And YOU WILL HELP PAY IT. AN ADVERTISEMENT OF METZ BREWING CO., OMAHA, NEB. Facts in Rhyme By Myrtle M. Goodlow Is there a more pathetic sight Than an uncaded for child? Roaming the streets like an animal wild, From early morning till late at night! Helpless children we canot blame. But those who are mothers only in name. Who cruelly neglect their daughters or sons, Just to have what they call, fun! Fun—for which they shall dearly pay. Some future day—not far away. Some mothers go to a beer tavern and spend the money their husbands earn— And the fact that makes us weep— Children at home without a bite to eat! Without necessary clothing and sho es for their feet. These mothers too are having fun— But the day will surely come. When they shall weep and reap, And the price they pay will not be cneap. Many mothers are working today, And earning good pay. Some mothers feel their children are in their way— They too have a day when the mon ey they earned, Will bring a sad return. In heartaches and memories that will distress, Because they failed to do their best, For their children’s happiness. Many mothers have failed on the job Which should have been— The greatest in life for them. To bring up their children, To be worthwhile women and men!

The undemocratic, demoralizing practice of the Jim Crow Train has had no negative ruling from the Uni ted States Supreme Court which is still indecisive on the matter and has not as yet, touched the root of the system that supprts the Jim Crow Train. The Supreme Court in Arth ur W. Mitchell (Congressman, 111.) vs. Illinois Central Railroad Co., de clared that a Negro “Is an American citizen, free to travel, and he is en titled to go by this particular route whenever he chooses to take it and in that event to have facilities for his journey without discrimination a gainst him which the Interstate Com merce Act forbids” “The denial of accommodations because of his race would be an invasion of a funda- . mental individual right which is guar anteed against State action by the [ Fourteenth Amendment.” ! ' In this, the celebrated Mitchell case ! decision, the Supreme Court merely 1 condemned unequal accommodations • % while it gave approval to the separ ate transportation system of the South. The duplicity and double talk of the ruling is seen in the fact that there is no such thing as equal accommodation as long as it is sep arate and not the same, in the South or any other place. Indeed, many railroads operating in the South, prin cipally the Atlantic Coast Line, hook another car onto the regular train that has facilities equal to that oc cupied by the whites' and herds the Negroes into it. The Negroes then are given equal accommodations, but not the same. The Jim Crow Train will not be a bolished until Negro lawyers, Negro leaders, and Negro mass pressure be come united on the objective of des troying the "equal accommodation" misnomer and demanding instead, the same accommodations that are enjoy ed by anyone else. This means that the Jim Crow Train problem will be tackled at its roots, at the germ of the evil. "Equal” means even the ex treme of two separate trains running side by side Oil the same schedule. The “Same” means the actual prac tice of the democratic ideal. The Committee to Abolish Jim Crow Transportation in the United States ■eeds help. It should get all it needs both from Negroes and fair minded whites.
