The banqueting hall presented most
inspiring appearance. Brilliantly illumi-
mated and handsomely decorated as 1t was,
all the guests in full evening dress, mirth
and hilarity the prevailing elements, and
over all floating the enhancing strains of
the orchestra, the whole made up scene
and occasion of elegance, we'll BETTING
that organization which stands for the
good of the business and industrial inter
ests of New Haven.
At about 10 o'clock T. Attwater Barnes,
president of the chamber of commerce
called the banquet to order and spoke as
follows:
Gentlemen and members of the chamber
of commerce, tonight would have been
the regular monthly meeting night of the
chamber, and therefore take the liberty
of introducing little business at this
time. At the last meeting Mr.. Hender
son spoke on partnerships" It was
then voted to appoint acommittee to draft
a bill and present 1t to the legislature with
his paper as its basis. I now announce
the committee as follows: George Hender-
son, Edward E. Bradley, Henry G. White,
J. M. Manson, Livingston W. cleveland.
Proceeding, he added 1t gives me pleas
annual banquet; but wish also to speak
few words concerning the outlook for
new industries here in New Haven. There
are four industries before the chamber now
which, with little help, it is thought
could be built up. ask you to contribute
of your money to help these weak and
struggling business enterprises. The cham
Der of commerce tries to do its duty, but
1t cannot do all. 1t needs your help and
support.
Mr.. Barnes then introduced Colonel o.
born as toastm aster, who, after a few re-
marks, introduced the first speaker of the
evening, Senator Joseph r. Hawley, who
spoke as follows:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen-The pres
idency is a great office-the ruler of a ma
40, o$ nm oE, nd IN
become 100, 100000. He has more power
than any monarch on earth. Whoever
goes into that Office, gentlemen, ought to
have the good will of the American people.
He has been chosen by their sovereign vote
and stands absolutely alone in that Office.
The final responsibility rests wholly on
him, no matter if he has as capable Sec
Rotary Of state as James q. Blaine. Every
generous citizen of the United States ought
to feel bound to sustain him in a certain
broad, generous and American sense. The
gentleman who is to come in next spring
has, in my mind, peculiarly difficult
task, commend him to the generous con-
sideration of the gentlemen of the New
Haven chamber of commerce. We have
had twenty-four presidents in our history
and they have been line of greater men
than any line of monarchs or rulers of any
other nation whatever. So, gentlemen, in
drinking your toast drink not to any one
president-I drink to the presidents of 100
years, to the president of to-day and to
his SUCCESSORS; ditto to the governor. I
speak of him with kind consideration,
notwithstanding the criticism of the
people. He is our standard bearer and
our great leader and it is our duty to sup
port him."
Colonel Osborn then introduced Cover
nor-elect Luzon B. Morris, who spoke to
the following purport: ''The chamber of
commerce is organized for developing the
industries of the city of New Haven. And
what is being done for the city of New
Haven may properly be done for the state
of Connecticut. The commercial interests
of Connecticut are very important. But
they are not taking the leading position in
the country which they formerly did. In
regard to our educational institutions, we
have right to be proud. I suppose that
Yale was never go prosperous as now.
But something more must be done for our
business and commercial interests.
Professor Arthur T. Hadley of Yale
university was then introduced to respond
to the toast. ''Yale university" He said
in part: cit is the disadvantage of every
great educational institution like the
chamber of commerce or Yale university,
to be Judged by its material results. Thus
President Dwight appears to the public as
great teacher of football rushers while
President Barnes appears as a great giver
of dinners, which he is. President dwight
appears with football in one hand and q
baseball club in the other, while Presi-
dent Barnes appears with a magnum
of champagne in each hand. But we want
the chamber of commerce to know Yale
aud Yale to know the cham her of COM
MERGE. And am glad to say that they are
year by year becoming more and more in
touch. Yale and New Haven are working
together, and are part of the same thing.
We need another And as each year goes
on this state of things is more and more
realized; that we in theory and you in
practice are doing the same thing.
Amos P. Wilder was then introduced,
who made one of his characteristic witty
speeches, causing considerable merriment
by his bright sllusions. He then gave some
very interesting facts and figures concern
ing the development of Immigration Of
foreign peoples, and closed his speech
with glowing tribute to Connecticut.
Clarence Deming was then called to re-
spond to the toast. "The Press" He said:
Since I spoke to you years ago, there have
been certain changes to me personally. I
have graduated from the coneerva-
tive Offices, such as Messrs. Wilder
and Osborn represent, and thus I
stand before you as sort of q
curiosity from the journalistic museum.
There have been vast changes in newspaper
work in the last twenty years, which have
tended to cheaper papers. What does this
change mean in the futures confess do
not know. There is another process going
on in newspaper work which may have es-
capped your notice. That Is the centraliza-
ton of ownership. A paper is usually
started a. a stock company and gradually
the power is centralized. And this unity
ing of the control of q newspaper con-
stitutes one of the evils which the
newspaper of the future has to guard
against. Not one of you knows what
the editor of q paper suffers. Little
things, little mistakes, proof error, all
gall and worry him. And not an editor
can have too much advice from outside.
It is an error and grievous mistake to say
that the editor makes the paper. It Is you.
It Is the public. If q paper is bad It IL
because bad constituency stands behind
It, and If 1t is good 1t is because good ell
ement supports it. So long as the public
demands q pure press just so long will the
press fill tho demand.
Rev. ]. 81. Mason, pastor of the First
Baptist church, was then introduced.
Rev. John 81. Mason, pastor of the
First Baptist church, responded to the
toast, "Christian citizenship" He said
in part: IT have been asked to speak on
Christian citizenship. And my first
thought is that Christian citizenship
means much, especially here in America.
