The highest score any dairy se- cured is seventy-elght points, or twenty- two short of “perfect.” The ordinance re quires that to be eligible for a lice dairy must seeure at least forty-nine points Smith's report shows that three of the dairies inspected by him fell below the re- quired standard, Inspector Smith expressed the opinion that the result of his Inspection would be that the dairymen who failed to score the requisite number of points and those who | fell far below the “perfect” total would at once take steps to remedy the defects com plained of so that by the time he made an other round their places would score up to the required standard Inspector Smith's report shows that the | tollowing visited by points Nome.

RESPONSIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE He Will Recommend Needed Changes im Laws and it Will Be Duty of Representatives of People to Act. SAVANNAH, Ga., Nov. 5.—President Taft traveled through central and southern Georgla Thursday afternoon through woods rich in the warm reds, golds and browns of autumn. He spent the fore- noon at Macon, where he declared he was glad to be back in Georgia again and felt thoroughly at home in the state whence he went to Washington last March to assume the oath of office. The president arrived here at 7:46 o'clock tonight and began his elghteen hours' stay with a banquet at the De Soto hotel. To- morrow he will be taken for a sall over the harbor, will have a spin around the famous automobile course over which the grand prise races were run last fall and will have lunch at the Thunderbolt casino. Savannah is the farthest south the presi- dent will go and when he leaves here at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon he will return at last toward Washington, where he is due to arrive next Wednesday eévening. Georgla has proved no exception to the other Southern states President Taft has visited, in extending a welcome. In Macon this morning it seemed as though the coun- try for miles around had been depopulated to make up the throngs that gathered in that city. At every one of the numerous stops between Macon and this city there | were large throngs out to greet the presi- dent and cheer the few words he had an opportunity to utter. Tonight the presi- dent was met by another great crowd. Dur- ing his stay in Savannah Mr. Taft is the guest of General Willlam W. Gordon, an old family friend, Pres t and Congress. The Macon falr speech was Mr. Taft' principal utterance of the duy and in it he | sought to Aefine more exactly than he has in the past the limitaticns placed upon the executive and the responsibility that should rest upon congress. The president also took oceasion to state the bellef that the best way to accomplish reforms was not in the dlsregard by the executive of the limitations hat stand in their way The president sald: “We hive been trained a thousand years through our English ancestry in the self- restraint that is necessary to the succel of popular government and in that quality of belng good losers that enables us to live happlly and contentedly under & govern- ment of which we are not a part. And the same self-restraint that teaches the majority that rules that not only the limi- tations of law and the constitution, but limitations of decency, limitations of pa triotism, are as strong on the majority as it is possible that should be. “In other words, the power that is en- joyed is the power to be exercised only for the benefit of the people and the country, and not for the purpose of exalting the person who temporarily is vested with the power to exercise It. “1 always hear, because it is pleasant | ena because the man who says it believes | 1t ana also because it rounds a full period about the power of the president of the United States, and I doubt not that after I am out of office I shall be able to look back and see where I might have done fhings in the exercise of power that would have filled me with a consclousness of it but T am beund to say that under existing clroumstances the thing which impresses me most is not the power I have to exr- cise under the constitution, but the limita- | tions and restrictions to which 1 am sub- | ject under that instrument Forefathers B 4 Well, “But our forefathers huilded well, and | | they knew what they were doing, and 1 |am not in favor, even if it seems to me | ‘mn & particular provision ought to be omitted, of changing the constitution every | time you run against the sharp edge of | something that indicates that you are only | mortal and that the forefathers in making the constitution distrusted your human nature.

The best way is to have the people understand that that |- limitation ought to be removed and that the statutes of our government ought to conform so far as may be to our highest ideals and ambitions; but that the first thing that we have got to do after arous- ing the people to the necessity of change, is to change the law and not rely upon the executive to ignore the statutes and follow a law unto himself because it ls supposed to be the law of higher morality. Responsibility of Congress. “If you depart in any way from the law as it is, you enter upon a path whieh, while entirely certain for one iasue in your mind with respect to the higher morsl aim of your own soul and that of your fellow citizens, you are nevertheless being led into a wilderness by which you cannot gulde your steps.

Northwestern Puts Curb on Extravagance Bocial Functions of Fraternities and Sororities to Be Limited by Faculty and Alumni, CHICAGO, Nov. 6 — Fraternity and serority rule of the social life at North- western university and the expensive drain on students to keep in the soclal limelight are to be curbed through joint action of the university faeuity and the fraternity alumni board of the institu- tion. The faculty has been recelving ocom- plaints for some time that the expenses of belonging to fraternitles or sororities in too high for the average student, and that unless pledged to one organization of the kind the student is left out of the social life of the college. Extrava- gant parties given by the Greek letter socleties have been the rule, with the result that & few have had to bear heavy financiai burde To relieve thi, situation the faculty and members of the alumn! board propose that instead of formal parties being given eagh year by each of the nine chapters of national fraternities, three local fra- térnities and fourteen chapters of na- tional sororities, all shall combine and be divided into groups and that each &roup give a formal party, in which stu- dents who do not belong to Greek letter societies shall be recognized upon an equal basis with members. This plan, it is reported, is practically insisted upon by the faculty and alumni.
