WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY

Miss New Jersey, make the &C
ouaintance Of Mr.. Jim Crow. Mr..
Crow has just come up from the
south, where he is we'll known as
frst-rate go-getter of trouble. Mr..
Crow delivers the goods, any day, any
way; hanging, a burning at the
stake, a tar-and-feathering if you have
weak heart and don't want too much
excitement at once. Mr.. Crow will do
for you what he has already so abund-
antly shown himself able to do for
Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana, and other sections
Of our great commonwealth. You are
on the right track with Mr.. Grow;
keep Negro children out Of the white,
Nordic, all-American high school;
make them go to school in a church,
unheated except by stove, and with
one teacher for all the grades. What
matter that white children have a fine,
big, steam-heated high school build
ing? What matter that Negro tax
payers want to send their children to
the same bui1ding-not just the same
sort Of building? Mr.. Crow, Mr..
James Crow Of Washington and points
south, is just the man to settle every
thing right Delegates Of Negro
Parents will protest to you, Miss New
Jersey, the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People
will send kilograms asking that Cover
nor Moore remove Edgar M. Fink
from his post Of Supervising Principal
Of Education because he introduced
policy Of segregation for Negro high
school children in Toms River. But
don't you care; you just stick to Mr..
jim Crow. He's the man to keep
things humming in New Jersey"
Although school segregation, such
as has just been introduced in south
ern New Jersey, has not yet been
tested in the higher courts, the Su-
preme Court Of the United States in
q unanimous decision has just re-
affirmed the unconstitutionality of an
other type of "Jirn Crow law. We
nave already commented upon its out
lawing of the Texas statute which
barred Negroes from voting in the
Democratic primaries; now New Or
leans ordinance and two laws of Lou
isiana imposing restrictions on the
owning or leasing Of property by Ne
grOes have been put under the same
ban as the old Louisville at
'enpts at segregation. Slowly but
surely the arm Of the law is reach
ing around the Negro to assure him
MS ordinary civil rights. In time dis

"Slide, Kelly, Slide!"

Good Dean Kelley Miller finds him
self caught between third base and the
home plate, with "Jim" Johnson, OF
N. A. "A. G. P. fame, harassing him
with the journalistic baseball-all be-
cause the alert Dean was not alert
when a sizzling segregation grounder
was cut off by rapid field work, caus-
ing Kelly to pause in his endeavor to
make home run in the March issue
Of Current History"
Just now, Kelly is trying to explain
his predicament to the heetine
''bleachers" who, like the usual tickle
minded baseball audience, are loudly
voicing their displeasure.
All of which proves that man may
devote a lifetime's effort to sincere
service; and then, with the slip of a
verb, one or two propositions, and q
few misplaced commas, draw the ire
Of a forgetful populace, which with
one back-handed stroke strives to wipe
out the helpful results of a quarter
century's ardent work.
Critics of Dean Milier's viewpoint
upon Segregation, before consigning
him to Limbo in the press and else
where, should take into consideration
the good Deans past efforts to slim
ulate a greater freedom for our people.
It was Dean Miller who made the first
curt replication to Rev. Thomas Dixon
in his initial libel ("The Leopard's
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1927-04-02

there is judicial reform, there can be
no lasting progress and development
in the republic. Does not our own
American republic enjoy lasting prog
ress and development, regardless of
its need for judicial reform in cases

some Americans see only the faults in
others and are blind to their own.

Spots") of the race. 1t has been Dean
Miller who, time and time again, wher
others were steaming up their nerves
to protect the race aaginst onslaught
and ignominy, marched boldly to the
front lines, and fired broadside after
broadside in defense of the race and
repulsion of its enemies.
1t was Dean Miller who wrote an
open letter of protest to President
Wilson, when racial rights ebbed SO
low in America.
But now, that the Deans pen
slipped line or two and he is man
fully explaining what he meant within
his heart, the critics are riding him
with boots and spurs, and seemingly
permanent forgetfulness of the good
service he has rendered.
Does anyone really believe within
the heart that a man who has served
his race and its cause as faithfully as
Kelly has, could believe in Segrega-
ton? We do not.
We would apply to Dean Miller the
humble philosophy of the lamented
Lincoln, and Of him say, in substance
and effect: what he is speaks louder
than what he says"
