THE WATERBURY RECOUNT
 (Hartford Times) I

Waterbury finally is to have a count of votes cast in its recent election, in which Mayor Hayes was declared elected by a majority Of only 65. ...% /" S
 Mayor Hayes himself apparently is responsible for that decision. The Town Moderator had refused to agree to 1t and the Corporation Counsel backed him. There was a resort to court proceedings to com- pei 1t.
 Before those proceedings could take place Mayor Hayes declared he did not want the office If there was the slightest question as to his proper title. Opposition then wilted and a recount was agreed to with out formality of court order. '
 That sounds like good sportsman ship on the part of Mayor Hayes. It would be applauded even by those who do not agree with .the mayor in politics. Opposition newspapers in Waterbury appear cynical. They give the inference that the mayors pronouncement did not come until a court order was seen to be in- evitable. '.
 At this distance the soundness of that view cannot be appraised. Possibly, allowance should be made for the fact that The Republican and The American of the Brass city have been in . bitter oppo- sition to Mayor Hayes. There probably will be a disposition gen. erally to give him the benefit of the doubt. After all, 8 successful can- didate naturally assumes that form al returns are correct, He does not rush to agree to a challenge. That does not convict him of wanting an office not his.
 With complete control of the governmental machinery in Wa terbury, MT. Hayes would be in a strong position to fight the under taking to examine into the election result. Instead he has taken a poe -sition that is not only good sports manship but also conforms to the demands of good government.
 We do not know which man ought to be Mayor of Waterbury. but we do know 1t ought to be the man the people chose. Whatever the out come Mayor Hayes is to be congra- tulated upon his willingness to have the matter cleared ID. As.l

HARTFORD COURANT

trample each other to death; then between the ages of six and ten weeks they are often assailed by mysterious and horrible maladies; from then on foxes and other arli- mals harry the poor birds. Women make the best turkey raisers, 1t seems, probably because they have patience enough to pamper these noble but unpredictable creatures. Your true turkey raiser will never admit that he makes profit. Either the time spent on them is too much, or the prices are too low, or the cost of fattening them Is too high something always, 1t appears, hap pens to eat up the profits. Neverthe- less, raising turkeys is a fascinating business. None but those with blind spots to beauty could fail to appre- ciate a flock of chocolate-colored Bourbons, or the great, fat white Hollands, the slate-colored Narra- gansetts or the magnificent and pop ular mammoth bronzeS. And the sight of giant gobbler strutting and preening himself like any pom. pous, love-sick beau Is something to warm the heart. 5., ,.
 The turkey has come a long way from the time when Brillot- -Savarin shot the birds up in Connecticut and described how to cook them with such charm. More people are eating turkeys all the year round, which ought to be a good thing for every body concerned. And the new smok- ed turkey industry-the smoked bird ranks high as a delicacy-is growing rapidly. This business ap. parently centers around New York, but far travellers say that Mir, Anon c. Garter, the ebullient Texas pub- fisher. is going in for smoked tlir- key on his ranch near Fort Worth. All this may be marked up as @ I laa c., as.
