WHITE HOUSE
 SOCIAL PROGRAM

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Ail is in readiness for the cabinet dinner at the White House tomorrow night,
 which will usher in the program of official dinners and receptions for the season of 1907 and 1908. At the banquet tomorrow night President and Mrs. Roosevelt will gather around them the formers official advisers and their families, with about an equal number of other distinguished guests

big financiers who disagree with him as to what constitutes legitimate rail- road business is smaller today than ever before. There are still few who are anti-Rooseyelt, and the soon CT these few understand that they are also anti-country. the better it will be for them. The people fully agree with the general view of the president that there is no reason in the world why a railroad should not be conduct ed along the same honest. and iegiti- mate lines that obtain in a high-class retail business. Honesty is what we want honest values, honest charges. honest profits; and if there is any railroad or other corporation magnate who dissents from this, he will either change his mind presently, or butt his head off against stone wall.
 Theodore Roosevelt is standing pat upon this corporation control ques- ton; the country is with him; the policy will be carried out. Honest corporation heads have reason to re joice. The other kind might as well reform. for they are thoroughly dis. credited in public opinion.

PRACTICAL SOCIALISM.

At least one wealthy man has tried practical socialism and has expert. enced failure The fact that he resided in Europe aignifies nothing. as the same plan if put into execution here would have the same results, The story is told in a cable from Milan, Italy. as follows
 Duke Pompeo Litta. the last mem Der of an historical Lombard family, is for the moment the most disappoint- ed man in this city. Eight years ago he settled down here in the ancient castles of his ancestors, having until then traveled abroad During his wanderings he became acquainted with the leaders of German socialism especially Herren Rebel and yollnar, and became convert to their doe trines.
 Upon arriving at his ancestral home he resolved to give proof of his faith. Accordingly. he withdrew all his large estate surrounding his mansion from the occupying tenants and handed it over for cultivation to 1s7 peasant families working on the estate as la borers, forming them into an agricui- tural colony on socialistic lines. He charged the new, occupants trihing rents. which only aggregated ss,oO0 for the whole large colony. At first the experiment produced excellent results, and the economicai condition of the peasants improved greatly. Duke Litta re3oiced at the success of his altruism. but prosperity proyed the undoing of the colony. The peasants grew idle. neglected to till the land and began to cut down the timber, which it had been mutually agreed should not be touched. Disa- greements with the proprietor OF this subject led to the rise of the agitator among the community. the members of which were induced to claim abso- lute ownership of the estate, and re fused to work.
 The duke, deeply wounded by the
 ingrasItude of his benehcsarses, ac- Anowiedses snat his dream has an Ilshed- He believes that the ignorance of inc peasansry makes coIlectivism impossible at present Nevertheless he does not yet abandon the hope of a Igoiden age in the future. and mean IwhAe he E taking the practical course cf applying U inc tribunals 10 insure Itias uadlzputea posssession of hls es- tstes

new constitution unconstitutional 2 They did not make much headway along these lines. and then they began to howl that they were being robbed of their liberty by an outrageous wip- ing out of county lines and the crea- ton of new county lines, and this howl has attracted the ear of Washington and may induce the president to re- fuse to sanction the constitution, thus abrogating The enabling act.
 Referring to the situation, Wash ingten correspondent of the Oklahoma State Capital says: One thing was clearly ascretainel by the visit Of a delegation of prominent Oklahoma re publicans to Washington, and that is that a new enabling act can be passed through congress within ninety days after December I. next, and if the peo- pie of Indian Territory want the laws of Oklahoma thrown over Indian Ter ritory. with the county officers elected by the people, the bill can be passed. .
 Now, isn't that cute? If the peo- pie of Indian Territory will be good Roosevelt will veto the act that gives them joint statehood with Oklahoma and will pass another bill through congress that will make Oklahoma a state and will give Indian Territory permission to use the Oklahoma laws and elect county officers, but will not allow Indian Territory a voice in the election of state or national officers. And the dear, unsophisticated people of Indian Territory are expected to swallow this dose and look happy, simply because the republican pollti- clans want to fix up things in such 8 way as to make Oklahoma safely re publican
 If the republican party undertakes such an infamous political scheme as this it will be wiped of of the map fin the election of 1908. and it will never be able to pass such a measure through congress. The party lash is not strong enough to whip the decent men into line on such a vicious propo- sition.
 And while the administration is trying to accomplish this infamy. Ari- zona and New Mexico will enter the fight for statehood again and there will be another rattling of dry bones.

TIE STREET RAILWAY FRANCHISE ELECTION.

The street railway franchise eiec- Hon is twelve days distant, and at asis writing the indications are that ahe franchise agreement arranged be tween the Warren Street Railway company and the City Council will be endorsed by the qualified voters by not less than eighty-fve per cent ma sor5ty.
 More public spirit has been aSak' eued by this proposition than any oth- CT municipal improvement proposed since Bisbee has been an incorporated city. Public meetings have been held from Johnson Addition to Upper Tombstone canyon; the Chamber of Commerce and the Bisbee Board of Trade have endorsed the proposition; a Josnt meeting between citizens and ssse City Council resulted in thor cngh understanding of the desires of she people and the intentions of the CoanciI, and those who, on first read ing of the franchise, were opposed to fhe proposition, after a thorough un' derstanding have become it's most en. zbusiastic supporters.

The extreme Limits of the district would thus be connected by an easy. cheap and con xe1sent means of transportation. with she business center of Bisbee the hub.

A definition of prosperity is not so easy. but it Will be a help to make a
 note of some things that have claimed
 to be it's basis. The ups and downs 'of Wall street are not the regulator of good or bad times. Wall street
 may pass through a season of liquiGa-
 ton, with a heavy decline in specuIa-
 tive values, and the country in gen |eral keep on it's busy course without taking much interest in the fortunes of the bulls and bears, says the St.
 Louis Giobe-Democrat. Squeezing the
 water out of inflated deals and schemes is an aid to sound prosperi-
 sy. Along with the Wall street fur ry comes the statement that on Janu-
 ary 1. last, the deposits in the say ings banks of New York.state stood at
 si,ses.es5.sss, an increase in a year of sse, ,o9o.ee. These are dollars of full. stable value, payable on demand. and are owned by 2.ss5.ses persons. The
