now look more anxiously than ever to
see whether we have indeed the liber-

will let this great measure Of construc-

congress. It's passage would noDly

of memorable labor.

me that this does not complete the toll

these gates of srade. and open
them vide. open them before it

them or altogether reasonable
to ask private capital to open
them at a venture. II IS not a

that transportation at reason

is not at first profitable, and

THE PEOPLES ENDoRsEMENr.

< President Wilson asked for an en- dorsement of the administration and the democratic policies which have been put into operation. The endorse ment which he has received from the congressional and state elections de- notes the feeling oS the people. The republican landslide, complete and de- cisive. is g bitter reply, but it is in direct accord with the sentiment. Tt is the very action which the conditions called for and the response has been Widespread.
 With the indications that the re- publican states have come back to their proper place, G1e change is more significant than the democratic sweep of two years ago. Opportunity has been provided for close inspection of democratic theories, unlzept promises and the enactment of adrastic 1ee.e1a- ton. in comparison with the pr IFS Conditions. The election resul

The democrats have failed to make good, { It was the first time that the people have had the opportunity to elect United States senator and in the return to Washington of Senator Bran degee strong endorsement is given to his service and to the principles he represents That Connecticut has tired or the representation it has received 1n the lower house Is evident.

 It is strong expression of conf1- dence which is given to the republican state ticket and their fitness for the problems which lie before them with every indication of control of both houses in the next general assem- ply.

MEW HAVEN INDICTMENTS.

The indictment of twenty-one di- rectors of the New Haven road means another step in the government effort to punish those responsible for the roads acts. Just what will be the re- suits is impossible to fcretell. but if is noticeable fact that one of the leaders in the directing and carving out Of the policy which has been found to ce in violation of the Sherman anti trust law, escapes from the list of in- dicted because of the aid which he has now given to the prosecution.
 There appear to be men in the list who from previous Indications have lad very IStle to do with the alleged unlawful proceedings. What their no- sttton will be among the others re- mains to be seen. Several will find themselves in the class o3 followers rather than leaders in the law viola ton. and 1t is not strange that some are Surprised to be included in the number. Despite the indictments if Is probably evident to the government saat 1t has no slight task when it comes 10 oosaIHing a conviction on the grounds that there was an inten- tional criminal conspiracy to monopo- 1lzc comTnarce in violation of the law.
 The outcome of this and the pre- vtous actions however is going to be the cause of greater realization upon the part O. boards Of directors in the future as to the responsibility whic1, IS placed upon them and which they must assume. The weakness in the performance Of their duties has been responsible for much of the New Ha- ven's troubles. The disposition to let. things pass without rernonstrance when 1t may be aEainst good judgpaent, even though tli the minority, is wrong conception of a directors duty.
