PASSING OF THE DUKE OF
GLOUCESTER"

The Duke of Gloucester" has fallen
upon evil days. Time was when Will
liam ]. Thompson lent glory to the
title. He won it well, and wore it
long. The Gloucester race track was
one of his manors, while the whole
State of New Jersey was, in reality,
his dukedom. Race touts and plungers
were among his intimates, and men
whose fortunes read in seven figures
were his familiars His word was law,
and there was practically no other in
the good old wide-open days at the
Gloucester tracks.
He was a masterful figure in q way.
Things went on at the great amuse-
ment resort which a malignant and
inquisitive Legislature might not ap-
prove, but the "Duke" had concilia.
tory way about him which was very
effective. This usually took the shape
of large fat roll which he carried to
the seat of government whenever the
General Assembly met. The story

Mrs. Schoff believes that a course Of

runs that there were itching palms in
those days, but the "Duke" always
managed to quiet the epidemic. The
merry hum of the wheels and the voice
of the barker went on without inter
ruption, and the Duke" waxed fat in
fortune.
He knew much of the good things of
the world. He was an epicure of no
mean abilities. Not all his visitors
came to squander their money on the
ponies. The plank shad prepared under
the eye of the "Duke," according to
the recipe which he made famous when
he was an humble Boniface, attracted
excursions from Washington and New
York-and it took much to lure Wash
ingtonians away from Chamberlain's
in those days.
The lovers of good things to eat,
with dash of excitement such as the
race track alone can afford, will drop a
tear for the past when they read that
the "Duke" has been made defendant
in involuntary bankruptcy proceedings.
The reins of the boss have fallen from
his hands, and there are other scenes
in Gloucester. "Ichabod" is written
on the ducal coronet; the Thompson
glory has departed.

AN ANEXPLANATIONTHATD DOES
NOT EXPLAIN.

Snowden Ashford's explanation OF
the closing of the Simmons and Doug
Las Schools is an explanation of that
rather common variety that doesn't
explain. Mr.. Ashford is the Municipal
Architect, professionally, and the fly
In the School Board ointment, Incl
dentally. He is the man in the Dis
trict building with whom the Board of
Education has had nearly all its con-
troversies. He has always maintained
he was right and the board wrong,
while the board, naturally, has taken
the opposite view.
In the controversy over the closing
of the Simmons and Douglas Schools
Mr.. Ashford makes a poor showing,
judged by his own words. He says, in
explanation of the incident, that a con-
tract for new heating plants for these
buildings was let last January, and
that it provided that the work be fin
ished by July I. In order to finish it
by July l, he says, it was necessary
for the contractors to begin work dur
ing the Easter vacation.
So far, so good. That's all reason
able. But Mr.. Ashford adds that he
did not consider it necessary to confer
with the Board of Education; he sim
ply permitted the contract to take it's
course.
Now, it's couse happened to run
through the old heating plants, which
were removed by the contractors to
make room for the new. When the
plants were nicely out, the time for
resuming school work arrived. So did
a cold wave. The buildings could not
be heated, and the schools had to be
dismissed.
The Illuminating feature of this stu
alton is Mr.. Ashford's unconcern for
the children who are supposed to be
educated at the Simmons and Douglas
Schools. His interest seemed to be in
the physical school properties, not in
the academic work of the pupils. That
is the business of the Board of Educa-
tion. Considering this division of au-
thority and the division of RESPONSE
bility and interest which it produces,
it is, perhaps, not surprising that Mr..
Ashford didn't think about telling the
Board of Education the buildings were
not fit for use, and thereby making it
possible to care for the children else
where. He is concerned only over fur
naces.
And it is right here that the weak
ness in our public school system is
demonstrated. As long as we have
divided authority we will have divided
interest and conflict, with resultant in
jury to the school children, who. are
supposed to be the direct benefciaries
of the school establishment.
Washington's public schools will not
be effectively and economically man
aged and operated until authority and
are centered in one body
either the Board of Education or the
District Commissioners.
The Washington times., 1911-04-27
SUMNER WORK FOR WASHING
TON CITIZENS.

Along about a month from now the
various organizations of the District
will begin to adjourn for the summer.
The Chamber of Commerce and the
Board of Trade will go out of business,
and the citizens associations will lay
off for the hot weather. As a result,
organized effort on the part of Wash
ingtonians for social, civic, and COM
mercial advancement will be suspended
until fall.
1t is more than likely that the chief
reason it is difficult to carry a public
movement to success in Washington
is this three-month hiatus in the ap-
plication of effort. Just about the
time the movement gets well organized
and under high pressure, along comes
summer, and everybody let's go. In
the fall the work has to be done over
again, and the next spring it is dropped
once more. To be most effective, work
of this character should be continuous.
When it is intermittent the interest of
the workers and of the public is hard
to hold. The result is often failure or
only near-success.
There is, in reality, no reason why
the civic and commercial organizations
Of Washington should adopt the Con-
gressional schedule. There is every
reason why they should be on the job
365 days every year. Some of the
members of the Chamber of Commerce
and the Board of Trade leave the city
for the summer, but the great bulk of
them remain. Very few of the mem
bers of the citizens associations leave
except for brief periods. In no other
city in the country would members of
such organizations dream of decreasing
their effort in the summer. Here they
have the habit, without justification in
fact or logic.
We commend this thought to the
civic and commercial societies of the
city. We believe it is worth considera-
tion.

A NEW IDEA BREAKS INTO
NEW ENGLAND.

In another place in this paper is re-
produced a remarkable editorial printed
few days ago in the Boston Tran
script. The dear old Transcript is ordi-
narily inferior to none in rejecting the
intellectual attitude of New England
Brahminism's straitest sect. None
has been more persistently Mortified
at the menace of the new progressiv-
ism. None has more effectively as
sumed that attitude of condescending
superiority which SO often and. imper-
viously cloaks intense provincialism.
What then shall explain this dn-
precedented analysis of the factional
situation among Senate Republicans,
in which the Transcript concludes that
Lodge really belongs with La Fol-
lette; that they are true brothers in
blood; that they ought to stand to-
gether in leadership of the new move
ment upward toward the light. and
that, standing together, their domina-
tion would be completed
Surely the progressive idea has
broken into the most exclusive recesses
of Bay State toryism, when the Tran
script thus recklessly dumps its tradi-
tions and weakly goes a-catering to
public opinion. Gibraltar fiecked out
into mid-Atlantic by the Whit of a
Mediterranean zephyr could hardly be
more startling.
Can the Transcript actually have
discovered that Maine has gone Demo
cratic and meant something by it Is
it possible that the Granite State, in
making Bass governor, dropped a
boulder on the Jovean head of snooZ-
ing conservatism, and moved it to open
its eyes and look around! Can the
election of Foss have Jared the Back
Bay regionf
We are able to convey intimation to
the Transcript, without violation of
any condolences, that its cabalistic
equation and elimination have set the
New England end of Washington won
dering. Are the fixed stars to be moved
from their places, the planets to cease
revolving in their coursesf The Tran
script has prepared the New England
mind for any phenomenon that may
now eventuate from repeal of all
the established laws. If the apples
fall upward this year, Massachusetts,
will not blink; it will merely recognize
that the law of gravitation has gone
the way of the transcripts gravity.

MORE CHARGES AGAINST
PESTIFEROUS SPARROW
TO the Editor Of THE TIMES:

TO the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Your issue Of Saturday. 22d instant.
contains perhaps the ablest and most
plausible defense by L. P. Wild of what
he calls 1.-The much-maligned and not
half appreciated sparrow" The gist OF
his article lies in the plea that the
sparrow was introduced by General
Babcock to overcome 'the caterpillar
nuisance" Let US concede that this
was the original intention. and that the
"pestiferous" rascal contributes his
share to that end. and, except in ex-
ceptional years. is quite successful.
Let it not be forgotten:
/. The caterpillar is a nuisance in that
he destroys the foliage in our streets
and parks and annoys us by Haunting
himself in our faces and measuring our
clothes. This evil, however, Is short
lived, and, in case he denudes our trees,
a second growth is usually provided the
same year.

here summer and winter. spring and
autumn. day and night. He recognizes

ity, or previous condition of servitude

wholly destitute Of a redeeming quality,
unless his supereminent industry In all
forms OF mischief be so considered. In
addition to the original charges pre-
ferred by me against this pestiferous
creature in your issue of March 81, viz:
that he Is an interloper, not musical,
and auarrelsome. an enemy
to the native birds. filthy. and there
fore Objectionable, 1 wish to repeat the
suggestion of a close observer of birds
that this fellow combines the objection
a BILE traits Of all birds and animals. He
has the treachery of the hyena, the
cunning of the crow, the filth-loving
proclivities of the buzzard, the quarrel
some disposition Of the badger, and the
restlessness of the prairie wolf.
If your correspondent, L. P. Wild,
should be annoyed by these pests as
the neighbors are on D street north
west between First and Second. the elo-
ouent defense of the sparrows would be
to q strong plea for their ex-
termination and the restoration Of the
rightful native birds.
- 1t Is a condition that confronts us in
and not mere sentiment.
If we are to have beautiful Wash
steps be taken as will rid the city of
this filthy nuisance and increasing evil.
legislation, cooperation,
and eternal vigilance are needed. Let
all who are really in earnest Join the
Anti-Sparrow League Let this organi-
cation, established on a firm basis, be
made cooperative and nationwide. and
the evil will ultimately disappear.
