DIR THIRKIELD

The Thanksgiving sermon OF DR..
, Thirkield on the 25th of last month,
at the Metropolitan Church, Four and
half and { Streets, northwest, was
no doubt one of the ablest sermons
that ever fell from the lips of man.
The church was packed. 1t recalled
the days of Grant and other eminent
men who attended that church when
the late DR.. Newman held his audi
ence spellbound. Without fear or
favor DR.. Thirkield took up the
cause of the colored Americans and
defended them. He told his hear
ers that it was preposterous to think
of sending the colored race out of
the United States. He said that the
foreigner fresh from his native land
cones to this country with the
bomb in his hands, that in the his
tory of the colOred race you have
failed to find any bomb throwers f;
you see no strikes among the color
ed people and they come nearer do
ing like the white American race
than any other nationality upon this
globe Instead of driving the color
ed people away from home, great
men like DR.. Thirkield will make a
similar defense of the coTored Ameri-
can race. There may be some bad
ones among us, but there are no
bomb throwers and strikers, no mat
ter how bad they are otherwise.
You should do all in your power
to protect them, declared Dr. Thirk-
ield. The Bee extends its thanks to
the distinguished president of How
ard University and hopes that the
day is not far off when other great
men like DR.. Thirkield will make a
similar defence of the cOlOred
American race. There may be some
bad ones among us, but, there are
no bomb throwers and strikers, nc
matter how bad they are otherwise
The colored man is grateful He
knows his friends and while many
are oppressed and lynched the mas
ses will do their duty, and wher
DR.. Thirkield said that there are nc
bomb throwers among Our people
md they arc loyal to the Republic
he paid a deserving tribute to a

served well and faithfully he should
remain and increase the number OF
appointments by creating new places
The few colored men in office
doesen't half pay US, Mr.. President,
for our faithful adherance and fdeli-
ty to the Republican party. You
have decided not to appoint any
more colored men South who may
be Objectionable to the white people.
Whenever there is an office to give
away and a white man, South, wants
it all that the objectOrs must do is to
protest against the colored man, Mr..
President. | have been waiting for
a great number of years, Mr.. Presi-
dent, but it seems that the longer ]
wait for something to turn up the
further it gets from me. 1t is a
question with colored Americans OF
this country whether it would not
be best to turn up something. You
have been office long enough, MIR
President, to take the appointments
of colored men out of the hands OF
your Cabinet officers and consider
them yourself. A local paper that
has always been inimical to the col
ored people makes some predictions
We take no more stock in this local
sheet, Mr. President, than you dc
in considering Ben. Tillman for the
Court of St. James. You should
take the advice of a few impartial
colored non-applicants for Office,
Mr.. President. If you do, I feel
confident that you will not go astray
l hope in my next to discuss the
matter of colored appointments
more fully, Mr.. President, and until
then believe me to be,
Yours truly,

Washington, D. c., Nov. 80, 1909.
To the President of the United
States.
My dear Mr. President
l address you this open letter for
fear that you may not know that
there are ninety thousand colored
people in this city who have been
oppressed and Disseminated against
for number of years. Republican
and Democratic Presidents have
appointed Commissioners for the
District Of Columbia and at no
time have any of these Commission
ers seen fit to appoint a colored citi-
zen to a representative position.
The Democratic Commissioners.
Mr.. President, are supposed to look
after the interest of his Democratic
constituents and not Republicans.
What will be most pleasing, Mr..
President, to your 90 thousand col
Ored citizens is the appointment of
good, liberal men the successors of
Messrs. West and Macfarland. Of
course the people would very much
prefer that they don't accept the
resignation of Mr. West, because
his successor is hard to find, with
but one exception, and that excep-
tion is Captain James F. Oyster.
am confident that Captain Oyster
would give us ali a square deal
which we have not heretofore re-
ceived, only from the Democratic
Commissioner, Mr. West. Colored
citizens are told Mr.. President that
they should not apply for office.
Why it is our Constitutional right to
apply for any place in the gift OF
your a administration. There is q
great deal of dissatisfaction among
colored men throughout the coun-
try. Mr.. President, but | have en-
deavored to oppose this discomfort
by informing your faithful allies
that your interest to do the right
thing towards them. l hope you
will not disappoint them, Mr.. Presi-
dent, because we shall need them in
1912. The colored voter is becom-
ing restless and something must be
done to satisfy him. He may not be
a factor in the South, Mr.. President,
but he is in the North, East and
West.
Referring again to the commits
sionership, I hope that you will
make no mistake in the appoint
ment. We want no Psalm singers
Mr.. President, amen corner shout
ers or Christian Endeavor pretend
ers. We want good and honest mer
