VOL. 13 NO. 51 (By The Negro Associated Press.) Washington, March 25.—President Harding gave his first official utterance on the "Race Problem" to the public on the 12th of March in an open letter to NaHun Daniel Brascher, the editor of The Associated Negro Press, The letter reads as follows: The White House March 12, 1921. In the last year I have had some opportunity to learn of the work of The Associated Neuro Press and I am pleased to say that so far I have noted it is doing a useful work in the direction of establishing a sound and enlightened attitude of mind toward the race problem in this country. I feel that co-operation and mutuality of understanding together with a spirit of tolerance and helpfulness will do very much toward betterment in all phases of our national life. I am most desirous of encouraging every activity of this kind. Sincerely yours, Warren G. Harding" They are About to Prove "None Worthy." Washington, March 25-From good source it is reported, merit and party loyalty are going to be the chief Okeh passing marks. Those who hold office must measure up in mental and physical capacity; they must be backed by their Senators and their state organizations, and they must be regarded as genuine representatives of the group. The political woods are filled with the faithful looking for the stones upon which they might grind their axes. But the political carpenter shop is also very lively with individuals, and groups of individuals with hammers seeking to knock the "stuffin's" out of every single or double or treble-applicant for any and all offices. Of course, there has not been a man appointed, or proposed for appointment, from Secretary of State Hughes down to Col. George Harvey on the one big side, who has not been hammered on all sides. Now, on our "side of the minority" there is being everything said about everybody who has been even suggested as a possible personage for Federal favor. It is a sickening lot of accusations that are a float in the Washington air. The charges range all the way from petty larceny to murder in the first degree, some true, false and few, if any, worth while. The honorable So and So reads the pedigree of the Honorable Thus and Thus posing himself as a creature of immaculate personality. But when the Honorable Thus and Thus gets through telling "what he knows" about Honorable So and So, one is led to the conclusion that none are worthy. Here are some of the states that are going to have bitter factional scrambles for office, and which may disgust party leaders to such an extent that several good things will go begging: Merchants Who Advertise in a Race Paper, Desire Your Patronage—Give Them a Trial. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Mar. 25. 1921. Ohio, Missouri. New York. Pennsylvania and possibly Indiana. In Chicago the friends of Charles A. Cottrill have been under the impression that he had "clear sailing in the national field." It is stated that Cottrill and Councilman Thomas W. Fleming of Cleveland had a tacit understanding that Cottrill was to play the national game, with and Fleming the state game, with Former Mayor of Cleveland Harry L Davis as president Governor of Ohio. it has been admitted that Fleming stands on the inside in state matters. Now 10 and behold, information is perculating hither and thither that the Honorable Thomas Wallace Fleming of Cleveland, a member of the City Council, who is likewise a candidate for re-election for the sixth time is in a receptive mood for the important position of Minister of Haiti, it is declared, Councilman Fleming, with one of his chief lieutenants, Sidney B. Thompson, had a conference in Marion with President Harding, prior to the latter's coming to Washington. Mr. Cottrill is not desirous of returning to Honolulu, although the Hawaiians with him, but, he feels that he could write a perfectly legible signature as Register of the Treasury. It is safe to say that no state is going to be loaded down with Presidential appointments. This is the Ohio situation to date, with other notable, past and present, yet to be heard from. In Missouri, the Honorable Aaron Malone, of St. Louis, would not be adverse to signing his name to Uncle Sam's paper money to make it official, nor would J. Silas Harris, of Kansas City, at the other end of the state, the two cities always having a contest of rivalry all their own. Dr. J. R. Crossland, feels that he could properly diagnose and look after the welfare of the department of the Fourth Auditor of the Navy in the Treasury department. Then there are Miss Victoria Clay and Homer Phillips both of St. Louis, who have a special liking for term: "U. S. Official." New York, with Fred R. Moore, Charles W. Anderson, George H. Harris in the metropolis, and some others in the smaller cities of Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, and Rochester, promises to furnish "big league" entertainment. At the same time, a new star has appeared in the heavens. The "Black Star" of the Honorable Marcus Garvey is giving forth the 'melody of "Garvey will shine tonight." During the latter part of April, it is stated, the Honorable Mr. Garvey will descend upon the capital city with all his hosts, at which time the "Black House" will be opened in the "Presidential Suite" in the Whitelaw hotel. From thence on, the Universal state they will be a power to be reckoned with in the dispensing of political and economic justice. The Honorable Clarence Matthews of Boston, and atheletic fame, now a high salaried member of IN MEMORY. Special to The Negro Star: To-day man puts forth the flowers of youth To-morrow he may be cut down In the midst of life . We are also in the midst of death Wherers, God in His all wise Providence has seen fit to remove from the faculty of Summer High School. Miss Jennie Alexander, our esteemed coworker and teacher of the History department, thereby causing a wave of sorrow that cannot be obliterated from the hearts of both teachers and student body. Miss Alexander was an alumna of Kansas University and a resident of Garnett, Kansas. She leaves a mother, three sisters, a brother and a host of friends to mourn her loss. In Miss Alexander we found a noble embodiment of truth, loyalty and service. She showed a consistent Christian life uniring and unlimited devotion to her work. We sincerely feel that not only the faculty and student body of Summer High School suffered much thru the demise of Miss Alexander, but the Race at large shares our loss. We therefore, bow in humble submission to the will of Him, who doeth all thigs for the good to those who love his appearance. We resolve that a copy of these resolutions be written upon the records or Summer High School, one sent to the bereaved family and one printed is the leading papers of the Race. To the bereaved family, relatives and friends, we extend our heartfelt sympathies and commend you to Him, who will cheer you in the time of despondency and give you strength to withstand the sudden shock. When the Book of Noble Deeds for Woman is written, recording Women who have stood at their post and shown their true worth and character, the name, Miss Jennie Alexander will have a place. In Young Womanhood A Star of the first magnitude went down To rise upon a fairer shore And bright in heaven's jewelled crown She will shine forevermore. Cem. Miss E. Woods Miss M. Titus Mr. W. A.

Well Mr. president I am writing you again hoping this will find you and the young people's Social Club doing a land office business: Well I had an idea of telling you in this letter just how to run that Club. But since one man who does things are worth ten men who tell us how things should be done. I will forget it, and for the present give you a review of some old sayings or maxims you will find them salted with common sense, and some I have peppered with food for thought, and others I've seasoured with sarcasm sauce. So as to present the other side, since it is said that there is always two sides, to a question, and there is also two sides to ten dollars bill, but only one side counts at the post office. And it is said that a rolling stone gathers no moss. And I say a setting hen don't get fat either. And it is said to be hard luck to walk across your room with only one shoe on. But I say it would be worse luck if you only had one shoe and had to wear both feet in it at once. And if it is a poor dog that won't wag his own tail, tie a tin can to it and note results. Some wise guy in the past wrote books in praise of mother goose, and said nothing in favor of mother duck. But the way I sauy, a duck uses just as good a language as a goose. When I was a young man; girls use to say, if you catch a sucker bump his head but they have quit that, now they bump his pocket book. The evangelist that spoke at your last meeting said. If you pick upsomething, you must put down something, and he is right. I did that when I was a boy. I went to a blacksmith shop and picked up a piece of hot Iron. The most beautiful actress in New York says that she just can't live on fifty thousand dollars a year. Now I know just how she feels. I can't do it my self. Well Mr. president guess Ill side track here and wait for your next Club meeting Hoping that you all will raise that hundred by June 1st. I remain yours for cheaper Bacon and beans. Jack Daw Mississippi Leads. By The Negro Associated Press Jackson, Miss, March 25- Mississippi is the first state to pass the $50,000 mark set by Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago merchant, who has planned to establish a group of rural schools for Negroes in the several sections of the South. Bura Hilburn will conduct the work in this state. To Protect the Girls. (By The Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga., March 25, 5,000 is the sum of money PRICE, FIVE CENTS 61 SOLDIERS. New York, N. Y., March—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People recently announced that a petition was being circulated to which it was hoped to obtain 100,000 signatures, asking President Harding to parden 61 members of the 24th Infantry who are still in prison for their connection with the Houston riot of 1917. The petition which will be backed up by country-wide mass meetings of N. A. A. C. P. branches, one of which was held in New York, N. Y., on Sunday, March 13th, recites that thirteen members of the 24th Infantry were hanged after the riot without right of appeal to the Secretary of War or to the President and that local animosity had been shown the troopers before the riot occurred. Many of the 61 men in prison at Leavehworth, Kansas, are serving life terms and the remainder for the most part long sentences. It is being claimed by these men that they were convicted in some cases without pride of their directly being involved in the Houston disorders. A Straight Shot at (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill. March 25-The resolutions enclosed were passed at a meeting of the Parents Clnb of the Ray school at 57th and Kimbark Avenue on Friday. February 25th. We hope that those who receive this copy may be sufficiently interested in the reforms suggested that they may give these resolutions their support or announcement in some form. Whereas, some of the later modes of social dancing are unwholesome and particularly unbecoming of the society, of our best young people. Whereas, such unbecoming modes of dancing are more thraetening to the best welfare of the society of young people than any of the changes in their social entertainment, in many years. Wheras, much of the participation in such dances is directly changeable to the kinds of music offered by the orchestras, and that much of the popularity of such unseemly dancing is due to the lack of the knowledge and helpful advice on the part of parents, ministers, educator, and social workers, that such dancing exists. Be it RESOLVED, that parents, ministers, educators, soci workers, and others interested in young people, be recommended to co-operate most earnestly with chaperons and those offering the dance as a social activity in the entertainment of young people, towards eradicating and suppressing the unfortunate features and towards restoring to the best standards of former years that most entertaining art, particularly the typical folk dances of the various national titles. which is being raised by a committee of Colored women in this city for the purpose of a home for Colored girls. The Rev. Russell Brown is the projector of the movement. Leads in His Line. (By Associated Negro Press) "Charley" Gilpin merely dropped in and paid his respect at the Drama Leagues, dinner the other night. A mighty sensible man and a good friend and true Gilpin. I find no little glory in the fact that I determined him a great artist several years since. He was a member of the Pekin Theater stock company. He was easily the cleanest cut figure in that somewhat remarkable aggregation. He was pronouncedly strong in character parts and often rose to heights of incomparable acting. I came to intimately know of his aspirations. We often talked together of what we believed would finally come to the Negro artist Broadway and the consequent acceptance of a great metropolitan audience. And here it is with Gilpin in the stellar role. President King Is Now In America On Business. '(By Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., March 18,—President C. B. D. King of Liberia has arrived in Washton. He is in the United States to arrange for big loan for his government. While in New York City he was entertained at the Waldorf-Astoris and occupied the suite used by the king and Queen of Belgium when they visited New York. Washington, D. C., March 25- There are signs abroad that the Liberian Mission is in danger of meeting failure in its quest for a loan from the government. The local press is, apparently, lineed up against foreign loans to anybody. It will be remembered that the feeler put out by British government in this direction got a severe drubbing at the hands of the press and the public. In the Liberian instance the local press has gone so far as to call the object of the Liberians' visit "A toon." These signs together with the fact that the Mission has canceled its engagement of headquarters at the expensive Arlington Hotel point, somewhat, to the failure of the loan project. President King's mouth, however, is tightly sealed on the matter. His associates, apparently taking the cue from their distinguished leader, don't even wink an eye much less open their mouths on the situation. Taken in its several aspects the matter includes a series of embarrassing complications for which nobody seems to have a key for a solution. The public, the press and the foreign loan situation in general, are combined against the Liberians, the signs say, and that appears to end the matter for the present. The local friends of the Liberians find a small crumb of comfort in the fact that Liberia is one of the small governments that were included in a loan program that was adopted by this government subsequent to the Armistice. Liberia's position as a natural ward of the United States is also pointed out as a vantage point for probable success for the African republic. But these hopes would seem to be buried beneath the weight of hostile public opinion and the uncertain loan conditions now facing the new administration. Taken in its broader outlines there is every appearance that Liberia has chosen a very inopportune moment in which to press its claims for a loan from the government. Churches Did Their Alexanderla, Va., March 18- Colored citizens have donated $41,05 for a "Colored Ward" in the city hospital. All of the Colored churches contributed to the fund. His Views Are Sound. By The Negro Associated Press Jacksonville, Fla., March 18. In a recent editorial the TINES- UNION declares: "The Southern states are helping about Negro education, they are maintaining public schools for both races and southern men contribute to a considerable extent to higher private schools for Negroes. But we should do no more The South is the home of the Negro and will remain his home and the more kindly the relations of the races in the South are, the better it will be for the races."

Briley, Church Reporter. Special to The Negro Star:— Let me have space to say a few words about the good people of Valley View. A few days ago Mr. Paillen Browning, mail carrier on R. 3, came in from his work, not knowing that his shepherd dog was sick, he called the dog to him; he soon found out that the dog was mad. The dog bit him on the hand and at this time he is in Jackson, Miss., to the Mad-stone, and there have been several mad dogs through Carroll County and bit quite a few people. Mr. Joe Willie and Barbara Tidwell were happily married at Oak Grove Baptist Church. Mrs. Nellie Mitchell has just re- turned from Duck Hill, attending the quarterly meeting and reports a good time. The sick list of this writing begins with the writer's wife, Mrs. Rachael Redditt, Mrs. Jeff Delain, Miss Bessie Redditt; Mr. A. M. Stansberry is very sick in Greenwood, Miss.

Mr. Jeff Delain's mother is visiting him; she lives near West Point, Miss. A. B. Redditt. R. I. Box 52. South St. Louis, Notes Mrs. Brown celebrated her husband's birthday with a party, Friday evening and all present enjoyed the affair.

March 11th was election day for the city and everybody was doing his best to put the best men to the front. Miss Margret Cage has returned to the city after a few weeks at home with relatives. We were glad to see her come in again. Named His Own (By The Associated Negro Press) Durham, N. Car., March 25. After being found guilty of larceny by a jury in Judge O. H. Horton's court last Wednesday morning. Robert Dunston, a Negro, sentenced himself to 90 days on the roads. The sentence followed the query of the judge as to what the prisoner thought would be fair sentence for him to impose and the prisoner answered, '90 days your honor.' 'Let it be 90 days, Mr. Clerk,' responded the court. Found in a Baptist (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D.C., March 25 President and Mrs. Harding attended their first church service at the Calvary Baptist Church on Sunday March 13 Dr J.

(By The Associated Negro Press) Quapie Hill, N Car., March 25 -Social equality between the white and black races was characterized as a myth and a condition which no southern Negro wanted or thought about by Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Fuskegee institute, in an address recently delivered, before students of the University of North Carolina. "The Negro race in the South," Dr. Moton declared, "has advanced further than similar number of Negroes anywhere on the globe, because it has had the privilege of coming in contact with the white people of the South. To the Southern white people we owe our language and our religion, all that we have learned and all that we have advanced in civilization." Shall He Return. (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, March 25—"Will Marcus Garvey get back into the United States?" is a question that has been asked in many quaters here. Garvey is now taking a tour of the West Indies, and Officials of his organization state that he is expected to return to this country in April. However, there is a report which has not been substantiated, that government officials will refuse to permit Mr. Garvey to enter the country on the grounds that he is an undesirable alien.

Admission is free. THE NEW NEGRO. It is, pleasantly true that the New Negro is "forgetting the things that are behind him and is pressing on to higher things as an American citizens," everywhere you will read his program of development, viz: better homes, better churches, better society, more co-operations welfare leagues, community meetings, more protection and education for the youths, bigger bank accounts, more inventions, more patience with a fixed purpose and a well thought out plan to carry out that purpose when the chance comes and political views for the safeguarding of all men alike in America. While he is performing these missionary tasks, he is crossing the mighty deep with his money and missionaries, with marked sympathy to give his brother and neighbors the torch-light of Christian development. "Forgetting what things?" We hear you ask, why slavery, oppression, lynching, burning and immorality on his young girls who are by poverty forced into the offices and homes of the debased southern white man, who thinks it no disgrace for him to rob a Negro girl of her virtue with his law declaring that she is not good enough to be his wife, and he suffers no downfall in his standing society by his conduct. We don't mean that the New Negro, is eliminating these ills from his mind, but we mean that he is manly fighting on inspire of them and will be in power and protected by law to change these conditions. He is not asking that any man nor race be crucified to do this, but that all things work for good, and sweet and bountious will be the harvest for all. Mr. Robert Martin, of 1135 N.

Pennsylvania has Charles Vann of Pittsburgh and Andrew Steven of Philadelphia, with Justice Carter of Harrisburg, all in constant wirsless communication with the capital via Senator Penrose. Indiana has judge Cornelius R. Richardson, of Richmond, and Fareet Tidrington of Evansville, who know "personally" Senators New and Watson, and who have separate and distinct opinions on their personal qualities and statemenship. Illinois is one great state North, with its magnificent and mighty Chicago, where there is little or nothing said of Federal patronage. Under the Mayor or Thompson organization, in city and state, the faithful are so splendidly taken care of, that national honors have no appeal. That's a situation to be noticed. However, Senators McCormick and McKinley, it may be accurately stated, are laying plans to build up an organization that will be a hummer. The story of the South is yet to be told.

One of the commissioner's was recently dining at the Whitelaw with one of the representatives of the Garvey movement. 'Do you call your President. "Your Excellency?" Inquired the M. G man. 'No replied the dignified, stately Liberian visitor. "Just Mr President or Mr. King." To which the M. G. man muttered a long draw. "Oh-h-h." As a matter of fact His Excellency, the Honorable Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa, etc., etc., has absorbed well nigh all the titles in the bright lexicon of title assumption. “he ie
