What Entities Support

Ever since the Democratic National convention the Repuo- lican leaders have had good reason to feel strengthened in the belief that President Hoover lis to be reelected. These req sons have gradually multiplied, as the Democratic assurance in their cause quietly but persist ently gave way to 8 general feel ing of gloom and uncertainty, There is no claim by Republican managers that the experience of four years ago is to be repeated, when the religious issue caused four usually solid Democratic states to desert t0 Hoover. These states are agala safely placed in the Democratic Icolumn as well as number of Iother states. As a consequence there can be no such result as 87 votes for Smith and 444 for for Hoover, with a popular mai : ority of over six million. A maj crity of 357 was unprecedented. But suppose it should drop to 200, 100 or even 50 majority in the electoral college, with q popular majority of two or three ,rnillion-President Wilson was re-elected by a majority of B
 electoral votes. Any kind of all

Pick Your States

E. E Hurja, who, some years ago, did newspaper work in
 Alaska, but who is now employ ed by the Democratic National Committee, sends some cheering news to the Juneau Daily Elm pire. Referring to the political Iroll in the Hearst newspapers he says T am prepared to say that it is a fair, just and equitable pcll. Roosevelt will carry
 all but four or five states. made Ia wager to-day that Hoover wouldn't carry ten states. If I could get better odds I would
 bet that he wouldn't carry five "
 The value of this prediction, the
 kind that is so familiar to al
 Alaskans, can be found in the
 Hearst Presidential Poll that ap- Ipears in the papers of Septen,-
 Der 2. Hoover is given the lead in nine states, as follows: New
 York, Ohio, Massachusetts, Kan
 sas, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and
 Vermont. Possibly Hurja will bet
 his other $5 on Hoover and thus
 come out even.

"As Maine Goes"

G. Gould Lincoln, a noted political writer, says that ''Tne Democrats in Maine are all pep ped up. But pep or no pep, it is scarcely likely that they car carry Maine" As the Maine election will be over on Septem- Der 12, the readers of this item already know how the pep fizzl- led out.

HOOver's California

The Hearst poll places Cali |fornia's g electorial vot e 5 strongly in the Roosevelt col umn, with 7,239 votes for Roosa- velt and 3,115 for Hoover. And yet in the recent California prl- mary the Republicans boiled 855, ,0OO votes and the Democrats over 500,000 And the Democratic leaders realize that there is not the slightest hope of Roosevelt carrying California, any more than there is of his carrying Pennsylvania and other rock ribbed states that are credited tC Roosevelt.

Is Peace Too Expensive?

The longer one thinks about 1t, the more one becomes aware of the fact that there IS a good deal more to establishment of inter- national peace than the signing of peace treaties or even the will to cooperate. In his autobiography, Lincoln Steffens tells the story of the peace conference after the World War. He depicts Clemeceau of France challenging the other delegates as fol- lows: We can make this permanent peace; we can remove all the causes of war and set up no new causes of war. We have now the opportunity to make peace that shall last forever. We must give up our empires and all hope for empire. You, Mir Lloyd George. you English will have to come out of India, for example; we French shall have to come out of North Africa; and you Americans Mir President. you must get out of the Philippines and Porto Rico and leave Cuba alone and --- Mexico.
 Oh, we can all go to them and other countries, but as tourists, traders, travellers; we cannot any more govern them or exploit or have the inside track of them. We can not possess the keys to trade routes and spheres of influence. And, trade and traffic Those are some of the costs of permanent peace; there are the sacrifices we, the domi- nant powers would have to make. It is very expensive, peace!
 The price was more, apparently. than that famous gathering cared to pay. It IS more than the nations are willing to pay even now, with the diseases of worldwide economic depression and the threat of war pulling them down. They want health - peace but they want the doctor to pre- scribe simple medicine for it. When he says cut down on sweet stuffs. take more exercise every day. get to bed earlier at night the patients turn away in disgust. They can't take the trouble. It would cost too much in thought and self-eontrol and self denial to carry out that program.

Governor Ritehie is more nearly right in asking for federal survey to ascertain what states need aid during this crisis in American business. Any desire upon the part of the government to aid entire states or separate communities should be predicted upon their ability and their desire. If they are able to take care of themselves through their own or state agencies these are the proper ones to take charge. Connecticut is capable of doing this It has proved adequate unto the hour even without sumnnoning state aid. Our several towns and cities are making the best of bad times with commendable spirit and the proper attitude. Federal encroaeh- ment might prove more damaging than help ful. As Ritchie says. The relief problem is primarily one for local communities and states If these agencies have found their efforts are insufficient to care for those in need the national emergency and the fed eral government must act.

The Heat Cure

Reports from St Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, D. C. tell of notable success Tn the use of malaria fever to cure paress. his is discovery which seems to have been made originally in another American hospital about 10 years ago, but for some reason or other is credited to Viennese physician. In the Washington hospital it has been used for several years Formerly the disease was in- ourable. Now nine out of 10 cases are ar- rested or cured.
 The interesting thing about this treatment is the new principle involved. which is the revolutionary idea that levers serve salu- tary purpose. They are natures own effort to destroy deadly infections. The heat pro- duced in the body by the malaria kills the paresis germs or renders them harmless Since this principle was discovered physicians have expermented with artificial levers in various diseases, often with remarkable results.
 Some doctors pass high frequency currents of electricity through the body to burn up'' the toxic germs Much is expected by some scientists from a new and powerful vacuum tube which raises the temperature of anyone in its vicinity. Prehaps the heat rays from an infra-red lamp serve a similar purpose. And very likely there is benefit derived in the same way merely from sitting before hot. open fire, in case of colds and other minor infections.

Nothing is too sacred for mankind. We read that scientists are discussing plans for making part of the Great Salt Lake in Utah fresh water body. A series of dkes is pro- posed that would free the proposed section of salt in IS months. To what good pur- pose, though. Today Utah is visited by thousands of tourists from every section of the world, simply because it boasts of great inland salt sea- It is natural phenomenon and should be considered such and not sub- feet to any man made plans for ridding it of its peculiar characteristic. We think the people of Utah ought to express themselves on the matter before anything is done about if

MIR WARREN AND

We have no disposition to quar- rel with Governor Cross's decision against sending 8 Connecticut rep resentative to the hearings or the interstate commerce commlsslon upon the eastern trunk line plan of consolidation. We incline to the opinion that Connecticut's IT. terests are not in jeopardy, at pres. ent at least, and that there Is small occasion now for representation. Il.
 We are not so sure that Connec- ticut's interests can be looked aIter by Attorney General Bentley war ren of Massachusetts, who Is to ap, pear for the New England raliroau committee. We believe that ME Warren holds a view of the NeW England railroad situation whicn is more typically representative ol Massachusetts, and partlcularIy Boston, than of Connecticut. Tnal point of view is traditionally hos tile to the New Haven railroad. II has seemed, to some extent. 10 dominate the trend of thought m the New England governors rail- road committee.
