Lucky jim Crow
By Algernon b. jackson, NJ. ID.
IAN1DA

By Algernon d. jackson, NJ. ID.
tANPD
| think we are all in accord that
the Jim Crow hysteria so prevalent
in the United States is according to
our national ethical standards. thor
ougly American, Christian and right
eous.
True. at times and in places 1t is
bit inconvenient and possibly en-
barrassing, but inasmuch as nobody
but Jim and James are the victims,
nobody particularly cares how it
hurts when he realizes to whom that
pain is limited. But once in blue
moon Jim Crow gives us a break,
and we set it down among the rec
ords.
Some weeks ago Jim Crow saved
the lives of several colored persons
and killed several whites. It was this
way. On the road from Richmond
to Washington Jim Crow separates
the races on the buses. The majesty
! CD of the law permits the whites to
ride In front and demands that the
colored ride in the rear. Running at
about fifty miles per hour one of
| these buses crashed into a truck
and smashed up. Several whites rid
/ ing in front were instantly killed. All
the colored riding in the rear got
out of the affair without scratch.
Lucky Jim Crowi
As these whites who were killed
walk the gold-paved streets of Heav-
en- today, l wonder whether they are
trying to get some sort of message
back to the law makers of America
asking that this law be changed at
least that phase of 1t which forces
Negroes to ride in the rear--in SAT
ETY.. Why. certainly, everybody knows
they ought to ride in front and in
case of accident be killed instead of
white folks.

is attractive. Back into fashion this
year comes Alaska sealskin. This is
