NEEDED-A NEW tRM0RN

The last month has witnessed giant strides in Hartford in the building of the new state armory and arsenal there The site of the old round house, between the capitol grounds and the railroad tracks, which for some time has looked mournfully bleak and bare, will soon be the lo- cation whore the state may boast one ot the most complete buildings ever gwen to the needs of the national guard anywhere in the country, fitting companion-structure 10 the capitol with its gilded dome.
 New Haven, too, needs a new arm ory There have been rumors of one for years, but as yet little or nothing definite or tangible has developed. The importance of such a large, mod ern structure in the city may not full ly be appreciated, The city needs some larger floor-space than the pres cnt armory affords, in which to hold It's larger functions. The armory should be the showplace of the city,, wherein events of unusual significance should be held. More important than any municipal usefulness fig the need of a new and larger city armory of the local division of the national guard, The federal government. with new laws, has done much within the last year or two to place the national guard upon q higher and more of fectual status. Its importance in tho general scheme for the protection of the country has now been increased many fold. If Is, therefore, not moro than it's share for the state govern ment to do whatever it can to help along this significant and praise worthy development of the militia in every way The second regiment can now neither do its best work nor can membership in 1t prove as at- tractIve to those very young men of the city who are most desirable as citizen soldiers as long as 1t has its present antequated and undesirable quarters.
 It is to he hoped that this need will be realized by the new state ad- ministration and that steps will be taken to provide larger ana better building before long.

of the republican town conn mittee of Now Haven, was q member of tho commission appointed to draw the present corrupt practices law and 1t was in a large degree due to his cH- perienco and advice that so good an instrument was finally submitted, an instrument which would have proved far more effective In the recent fight had the judiciary committee of the leg islature not in moment Of political tmidity shorn it of some of It's teeth. or the recent election Colonel Macdon- aid says, "The entire campaign was too recklessly expensive and I hope to see the next one conducted on more economical principles"
 The two statements made by tho Hartford Times and that added hy Colonel Macdonald sufficiently cover the ground to make a comment upon the wlckedness of the excessive use of money in Connecticut elections timely The returns to the secretary of state notwithstanding, and they somehow look innocent enough on their face, far more money was expended In the re. cent state election than can possibly bs squared with decent political morals or defensIble political leadership That statement of alleged fact comes under the head of the things one believes but cannot, in the absence of an election court prove, Nor is there any reason why the belief should not be indulged
 in that way was actually found to evade the provisions of the corrupt practices act The very fact that more money was needed for use on election day, after all of the educational pro- Icesses had been financed, than the cost of those educational processes came to Is prima facie evidence of the truth of the Times assertion that money was used excessively and illegally. The fact that a republican leader himself offers a protest against the reckless use of money further drives home the realt2a- tion that Connecticut must take ac- count of its political virtue and under take to bring about it's own reforma- tion in that particular
 As we have already said it is good
 thing that the subject has been brought forward in just the way it has been. Connecticut has stood a great deal of banging during the past six months,
 and it has proved to be a good and promising experience If it bangs it-
 self a little more, with the purpose in mind of driving the money changers
 out of the political temple, only good
 will result It may hurt the feelings
 and pride of certain men, but the kind
 of men who are sensitive under an att
 tack. which means the regeneration Of
 local political methods, are not the kind
 of men to be trusted with the care of
 the states fair name.
