INVITATION A
 PERSONAL ONE
Judge Baldwin "Invited to Meet Colonel Roosevelt" Which
 He Could Not do
HAD BEARING ON ACTION
Being Unable to Accept Under Circumstances.

The point Of view of Governor elect Simeon E. Baldwin in declin- ing to attend the banquet of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce last evening. is made apparent when the exact wording of the invitation for the event is taken into considera- tion. The invitation did not read as an invitation to attend the chambers annual banquet! nor was any refer ence to that event made directly m it. The cards invited the recipient "to meet the Honorable Theodore Roosevelt" In consideration of the strained relations between. the Gov ernor-elect and the Ex-President and in view of the fact that attempts to reach an understanding have so far proved futile, it became matter of dist'nct personal considerat on in view of the personal character of the in- vitation.
 Judge Baldwin was at his home in Wall street last evening and retired early, in accordance with his usual custom. All he would say to the re- porter of the Journal-Courier when interviewed was: T shall not attend
 Asked as to what his engagements were for tonight he said that he was to attend a private assembly, something that would not interest the newspapers in the slightest, and that on Thursday morning he will leave for Washington, where he will deliver a speech before the American Society for Judicial Settlement of In- ternational Disputes. He VIII also speak in Baltimore.
 Judge Bald wins manner of dispos- ing of the Roosevelt dinner proposi- tion was not one of a man in anger, but rather that of a man who had done his best to bring about a satis- factory conclusion of the relations between himself and Colonel Roose- velt
 Failing in this. Judge Baldwin found that, following the ideas pro- mulgated in Roosevelt's Concord speech. and in view of his threatened suit for islander against Colonel Roosevelt. and in the absence of any retraction from Colonel Roosevelt. there was nothing for him to do but to remain away from the dinner.
 Judge Baldwin did not say this Tn as many words last nieht. but he did say that he had written a letter to President Ullman. of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce. which thor oughly expressed his views on this matter.
 It is expected that Judge Baldwin will return from Washington on Sat urday.~

sTRUST-BUSTING"
 ONE EFFECTIVE METHOD

The Department of Justice has been. according to the annual report Of its head. especially active in the work of 'strus. busting. though 1t does not appear to have yet busted" many of them. There are. however. now pend- ing, or in course of preparation. suits against number of alleged trusts among them the Tobacco. Standard oil. Sugar. Hard Coal. Powder. Beef Butter and Egg. Brick and Bath Tub trusts. The final disposition of these suits depends largely upon the coming decisions of the U. s. Supreme Court In the Standard Oil and Tobacco cases. If seems to be the belief of Wall Street that if decisions adverse to these trusts are rendered they will find means of adapting their affairs to the new con- ditions without Interruption or dam age to their business.
 In one case only. that of the Amer 4can Naval Stores Company. commonly Known as the Turpentine trust. has the principle of the personal liability of trust magnates been established. Six of the defendants have been convicted of violations of the anti-trust law. with fines and jail sentences for two of them. It is the belief Of many public men that only through the per sonal liability principle can the trust evil be effectually souelched. Impris- onment of trust magnates is real pun- ishment: fines imposed upon the cor pora ions punish only the stockholders. many of whom are wholly innocent and looking only for safe investments.
 It is to be hoped that the Depart ment of Justice. having succeeded in esta blishing the principle of personal liability under the antitrust law. will proeeed to apply it in all proceedings against trusts.

"cuss" the management of the service We all do 1t. That brings us down to the point so often urged by the Cour- ant-that no money-making corpora tion should have the street. car busi- ness. It belongs to the community. If it were so held, then when people "cussed" they would be cussing them- selves or their own representatives and the responsibility would come back to themselves. It Is common talk and belief that the buying up of the trolley companies through the State by the steam railroad company was an act of self-presedvation. prompted by the de- sire to make impossible any hos ile combination of the several lines into through routes. If each line had be- could have been no fear of any such combination.
 Perhaps. President Mellen of the N.
 Y, N. H. & H. Railroad Company had this remedy of municipal ownership
 in mind when he offered to sell to he city all the local lines at cost. If the
 price were not so high above the real
 cost of construction and equipment.
 the city might do we'll to accept the
 offer. There are cities which own and
 operate. or lease. their street railways
 and which not only profit largely
 thereby but are enabled to adjust the
 service to the needs of the public
 more fully than do any private corpor- ations.
 We are inclined to the belief that eventually the cities of this country
 will own and operate all their public
 services. to the betterment of all par
 ties concerned And the sooner that happy time arrives. the sooner must
 the people "cuss' themselves only when those services go wrong.

During the coming week when ev- aryone is busy with holiday shopping and the stores are open during the evening there will be great con geetion in all the restaura nts and nating places. Business women who nave but a limited time for lunch will doubtless find it hard to secure prompt service both at noon and at night, therefore, the Young women's Christian Associa ton will, during the week beginning December 18th serve 2 simple lunch for the accommoda- ton of the women who may be thus -ituated. Sandwiches. hot cocoa, Haked beans. boullion and other ap- petizfng dishes will be served at five rents portion. Those who wish to bring their own lunches, buying hot "ocoa or boullion are quite at liberty to do so. The association is here to serve the young woman of Bridge port and seeks to make their. strenu- ous week as easy as possible for all concerned. Use its parlors, it's books, it's comforta able couches and chairs and try the lunch room. Everything will be homemade. Do not forget he place, 1087 Broad street, one flight up.

THE TAXPAYERS LEAGUE
 AMENDMENTS

It Is with pleasure that the Farmer halls the decision of the Taxpayers League to submit its proposed amend ments of the city charter to the public for discussion. instead of surrepti- tiously formulating and presenting them to the Legislature. Their pre- sentation to the public indicates a dis position to give at least careful con- sideration to possible criticisms.
 For years. the Farmer has urged that charter amendments should only go to Hartford with the approval of the Mayor and Aldermen as the direct ly authorized representatives of the people. and we find no valid reason in the present situation for change of opinion. The merits or demerits Taxpayers League do not figure in this position.
 The amendment relative to the May !. orally. outlined by the league but not yet formulated. will probably awaken more discussion than the others. It is modelled largely upon the commits sion plan now in effect in many cities. Its substantial effect is to invest the Mayor with a direct responsibility for the acts of his appointees. and to make him. in turn. directly responsible to the people through the recall prin- ciple. At present. members of com- missions are removable only by the Board of Aldermen through a two thirds vote: it is proposed to confer this power upon the Mayor.
 We are not aware of the ultimate purpose of the Taxpayers League. but the indications are that eventually 1t will urge adoption of the commission plan in full. Possibly. 1t refrains from doing so now. in the belief that good policy dictates the plan of gradual ap- breaches.
 But whatever the facts. whatever the merits. and whatever the ultimate intention. the league is fairly entitled to commendation for laying it's hand upon the board'' and for invi ing the full sunlight of publicity"

The first formal protest in Connec- ticut against the commission plan of city government. comes from the Tor rington Socialists. They do. how ever. favor some of the provisions which usually accompany il-the initia- tive. recall and referendum upon three or five per cent bases. These arc really the more important features of the commission plan as adopted in nearly 100 cities: in fact. few thinking men would approve the plan unless they were incorporated in it. l. is not impossible to carry them into ef- feet under the present systems of city government in use in this State. bul to do so would necessitate considerable amending of charters.
