MoocHERs HANGING AROUND
STATE CAPITOL.

Our attention has been repeatedly
called to the moochings of some curb
stone, jobless politicians at the State
Capitol. There are certain worthless,
jobless, conscienceless Negroes who
daily ply the trade at the State Capt.
tol constantly begging the successful
candidates for loan" or hand-out
to help reimburse them for money
they spent in the last election. The
Star severely condemns such unprin-
cipled methods OF extortion and liv-
ing by the wits, and therefore warns
the public against these idle, unreli-
able, afraid-of-work political beggars.
The Star hopes that no politicians,
successful or unsuccessful, will pay
these political parasites any attention
and thus force them to go to work
They are a disgrace to the honest.
hard-working, tax-paying citizen and
blot upon our race. They stand in
the way for help in some worthy and
deserving cause. The Star again con-
demns the practice and brands these
fakirs as unworthy of belief by any
one A beggar is a beggar and po-
litical beggar is the worst kind of a
beggar.
