DAVIDSON may URGE
RETENTION Of BRUCE
Superintendent of Schools Ex.
pected to Defend His AS
sistant Against Charges.

That Supt William M. Davidson, at the
meeting Of the board Of education March
20. will recommend the retention in the
service Of Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant
superintendent Of schools, Is confidently
expected by members Of that body. It is
fairly we'll understood that Dr.. Davidson's
mind has been made up to recommend
briefly that the criticisms directed against
his assistant in charge Of colored schools
be dismissed and that the matter be
dropped. The board has not interfered
with DR.. Davidson's study of the colored
made a visit to practically every colored
school In the District and has satisfied
himself with every existing condition.
No formal charges have been made
against Assistant Supt. Bruce in open
meeting OF the board, but lengthy criti-
the members Of the board and to Supt.
Davidson in the Franklin building. behind
closed doors. The sentiment against Mr..
Bruce had been gathering Roadway for a
superintendent Of schools, and the matter
was one Of the first troubles to be pre-
scented to the new superintendent.
Problem Difficult to Handle.
Both Mr.. Bruce's friends and his op-
ponents have been extremely busy since
that time. Those who oppose his con-
tinuauce in office make criticism OF his
educational and executive methods; and
have made exhaustive statements of their
reasons to DIR. Davidson. Those who are
friendly to him have made tho statement
that the criticisms arise from purely per-
sonal matters, such as appointments ana
promotions. Both sides Of the questions
have been so persistent In their campaign
ing that the problem has been difficult
one for DIR. Davidson to handle
It was put up to the superintendent
several weeks ago. Since that time those
who know the board and its members say
that the superintendent has not intimated
to them what his action will be. but 1t is
also believed that he has found no fault
with his assistants administration. At
the last meeting Of the board r. r. Hor-
ner reminded DR.. Davidson that the mat
ter was still unsettled, to which DR.. Da-
wilson replied his report would soon be
submitted.
Should Dr.. Davidson make his recon-
mendation. the action Of the board will
be necessary to put the matter to an end.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT

Once again Theodore Roosevelt is
candidate for president. He has
announced that my position is per-
feetly simple. He interprets the
third term to mean three terms in
succession and from this construct
ion he is willing to fill a third term
for president of the United States
if the peelpe will elect him.
First, can he be nominated by the
Republicans and if he We're to be
come president for a third term
what would he do?
And the query is pertinent: What
has he done for the people?
Did he not serve the interests of
the many trusts to a greater de-
gree than he has helped what is
called the common people, the toll
ers in the fields and workshop, in a
sense the wage earners.
II is being urged by some of
Rooseyelt's friends that strong
man should succeed Mr.. Taft.
What is the matter with Mr.. Taft?
Is he not the equal if not better
man than Mr.. Roosevelt, if less
blustery and clustering?
Theodore Roosevelt should not re
~ on hero worshipping as even the
greatest of heroes must pale and be
come dull when forced too often on
the American people.

TAFT DISAPPROVES.
Opposes Government Acquiring
Telegraph Lines.

President Taft opposes Postmaster
General Hitchcock recommendation
for government ownership of teie-
graph lines and so declared himself
in message to congress. He favors
the recommendation for an increase in
the postal rates of certain classes OF
periodicals,
AS to the government ownership OF
telegraph lines, with administration
through the postoffice, as is done in
England, the chief executive says that
he does not favor this proposition,
not thinking it in accordance with the
best public policy to increase number
of public servants.
Continuing, the message says: 'Of
course, if il could be shown that the
telegraph service could be furnished
to the public at less price than now
and with equal efficiency the argu-
ment might be strong one in favor
of the adoption of the proposition, but
| am not satisfied from any evidence
that If these properties we're takea
over by the government they could he
managed any more economically or
any more efficiently. or that lhis would
enable the government to furnish ser
vice at any smaller rate than the pub.

The Dallas-Oak Cliff viaducl was
dedicated in the presence of what was
termed a crowd that covered about
ten acres-some 100, 900 people. The
occasion was Washington's birthday
anniversary and the day anideal one.
Previous to the ceremonies there
was parade that required an hour
to pass a given point. In it were 400
automobiles, 200 other vehicles and
hundreds of citizens on foot. In one
automobile were Governor and Mrs.
Colquitt. Down Main street went the
parade and then to the viaduct. which
was crossed to Oak Cliff.
After the speakers and guests of
honor were seated on the platform,
near where boat was moored during
the Trinity river food of May, 1908,
hundreds of school children sang
America.
Pigeons were then liberated by Miss
Louise Murphy, the sponsor of the vi
aduct and her sixteen maids of hon
Or. Holding one of the birds and
kissing it before turning it loose Miss
Murphy said: my dear bird, liber.

including Hobsonizing the birds. In

Governor Colquitt and others made
addresses, after which band played
