If ever there was anything in the
world that went by comtraricS, it is
the Chinese flag 1t will be recalled
that it is one of the gaycSt of national
standards. The body of the banner is
of pale yellow. In the upper left
hand corner is Il small rcd sun, and
looking at it is Il fierce Chinese dragon.
About 1000 years ago, so the story
runs, the Chinese made war upon the
japanese. They prepared for great
invasion. As a prophecy of victory
they adopted Il standard which is that
OF the present time. They took the
sun of Japan and made it very small.
This they put in front of the dragons :
mouth to express the idea that the
Chinese dragon would devour the Jap
ancSe. 1t happened. however that the
Chinese fleet, convey ing an army of
100000 men, was wrecked ON its way
to Japan by great storm, and all but
three of the 100000 perShcd The re
suit of recent events has not been any
more convincing than the first affair
that the Chinese flag has been cor
rcctly conceived

that be true, then why does Editor Houston de-
cline to submit the selection OF a senator to kent
and Sussex? If Senator Alice and Dr. Layton
and their friends are willing to settle the ques-
ton IN that way, why not do it? According to
Editor Houston, Alice cannot possibly win in
Kent and Sussex caucus. 1t might be that the
caucus would decide in favor of our friend Bob,
but, in any event, would be, if Houstons state
ment is reliable and true, an -Allee-Layton
man. On this proposition it looks to us like Edi-
tor Houston is up tree.
Our position, as we have asserted it again and
again, is that as it is conceded that the next SEN
ator will be a Kent or Sussex man. that the peo-
pie or their representatives in the Legislature
should have an effective voice in choosing the
man. This, we claim, is the principle at stake in
the senatorial matter, and we hold to it regard
less OF whether the Alice or anti-Allee forces
have a majority of the Kent and Sussex mem
bers. Ours is not a fight for or against any indi-
viduaL We are standing for condition which
we believe to be best for the future OF the Repub-
ican party and our city and county.
Editor Houston propounds to us this question;
"lf John Edward Addcks should be the choice
of the majority of the Republican members from
Kent and Sussex for United States senator are
the members from New Castle county bound to
support and elect him7' and says he wants an
answer on Monday Well we will not put off
until tomorrow what we can do to-day Our an
swer to that question is NO And for the fol-
lowing reasons First, John Edward Addicks is
not a Kent or Sussex man; second. he is not
bona hde citizen or resident of Delaware, and
could not qualify a registered voter at the last
election and he neither registered nor voted in
the State. The understanding New Castle has
with the lower counties is that the next senator
will be Kent or Sussex man, and as that under
standing was had when Senator DUPONT was
elected, we contend that the New Castle mem
bers Under no condition now bound to sup
port any man not residing in either Kent or Sus-
sex.
In return for Editor Houston's question to US
we wish to put one to him and ask him to send
MS his answer by mail or wire in time for our
Monday edition. "If you honestly and sincerely
believed you and your friends could control a
large majority of the Kent and Sussex members
and that New Castle would oppose and defeat the
choice of Kent and Sussex, would you still OPP
pose the right of Kent-and Sussex having an
effective voice in the selection of Kent or Sus-
sex man for senator?

cITY's ANNIVERSARY BANQUET.

II VERIFYING promises for the success Of
IL the dinner to be given on January IS by
the Board of Trade and City Council It will be
a notable occasion for several reasons. It will
be the annual dinner of the Board Of Trade
which is always an enjoyable affair, and the feast
will be in honor Of the sevehty-hfth anniversary
of the charterng Of Wilmington as a city. In
addition among the guests will be the delegates
to the convention of the municipalities of the
State. With the members of the Legislature also
in attendance, together with the State officials,
a large part Of the motive power of Deaware's
industrial life will be gathered around the ban
quet board for an exchange of views. The oc-
casion will be a helpful one to those interested in
the progress of the city and State. We should
all get together for an exchange of views to know
one another better and to work for the advance
ment of Wilmington and Delaware 1t should
be happy event just at this time, when there arc
evidences in our political life of attempts to array
part of the State against another. Such is harm
full to the best life of Delaware Our interests
are mutual We should labor together. 1t may
be that some of the vital questions that confront
the people of Delaware will be touched upon at
the gathering by some of the SPEAKERS. We hope
that will be the outcome. Delaware is not alone
in being confronted with serious problems OF
revenue and taxation. The needs of the city and
State will be brought out at the meeting, and
even barring the pleasant social feature of the
coming dinner, there will be real practical ends
to be served Let everyone try to do all that is
possible to make this annual gathering of repre-
sentative Wimingtonians, added to this year by
men Of note from all parts of the State, an event
worthy OF the city and of Delaware.
