Of government.
But would not any such Capitalization
of power result in abuse in its exercise?
Such a cry is bound to be raised by con-
gressional opponents of the reorganiza-
ton plan. On that point the Presidents
committee says:
Those who Waver at the sight OF
needed power are false friends of modern
democracy. Strong executive leadership
is essential to democratic government
today. Our choice is not between power
and no power, but between responsible
but capable popular government and
irresponsible autocracy."
President Roosevelt noted the problem
one year ago, when he said to Congress:
I'm "a months we have built up new
instruments of public power. In the
hands of a peoples government this
power Is wholesome and proper. But in
the hands Of political puppets of an eco
nomic autocracy. such power would pro-
vide shackles for the liberties of the
people"
What the President is proposing is
radical in its implications. The reason
is that Mr.. Roosevelt visions govern
ment armed with power to deal with
economic problems and to guard the
people against recurrent booms and de-
pressions through actions of an executive
who has a tight grip on the whole ma
chinery of that government. Economic
conservatives would prefer that the Gov
ernment be bound by checks and bal
ances that hinder action.

At that point again the Presidents
committee has an answer. It says:

NATIONAL RISE
 IN TUBERCULAR
 DEATHS SHOWN
Higher Rate Is Attributed to, Effect of Lean
 Economic Years

New York, Oct. 27 (U.P)-Just as the post-war days of 1918 precipi- tated q decided increase in tubercu- loSis mortality In the United States, so has the recent years of economic depression brought about Q climbing rate of deaths from the same mal- ady in this country, in the opinion of pr. Kendall Emerson, managing director of the National Tuhercu- loSis Association.
 After c careful survey of figures gleaned from the records of the state boards of health just submit. ted to the National Tuberculosis As- Sociation, Dr. Emerson found that 24 states and the District of Columbia showed . higher death rate for last year than in 1895. The lowest mark was 02 per cent in New Jersey. Ok lahoms topped the field with 22.7. Since the increase had been expect- ed, according to Dr. Emerson, . great deal of emphasis has been placed on Q health program to halt thiS spreading disease. The death rate from tuberculosis. was approxi. Inately only per cent during the years le26.i09S.

STORlES.lN STAMPS

FASTENED to blaze deep trails D In American history was the scion of . distinguished French family, Pere Jacques Marquette, born just 300 years ago in Laon. France.
 When scarcely 30, he was sent to Canada to preach the gospel to the red man. Marquette first took up his work at Sault Ste. Marie, lSboring among the Ottawas. He btsllt . simple church In this busy trading post and began the accu- mutation of geographic informa- ton at once of rare value to France. He was both missionary and pioneer. C
 in 1872 he was joined by Joliet, experienced explorer, sent out by the government, and the two of them, accompanied by Ave French canoeists, started southward on the voyage that was to make them famous. The Mississippi river was an unknown stream when that trek began. No one knew where it flowed: the perils 1t entailed. When they tolled back northward somc two years later they had gleaned the MIssissippi's first great secrets.
 But already Father Marquette had sacrificed himself to the jour- ney. Two hundred miles from St. lgnace and his home mission, he dIed and was laid to rest in the wilderness near what is now Lud- ington, Mich., on May i8, 1875. The .MIssissippl U. 6. issue of 1898 portrays Marquette.

Five minor alarms were answered by the fire department yesterday afternoon and early this morning.
 A one-story wooden shack owned by the 0. R. C L. company at 74 Watertown avenue, was destroyed entirely by . blaze that started about O:l7 o'clock last night. The cause of the blaze is unknown.
 Two brush fire alarms were re corded earlier in the afternoon, one at 2:44 o'clock and the other ct 2:04 o'closck. The latter was on the property of the new Pine Grove cemetery. Merline avenue, and tho other was on the property Of Henry Weyand, 30 Tracy avenue.

crease of i67 to 126 in the number of deaths. Nebraska had 26S deaths in 1886 as against 306 in le36. Wyo- ming shows c drop from 22,4 to l6O.
 According to state statistics, the total tuberculosis death rate for the United States rose from 64.6 per cent in 1895 to 56.4 in 1886. A total of 6o,47l persons, for the most part between the ages of lS and A6, died of tuberculosis in 1885 in the United States, while the total rose to 70,907 in 1886. With the excep- ton of New Hampshire, oil other sections of the country showed in. creased death rates.
 New York Toll 7,84O
 In New York state, 7,040 people died of tuberculosis in i936 as com- pared with 7,427 in 1885, the death rate per 100000 population increaS- Ing from 67.6 per cent to 69,l.
 Hawaii and Puerto Rico reported increases for last year. In Hawaii, there were 336 deaths, with Q rate ot e7 per 100000 population. In ieS6, the rate was 76.6. Tn Puerto Rico, the rate jumped from 2o7.8 in 1885 to 3o0.0 the following year, the num- Der of deaths going from 6,ooE to B,1s2.
 with the improvement in ouI technic for handling tuberculosis, 1t should be possible to prevent any material rise in the death rate," pr. Emerson said. By Q concentration of effort we hope to start the annual mortality from this disease once more on the downward trend.
 Must Anticipate EpldemicS
 "Epidemics vary with different seasons of the year and according to certain laws of periodicity. One of the many important duties of public health education Is to antici- pate such accidents and to be pre-. pared to decrease their seriousness by speeding up known methods ot prevention" ....y.,.....
 An aroused and intelligent pub- lie interest Is the greatest aid in organized prevention of disease, Il, Dr. Emersons opinion.
 "A people alert to Q threatened danger will cooperate to avert it," he said. Though the rise In tu. bercuiosis mortality b slight ct the moment, 1t should be taken as Q call to arms and the people of the coun- try should rally around the Public Health Service as c well.trained army of volunteers to aid in turning back this ruthless enemy of human health before 1t has reformed iti' ranks as in 1918 and regatned an appreciable amount of the ground from which 1t has been forced pro. gressiyely to retreat since that date"

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
PRESIDENT MADE NO CONVERTS

If Mr.. Roosevelts freside chat on Tuesday and
the subsequent speeches he intends to make on the
supreme court issue are like the one he delivered
Thursday, he is not going to win back those among
his supporters who have left him on this question
Of course, he will not shake the ranks of those
opposed to him on other grounds as well.
on,the contrary, however, exhilarating his Eight
ing phrases" were to some, the whole character OF
that self-righteous speech; it's SNUG assumption
that he is the repository of all virtue and wisdom;
his avoidance Of any excuse for the misleading ar
guments advanced in his message and so quickly
shown to be at war with the facts; his failure to
so much as recall his platform pledge and his arnaz-
ing conception of the judicial branch of the gov
ernment as one of "three-horse team" whose duty
it is to pull with the other two-these things tend
ed to deepen the conviction among his opponents
that his SEIZURE of the court would give him a
power neither he nor any other man should have
that it must be fought to the limit and denied at
any cost The President made no converts by that
speech-Frank Kent in Charlotte Observer. 80

SIXTY-EiGHT YEARS AGO

This paragraph from the Sumter Daily Item is
referred to the senator's and represen
tatives in the general assembly of South Carolina:
"It seems that when U. S. Grant became pres-
dent in 1869, majority of the supreme court was
suspected of being out of harmony with the aims
of the Republican party majority in the house and
senate. Lincoln had appointed five judges, and it
was believed that they saw eye to eye with his
policy of pacific reconciliation with the Southern
states. The national legislature then was dominat-
ed by the so-caled radicals whose announced
purpose it was to treat the South as q conquered
province. In the end, the bill passed the house
and died in the senate" ae - .a!.'s' s
In the troublous times between 1895 and 1880,
the supreme court of the United States was bull
wark of protection to the conquered South If that
court had not declared the "civ rights" act passed
by congress unconstitutional self-respecting white
people would hardly have bsen able to live in the
South The well-to-do would have left it. The poor

There are a thousand and one
ways the foregoing thought could
be employed economically.
Another point: The cover Of a
garbage can lasts indefinitely, yet
when you go t0 buy a new can
you must buy a new cover too.
The merchant will not sell you a
can without the cover-and if he
would your old cover probably
would not fit your new can. Why
shouldn't the shapes and sizes of
garbage cans be standardized,
with covers interchangeable?
Then you could use your old COW
er and save the price Of q new
