Perhaps the greatest element in all this causation is the Jim Crow Car. It is morse than lynching: lynching occasionally kills one man; the Jin. Crow Car perpetually tortures ten thousand. I am writing on board a Jim Crow Car from Little Rock, Ark., toward St. Louis, Mo., a horrible night ride. The Colored women have one end of a smoker, separated from smoking white men by a partition that rises only part the way from the floor to ward the ceiling of the car. All of the smoke and fumes, and some of the oaths come over. Some of these Colored people have already spent two nights in this same car-end, com ing all the way from the lower side of Texas. For them the name of the train must sound very much like j irony: it is “The Sunshine Special.” Just behind us is a chair car for ! white people where they can stretch out and rest with sanitary napkins under their heads. They have paio exactly the same “first class” fares paid by these Colored passengers. Cut in the Jim Crow Car there are only straight-backed seats filled with the dust and grime of neglect. All ol these Colored people are wishing, and some of them giving audible expres sicn to the wish, to reach Poplar Bluff, the first stop in Missouri, so that they can go back into that chair tar, and out of the squalor and dis comfort of this car-end. And some of these Colored men are in the ser vice of the United States, sumoned from the far comers of Texas to New port News, Va., to be trained to fight for democracy in Europe; and be cause they travel practically all of the way through southern territory they must sit up for three nights and days, without change of clothing or a bit of warm focd, certainly a good prepara tion for trench warfare. Then, “Why does the Negro leave the South?” Indeed! You would FEEL a large part of the answer if you could be on this train in this Jim Crow Car, and share for one night the longing of these people to reach the lin£ that divides Missouri from Ar kansas, or any other part of “the line” that separates Dixie from the rest of creation!
