SOME OLD ACQUAINTANCEs

One day last week | was in Roslyn,
Washington, and while there met James E.
Shepperson, and as I stood talking to him
it did not seem to me that he had grown
day older. He was big man then in that
section of the state and is still big man.
Twenty-seven years ago, in a way. he was
running the mines at Roslyn and while he
has of recent years been absolutely divorced
from both the mines and the mine operators.
yet "Shep' is still ace high there among
both the colored and white miners. He
operates soft drink parlor in Roslyn and
impressed me as having money to burn, al
though he did not let any of the hot stuff
touch me while discussing things in general.
He has always been a cheerful as well as
liberal giver to every charitable and needy
cause that comes along. though he investi-
gates every proposition before he gives.

In my rounds OF recent date called upon
Walter Washington at his home, where ne
has lived for the past twenty-seven years
and found him in more or less prosperous
condition. If he is any older than when I
was introduced to him twenty-seven years
ago, | did not realize it. Walter is making
good living now and is one of the very
few men of Seattle that has made his sixty
foot lot help him cut down the high cost
of his living. On his lot each year he raises
fruit and vegetables sufficient for his family
use until those commodities are again in
season. When I first met Mr. and Mrs.
Walter Washington they had two sons and
subsequently a girl was born to them One
of the sons and the daughter have died, the
other son, in rather poor health. is with
them. but they are in good health and
looking fine.
Jim Murray is neither dead nor is he
living in another section Of the country.
as has been from time to time reported and
this [ know as I met him face to face and
saw him as he is, but few days AGO while
making my rounds of the city. Twenty
seven years ago. when [ first rolled into
Seattle Jim Murray was one of the "bg
ones' and had real money in rolls so large
that they gave one the impression that they
were flash rolls and believe me he did love
to show them. He was stonecutter by
trade and got as high as $40 per day for
his work. which was some money those
days. He was gay bird. but the boys
cused him Of being older by far than he
looked and admitted. But be he as old as
he is or as old as the "boys" think he is,
yet he is still a pretty lively old boy con-
sidering the hard sickness he has undergone.
How much money he actually had then and
how much he actually has at present the
''boys' always were in doubt; but he had
enough to keep them guessing [ write this
that the old timers may know that Jim
Murray is ''still on PRAYING grounds and
pleading terms.'' He lives on Harvard
avenue and is doing somebody.-The Editor.

say. will not find the Negroes cOwed as
were the freedmen of 1S65-7O: they will
find men ready to die for their liberties.
"This is the counsel of madness" says the
Nation: cit leads nowhere but to blOOdshed
without result Yet the editorial in which
the Nation makes this comment is entitled
''The Negro at Bay The same editorial
intimates that BOlshevism already has it's
Negro spokesman, and prophesies that eek
trcmists. anarchists, preachers of sabotage
and violence of every type will find many
recruits if the Negroes just grievances are
not Immediately put in process of removal"
A little more of such presentation Of the
race situation. eXclaims William Marion
Reedy in the st. Louis Mirror, may precipi-
tate what everyone would avert but that,
he goes on to say, is only one side of it.
The other side is that it is folly to dodge
facts, to hide truth. Mr.. Reedy comments
further:
"'The problem can only be solved by fac
ing it understanding y. 1t is not insoluble
either. 1t can be solved by assuring the
black man of his rights and confirming him
in them-even as the way to meet the men
ace of Bolshevism is to redress the just
grievances of the oppressed and exploited
white workingmen. Lynching will not
settle the race question, as espionage acts,
deportatiOns, suppression of public meetings,
will not settle the question of the white
workers right to work under decent cOndi-
tiOlS.
'There is no question of social equality
of races. If such a thing can ever pos
Sib!y be, it must be won by the presently
inferior race through activities other than
cd abn1l oh,
moral development But the nation must
in honor assure the Negro other things 1t
must that he is given justice in the
courts. Denial of justice must not be con-
tinued to he p out the economic exploitation
OF the Negro. He must not be tricked out
of his pay for his labor. He should have
the vote, with whatever honestly applied
qualifications may be devised. All that is
required is that the Negro be recognized as
a human being with the same legal rights
as a white human being and no more. Such
treatment supplemented. of course, by edu-
cation. will eventually generate in the Negro
that self-respect which will enable him to
rule himself and thus command the respect
of Others If the South's peculiar crime
persists, the way to stamp it out is by
orderly process of law, not by lynchings
which cannot but brutalize all the whites
who participate in such descents to the level
Of the creatures who may be guilty of the
worst of crimes''
The Nation adds ''There are now ten
millions of the colored people--ten millions
of unhappy, discontinued Americans. They
ask nothing else than to be good Americans
but they will not wait much longer to be
led 1t is idle to put upon any group Of
agtators the responsibility for their discon-
tent. The moment it was decreed that they
should learn the alphabet. it was decreed
that there should be discomfort 1t is
just and divine discomfort

Mr.. Francis Russell. song leader. "was
on card that was handed the editor hereof.
That he was a song leader we had already
learned after hearing him direct a song
service at the Grace Presbyterian church
last Tuesday evening. He will have SINH
lar service at the Mount Zion Baptist church
next Tuesday evening, and we hope the
house will be packed. His object is to en-
courage community singing, making a
speciality of the war songs sung over
There.' The services are absolutely free,
not even silver offering taken up. You
will certainly enjoy them and again we urge
yo ,to come out and help to sing the songs
you used to sing.

SUGAR EXPORTS
SHOW INCREASE

Washington, Dec. 23.-In the face
of growing scarcity of sugar, more
than a billion and a quarter pounds
of sugar, valued at nearly $97,000,-
900, were exported from the United
States during the first ten months of
the present year, a Department Of
Commerce report issued today shows.
Exports, which went largely to the
United Kingdom and France, exceed,
ed in quantity 339 per cent the a,
mount sent out of the country during
the same period last year.
While this sugar was being shipped
out of the country American i'm.
porters brought in more than eight
and a quarter billion pounds, valuec
at S461, ,424 900. The imports increas
ed only 27 per cent. which in com
parison with the much larger export
increase, officials were of the opin
ion, undoubtedly accounts at least ir
part of the difficulties the American
housewife is having in obtaining su
gar from her grocer.

Another radical departure from
the present military system will be
the substitution of the term sfservice"
for corps, provision being made for
designating the quartermaster, judge
advocate, ordnance and similar
branches, would be guided by eligi-
biIity instead of seniority, selections
being made from a selected list.
The subcommittee also plans to
overrule the recommendations of Sec
retary Baker and Gen. March, chief
of staff, to have the chemical warfare
service combined with the engineer
ing corps and instead will make the
former a separate service along with
the branches.

RADICAL CHANGE IN
= ARMY ORGANIZATION

Washington, Dec. 23.-Legislation
which would amount to a virtual re-
organization of the army with protec-
ton from outside attack as a primary
purpose AMI with compulsory military
training for boys from 18 to FL years
of age as leading feature has been
agreed upon tentatively by the Senate
military subcommittee, considering a
permanent military policy for the ma
ton. Senator Wadsworth, of New
York chairman of the subcommittee,
said tonight the legislation would be
put in final work during the Christ
mas recess of Congress, to be pre-
sented to the Congress when the Sem
ate reconvenes.
Committees Bill New.
The legislation as agreed upon by
the subcommittee, Senator Wads-
worth said, is completely new and
bears no resemblance to the army re-
organization bill drafted by the gen.
eral staff and transmitted to the
House and Senate military commit
tees by Secretary Baker.
While various minor details of the
plan remain. to be worked out the
committees present agreement Sena-
tor Wadsworth said, calls for per-
manent standing peace army of $780,
900, although the committee may pos
sibly reduce this number in the final
draft of the bill. The smallest posi-
Bile standing army that will meet the
demands of this country is the aim
of the subcommittee, Chairman
Wadsworth said.
Citizen Army Provided.
One big army composed of the reg
ular army as now recognized and a
reserve of citizens army is provided
in the tentative legislation. Of the
latter army the National Guard would
be a part, although the details of the
organization of that service remain
to be worked out.
Youths within the prescribed age
limits would be required to take four
months military training, with pro-
vision made for either the regular
ormy or the National Guard of the
various States being used in furnish
:ng this training. The youths, how
ever, would be given an opportunity
| . elect either taking this training in
