The Citizen And The
Authorities

Under normal circum.
stances, when the democratic
system operates fully in all
its aspects, the relations be-
tween the citizens and the
authorities develop within an
atmosphere of mutual respect
and cooperation.
Nothing could be more
harmful to a country than'the
absence of an adequate iden.
LITIGATION between the govern
ment and the governed, this
meaning not that there could
not or should not exist dis.
crepancies, in political OPT.
Mons. These political dis
crepancies, maintained in a
level of patriotic responsible
ty, are essence and foundation
of democracy.
The Identification we talk
about is the one corresponding
to the eagerness to serve the
Republic and the desire to
maintain an adequate environ
ment of human cordiality, of
civic sensibility and of guar
antics of all that is connected
with the relations among one
another. The necessary politi-
cal discrepancy among the
different sectors of public
opinion is not, nor could it
be, a reason to kindle hatred
and to interrupt the relations
of mutual respect between the
government and the people.
OF course, the authorities,
basically, have a grave re-
sponsibility to face with re-
gard to the success of these
generous aims to maintain
cordially and mutual respect
between the government and
the people. The authorities
have the duty to keep a
straightforward and prudent
conduct, that would entitle
them to the respect of all the
sectors of the country. They
should maintain a proper be-
havior in the administrative
aspect and, in the political,
particularly, the authorities
should be respectful of the
rights inherent in human
dignity and in the civic free
doms.

Delaware Ranked
AS Fifth Fastest
Growing State

Delaware, with an estimated
population increase of 1877 per-
cent in the eight years from
1850 to 1858, is apparently the
fifth fastest growing state in the
Union reports the State Devel-
opment Department. Basing its
findings on adjusted population
estimates of the U. S. Census
Bureau, the state information
agency advises that Delaware
experienced an estimated 1885,
OOO-person gain between the
time of the last census and July
l, 1858, and that this gain, per-
centagewise, was greater than
that experienced by all other
states with the exception of
Nevada, Florida, Arizona and
Alaska. Nevada, the Nations
fastest growing state-percent-
agewise-experienced a gain of
69.7 per cent during the same
eight-year period. Inasmuch as
the United States population
increased an estimated l3 per
cert during the l950-5o period,
Delaware's population increase
was three times that of the ma
tional average notes the Devel-
opment Department. The revis-
ed u. S. Census Bureau popu-
lation estimates, recently re-
leased, adjust Delaware's popu-
lation to 444,000 as of July l.,
1858. Previous preliminary esti-
mates had indicated a possibil-
ity of the state having as many
as $4,000 as of the July l.,
1858 date. Inasmuch as it is
estimated that Delaware has
gained an estimated $4,000 in
each of the past several years,
it is possible that Delaware will
have an excess of 100000 resi-
dents at time of the decennial
census nexr April, advises the
Development Department.
