Message to Congress
On Reorganization
OF Federal Bureaus

President Roosevelt's message t
Congress last night. transmitting hi
executive order on reorganization
follows:
Pursuant to the provisions of
section l, title 8, of the act entitled
An act to maintain the credit of
the United States Government ap-
proved March 20, 1888, am trans
mitting herewith an executive order
for certain regroupings. consolida-
tions. transfers and additions of
executive agencies and functions
thereof.
PLEASE let me tell you very
simply and frankly that in trans
mitting this executive order at this
late hour in the special session I
have had no thought of taking
what might be considered an ad-
vantage of the Congress.
The very urgent demands of
the public business, both legislative
and administrative, during the past
few weeks have made it literally
impossible to complete the study of
consultations.
Many other changes are in con-
temptation and I have selected only
those which I believe should be
put into effect as quickly as pos
sible. These additional changes
do not feel it right to submit until
the next regular session of the
Congress.
May suggest that if the
changes proposed in the present
executive order are not concurred
in by the Congress they can be
restored or otherwise changed at
the beginning of the next regular
session a few months hence.
THE justification for sending
this executive order up, even at
this late hour, is that it will effect
saving of more than S25, ZOO, 900.
This is well worth while"

For Hard Coughs or
Colds That Worry You

Creomulsion is made to give su-
preme help for coughs or colds that
worry you. 1t combines seven helps
in one-the best helps known to
science. 1t is for quick relief, for
safety.
But careful people, more and
more, use it for every cough that
starts. No one knows where a
cough may lead. No one can tell
which factor will do most. That
depends on the type Of cold.
Creomulsion costs a little more
than lesser helps. But it means the
utmost help. And it costs you
nothing if it fails to bring the
quick relief you seek. Your druggist
guarantees it. Use it for safety's
sake.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25 GNS0.
Robert Barbour, brother of Sen
ator w. Warren Barbour of New
Jersey, will be arraigned in a
Manhattan court tomorrow on an
indictment charging perjury aris-
ing from a suit for 100000
brought against him by a stem
ographer who said he attacked
her.
Barbour is one of four brothers
who inherited $100,000.000 from
their father, William Barbour,
New Jersey manufacturer. His
present difficulties began four
months ago when 25-year-old Rita
Martini charged that he whipped
her in a hotel room in Sep
tember, 1882. She brought suit.
Barbour went to the District
Attorneys office and charged
that she was an extortiouer. He
denied her allegations before the
grand jury. 27 witnesses we're
called in the investigation which
followed and Barbour's indict-
ment followed. It is based on
his testimony in the grand jury
room that he had never given
her more than $100.
Barbour is 40, six feet five
inches high, and weighs 800
pounds. He is president Of the
Linen Thread Co.

NEW YORK, Oct. Is G.N.S).
The name of President Roosevelt
was thrust to the front today in
New York's mayoralty campaign
as Joseph v. Mckee. Recovery
Party leader, and Fiorello H. La
Guardia, Fusion standard bearer,
continued their battle.
Proclaiming "a vote for Mckee
is a vote for Roosevelt, a vote Tor
LaGuardia is a vote against Roose-
velt," the Recovery leader made
his strongest bid for a tie-up with
the national Administration as he
told a mass meeting LaGuardla
is a Socialist opponent OF PreSl-
dent Roosevelt, backed by anti
Roosevelt Republicans" Mckee
said:
'T have been attacked for re-
ceiving the support Of the lead
ers Of the national Democratic
party. If my private life and
public conduct deserve the sup
port of the Administration,
feel the Endorsement is a high
reward for years of effort"
Mckee displayed a photostatic
copy of a Congressionally franked
envelope in which LaGuardia dis
tributed copies of the Socialist
platform, and pointed out that the
Fusion candidate was being sup
ported by Ogden Mills, Henry L.
Stimson, former Secretary OF
State; w. Knigsland Macy, Repub-
lican State chairman, and Chase

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

President Roosevelt holds the hope Of the nation
and Of the world. For months the people have
waited, Abroad there is almost as much discussion
of his policies as at home for it is world depres
sion in which the acts Of the United States gov
ernmcnt will have repercussions in all countries
Here, millions of unemployed industrial workers,
entire farm population, the merchants manu-
facturers, bankers and public generally sucked down
by the depression look to the new President.
No longer is the cry heard that government
should keep its hands of and allow rugged in
diyidualism to find way Three years of that has
led us deeper in the hole Now the plea is for
government action
In unique sense, the President has the sup
port Of the country. Not only did the millions who
voted for him last November but the millions who
did not anxious to follow him now Partisan
bitterness is forgotten in the common adversely
The most ignorant citizen realizes that he must
trust the President. Only the President has the
position of leadership the power.
Perhaps no man ever has had such power in this
country before. We mean not only his great legal
authority, or the extraordinary powers which con-
gress is ready to grant him during the emergency
Greater than that is the moral support of a ma
ton ready to accept virtually any plan he DEGREES
as the best way out With such backing there is
A'iN4y any IAIiIG 10 "iIdC Jne PRESIDENT can 90.
That MI. Roosevelt is sobered by this response
bility and heartened by this support is clear He
appears confident and fearless, leader willing to
listen to advice, but determined to act without much
delay.
Speed is essential 1t is required because in three
months of lame duck paralysis we have lost the
offensive in the against the depression Speed
Is imperative also because the almost unanimous
public support Of the President can not be main
tanned without action.
Today is the high point of his power He can
DO much IN March, but less in May. Hope can not
be too long deferred without breaking
The President has a plan of action. It's efec-
tiVeness Will be determined in large part by the
speed with which it is put to work.

Just Plain Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A BOVE the uproar and the clamor, there arises
n occasionally voice-like that Of one crying in
the wilderness-which carries a message Of hope
Such comes today from Of the wise men Of this
generation, John Cowper Powys.
In his new volume, "a Philosophy of Solitude"
Mr.. Powys breaches return to the old SATELLITES
And surely nation no race, no people ever needed
to give heed to such words as twentieth century
Americans.
For we have clustered and scurried and strutted;
we have sped like the wind in our motor cars and
flown above the clouds in our airplanes. We have
invented and constructed and accumulated; We have
gathered lands and houses and gold.
And from all these endeavors there has come for
the individual American-nothing Out of the vast
pile of our wealth issues starvation The hustle the
achievements have brought emptiness Our fortunes
dust and our riches have disappeared like
ashes before the wind
All our monuments to materiaism rear their
might heads, and at their feet our people cry for
food and rament and shelter
T ,ABORING, we have learned bitterness of heart
- Our efforts have produced sorrow and our
strivings have ended in pain.
And so We learn again what the prophets of old
knew well-that all these things are vanity and
a vexation Of spirit.
1t may be. therefore, that we are ready to listen
to the few quiet people who, after much thinking
tell us that only by acquiring philosophy that will
enable the individual to endure life is life ever toll
cradle to man.
One does not acquire philosophers however
mild, in crowded places in speeding automobiles or
upon congested pavements. One finds such wisdom
by sitting down with oneself and cultivating calm
ness Of soul.
And in seeking that peace which solitude, con-
temptation and stiffness confer, we perhaps again
shall find the God who has been lost to u.s. the God
OF the forest and the fields, who breathes in the
morning upon the treetops and walks in the garden
in the cool of the day.
