An odd fact to note is that "Ooozy
Bilr' Hunteman is leading base stealer
of the league, having pilfered eleven
sacks. Hunteman is by no means
fast man, but in some way he purloins
the bases with ease.
The most feared batter in the league
is Andy Walker. In the game with
National Union Monday, the National
Union twirIer, put one low and Andy
clouted it for. three bases; the next

Gov. Baldwin Says He Would Accept
Not Seeking Nomination For President But Wouldn't Decline Honor

Gov. Simeon B. Baldwin will accept Presidency or the Vice-Presidency if it should come to him.
 That statement the New Haven Jour- nal-Courier makes this morning upon no less authority than the Governor himself
 The New York Herald on Sunday in a dispatch from Bridgeport declared that Governor Baldwin had authoriz- ed Senator Archibald McNeil of Bridgeport to boom his candidacy for the Presidency. The Governor s friends were little skeptical of the truth of that dispatch and yesterday to a Journal-Courier man Governor Baldwin showed that the skepticism was well founded.
 The Governor was shown a copy of the Herald despatch and was asked if it was correct in stating that he was an avowed candidate for the presi- dential nomination and had authorized Senator McNeil to make such a state ment. He replied:
 Senator McNeil must have been misunderstood by the reporter from whom the despatch emanated.
 T have had a conversation with Senator McNeil within a few days, in which he was kind enough to mention my name in connection with the Pres idency. I said to him, as [ have said to several others who have approach ed me with reference to the Vice-Pres- idency:
 "T am not a candidate for any office whatsoever, but should it so happen that nomination for one of the offices mentioned should come to me from the Democratic party, I cer- tainly should not decline it.

Stamford Men Held
 In $3,OOO Result
 Of DistiIIery Raid

New Haven, Nov. 7-Before U. S. Commissioner Wright yesterday after noon there was concluded the hearing in the cases of the six Stamford men accused of defrauding the government by avoiding the payment Of the tax on distilled spirits.
 The defendants were Paul Berman, Joshua Ellis, Reuben Ellis, Michael Pobagolo, Nicholas Fresheivic and John Ervasky. By slipping additional bot ties of spirits into broken packages on which the duties had been paid, the officials alleged the men cheated the government out of s1,5OO a week since last December.
 To save the men from being held for trial in the Federal court wig orous defense was submitted. The government had dozens of witnesses, including the crowd of federal officers who made a spectacular midnight raid on the distillery last week. As con- clusion all of the prisoners were ad- mitted to $3,000 bail. All furnished bail except in the case of German. The trial will come up in the United States district court on the first Tuesday of the December term.
 The license for the distillery was taken out in the name of Joshua Ellis Revenue Agents Carter and Smith l testified to the effect that the govern | ment was being systematic de- | frauded of considerable revenue tax
 The government claims that materia 1 was brought to the distillery suffi- 1 cient to make 10000 gallons of brandy | and that only 5000 gallons paid the ! tax. At that rate, it is estimated that
 the government must have lost con l siderably over $40,O00 as the tax is
 $165 per gallon. It is thought the dis tillery was making about 600 gallons | of brandy a day.

It was proposed to inf1ict an ex- pense of $150 upon every family in Bridgeport without more ado.
 After three years -of unsuccessful effort to put this outrageously ex- rayagant scheme into effect, it was abandoned and a majority of the committee recommending it signed a declaration in favor of the modified system.
 This declaration was an unques- tionable admission that the commit tee had blundered in favoring the $3,O00.000 expenditure under the earlier plan.

 The objections to the modified sys tenn are that it establishes thousand of feet of eight inch sewers, which vii require frequent attention to kee] them open.

of the people with the sort of g deal | they have been getting, in the na- ton, in Connecticut, everywhere. Party leaders have arisen in the General Assembly to declare that a party promise means nothing, that the platform is a mere device for getting votes. Party leaders have entered the Common Council with the assertion that party promises mean nothing, that they are to be broken when a 1 few individuals can profit by the breaking, and that they may be re- tracted at will.
 Democrats and Republicans must grasp this truth
 THERE IS NO PARTY TRAITOR so DESPERATELY DANGEROUS AS THE PARTY OFFICER WHO TRAFFICss IN THE PARTY POW FER.
 Democratic and Republican office holders must learn that nothing threatens their jobs so much as the actions of men who want party power to sell 1t.
 There is a lesson that the public service corporations may learn. If they continue to assail the rights of private property through franchise grabs wtung from legislatures, through contracts wrung from Com mon Councils through watered stock, through unreasonable rates, through lobbyists and mercenaries posing as party men, they will "sow the wind 1 to reap the whirlwind.'' 1 The source of the inflated socialist vote in Bridgeport today is De Yer H.

THE OPPONENTS OF THE HERRING
 = SYSTEM SAVED CITY MILLIONS

It fs not to the credit of the Com mon Council that in the expiring hours of the present, board it damned through the modified Herring especially after the aldermen had been placed in possession of facts showing exclusively the unwisdom of their action, by Hon. zalmon Goodsell and U. s. Commissioner E. B. Peck.
 The truth is that the promoters of the Herring system have forfeited their right to consideration in this matter, by their blunder of over whelming magnitude in recommend ing the first Herring system.
 These gentlemen had, prior to their . offer of the modified Herring plan solemnly assured the people oi Bridgeport, that the sewer system oi the city was in very bad shape, that it would be necessary to expend al once, or in the near future, $3,OO0,. 900, the money to be raised by bond issues.
 They assured the citizens that s1,- 750,00O must be expended, at the rate of $350,000 year for five years That the balance, to make $3,O0O, 900 must be put into the system at ar -zrly period after the completion o1 the first part of the work.
 This costly plan provided fol pumping stations. It contemplated . removal of the sewage some three miles into the Sound. and the deposi of the waste in the midst of valuable oyster grounds.
 No estimate of the cost of takin: these grounds was given. No esti mate of the cost of maintenance wa given.

stitutional. It is judicial.
 Some court have elected to say that the clause .forbidding the takins of private property without due pro- cess of law forbids the compensation of injured working gmen. Other courts have found otherwise.
 The process in the former case is that of stretching highly generalized language to cover the views the. court entertains.
 The present efforts to reform" the judiciary, which have been em bodied in the constitutions of several states, and which are enunciated from the lips of the most powerful statesmen in the nation are the out growth of a feeling that the function of the judges is to interpret law and not to make it.
