THE NEW HAVEN SHOULD AID
 ITSELF BEFORE STATE AIDS IT

IF T WOULD BE just if the Public Utilities 1 commission should deny the petition of the New Haven Company, which asks to be relieved of the duty of abolishing grade cross ings, for lack of funds
 The lack of funds was occasioned by mis- management This mismanagement occurred while the system was supervised by a board Of directors. This board of directors continues to exist, and continues to be composed largely of the same men who formerly composed it. That is to say, those who mismanaged the road are still in charge.
 It is true that Mr. Elliott has succeeded MT. Mellen. But this does not necessarily imply 8 change of management. While MT. Mellen was at the head of the system, those who read about him in Connecticut newspapers got the notion he was the actual head.
 When he was displaced he himself said, in effect he was no more than an aggrandized of flee boy and that the roads affairs were man Jagged by bankers There Is no reason to. suppose Mr Elliott lany bigger man than Mr. Mellen admits he was Tn fact considering the time Mr. Elliott devotes Ito featuring, actual railroading consumes even Hess of his attention.
 Under these circumstances, why should the state relieve the New Haven of it's lawful duties?

BANKER BAKER, 74 TO-DAY, HAS S2, ,5OO, 900
 FOR EACH ANNUM.

Industry, frugaIity and temperance, so all wealthy men tell us, are the stepping stones to success, and, such being the case, George Fisher Baker is undoubtedly one of the most indus trious. frugal and temperate of men. The great New York banker and financier was born in Troy, N r., March 27, 1s40. and today. at the, on earth, the fruits of his industry, ruga1ity and temperance are estinnat- ed at between SITS. 100000 and s20o,- 0ee. .000 in real cash and Al secur- ities. MT. Bakers holdings cannot be stated with accuracy, as he inform ed a committee of congressional probers that the public had no more right to Inquire into his bank ac- counts than to inspect his tailor's bills.
 Besides being the chairman of the: board of directors of the First Ma. tionaI bank of New York-ap insti- tuition which made ss6,o0O,o00 on a
 capital of $500, ooo-the Trojan fInan-
 cfer is heavily interested in some
 trial and financial corporations, and
 head of the investment concern called
 the First Securities Company. He
 has been one of the leaders Of the interlocking directorate system by
 which the wealth and industries of the republic were placed so largely under the direction of a small group of men. including Baker, Morgan, Sti1lman and William Rockefeller
 Mir. Baker recently announced his intention of quitting as many direc- | torates as would permit him to do so.

THE DIGNITY THAT DOTH HEDGE A KING

THE ABOVE familiar quotation IS suggested M by President Wilson's partly whimsi- cal but mostly serious complaint, in his Press Club speech, of the formalities that surround him as president No doubt every president and others of high station have felt this awk-3 wa rdness.
 person may be perfectly svolubIe and self possessed under ordinary circumstances. But let himsby some chance be presented to a pres ident and his tongue cleaves to the roof of his mouth " M& The president meanwhile feels just as tIe sirolls of simple and unaffected converse with his fellows as any of us But he is cut off from all that.bv 'sthe dignity that doth hedge King. z.
 Presidents and other high officials get close to the daily life of the common people, when ever the persons whom they meet in converse ton throw aside the embarrassment which they feel irlsfhn nee of high dignity The story. is told of rustic preacher who was once sent as delegate to body containing many famous lTser He approached the assemblage Of the m igfty ones of the land with trepidation.
 BuR after few days he dIscerned that these great dignitaries in fact just like oth CT people. The higher they were, the simpler and the more unaff eeted and approachable- Af- terward he remarked. T found out that when they get their jackets off every one is about alike. FL
 man who was once so placed that he overheard a confidential conversation between President Mckinley and Mark Hanna said he ex- pected that they would be discussing great mat ters of state the areana of politics in 8 very dieniaed manner Actually they spent their time talking about the selection of shoes and care of the feet When you have to meet 8 president or other high authority, don't talk philosophy or international law to him. Talk to him as@yeu would to your neighbor across the back yard fence It will be great relief te him.

N H INOTTE E. CHATFIELD, a leading Re- 1V1 publican of New Haven and one of those who attended the Taft Hotel conference puts his finger upon the chief reason why it is easy for rats" to infest the party barn. Mr. Chatffeld said, yesterday, in The Journal Courier:-
 tIn opinion trouble is the unfair representation party party leaders do not have to bother the Hartford New Haven Bridgeport delegates They just to the small delegates need to through matters What we should have and what would remedy the situation would be should be based the party nd upon the number of representatives
 tIn few. small towns containing party votes they have many delegates as much convention n w with at least 10 900 of leaders in the state control the delegates and they need not about delegates from the large and cities what they The convention is changed the better party and the the is ridden Of the clique let the Republicans at the better it will be for the It is probably true that Connecticut must remain backward state until the system of Representation is reformed. But much may be accomplished for the better by direct nonlina- lions, and the initiative and referendum, aided l by the recall.

PRESENT BASEBALL CONFLICT RECALLS THE sWAR OF 1902

This years baseball war, exciting as it may seem to the younger fans, seems quiet and lacking in sensational features to the old-timers who can re- call the ferocious War of 1902 That historic conflict began in 1899. when Ban Johnson's Western League, at a meeting in Chicago, changed it's name to American League and put a club in Chicago. under the manage. ment of Charles Comiskey. The White Sox won the pennant in Byron Bancroft Johnson,s major league in 1900. the other clubs in the circuit that year being Milwaukee, Indiana polls. Detroit, Kansas City, Cleveland, Minneapolis and Buffalo. At the close of the 1900 season the Ameri- can League announced that it would no longer be bound by the national agreement, that it would replace In dianapolis, Kansas City. Buffalo and Minneapolis by adding Boston, Phila- tdelphia. Washington and Baltimore to the circuit, that 1t would adopt a twenty-five cent tariff. and that the doddering old National League could go hang. Then the war was on, but I 1t did not reach the fast and furious point until 1902. Then Milwaukee was transferred to St. Louis, and most of the National League stars in the \ Mound City were induced to transfer their allegiance to the invader.
 That annum of 1902 was certainly a lively one for the fan. The Ameri- cans had secured seventy-seven of tho best and most popular players of the I old league, and every National club
 with the single exception of Pitts
 burgh, was shot to pieces. The Pi
 rates were left with an unbroke1 front to present against the collection of misfits that represented the othel

MR IiWlER WARNS HARTFORD
 AGAINST EXCESSIVE BONDING
IT HARTFORD IS A RICH city. It enjoys a Ill large revenue from the sale of water

IT HARTFORD IS A RICH city. It enjoys a I I large revenue from the sale of water, supplied by its own water works. It is more advantageously placed to carry large debt than Bridgeport is. Debt, as practiced by American cities, ordinarily doubles the cost of the things purchased from the proceeds Of the borrowed money. The richer city is, the more able it is to pay double for everything.
 Evidently borrowing has been overdone in Hartford The platform Of the Democratic par ty of Hartford pledges the avoidance of debt creating policies.
 Tn his speech, accepting the nomination for mayor, Representative J. H. Lawler discusses bonding in the following language =:
 The bonded of city has xtraordinary ssedooe eo 'eh these life time of the bond This is heavy endeavoP P1 to Keep the city nualolPsll5y vh5ls De disposition pride in having each come, possible finish the with surplus
 The spirit Of extravagance should be curbed It is late now to change the working contracts of the s1o.ooo for Lavish appontrnenta in any departmental office should
 Bridgeport may well ponder this view, for the citizens will soon be called upon to vote for bond issues approximating about $1 100000, mostly for things the city can get along with l out.
 And in the background are projects, aris- ing from the spirit of extravagance which will cost millions more. These will be put for ward if the present debt campaign is success I full
 The best thing to do at this time is to avoid lunproductive debt as much as possible If l debt is incurred let it be for things which will tpay their own way, or yield revenue.
