ON TO HOWARD!! .
1908.


We understand that the inqui-
ries already received indicate that
the Summer School to be held at
Howard University, July I to July
81, will be largely attended. This
is just as it ought to be. No city
holds out so many opportunities
for culture as the Nations Capt.
tai, and no institution among us is
so well equipped for helping the
teachers as Howard University
through its we'll organized Teach
ers' College, of which DR.. L. B.
Moore, the director of the Sum-
ence of a we'll conducted Summer
School in Washington gives op-
portunity to our city teachers to
receive the best instruction at the
lowest cost, eliminating the expens-
es of travel, of large fees for sep
arate courses, and high living ex-
penses in a large city. The school
here will also furnish a splendid
attraction to those outside ofWash-
ington who are alive to the fact
that study even for a short time in
a city like Washington, under an
able corps of instructors, is the
best preparation for doing better
teaching, and furnishes the best
claim for promotion to a better po-
sition.

MR.. HERSHAM.

The Washington correspondent
of the Boston Guardian, Mr.. L.
NJ. Hershaw, of the General Land
Office, should come from under
cover when he wants to strike the
Editor of The Bee. HIS special
letter TO the Guardian IS only in
keeping with his other cowardly
attacks upon citizens, under cover.
The same dose that he poured out
to the correspondent of the West
Virginia Advocate, "Twister, will
be given to him. If he is anxious
to be an editor or a journalist he
should be more manly and resign
his petty clerkship in the Land
Office.
Neither he nor Mr.. Trotter will
deter The Bee from making an
expose of what they both are gull
ty Of. This occasional correspon-
dent will have all the time that he
needs after July Ist.

THE WHITMAN SISTERS.

Notwithstanding the excessively
warm weather last Wednesday eve
ming, Galbraith Church was crowd
ed to its full capacity. The main
auditorium, one-half of which was
reserved, and also the gallery was
packed to suffocation with a most
distinguished audience to listen to
the celebrated Whitman Sisters, who
have taken the city by storm with
their classic and varied singing One
of the centers of attraction was Mas
ter Willie Robinson, who is a genius,
and who keeps his hearers in one
continuous roar of laughter.
The three sisters were most beau
tifully dressed last Wednesday eve
ming. Their costumes were more
than fascinating and attractive. The
singing and funny sayings by Miss
Mabel and Master Willie Robinson
kept the audience in one continuous
roar. Miss Essie has a refined stage
carriage and her articulation is most
perfect.
The Whitman sisters deserve great
credit, and especially Miss Mabel,who
is the manager. These young ladies
deserve to be encouraged.
Their programme is so arranged
that it pleases everybody. Their ju-
bilee songs and other selections can
not help but attract, and in many in
stances tears are brought from the
eyes of the audience.
AT Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist
Church was also crowded lastThurs-
day evening. The seating capacity
of the church is fifteen hundred, and
the crowd that Rev Drew brought
out was only in keeping with other
crowds that greet the church of this
great evangelist.
These young ladies will be in the
city all this month, after which they
will take a vacation for the summer
and return iii the fall.

Two months ago The Bee pre-

up in the National Committee, and

fairness of that committee in de-
Gliding contests. If the allies had

Horner a Republican?
Soon, very soon, the clans viii

ident, but we 90 not know who
is to be the nominee for vice pres

TYRANNY CONTINUES


1t was presumed that the re-
mOval of DR.. William E. Chancel-
lor from the superintendency of
the public schools would have Civ
en- the teachers a relief from tyr
amy and oppression. 1t is not
the case, however, in the colored
schools. There are certain super
vising principals over the colored
schools who continue their tyran-
nical oppression over the colored
teachers.
The Bee is of the opinion that
the only way the Board of Educa-
ton will be able to remedy the
evil is to remove the obstruction.
Those petty supervising principals
are a menace to the colored public
schools, and the sooner the Board
of Education takes the matter in
hand the better it will be for our
schools.
In the interest of justice and fair
play The Bee will at the next Ses-
sion of Congress lay before the
District Senate Committee the ne
cessity of abolishing the oces Of
supervising principals, especially
those who have the supervision of
the colored schools. There seems
to be one individual in the colored
schools who appears to cause all
the disturbance, and if he is not
removed The Bee predicts the pas
sage of the DOlliver School Bill.
1t is a shame that the entire
school system should suffer or be
embarrassed on account of one in
dividual who is Objectionable to
the teachers. The worst kind of
favoritism seemed to be practiced
by this individual. Developments
in a recent case that was investi-
gated by the Assistant Superin-
tendent shows this, and there is no
doubt that the Board of Education
should investigate the matter and
remove the individual. Certain fa-
vorite teachers seem to get what
they want, while other more de
serving teachers are Disseminated
against.

IS Mr.. HORNER A REPUB.
LICAN?

LICAN?
The above interrOgative caption
is pertinent just at his time, in
view of some transactions that
have taken place which have all the
ear-marks of mystery, to say the
least.
1t will be recalled that Mr.. R.
r. was selected as the colored del
egate to the Republican National
Convention. Note that we say
Selected placing especial en-
phasis on it. The election was
farce, as every resident in the Dis
trict knows. The election was but
the ratification of an arrangement
previously made, and that arrange
ment included the withdrawal of
the k-Patterson ticket, which
entered Rle contest with much
eclat under circumstances which,
to say the least, possessed some
features of legerdemain.
But, lest we forget, let it be stat
ed that Mr.. HOrner was selected
(and we repeat the word Select
ed') under the presumption that
he was a Republican. He may be.
The Bee does not deny that he is.
Mr.. HOrner best knows his own
predictions. But it is said, and
we presume Ii can be substantiated,
that under the Cleveland admins
tration Mr.. Homer filed his ap-
plication for the office of Minister
to Liberia. Now, it is not pre-
sumed that Mr.. HOrner would ap-
ply for a position under the Dem
ocrats if he did not feel satisfied
that he was a Bourbon Democrat.
Mr.. HOrner is too consistent to at
tempt to deceive the Democratic
party.
But, on April 3, 1908, just a
few days prior to the alleged cleo
ton at which Mr.. Horner was "se-
lected" a delegate to the Republi
can National Convention, his ap-
plication, and all papers purpOrt-
ing his application were withdrawn
from the State Department.
Now, did Mr.. Homer withdraw
them himself? And if so, for
what reason? It can hardly be ex-
pected that anyone else was so
deeply interested as to go to the
State Department and withdraw
them without Mr.. Horner's con-
sent.
Those papers, and that applica-
ton for a position under a DEM
ocratic administration, can only be
accepted as prima facie evidence
of Mr.. Horner's Democracy. And
there was no earthly excuse, at
that time. for A Negro to be a
Democrat, and there is far less ex-
cuse for a Negro being one at this
time.
Mr.. Horner has been bitterly as
sailing Secretary Taft, yet the TO-
tund Secretary never did file an
application for position under the
Democrats.
VIII Mr.. Homer, the select
ed" delegate, please step forth and
announce to an impatiently wait
ing public when the leopard
changed his spots? The columns
of The Bee are open to you, Mr..
Homer, TO explain why you ap-
piled for the position of Minister
to Liberia under Grover Cleve- |
land, and why you withdrew the |
papers, or someone acting for you, |

German Paper Discusses Speech of M.
DeIcasse.

Berlin, Jan. 2S.-The temperance
on the scene of international politics
of NJ. Delcasse, who retired from the
post of minister of foreign affairs for
France in the summer of 1905 be-
cause of the crisis which had arisen
in connection with the Moroccan sit
uation, is the subject Of an inspired
article in the Cologne Gazette, which
says: t..
whether or not the present is a
suitable moment for France to bring
up old controversies is a question for
the French government and people to
decide: We are of the contrary opin-
ion The Moroccan question cannot
yet be regarded from a historical
standpoint; it should be considered
rather as a center of the liveliest in
terest and it may yet lead to discus
sion between France and Germany
which will not be made easier by a
leading politician, such as M. Del
casse,t striking Chauvinistic notes
amid the applause of the chamber.
The fact that M. Delcasse's declara-
ton regarding Morocco in the cham
Der of deputies last week called forth
applause from a large section of the
house confirms our view that clever
Chauvinism always impresses a
French audience We must, under
these circumstances, maintain the

Justice McKenna delivered a dis
senting opinion favorable to. the law,
in which he said the courts decision
proceeds along very narrow lines.
The case came to the supreme court
on a, writ of error from the United
States district court for the Eastern
district of Kentucky. Affair is the
master mechanic of the Louisville and
Nashville road and he was proceeded
against on the charge of threatening
to discharge from the employ of the
company locomotive engineer named
Coppage because the latter was a
member of labor union. The act of
1895, which was one Of the results of
the great Chicago strike, was invoked
for Coppage's protection and the dis
trict court fined Adair $780, The con-
stitutionality of the act was strenu-
ously attacked in the district court by
the railroad attorneys and when the
decision was announced they prompt
ly brought the case to the supreme
court with the result that the decision
of the lower court was reversed In
his decision Justice Harlan held it
was Adair's right to serve his en-
ployer as best he could so long as he
did nothing forbidden by law as con-
trary to the public welfare.
