Washington, Match 23—From rood source itis reported, mer- it and party loyalty are going to bethe chief Oxeh passing marks, Those who hold office must measure up in mental and physical capicity; they must be bicked by their Senators and their state organizations, and they must be regarded as genu- ine representatives of the group. The political woods are filled with the faithful looking for the stonea upon which they might xrind their axes. But the politi- eal carpenter shopis also very lively with individuals, and groups of individuals with ham- imers seeking to knock the “'stuffin’s”’ out of every single- or double or treble-applicant for any and all offices.

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.

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. On Feb. 17th "Mr. Stork" visited the home of Mr. Colgee and Mrs. Jennie Mitchell and left a fine baby boy. Mrs. A. Richinson and Mr. Walter Richinson were visitors of Valley View, Sunday on account of the illness of her daughter. Mrs. Incz Mitchell visited Valley View, and was all smiles; she said all the home folks were well. Mrs. Rosie Goodwin called to see the sick sisters. Mr. Jeff Delain's mother is visiting him; she lives near West Point, Miss. A. B. Redditt. R. I. Box 52.

(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.

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.

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.
