while 1t is pleasant to realize the
CONSCIOUSNESS of the power of presi-
dent, I'm bound to say that the thing
which impresses me most Is not the
power | have to exercise, under the
constitution, but the limitations and
] the enthusiasm of reform, there is
Impotence with legal limitations,
such as lead us to disregard or ignore
to get rid of legal Limitation ought to
be removed and that the statutes
ought to conform with our highest
ideals and ambitions; but that the
first thing we have got to do is to
change the law, and not rely upon
the executive to ignore the statutes
and follow the law unto himself.
"If you depart any way from the
aw you are being led into the wilder
ness by which you cannot subse-
quently guide your steps.
81 have noticed tendency to hold
the executive responsible for not do
ing many things that are the business
of my friends in congress. That does
not rid the executive of the RESPONSE
bility of recommending changes in
the law, but does prevent his execu-
ting these changes without the action
Of the legislative branch. As | intend

Elaborate Banquet.
The banquet was the most unique
and sumptuous that the president has
encountered. Nearly every course
was served on a dish which was taken
by the diners as souvenirs. At each
plate was a gold scarf pin on which
was enscrolled the seal of the city.
Canape was served in hand painted
china trays bearing the presidents
initials. Terrapin appeared in in
dividual copper chatting dishes which
were souvenirs. Punch was served
in silver mcunted glasses, brandy in
silver fllagree cups, cigars in red
leather cases---all souvenirs.
As the president arose twenty
