WILMINGTON AND socKUM.

The Sussex Journal speaks Of the
city Of Wilmington as "our own city"
That has the true ring. Delaware.
though small. has suffered greatly
through local preiudices. All Dela-
wareans should take pride in their me-
tropolis. recognizing that what makes
for her interests conserves the interests
OF all from one end OF the State to tho
other. We are willing to confess that
prejudice IS not confined to the rural
districts. There are Wilmingtonians
who can think OF rural Delaware only
as a sort OF fringe that helps to set
of the glory OF their city. But there
is no section Of Delaware that has not
done It's share in furnishing the indus
try and brains that have added to our
wealth and our fame. The people Of
the three counties arc Of the same
strain. ono brother may wear ovoralls
and tho other a frock coat; one may
follow the plow while tho other rides
in his carriage yet back Of both is a
common ancestry, common instincts
and traditions, and before them are the
samo aspirations.
Certain Of the newspapers have been
Joking recently about Sockum, and IL
It is only a joke we are willing that It
should pass. but il there is sting to
It. let It be understood that often tho
men whose lives have meant most to
Delaware have come from that homely
region. John NJ. Clayton came from
soclxum. and every little town and VIII
lage has sent into Tho wide world men
who have become prominent In all
walks OF life. 80 let Wilmington and
soclusm pull together Let broadcloth
and biuejeans link arms IN recognition
OF their brotherhood. A mans powers

England In 1902.
Though vessels answering to the
character of yachts were in use by
royal personases from an early date
Queen Elizabeth, for instance, had one
built at Cowes, Isle OF Wight, In 1855
the word yacht" was not used until
the year 1860, when the Dutch present.

Charles H., says the London Chroni-
Gle. In Evelyn's Diary, under Oct. 1,
1G61, occurs the entry, "I sailed this
morning with his majesty in one of his
yachts, vessels not known among us
till the Dutch East India company pre-
sented that curious piece to the king,
being very excellent sailing vessels"
Yacht racing commenced in 1862,
when Charles H.. who had some yachts
built for him by Sir Phineas Pett,
wagered $500 that a yacht of his would
beat a Dutch one owned by his brother,
the Duke OF York. nfterward James II.
But the growth of yacht sailing was
slow, and It is not until 1870 that an
authentic record OF a yacht club is
found. in which year the Cork Harbol
1 Water club, now known as the Roya
Cork Yacht club, was formed. In 1S1.
a similar club, the Yacht club, wai
formed at Cowes by some fifty yachts
men. This club in 1920 attracted the
notice OF the Duke OF Clarence, after
ward william ~, when its title waE
altered to the Royal Yacht squadron
Cowes. Fourteen years later william
". presented the first royal cup to thi:
club. But in 1851 only 800 yachts were
IN existence. Since the internationa
yacht race OF that year the increase il
the number has been immense.

sport may be said to have commenced
IN 1914. in which year the New Yorl
Yacht club was formed. and the his

HOW EAGLES FIGHT.
Furious Battle Between Two of
the Bin Birds.

A small party Of gentlemen. most all
OF whom had tlnGes Of sporting procliv-

subject OF chicken lighting. An old
farmer from Rappahannock county,
Va, broke into the conversation.
Gentlemen" said he, "in my time l
have seen some bang up chicken fights,
but the greatest fight I ever saw be

while their SCREAMS and yeils sounded
demoniacal. The battle lasted fully
fifteen minutes and wound up with a
victory for old baldy, who drove the
gray eagle away and then resumed his
interrupted breakfast
"Oh, yes, there are great many ca
giles up in my part Of the state" said
the old agriculturist In reply to n ques-
ton. There are plenty of high rocks
and lofty trees whereon they build
their nests. We farmers do not give
them any latitude. however Whenever

EDITORIAL OPINION
Preparing For the Future.
. the Sussex Republican


There are a great many rumors going
the rounds al the present time. ANY Of
which, II true, would naturally affect the
political situation I'm this State. Certain
1T is that the Addicks leaders seem un-
easy about the future ana the impress
non IS gaining ground. that some of them
are picking out a soft spot upon which
70 fan, if Addicks should be dropped or
put out of the political gauro. While we
do not put much faith in rumors. yet
there must be some truth in them and
the actions OF Addicks' leaders more than
Ianythlng else, convince us that there is.
II perchance anything should happen
that should make Addicks an impossible
ity and he should drop his fight for the
sona.torship, what a scramble there would
DO among his followers to find shelter
from the storm. We should not be sur
prised II the very ones who have been
so strenuous IN crying his praises night
and day would be the first to condemn
and abuse him. Indeed we expect to see
khe time when such will be the case.
Why not? Addicks Is sure to drop out
sometime and thcn who will continue the
fight and lead his organization? Is there
one among his followers who can do so?
Whence will come the gold to feed that
hungry multitude he has fed and whose
appeutosfor more he has developed until
they oan become Unsuitable? Who viii
assume the responsibility for nhe trouble
sure to follow? who will breast the storm
when despair and defeat overwhelm them
Is it any wonder THAT the wise ones. who
are close enough to the throne and well
posted as to lthe going on in the inner
circle, are looking around and preparing
for the future?

tory over Samuel Parks and his fol-

dent of the international Association Of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers
over Hugh F. Donnelly, of Albany, n.

election the regular order of business
was suspended and the convention
unanimously passed resolution
pledging full support to local No. 2,
the New York walking delegates
union. Parks claims a majority of the
executive board.
The most important thing done by
the convention was the repudiation Of
the national agreement made last April
betweeen the international Asso-
citation Of Manufacturers and the
structural steel erectors. The con-
vention just closed has repudiated that
agreement. 1t was done Friday after
noon and each delegate, including the
members of the press committee, was
pledged to keep the matter secret.
This reputation Of the agreement
was engineered through the convention
by Samuel Parks. It means that his
big union in New York and the unions
in other cities are free to demand more
wages and to strike when they see fit.

The phenomenal success this season

monstrates that it is the highest or

No play nor star has been accorded a
more generous reception by the thea
tre-going public than Twelfth Night"
and Marie Wainwright. OF course the
beauty Of the production from a seem
&c standpoint and Twelfth Night" is
indeed staged lavishly, has been a ma
terial adjunct, and the splendor Of the
costumes has added its quota, but il
is without question that the beauty OF
