When do you intend to begin ap-

Are you going on forever saying

good Americans and, at the same

PEELED to live? Are you going on

kind to your neighbors, and yet
forever do your part to hinder the
expression of that kindness in ex-
tending to Negroes equal oppor-

There are people who will
readily admit the truth of the
Christian principle that all
men, without any exceptions
whatever, are created in the
image of God, and the demo-
cratic principle that "all men are
created equal, that they are en-
dowed by their Creator with GER
tain inalienable rights" But quite
as often as not, in applying these
principles to specific situations,
these same people urge the kind of
caution which amounts to refusing
to apply these principles at all.
They know, as indeed we all do,
that the miserable novels in which
Negroes live, the discrimination
against Negroes in public places
and in employment, the lack of
health and educational opportuni-
ties for them, and the blatant man
ner in which they are prevented
from voting in some parts of this
country are, at every single point,
denials of the Christian doctrine of
man made in Gods image, and the
democratic principle of equal rights.
If you believe what Christianity
and democracy say about man, you
do not treat Negroes, or anyone
else, that way.
So, since principles were given to

to thank you for extending your
congratulations on my birthday.
I also want to pass on to you
the feelings of the men in my

We all like the papers aggressive
attitude toward the racial issues
that are constantly presenting
themselves.
Evidence that the fight for racial
economical security is being carried
on is much more important than all
the pin-up pictures and morale
building fiattery in the world.
AS Negro soldiers, we like the
way you fight, and I really enjoy
your thorough coverage of Twin

GarQner CalIS i
By DAN GARDNER

The Jim Grow Train is
among the foremost of the
vicious evils practiced against
colored Americans. Jim Grow
transportation hurts us more
than the POLL tax. The colored
American feels more keenly the eff
fects of Jim Crow railway travel
than he does public bans against in
termarriage, prime among the
cardinal sins in the eyes of the
white man. In story and in song
the Jim Crow Train has been the
barometer at gauging the tempera-
ture of the Negro minority.
Aside from the ignominy of being
victims of the practice, Negroes
who ride the Jim Crow Train also
suffer major discomfort. They are
herded like cattle into dirty, ill
kept, outmoded coaches tagged on
behind the coal car. In the heat of
the southern summer they get thick
coats of smoke streaming in from
the open windows; their eyes, their
hair, their clothing are filled with
hundreds of flying particles of
cinders. They are forced in many
instances to sit. in the aisles on
their luggage; to eat standing up;
to sleep in every conceivable kind
of incongruous position. Yet, they
pay the same fare as the white
passenger in the cars behind who
ride in relative comfort, clean
illness and are not packed like
pigs in pen.
What Jim Crow Train Means
Yes, the whistle of the Jim Grow
train screams throughout the track
less expanses of the broad south.
It screams its message of intoler-
ance, of greed, hatred and derision
and millions of people hear it and
pray for the day when the Jim
Crow Train is derailed and cannot
be set Alright again. And with the
Jim Crow Train, it's defiant whistle,
goes the tobacco-chewing, redneck
conductor who arrogantly walks
through the Jim Grow Train bark
ing his orders to those whose
money is divided 'FNegro money,
and Negro fares" With the Jim
