A SUCCESSFUL MAN.
WILLIAM SIMPSON AS AN ORGANIZER.

WILLIAM SIMPSON AS AN ORGANIZER.
Mr.. William H. Simpson, is no doubt
one of the best known men in
this community and especially among
Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythlas and
other organizations that he has di-
rectly organized.
Mr.. Simpson was born in this city
April 3, 1885, on the ground on which
the late Charles Sumner built his
house, which is now owned by Hon.
VIM. E. Chandler.
Mr.. Simpson organized Bloom of
Youth 1868, Odd Fellows, one of the
best known organizations in this city,
and is also one of the organizers and
incOrporators of the Knights ofPythias.
He is Lieutenant Commander of the
latter and could be its captain, but Of
fetal business will not permit him.
He was janitor of the station-house in
years gone by and subsequently put up
fire-proof building for the Board of
Public Works.
He is a republican in politics and
one of the most forCible and earnest
speakers in this city.
He holds a responsible position in
the District Government, and he is a
man who is liked by all who know him.
Mr.. Simpson is thorough race man
and stands in the front rank of prog
ress. As an organizer of organiza
tions and in politics he stands to-day
equal to any.

was working in the interest of some
one who wanted Warden Leonard e
place.
This seIf-constituted investiga-
tor has already been convinced
that his charges are without foun-
dation and Warden Leonard will
be vindicated.
1t seems to us that a WarCen has
a right to enter any part of the in
stituUion he has in charge.
If he did lot enter the matrons
room he would be criticized because
he failed to do so. How is he to
know what goes on in the several
apartments of the Jail if he fails to
enter them
The self constituted investigator
condemns him for not entering GER
tain apartments and critlclzes him
because he enters certain other APP
partments.
What is the Warden expected to
do?
The prisoners are well treated
and if anything Mr.. Cook should
have charged Warden Leonard and
his guards with being too lenient
and indulging to prisoners.

OFF HIS BASE.
(From the Denver StatesmanO

NlOHl lllS DelNSI SIateSman.)
The Negro press would do well to
stop and study minute before howl
ing over the political situation. The
whole race is not for office.
The Denver Exponent is off its
base. If it thinks that Afro-Amer-
leans are not looking for office, it
is off its base. All classes and nat
ionalities discuss all kinds of issues,
and they all end in office. You can
take your gold, silver or any other
kind OF money, but the white man
is looking for office just the same.
Our friend is off his base.

CARDOZO REMOVED.

As The BEE predicted some two
or three weeks ago that Prof. F. l..
Cardozo, Principal of the High
School would certainly be removed
and as an evidence of our predic-
ton, he was removed on last Tues
day evening,
The question now is, has he been
improved upon by the appoint
ment of W. S. Montgomery, who
Is not as good disciplinarian as
The Washington bee., 1896-07-04

The time is fast approaching
when the Afro American can de-
vide on party lines with the same
propriety as the white man.
Yes it is the opinion of many
that Judge Mills should be ap,
pointed to the bench. If the col
ored people cannot get a colored
Judge of the Police Court, Judges
Scott, Mills, or Taylor would be
acceptable to the colored people.

WARDEN LEONARD.

The charges against Warden
Leonard of the District Jail were
instituted In the interest of some
applicant for the place as The BEE
said the day the charges were pre-
ferred against him. The BEE said
then that Warden Leonard would
be vindicated because the charges
were groundless.
The young man who preferred
the charges had to admit that he

Mr.. ELLIS BROWN.

The appointment of Mr.. Ellis
Brown meets the approval of the
citizens.
Mr.. Brown was suggested for the
office of Supervising Principal by
The BEE several months ago and
We said that he was man of ability
and was entitled to the place and
no doubt, when a vacancy occurred
by the removal of Prof. Cardozo,
he would be appointed. The BEE
is always up-to-date on all public
questions and reliable in its pre-
dictions.

a worse condition than it was be.
fore.
Trustees Shadd and Cornish are
to be congratulated upon the fight
they made for Prof. IL. NJ. Brown,
who was entitled to the promotion
and who is by far the superior of
any teacher in this Country. His
EQUALS cannot be found anywhere.
The BEE is of the sopinion that
Trustee Bruce made great mis-
take in the appointment of W. S.
Montgomery.
1t is the consensus Of opinion
that he Is no more competent for
the place than Prof. Cardozo and
far less as good a disciplinarian.
The teachers who know Mont
gomery laugh at his appointment,
to the High School, and say it is "a
farce and certainly must be joke.
Trustee Bruce had a brilliant
opportunity to have given the peo-
pie a first-class High School by the
appointment Of a frst-class teacher.
Mr.. Montgomery has no execu-
tive ability and why he should be
placed at the head of our High
S hool, where it is essential to have
man of superior educational
and executive ability, we cannot
conjecture.
The appointment of Prof. H. NJ.
Brown would have given the people
d High School that would have
been an honor to the Capital of
this nation, where we ought to have
the best Public school system in
the country.
Will the people stand this impo-
sition? Shall our High School
continue to be a menace to pro-
gressive and higher education, by
the appointment of incompetent
principals ?
Trustee Bruce had a chance
to appoint a competent young man
in the person of Professor Brown.
Prof. Ellis Brown, worthy young
man, Principal of Sumner school,
was The BEES candidate for Su-
pervising principal md he has been
appointed.
1t seems to be very hard to have
one of our own citizens appointed to
positions to which they are entitled.
The appointment of Mr.. Mont
gomery is mistake and in the in
terest of our schools, Trustee Bruce
has chance to right a wrong.
When Trustee Bruce asserts that,
in his opinion, the fight in the
High School looked like one teacher
was laboring to get another out and
the other to keep one IN, is mis-
take.
The charges submitted by Miss
Mary Nalle certainly must have |
justified the removal of Prof. Car
doza. Certainly the very self-same
c larges were made years ago and
The BEE, as Mr.. Bruce knows.
pointed out grave irregularities in
the High School. Prof. Brown, at
that time, as Miss Nalle does now,
acted in the interest of tie schools
and the p ople.
Ihe teacnerS, as well as the tax
payers, Were being imposed upon by
the retention of an incompetent
principal.
1t was the prerogative of Trustee
Bruce TO have acted then instead of
so long.
Our High School has been in
jured and the further prediction of
The BEE is that Mr.. Bruce will re-
5ret this appointment and solio-
lulze to himself, the 0, inlon of
rhe BEE, was wisely expressed.

Some people have an idea that

it without working for it and when
they want it all they have to do is
to ask for it and it will be forth
with coming.

A NEW LEADERSHIP.

EulIOE L. UOIndS IOIt uuc, Out
of the most gifted Afro-American
writers in this cOuntr', and editor
of The SOUTHERN AGE, wrote a
very lengthy article to the New
York Sun, of recent date, which
was reproduced, in full, in our able
contemporary, the Daily Post,
Monday, June goth, showing that
the Mckinley managers at the re-
cent st. Louis Convention, turned
such men down as Hon. B. K.
Bruce, Hon. John r. Lynch, ex-
Governor Z. B. S. Pinchback, n.
W. Quincy, Geo. W. Murray and
others.
Editor Fortune is no doubt
aware that Major McKlnley's man
ayers consulted Afro-Americans
who were strictly fer their candi-
dates, and his nomination and cleo
tion will tend to inaugurate new
leadership, which has been advo-
Gated by The BEE for some time.
Hon. Mark Hanna did consult
Afro-American representatives and
accepted their advice, to a great ex-
tent.
Lawyer y. Madison Vance of
Louisiana, Col. James Hill of Miss
issippi, Bishop Arnett of Ohio, Hon.
John Z. Green of Ohio and other
Afro-Americans were consulted by
Mr.. Mark Hanna.
Suppose Afro-AmericanS were
not consulted i? Has the action of
some Of our Afro-American repre-
sentatives been so commendable as
to command respect and considera-
ton?
The actions Of some of our Afro
American delegates, at the recent
st. Leuis Convention, were repre-
hensible.
A certain Southern delegate, a
man who stands high in his party,
was elected as an Allison delegate,
and who declared for the. Iowa Sen
ator in terms that could not be mis-
taken, that he had been elected as
an Allison delegate and no doubt
aided otherwise, sold the Senator
at St. Louis.
Can Mr.. Mark Hanna have con-
fdence in such a man, no matter
if he did vote for Mckinley. Mr..
Hanna appreciates manhood and |
honesty and will respect a man
who favors other candidates other
than his own.
This delegate may believe by get
ting on the band "wagon," as he |
stated it, will put him on top, but |
he will be mistaken.
If Afro-Americans were not con-
suited by the Mckinley managers,
Mr.. Fortune, the above are some
of the reasons why. |
Hon. John Sherman had his fill |
of negro treachery and infdelity to
his candidancy, in which Mr..
Mark Hanna figured largely, did
not intend to be sold out this time.
If there Was any selling to be done
he would do it.
We want a new leadership; we
want men at the head of the race
who are experienced, true and
tried. Lynch is honest and posi-
tive, PInchback is brave and cour-
lgeous; Quincy, ambitious and
Bruce is astitule, liberal and reli- |
able. 7,
In this era of our political dis
We are to have a new /
leadership.
