W. B. Severyns
For Mayor

The war brought precarious
problems to Seattle. Young men
and women by the thousands
have been brought here to help
in our great war industries. 1t
has been utterly impossible to
properly house and care for all
them. Many of these young peo-
pie are from small communities
and farms at distant points.
There is the lure and attraction
of their first visit to a big city.
Add to that the fact that most
of these young people are earn
ing more money than they ever
though would be possible. Young
and active, with money burning
holes in their pockets, they are
easily tempted,
The same condition exists
among the thousands brought
here from all parts of the ma
ton to prepare for battle. Stand
at Madison and 21st on a Sat
urday night. Army truckload
after truekload roars up, each
discharging 20 TO 80 husky
young colored men. Most of
these young soldiers are not only
strangers to our city but they
are strangers to our way of life.
For months they have been fed
on the best of food, given body
building exercises, forced to sleep
regular hours. Their officers,
very properly, have been building
men, he-men to use
common expression. What do
these young men seek when they
are at liberty in the first big
city most of them have ever
seen? They seek relaxation, what
they consider fun. They seek
drink and women. Their Off
GERS are practical realists. On

FOURTH WAR LOAN
DRIVE STARTS

The Northwest Enterprise
joins the plea of our National
Government in urging every man
and woman of our race to In
vest every available dollar in
war bonds.
The fact that numerous in
justices arise daily to plague us;
that We are forced to fight these
injustiees with every force at
our command, we cannot escape
the fact, This is our war, too.
Our fathers, our husbands, our
brothers are overseas, facing an
enemy who will never spare
their lives. Instead of crying
that our boys be sent in the
front lines, let us and those boys
whose lives may be spared by a
wicked conspiracy to deprive
them of honors, save our money
by investing our all in war
bonds. If it is decreed our boys
may soon return safely to us,
they may be strong buttress in
our fight for our full rights.
Of course, buying bonds is an
act of patriotism. 1t is also
safeguard for future security.
What a wonderful investment for
those employed In high salaried
war industries. Why spend the
money for non-essentials, why
dissipate your earnings, when
bond buying offers so much Sc
curity.
When this war is over and
We return to normal lives, what /
a consolation will come to you
who have invested all you could .
in an effort to aid your boys I
in service and safeguard your
postwar needs.

The AngeIus MOrtuary

A specialized service is a mat
ter of great moment when death
enters your home. In this hour
of distress, your soul cries out
for the most sympathetic under
standing, the most proficient
service for those you love.
Race funeral services are al
ways personal, always intimate.
The family's needs, their religi-
Gus beliefs ~ a sympathetic un-
derstanding of racial customs.
The Angelus Mortuary, 319
18th Ave, has a finely arranged
chapel with all the comforts of
a quiet home. Their attendants,
highly trained in a specialized
service, at once become a part
of the bereft family and attend
ing mourners. Today, no chapel
in the city is more exclusive than
the chapel at the Angelus Nor
tuary.
The Angelus Mortuary at no
time adds a word of sorrow, by
influencing the amount one
spends for their departed loved
ones.
Served by a mortician of art,
you may with complete conf
dence in such an emergency
leave your sorrows with a NOR
tuary which for years has been
the custodian of the sorrows and
sympathies of every race man
and woman in Seattle.

ATLANTA, Ga. - II Georgia
can be used as an example, the
federal government will still
have to be depended upon to act
If the thousands of Negro men
and women from the deep south,
who are now in the armed serv-
ices, are to ever be given the
franchise.
The measure which recently
was given approval of the House
and is virtually certain to be
acted favorably upon by the Sem
ate of the Georgia legislature,
now in special session, would re-
move the poll tax and hurdle the
barriers of distance for the white
servicemen, but is cleverly word
ed so that not a single black
soldier risking his life for de-
mocracy on some far flung bat
tlefield will be able to cast his
ballot for democracy" in his
home state of Georgia.
1t was the issue of Negro SOL
diers being granted enfranchise-
ment that resulted in southern
congressman joining hands with
reactionary northern Republicans
to kill the federal measure last
winter. Now Georgia, the first
state to take action on the issue,
clearly shows which way the
wind is blowing.
Governor Ellis Arnall in his
opening address before the spe-
cial session of the Georgia leg
islature disclosed the ruse re-
sorted to by Georgians to keep
Negro service men and women
from voting when he asserted:
"The effect of such legisla-
ton simply would be that all
persons who. were they in their
own home county, could vote in
a general election can vote in
the general election (where Ne
goes may vote), and that all
persons who, If they were at
home, could vote in the primary,
can vote in the primary"
Since only white persons are
permitted to vote in the Demo-
cratic primary, tantamount to,
election in Georgia, rae Negro
soldier of WAC is thus neatly
barred from enjoying the demo-
cracy for which they are fight
ing.
A representative rearing that
there may arise the misunder-
standing that Negroes may vote
in the white Democratic primary
elections, made himself clear
with this statement: "There is
nothing in this bill that will in
terfere with our white primary
elections"
Speaker of the House Roy
Harris of Augusta added that
"these changes are not perma-
nent and do not change single
election law permanently under
the guise of an emergency.
l brief, those who were dis
