BALDWIN is MIFFEO.
Governor-EIect Stays Away From Ne1
Haven Annual Banquet.

New Haven, Conn-Governor-e lec.
Simeon E Baldwin was not pres,
ent at the annual banquet of the
Ney Haven chamber of commerce fos
the reason that he had refused to sft
at the same table with Theodore
Roosevelt
Till the last, however, the governor
refused to tell whether or not rs
would attend the banquet and there
were a few Of the diners who felt
confident that Judge Baldwin would
put in an eleventh hour appearance at
the banquet hail.
Officials Of the chamber here, how
ever, had been notified. Neither they
nor Judge Baldwin wished it known
that he had refused to attend the
banquet because any definite an
| nouncement of such action by him
would have resulted in stampede by
the Democratic members of the cham
Der and SO many of them would have
followed the governor in refusing to
attend that the banquet would have
been a fizzle.
There were 700 present when
Colonel Roosevelt entered the Yale
dining hall, where the feasting was
| held. At the speakers table were
Colonel Roosevelt, Col. Isaac Ullman,
president Of the chamber Of COM
| merce; President A. T. Hadley Of
Yale, Secretary Arson Phelps Stokes.
Jr.; Chief Justice Frederick B. Hall
| OF Bridgeport, former Gov. r. S.
| Woodruff. former Gov. P. G. Louns-
bury and Mayor Frank ]. Rice.
| Colonel Roosevelt was greeted with
| cheers, which lasted fully a minute,
when he rose to speak. ut seems to
| me that nothing could be a better
augury of the future of this country"

| dent | shall propose two toasts: First,
to President Taft. and second, to that

After the toasts had been drunk
Colonel Roosevelt said he was glad
to say in New Haven precisely what
he had said to many former gather
ings in the west" Colonel Roosevelt
said that during the last half of the
last century people had concerned
themselves with the accumulation of
material well being, thinking it's dis
tribution would take care of itself But
the people had come to see, he added
that they must concern themselves
with an equitable distribution of

The sheer waste in this country is
Appalling Our working men get less
comfort and enjoyment out of given
expenditure than the Workmen OF
France; the same is true of our mid
die classes as a whole; our local au7
thorities muddle away money; our I'M
perial concerns are extravagantiy
managed; our manufacturers throw.
money into the sewers or into the
atmosphere and destroy more money
I'm the process. It is not the com
parative luxury among us so much as
the comparative waste that strikes
people who intelligently observe the
ways of other nations. A very good
defense may be set up for those re-
ffnements of life which collectively
are termed luxury, says the London
Times. But for waste there is absoi
lutely no defense possible, and the
real Indictment against us as a ma
ticn is that we stupidity fail to obtain
the luxury and the pleasure which our
expenditure might procure.
