LAST OF THE STATES.

Arizona, with a population OF
$50, 200 and New Mexico, with a
population of $4,000, will now quail
ify for Statehood without further
action on the part of Congress; and
the whole of the continental United
States except Alaska will thus be
cut up into forty-eight sovereign
States. 1t will be a long time before
any other new State is added-per-
haps the longest interval in the his
tory of the country. Alaska had
1852 people in 1900 and 64,356 in
1910. 1t may be twenty years before
she reaches the population of
Arizona, which nowadays is re-
garded as a minimum for according a
community two United States Sen
ators.

When frying veal, either steaks or

sweet milk. Then place 1t In frying
pan containing hot butter or mix

movements in municipal affairs.
Each ward in Atlanta has club of its own. The
territory was divided into sections and the women
of the clubs asked the householders to aid in max
ing their ward the cleanest in the city. Special
stress was laid on the sanitary condition of the
back yards.
There was a cordial response with the result that
after cleanup day Atlanta was better looking than
it had been since the last cleanup six months
before
The ward presenting the best appearance, all
things considered, will get a handsome loving
cup. Other prizes will also be given.
Many cities have these regular days for putting
the city in order. A cleaning up day would be good
for Wilmington. Although movements of this kind
make for the better appearance of a city, there
are other matters essential City authorities should
help Old rookeries and slums should be torn out.
In congested parts of the city, where there are
rickety buildings of little value. some of them un-
used, they should be purchased and the land con-
verted into Fairgrounds. There are some buildings
Of this kind about Third and Adams streets in this
city which the city should get hold of, tear down
and the ground should be used for playground
There is really no necessity for slums in Will
mington. The city made great improvements on
Front street, and similar betterments should be
made in other sections

WORK ON THE NEW ROAD.

~ NE gratifying thing about the DUPONT new
~ road is that there is to be delay in its
construction. Work is already progressing in Srs-
sex county and the surveyors have begun opera
tions in this county. 1t is fair to presume that the
completion of the road will be accomplished IN
a very reasonable time. And the same may be said
of the new hotel
For while some people in the lower part OF
the state were skeptical about the time when work
would be started on the road But seeing is be-
leSing, and the skeptical must now be convinced
And when they see part of the road actually com
peted we have no doubt that even the skepucs
will be convinced that the road will be good
thing for Delaware.
The time is here when the citizens of this county
must give consideration to the road as surveys are
being made in various parts OF the county. II is
time for the residents OF rural New Castle to ex-
press their views as to the route the new road
should take.
1t is understood that survey has been made
along the eastern part of the county. Consider
ing the fact that the Delaware Railroad goes along
the western part of the county after it leaves New
Castle, the eastern part would be fine territory
VI tie new highway. 1t would open an attractive
part of the county, and General DUPONT would in
all probability have little trouble in securing the
right of way. There are some who think that a
good route would be TO follow what is called the
Kings highway from Odessa north That route
would certainly be worth considering.
One point in favor of this route concerns the
expense of maintenance. II this road should be
used, the county would be relieved of the expense
of maintaining the present road which is now only
in fair condition. The question of maintenance OF
the highway is that should always be kept in
mind. The first cost of the road is not the only
thing to be considered by any means. The state
will have a serious problem on its hands in pro-
viding for the upkeep of the boulevard.
The question of the route of the road is also
put up TO the people of the city and much interest
has been manifested in the subject There is con-
siderable sentiment in favor of having the road 60
over the Grant avenue route along the western
part of the city, then 90 north and finally strike
the Philadelphia turnpike This would afford a
beautiful view of the river for some distance.
Other routes of course will be considered.
1t is safe TO say that General DUPONT and his
engineers, acting with the committee appointed
by the President of the Board Of Trade will ar
rive at a satisfactory solution Of the problem of
the route. The committee should meet Mr. du-
Points disposition for promptness. AS we have
said the good part of it all that the road will be
pushed rapidly 10 completion.

DIVIDED SOCIALISTS.

THE Socialist party is strong in Bridgeport,
4 Conn. strong that its opponents urged
that the people dissatisfied with political condi-
tons in that city should not show their resent
ment against the old parties by electing ticket
that might cause the manufacturers to lose con-
hdence in the city
There are two Socialist parties in Bridgeport
the regular Socialists and the Socialist Labor
party The Socialist Labor party issued a mani
festo before the election on Tuesday warning work
ngmen not to support the regular Socialist ticket
because it merely a reform party, advocating
reforms that either of the 'capitalistic parties
could easily advocate
The Socialist Labor party, according to this
statement, demands the unconditional surrender
of the Capitalist class" the surrender Of the
means whereby wealth is created, the social tools
of wealth production. This alone is Socialism, y
says the manifesto, all else is moonshine."

A HELPFUL ADDRESS.

1T is pity that the stormy weather prevented
u larger gathering at the meeting of the Civic
Association held on Monday evening which was
addressed by Mr. Purdy, the noted tax expert OF
New York city, but the interest of those fortunate
enough TO attend was intense as manifested by the
numerous questions asked. The address by Mr.
Purdy was one of the best heard in this city for
many a day. 1t was very practical delivered by
practical man, one who knew what he was talking
about. The charter commissioners were present
and they doubtless obtained much information that
can be used in drafting the charter.
Ii the suggestions offered by Mr. Purdy are put
into effect in our new charter there will be little
reason for such complaints as are frequently heard
in Wilmington about the taxation of property.
There could be few if any Determinations favor
itism in assessing properties in the same neigh
borhood. The map feature and the publicity that
surround the work of assessing are practical and
effective.
Mr.. Purdy evidently thinks that the taxing sys-
TEN in city is a matter not for political control.
1t is easy that if we had one man at the head
of the department and the assessors, if compet
ent, continued in Office for an indefinite period, the
taxation system would be on a better and more
business-like basis than il is
Altogether Mr.. Purdys address was stimulating
TO those who believe in good city government and
wish to give the people an adequate return for
their money paid in taxes

Editorial Opinion
Wealth and Politics.

Kansas City Times.
Not the least interesting circum-
stance about the fling Of the govern
ment's suit for the dissolution of the
United Staten Steel Corporation is tho
fact that this attack on the strongest
citadel Of "the interests" was made
without warning to the leading fnan-
ciers Of the country, who until re-
Gently had been able to know, in ad-
vance, Of any contemplated action by
the government. Ia this respect it
was vastly different from the method
Of procedure in formulating the
Payne-Aldrich Tariff Law. The domi-
nant men in Congress and in the ad-
ministration considered the opinions
Of the protected manufacturers as Of
more Importance than those Of disin-
terested public men or of the common
citizen who pays the taxes. In that
case 'the interests" were duly pro-
tected.
In the suit against the steel cor
poration no more consideration was
given TO the millionaire bankers and
trust magnates than would have been
given if they had been ordinary citi.
zens subject TO a suit for violation oi
the law. The incident marks a pro.
gress that is making in putting the
government back into the hands ol
J the people.
