MONDAY, oCT. IT. 1910
THE NEW YORK FIGHT.

IT HE present campaign in New York will prob
Il ably show remarkable political developments,
the chief of which will be the breaking of party
lines. The fight is centering about Colonel koose-
velt much to the delight of the Colonel. The
Colonel stands TO win no matter which way the
election goes. He had fine time in Saratoga
making the ticket compromising on the tarlh
plank of the platform, throwing bricks at Jim
Sherman and watching the agony OF barnsie
that is William Barnes, Jr.
Should Mr. Stimson, the Republican candidate
for governor, be elected the Colonel can issue
bulletin ntimating that he Roosevelt, did it, that
the situation was desperate and had he not step
ped forward at the time he did all would have
been lost to the Republicans and Boss Murphy
would be in the saddle at Albany. Great would
be the glory of the Colonel.
Should the ticket be defeated the Colonel could
say that nothing could have stopped the land
slide--that it might have been worse and that
really after all he not it So the Colonel
plays a game of heads ! win, tails you lose, and
a shrewd and sharp play it is.
Many New Workers are accepting the menace
tAeory of the campaign, that is that Colonel
Roosevelt is a business dynamiter who should be
put out of the way politically. Reports say that
some members of the Union League and other
prominent Republicans going TO support Can
didate Dix on the Democratic ticket as the most
direct and effectual way of disposing Of the Colo
mel and any further political ambitions he may
have. What is the Murphy ISSUE they ask as COM
pared with the menacing RooseveltT
The Colonel of course welcomes this kind of a
campaign, for he believes that every vote lost
through the swollen fortune influence will be
more than made up from the east side from the
people" who will rally to the support Of Stimson
and the Colonel Roosevelt has hard fight be-
fore him, but so he had when he entered on the
campaign to defeat the bosses at Saratoga and to
deliver a blow to the crooked alliance between
politicians and joy-riding corporations, Presi-
dent Wilson calls them Altogether although the
odds may seem TO be against him. the former
president is enjoying the struggle.
Candidate Stimson of course accepts the issue
and is willing to bank on the Roosevelt popu-
lsrity But he adds few things by charging that
the Republican is the progressive party in New
York and the Democrats are reactionary And
it may be said that reaotonary Democrats are well
pleased with the progress they are making
throughout the country towards getting the party
from under the Bryan influence.

The scandal crop is above normal in New York
State and city. The report is that vast sum was
distributed in an effort 10 defeat the anti.race
track legislation before the New York Legislature
some 'ime ago. Arres-s of mOn alleged to have
been concerned in bribery have been made and
more are TO follow. The government authorities
have also arrested importers who are charged with
undertaking works OF art ami there is said to
be a great scandal in that. Altogether New York
is maintaining its reputation as place for alleged
crookedness.

DIVORCE EVIL.

NE of the evils following in the trail of di-
- vorces is the increasing number of children
coming under the care Of orphanages and reform
schools.
Charles A. Ellwood, writing in The Survey, de-
clares that out Of 7575 children in "a reform
schools 28.6 per cent. from families in which
there had been divorce desertion while 35.03 per
cent. came from families in which either the father
or the mother, or both, we're dead. Similar re-
suits are shown in the records of four juvenile
courts and of 76 institutions for the care of de-
pendent children.
The significant thing, observes Mr. Ellwood,
seems 10 be that deserton and divorce are a large
enough force in the community 10 bring pressure
10 bear upon orphan asyums to break even their
rules and receive children from families broken
by deserton and divorce as we'll rs from families
mutilated by death. And he adds that it is sur
prising that the number Of children who become
socially maladjusted from desertion and divorce is
almost as great the number who become so
from death of one or more parents.
But Notwithstanding these evils there seems to
be no probability that the divorce records will soon
show decrease in the number of those who wish
10 be legally separated. The tendency of the age
is rather towards increasing the number of di-
vorces.

WINTER PLAYGROUNDs.

HE subject of winter Fairgrounds for chill
y dren is being considered in Baltimore. And
II may be in Wilmington although the deal by
which land was purchased at high figures by City
Council has brought the topic here somewhat into
dsfavor. But the blunder, if nothing worse, that
was committed in the purchase of certain proper
ties should not discredit the playground movement
in Delaware, for ift did the children would be the
innocent sufferers
The Fairgrounds OF Baltimore during the past
summer have been nothing less than phenomenal
successes, says one Baltimore newspaper, and all
doubt about their desirability has vanished. So
pleased have the people been with the success of
the playground movement that il is announced
that winter playground has been equipped and
will be opened on November I and stay open all
winter. But one brings a desire for many. and
it Baltimore is TO have one winter playground why
NOT mores ask the children And right here in Will
mington, why could not the Mundy playground
be kept open during the winter?
: Speaking Of Fairgrounds, it may be remarked
that little or nothing is heard of them in quarters
which were once very enthusiastic The enthus
iasm seems to have died put with the purchase
OF the Ford property and may rest quietly until
some plan is concocted 10 unload land for
playground purposes on gullbe city officials, who
are made the goats" in such transactions while
other persons escape all responsibility.
