SOCIALISM TRIED
PROVES FAILURE

ROME. June 24-An experiment IN
socialism, undertaken by Duke rom
mao Iitta in Lombardy, has proved
that the Italian peasant is not ripe Ior
ntopian schemes for his betterment'
After eight years Of socialism, tne
duke is applying to the courts 10 re-
gain possession Of his land, which ne
hoa Let in small lots at a nominal rent
to peasant families.
when the duke inaugurated his lano
reform he had come from Germany
,,t,ere he had imbibed socialistic ideas
FROM, Rebel and the other German So
cialtsts Their teachings he put INTO
nrac+ice on his return to the ancient
estate of his ancestors, where tne
neasants still live in sort OF feuoai
state. .s
IRA dispossessed the large tenants
80 their holdings and divided them ur
- ,a7 families Of the peasants for cui-
Itivation. At first The scheme was sue
lcassfrl and the peasants prospereo
hut recently they became indolent, ans
abandoning their crops, began TO Gu
down the woods. which the duke MAJ
stipulated should be left untouched.
The peasants were also tampere'
with by socialist delegates, who urge
them to claim ownership and refuse =
work. This brought about the nna
failure of Duke Pompeo's dream OF 30
c,alism. He is stiIl hopeful. howevei
that he win be able to introduce
genuine and permanent reform In n

DRASTIC LAWS
SOON IN FORCE
Texas Legislation Enacted
That Will RevOlutiOnize
Lone Star State

Ell PASO, Tex, June 24.-Three m
portant and drastic pieces of legisla-
ton will become operative in a short
time, when the Texas anti-bucketshop,
Jim Grow street car and anti-pass
laws are put into effect.
The bucket shop law will not only
close the bucket shops, but every So
called legitimate brokerage house IN
the state even those having member
ship on the Chicago and New York ex-
changes.
The Jim Crow car law will make 1t
necessary for every street car COM
pany in the state to provide separate
compartments for negroes and Whites
The anti-pass law makes it penal
ty for any person other than a rail-
road employee OF clergyman to accept a
pass and a felony for railroad ofn-
cial to give a pass to anyone not an
employe of the road or in the exempt
class, which. class practically applies
only to clergymen or persons connect
ed with elymosynary institutions ana
charitable institutions.
| AS to the former law, all the brokers
in the state are preparing to quit
business, with the possible exception
of the Ell Paso exchange, which may
move across the river to Mexico. The
matter is now being investigated, and
if the company can use the wire and
it's use is not prohibited for such
concern as in the state Of Pennsyi-
vania, it will open on the other SIDE
of the international border. For the
lothers, however, there is nothing to do
but to get out.
The Jim Grow law for street cars Is
one of the most drastic pieces OF leg
Iislation the state has ever enacted.
Such a law has been operative on
trains in the state for several years.
but, owing to the size of the coaches'
it was not difficult to provide separate
COMMITMENTS In the case OF street
l. cars, however, it will be rather olln-
cult, and the street car officials are
expecting considerable difficulty III
complying with the law. In open cars
several seats in the rear will be SCI
aside and sign placed on the dividing
seat. but in the closed or winter cars
there will be trouble.
The anti-pass law applies not only
to railroads, but to street car INES
telegraph lines telephone lines and al
such common carriers" The officials
will not find any difficulty in enforcing
4 this law and are looking forward u

IRE in enforcing the law" said Genera
Manager Kellogg of the street ca
company and this is the way the ran
road officials all talk. Nobody WI

of the railroads in Texas, and to De
employe the person, the law says, mus
earn his livelihood entirely from Tn
railroad. Members of this person

.ARMBRUSTER'S PLEASANT
WAYS.

Councilman Armbruster Is a
humorist He has system of re.
ducing his jokes to writing and call
ing them ordinances" Even the
children laughed over the building
ordinance. but the attest Is an ordi.
nance to make void the franchise OF
the Northwest Light a. Water com.
pany This will cause more fun,
sport and amusement in five minutes
than all of John Cort's pet comedi-
ans. The esteemed councilman from
the west side has announced his as
pirations to be mayor of the city.
and following ON its heels he Is re-
sponsible for the ordinance men,
toned above. 1t does not require
much observation to see the connec-
ton and to find therein a political
play. Since the time Armbruster pu:
forth a vapid mass of matter which
mean nothing and could accomplish
nothing toward giving the city a
municipally-owned water plant, he
has done nothing quite SO funny as
this. In the first place 1t might be
we'll for Councilman Armbruster to
explain just what would happen to
the city If the ordinance giving the
light and water company a fran
chise were repealed. Where would
the city get is water? How could
fires be handled? Has any provision
been made for furnishing the city
with water if the present company is
put out of business? The ordinance
states the meters of the water COM
pany are defective, and as a result
there IS an overcharge. How does
the esteemed councilman from the
west side know that the meters are
defective? Has the city an in
spector who has visited the meters
and pronounced them so? Has the
city any method of determining the
meters to be defective? The ordin-
ance states that the water pressure
has been low. Was the water pressure
low on the night Of the Varian hotel
fire, when 1t was so easily ex-
tinguished and the city saved from
q disastrous conflagration? The
ordinance is merely another one OK
Armbruster's little pleasantries.
There must Of necessity be someone
in the council to furnish a little fun
when the routine drags out and the
hours seem long. Armbruster has
proven to be an ideal jester, merry
maker with his ordinances. The or
dinance introduced by Armbruster as
political play will no doubt pass
into oblivion with the ordinances Of
the past which have created their
little smile and thus fulfilled theic
mission. Here's to Armbruster, jolly
good fellow and jokesmith!

The general trend Of the markets
seems to be quite steady at present
with all indications of remaining 30
for a while at least. II present con-
ditions are any sign. Hay seems to
have been about the only commodity
that has been affected. II is a lit
tie higher than a few days ago. with
a general tendency to become firmer.
Fruits have varied but little. apples
are moving slowly. as growers are
holding on with hopes of a better
price. With the exception OF the fall
and winter varieties. the pear season
is rapidly nearing an end. Prunes
are also becoming scarce and II will
be matter OF a short time until
they are entirely on the market.
Meats. dairy products and country
produce seem almost stationary in
price, having varied but little within
several weeks time.
