THE NAVY NEEDS MEN

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 1776 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
/ 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. served with Dewey at Manila
and with Sampson at Santiago, and
have never been found wanting"
other than 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.
Determination 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.

A NORTH SIDE CLEANUP

A meeting of Negro citizens of the
Northside was held last Wednesday
night to organize against the immor-
al conditions and to take action
against the wave of crime in that vi
cinity. They presented a list of plac-
es for investigation and urged that ev-
cry effort be made to stop the great
influx of undesireables from cities
where they have been driven out.
There are many places where
gambling is conducted, liquor is sold
and women kept for immoral purpos-
es. Several places have "call list
which includes many of the supposed
respectable married women of the
Twin Cities.
Dope fiends who used to live on
the south side are locating in the
north side. The resort-keepers OF
Chicago, Milwaukee, Omaha, Duluth
and Superior and other cities are COM
ing in and bringing inmates and are
accompanied by pimps and thieves.
The following communication has
been sent to the various officials
mentioned.
You are respectfully asked to in
vestigate the occupants of the follow
ing named apartments and buildings.
whose addresses are given below. II
is alleged that vice has prevailed in
various forms, such as illegal sale OF
liquor, immoral traffic in women, and
gambling.
A Committee Of Negro citizens
made a survey of conditions on the
North side and have reported that the
following places warranted immediate
investigation. There is an influx OF
undesirable characters coming to
Minneapolis and they have made So
cial conditions almost unbearable on
the North side. Copies of this COM
munication have been sent to Mayor
Van Lear and Chief Lewis Harthill
of the Police Department of the City
of Minneapolis; to the chairman OF
the Public Safety Committee of the
City Council; to Chairman Fred B
Snyder and w. r. Morris of the Hen.

MILO WILL Make Good THESE
ENORMOUS LOSSES
DIRECT LOSSES

The Voters Of Ottawa will on Tuesday, April g. be
called upon for second time to decide whether forty
seven of business MEN shall continue business
seek different occupations Shall their property be cons
Gated and no compensation offered for their losses
guarantees made of positions wereby they
livelihood for themselves and their families? These
questions for the Voters to decdet merely local ques
on and applies only to Ottawa and affects only Ottawa
people and Ottawa interests.
Surely when the state and nation legaze the sale of
liquors makes the occupation of the vender just hon.
orable any other from which the collects
revenue and it not just to business who has in
vested thousands of dollars business to close up just
because Of some moral oubmst that may last from
election day another. When the State and Nation with
draw their approval Of the sale liquors. then the occupa
ton becomes Illegal and the saoonkeeper withdraw
from the business knowing that the end has and that
the people whole desire that the brewery, the dst
ery and the saloon should to exist Legitimate
business institutions. 1t may be that such condition Of
affairs will be brought about at some future tme but until
that time why should the people of ths community
place themselves the head Of movement which means
thousands of dollars losses to city already ridden to
death with high The saloonkeepers of Ottawa pay
into the city treasury $27 900 annually This Of
ey holds the present tax rate 225 every $lOO, and
at that our taxes increasing by leaps and bounds
Deprive the city of this revenue every payer of Ota
will pay annually So 50 more taxes every $1,000
worth of property he This guess work; these
figures be verified by application to the Clerk of the
County Court Accountants have been at work during the
last week gathering statistics and they show that property
owners would lose annually SIS, $50; thai labor repre-
secd by saloon employees, cigar makers, manufacturers
of soft drinks plumbers carpenters painters, butchers
and bakers would lose he ENORMOUS SUM of S293, 430
that the total loss to the city property and aooers
would amot in year to s376 1870 Do The Voters Of
Ottawa want to destroy earnings amounting to nearly
half million dollars and the burden Of additional
taxation? If they do they should vote eyes the pro-
position this town become ansalorn terrtory?
If not, they should vote 'No
