THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE Official Organ of Odd Fews and Household of Ruth. A NATIONAL JOURNAL OF OPINION AND CIRCULATION REMOVE BALLOU, MR. PRESIDENT VOL. II In behalf of an insulted, outraged race of twelve million patriotic American citizens, we ask President Wilson to remove Major-General Ballou of the Ninety-second National Army Division. We also ask President Wilson as Commander-in-Chief of the United States Army and Navy to reserve forthwith his repulsive Bullgirtin 35. Nothing short of this, we tell him and the American people frankly, will suffice to appease their wrath and indignation. No half-way measures will do. The people of this Republic, black as well as white, made the National Army and all its divisions. The black citizens of this country are inherently and constitutionally equal citizens in this country. President Wilson must forthwith tell the American people and the world whether the Constitution or General Ballou is right. He must tell the American public and the world, as the black sons of Uncle Sam go forth to do and die for Democracy in Europe, as to whether this new Dred Scott Decision shall stand. He must tell the world as to whether or not he is going to send these humbled black patriots—the flower of the race's youth—of America into the fight for civilization at this critical hour dispirited and disconsolate. He must make this fateful decision now as to whether he shall send these thousands of black soldiers OSHKOSH, WIS Mrs. C. A. Scott and sons have returned home to Chicago, after a four weeks' visit with friends in this city, Fond du Lac and Milwaukee. Messrs. Irvin Mathews and Warden Leach were in the city for a few hours Sunday evening. Messrs. Solomon Fowler, Fond du Las, has been confined to her bed for several days with a severe cold and cough. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Smith returned home Sunday evening after a five weeks' visit with relatives and friends in Arkansas. They were royally entertained in all the cities they visited and received a cordial welcome home. Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Clendenon entertained at dinner Sunday in honor of Mrs. Chester C. Scott. Others present were Mr. and Mrs. Hooten, Mesdames Ray and Scott, Messrs. Joe Parker and Winnifred Ray. Messrs. Jno. Stewart and Abe Campbell were visitors to the city last week. Mr. Norman Person has gone home to Chicago to spend his relief with his wife. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Smith spent Sunday in Chicago enroute home, visited the sick rooms of J. H. Smith, 1720 Crawford Ave. and Wm. Plummer, 5744-5th Ave. Mr. Smith has been sick five months and Mr. Plummer met with a severe accident last Friday. Both have been employed by the C. & N. W. R. R. more than 28 years. Mr. J. W. Smith was successful in securing many new subscribers for the Blade while in Arkansas, Mesdames Maggie Goodner and Lula Johnson are the agents there and we are expecting many more subscribers in the near future. The baby girl born to Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Mathews on the 17th died last week. Their many friends sympathize with them in their loss. BELOIT, WIS. Blade News Service Mrs. J. P. Turner spent two days at home this week, coming up from Belvidere. Her many friends were glad to welcome her. Miss Luciie Bendrant, Mt. Sterling, Ky., will visit her cousin Mrs. J. P. Turner, Beloit, Wis., during the Race Convention in August. Hon. W. S. Williams, an honored and respected citizen of Beloit, was untiring in his efforts in selling Liberty Bonds. He was among the many guests and the only race man present at the ban- to fight for freedom "over there", but to submit to serfdom "over here". He should do these things first as a measure for winning the war. He cannot send brow-baten civil outcasts and social pariahs against the German legions with a hope of success. He MUST do these things as President of all the people; secondly as a matter of simple right and justice. The inhumanity and brutality of the Ballou order needs no proof or argument. Black Americans ask you, Mr. President, further, not to imperil the success of the Nation's and the World's cause by sending to Europe at the head of their sons this prejudiced and dangerous Negrophobe. The man capable of uttering the following words in this Republic in this world crisis should be relegated to the limbo of the forgotten and unspeakable past in the South before the war: The monstrous barbarous Ballin order is a body blow not only at the American Army, but at the cause of Democracy and Civilization. The Kaiser would prefer it to a dozen German divisions. The more vigorously and swiftly President Wilson rescinds it, the more quickly he deposes General Ballon, the greater the service he will render the cause of the Allies.—N. Y. News. Who made the General? quet at the Y. M. C. A. on Monday night. The many friends of Mr. Willis Scott, will be interested to know that he is organizing what is promised to be an up-to-date base ball team despite the fact that most of the boys of this community are in the service of their country. The first business meeting will be held Sunday Afternoon, April 28th, at the Interstate Ice Cream Parlor, corner Broad and Mill Sts. They would like to hear from teams wishing an engagement on Sundays or Holidays. The joint meeting of Beloit Lodge and Household to secure members was held at the G. A. R. Hall Monday night.

Tims, 615 St. Paul Ave., is on the sick list. Mrs. Fannie Dewnell, Pontiac Miss., has come for an indefinite stay with her daughter Mrs. Mary Tims.

Our Nation is engaged in a war for its very existence. To win this war we must save food, grow great crops of foodstuffs and substitute other foods for those most sily shipped to our associates in this war and our own soldiers in France, thousands of whom are men of your own race. The Food Administration realizes that the Negro people of this Nation can be of the utmost help in food conservation and food production. Every Negro man, woman and child can render a definite service by responding to the appeal and instruction of the Food administration and its representatives. The Negroes have shown themselves loyal and responsive in every national crisis. Their greatest opportunity of the present day, to exercise this loyalty, is to help save and grow food. I am confident that they will respond to the suggestions of the Food Administration and thus prove again their patriotism for the winning of this war. (Signed) Herbert Hoover. QUILLAR EATON, Milwaukee, Wis., Hearty Odd Fellow, Substantial Citizen, Who Is Prepared for a Rainy Day. The Blade is indeed glad to present to its thousands of readers the likeness of a young man who by his indomitable will, pugnacious tenacity and consistent thriftness is so situated as to be on easy street so far as this world's goods are concerned. Born and reared in Philadelphia, Pa., he possesses that brotherly and friendly spirit. He is a member of Milwaukee's oldest Odd Fellow (Gordon) Lodge 5693 and is R. S. to the N. G. He is planning to pay Madison a visit in short and will be gladly welcomed by his former friends. EDITOR J. ANTHONY JOSEY Who has been in the saddle all this month making speeches in the interest of Odd Fellowship in Wisconsin. He was the guest of Beloit Lodge and Household on last Tuesday night.

The Woman's Civic League met Sunday Apr. 21, at Quinn Chapel with a good attendance, much business was transacted and we all said goodbye to our own Katheryn Johnson, a Missionary, who leaves shortly for France to send greetings to the soldiers as well as to break the bread of life to the boys Over There. Monday, April 22, was a glorious day for the voters of the Second Ward their Alderman was inaugurated to the office of alderman. Several members of the Second Ward Republican Club (Ladies) were present among those present were Mrs. Jessie L. Bond, Mrs. E. Potts, Mrs. G. Balay, Mrs. Janie Rhodes, Mrs. Nellie Clayway, Mrs. E. G. Berry, and others, it was an enjoyable evening and a pleasant sight. The Quinn Chapel Sunday Forum met Sunday with a good crowd and a fine program was rendered. Prof. Hoffman of the Preparatory School lectured on Egypt, which was enjoyed by all present. All the subscribers who have not paid their subscriptions will please do so on Friday night, especially the ones belonging to Household No. 1073 as the Representative intends going to Madison and wishes to get straightened out with the Blade to be able to do a great work for the ensuing year. The Mayflower Club gave its Two-Year Anniversary with a large number present, a good program was furnished, also a palatable Menu and Sim's Imperial orchestra furnished the music. The Revival at Quinn Chapel is getting along nicely. Mrs. Sarah Chavous, 3606 Forest Ave., is much better after an illness of about four weeks. The funeral of Ben Hall was held last week after an illness of two days with pneumonia. Do your spring cleaning, about the house and yards and alleys in order that you may keep in line with the Mayor's Proclamation. All patriotic citizens will buy Liberty Bonds in this Third Liberty Loan. Help win the war by conservation of foods. If you cannot buy a Liberty Bond, buy Thrift Stamps. Ask your Postman to tell you about them. The Household Club is getting along nicely with its work; new members are urged to join. MILWAUKEE. WIS Special to the Blade. Dr. W. H. Marshall of Chicago spent several days in the city on professional business. Mr. S. Benish of the Benish Meat Market, 720 Winnebago St. is a very agreeable man to meet and a fair person to deal with.

Latham is again confined to her bed and is thought to be suffering with pneumonia. The Mock Male Welding at St. Mark's Church on the 26th inst. under the auspices of the Phyllis Wheatley Art Club, promises to be a unique affair. Mrs. Janie Edwards recently suffered a very painful injury to her knee which confined her to her bed for several days. A great revival is going on at the C. M. E. Church, conducted by the Rev. Mrs. O. S. Snellgro, Evangelist and Prophetress of Los Angeles, Cal. Much good is being done and many brought to the Church. Rev. S.

Roseborough, educational secretary at No. 7, Y. M. C. A., is away on a few days' vacation visiting relatives and friends in Chicago, and Cuthbert, Ga. At the close of the Billy Sunday sermon at the Liberty theatre last Monday evening, the boys of the 161st Depot Brigade poured out their soul in singing the songs of the Southland as they alone can sing them, "I'm going to meet my dear old mother," "It's me, its me Oh Lord," and "Swing low sweet chariot" were easily the best appreciated renditions, all receiving hearty applause. Mr. Emmet J. Scott, special assistant to Hin. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, will make an official visit to Camp Grant next Wednesday, May 1st. It is to be an occasion of great importance in military circles of the 183rd Brigade. A parade in honor of Mr. Scott has been planned in which the whole Brigade is to take part. There will be a special musical number rendered by Robinson and Taylor and a boxing contest at night. The orchestra will furnish music for the evening. ```markdown ``` 7,000 Members. The social given by the boys of Company G, 365th Inf. was a great success. The large squad room was very beautifully decorated with the national colors and the presence of ladies who, in spite of the inclement weather came from Chicago and Rockford to enjoy an evening with the boys of our company. Too much credit can not be given to 1st Sergt. W. Butlen, Sgts. Rapier, Jackson, Corp. Paront and Chef Cook C. C. Ranson, for the success of the evening as they all worked untimely to see that each visitor was entertained. Music and dancing, with a two-course dinner made up the evening program. The relay won by the boys of Co. G, 365th was made in 10 minutes flat. Sgt. John Allen assisted by the other members of the team, easily accomplished the feat. They expect to win other honors before the season is over. SERGT. ROLAND B. SMITH. Co. I. 365th Infantry This young man is one of the Mess Sergeants of Co. I.

YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BLADE UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THE WONDERFUL BAR- GAINS IN OUR ADS. --- MILWAUKEE COUNTY JURORS Our attention has recently been called to what appears to be a violation of the spirit, if not the letter of the laws relating to the drawing of jurors in Milwaukee County. We have been reliably informed that for more than a decade no colored man has served as a juror in any of the courts; that while many of them have been notified to appear before the commission, the mere appearance was sufficient to disqualify them. When we consider that in ten years approximately 3,000 persons have served as jurors in the various courts, and that the city of Milwaukee alone for the greater portion of that time has had a population of more than 1500 colored people, the failure of some one of them to qualify and serve raises in our minds serious doubts of the impartial administration of the laws under which jurors are selected. These doubts are accentuated when we recall that nearly 300 young men within the draft age have registered in Milwaukee and more than a score of them sent away to "make the world safe for democracy." This is a matter that affects not alone the colored people of Milwaukee County, or even of the state, but every man, woman and child living in the state and subject to the jurisdiction of its laws. If it is possible to eliminate colored men and "get by" with it, whenever it suits the purpose of those in charge, other classes may be eliminated—the Jew, the German, the Pole, the Irish, the laborer, and the capitalist. And there is no telling where the line may be drawn next. Besides this, the easy exclusion of colored men from the jury lists casts suspicion upon our entire judicial system. What assurance has a litigant or particular class of litigants that those inimical to his interests are not drawn and his friends excluded? How is labor to know that upon questions affecting its rights an impartial jury will sit? If one knows of this apparent irregularity is it unreasonable to suspect others? And thus will the Courts be brought into disrepute. Like Caesar's wife, our Courts must be above suspicion. That this matter has been called to the attention of the Jury Commissioners of Milwaukee County AN APOLOGY AN APOLOGY sight several of the 183d Brigade. This week our editorialwe are giving it as it should have General Barnumbeen given.—Editor. General Marvin-Hill Barnum Through an oversight several of the 183d Brigade. This week bunders occurred in our editorial we are giving it as it should have of March 21, on General Barnumbeen given—Editor. Brigadier General Marvin-Hill Barnum One of the greatest shocks of the season came down from Washington the other day, when it was announced that six Major Generals would lose their commands on account of physical unfitness for overseas service. Naturally, these reductions, together with the many that must follow, again bring into prominence several officers who heretofore have been given only passing consideration. At Camp Grant over the 183rd Infantry Brigade, commands Brigadier General Malvern-Hill Barmum. It has not been the editor's privilege to meet a more democratic, congenial, clear-cut, square and absolutely impartial gentleman. Circulating through the Camp, as is our custom from time to time, we often hear comments about "our General." There is never anything but the highest praise. His influence is a benediction to every one. Just the other day, we met a fellow who was proudly exhibiting a slip of paper upon which was some writing. Upon inquiring, we found that General Barmum had on the Keep Your Voice Clear Greeting Cards LEWIS' VEGETABLE THROAT GARGLE 7.A.H.Parker Parker t Law H. C. NETHERWOOD PRINTING CO. Oliver A. Clark W.A.H.Parker --- 25 Cents Lewis' Drug Store Gilman and State Sts. 10 East 35th Street CHICAGO is attested by the following copy of a letter sent them. We are advised that others have also written, but to date no reply has been received. This is but an incident, yet it adds strength to the belief that the exclusion of colored men is not a result of the ordinary and natural operation of the laws governing the selection of jurors. The letter follows: Milwaukee, Wis., March 9, '18. Jury Commissioners, Gentlemen: I beg to direct your attention to what appears to me to be a most singular operation of the laws of Choice and Chance in the selection of jurors for the various Courts of Milwaukee County, viz: the complete absence from every panel, in a long course of years, of any citizen of African descent. While I fully realize that it is possible for one to live his whole life in the same community without having been called to perform jury service, yet it does seem highly improbable that an entire race, without the interposition of some extrinsic agency, would so uniformly escape. This improbability is made the more manifest when we recall that the recent registration under the Selective Service Law discloses the fact that, in the city of Milwaukee alone, there are more than 250 colored men between the ages of 21 and 31. A personal inquiry among the colored people concerning this matter has elicited the information that several of them have been called, but none chosen; that invariably upon their appearance in response to your call, they have been advised that they would be notified later. And this was usually the end of the matter. An interesting incident in this connection is the fact that I, myself, was called by you less than two years after my arrival in the State. I trust that you will give this matter your careful consideration to the end that nothing may tend to discredit or east suspicion upon the impartiality of our jury system. Very truly yours, George H. De Reef. night before, actually taught the young man to write his name. Upon further inquiry, we found that scarcely a night passes without the General putting in his appearance at the schools for the illiterates and becoming one with the Non-commissioned Officer instructors in teaching the men to read and write. It is no uncommon occurrence to see the General leage important work to take sufficient time to help a soldier through some difficult problem. "As One Who Serves" As was said by Him of old: "My place among you is as one who serves" may appropriately be said of General Barnum's place among the Race's soldiers. He is truly alive to every interest and thinks the best none too good for the boys. He is the one man, the very mention of whose name sends thrills of emotion through all who know him. Surely a Division of Black men led by this soldierly and broad-minded Genre would make a most formidable organization. The Finest Line of sre now on sale. Make your selections early. 24 N.

THE American boy who goes to war gives up the position which means so much to his future, or the little business which has just begun to show promise of success. He severs home ties; gives up home comforts; leaves behind parents, friends, wife or sweetheart. He faces the probability of being obliged to take up life anew when he returns; of losing all the advantages which years of hard work have won for him. He faces the possibility of coming back incapacitated for earning a living, and of being dependent upon his friends or upon charity. He faces the possibility of never coming home at all. Facing these things, he goes to France to fight for us who remain safely at home—and when the moment comes for him to go over the top—he GOES! What will he think, how will he feel, if we complain because we are asked to make a few sacrifices for him—sacrifices so insignificant when compared with his?
