AN APPEAL.

The fundamental evil of our race
is the lack of sufficient appreciation
and interest of the responsibility and
duty we owe to each other. We have
allowed ourselves to so lapse into a
state of inertia and lethargy that we
are Obvious of the wrongs and in
justices melted out to Our people, and
not even attempt to raise our voice
in protest. Have we lost every sense
and quality of manhood? Will we
stand erect before the world high of
heart and purpose? If we intend to
play our part as a people and be pre-
pared to do our duty to others, let
US decide now what we want to do
and make ready to do it. It is the
duty of every adult member of the
race to align himself or herself with
this living existing organization and
become an integral part of it. I am
somewhat perplexed to think that
any right thinking Negro should be
without the pale of an association
that stands uncompromisingly for
freedom, equality and justice. Dear
readerl is it your duty to take out
membership? We owe each other a
duty for it is the cement which binds
the whole moral edifice together
without which all powers and intel
lect, can have no permanence. The
membership fee is ONE DOLLAR
year. Will you not lend your mo-
raj and financial support to this
great movement? We are far from
being immune to insults and pre-
JUDGES here, and we can only do
effective work by uniting ourselves
and thus be prepared to legally fight
these evils. Come out to our meet
ings and know and learn for yourself
what is being done. The question
you should put to yourself is not,
what would people say? but, is it my
duty? Remember
Whate'er thy race or speech thou
art the same.
Before thy eyes duty, constant
flame
Shines always steadfast with I'M
changing light
Through dark days and through
bright.
Send One Dollar to the under
signed and join in this great work.
Sec'y R. A. Skinner, 2817 Chicago
Ave-, Minneapolis.
The Twin City star. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1910-19??, 1917-04-28

He, who demands his rights, guar
anteed him under our constitution, is
not a traitor. The Negro cannot be
expected to rally to the country's
call today as he did to Lincoln and
Mckinley; but he is ever ready. He
cannot be aroused by martial music,
brilliant uniforms, patriotic addresses
or pecuniary promises. Should the
American people grant him equal
rights as other Americans, he will
then forgive their wrongs he has SUI
fered. As it is, he is calm and
deliberate. He will enter this war for
his second emancipation. Tho he
serves no human master, he is the
slave of Race-hatred, Discrimination
and that prejudiced Americanism-
the Southern propaganda of the pres
ent administration. He is denied the
right to enlist in many branches of
his Nations defensive service. He
is awarded special honors, i. e. "held
in reserve" for breast works. But
he must fight to save his Country
that he might enjoy Liberty in its
fullest sense. He must fight-that
posterity shall awake in a new Amer
icanism. This is our fight, if Amer
lea needs US, and we shall not be
called until needed.
The Twin City star. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1910-19??, 1917-04-28

Talking about Negroes being too
cowardly to fight show me where
one ever faltered on the battlefield.
Name traitor if you can. When the
Son of God was on his way to death,
Simon stepped up to his side, put his
shoulder under the cross and helped
him carry it. When white foe
felled President Mckinley, black
man felled the tyrant. When at
Carrizal, a white officer was MORALLY
wounded. a Negro soldier also shot,
grabbed the falling officer and held
him up with one hand while he shot
at the foe with the other. Drawer
soldiers never lived, truer Americans
can't be found, and by and by justice
will be ours.-The Pioneer Press,
Martinsburg, w. Va.
The Twin City star. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1910-19??, 1917-04-28
THE POOR DO NOT BEG.

The man on the street or the wom-
an at the door, who solicits aid on
ground of your sympathy for his con-
dition, may safely be assumed to be
making better living by that pro-
cess than by accepting such care as
the state offers.
Minneapolis, just at the present mo-
ment, is suffering from an oversupply
of beggars. The trade is good one
although somewhat risky. The more
plausible the applicant appears, the
greater the returns.
But no genuinely poor person ever
begs. 1t is difficult enough to find
them with the aid of neighbors,
schools, churches and relatives.
The beggar is one who has discov-
cred that tale of suffering is an as
set; and that no honestly poor person
acknowledges.
The continuance of begging is made
possible by the continuance of
thoughtless, unrelated relief giving,
whether by individuals or societies
1t will stop when we get together,
pooling not only our resources but
also our information.
The waste Of money in giving to
the beggars does not compare in SER
iousness to the destroyed social sense
produced in the mendicant. 1t is high
ly contagious and a we'll nigh incur
able disease. We quarantine those
who are carriers of small pox, we
have not yet learned the method of
preventing the spread of the begging
spirit. - The Bulletin - Associated
Charities of Minneapolis.

I am against Catholic. Protestant.

of these creeds does anything against
the American spirit. I demand whole
hearted and undivided loyalty to the
United States. denounce as crime
against the country the effort by any
section of our people, of whatever
origin to perpetuate racial divisions
in this country.-Theodore Roosevelt,

The Twin City star. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1910-19??, 1917-04-28

Minneapolis is growing fast and
there is a demand for Negro labor
but no attention is paid to their
housing. They are forced to live
in the jungle district, because they
cannot rent in the desirable local
tiles. This is matter for the health
and civic authorities, but nothing
will be done unless there is an
epidemic. Then somebody will find
it necessary to give Negroes a
chance to live in sanitary apart
ments, instead of being forced to
congregate in dumps and novels be-
cause of prejudiced real estate
owners. Disease and contagion
knows no color line.
