The "Jim Crow" Car Problem

To the Editor, The washInrtou Herald:
Because of the continued jus,
complaints on the part of the col
ored race against the Jim Crow
cars. which were set apart for the
race, l beg space to suggest TO the
race way to get better treatment
along that line. without making
fur fruitless fights in the State leg
islatures and in Congress.
There is a way the colored
people may get out without further
embarrassment to their good white
friends. Let the colored people put
their money together and buy rail-
road coaches, just like the Pullman
Car Company, and private family
cars. The railroad companies are
in the business for the money; and
certainly they would gladly open
this field of earnest endeavor for
the loyal, patriotic colored citizens
Of this great republic. As unjust as
IL seems, and is. ] sometimes think
that the Jim Growing and discrimi-
nation against the colored race are
but the gates through which il may
enter into business, so that the
world may get a clearer view Of its
diligence and thrift.
No sensible colored men and wo-
men care a rap for riding in rail-
road cars with the whites. But what
they want and are contending for is
decent accommodation for the first
class fare they must pay. But see
ing they are denied a frst-class ac-
commodation, when they pay first
class fare, why further whine and
beg and make fruitless complaints?
Because of discrimination against
them. the colored people have built
theaters. halls and other places OF
their own, where they may go and
enjoy themselves under their own
vine and fig tree. Now. why can't
they get together and form COM
psny. and do il at once. and buy
first-class railroad coaches and place
them on the roads throughout the
South?

Is THE PINEAPPLE

Did the hawaiian pineapple orig
mate in Hawaii: That question
has been puzIling the National

and they have dug UP some facts
about that fruit.
There are many reasons for the
assumption thar the pineapple. now
synonymous with Hawaii, did not
originally have its home in the
Hawaiian archipelago, despite many
contentious to tle contrary" thky
say. None of tae early voyagers
mention pineapples. although they
do speak Of all the other fru1
growing in Hawaii at the time or
their visits. Just where the pine
apples which reached Hawaii came
from seems to be a mystery"
The Hawaiian WORD for pineapple
is halakahiki. a compound OF hsls.
the name of the screv-pine or Pan
dsnus. and Of kahiki. the Hawaiian
equivalent for a foreign land. This
furnishes reasonable grounds for
the assumption that the pinespples
are nOn-indigeous plsnts. The fact
is. however. that practically the
same variety as the Kons pineapple
is found in Samoa, Fiji and Though
out Polynesia, and they might
have been brought to HAWAII by
some OF the natives on their prAh bis
