
The only element of "challenge,"
so far as I am concerned. Is that

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Sterilization.
Where a couple have all the chil
dren they can support and do not
wish to have more, which should be
sterilized, the woman or the man?
. . . A. E. V.
Answer That Is not sufficient Jus
tification for sterilization. The ster
ilization of a woman is a major
operation: The sterilization of a man
Is a minor operation.
Vitamin and Insulin.
I was much Interested in your
statement that the vitamins or one
of them has an effect equivalent to
insulin. Can you tell us more about
that? . . . C. Q.
Answer Send ten cents coin and
stamped addressed envelope for book
let "Building Vitality." Vitamin B
activates carbohydrate metabolism
much aa'does a small dose of Insulin.
Certified .Milk.
Is a quart of certified milk, sweet
or clabbered, used daily, excessive
for an adult who eats a varied diet
of dairy products with fruits and
vegetables but little meat? ...
W. B.
Answer No, It Is fine protective
food.

the conclusion one comes to at the

If the New Dealers are so dete-

to gambling and narcotics.
If the New Dealers can handle
those businesses successfully, and
without scandal and heavy Ioh,
