Washington, March 31.-President
Harding gave his first official utter
ance on the race problem" to the

"The White House,
March IL, 1921.
my Dear Mr.. Brascher:
"In the last year have had some
opportunity to learn OF the work of
The Associated Negro Press and am
pleased to say that, SO far as / have
noted, it is doing a useful work in
the direction of establishing a sound
and enlightened attitude of mind to-
ward the race problem in this coun-
try. l feel that cooperation and mu-
tuality of understanding, together
with spirit Of tolerance and help
fulness, will do very much toward
betterment in all phases of our ma

encouraging every activity of this
kind Sincerely yours,

PARTY LOYALTY IS
TO RECEIVE FIRST
CONSIDERATION IN
ALL JOB-RUNTERS

Washington, March 31-From good
sources, it is reported, merit and
party loyalty are going to be the chief
Okeh passing marks. Those who
hold office must measure up in men
tai 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 indi-
viduals, and groups of individuals,
with hammers seeking to knock the
"stuffin's' out of every single-or
double or applicant for any
and all offices. OF course, there has
not been a man appointed, or pro-
posed for appointment, from Secre-
tary 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 sug-
gested as a possible parsonage for
federal favor. 1t is a sickening lot
of accusations that are afloat in the
Washington air. The charges range
all the way from petty larceny to
murder in the first degree, some true,
some 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 crea-
ture 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.

N. A. A. C.P. Starts
WORK ON BEHALF OF
24TH INF. IN PRISON

(By The Associated Negro Press)
New York, March 31.-The National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People recently announced
that a petition was being circulated
to which it was hoped to obtain
100000 signatures, asking President
Harding to pardon 81 members of the
oath Infantry who are still in prison
for their connection with the Houston
riot of 1917.
The petition, which will be backed
up by countrywide mass meetings of
N. A A C. P. branches, one of which
was held in Newark, N. j., on Sun
day. March 18th, recites that thirteen
members of the oath Infantry were
hanged after the riot without right
of appeal to the secretary of war or
to the President and that local ami
mostly had been shown the troopers
before the riot occurred.
Many of the 81 men in prison at
Leavenworth, Kan, are serving life
terms and the remainder for the most
part long sentences. 1t is claimed by
these men that they were convicted
in some cases without pride of their
directly being involved in the Hous-
ton disorders.
