Ohio, Auditor for the Navy Depart

record Of which every Negro in the
land should be proud He is a man
or brilliant intellectual attainments,
mastery writer on the problems Of
the day, a skilled journalist, d
hroad-gauged philanthropist and all
active worker in all Of the causes
that tend to elevate and improve the
people Of the community in which
he lives. AS an Off he has been
model Of efficiency, diligence,
punctually and thoroughness. Not
content with following beaten paths
In the performance Of his daily tasks
he has studied carefully the metes
and bounds Of his functions as the
accounting officer Of the Navy De-
p&rtment and has been able from
time to time to suggest changes in
the methods and in the systems en-
| ployed that have won the warmest
approval Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury and Incorporated into the
| regulations Of the Department, re-
' 'sulting in the more rapid handling
OF the accounts OF the office and
saving thousands Of dollars Of the
peoples money.
In looking after the material we.-
fare Of the colored employees Vt the
government, Mr.. Tyler from the day
of his induction into office, has taken
the livliest interest Noting that
the race had no representative In
either branch Of Congress, he saw
that somebody had to go forward

the Departments, who deserved ad-
vancement or recognition, but were
unable to get their cases brought tt

Mr.. Tyler is active in civic and euA

offer Of prizes for excellence in var
lous lines Of useful endeavor and
consistent effort in, behalf of such in
stitutions as the Y. M. C. A., the
Social Settlement House and the
Children's Playground movement.
He offered a prize to children for
the best-kept yards in colored neigh
borhoods; offered a prize Of $50 for
the best essay by a colored student,
open to all colored students in Amer

improving the neighborhoods to an
incalculable extent: The essay prize
was competed for by many
students, and the essays are
now in the hands Of the Judges,
Prof. r. r. Wright, Jr., Prof. Roscoe

These are in. brief, few of the
helpful things Ralph w. Tyler has
