PERRY CARSON WEDS AGAIN
Well-Known Negro Takes a Bride at
Sixty-nine
Sixty-nine and again a benedict.

Sixty-nine and again a benedict.
That is the score made last Thurs
day by Uncle" Perry Carson, one of
he best known Negroes in. the Dis
trict. Alice NJ. Carter, ,hfty-two years
ola, is the bride.
"I just got married to keep prom
ise and because I am getting old and
want some one to take care of me, "
said Uncle Perry, whem seen at his
hom, o2o Third street, northwest, last
night
Uncle Perry Carson is one of the
oldest Negroes in the District He
had been connected with the munici-
pal government for forty years up to
the time he resigned about ten
month ago
He has been a delegate to several
Republican conventions. He was first
appointed to office by s. ]. Bowen,
first Republican mayor of2Washing-
ton. When the form Of government
was changed and the present plan
adopted, he was reappointed by Gov
ernor Cook.
Colonel Carson was a power in the
District during the days of suffrage,
welding an immense influence and
having a large following. In add
ton to the Offices he filled referred. to
above, he served the late Governor
Shepard as confidential messenger.
EXECUTIVE ORDER.
lanes NJ. Alexander, of Los Ange-
The Washington bee., 1909-07-24

Negroes in the State are disfran-
chised. Not one-fourth has paid
the poll tax. What showing will
the Negro voters Nmake at the
polls. Instead of advising the
colored people to worry over a
Negro ticket, The Bee would sug-
get that these men advise the
colored men to stick to their
farms and let Negro politicians
attend to their own business and
do their own voting.
Suppose a Negro governor
could be elected, what would he
do? Former experience in other
States demonstrated the fallacy
of Negro and carpet-bag rule.
The Bee would be pleased to
see Negroes given the power to
rule, but they should first learn
the science of government The
Negro lacks the power of cohe-
sion. He can't appreciate the ell
ovation of one of their number.
1t would no the long, if a Negro
governor were elected. before he
would be assassinated by one OF
his own people. Every Negro in
the State would want to be gov
ernor and the revocation in Haiti
would be. only a mOckery to
those that would exist in the
State of Virginia under Negro
rule.
If, these men who are antici-
pating placing a Negro ticket in
the field would stop to think for
a moment they would advise the
plow. the hoe, and the spade on
a farm.
The condition Of the colored
Americans in this country is due
to the unwise act of Negro politi-
clans. They have been an i'm
pediment to the Negro Ameri-
cans. They are for self, and not
for the masses. The masses can
not be benefited by few holding
offices. There are more import
ant things for the Negro to seek
than after a few petty offices.
The masses must be benefited,
and not a few Negro Office poll
ticians.

WHICH WAY

One can generally tell the di-
rection of the wind by feeling it
when it blows. The sentiment
of the citizens meeting at True
Reformers" Hall last Monday
evening against one of the speak
ers is an evidence of how the
people feel on the Negro school
question. 1t is to the regret of
the taxpayers that there should
be such a division in the Negro
schools. If there has been any
favoritism shown it should be in
vestigated.
The Bee is informed that an
official requested another official
to mark down certTn teacher
Now, if such things exist in the
Negro schools they should be
remedied Immediately.

WHERE IS DR.. WASHING
TON?

Under the above caption, The
Brooklyn Eye, in its last issue,
ran an editorial, from which we
quote the following:
Having lost faith in the fair
ness of the United States SUI
pTeme Court, several bishops of
the African Methodist Episcopal
Church made a complaint before
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in reference to discrimi-
nation on account of color prac-
ticed by southern railroads. The
commission dismisses the COM
plant and the matter is closed.
why does not DR.. Booker T.
Washington, in as much as he
has been designated leader of
AfrO-Americans, lend the power
of his influence towards securing
a favorable decision when such
matters as these come up?"
Where was DIR. Washington
when the earth quaked at San
Francisco? Where was he when
Messina in Italy fell? Where
was he when Martinique was en-
gulfed with the burning lava
from old Mont Pelee? 1t is just
as reasonable to ask the above
questions as to ask where was
DR.. Washington in the case be
fore the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The purpose of The
Eye was to convey the impress
sion that Dr. Washington had no
sympathy with the case of the
bishops, and that had he been in
terested a decision would have
been rendered favorable to the
bishops. The fact is this case
was primarily and secondarily
the bishops case, They manag-
ed it exclusively, and had they
succeeded would have taken all
the glory. NowGthat they failed,
by allowing their case to be con-
ceded out of court, the enemies
OF DIR WASHINGTON are not Onlv
willing, but anxious, that the
Doctor accept the Onus for de-
feat. We do not say that
Dr.. Washington, had he had the
case to manage, would have Sc
cured a fayorable decision, but
we do say that had DR.. Wash
ingtOn been consulted as to how
to proceed, the attorney he would
have suggested would not have
conceded the case out of court
These anti-Washingtonites deal
E exclusively in advice, while DR.
Washington deals in practical
and tangible benefits. They deny
him credit for what he does &C,
complish, and censure him fol
the failure Of others to accom-
plish what they set out to ac
complish without asking or de
string his aid.
To The Eyes question
Where is DR.. Washington? ?
we can answer that he is con
stantly on his job OF helping the
very persons who, like a pack o
ours, are barking at his heels.

A NEGRO TICKET?

The Bee has been under the
impression that all fool Negroes
had died out, but it sees from a
dispatch to this city that it is
mistaken. The dispatch states,
which will be seen in another
column of The Bee, that the Ne
groes OF Virginia intend to NOM
mate an entire State ticket. Just
what they expect to accomplish

EDUCATIONAL TRUST

There are all kinds of trusts
in this country, but the most no
torious of them all is the Educa-
tional Trust. If some highly eou-
Gated individual would attempt
to establish or organize an indus
trial school or college, and if he
went to certain educators he
would be asked if his enterprise
had the Endorsement of the Ma
tional Educational Board. If he
had no such Endorsement or ap-
proval, no matter how worthy
his enterprise may be, he will be
turned down.
There are bogus and fake III
