Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 8, II,
A RIGHTEOUS DECISION.

Last Monday Justice Day of The
United States Supreme Court read
the opinion OF that august tribunal Oh
the Louisville Segregation case. The
decision of the court is q righteous
one. 1t gives to the Negro that
which was already his by divine
right. This decision will tend to stop
the Negro batting which has been so
prevalent in certain cities of the
United States, and which once
threatened Nashville There never
has been any good cause, save hatred
and prejudice, for the passage of Sc
sregation laws, Such laws are alway
the children Of the brain of those
who haven't the ability the talent, or
the energy to get into the limelight
by honorable means, they have to
drag the Negro in, to stir up latent
prejudice in order to attract atten-
ton TO themselves and get them
selves noticed All law-abiding Ne
groes know that the authors and
abettors of segregation laws make
Jordan hard road to travel for the
black man.
The Negro has at all times been
subservient to the laws of both state
and nation, but notwithstanding this
he is the worst prosecuted, maligned,
brow-beaten than any other race on
the American soil. He often erie :
aloud in his desperation and distress,
Is there no balm of Gilead?' Is
there no peace? No justice? And
he is sometimes tempted to ask, is
there a God? Maybe, this discision
means that a brighter day for the
Negro is not far distant, and ;hat
every day will be Sunday by ana
by"
Let US hope so. Let Us also nope
that man handling by petty officials
ana kindred evils will cease. Let the
Negro have fair play That is all he
asks. Let him alone as lon? as he
Obeys the laws of God and man. Give
him chance. to live and to own
property unmoIested by scheminS pol
iticians.
The Negro is here to stay. tie Is
loyal to the stars and stripes, and is
willing to shed his blood that the
world may be made safe for democ
racy. He is willing to do all that can
be done to incur the good will of the
regnant race, and all he asks IN re
turn is to be protected in his Lawful,
rights.
Yes, We rejoice in the decision OF
the Supreme Court. 1t is far reach
ing. 1t means justice and equality
before the law. That is all the black
man asks. no more, no less.
Now let us all sing
Praise God from Whom All Blessings

The National Baptist Publishing
Board of Nashville. Tenn, has just
had l64 of the old Plantation Melo-
dies collected, set to music and COM
piled in book form at an enormous
cost, known as Jubilee Melodies
These songs can now he sung
or played on organs, pianos, comets
or violinS They do not represent
any religious UNCONVENTIONAL dogma
nor any sect of religion, but both the
words and the music are the religious
expressions of dOwntrodden,
oppressed, enslaved religious peo-
pie, who serve two hundred and
fifty years in American slavery. They
were composed and sung in the toboc-
co patches of Virginia, the rice
swampS of Georgia and South Caro-
lima, on the cotton farms of Alabama
and Mississippi and the cane fields of
Louisiana. Though illiterate and
uneducated, they composed and sang
these rythms and melodies as the
longing of their religious souls for
liberty.
