Why All This Criticism of Billy
Sundays Residence?

To the Editor OF THE TIMES.
From Baltimore comes a great hue
and cry because Billy" SUNDAY has
leased inc house in a fashionable
during the crusade. But il the ungodly
arc allowed TO live in peace and COM
fore in luxurious dwellings,. why shoul
not the SodlY be allowed the same DriNi-
-lcEc? Js there anything evil in beautiful
surroundings? Since the Reverend SILLY
does not squander his substance on
expensive vices, nor on sumptuous balls
and hanQuets. where people Who are
on dainties to tickle their palates. and
does not neglect to give large part OF
his income for charitable purposes, why
all this perturbation?
Eut even the gentle NaZarene was
criticised and prosecuted, so whv should
the Reverend Billy hope TO escape?

telligence is beginning to be en-
ployed in consideration of such con-
ditions as those in California; and
it ought to be safe for Congress to
deal honestly and directly with these
conditions. California and the whole
country actually need relief. The
present session ought to provide it
without delay.

LETTING THE PEOPLE RULE

The District of Columbia Commits
sioners have recommended that tn,
school board be abolished, and tha
the public school system be placed
under director of education named
by and responsible to the Commits
sioners. 1t is claimed that this plar
will bring the schools closer to tn,
people.
A neat exemplifcation of the rea
son why this change is desired wa.
furnished the other day, in connec
tion with the selection of a name fol
new school in Park View. The
school board named it the "Lemon G.
Hine School," the Commissioners
having, in this instance, a right OF
review, exercised that right by over.
ruling the school board and adopt.
ing the name Of "Park View School.
The school board was given oppor.
tunity to acGuiesce in this determi.
nation, but stood by it's first recon-
mendation. 1t was even charged
that the Commissioners had intrud-
ed themselves unnecessarily and un.
justifiably into the school board s
realm.
What really happened was ex-
planned in statement issued by
Commissioner Brownlow, which is
worth producing here because it sug-
gests that the Commissioners were
trying, at least, to do the thing the
people wanted, while the school
board seemed to have given no con-
sideration to the wishes of patrons.
Mr.. Brownlow explained:
The Commissioners named the new
school the Park View School be-
cause the people of the community
wanted it named Park View, and did
School.
The Board of Education wrote to
the Commissioners on October u
that the board had decided to rec
in honor Of a former member of the
common council and board OF al
derman of the old city OF Wash
inSton. who later served as Com
missioner of the District of Column
bia.
It did not appear that the Board
of Education had consulted the peo-
pie. SO the Commissioners. who be-
hevo in the greatest possible partici-
patton Of the people in their gov
ernment. especially with respect to
school matters. communicated with
tho Park View Citizens Association.
large and very representative
That association responded on No.
vemher - in a series Of resolutions
which asked that the school be
named Park View and specifically
asked that the Commissioners do
not approve the recommendation OF
the Board OF Education"
On November 26 the Commissioners
wrote to the board, telling them Of
ing Il the board still adhered to its
former view. On December the
board informed the Commissioners
that they had not changed their
view.
Whereupon the Commissioner.
named the school the Park View
School because the people wanted
1t named that. and without regard
to the wishes Of the Board Of Edu-
cation. The Commissioners believe
that in school matters the patrons
and citizens should always be con-
suited and that in so far as possible
their wishes should govern.
1t would appear that the Commits
sioners, on this record, had the bet
ter of the argument. The incident,
though in itself unimportant, il
lumines the case in favor of putting
the schools where their conduct will
more nearly harmonic with the pub
lies interest and wishes.

mayor is being fed up and groomed

LOSS OF WARSAW ONLY
A MATTER OF TIME
CONTINUED from Page ~

Poland will come within fortnight,
with simultaneous attack on the city
from the north and south.
The fighting in the western war
theater has continued, it is said, for
several days pas. II consists mainly
of artillery engagements, in which no
material gain has been made by either
side. Fierce fighting continues on the
eastern sector of the Austro-Italian
front, where the Italians have attack
ed relentlessly, but according to re-
ports, have secured only temporary
local successes, which the Austrians
afterwards counterbalanced by recap
turing their original positions.
The reported cession by Turkey
to Bulgaria of the Turkish portion of
the Dede railway has created consider
able discussion, but the Bulgarian leg
alton in Londan insists that it had
no confirmation of such an arrange
ment.
