MR. JENKINS CONTINUES TO
SPEAK TO HIS PATRONS
Our growing popularity shows that
in barbering, as in everything else, I
have made good my promise to my
patrons. I stand for first class, clean
business. I began with it and still
stand for clean business. There is no
pool hall connection with my busi
ness. I run a strictly first class bar
ber shop with up-to-date methods in
barbering. Everything strictly clean,
sanitary and up-to-the-minute. Have
your wife come down and your child
and enjoy a quiet stay while you are
being shaved.

WHY THE NEGRO
LEAVES THE SOUTH
The cause is complex and many
angled, not simple and categorical.
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!
