Taft Meant Well, Perhaps.

The recent uttorance Of our worthy
and obese president as to the consti-
tuition Of Oklahoma need not produce
any democratic Mysteries as in the
case of some of our exchanges, up.
on full and complete consideration
of the facts in the case. In the first
place Mr.. Taft has ran largely to
abdominal development which usual
ly works in inverse ratio to the cere-
bral. Then the larger and more un-
wieldly animals are seldom adroit
a~d graceful. Elephants don't dance
well and this applies intellectually as
we'll as physically. Large creatures
are clumsy. We are disposed to be.
lieve that Mr. Taft meant to compli.
ment Oklahoma, but he was clumsy.
He said, "A Geological Garden of
Cranks. "
Well, the geological is all right.
Man is an animal. Glass, Mammalia,
Order, Vertebrate: sub-order, Bima-
ma, and we have lots Of such animals
in Oklahoma-go goods ones. too. Then
garden" is a place of flowers and
fragance. Who questions Oklahoma
being garden" and a glorious
garden, and exceedingly fair at that
Lastly 'cranks" turn things round as
the constltution-mak OF Oklahoma
did, so that the masses have chance
in the struggle for existance.
Cranks are indispensable in any well
ordered country. The light of the
Reformation came from Luther and
and his cranks. Patrick Henry and
other cranks of the same sort wrested
this country from fsreign domination.
Its the cranks that turn things over
and Oklahoma has made a start in
that way. The president recognized
lhe fact, but as we stated, was
clumsy in expressing it. He did not
put it neatly. that's all. Thank YOU,
kindly, Mr.. Taft. Now, let tha
cranks continue to turn things over.

Tor the babies I'm a city which has
population OF 100000 at an expenditure
of about 81 900 The estimate is based
on the amount IL costs the city of
Rochester annually TO maintain its
milk depots. A preliminary feature of
this supervision of the sources of the
baby's milk has been the selection of
some farm within reasonable distance
from the city i'm which the dairy and
cows are kept under cleanly, whole

milk. Packed I'm ice, the milk is car
ried to the city and distributed from
four centers in as many parts OF the
city.
During the ten years before the es-
tablishment of the milk depot the total
number of deaths of children under
one year was 1876. From 1897, when
the work was begun, to 1906, the total
number of deaths of children of that
age was 3,i2l, reduction of over 80
per cent, without taking into consid-
Grafton any increase in population dur
ing that period
The milk depot, or dispensary, under
the supervision of physicians and the
care OF trained nurses, has become a
recognized necessity. and where the
municipality has been Indifferent to its
obligations the responsibility has been
shouldered by philanthropic individu-

inspection of the babies by the physi-

With a stiff breeze blowing over the
parade grounds, sending up clouds o;
dust, Orville Wright was forced to shut
the door Of the shed where the aero

the wind gave no promise Of becoming
reduced, and the aviator declared that
