On Dangerous Ground

What eSoteric knowledge caused varl- ouS Republicans, initiated by those Fusion candidates who took the short end of the vote, at the election two weeks ago, to demand recanvass of the voting machines was elaborated in Superior Court throughout today. Whether the election results, as declared official" by the general moderator after extensive recount, will be changed rests with the court after scrutiny of the record.
 Did "dead men vote?" Did corruption menace the first right of all citizens to share in government? Did bitterness be- tween factions cause recourse to illegali- ties that can be pinned on one side more than the other?
 The compliments in their mandamus action aver affirmatively. For the other side, there is acceptance of the vote as deemed official" by the moderator.
 But those of the FusionistS whose distrust occasioned this court procedure tread dangerous ground today. For may it not be that, in the event of disclosures vindicating their allegations, the pot once again will be saffron-hued by it's communion with the kettle.
 Nothing so bitter as internal dissension can stain the lifeblood of nation. In minor degree, nothing so intense as feel ing between the used-to-be's and the ares can exist in local politics when these embers are famed by the want-to- be'S.
 Feud there is and feud there will be when the cry of traitor" causes attempted vindication of the change begetting the label Thus, with the thou sands who voted relegated to the bleach CTS, the Fusion ticket head goes to court today. On the outcome may rest deci- sion which will have bearing in only a personal sense and this the possibility of his becoming man without party hereafter.
 That, at least, will be one solution of the post-election dispute.

A Long At Last

Bids for the first of the states big building projects will be asked next week, it was indicated over the past weekend. And to Connecticut State Col lege, patient and long-Suffering agency, goes the honor of being first on the list ot Public Works Director Robert A. Hurley. The college will benefit by new library, 8 new heating system, and an engineer ing building. All will cost the state in the neighorhood of $95O00O. Right now the state is preparing to spend about $5,000,- 900 for building expansion.
 The State Hospital at Newtown is also scheduled to receive early attention and is second on Commissioner Hurleys list with two new buildings, one for men and one for women, scheduled to be built. Each will cost $900,000. The remaining projects that are now on schedule are tubercular sanatoria-Laurel Heights at Shelton, Cedarcrest in Newington, Under cliff at Meriden, and Uncas-on-Tha at Norwich. The State Hospital at Nor wich is also to benefit with $172,00O infirmary and an $180,000 employees home.
 Of the $5O00,0OO to be spent in the next few months in bringing our state institutions up to par $2,300.000 is federal money. The states share is provided for in $25,000,000 bond issue, which not only covers the cost of building up our institutions but also will wipe out the existing state deficit. It is apparent now that the job of financing the tremendous amount of building necessary to modern ize our state institutions was not so difti- cult as many of us were led to believe some ten years ago when we had an iden- tical opportunity to do what we are now doing in 1887.
 There will be more building projects announced for this state, perhaps next spring. It suff1ces now to know that ac- tual work will follow as soon as contracts are let and plans accepted for all details, It has been long row to hoe-getting institutional expansion. It is good now to see the labor rewarded

Little Rhodv

If ever the State of Connecticut had any thoughts about legalizing betting on horse races which would open the door to establishment of a pari-mutuel track within our confines, we rather imagine that events of the last few weeks have Stunted the growth of this plan. Across our eastern border, in neighboring Rhode Island the merrieSt little war over con- duct of the states magnificent racing plant at Pawtucket is now going on. It has reached the stage where the National Guard is holding the citadel.
 To the outsider this battle over man. agement of the track is a bit confused. Walter E. OHara, to all outward appear ances, had been enjoying notable success in his operation of the NarraganSett track. Certainly of the new tracks that have sprung up like mushrooms in the last three or four years NarraganSett is far and away the most famous and the best money-maker. It has established itself in the sport very solidly. But in so doing it is also apparent that other things were sacrificed. Certainly to hear Gov ernor Robert Quinn explain it the state has suffered something it may never regain.
 The feud that Governor Quinn is now conducting against MT. OHara reached it's high point when the former ordered out the militia so that the track could not open for it's fall meeting yesterday. This summary action was taken in the face of two court orders which had saved MT. O'Hara's name and face and left him in the same position as he was in before Gov. Quinn and the Rhode Island Racing Commission decided to have his scalp. When governor goes beyond court decision and calls out the military to take possession of just race-track, sober peo- pie start thinking.
 We have spoken favorably in the past of horse-racing and even betting on horse racing when it is legalized and conducted under the pari-mutuel system. We have even indicated that Connecticut could do far worse than to resort to such as means of increasing state revenues. However, with the spectacle of Narragan- sett to the east of us, we herewith with draw any support we might have shown or intended to display for similar plant in Connecticut.

OUR WEATHER
tNew Hayen Journal- Courier

(NeW Haven JournalsCourler)
 We note with interest that New England weather continues to be an acceptable item of conversation Among the virtues for which this brand of climate Is celebrated, inc deed, must be it's variety As e cone versational topic. Professor Hunt- ington of the university has devoted a life of study to weather in all It's phases. Climate, he insists, shapes men and mems work to e degree we do not often understand. And out of all this research he comes with one conclusion very comforting to Us New Englanders: New England weather, he insists, Is among the most wholesome there is on earth.
 And 1t is precisely changeability which appears to make 1t so. It seems that men can't drift of into stagnation when the weather changes often---or into Information, either, for one is as wasteful as the other. A fellow who slumps into the rut of summer has to bestir himself to keep warm, after all, as the winds of November blow. Simi- larly the man who finds 1t takes all his exercise to keep warm in Feb- ruary has surplus to spare for other things as March and April come around. Dwellers in, blander chimes will insist this reasoning among New Englanders is q kind of clis theological sour grapes. Let them we have Huntington on our sidel

world population, which he believes is bent at disregarding and violat- ing every treaty and every inter- national law, has sounded the warn' ing bells.
 It is all right to be in sympathy with one of the sides, to condemn the other and to publish anything apt to injure them morally, but no. body wishes to see the United States pulled in another war in defense oi somebody else's interests, even Il the war cry Is different of that of 2C years ago.
 As a consequence of that distinc- ton between thought and action many of the newspapers are using more discernment, and are more sensible in their judgments.
 Among those newspapers some have put themselves in 0 most cor1- spicuous place with the presentation of the economic situation of every one of the great powers faced with the impossibility of elevating the living standard of their people ow- ing to the irisuf1lciency of their poS- session of raw materials.
 It is an tirlassuning deinonstra- ton of the real causes of the pres- ent high tension in international relations, and without having the intention has shifted the reSponsi- bility for the every day increase Ii, armaments.
 In the clearneSs of this light the so-called dictators are no more the principal cause for the war prepa- ration. They are, instead, the ex- ponents of Q national self-defense policy for the attainment of an in- ternational justice, which the "have' nations stubbornly denied to the "have not" nations. Tn other words, the disturbers of the peace are not the fascist nations, which are only seeking @ little butter for the bread of tEeir people; are, in. stead, oil the oth@ nations that having their belly full refuse the plea of those people and prepare themselves to strangle their just human desire. ". .t
 If, President Roosevelt, in place of the whip against the world lt per cent population, unjustly treat ed with unjust treaties, and more unjust economical conditions, hae sounded the bells calling the "have' nations to agree on an act of gener- ous justice toward the "have not nations, he really would have re. moved most of the causes of wal and imposed to the world the United States leadership, for the as- surance of 6 permanent peace with Justice.
