The message refers to the great progress made by thai munici pality during the year Just ended and ijecromfljtnda a number of improvements for the council to inaugurate during the coming year. One of the most impor tant. of these is the establishment of municipal lighting plant,, for which the mayor believes the time is now ripe. - lie says he Is at present working on a specific plan for the consummation of this object and thai he will soon submit this to the. council. Following, In part, Is the message: "It is a matter of regret that .the people were not more fully acquainted with the inadequate facilities the city has had for some time for the sanitary disposal of its refuse.- I believe that it was through lack of information on the subject that they rejected the bond ' issue providing for another Incinerator at the recent special election. , - "At the present time the city of Port land Is operating only one garbage cre matory. I am Informed that this is : the only city of Us Blse In the entire country that is handicapped In this manner. Seattle has three destroyers, , and even the city of Vancouver, B. C, wlth little more than one half our pop ulation, is operating three." . "Because of the great increase In the amount of refuse to be taken care of, which necessitates the operation of the -- crematory both night and day, it is necessary that prompt action be taken to meet conditions. I recommend that, without further delay, steps be taken for resubmitting this most important -question to the voters. V.. ,'!. Dumping Grounds inadequate, f "Another problem that must be solved 1 by the administration is the great need 1 of adequate dumping places for the street cleaning department, and for the deposit of non-combustible refuse hauled to the crematory, as well as for the large amount of ashes and clinker taken. dally from the burners. "An immense amount of rubbish Is gathered daily from the streets of the city. During the year the street clean ing department alone had to dispose of '76,732 .cubic yards of dirt. Added to this is the great.amount of refuse .from the crematory which cannot be con sumed In the burners. Most of . the dumping grounds at present Utilised by these departments are fast becoming filled, and prompt action is necessary to meet this new emergency. With this filling of all V the available jumping places close in, it win require a longer 'hauV.wb.lch will mean a large item of vnense ''added 'for- the city's street cleanlng department.

President and Mrs., jTaft and Presi dent and, Mrs. Roosevelt made a num ber of changes In the White House so cial seasons and in the manner of con ducting social affairs. Although some entertainments have been conducted In the same general manner for so long that It is considered unlikely they will be altered, the social procedure at the White House is not so fixed by tradi tion that 'It cannot be altered to suit the master and mistress of the man sion. In many ways the traditions of eti quette which surround the president and his family are more strict than those surrounding' royal families in Europe. For Instance, the presidents never go to the station to meet royal visitors, no matter how distinguished they may be, nor pay the first call. In Europe It Is customary for royalties personally to meet other royalties at the train when they arrive for a visit." President Roosevelt broke the tradi tion that.no president should ever leave American soil, by going to Panama, and President Taft followed in his steps, president Taft broke another social tra dition when he dined in June, 1909, with the French ambassador, M. Jus serand. Before that no American president had gone into a foreign lega tion or embassy, this being considered foreign soil. - , President-elect Wilson announced only lafst week that he Intends break ing a tradition which, though not of a social character, has nevertheless been very strict He declared that he will not epforce the rule that the president must not be quoted In the first person In interviews. The breaking of this rule by a foreign Journalist In writing an interview with president Taft caused some unpleasantness1 not many months ago.

But Mr. Edey spoiled it all by getting his wife to come back , for a reconciliation.

PROGRESSIVE PARTY Denounces Bull ' Moose Creed for Class Hatred and Un- -balanced Fanaticism. ' ' (United Pra Laaaed Wire.)- New York. Jan. 4. Insisting that the Republican party was successful In its defeat because it had prevented the success of the Progressive party with. Its creed Of "class hatred, unbalanced fanaticism," and its chimerical prom ise of an Ideal Impossible to realize,". President Taft tonight at the "rehabili tation banquet of the Republican party at the Waldorf-Astoria, urged hJBhear ers to "buckle on their armor for the battle for humanity and the common people," that must be fought four years hence1. . When the president, flushed and ve hement, paused, after a-long-attack-upon the Progressives, the great ball room was rent with Wild cheers. Nap kins were thrown iii the air and were tossed from the galleries, crowded with diners. For five minutes the din con tinued intermittently and was nlv silenced after Toastmaster Olcott hail ' repeatedly rapped f or silence. " The president reviewed at length his administration and declared that he had, to the best of his ability, followed out the platform upon which" he was elected. Tho defeat of many of hia measures, ha laid to personal dislike which he characterised as "Taf topho bla," and that many representatives and senators' felt for him. This condition of affairs, he said, was brought abouf' because, through the help of old-time Republicans "who were called reaction aries," he had secured the passage of much .valuable legislation, --'-'In-tdaing " so," he said, "I was brought Into oppo sition with a faction that baa beconi Insurgent and declined to follow the leadership of the dominant party." ' The major, part of the president's ad dress was devoted to the assumption; of 1 a position against the Progrr.vUe party and the principles It advocate. In bitter, terms he predicted that if the Progressive partj? elected, - .upon in present platform, a. national ticket, it would mean "th engulfing of- popular government in a storm of class hatred and contempt for constitutional rights. Defining an "Insurgent,", the-presi-. dent sarcastfcally remarked that there was little that was personal In the ap plication.

"Why," he continued, "slncei we were beaten In the last race; since we ran third, are we here with so much spirit? Is it not that in spite of the defeat recorded In . November we were still victorious In saving our country from an administration whose policy involved . sapping the foundations of democratic constitutional, . representative govern ment, and whose contempt for the lim itations of constitutional law and the guarantees of ' civil . liberty ' promise chaos and anarchy in a country that has, to this time, been the model of individual freedom and popular govern ment r , , ' .; "It Is true (hat we were defeated by our oldttme opponents the Democrats ' party.
