To the citizens of Minnesota:
Feeling that the public is interested
in this institution which cares for the
dependent Negroes of the Northwest,
we wish to make public the following
conditions:
There are at present twenty-one in

her assistants, is we'll qualified to
properly care for them. The present
location, 469 Collins St., is very de-
sirable. A large building with thirty
five rooms, on beautiful lot, was pur-
chased for the consideration of five
thousand dollars ($5,000.0O). We have
paid one thousand and six hundred
dollars ($1,600.00), leaving balance
due on the purchase price of three
thousand and four hundred dollars
($3,400.00). The building is very much
in need of repairs.
An Appeal for Funds.
To pay off this Indebtedness and
properly repair the building. the Board
Of Managers are appealing to the pub
lie for the sum of eight thousand dol
lars ($8,000.00).

gaging the services of Rev. Eugene
Thompson, of Wilberforce, Ohio, to
run a financial campaign. Rev. Eu-
gene Thompson comes highly recon-
>mended.
We feel that the success of this
effort will place us in a position to
accomplish much greater good. The
business of the Home is looked after
by board Of managers, as follows:

dent; Matte r. Hicks, st. Paul, Sec

RESPECT FOR THE UNIFORM.

The violence offered to Negro Of
fcer, who was driven from Vicksburg
by a mob, was an insult not only to
the Negro race but to the United
States uniform. Another Negro orti-
Ger, to whom a salute was refused
by two white soldiers, promptly re
moved his coat, hung it on post,
and marched the two soldiers pass
it, forcing them with drawn revolver
to salute the insignia of the United
States. "You needn't salute me, a
Negro" he said, "but you will saIute
the uniform of a United States osh-
cer.'
Respect for their government and
its representatives should penetrate
even the passions of the most VIC
lently anti-Negro maniacs. Respect
for the United States, if not for the
thousands and thousands of black men
who are offering their lives to their
country, should prevent such threats
as the officer elected from Vickshurg
reported to the effect that mo nigger
could wear a uniform in Mississippi
that white people had to honor"
This sort of mob rule is the kind
that not only discredits US before a
world which we are trying to make
safe for democracy, but discredits rs
to ourselves. It cannot improve the
morale of an army in which are thou
sands of black men; it cannot hui
embitter those men who are giving
their all for their native land, only
to have their sacrifice met with con-
tumely and insult. Shame, shame
shame to the recreant Americans who
are false to every principle for which
! our country stands! s!-Danville Press
