Wanted--Information Concerning Colored Inventors. Mr. Henry E. Baker, an expert examiner in the office of the United States Patent Office, has been detailed by the government to obtain information concerning patents to colored inventors, in compliance with a request from the Emancipation Proclamation Commission of the state of Pennsylvania, authorized by the legislature of that state to prepare an exhibit showing the progress of the colored people of the United States among the fifty years following the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. The exhibit is to be held in Philadelphia, Pa., in September of this year. A general letter has been sent out, signed by E. B. Moore, commissioner of patients, asking the aid of the citizens, newspapers, and everybody in possession of the facts, to send to the Patent Office, in a franked envelope, the names of any colored inventors they may know, together with the date of the grant, title of invention and patent number, so that a list absolutely correct can be prepared for the Philadelphia exhibit. The filled out blanks will be turned over to Mr. Baker for tabulation as rapidly as they come into the Patent Office. Mr. Baker is in receipt of a large number already, but it is his belief that many more patents have been issued to colored inventors than appear in the records he has thus far obtained, and it is his desire that any persons who know of other grants shall feel free to write him at once, giving him the data required. As a refutation of those who have contended that "the Negro has never invented anything except lies," it is important that a full and complete exhibit of the Negro's practical inventive genius be made at the Philadelphia Semi Centennial Emancipation Exposition in September. Patent attorneys can be especially helpful in this work.—Exchange. KILLING COLORED MEN BECOME GREWSOME TO PAPER Low Work. The killing of Negroes by white people in order to fatten an average ought to be stopped, and killing Negroes just because one is a bad humor ought also be stopped. Two apparently inoffensive Negroes; good farm hands, real wealth producers, were assassinated near German-town a few days ago. The Negroes had furnished no possible motive for the deed. So far as as anyone knows they were quiet and orderly, as country people of their class usually are. They worked and played and loafed, just like other country Negroes. Now, the Negro is about the only dependable tiller of the soil in these parts. Competition for existence is not keen engugh to force many white people into the harder work. The Negro is also useful as a distributor of money. About all he gets goes through his fingers. Commercially, then, he is a very valuable asset. It is not good business to kill them. When the Negro enters into the contest with the white man he is already at a disadvantage, and therefore the truly brave white man never seeks a quarrel with Negroes. He knows that the Negro is at a disadvantage, and he does not desire to take advantage of him. Furthermore, the white man of courage can most always control the Negro without being compelled to resort to violence.—The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tenn., July 29. HURRAH! HURRAH!

I want to acknowledge that I have for the last 10 years aided the democrats into power, and not for the purpose of crushing and humiliating our people by segregation, nor to put upon them the stamp of inferiority to all other races. No! But for them to forsake that old time ignorance that is fed by a false pride, for we are at a place now where we must use our even temper, sober good sense and money to defeat all who proves a hater or a dishonest thinker towards the race, or those, who in office tolerates an injustice of any kind towards any race. We are coming to a desert of blood, the negro race is principally the chief moulders of character and filters of men to go through this awful crimson desert, through which we must pass before the narrow contracted ignorant will lead justice instead of injustice. We cannot afford to look backwards, we owe no party anything, yet we can put our enemies into oblivion by the liberal use of our ballots and money to defeat all those who dare insult our race, and then publish it to the world. Every negro office holder under such immediate influence should resign at once. If Mr. Wilson goes wrong let us try another. After such high-sounding words and advocated principles of justice, such as were uttered by the Vice-President, Thomas Marshall, are very timely to make him mindful of them in order to test his sincerity. "If I doubted that the return of the historic democratic party to power would fail to right the wrongs of industrial life, wipe out the injustices of legislation and to preserve the opportunity of every man for happiness, then my voice now weak, would be silent.

And may my right hand for get her cunning, and my tongue clean to the root of my mouth if in all my gettings I fail to get that greatest gift—wisdom and understanding to know the heart break and the need of our common humanity."---From Gov. Marshall's speech of acceptance. Now tell me where is this good man and his ideals? Is he also tied up and ready to be delivered? Such a man as he ought to be in first place, or in the halls of legislation. Respectfully yours, ```markdown ``` W. W. JORDAN. Interesting News Concerning the Race. The Mallory Brothers are conducting a very successful business at Jacksonville, Ill., handling almost everything possible, from diamonds to stoves. Their business is perhaps the most diversified controlled by any race. Recently they added a real estate department. They began as musicians, having the leading orchestra in that city. C. H. James, a wholesale commission merchant, in the city of Clarkeston, W. Va. did a $60,000 business the past year. Mr. James owns the three story block in which his business is located and employs ten people. He has at times been sec'y. and chairman of the Wholesale Commission Merchants Association of his city. The Industrial Savings Loan Investment Co., with a paid up capital of $25,000, is a Negro organization at Danville, Va., that is proving a great success. The company, in addition to helping the Negro secure homes in the city, owns considerable real estate, much of which is business property. J. R. Wilson, the sec'y, is a big factor in making it a success. TENTH CAV. PRAISED M. A. Doran, chief of police at Winchester, West Va., has shattered all previous statements about the conduct of the 10th Calvary; who are encamping at Winchester, W. Va. Not only does the able police officer, but other notables, confirm statements as to the good behavior of the colored troops. The statements in the Baltimore Sun of July 27 have consequently been put asunder. It is probable Lieut. Conrad, Col. Gresham and others will take steps to have the Baltimore Sun print a denial. It can be authoratively stated that not a single complaint regarding the conduct of either white or colored troopers has been registered. This puts the Baltimore Sun in the Ananias Club. The Jalvans.

Pictures and Vaudeville HOLCOMBE DEFENDS HOME AGAINST WHITE INTRUDERS Solicitor Jackson Renders Fair Decision In Port Tampa Holdup Episode. Tampa, Fla.—On the night of July 23 at about 1 o'clock three white men entered the home of Columbus Holcombe, an Afro-American, residing in a town near this place, claiming to collect a bill from one of Mr. Holcombe's lodgers. Mrs. Holcombe remonstrated with the men, and they in turn cursed her. Holcombe arose and told the intruders that he did not curse before his wife and did not allow any man, white or black, to curse her. The white men fired two shots in the house, and Holcombe seized his revolver and shot repeatedly until one of the white men was killed and the other two were wounded. Holcombe and Charles Hall, the lodger, were arrested and taken to the county jail. On July 25, after an investigation upon the part of County Solicitor Jackson, they were released on the grounds that they had acted in self defense. This decision has surprised many of the Negro hating white people, as they had hoped for a lynching bee. The colored men were advised to leave this vicinity. The editor of the Tampa Daily Times in commenting on the affair said that Solicitor Jackson did right in exonerating the Negroes. This impartial comment, coming from the pen of a southern white man, shows that not all the white people of the south are enemies to the colored people. The Times says: "It is too much the habit of a certain class of white men to act in their dealings with Negroes as if the latter had no rights of any kind that the dominant race is compelled to respect. This is in the highest degree reprehensible and should receive outspoken condemnation of all those who recognize the error, the criminality of such course of action. "All men are equal before the law and have the same right to its protection in the enjoyment of 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.'" "Reverse the positions of the parties of the Port Tampa affair and consider what a howl of execution would have arisen throughout the country at the deeds of the black fiends that attacked the home of a peaceable citizen in the dead hour of night attempting to murder the inoffending man and his helpless wife in their home all for the alleged purpose of collecting a trifling debt. "There would be talk and perhaps the grim reality of a lynching, and it would be well deserved, as many another crime of the kind that has been in silence condoned."

Anthony Aery. Mr. W. Anthony Aery, press agent at the Hampton (Va.) institute, pays a high tribute to the efforts, work and achievements of the National Negro Press association in an article which recently appeared in the Southern Workman. The article in full is as follows: Wider publicity for the facts of Negro progress and problems of race adjustment is being everywhere secured through heartier and more systematic co-operation among Negro editors and correspondents. Today men have a better chance than they have ever had before to secure accurate and timely facts concerning the struggles and successes of colored people, especially in the south. An important factor in the widening and deepening of public interest in the Negro as a progressive and vital element in American civilization is the National Negro Press association, organized in 1900 and given new life in 1912 at the Chicago meeting of the National Negro Business league. The officers and members of the Negro Press association are working harmoniously "for the highest development of Negro journalism." Their policy is that of printing "the news without fear or favor, giving a true reflex of existing conditions without concealing evil." Their policy also includes the publication of a Negro newspaper and publishers' directory and the establishment of higher standards in advertising, business methods and news service for the public. The work on the directory is being ably done by Henry Allen Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., the national corresponding secretary. The problems of working out a plate service and of developing a reciprocal news service are being worked out by a subcommittee of the executive for action at the annual meeting of the association to be held in Philadelphia in August. The white papers are coming to realize that the public is interested in Negro progress. They are printing as news items the advance of the American Negro in landowning, home building, community and school improvement. The Negro papers are devoting more space to live news concerning their own people and less to sensational material in which the ways, and not the best ways, of white people are exploited. In short, there is a gratifying growth in the common interest of giving all the people all the news of mutual progress and good will. The officers of the National Negro Press association are: R. W. Thompson. Washington, president; Joseph S. Jones, Cincinnati, O., and Gurley Brewer, Indianapolis. Ind., vice presidents; Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville, Tenn., and Charles Sumner Smith, Minneapolis. Minn., secretaries; John L. Thompson, Des Moines, Ia., treasurer; N. Barnett Dodson, New York city, chairman of the executive committee.

Augustus Brazelton, principal of the Douglas high school in this city, is a natice of New Market, Te. n. His father, Anderson Brazelton, was a soldier in the Union army in the war of the rebellion. The elder Brazelton died in 1880, leaving a widow and seven small children. Young Brazelton was therefore thrown on his own resources practically in early life, as were the rest of the children. But, having a good mother in the home to advise and direct affairs, the family was kept together. J. H. Augustus Brazelton attended the public schools of his village during the short session in the fall and the parochial schools supported by the freedman's board of the Presbyterian church during the winter and spring. At eleven years of age he entered the Austin high at Knoxville. However, on account of ill health he was compelled to quit school the following spring and return to his home at New Market. At seventeen he entered the Freedman's Normal institute, Maryville, Tenn. He graduated at Freedman's A. B. J. H. A. BRAZELTON, A. M. Normal within two years and attended for seven years Maryville college (white), an institution founded in 1819. By an act of the legislature of Tennessee and a decree of the board of trustees of Maryville college separating colored from whites in said school, Mr. Brazelton was forced to go elsewhere for one year in order to receive his degree of B. A. So he attended Knoxville college during 1901-2 and graduated. The degree of master of arts has also been conferred upon Profressor Brazelton. In the spring of 1902 he was elected assistant principal of Douglas high, Oklahoma City. Okla., through the assistance of Hon Ed S. Vaught, at that time superintendent of schools of Oklahoma City and now an able attorney and man of affairs. The next year Mr. Brazelton was made principal. This position he has held for ten years and has been recently re-elected. During his administration the Douglas school has grown from ten teachers to fifty and the enrollment has increased from 200 to 1,500. The Douglas high school has now seventy-five graduates. Among the alumni of Douglas high there are three medical doctors and two dentists and three college graduates and one university graduate, one dressmaker and scores of teachers in the public schools of Oklahoma and other states. Professor Brazelton has the distinction of being the last president for two years of the Colored Teachers' Association of the Territory of Oklahoma and the first president for two years of the Negro State Teachers' Association of Okla- QUEEN'S CORONATION All hail the Queen The Coronation of Queen Mary will take place at Peop- les' Tabernacle, Thursday evening, Sept. 4.

POPE-TURNBO PROPRIETOR "Poro" College 3100 Pine St. St. Louis, Mo. THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

Ten days ago Mrs. Frazier appeared at the marriage license office with Frank Frazier a coal black nero. Racephobia and Colormania in Courts Almost simultaneously happened in the district and police courts, over which Judge Butler presided in the former and Judge B. F. Stapleton in the latter, an incident which clearly demonstrates the nonsense and utter folly used by colorphobists in bringing into and determining a case, not upon the guilt or innocence but upon the color of a man or woman's skin. Hereto annexed are the printed incidents which reveal the true character of each judge in the handling of the situation. To the alleged white woman Judge Stapleton said, as we are informed: "If you want to say you are a negro woman and suffer that ignominy, you are discharged." Judge Butler, in district court, after trial anu while white defendant husoand was waiting for sentence for beating his colored wife, asked the wife if she wanted him to give her husband six months, and a reunion was effected, to the utter surprise and disgust of all, especially Deputy Bill Arnett. This happened in our courts in the same week and at a time when race hate and color caste is preached and circulated in the public newspapers. In one instance one judge must have a drop of Negro-white blood before HE can pass on the guilt or innocence of the accused in the police court, but another manly, honest and far-seeing judge accepts the situation and does not try to settle the race question in judging an assault and battery case. We commend Judge Butler, not because he turned the white spouse loose to his Negro wife, but because he was man enough to look at the GUILT or innocence and not their skin or race, regardless as to his whims, prejudices or caprices on the race and color question. We print hereunder both articles: Negress Shows Delight When White Spouse Gets Merge from Jury. Opouse Gets Mercy from Jury. Judge, clerk, district attorney, prospective jurymen, in fact, everybody in the West Side court room, was given reason to laugh this morning at the conclusion of the taking of testimony in the case of William Randall, a Globeville plumber and a white man, who had pleaded guilty to a charge of assault and battery preferred by his wife, Lou Randall, a colored woman "I'll tell you what I'll do," Judge Butler told Randall, after the latter and his colored wife had taken their stand before the bench. "If you both promise me that you will behave yourself, I'll turn you loose. My sentence is that you be confined in the county jail for three hours." "Hurrah!" shouted Mrs. Randall, a typical old-fashioned negress. She made a flying leap for her bewildered husband. Before the latter knew what was happening she had thrown both her arms about his neck and was showering him with kisses. Next she was dancing about the court room with him, shouting thanks to the judge all the time. In a moment the court room was in an uproar. Even Judge Butler could not help joining in the general merriment. For once the dignity of the court was thrown to the winds. Deputy Sheriff Arnett made for the dancing couple, but it required all his strength to pry the happy colored woman loose from her white husband, so that he might take him to jail. The Randalls were married in Cheyenne three years ago. About a month ago Randall hit his wife over the head with a broomstick so hard that she was compelled to stay in the county hospital for a week. Randall's defense was that his wife drank, chewed and smoked and made life generally a burden for him. When Judge Butler was about to pronounce sentence, the wife pleaded that her husband had been punished enough and asked the judge to turn him loose.—Tuesday's Post. Mrs. Nora Frazier, Believed by Everybody to Be White. Arrested for Marrying Negro, Insists She Blood-letting will take place in the municipal court tomorrow morning, if Judge Benjamin F. Stapleton will permit it. Blood will be drawn and analyzed in open court as evidence, if the wishes of a woman defendant are granted. Mrs. Nora Harrington Frazier, who says she is an octooron, demands that her blood be analyzed to prove that she is a negress. If the blood test proves her contention, she will go free; if not, she will pay a fine or serve a sentence. She offers her blood as the test. Ten days ago Mrs. Frazier appeared at the marriage license office with Frank Frazier, a coal black negro, and the two asked for a marriage license. The license was denied on the ground that Mrs. Frazier was a white woman and her companion a negro. The law of Colorado prohibits the intermarriage of the two races. Mrs. Frazier offered to make oath that she was a negress, claiming to be an octooon. Still she was refused. The services of James A. Harris, an attorney, formerly of Tennessee, were then invoked and Mr. Harris convinced the marriage license department that his client was a negress. He had her bare her neck and he showed dark blotches at the root of her hair on the back of her neck. Then he had Frazier press her fingers at the root of the nails. They turned black. He offered to have the marriage license clerk rub the spinal column of Mrs. Frazier, which, he asserted, would turn black, but the marriage license officers were satisfied, the license was issued and the marriage performed. Then she was arrested of a charge of miscegenation. Judge Stapleton has indicated that he would require substantial proof to satisfy him that Mrs. Frazier is a negress before he discharged her. Attorney Harris tomorrow will have a surgeon present and the police surgeon will also be present on behalf of the city, and if Judge Stapleton will permit it blood will be drawn i nopen court and the analysis made in the judge's presence. Modern surgeons say they can tell upon the examination of the blood whether or not there is any negro blood on one's veins — Monday's Post EFFICIENCY. A Word to You. Large business firms are paying business experts as much as $100 a day to examine into methods of conducting their business. The first principle of commerce is economy, and the best economy lies in discovering efficiency. If the expert finds that a man is drawing $50 a week for doing $5 worth of work he recommends a change and the firm acts on his advice; if the expert finds a man earning $2 a day who is competent to fill a position commanding $200 a month, he notifies the management and the promotion is made immediately. Business is becoming an exact science and will soon be as merciless as the forces of nature. The time is fast approaching when every man, under the new method of scrutiny, will get exactly what he is worth. Each day the worker will be reweighed, revalued. Favoritism will be as extinct as the fabled unicorn. Perhaps already the efficiency expert is measuring your worth to the firm. NO JOB FOR THE BLACK MAN AS YET. The commission form of government, as far as the black man is concerned, is a failure up to date. No clerical appointments have been made of our people and there does not seem to be any in sight for the future. The theory is, well done thou good and faithful servant. I will award you with mop and broom for services rendered. And time rolls merrily on and we are out in the cold. Let us mark well where we stand, get together for action and demand representation that is due us the same as others. Do not take no for an answer, but keep on pressing our claims until public sentiment becomes aroused and something will be done. Remember, the pen is mightier than the sword. City News Mr. Ed V.

Friends of Zealous Worker For Order of Elks Present His Claims For Promotion to Highest Office at Coming Grand Lodge Convention—Fine Record of Achievements. The announcement that Armond W. Scott, past exalted ruler of the Morning Star Lodge, No. 40, I. B. P. O. E of W. of Washington will be a candidate for the office of grand exalted ruler of the Colored Elks at the meeting to be held in Atlantic City, beginning Aug. 26, has served to recall some interesting facts about this courageous individual. When the agitation to secure justice for the discharged Brownsville soldiers was on, Mr. Scott was in the vanguard of those loyal race men who assisted Senator Foraker. When the grateful Negroes of this country decided to present Senator Foraker with a loving cup as a slight testimony of their appreciation for his valiant defense of the soldiers and the race, it was Mr. Scott who was chosen to make the presentation speech. And that speech will go down in history as a classic and masterpiece of eloquence and as an uncompromising defense of his race. Mr. Scott is regarded as one, if not the leading, Negro lawyers in the capitol of the nation. He came to Washington without means and practically a stranger in that community. But he 1 ATTORNEY ARMOND W. SCOTT. has steadily forged his way to the front until he has won a reputation as a lawyer and a man, which is a credit not only to himself, but to the race with which he is identified and for which he has constantly battled—for equal justice and opportunities. It was his tireless energy and his devotion and loyalty to his race and clients which has made him the idol of his people. He is not only a highly respected member of the bar of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, but he has also been a member of the bar of the supreme court of the United States for nine years. When he became an Elk he was just as untiring and just as unselfish in his efforts to build up that order and to chase from its temple the money changers as he had been in other endeavors. Mr. Scott has long been regarded as an implacable foe to such lawyer members of the order who would reach their rapacious hands into the grand treasury to take from it funds for themselves that which he believed should be reserved and protected for sick and indigent brothers in the order and for deceased members and their destitute families. As grand legal adviser for the order he has saved it thousands of dollars without a penny's compensation to himself. Just at this time, a crucial period in the history of the order, when the white Elks in some states are seeking to enjoin the Negro Elks out of business through the courts, the services of a trained, able lawyer and an unselfish, tireless, loyal worker for the order like Mr. Scott is needed. Mr. Scott's friends from every section have pressed him into service. The belief exists among many Elks that if Armond W. Scott is elected grand exalted ruler at Atlantic City it will mark the beginning of a new and prosperous epoch for the order and that the order will advance steadily. The belief also exists that if he is chosen the order will have a man at its head who can measure legal attainments with the best white attorneys in defending the rights of the Negro Elks to the ritual, works, emblems and name with and under which they have carried benevolence and love into the stricken homes of the lowly poor of the race. Mr. Scott is in every way equipped with brains, energy, fairness and devotion to the I. B. P. O. E of W. His election just because the order needs his services is predicted by some on the first ballot. Some are so enthusiastic as to believe it will be unanimous. New York Emancipation Exposition. In seeking to make the coming emancipation exposition to be held in New York the last ten days in October distinctively and impressively educational the commissioners have struck a responsive chord of race pride and ambition to show to what intellectual heights the race has attained since its freedom. In this exposition there will be as little as possible of the country fair type of exposition. The commission, rather, stresses the conferences and congresses on the religious, economic and other important phases of the advance of the race. Success of Rural School Supervisors. The position of supervisor of education has always carried with it a high degree of honor and distinction for the person appointed. Three southern states now have colored supervisors of education for the schools attended solely by colored youths. Kentucky and Virginia led off, and Alabama follows. The work of these educators in the two states first named has been eminently successful. 1930 FOR GARDENING you want good tools if you expect to raise garden stuff that's respectable.

Historical Significance of Tentative Program Offered by the Commission For Fifth Anniversary Celebration of Proclamation Freeing Colored Race in America. New York.—As New York city is the most cosmopolitan center in the world, it is particularly valuable for the future of the Negro race that this city should be chosen as the place of the emancipation exposition, made possible by the legislature of the state of New York. The influence for good which this exposition will have upon the people of New York cannot fall to be of farreaching consequences. To any one who has observed closely the salient features of the race problem 'it must have become apparent that the paramount need of all concerned is to have a better, fuller knowledge of the past of the Negro race and, possessing this, to accord it its due privileges and opportunities for the present and thus to render possible its attainment of a future still more worthy of recognition and consideration than anything it has yet achieved. The tentative program of the commission covers an exhibit in thirteen divisions, comprising (1) Africa, showing a historical map of the continent, with particular reference to the parts occupied by Negroes and the arts and crafts of the race at home; (2) charts and diagrams indicating distribution of Negro blood throughout the world and the growth of the race in America, (3) health and physique, (4) occupations, including moving picture demonstrations; (5) science and inventions, (6) education, (7) religion, (8) civics, (9) the work of women, (10) painting and sculpture, (11) literature, (12) architecture (this exhibit will be placed in a small central temple designed by a colored architect and will include pieces of sculpture by Negroes, a library of Negro newspapers and books by Negro authors or relating to the Negro, paintings and decorations by the Negro, etc.); (13) music. Part of the exposition will be devoted to a pageant of Negro history illustrating (1) the discovery of the use of iron, the Negro's method of smelting the metal and of manufacturing implements therefrom; (2) the origin of Egyptian culture, (3) Negro Mohammedan civilization, (4) the Bantu migration, (5) the fall of the empire of Soughay and the rise of the slave trade, (6) the landing of the Negro in America, (7) the first attempts at freedom, (8) Haiti, (9) the cotton kingdom and underground railroad, (10) the abolitionists, (11) emancipation, (12) the struggle and vision of the future. With such a program as this of an exposition of Negro advancement to be held in New York city fifty years after the disgraceful draft riots of which the American metropolis was the scene, the state of New York may congratulate itself for having once more endeavored to retrieve its honor by giving an opportunity to its colored citizens to show why the effort to enlist volunteers to fight for the liberation of the black man was justified. Every member of the commission which made this plan of the exposition is colored. The commission deserves the moral and material support of all colored people, for the success of its program is bound to result in greater consideration and respect for the race. Parker Accepts Chair of Agriculture The State College of Agriculture in Dover, Del., is fortunate in having secured the services of Frederick L. Parker of St. Paul, Minn., as professor of agriculture. Mr. Parker accepted the position on Thursday, May 1. He was a senior in the college of agriculture at the University of Minnesota.
