Downing Street
lErom Lordon To.da


Downing Street, which has been the focus
of the worlds attention, is named after Sir
George Downing, whom Pepys called "a per-
fdious rogue" and of rogues he was pretty
good Judge. Downing was the son of Puri-
tan gentleman who had emigrated to Salem,
in New England, was born in 1923, and was
second in the graduate roll of Harvard in
1912. Soon after this he returned to England
with an accommodating conscience and a
boundless ambition. He got to know the Pro
tector Cromwell, by whom he was appointed
chaplain to the regiment of which the regi-
eide, Colonel 0key, was commander, then he
graduated as scoutmaster-general Of the Par
liamentary army, becoming eventually Eng
lands Ambassador to the Netherlands. But
Downing was not so prejudiced in favor Of
Puritanism Though he had /"done the lac
queying to Cromwells coach'O as TO be I'M
able to accept post under the government
of Charles H. with the result as Mr.. Pascoe
says, that he attained 20 diplomatic rank,
knighthood baronetcy; all that parcel of land
now named Downing Street and all
the houses thereon erected by himself; and
the last, not least, 100000 $50 We are todd
in bonds and good sterling English" Upon
this parcel of land he built some houses, in
one of which he lived, and it is probable that
the dining room of that "perfdious rogue"
George Downing, is now the cabinet room of
10 Downing Street.

Helping the "Has-Beens"

Chicago seems to be making progress
with its endeavor to solve the problem OF
what to do with the "has-beens" in indus
tly-those unfortunate men who have
reached the age of forty-five without
making a permanent place for themselves.
The Employers Association, which has
been watching an experiment conducted
by a committee of employers who took
number of "has-beens" and compared
their output Of work with that of num-
Der of young men, has undertaken to find
places for two thousand Of these I'M
wanted individuals.
There is no good reason why this course
should not work out to the benefit of the
employers as well as employees. The per-
sonal equation will always have to be con-
sidered. but that is the case with young
workers. too. But character and health
being such as to warrant his being hired
at all, the older man has in his favor ex-
perience and a maturity of judgment
which in many classes of work ought to
offset the hustle and energy of the less
well-trained youth. The extension Of
this movement to discount the prejudice
against the "old man" indicates that the
Chicago employers who first took up the
experiment have found a good deal of
value left in the so-called derelictS. That
is good, for while this movement is fine,
humane thing, rejecting credit on the men
who started it, it should not be left on
the basis of philanthropy or charity. 1t
will go much further and be much more
grateful to the workers themselves if it
has a sound economic basis. What these
"has-beens" want-what they have right
to have-is not charity, but work. The
Tribune frequently receives letters-piti-
full letters-from men of this class, who
lament that in spite of their knowledge
that they still have ability to do work as
good as they ever did they find the men
who hire unwilling to give them a chance
to demonstrate their ability. 1t is highly
unfortunate state of affairs for conmu-
nifty when men willing and able to work
get into the class of unemployables only
because Of having passed an imaginary
age deadine. There ought to be room in
this city for a movement such as these
Chicago employers are con-
Quoting.

Wild Silk
lFron The Portland orepoaiu.

tFr0Dl The Portland OrcpoaiuiI
An out-of-the-way illustration of the way
the war has affected remote industries is
found in the new boom that the wild silk"
industry Of Japan is now undergoing. This
silk is called habutai and derives its wildness
not from the appearance of the finished prod
uct upon the wearer, but from the fact that
it is made from the cocoons OF the wild silk
worm, which flourish in many parts of the
islands, but which did not come conspieuousy
into public notice until 1907, when there was
a preliminary boom, following the Russo-Jsp-
anese War. Exports of silk in general, mean
while, have increased to an amazing extent,
the amount for the first nine months Of 1916
having been 500 900, as compared with
S4S, So, 900, an increase Of S43,245,o0O for the
period The increase is due in part TO in
creased quantities of the raw material, but
also TO much higher prices paid by the peo-
de Of the United States and France, the lat
er country still being a heavy buyer, de-
spite war conditions.

Pork and New Taxes

True to the politicians fundamental
principle of getting it while the getting
good. the House of Representatives has
passed by nearly two to one vote the
notorious rivers and harbors bill, carrying
appropriations of $4,000, 000-mostly
pork. On the evening Of the same day
caucus Of Democratic members of the
House agreed on the passage of bill to
meet, by taxing the profits of business and
increasing the inheritance tax, the Treas
,ury deficit which is worrying those mem
bers of the Administration who permit
themselves to be worried by anything so
picayune as the finances of the nation.
Congress has listened recently to many
feryid declarations of the necessity for
internal improvements"-that is, the
building of $4,000 postoflices for hamlets
OF less than 1000 inhabitants. and the
clearing out of distractions to navigation
from creeks which even flat-bottomed row.
boats and canoes would grace. The nation
has been told by its sapient lawmakers and
rulers that. compared with these holy rea-
sons for the expenditure of the peoples
money, appropriations for defence are an
extravaganza. But the member who would
declare that the way to a sound admins
tration of the country's finances lay IN
restricting unnecessary eXpendltures-ln
cutting out the pork-rather than IN
meeting Treasury deficits caused by over
extensive parcelling out Of that pork by
imposing new taxes and increasing old
ones. would be a bold spirit and lonely
in the legislative halls.
It is time this country realized what the
Democratic photographers now in Wash
ington are doing to it. The income tax has
already been boosted ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ually doubled in its application to the
class with the smallest incomes com
ing under its provisions. But the pro
ceeds of that are not enough to provide
pork for the deserving Democrats and pay
for the necessary and legitimate and de
sirable expenditures Of government, so the
highways and hedges have been raked for
other means of raising revenue, for new
taxes to impose. Despite sharp criticism
Of the Democratic extravaganza from all
parts of the country, there has been no
step toward economy, no thought Of cutting
out appropriations for politics only, no
action toward the establishment of a
Budget system of handling financial leg
islation.
There are, in all probability, a few de-
serving items in the rivers and harbors bill
usually there are, in order to carry it.
It is to be hoped the Senate will prune it
ruthlessly down to them without regard
for the feelings of the photographers.

Soups" and Others

In the February "Scribner" contribu-
tor to the Point of View" proposes that a
playground shall be established on the
spacious plaza which will be created at
Seventy-second Street and the Hudson
River by the roofing over Of the railroad
tracks on the shore Of Riverside Drive.
It is a capital suggestion, but we draw
attention to it here for an entirely diff
ferent reason. Says this anonymous
writer-evidently a New Yorker of old
native stock: "Why should this square
not have its sand-pile, its wading-pool, its
merry go-rounds and its swings-'scups' is
the good old New York word?"
Indeed it is. 1t is as old as New York IT.
self. No doubt they had "schops" on the
Bowling Green when New Amsterdam was
young; "schops" under the trees Of every
bouwery. The word was one of our earliest
settlers. Locally it became Americanized
long ago-a state, not a national word,
though New Jersey, too, can claim it as
part of its vanishing Dutch Inheritance.
For to-day, like so many other good old
Dutch words once current in local speech,
it is all but forgotten.
1t is perhaps already too late to gather
together and to preserve these local
archaisms which only thirty years ago
were still in common use on both shores of
the Hudson all the. way to Albany-hardy
survivors from Colonial days. There is the
"winklehawk" One hears it only on rarest
occasions now on the lips of New York
women who are really New Workers, for
"winklehawls" were, even as they are to-
day, the special concern of women-the
triangular rents which boys and tomboys
tear in their clothes.
These verbal survivors from the Dutch
period are fast disappearing. Even their
meaning is no longer understood by new
lceneration, of heterogeneous origins. A
| few have intrenched themselves in the ma
ltional speech for good and all, but these
are not the most picturesque of the orig
lilal stock of locaisms transplanted from
Holland "stoop," cookie" and the like
Washington Irving knew the vanished

It's degenerate, dry descendant, the dough-
nut, is unworthy to continue the name

Our voluminous dictionaries Of the

these words at the moment of their dis
appearance, it is true, but many more, UNI
heard, unremembered, await the labors Of
ar amateur in the field of local history.
The last traces Of the Dutch period in
New York are disappearing. Our speech
the famous "Msnhattanese"-now looks
to less historic influences for its pictur-
esqueness and its corruption. During the
sensational days of the Lexow investiga-
ton we played for a while with the
Bohemian "pantata" as a delicious variant
for police captain, for boss. 1t died. The
