We present to our many friends and reader in Duluth, Minn., Walter H. Borgen, County Auditor of St. Louis County, when interviewed regarding the horrible action taken by the mob at the recent lynching in Duluth, expressed himself emphatically as being against any and all forms of mob rule, and condemned the action taken in Duluth, as being a stain on the City, and an action that will tend to undermine the very principles of citizenship, unless definite steps are taken to punish the leaders and bring them to a speedy justice. The editor and publisher of the National Advocate advises our colored citizens to keep such a Christian gentleman in office. We are under obligations to this gentleman for courtesies he showed us while in his office.

Dr. M. W. Judy, 276 ½ 3rd Ave. East and office at 101 1st Ave. East, is doing a thriving business, and is considered one of the best laboratory workers in the state. The editor had the honor of being entertained at a twelve o’clock dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Judy at their home. The doctor is doing all he possibly can to see that these law breakers are punished for the outrages that they committed on three colored men on Tuesday night, June 15th. He also was one of the prime workers, who went to the county and city officials and used his influence in preventing the sale and distribution of these dirty, filthy pictures. He also is doing all he possibly can to see that our citizens are getting the right protection. The doctor is one of the supporters of our paper for the last six years, and we wish him success while in Duluth.
