tihcation in contesting the discrimi-
nation as the other.
''The case before the Interstate
Commerce Commission, which result
ed in the decision upholding the "jim
Grow" car law. was brought by GeOr-
gia Edwards. a colored woman, a.
gainst the Nashville, Chattanooga
and St. Louis Railway. She invok-
ed the provisions of the rate bin inn
mediately after its passage by Con-
gress, and it was generally under
stood that she was acting FOR many
prominent colored people in the
South and North.
"Her first move was 20 purchase a
ticket emitting her TO hrst-class pas
sage from Chattanooga, Tenn. 20 Dial
ton. Ga. She entered the car as
signed to white passengers. and was
promptly removed therefrom 60 the
car assigned TO the colOred people.
Through her attorney, she fled a
complaint attacking the law and al
leging discrimination in the facilities
furnished TO her as against those
provided for white passengers. q
The commission heard arguments
on The case. and while Affirming the
validity of the law, found the COM
plaiut as 70 inferior accommodations
well founded and ordered the rail-
road TO provide equal facilities for
colored passengers.
According to this dictum. states
that have passed Jim crow laws
can discriminate against colored pas
sengers and states that have not
passed "jim crow" laws can discrim-
mate against them, providing the
railroad companies are willing 90 as
sumo responsibility for the job. The
Interstate Commerce Commission
solemnly declares that this is in ac-
cordance with the ruling of the SUI
preme Court of the United States.
II viii be seen that racial separation

from Maryland to California.
The "crumb OF comfort" given is
that the accommodat0ns must DE O.
quail. and it has been explained That
equal does not mean the same or
just alike. It has been variously
described that the Negroes accommo-
cations must De "just as good" and
as a rule the railroad company and
it's attorneys are permitted 90 pass
upon this phase of the question.
it is plainly evident that our APP
peal must DE made TO public senti-
ment and not to the courts. Their
attitude relative TO our rights I'm this
country are as yet hostile Any rule
or regulation. law or statute that
permits q common carrier TO discrim
mate against any citizen, white or
black on account Of his race IS tyr
anical and oppressive.
Traced TO its logical conclusion.
no hotel has q right TO refuse to re-
ceive colorcd patrons and the accom-
modotons must be equal although
separate. We now have q national

gated 10y the Interstate Commerce
Commission. There is nothing left
20 do but 20 continue 20 agitate. even
though we obey the provisions of
this new construction OF the law.

We hope that the report is true. but
whether it is or not, we feel safe in
saying that the colored people of
this country north and south are not
ready TO submit to the disgrace of
their soldiery and the denominating

These men must be proven guilty
and there is no provision in the laws
of this republic where they are re-
quired TO prove themselves innocent.
The report states that there are in
timauons that the President was adj
vised by DR.. Booker #. Washington
that the resentment of the colored
people was confined TO the Negro
politicians. We cannot understand
how DR.. Washington could have made
such a blunder.
We intend 20 presume that he did
not say # until IL is proven that he
did say it. The feeling against Pres
ident Roosevelt on account of this
Brownsville affair extends from the
colored rag-pic1er on the dump to
the colored president in the financial
institutions of the race. The feeling
is universal and the colored poliu-
clan who would justify or condone
the Chief Executives action in this
particular might as well have his
