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 oblivious 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 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. 1t 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 4
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 dc,
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, a constant
flame
Shines always steadfast with un-
changing light
Through dark days and through
bright
Send One Dollar to the under
signed and join in this great work.

THE NAVY NEEDS MEN
Red-blooded, but not black-skinned.

Red-blooded, but not black-skinned.
The following is the copy sent to
Northwest papers by Lieut.. Com
mander, Jas. D. Wilson, u. S. Navy.
Mr.. American Citizen:
Do you realize that the United
States Navy is still short many thou
sands of men to properly man the
ships now building to be ready for
active war service the latter part OF
this year?
The Navy needs real men - red
blooded Americans who are willing
to do their bit for good old u. S. A.,
as did the men and boys of 1875 and
1861. Are you going to sit tight and
LET George do it" and in the future
be ashamed to answer your children
and grandchildren when they say,
Daddy. what did you do during the
great WARP, or are you going to be
in a position to say Daddy was a
Navy Volunteer, fought for this coun-
try of ours and helped to make the
blessings of Liberty secure for our
selves and our posterity, and also
helped save some of the starving
mothers and children of Europe"
Now is the time for you to step for
ward and volunteer for the Navy
always found ready when needed by
your Uncle Sam. Men of the type
of Farragut, Dewey, Lawrence, Perry
and Nathan Hale are wanted. There
are plenty of them in this city who
will "make history" when they finally
volunteer. The Northwest has never
been found wanting when the Nation
needed men. Volunteer now, write
or telegraph Navy Recruiting Sta
ton, Minneapolis. Branch stations
at St. Paul, St. Cloud, Duluth and
Brainerd, Mimi, and Fargo, Grand
Forks. Minot and Bismarck. N. D.
THE NEGRO'S ANSWER.
Dear Uncle Sam
I realize your position for which
you are entirely responsible. have
offered my services, but according to
your orders Negroes are not want
ed" as white men. My fathers fought
with Perry on Lake Erie, with Far
ragut at New Orleans and in Mobile
Bay I served with Dewey at Manila
and with Sampson at Santiago, and
have never been found wanting"
other than a chance to fight for you.
A thousand of my brothers are wait
ing, until you cast aside your pre-
JUDGE, and you will be compelled to
do so. The Negro Americans are
sitting tight and do not care, who
does it. Should you need them (and
you certainly willy they are ready.
Discrimination has denied them the
ability to serve you, as they would
like to; but your persecution has not
overcome their patriotism. They
are here, there, and everywhere, in
the land of their birth, the u. S. A.
An American Negro,
A native citizen.

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 a 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 a good one
although somewhat risky. The more
plausible the applicant appears, the
greater the returns.
But no genuinely poor person eve.
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.

A lie is always the cause of trouble
and oftimes brings about serious re-
suits. Misrepresentation on the part
of husband or wife will sooner or
later cause a breach in their domes-
tic relations. Many men, whose
fraternal emblems signify that they
are ION the square" and they will
defend the truth" will conspire to
pull a crooked deal and protect a lie,
especially when a woman is the VIC
tim. A woman should know some
thing about her husbands affairs, and
her motives cannot be considered en-
tirely selfish or mercenary. A real
adjustment will do much to prevent
family quarrel or a murder.
