The subject of this article was born
in Crockett County, Tennessee, in
1879. the son of Methodist minister.
When quite young he was carried
by his father to Nashville, where he
attended the public schools, after
which he entered what was known as
the Central Tennessee College, which
is now Walden University. Having
finished the normal course, he began
the study of law in the same school,
graduating with honors in 1908.
Attorney Blakemore began the prac-
tice of law at indianapolis, Ind. After
two years he located at Okmulgee,
Indian Territory, which was the capt.
tai of the Creek nation. He remain
ed there six years, during which time
the Indian Territory was admitted
into the Union as the state of Okla
homa. He won much popularity in
Oklahoma and was considered one of
the best practitioners in the state.
His friends in Kansas then persuaded
him to move to Wichita. Here he
held several responsible positions.
He has received much praise from
the best thinking people of both the
Negro and white races.
He is race man through and
through. This has been shown through
out his career; for all along we have
read of his fights in cases where the
principles of our race were endanger-
ed. And in many of the leading pa
pers of America we read of his fights

one of the most significant and refers
TO the reorganization of federal de-
partments and bureaus. Aside from
the pledge being marked with the
sound business sense that has char
acteriZed the Republican idea of ad-
ministration of public economics, 1t
will reach one of the sources of racial
humiliation that the present admins
tration has visited upon its colored
employees, the evil of segregation.
REORGANIZATION with n view to con

forever dispelled. OF course, the

for the principles of the Negro race.
In many of these fights he neither
expected or received pecuniary COM
pensation, but simply fought for what
he believed to be helpful to his people.
Leading men ali over the Union
speak of him as an abled and trust
worthy promoter of the principles of
the Negro race. And since he has
been here in Denver, those of us who
read cal testify that he has scored
several victories for the race. Not
once has he been known to betray the
trust that we, as members of the
Negro race, have put in him. And
from each of the places where he has
practiced we learn that his reputa-
ton has been one that we should be
proud of.

this disposition to discriminate against
the colored soldier is nothing new
with the Democratic administration.
Studied humiliation, either inspired or
the rule in France, and the dis
couragement of combatant troops of
colored soldiers was generally fol-
lowed.
1t is being remembered in Washing
ton that when the administration was
having its brushes with Mexico, of
ficia1 cognizance of white valor and
black valor varied in remarkable de-
gree. Huerta had refused to salute
the flag and the United States ma
rines landed in Vera Cruz. Several
white boys met their death, and when
their bodies were returned to this
country, the President very properly
journeyed to Brooklyn to do honor to
their memory. His words over those
brave boys were classic and fraught
with tears.
Later, when the brave black boys of
the Tenth cavalry, after performing
deeds of heroism striving to save the
lives of their white commanders. fell
in defense of the same flag, it is said
that the Democratic administration
treated the incident in n different
manner.
The colored boys were brought to
Washington for interment with the
honors of war at Arlington. Friends
had assembled to follow them to their
graves. 1t is being told upon good
authority that Joseph Tumulty re-
quested the people who had the ar
rangements in hand to have the fun
eral procession go out the deserted
streets so that the dirge would not
disturb the slumbers of the occupant
of the White House.

A RACIAL HANDICAP

The question logically arises as to why
is this lack of knowledge demonstrated
by the members of the Negro race. The
answer is simply because the literary
works and lives of Negroes are not in
cluded in the prescribed courses of our
schools and colleges. For this reason
we are contending that the use of Ne
gro literature and text books should be
inaugurated in every school attended
by Negroes.
Negro children read the description
of the Negro as is usually given in the
Biographies, they read the exploits of
the white statesmen and soldiers, they
study the literature of white authors,
and only hear of the accomplishments
of the members of their own race when
some fervent and patriotic speaker re-
naturally infer that they are inferior to
the. white children and that the deeds
of Negroes are Incompatible with
those of other races and ure not worthy
neIlCe lie SIOWS up
as to the real contributions of his race
to civilization.
This is unfair to the Negro boy and
girl. They should receive instruc-
ton concerning the lives of Negro
statesmen, soldiers, educators, etc.
They should be familiar with the liter
airy works of Negro authors and with
the contributions of the Negro to the
progress of this country and to civiliza-
ton BY placing the literary works OF
Negroes in the courses this ignorance
of racial achievement would be al
Iayed, race pride would be stimulated
and in addition by reading of the hard
ships which some of the men who
have gained fame, have been forced 10
overcome, it would inspire the Negro
boys and girls of this age to tackle
obstacles, apparently insurmountable
and uncongnerable, with such zeal and
determination that success would be
assured them-Tuskegee Student.

WILL NEGRO WOMEN IN THE
SOUTH HAVE VOTES?

To the Sun and New York Herald +;
Now that the Nineteenth Amendment
has been ratified it may be well to
take closer look at the thing. Soon
we shall hear campaign speakers
achievement of the Republican party,
but does any sane person believe that
the colored women of the Southern
states will be permitted to vote under
the Nineteenth Amendment any more
than the colored men of those states
were permitted to vote under the Four
teenth Amendment?
The Nineteenth Amendment will
fare no better than the Fourteenth so
far as the Southern states are con-
cerned, because the Democratic poll
ticians of that section, knowing the
timidity of the Republican party with
regard to the Fourteenth Amendment
will nullify and ignore it at their
pleasure.
The women of the Eastern, the
Northern and the Western states have
the ballot without this amendment; !;
the colored women of the Southern
states will not have the ballot with it.

impediment to racial or national
progress is by no means an easy
task, but rather one of the most diff
ficult type. The menace, Ignorance,
however, plays an important part in
the hindrance of progress and will be
among the greatest in any classifica-
ton.
Although the percentage of Hitter
ates among Negroes has been reduced
for so per cent to 20 per cent during
the last fifty-four years, that is by no
means an indication that there is no
room for Improvement. Illiterates, ac-
cording to the definition of the statis-
ticians, are persons who can neither
read nor write. If a person can read
and write little, he or she is classi-
fled as literate. For this reason, there
are many so-called literates who are
more or less ignorant.
Negro may be thoroughly edu-
Gated in all branches of the present
system of education and yet be ignor-
ant as to the history of his own race,
ignorant as to the progress of his race.
as to the racial traits and various
other factors relating to his race.
A person may be literate and edu-
Gated and yet be ignorant as to his
through life minus that quality of self
reliance which is so essential to sue
cess and with nothing to inspire him to
search for his talents and to try him
self out.
In this manner we could continue TO
name and discuss numerous ways in
which a person can be educated and
vet ignorant, and which are detri-
mental to racial progress. This, how
ever, is not our purpose, but rather to
discuss the ignorance of certain groups
of our own race of facts pertaining to
racial progress and civilization.
There are too few Negro boys and
girls who have definite and extensive
knowledge of the history of the Negro
race. They complete the courses pre-
scribed in the city and high schools ana
in many instances the colleges, yet
they are ignorant of the part which
the members of their race played III
the development of this country. Few
of them know that the record OF the
Negro soldier is unstained by coward
ice. They do know, however, that
their fore-parents We're slaves ana
that they were liberated by the sign
ing of the Emancipation Proclamation
by Abraham Lincoln. They are well
and fully informed as to the lives
and achievements of George Washing
I ton, Lincoln, Grant, Roosevelt, wilson
and many other eminent statesmen ana
soldiers. They are familiar with the
literary works of Longfeliow. Whittier
Tennyson, Bryant and other men of
literary note of the white race, but
they are on the other hand, not fully
informed of the lives and achieve
ments of men and women of our race,
like Frederick Douglass, Blanche X.
Bruce. Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Phyllis
Wheatly, John M. Langston, So1ourner
Truth, Booker T. Washington, Charles
Young and many others who nave
gained prominence in literary lines or
as statesman or soldiers.
Few Negro boys and girls, for IN
stance, know that n Negro constructed
; the first clock made in America. Like
wise, we could continue to name men
and women who have accomplished
things which are important records IN
the development of the Negro race ana
also of this country of which the aver
age Negro boy and girl is ignorant.

WHITES RAPE coLoREo GIRLS
IN TEXAS.

Marshall, TeXas-Two young girls
were held up on the public streets at
night by two police officers illegally
arrested and outraged in the town
lookup and then set Mt liberty before
sun-up. There has been no talk of
lynching because these girls are color
ed and the men white.
The two young colored girls, both
under sixteen years, We're on their
way home with escorts, when they
were accosted by Patrolman NJ. Me
Cav, and Constable J. Melton, both
white, on the technical charge of dis
turbing the peace
The charge was only ruse to get
the party to the lookup, where the
boys were kept in the basement, and
the two girls taken upstairs where
they were shamelessly raped. Parts
of their clothing We're torn off in the
struggle to defend themselves.
Later, the two girls We're carried
to their escorts, and the
party told to, "shut their mouths, and
beat it," They were threatened with
death if they "squeaked."
They were later advised to leave
town until the affair had subsidized.

 Many signboards were blown over throughout the city and in one section couple of houses were unroofed by the force of the wind.
 With the rising tide and growing winds residents and pleasure seekers along the shore of Lake Ponchartrain commenced f1ocking into the city. Driven by the in- creasng wind the water in Lake Pom chartran began coming over the sea- wall at West End and Spanish Fort.
 All hotels of the city are filled to over flowing and refugees are camping in the postofice. customs house and other pub lie buildings
 At 10 o'clock tonight the wind velocity here was 30 miles from the northeast. At Burwood on the coast at ' o'clock the wind from the northeast was blowing 5S miles an hour Since that time the weather bureau has been unable to com municate with the station at Burwood.
