port for the Overman bill empowering
the president to reorganize govern

ever, limited his support by stating
he would vote for an amendment to
exempt the interstate commerce COM
MISSION and federal reserve board

For the administration, Senators
Williams of Mississippi, Wolcott of
Delaware, and others made spirited
speeches in behalf of the bill.

while Senator Borah declared the
pending measure would be helpful
without permitting any permanent
change in government organization.

Ny Dear Little Friend;
learn that you are this week
starting to school for the first time,
and ! want to congratulate you upon
arriving at that important period In
your life, and upon the opportunity
that Is now open to you. ! need not
hope that you will take advantage Of
the opportunity, because / know you
will. You must be faithful and untir-
ing in your work, because that is what
counts. Be steadfast in your purpose
to acquire knowledge and ultimately
make q learned man Of yourself, but
in doing so, don't forget to be q real
man in every sense Of the word. A
man with education but without heart
and morals will some time or other
make q ship-wreck Of his life. / hope
that in acquiring your education you
will have all Of these qualities. Life
means something more than having
good time and acquiring money. II
you only do those two things you fail.
Unless someone else is helped and
blessed in their life by reason Of con-
tact with you, you might better not
have lived. Start now, Paul Damon,
and have q good purpose in life. If
you do that l know you will succeed.
With my best wishes, I remain, as
ever,
Your good friend,
