 The little band of rabid Southerners in the halls of Con- gress are the most vociferous. They yell loudest when any thing threatens the Southern custom. They yell loudest, also, when there is nothing to yell about. This system is allowed to exist because of one simple fact; the Negro does not make his representatives in Congress conscious of his desires. No one will show more of an interest in you than you show yourself. To expect otherwise is pure folly. Equality will not be handed out on a silver platter. Nothing of value was ever gained without a struggle.

MAIN STREET BUS SERVICE ATROCIOUS

just a matter of course.
 One of two things happens every morning. Either the few buses are so loaded that they must pass stops and leave peo- pie waiting, or the few that there are travel in packs.
 We know that there has been a shortage in rolling stock and that some of it still exists but we also know that there is not too much interest about proper transportation in the North End. And we also have the feeling that no such condition would happen on Asylum or Pennington Avenues.
 It might be we'll if the Bus Company recognized the fact that the people in the North End are not just taking joy rides in the early morning but they are actually going to work. And for the company to assist in getting them there on time, is likewise doing a service to businesses and homes in the city. Could we please get a little attention?

Our System of Jurisprudence

The refusal of a Federal grand jury in Georgia to indict anyone for the lynching of two men and their wives several months ago, focuses the spot light on the inadequacies of our system of justice in areas which are steeped in bigotry and have a strong feeling of prejudice. Why did the grand jury refuse to indict? That will probably never be known. The FBI worked on the case for several months and presented what 1t thought was sufficient evidence for an indictment. The grand jury, being townspeople and neighbors of the lynchers, thought otherwise. The Fed eral judge subtlety expressed

Occasionally as we pass the Tunnel on @ Connecticut Com pany Bus, we note an employee of the company busy making pencil notes on some kind of form sheet. And everytime that we have made such an observa- tion, we have wondered if the Company makes these tabula- tions for the ultimate compila- tion of Crossword puzzles or whether they are interested in the regularity of the schedule, the number of people using the bus and their comfort.
 We would assume that some of the latter factors are the ba- sis of such efforts only we do not think that this is true for bus service going out Main or Barbour Streets.
 This could not possible be so, if one has to judge by the ser vice. Between seven and eight in the morning, the inadequate number of buses running in- town on these lines are so crowded, that being late for work out of the North End is
