State brings to US a class of men who
are in position to do a great work
for humanity; the papers they read,
and the talks they made proved that
they are interested in the health of
the people.
The Sunday-School Congress rep
resents every section of the country.
These men and women are here to
study Sunday-school methods. Their
coming will do much to stimulate the
people of this city to new activity.
We extend to the delegates to the
Sunday-Schoo Congress, and the del
egates to the Tennessee Medical AS
ISOLATION and visiting friends a most
hearty welcome.

WHAT WE OWE THE CITY.

1t is easy to find those in every city
who are always prepared to tell you
what the municipality owes them.
1t is true that a city owes a great
deal to all of its citizens, since it is
admitted that all are taxpayers.
This Indebtedness is just because the
citizens the city, and are its sole
support. While it is a fact that the
city owes it's citizens continuously, it
is just as true that every citizen owes
the city something. We pay the
taxes to meet every Indebtedness in
Cured, whether it be for labor or
building of a new street, or a sewer,
the taxpayer must furnish the means
to do it, and it stands for reason that
each citizen owes the city first of
all a careful study of its needs. No
citizen has a RICH. to complain of the
manner in which the officials are con-
Quoting the city's business unless
that individual has given the matter
careful study. Every voter owes his
support on all questions affecting the
welfare of the city. The voters W
1t to the city to keep themselves in
formed as to the approaching cleo
tlons, and to study the issues under
consideration that they may be able
to vote intelligently.
Everything connected with the city
belongs to the citizens, whether it be
public or private property. Each in
diyidual will look after his private
property in a way that suits him,
but sometimes the interest of the
public is overlooked, and when a cit
izen loses sight of the happiness or
convenience of his neighbor the CITY
Is being cheated of it's just due; for
the city is governed by laws made
by the citizens, which makes it obliga-
tory that they keep the law, and
when one fails to do the very best he
can to maintain the reputation of a
city he at once becomes indebted to
that city.
No set of officials can govern a PEG.
pie who will not submit to the laws
they have made to be governed by.
And every citizen owes it to the city
in which he lives to do everything he
can to aid in maintaining the law
and in promoting the welfare of every
other citizen.

COMMUNICATION.
Nations Highest Court.

To the Nashville Globe:
The United States Supreme Court.
the highest tribunal Of the Nation, CO.
existent with the other two
departments or agencies of govern
ment, the Executive and Legislative.
is really the checkrein or safety
valve of the whole governmental ma
chinery. 1t vas the hope of those
who builded the Constitution and it
is the hope of those who love and RELY
on it for just Interpretation of nation
al law as an assurance of the perpe-
tuity of the rights and liberties of
the people.
If this essential department of gov
eminent becomes weak or derelict
in its duty, then all that pertains to
the preservation of the peoples free
dom under the laws of the nation is
practically left without a proper in
terpreter or safeguard. The hone of
every patriotic citizen is anchored in
the integrity of the Supreme Court.
This puissant arm or government
should be impartially thrown around
every citizen. 1t is the greatest iu.
dlclal body on earth (the proud
boast of some), and If this is true.
1t should so act and administer it's
great function.
Recently this mighty Court re-
viewed a case coming up to it in
which its mandate regarding a prison
er in the hands OF a sheriff was
trampled upon with the utmost disre-
gard, the prisoner being taken from
his custody and mobped. The Court
found upon the evidence before it
that the officer was negligent in his
duty and summoned him, with others
whom it held as participants in the
death OF the prisoner, before it for
sentence. They appeared before the
Court, but it failed to pass sentence.
If the facts of negligence Of duty and
participation were established by the
Courts first review of the case. what
means suspension of sentence? Can
1t be that that august body erred
in its examination of the case? Why
did it summon the defendants to ap-
pear before it? Would it have acted
identically in a similar case with a
like number Of colored defendants?
Did justice relent, or were there ex-
tenuatlng facts, other than the color
of the man who was the victim and
that of the accused, overlooked in the
first review? The Negro people of
the country would like to know what
motive or motives actuated the Su-
preme Court of the United States in
reserving sentence in a case where
its decision al rendered upon find
ings threshed from testimony that
could not be distorted.

MOB SITUATION.

When the dispatches from different
sections of the country are put to-
gether and reduced to a final analysis
it is difficult to arrive at a definite
conclusion about the temperament Of
the lawless element that constitute
mobs. One day we are informed that
the governor of the State of Alabama
has ordered a sheriff impeached for
allowing a mob to take a prisoner
from his custody and lynch him. This
action is conceded to be a long step
toward putting a stop to mob vio-
lence, and all lovers of law and order
breathed a sigh of relief. But be-
fore the minds of the people could
become reconciled to the belief that a
better day had dawned the news is
flashed over the wires of a most
heinous crime committed by a few
masked men in Florida and another
in Kentucky. In the former case the
victim had been condemned to die,
and the time set was only a day or so
off, but the members of the mob
seemed to have a craving for human
blood. No other cause can be given
than that of savage beasts seeking
human life. The case cited in Ken
lucky seemed to have been more for
sport than revenge.
Studying the situation from three
angles, we must conclude that the
one point gained in favor of law and
order, coming in one of the extreme
southern states, is evidence that men
of courage are taking an active part
in governmental affairs, and we have
cause to be hopeful for a better day
in u common country-the day
when all mems rights will be respect
ed before the law.

The Georgia Compromise.

~ 0SOISid compromise
The compromise under Federal
pressure of the critical firemen's
strike on the Georgia railroad is cause
for much general satisfaction. The
situation becoming more tense every
day was rapidly approaching a eli
max. Public sentiment among the
cracker whites was becoming in
famed to the point where the en-
pIoyment of Negro iremen in the
future was problematical under any
circumstances. Interference by the
Federal government would have
meant the opening Of the old section
al wound to a degree not approached
since the days of Reconstruction.
The progress of friendly relations be-
tween the races in the South would
have ben retarded many years. From
the standpoint, therefore, of the
larger and present good, the compro-
mise Of the situation is especially ben
eficial to the Negro race. Better still
is the fact that the men will return
to work under the conditions existing
at the time the strike began until the
final adjustment is made.
1t is to be hoped that this tentative
proposal will obtain in the final set
Element. The Federal government as
the directing party to the compromise
cannot compromise on the fundamen.
tai rights of the Negro in the mat

right to work and his employment on
Southern railroads are at stake. II
it be agreed, with the Federal govern
ment consenting, that Negroes will
not hereafter be employed in the ter

The eeorala settlement

The result of the conference rela-
tive to the strike on the Georgia Rail
road has resulted in a partial victory
for both sides, as inconsistent as this
statement may seem. Colored firemen
are still stocking the engines, but their
cases have been sc disposed of that the
indications are that they will finally
be eliminated from the railroads of
the Southland, even as they are 10Y
barred from the railroads in the North
ern State. The only answer that an
intelligent progressive colored man
can give to this peculiar condition Of
affairs is that colored people must
own and operate their own railroads.

Race Optimism.

OHNihiiloiis
Race optimism is right. The pessi-
mist looks on the dark side; the Opt
mist on the bright side. The pessi-
mist gives up; the optimist pushes
on.
AS a race we have a decided right
to be optimistic. The storm clouds
overhead, the thunders of hostility;
the lightning flashes of prejudice
across our pathway; the snares at our
feet; the hindrances in our line of
progress; the prophets Of evil; the
untOWard circumstances and forces
that combine to retard us, these
things are the common lot Of strug-
CLING humanity, aiming to achieve bet
ter things. Just as fire refines gold
and transforms dull iron into highly
tempered and elastic steel, so hard
ships develop the best in mankind,
and raise the standard of character
and, like steel, we may bend to oppo-
sition, but we do not break.-Philadel-
