DIR. CORROTHERS.

The religious meetings that
are held in Galbraith Church,
DR.. S. L. Corrothers, pastor, are
the largest and best attended that
have ever been held in that
church. There have never been
such crowds attending these
services before. DIR. Corrothers
has certainly got the people with
him. AS a religious orator his
equal cannot be found. His ser
mons are effective and COnvinc-
ing to his hearers.
DR.. Corrothers may have his
faults, but, there is no man in
the pulpit who is appreciated by
his people, more than this we'll
known pulpit orator. Galbraith
church should keep him as long
as possible, or until it is impos-
sible for him to remain.
Ben Tillman threatens the
president. It is only a threat.
He should clear himself of the
charges agaist him.

ton will surely come.

currency of the greatest govern
ment in the world. Another
story sent out as to the so-called
statements of a young man just
from Kansas, is to the effect that
Mr.. Vernon has little strength
in Kansas. The Bee finds that
no young colored man has just
come from Kansas. That false
hood was patched up and sent
out from here.
The newspapers mean well,
! they are simply imposed upon
by an untruthful Washington
correspondent, whom the people
of Washington neither respect
or believe.
Mr.. Vernon's term is not near
| ly out and when he takes his
second term, which he can get,
and we trust he will accept, such
stories will certainly end-let us
hope.
As to his political influence,
some others would be glad if
they had it. Backed by the great
African Methodist Episcopal
Church; enjoying the friendship
of its Bishops who with him so
heartily supported President
elect Taft, we wager his church
will see these tricksters when
they accomplish their nefarious
schemes. enough for this.
Again the article accuses Mr..
Vernon of opposing his assistant
with whom his relations are
most cordial. The object again
| is to destroy his popularity. 'Tis
deep laid scheme and we ex-
pose it now that all lovers of de-
cency may understand. May the
honest, fair citizens of Washing
ton and the country know the
truth. We trust men like DR..
Washington, the Bishops of the
African Methodist Episcopal
Church and others understand
these treacherous men.
The Bee knows who is at the
bottom of it all and if this does
not cease names will be called
and reasons will. be given. We
shall regret to go further. We
hope for the sake of decency
and right that this contemplate
misrepresentation and low cun-
lining will cease. The race de-
mands it. Enough is enough.
MR.. TAFT'S SPEECH....
The address of President-elect
Taft to the colored citizens of
Atlanta, Georgia, should be food
for thought for them. Colored
Americans must come to the con-
clusion that they must be up and
doing if they wish to be recog-
nized factors in the American
body polite.
Mr.. Taft is sincere. He doesn't
mean by that speech that he has
deserted the colored man and
neither does he mean that he has
or will surrender to the preju-
dices of the South. He means
that good citizens will be ap-
pointed to positions regardless of
the color of their skin. They
must not only be good citizens,
but they must be qualified to fill
the positions for which they ap-
ply, and be recommended by the
best citizens of the place in which
they live.
Mr.. Taft has given out that he
will be the president of all the
people. regardless of nationality
or politics. The Bee has the
most implicit confidence in the
honesty and integrity OF Mr..
Taft and his high appreciation of
colored Americans.
What IS the colored man south
doing to commend himself to ad-
ministration powers?
What is he doing to make HIM
self a factor?
The Washington bee., 1909-01-23
A SOCIAL ROW.

Just as The Bee predicted,
that there would be a social row
for the social leadership. DR..
Bruce Evens, OF the Inaugural
Welcome Club announced some
time ago that the citizens of
Washington would meet and
suggest plans for the entertain
ment of visitors during the week
of the Inauguration, and the
moment that he committed this
grave offence an effort would be
made to off set his plans by the
establishment of another social
organization. Why have two
receptions is the question that
is being asked, Why resurrect
the Monacon Club?
Four years ago there were
tree distinct social public func-
tions, namely, the Monacon
Club, the Inaugural Welcome
Club and the Native Washing
tonians..
From the report elsewhere in
The Bee, the split was precipita-
ted by the nomination OF Mr..
lanes A. Cobb by Mr.. Robert
H. Terrell, who is charged with
having attempted to control the
Mu-So-Lit Club. Just how
much truth there is to this
charge The Bee is unable to
state. But it is a fact, however,
that certain members of the Mu-
So-Lit Club have withdrawn
and Joined the Monacon Club.
What the out come will be
time will tell.
NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE
The local Negro Business
League is a fixture in this city.
Mr.. w. Sidney Pittman is en-
deavoring to organize the Negro
Business Men into an organiza-
ton Every business man in the
community should connect him
self with this organization.
Heretofore the organization
was burdened with people who
followed no business whatever.
They connected themselves with
the organization for personal
gain. The organization invites
all persons of good character and
who are conducting business in
the community.
1t is surprising to know the
number of business men and
women in this city. President
Pittman, with the assistance Of
others, means to have a strong
organization.
TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT. q.
The only charge that Senator
Ben Tillman makes against the
president is that he promoted a
iColored man to a ST 600 clerkship.
It is a tempest in teapot" and
the presidents wife has a mes
senger on the rolls as a printer.
Tillman's charge reminds The
Bee of a man under water gasp
ing for breath. In both cases the
president is condemned for doing
acts of kindness TO his fellow
man. The charges are too ridic-
uIous to discuss.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2.-Worried by
the responsibility of assisting the ae-

Curtiss in preparations for their ae-

Quartermaster Sergeant James Caron,

shooting himself through the head
with rifle.
Caron had been delegated to assist
Wright and Curtiss in the prepara-

two days, and this seemed greatly to
excite him. During the late afternoon
yesterday when Wright was prepar-

Caron served four years in the Phil

AN EXCELLENT SERMON.

President Taft is showing that he is
a more versatile man than has been
vealed himself as a capital preacher.
He found his text naturally and pro-
perly in Holy Scripture and deliv-
cred a homily or eXhortation on the
subject Of pleasant speaking.
"A soft answer turneth away
wrath: but greviOus words stir up
anger" is one OF the wise sayings at
tributed to King Solomon 1t is &
statement of universal truth which
President Taft wishes to bring home
to the American people VINO as gen
eral rule with Anglo SaXons generally
have failed to appreciate. President
Taft is himself a splendid exemplar of
the policy and practice which he en-
forces in others. 1t is a good Sunday
lesson for the American people.
He would have us take example by
Tile OTlenC1l anu AdtIll races anu Cul-
tivate gentleness of speech and cOur-
tesy in manners. to abstain from at
tributing bad motives to those who
differ with us, to avoid acrimonious

our fellow men. He reminds US that
a mans life with his family is not
made out of grand stand plays. but
of little acts and self restraints That
go to make up a mans character. We
may well learn, he tells us, from the
men of southern chimes to Introduce

this time the sun was not particular
