The smyrna TSme. and lis Kite
TAIL

Of one Senator more than ktht ant
Sussex, and Is now willing also to admit
shat four Senators bear the same rela
ton to four under the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution that three d
to three under the old constitution. But
before closing, our much esteemed con
temporary like the cow that gave TIT
bucket of milk and then kicked it over,
gave MS to know that it had but little
interest anyhow 30 far a. New Castle
County was concerned, but that most
asslredly Kent and Sussex Counties
would not submit to being made a tail
10 the kite to further the ambitious
projects of Wilmington in matters OF
legislation affecting the whole State. 1T
said more, but we believe our statement
includes about the giSt of its remarks.
We are not at all at a loss to know upon
which side Of the fence to place our ru-
raj neighhor in this emergency, and we
do most sincerely regret that ii thinks
solittle of us in New Castle County as
to be willing 10 approve OF the attempt
to keep us in the stock market Of citi-
zenship at discount of fifty per cent.
We know Of no attempt being made
nor of no disposition being manifested
to make the two lower counties the tail
end of Wilmington kite, but as kites
must have tail and cannot be made
80 fly without one, it strikes rs that the
smaller and lighter part Of the State
would be the proper material out OF
which to make that tail. But kite
can no more fly without a head than
without Il tail. One is equally depend
ent upon the other and without either it
would be perfectly useless, This is
about true as it relates to our State and
representation. If the State is like a
kite and the kite must have tail, com
mon sense and sound reason trllSLS that
the smaller end Of the State should be
that tail. The great mistake that has
been made, was to make and keep the
big end of the State as the tail and to
wag that tail from Kent and Sussex
Counties. The Times certainly sees
