Dr. Shepherd Stirs The Great Commoner Speaks at the Centenary of the American Negro at Mother of Zion A. M. E. Z. Church on "The Negro's Participation in the Ballot"—Receives an Ovation. (Special to The Bee.) New York City, January 1, 1919.—Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham N. C., spoke this evening in Mother of Zion A. M. E. Z. Church, Rev. Dr. J. W. Brown; pastor. The church was crowded to the doors. Hon. E. A. Johnson, the first colored member of the State Legislature, presided. When Dr. Shepard was introduced he was greeted with tremendous applause. He stepped forward and said, in part, as follows: I hope the allies of the world will cation should always point the way "The responsibility rests peculiarly upon the white people of America—to be kind to a less fortunate people or to a more backward race. "I regret to say that in some parts of the Southland, and of the North, for that matter, there is a growing belief on the part of my race that the white man does not intend to give him a fair deal, so that a little feeling of bitterness is unconsciously growing into the hearts of a naturally happy people. Since these two races are to live side by side, to have a mutual understanding. Let there be no strife among us for we are brethren. "I do not advocate social equality in any sense. I do advocate equal rights on public highways; equal protection before the law, and the right and opportunity to work out our salvation, so as to fit us for the best associations of our own race." "I could never favor separate dams on public highways, because it is fundamentally wrong in a republic. In all public places, or on all public conveyances, in all public, county city, state or national privileges there should absolutely be no discrimination on account of color. --- "I hope the allies of the world will do justice to all people; that they will not fail to remember the daring feeds of the black men of Africa; for civilization must not forget that three hundred thousand black men from Africa saved the day for civilization at the first battle of the Marne. I desire, therefore, to see a great state in Africa, ruled over by black men, under the guidance and support of the more favored nations, until this independent state gets on its feet; but I desire this state guarded over and directed by braining of black men, fostering the arts, sciences, literature and music. I desire to see it with a great feet and a large army, ready to land upon any shore where people are oppressed and denied the right of growth. But this state should be primarily for the native Africans, for America is our only deeds of sacrifice and patriotism love and loyalty, and the American nation intends to stay here. So I lay truthfully and recently, with all of its injustices and discriminations, this is our country that loves her and appreciate her." Responsibility of Seeing That Educa Speaking further, Dr. Shepard said: Earlyle says so long as there is any person desirous of knowing and knowledge is denied him, a stupendous tragedy has been enacted. I believe in education. I do not believe in one-sided education, but all of it. You have doubtless heard of Mike. A send asked him one day, 'Mike, are you born in Ireland?' 'Sure I was!' 'Well, what part?' 'All of me!' I believe in all kinds of education, education of the past was what do you know, and then it changed to what can be known, but the education the future will be—what are you?—what can you do? The will must be angered, and that is why I believe Christian education especially for Needs. The Negro is naturally emotional, emotional. There are some who say the Neesite on the banks of the Nile ten thousand years ago and never made it. They don't know; they have not been on thousand years ago the pre-Christian times and not the Christianism. Rome and Greece were dioceses of the higher education; they have passed. The only kind of education that is going last is Christian education. "The religion of the Negro is not practical. "The responsibility rests upon the American citizens to see to it that Christian education is made the rallying cry, and that emotionalism and excitement be not mistaken for region. And always remember that education is given for service. "Never mind obstacles, limitations, difficulties. You are educated in order to surmount them and to over- some. Education Is Given for Patience of Ourselves and for Others. Education is given to find God—to come into closer contact with Him, to have his brother; hence edu- "We have won a great fight to make the world safe for democracy. It has yet to be proved whether deme is the safest thing for the world. "Please follow me closely in the next statement. "When the Negro was emancipated, it would, perhaps, have been a better policy to have granted him a limited suffrage. Many grave blunders were made then too numerous to recall. "Let the past go. "I am almost convinced that just a moment now being made by a failure of a large part of the Negro population in certain sections not seeking the privilege of the ballot for in a republic the only weapon of defense which a minority people has is the ballot, hence it should be carefully guarded, never used as a means of punishment, but to redress wrongs in civil rights. "Proper sanitation, improved streets, representation on jury trials, a fair distribution of educational funds, protection in the courts can never be fully secured without the power of the ballot. "How far this power should be exercised I leave to the wise discretion of leaders in various localities. "Peace is a great thing, and as far as possible let us, as directed in the immortal Emancipation Proclamation, live at peace with all mankind. There are two things, however, better than absolute peace—progress and freedom. "So the responsibility is upon each one of us to lead out of the darkness into the light this backward race, so that there will be no ignorance in the country and therefore no darkness. "Ella Wheeler Wilcox has expressed it, that the Negro's sole de sire is to know. Can it be possible for the black man? I simply point out Douglass, Price, Tanney, Dunbar, Washington. So it is incumbent upon you to let down your buckets where you are, by giving to education, extending a hand of sympathy, and adopting the same motto, of the Woman's. Federated Clubs—'Lifting as We Climb.' It was not sufficient to free him; he must be able to stand before the work of abolition is completed. Responsibility of Dreaming Dreams and Having Large Visions. "The people die where there is no vision. The Apostle Paul said, 'I had a vision.' The Prophet Ezekiel said he had visions of God, and after he had those visions he could foretell wondrous things. He was not fit for prophesying until he had a vision. "The old men shall see visions and the young men shall dream dreams. "Old men talk of the long ago and young men of the days that are now and are to be. America is young, therefore we must dream of what she should be. "A strong country, with brave men enough to fight for freedom and for principles and things that are just and right. forefathers had of liberty, and they fought at Bunker Hill, Concord and Lexington, San Juan, Canizal and the various battlefields of France. various battles "Let us work for the permanency of the race. Let us lay no foundations which the oncoming generations must stoop down and dig up again. Let us remember that racial growth is slow, but let it be sure. "May He hasten the time when the sword shall be beaten into plough-shares and the spears into pruning-hooks; but until that time comes, may we never forget the deeds of daring, of patience, of strength and yet of mercy of our fathers; may they spur us on to greater things and greater deeds, but may we never be such lovers of peace as too proud to lighten truth, for freedom and the gnt. "For we are watchers of a beacon, whose light must never die: We are guardians of an altar midst the silence of the isky." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady of New York, makes public a telegram addressed to Governor Theodore G. Bilbo of Mississippi concernine the lynching at Shubuta, Clarke County, Miss., on Friday night of four Negroes, two of them women, accused of the murder of Dr. E. L. Johnston, a dentist, the Negroes having been taken from jail authorities without effective resistance on their part. The association calls the Governor's attention to the fact that this makes sixty-two lynchings since January 1, 1918, seven of these being in Mississippi, and that five of the victims were women; also that 103 Negroes have been lynched in the twenty months since the United States entered the war and that 19 have been lynched since President Wilson made his appeal to Governors, law officers and citizens of communities to make an end of lynching. A telegram was also sent to Gov- ernor Brough of Arkansas, in which the association asks the Governor what steps are being taken by Arkansas authorities to apprehend the lynchers of Willie Jones, alias C. C. Cunningham, a Negro, who was taken from jail at Newport, Ark., on the night of December 17, without apparent resistance by the jail authorities and lynched by a mob of five hundred; also a copy of a letter to Governor Henderson of Alabama, congratulating the State of Alabama on the finding of 39 indictments by the special grand jury sitting at Tuscumbia, Ala., 24 of these resulting from an inquiry conducted by the Alabama State Attorney General, by direction of the Governor, into the lynching of Will Bird and George Whiteside at Sheffield, Ala., on November 10th. Memphis papers of December 22d state that 14 of the above mentioned 24 alleged members of the lynching mobs had been arrested and warrants were out for the other ten DASDARDLY MURDER. A Probable Clue-No Colored Man Committed the Crime Sensational Developments in a New Days. Detective Beckley is hot on the trail of the murderers of Alexander Warren. The latest development is as to the places that Warren frequented and those he met. On the day of the murder Warren was in company with a person whose name cannot at this time be disclosed. It is supposed that he was cornered while at this house and then killed, and what to do with the body was discussed, and it was decided to carry the body from the house to the lonely spot where it was found. Another theory is that Warren had developed certain pictures for a party and to keep him from testifying he was put out of the way. This last theory is not tangible. The Bee representative will disclose some startling circumstances in a few days leading to the arrest and conviction of the murderers. ANTI-WHITECAP LAW. Senate Chamber Nashville, Tenn. My Dear Senator: My Deal Senator Recently press dispatches disclose the information that our Arthur Mills has obtained a charter from the Secretary of State at Nashville for an organization known as the Columbian Union. Quotation from the Chattanooga Times, December 12, the story of the birth of this organization is told, in which it said that the purposes of the order are surrounded with the traditions of the past and are among the most unusual secret organizations yet attempted. And that the organizers anticipate class or racial troubles following the demobilization of Negro soldiers on their return home from the battlefields. The literature of the organization indicates, and its author and organizer, Arthur Mills, specifically sets forth that this organization is the outgrowth of a desire to perpetuate the Klu Klux Klan of other days. This organization is in direct violation of the Houl Anti-Whitecap Law, that, after a persistent fight in the Serate, you had placed upon the statutes of Tennessee. I trust that by resolution or other means you will have this charter annulled and direct the Attorney General of the State to prosecute every member of this infamous scheme. Disbanding an organization with such un-American purposes will go a long way towards making Tennessee alph Tyler, Idol of the Soldiers Our Correspondent Writes Paris, Dec. 9, 1918. Wm. C. Chase, Esq. Washington, D. C. Well, the colored soldiers will shortly be home. It will be good to see the Statue of Liberty again, and we Washington boys will welcome a sight of old Penns Avenue, and especially Seventh, You and Fourteenth Streets. We have had a good time in France. We fought the Boche and won. We did all we could for world democracy. I met Ralph Tyler, the colored war correspondent, in Nancy yesterday on his way to Brest. I hardly knew him. His black hair is white now and so is his mustache. He has gone through enough to make anthemic coal white. He was, however, in good health and looked rugged. He has certainly been an angel to the who endure all the handships of the war for a world's democracy. Upon their return home, shall they find a "Columbian Union" that is as vicious as the damnable cultur of the Hun? Very respectfully, Joseph M. Trigg, President District of Columbia Tennessee Society. Washington, D. C., December 31, 1918. LYNCHING CONTINUES. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady of New York, announces the receipt of a reply from the Governor of Texas concerning the lynching of Charles Shipman in Fort Bend County, Texas, in November, in which the Governor's secretary says that the Governor has referred the matter to the Adjutant General of the State for investigation. In reply to the inquiry of a Jackson (Miss.) paper as to whether he would make any reply to the inquiry, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People concerning what he was going to do about the lynching of four Negroes, two of them young women, one young girl being sixteen and one boy fifteen years old, the Governor of that State said: "No, not tonight, but I might give you a little advance information to the effect that I will tell them, in effect, to go to h——" BETHEL LITERARY.

HAPPY NEW YEAR. To our friends and foes. Let's get together and teach the enemy a lesson. What colored soldiers in France. They idolize him. But this war has aged him twenty years. He told me that he would not go through voluntarily again what he has gone through the past three months for all the gold in the world. I understand we, that is our outfit, will be sailing for home some time between now and the 20th of December. We all hope to be in old America by January 1st. Ain't seen a Bee for nearly a year. It will be good to get back to little old Washington just to get The Bee each week. Look out for the Washington boys. They will hit Washington some time about the first of the year. Tell the people there to prepare to receive us, because we have done the work and have brought the bacon home. Regards to you, and Calvin, Jr. JUDGE TERRELL SPEAKS. Robert H. Terrell, of Washington D. C., addressed an audience that crowded to its doors the First Baptist Church here on Sunday afternoon. The meeting was under the auspices of the Colored Y. M. C. A., M. H. and was presided over by Mr. A. F. Williams, the efficient secretary of the organization. Later in the evening Judge Terrell addressed a big mass meeting at the Third Baptist Church, of Hampton, of which Rev. J. T. Johnson is pastor. During his stay here, from December 23 to December 30, Judge Terrell spoke every day, and sometimes three times a day, to the soldiers in the different camps in this locality. The people of Newport News gave the Judge a most cordial welcome. His trip was under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. branch of the National War Council. JUDGE TERRELL SPEAKS TO SOLDIERS IN CAMP Newport News, Va., Dec. 27. Judge Robert H. Terrell is speaking every night to the soldiers in camp. He is receiving an ovation everywhere he speaks. He will leave Newport News for Washington Tuesday morning. A MAN. The address of Mr. Archibald Grimke should be endorsed by every manly American. He is man. Accept congratulations. THE BASKET BALL RACE BEGINNING TO TIGHTEN Washington Sits Up and Takes Notice—Carlyles Fighting Hard to Keep in First Place. The local basket ball situation grows strained. The Carlyles, after winning ten straight games, lost to the "Y" machine. The Incorporators lost a bitter fight to the Navy Gun Factory. Armstrong continued her winning streak. The Grey Jackets won a fast contest from the St. Augustines. Large crowds kept the gallery in an uproar. Pulling with all their might for their favorites, they were not disappointed, but saw sensational shots when a goal meant victory. Tyler, with a one-handed shot from the side lines; Barber with a field goal from the center of the court; Robinson and Rea in short shots kept the "Y" machine at bay for thirty minutes, only to fall before the well oiled attack of the mighty Dash, Dunbar's-Carter, and long armed Libbs, Armstrong "pride." And the guarding in the pinches by Manager Smith and Kenard made this possible. John Green has loaded his tanks with returning soldiers, and now we know why the Kaiser went into retirement. For oh, how those boys fight. Come and see Betters, Carrol, West and Warren perform. The team that beats these boys will be champions of the league. Even the Catholics are determined to win a few games. Little Arthur Brown is a "bird." Tall Frazier, Dunbar's six-foot center, will help that team rise. Holten of Howard has come to their aid. He is needed. Armstrong, with about twenty players on her squad, is playing fast ball. Capt. Amos is one of the most consistent forwards in the league. In Tyler, Hammond and Long, Westmoreland has some fine material to work with. Pinkney and Left-handed Jones are the pillars of the Grey Jackets. Jones is poison with one-handed shots when within twenty feet of the basket. Pinkney is a good player when he grows serious. But usually is trying to make a fool out of an opponent, to the detriment of team work, and often this foolishness acts as a boomerang and swats him hard. The Alcoes have been playing in hard luck. But as long as T. Johnson, Datcher, Baker, Morse and Slim Carter play with the team they are dangerous. For all are good shots. Following is the standing of the league to date: Carlyles ... 12 7 10 804 Incorporators ... 10 8 800 Armstrong ... 13 4 9 602 Alcoes ... 13 5 7 587 Y. M. C. A. ... 9 5 4 414 Navy Gen Factory ... 12 7 5 416 Grey Jackets ... 15 11 4 266 St. Augustines ... 13 13 0 000 The big Y. M. C. A. team is not discouraged by their defeat by the Pittsburgh Giants. They realize that they played good basket ball and lost prior weight and height, rather than to letter writing; they are busy searching for tall and heavy players, and are planning to surprise the next team played. In Ford, who weighs 180 pounds, and is well over six feet tall, the "Y" believe they have a "find," the Miles, former captain of Howard, is out for a position as forward, and his weight is needed. Several good players from the army camps will be drawn on, and the next team will find they have caught a tartar. A Junior Bowling League, with six teams, will start the 4th of January, under the supervision of Mr. A. Lew, Boys' Secretary at the "Y." A Senior Bowling League will start shortly afterwards, with about eight teams. Dr. B. Price Hurst and his sub-committee will be in charge. If you like bowling see him and get on the band wagon. Watch for scores weekly. The pocket, billiard tournament is rapidly coming to a close, under the supervision of John W. Cromwell, Jr. Mr. Fred Byrd and A. Blackwell will play the finals this week. A handicap tournament will start soon. Plans are being made to enter a national swimming and life-saving contest in January. If you can swim see Nathaniel Guy, chairman of the Swimming Committee of the Y. M. C. A. or the Physical Director. As the score will reflect on the whole city, we want every public spirited swimmer to help us put Washington on the map. Wake up to the opportunity. Entries close January 10th, 1010. A Sunday school Basket Ball League is under way. Teams will soon be on the floor. Is your Sunday School going to fail to have an entry? ITEMS ON THE WING. The American Negro Academy held its 22nd annual session here last Friday and Friday. Some of the features were papers on "The Negro's Part in the New Rev construction," by Prof. Kelly Miller; "The Negro and the New Order," by Roscoe C. Bruce, and "Africa at the Peace Conference," by Jno. W. Crummell. The founder of the academy was Rev Alex. Crummell (deceased). Prof. W. H. Ferris, assistant editor of the Christian Recorder of Philadelphia, spoke on Alexander Crummell as an apostle of Negro culture; Dr. A. H. Grimke, president, delivered a strong address upon the matter of equality of right and of opportunity with the whites of America. The Southern cotton fields are getting back none of the Negro labor attracted North by high wages. It has caused serious labor shortage in the South.

Ramsey of New York has been assigned to take charge of the club house by the War Camp Community Service. The soldiers, over seas are kicking about the bone-dry prohibition legislation which Congress has put through during their absence. They are talking of retaliating. Candidates are already mentioned as acceptable substitutes for the Senators and Representatives in Congress who are held responsible. There will be some warm times in the next election, with the colored Americans not satisfied, the railroad people, the hotel keepers, the liquor dealers and the persons who drink. The proper way this prohibition matter should have been arranged would be by the people voting on the same direct in the House. Members of the National Guard of the States called into Federal service, upon their discharge become civilians. Hon. Champ.

Since the United States entered the war, 103 lynchings have taken place, and 26 since President Wilson made an appeal against lynching July 21st—(lynching of a German in the United States). MADAME A.

Bight Is So Commonplace That None of Townspeople Stop to Look on, Even When They Take to "Reading" Shirts. With the American Army.—It hasn't taken long for American youths to become acclimated to the free-and-easy lives of soldiers. They are as frank and as open and as shameless as their French brothers in arms, and a good deal more so than their British comrades. A convoy of American troops halts for a few hours' rest in some French town, not too far from the front but that the distant rumble of the incessant cannonade can be heard, with occasionally the alternating buzz-buzz of a Boche airplane and the dull boom of the archies hurled skyward at it. After "chowing" at the rolling kitchens that accompany them and washing up their mess kits, the doughboys usually turn to their toilers. Even though they are parked in the shade under the tall trees around the public square of the town, that doesn't feaze them a bit. They unpack their safety razors, their shaving soap and brushes and proceed to shave, then and there. But it is such a commonplace sight that none of the townpeople stop to look on. The French children—"les gosses," as the Yanks have already learned to call them in true French argot—gather round, but that is all. "Read" Their Shirts. Then one doughboy who thinks he is a barber enters the nearest house and borrows a chair. He places it on a box and administers haircuts to such subjects as will take a chance on his handwork with the scissors. These amateur barbers are not so bad, either, clipping off the hair close, so the doughboys stand less chance of having gas stick in their hair. Often the doughboys strip to the waist and engage in the pleasing pastime of "reading their shirts," as American hoboes term it. For, no matter where a number of men are congregated without women to tidy up after them, they are bound to have "Cookie", the conglomerate of all items and body line and other forms of information. However the cookie is a particularly large specimen they examine it closely and announce that it is of German origin, has escaped from the Doche branch and has the Iron Geys stamp on the back. If the Yanks bivouac near a stream everybody takes a dip right away. Their officers always insist that the men wear some sort of a breech clout in swimming, so the doughboys usually keep on the drawers of their B. V. D.'s and then stand guard on the bank of the stream waiting for them to dry in the sun. In the line the men shave every day when it is possible, because they have learned from the French that a gas mask fits tighter if there is no stubble of beard on the chin to let the deadly fumes seep in and burn them. They have become used to their respirators very quickly and wear them 24 hours at a stretch without it bothering them. Adopt British Custom. They have also adopted the British custom of merely nipping the nose clutch on their nostrils and placing the breathing plug, in their mouths without strapping the headgear over their craniums every time a gas alert is sounded. If gas really materializes they proceed to adjust the mask according to regulations, otherwise they unsnap the nosoplece and spit out the mouth plug and go on about their affairs. Any time a dud shell lands—one that falls to explode—it is likely to be mistaken for a gas shell and the alarm sounded. Nearly all of the doughboys in the line wrap their tin hats with burlap or some other material to cover the metal, as in walking through the branches if one's helmet strikes a wire or some projection it rings like a bell and is often taken as a signal to open fire by some Boche sniper liking hidden and camouflaged in No Man's land. A stray bullet striking a barbed wire strand makes a ping that can be heard half a mile, and if one strikes a steel hat it sounds like a village fire alarm bell.

Washington. — Edward Lilyon, wounded American soldier back from France and convalescing at Winter Reed hospital here, declared that he had seen German machine gunners chained to trees in the battle of Belican wood, where American marines so distinguished themselves. "My company was one of the first to advance at Bellican wood," he said. "We had got up to the hill through a thick underbrush and German machine gunners above us sent many of our fellows 'west.' We got near the Germans and I saw some of them in trees firing their machine guns at us. "It was about this time that I was wounded. My company was ordered to fall back and wait until morning." "The next morning our fellows took that section of Belleau wood. Twenty-six machine guns were taken, and the fellows told me that the treas I saw in the trees had to be shaken before their bodies had to be burned." SEE MENACE Aged Chicago Wor Can Fall the!

JUST AS WE PREDICTED During the prosecution of the late war with Germany, The Bee was repeatedly asked if the condition of the colored people in the United States would be better. We said then that it would be worse. Lynching of inoffensive colored citizens is on the increase. Mob law and lynch law are supreme and colored Americans are ruthlessly murdered under the most flimsy pretext. The loyalty of the colored American and his devotion and patriotism to his country doesn't seem to count for much. Jim-crowism upon railroads going South, segregation and discrimination in the Government departments are still prevalent and do not seem to abate in the least. Aside from this, the hand-picked quasi-colored so-called representatives of the colored race continue to make apologies for the many wrongs that are perpetrated upon the race. In the name of God, when will these outrages cease? When will the colored apologists cease their crying and fawning? prosecution of the late war with Germany, was asked if the condition of the colored people would be better.

Our views of discrimination, and yet the loyalty of country has not abated. Questions improved? is the question. No! President Archibald Grimke stated the situation in a nutshell a few days ago, and it is up to the eleven million colored people in this country to see that conditions are changed. Many organizations have sent, or rather elected, representatives to go to France and present the grievances of the colored people in this country to the Peace Conference. By the eternal God, right here in this country is the place to right the wrongs against a people who have made so many sacrifices. This race has done what no other race will ever do. This race has suffered what no other race would have suffered. The time has come for the American colored race to rise as one body and appeal to the wisdom and reason of those who are oppressing it. The time to act is now. The place to act is in the United States and not in France. What the black man wants is the ballot. The ballot is his defense. The ballot is his weapon. The ballot is all the firearms the colored man needs in this country. With the ballot in his possession he can defend himself against the to disregard hunger, want food by those who have fought to make the world a better place. Thousands of our brave soldiers are buried in French graves, while those who are alive and living in this country are treated in ostracism, segregation and discrimination. What shall the black man do to be saved? Our women are insulted by acts of discrimination, and yet the loyalty of the black soldier to his country has not abated. Have conditions improved? is the question. No! HYPOCRISY OF PROHIBITION. If there ever was hypocrisy practiced upon the people, it is by the so-called advocates of prohibition. There is as much liquor consumed by those who make the laws as there is by those who break the laws. The Bee sees all classes of men and women purchasing liquor. The Bee sees lawmakers of national reputation going for the "filthy stuff" they claim to dislike. It is unconstitutional for citizens to pass a national prohibition law. Simply because a lawmaking power has the power to pass laws doesn't go to reason that the laws this power pass are right and proper. One individual may like a thing and another may dislike it. Must the one that dislikes it deprive the one of it who likes it? There are thousands of prohibition cranks in this country who believe in but one thing—and that one thing is to deprive those of that which they may appreciate, and which they themselves pretend to dislike, but they are like devouring wolves after other things. ever was hypocrisy practiced upon the people advocates of prohibition. There is as much those who make the laws as there is by those who Bee sees all classes of men and women. Bee sees lawmakers of national reputation "buff" they claim to dislike. It is unconstituted a national prohibition law. Simply because has the power to pass laws doesn't go to power pass are right and proper. One indies another may dislike it. Must the one be one of it who likes it? There are thousands in this country who believe in but one thing is to deprive those of that which they, which they themselves pretend to dislike, be wolves after other things. We ventures to say that a man or woman, man that neither smokes, chews tobacco norement to society. He is a disciple of pro like devouring wolves after other animals. The Bee ventures to say that a man or woman who doesn't drink or a man that neither smokes, chews tobacco nor drinks, is a dangerous element to society. He is a disciple of prohibition. GERMAN AFRICAN COLONIES. The Baltimore Herald mentions the fact that a distinguished colored man recently delivered a speech in New York proclaiming against the restoration of the German African colonies to Germany, that paper adding that the speech "was a master stroke, and set man both white and black, to thinking and taiking." Ultimore Herald mentions the fact that a recently delivered a speech in New York restoration of the German African colonies, adding that the speech "was a master strife white and black, to thinking and talking." It cannot question the accuracy of the statement as the first time New York began to think. But previous to that time, October 19, The question, and from that time the people can think and talk about it. On October again referred to the subject, demanding the reason for the native Africans. On November, even distinct recommendations as to the disband the African colonies, and on November 23, explanation that the German African colonies United States to be held in trust for the black rebel 7, we printed a two-column article on American plans for the restoration of that land to the people we know. The Bee was the first to demand "as a part of the present peace plans, and subject than any other publication. We do not question the accuracy of the statement; for probably that was the first time New York began to think and talk on the subject. But previous to that time, October 19, The Bee called attention to the question, and from that time the people of Washington began to think and talk about it. On October 5 and 12 The Bee again referred to the subject, demanding the right of self-determination for the native Africans. On November 16 The Bee printed seven distinct recommendations as to the disposition to be made of the African colonies, and on November 23 repeated the recommendation that the German African colonies be transferred to the United States to be held in trust for the black races. Finally, on December 7, we printed a two-column article on Africa, embodying specific plans for the restoration of that land to the black races. So far as we know, The Bee was the first to demand "Africa for the Africans" as a part of the present peace plans, and has said more on the subject than any other publication. EMMETT J. SCOTT FOR PARIS. The proposition of the Baltimore Herald that Emmett J. Scott have a place at the peace table at Paris is interesting. It suggests Mr. Scott represent Liberia on the Peace Commission. If such arrangement should be feasible, no better action could be considered technical knowledge of Liberian proposition of the Baltimore Herald that Elice at the peace table at Paris is interesting Scott represent Liberia on the Peace Cement should be feasible no better Scott has considerable technical knowled and African questions; he also enjoys the advantage of official contact and prestige not equalled by any colored man at the present time. His ability, statesmanship and integrity are unquestioned. INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION. The movement being promoted by Mr. E. H. Armstrong for the industrial consolidation of our colored people should have public support, provided that the plan proves to be good and practicable. Almost any reasonable plan is better than no plan. An imperfect plan can be improved; no plan at all means continued inaction. ed by Mr. E. H. Armstrong for colored people should have pub- lan proves to be good and prac- lan is better than no plan. An so plan at all means continued in- supported many such movements. So soon as we hit on the right The Bee has encouraged and supported many such movements. We do not acknowledge failure. So soon as we hit on the right plan, success is assured. Shepard, of Durham, N. C. His utterances are manly as well as patriotic. His utterances are those of a man and not a trimmer or an apologist. As a real and true representative of the colored race Dr. Shepard gives some timely advice and states what all true Americans believe—that the ballot is the only defense of colored Americans in this country, and the only real weapon of defense. With the ballot in the hands of the colored man he will be able to vindicate himself and establish his citizenship in the body politic. Want of space prevents The Bee from publishing his great speech in full. He strikes boldly and manfully, which should be a guide to others who have been trimming and apologizing for wrongs that have been inflicted upon an oppressed people who have been struggling for independence ever since the shackles of slavery were removed. Dr. Shepard is not a hand-picked representative, but one who has made his way singly and alone. Today he stands at the head of real manhood and is a fearless advocate of the rights of man. THE NEXT ELECTION. It is now time for the colored voter to be thinking. He should among Republicans as there is among Democrats. No party may expect to secure the colored vote that has been derelict in his duty to the colored race. Lynching, segregation, discrimination and all other kinds of mistreatment have been perpetrated upon colored Americans without a protest being made in either branch of Congress. Republicans have sat quietly and allowed the Democrats to attack colored citizens without raising their voice in a protest. Colored women, children and men have been lynched, colored soldiers have been shot and their uniforms torn from them without a protest in the lawmaking body of this great Nation. It will be no use for those so-called advocates of liberty and freedom to go upon the stump extolting their virtues and telling what the colored soldier has done in the late war for the purpose of obtaining votes for their respective candidates. The colored apologists, trimmers and hand-picked individuals who are always willing and ready to cover up the shortcomings and tardiness of candidates for office will be red baked. We don't want any more of their hypocritical political games. The colored voter intends to think for himself and not to permit others to think for him The Chief of Police, from a report that appeared in the Evening Star dated December 24, 1918, called on Senator Jones of Washington and urged him to get busy and pass a law to stop whiskey from being brought into this city. That he had his men "armed with Krag rifles, and when the men carrying them got out of the machine the darkies faded away." The Bee was under the impres- OUR THANKS. The Bee extends its thanks and gratitude to its many patrons, friends and supporters. While the year of 1918 was an arduous one, The Bee was strongly and enthusiastically supported, which will enable it to make greater improvements for the year of 1919. The Bee should be in the homes of every loyal American, because it is a true defender of the civil and political rights of real American citizens, regardless of color or condition. It is fearless in its utterances and ready at all times to condemn wrong in high places and expose fraud. It is the guardian of the people and can be relied on to speak the truth and defend their interests. The merchants of the city, many of the largest houses in this city, have patronized the advertising columns of this paper for many years, as will be seen by the numerous advertisements that have appeared from time to time The Bee caters to no party, church or clique. It is the true exponent of that which is right and an enemy of the invading foe. The Bee doesn't believe in this alleged prohibition propaganda, because it is being advocated by more hypocrites than can be counted. They place more importance on local option than without a protest coming from our lawmakers, while, they rise up, condemn and vote against the manufacture of alcohol. Colored soldiers wearing the United States uniform have been insulted and assassinated without a protest; millions of dollars have been spent by our colored Americans, while white renegades in France are appealing to the French people to insult our faithful black allies, who are fighting to make the world better (for the white man only), as has been evidenced by public acts. Notwithstanding all of these outrages, the colored Americans have been and are loyal to the flag. How long, oh, how long will these outrages continue? At the very threshold of the National Capital, at the very door of our national lawmakers, "jim-crow" cars are allowed to enter and leave this city, and with placards suspended at either end of these cars. Every diabolical act that affects the white man has been eradicated, but the faithful black allies, in whose ranks a traitor has not been found, are ostracised, criticized, segregated and discriminated against, and the black trimmer, the black apologist and the black hand-picked coward tells us to wait. While oppression continues a nation may be obliterated while we wait a race is suffering while we wait millions of us are being lynched and burned at the stake. These acts are the acts of the American white man's gratitude. Give us the ballot—that is the thing we want—and accept our thanks. DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD. In another column of The Bee today will be read with interest and admiration an excerpt from the great speech of Dr. James E. MAIOR PULLMAN.

Martin, Attorney. sion that the word "darkies" was a term obsolete and has no application whatever to colored citizens. Anyone reading the article would readily decide that the colored people were the only persons to bring whiskey into this city. Thousands of gallons are purchased elsewhere and shipped to this city by white men. Did Major Pullman overlook this item when he was talking to Senator Jones? Every colored person who brings liquor to this city is not a bootlegger or a disreputable person. Because a man likes his liquor doesn't degrade him as a citizen. There are many prohibition advocates more dangerous to the community than bootleggers or prisoners who pay or those who purchase liquor. The prohibition amendments defeated, and the same is true of retire the prohibition advocates. THE CHRISTIAN. One of the most interesting plays given at the Howard Theatre is "The Christian," produced by the Quality Amusement Corporation. The principal character, Glory Quayle, is played by Miss Abbie Mitchell. Miss Mitchell was faultlessly dressed and her acting was especially good. Miss Susie Sutton as Betty won the plaudits of her auditors. Miss Laura Bowman, Miss Alice Gorgas and Miss Ethel Watts were good. Wm. Babe Townsend, J. Francis Mores, Will A. Cooke, Sidney Kirkpatrick and A. B. Comanthere constituted the others of the cast. Next week that veteran actor, Jesse Ship, will present a musical comedy.

MACHINE GUNS BROUGHT INTO PLAY2--DARKIES FLED Senator Jones of Washington also strongly supported the prohibition amendment. He said: "I simply want to say that the chief of police called on me yesterday and urged that Congress should take some action in this matter immediately. He said the Department of Justice and the War Department are cooperating with his force very diligently, but under the law as it now is they can do very little. He stated that four carloads of liquor came into this town yesterday by express and he expected a similar amount today. He called my attention to the particular class of people who seemed to be making it a business to bring liquor here from Baltimore. He also called my attention to particular instances that have happened in connection with attempting to enforce the law. "One in particular illustrated, he said, the methods that are used. He stated that they use a particular term that is applicable to liquor and change that term from time to time; that he sent a part of his force down into the southwestern part of the city a few days ago; that a colored man got on the running board of the automobile and asked them if they wanted a certain thing, using a term which applies to liquor. The police force went in citizens' clothes and they said 'yes,' and he pulled out of his pocket a bottle, and they arrested him. "He began to cry 'Murder!' and the chief said that from 50 to 100 colored men came from different parts, that they were rushing up, and he had no doubt that they meant to attack the officer. The other men stepped out of the machine with Krag rifles in their hands, and the chief said that they had found that the colored men in the southwestern part of the city cared but very little for revolvers; that they seemed to estimate that only about one shot out of ten took effect, but that they did have very great respect for rifles. He therefore had his men armed with Krag rifles, and when the men carrying them got out of the machine the darkies faded away. "He states that if it is taking nearly his entire force; that they must go in squads really to endeavor to enforce the law; that they have urged that Congress apply to this District the same law; at any rate, that we have applied to other territory where the legislative authority has prohibited the sale and manufacture of liquor; and he states that if we will do that it will assist them wonderfully in the enforcement of the law."—Evening Star, December 24, 1918.
