Children and women laugh more
than men. not because the cares OF
life lie less heavily upon them. but
because the the former are more ex-

power OF the cerebral hemispheres Is
less in them than among men gen
orally.
Profound study makes men serious.
and so foolish people are sometimes
noted for laughing immoderately.

VIRGINIA NEGROES PROTEST
THE "JIM CROW" STREET CARS.

THE Jim CROW" STREET CARS.
Dear Sir:-As you doubtless know
the Jim Grow" Street Car law be.
comes effective in this city lynch
burg, and in fact in all other cities of
this state virginia., June 10, 1906.
So. verify, the time has come when it
should be point of honor with every
Negro to walk-the old and the young,
the strong and the infrm. The Jim
Grow" car law is gratuitous insult
and n needless and bitter humiliation
10 every one with drop of Negro
blood in his or her veins. 1t is only
one more insult added to the long list
the Negro has received at the hand
Of the poor white element of the
South. To some of these insults We
must submit, for there Is no way OF
getting around them; but to this
browning insult We are not compelled
to submit 1t is hard for us to believe
that any Negro with any pride. pa.
triotism. manhood or womanhood will
actually pay his or her money to be
Inundated and insulted when the
matter has once been presented to
them in the right and true light.
II we wish to go long distance by
rail we must pay as much as the
whites pay for luxurious travel to be
insuted by Jim Grow" cars. But
Lynchburg is a very small city. and 1t
will not make us very tired, weary or
footsore to walk. We have not always
had street cars, nor have we at all
times been possessed Of horses and
buggies. Most Of us have feet suffi-
cient unto our needs, and should they,
in the course of wear and tear, become
beautifully less, 1t would be all the
better from an artistic standpoint. Es-
pecially can all Negroes afford to walk
on Sundays, when they have time even
to burn. God gave us our feet for
use. Exercise will make us physically
strong.
II the white man does not respect
and will wound our pride, manhood
and citizenship, let us disrespect and
wound his pocket. The boycott Is Of
ten an effective remedy where others
have failed. Witness. for instance, the
late Chinese boycott Of American made
goods. Dollars won where diplomacy
failed. Let US touch to the quick the
white mans pocket. It's there his
conscience often lies. Let US hit back
whenever we can and as hard as we
can. Are we not human? Are we not
warmed by the same summer and
cooled by the same winter? Why
should we submit to any injustice or
insult at the hands OF the whites, un'
less compelled to do 30. In this case,
We repeat we are not compelled; and

BOYCOTT AS
REMEDY AGAINST
DISCRIMINATION

If we patroniZe the street cars, we will
be voluntarily humiliating and insult.
ing ourselves.
The Negroes of Lynchburg spend
thousands of dollars annually riding
the street cars. These thousands go to
pay the dividends on a goodly number
OF shares OF street railway stock and
the salaries of white employees. Is
The Negro of Lynchburg willing for the
white man to profit at the expense or
his humiliation? God forbid. Think
what these thousands would mean
saved in the pocket of the black man.
Think what the nickels and dimes
saved from car fare will amount to In
six months, in twelve months, in two
years in three! in five Many could
pay the debts on their own homes and
churches out of the money that would
otherwise go for car fare. Think,
think, think,
We do not object to the separation.
but to the discrimination All the
world knows that on street cars there

even remote pretense of social equal.
ity between the races.
The preachers are the spiritual lead
ers of the people. II is as much their
duty to teach them how to live true
men and women with backbone and
pride. as to die. We therefore appeal
to all the Colored ministers Of the city
to eXhort their congregations twice on
Sundays, three times, If they can. and
on every opportunity during the week,
public and private. to boycott the
street cars with all their power and
strength as long as the obnoxious law
remains in force.
We appeal to each and all of our
professional men, to each and all OF
our business men, to eacn and all OF

II Is no argument to say The lines are
