Inspector Peter fmlth Makes Re
port em Twenty-Five of
Them.
Teter Smith, city health Inspector, has
reported on twenty-five dairies which he
has Inspected as provided by the new pure
milk ordinance. Inspector Smith bases his
findings on gradlngs for equipment and
methods. Ferfect equipment counts forty
points, while perfect methods score sixty
points. The highest score any dairy se
cured Is seventy-eight points, or twenty
two short of "perfect." The ordinance re
quires that to be eligible for a license a
dairy must secure at least forty-nine points
Smith's report shows that three of the
dairies lnpected by him fell below the re
quired standard, t
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
following twenty-five dairies which were
visited by him received the following

Better Train Service Wanted.
CRE8TON, la., Nov. S. (Special.) Towns
along the Burlington's north brapch out of

sens, relative to securing better train serv
ice when the railroad commissioners make
their visit to those places. It is expected
the commissioners will go up the branch
today. The towns along the route are going
to ask for an exclusive passenger and mall
train, making the trip up aad back the
Line day, and also for a freight up and
back the same day. The branch Is one of
the Burlington's best feeders, length con
sidered, and the passenger and mall service
the poorest. For years the passenger serv
ice has been only an accommodation freight
and the time slower than freight service
on other lines. The people of the towns
admit they have never tried concerted
action to better the accommodations until
now and propose to see what a "get to
gether" movement will do for them.

Enforcement at Macon.

RESPONSIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE
He Will Recommend Needed Changes
la Law, and it Will Be Dnty of
Representatives of People
to Act.
SAVANNAH, Oa Nov. 6. President Taft
traveled through central and southern
Georgia Thursday afternoon through
woods rloh in the warm reds, golds
and browns of autumn. He spent ths 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 hers at 7:45 o'clock
tonight and began his eighteen hours' stay
with a banquet at the De Soto hotel. To
morrow he will be takenfor a sail over
ths 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 hs leaves bsre at I
o'clock tomorrow afternoon he will return
at last toward Washington, whera he Is
due to arrive next Wednesday evening.
Georgia has proved no exception to the
other southern slates President Taft has
Visited, in extending a welcome. n 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 tho 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 William W. Gordon, an
old family friend.
President and Congress.
The Macon fair speech was Mr. Taft'a
principal utterance of the day and in It he
sought to define more exactly than he has
In the past the limitations placed upon the
executive and the responsibility that should
rest upon congress. The president also
took occasion to state ths belief that the
best way to accomplish reforms was not
In the disregard by the executive of the
limitations that stand In their way.
The president said:
"We have been trained a thousand years
through our English ancestry in the self
restraint that is necessary to the success
of popular government and in that quality
of being good losers that enables us to live
happily and contentedly under a govern
ment of which we are not a part. And
the same self-rtralnt 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 thst is en-
Joyed is the power to be exercised only for
tho benefit of the people end the country,
and not for the purpose of exalting the
person who temporarily is vestsd with the
power to exercise It.
"1 always hear, because It Is pleasant
and because the man who says It bellevea
It and 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
things In the exercise of power that would
have filled nie with a consciousness of It,
but I am bound to say that under existing
circumstances the thing which Impresses
me most is not the power I nave to ex -r-olse
under the constitution, but the limita
tions and restrictions to which I am sub
ject under that instrument
Forefathers Ballded Well.
"But our forefathers qullded wail, and
they knew what they were doing, and I
am not In favor, even If it seems to me
that a 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.

little sermon, and that is, the wisdom
and necessity of following ths law as It

sest and enthusiasm of reform there la an
impatience with legal limitations and
statues that seem to be directed against
that reform, or to prevent Us Immediate
accomplishment, auoh as to lead us to
disregard It or to Ignore It.
"I do not think, and I am sure you will
agree with me, that that it tho best way
of getting rid of a legal limitation that
interferes with progresa. The beet 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 tho first
thing that we have got to do after arous
ing ths people to the necessity of change,
is to change the law and not rely upon
the executive to Ignore the statutes aad
follow a law unto himself because- it is
supposed to be the law of higher morality.
Responsibility of Cong-ress.
"If you depart In any way from the
law as it Is, you enter upon a path which,
while entirely certain for one Issue In your
mind with respect to tho higher moral aim
of your own soul and that of your fellow
cltlsena, you aro nevertheless being led
Into a wilderness by which you cannot
guide your steps. Therefore, let us first
make the laws to accord to our desires
and our ambitions, and then follow them.
"I have said that much because I have
notloed a tendenoy among some of our
best fellow cltlsens to hold tho executive
responsible for not doing a great many
things that it la the business of my friends
In congress to lead the way and for the
executive only to follow after they have
laid down the rules. That does not rid
the executive of the responsibility of rec
ommending changes in the law. But it
does prevent him from going ahead and
executing, theee changes without the co
ordinate action of ths two legislative
branches of tho government; and. as I
Intend to recommend agood many meas
ures at the next meeting of congress, I
have taken this method of Intimating to
you where the responsibility wilt be if
those measures do not pass."
SYRIANS ARE OF ARYAN RACE
California Coort Rales that
Cannot Be Barred front
Cltlsenaklp.
They
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6. The right of a
native of Syria t become a cltisen of the
United States was upheld today by Judge
Hutton in the superior court of Los Angeles
oounty against ths effort of the federal
authorities.
The court ruled that a Syrian was not
a Mongolian, but of the Aryan race, and
hence could not be barred from citizenship.
The government will appeal to the federal
courts. It was contended that George
Shlshhlm, a Syrian, born In Lebanon, owed
allegiance to Turkey and hence should be
classed as a Mongolian.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-Ths federal De
partment of Justice tonight took a hand in
the controversy aver the question of
whether Syrians, Turks, Persians. Egyp

Northwestern
Puts Curb on
Extravagance
Social Function of Fraternities and
Sororities to Be Limited by
Faculty and Alumni.
CHICAGO, Nov. 8. Fraternity and
serorlty rule of ths social Ufa at North
western university and the expensive
drain on students to keep io tho social
limelight are to be curbed through Joint
action of tho university faoolty and the
fraternity alumni board of the institu
tion. The faculty has boon receiving com
plaints for some time that the expenses
of belonging to fraternities or sororities
is too high for the : average student, and
that unless pledged to one organisation
of tho kind tho student is left out of
the social life of ths college. Extrava
gant parties given by the Oreek letter
societies have been th rule, with the
result that a few have had to bear
heavy financial burdens.
To relievo thl , situation the faoulty and
members of tho alumni board propose
that instead of formal parties being given
each year by each of the nine chapters
ot national fraternities, three local fra
ternities and fourteen chapters of na
tional sororities, all shall combine and
bo divided Into groups and that each
group givs a formal party, in which stu
dents who do not belong to Greek letter
societies shall bo recognized upon an
equal basis with members. -
This plan, it Is reported. Is practically
Insisted upon by the faculty and alumni.
In commenting upon the scheme tonight.
Prof. J. Soott Clark, chairman of the
Northwestern faculty social committee,
said:
- "It has come to a pass when something
must" be done to stop the extravagant
waste of money by the Greek letter so
cieties. The average price for a formal
party given by tho various chapters Is
1100. There are on an average about
twenty-four members in each fraternity
and eighteen in each sorority. One event
i)at year cost MOO. Many students can-
hot afford such expenses and ars not ad
mitted into the social events of tho in
stitution."
