WARMING SOUNDED.

We have been asked when will
this apparently interminable fight
upon colored school officials termi-
nate. The question is one that al
most answers itself-when the
present three colOred members of
the Board of Education are a de
lightful reminisCenCc. The par
ents OF the thousands Of colored
pupils attending the public schools
are weary of the continued assaults,
without reason and without cause,
upon a capable. earnest and efficient
assistant superintendent OF schools
by people who have only a selfish
end in view-by persons who have
not the welfare OF the schools al
heart.
Prof. Tunnel, supposedly pro
fessor of History at Howard Uni
versitv, unfortunately. both for the
public schools and for Howard
University. is a member of tn,
school board, and apparently, be
Ecvcs it to be his one and unbound
ed duty to make war upon Mr.
Bruce. If Prof, Tunnel has st
much time. or rather, if he cal
spare so much time from Howard
University to devote to the prose
cution and persecution Of a NOR
capable and more efficient, and
less selfish public servant, then
argues. in this period Of striving
at and for economy. that the poSi
ton he holds as supposed protes
sor of history at Howard can b
abolished, and that Congress ca
we'll decline to this year appropriat

PRESIDENT TAFT.

1t is strange to see so many To-
cal statesmen for President Taft
now. Some time ago a Taft man
could not be found. The woods
are full of Taft would-be conven-
ton candidates. There are men
declaring for Mr.. TAFT who have
heretofore declared for a Demo
cratic President. The columns ot
the Washington Herald would
make interesting reading if the
many excerpts were taken iron
that paper and printed. Republi.
cans are warned to look out fo1
these sharks and invite them tC
seek other quarters.

TYLER'S LEADERSHIP.

There is no man in this county
who has a more level head and good
Judgment in affairs Of government
than Mr.. Ralph w. Tyler. auditor
for the NAVY. His associates and
companions are the people who have
confidence in him, and respect him
for his loyalty to his friends Mr..
Tyler. regardless of conditions or
circumstances. can always be relied
on to do his duty towards his fel-
lowman. His leadership IS wise
and judicious, and he very seldom
makes a mistake. The Bee has al
ways found in Mr.. Tyler many
manly qualities. No man loves his
race any more than the Ohioan.
Under his wise and judicious lead
ership the colored voters will not
90 astray.

in the morning to find that the Taft

all opposition to his denomination

will exist as to his reelection, and

MAJOR BROOKS.

There IS no man in this CITY
more respected than Major Arthur
Brooks. The success of our High
and Armstrong Manual Training
school cadets is due to Major Ar
thur Brooks. The ninety thousand
citizens in this CITY with but two or
three single exceptions are with
Major Brooks, and will stand by
him. The schools may always feel
safe when Captain James F. Oys-
ter is behind them. Then again,
for once in the history Of our
schools, there is level-headed man
at their head in the person OF Su-
perintendent Davidson. No teacher
Is in danger of being unfairly
treated when those two men are
sitting in council. Major Brooks
is an honorable and upright man,
and The Bee and the people have
in him. May he con-
tinue to handle the militia of our
schools.

Washington has more paper
colored political organizations than
any other city under the sun. And
just now, on the eve Of Presi-
dental campaign, the printers are
kept busy getting out letterheads
for fake organizations. A type
written letter on a fancy letter
head bearing the conjured-up
name OF an organization may bring
a reply, but no cash. The golden
olden days when political piracy
was easy has passed. The men at
the helm today arc practical men
who investigate before they invest.
