Mississippi And School
Segregation Decision

In the past few years many able students and OBJ
have given close and unbiased study of Mis-
sisspp and the South, all of whom have reached the
ndispuabe conclusion that low standards in Mississippi
particularly and those of the rest of the South as Well
the results of the spirit and tradition arising out of
the Hayes Tlden Deal and the "Un-wrtten Compro-
mise" which followed and thus made the Negro Cues
ton the dominant and sometimes the only issue openly
discussed in Mississippi and Southern Politics.
Overlooking the "Hayes-Tiden Deal" as relatively
unimportant in respect to what followed, we move on
to the "Un-written Compromise" which was an agree
ment reached between the representatives of the slave
holding class, still dominant in the South following the
Cv war ana representatives OF northern leadership,
development of the then blooming cotton agriculture of
the South and the right to handle the Negroes in its
way while the North would be given the right the
full development of all other aspects ofhe nations life
and progress.
The more recent and unbiased students of Misss-
sippi and Southern life and conditions point that

ferentias lack of capitol for local and regional develop
ment; lower educational standards lower living stand
ards and all the result of the affects of the
'Unwritten Compromise" especially that part that
gave the South the right to handle the Negro in its own
way.
1t the "Unwritten Compromise" under which
the South allowed to its extra-egaP segrega-
ton laws, dsfranchse its Negro citizens and subdue
them into submission by Ku klux terror night riders
It is still the "Un-writen Compromise" that forces
the Mississippi delegation in the Congress of the United
states with the Negro question nennd the at the state
level to give their time and talents TO preventing the
passage of civil rights legislation while the represent
atives from the North and other sections by using the
Negro threat continue to get than their fair share
OF the wealth and progress of the Nation
1t is of the great tragedies of the South that so
few otherwise well informed Southern people, both
white and Negro know little about the "Unwrtten
Compromise and it's monstrous i'll effect the develop
lment of Southern life and progress.
Up in Washington the other day. the United States
Supreme Court by unanimous decision declared uncon-
sttutonal one of the extraegal results of the I'm
the races IN the public schools.
Before reaching final conclusion in regard to
the action of the United States Supreme Court amid the
cries long heard in expoundng the Negro Question:
from the political rOstrum in Mississippi, that the
abolition of racial segregation will bring miscegna
ton congomeration of the and ntermarrage we
would point out that this too is disputed by modern
students of and relations who point with
ndisputabe truth and logic that in the South and in
the Union of South Africa where racial segregation was
proItcted ny law, leTe mas Deen more mlScegnatlOn
experimentation and what have YOU to dscoor the purity
Of the White Race than would have happened if the peo
pie Of both races had lived together equally free in
nOnsegregated community.
There is no political argument to dispute the force
of the ethnc Influence and its operation among people of
the racial strains opposed to that of segregation
by law
AS respects the Negro Citizens of Mississippi we
say again that if equal school, both in curricuar and
surroundings is provided in the Negro communities &C
cording to the already existing residential patterns
there is not going to be mad rush Of Negro parents
to send their children to so-caed White Schools just to
have their children going to school with White Folks
In final conclusion, would point out that the
decision of the United States Supreme Court in the
School Segregation marks the beginning that will
tear down the effects Of the "Unwrtten Compromise"
on the Mississippi delegation in Congress and in the
state, bringing future in which Mississippi politicians
need longer master the Negro Question" but work
for the good Of all the people of the state in the light
of which, the Supreme Court decision one of the best
things that could have happened for the future of Mis-
sissipp and its people.

This is the exact situation
that we have been calling to
the attention Of the Governor
and the Legislative body for
quite some time. We have
tried from time to time to
explain that the Judge of the
Police Court cannot, in justice
to everyone in the community,
engage in private practice
while being called upon to
render impartial decisions.
Sooner or later a clear cut
situation such as the before
mentioned had to happen.
WI cannot refrain from
placing the blame where it
rightfully belongs and that
is at the door of Government
House. The Municipal Coun-
Gil on two occasions passed
legislation that would have
corrected this practice but the
Governor favored what really
in fact is the selling Of influ-
, 1954-03-23
ence by the Judge and vetoed
both bills.

At first the argument Of in.
sufficient salary was used for
the veto. The Council sought
to increase the salary and
pass the bill over the Cover
nor's veto. The bill was again
vetoed for the reason that the
island was too small to res
trict the practice of the Police
Court Judge.
We are now calling upon the.
Judge of the District Court,
The Bar Association and the
Governor to see that situa-
ton such as this be stopped.
Each and every member Of
the community must feel Sc
cure in obtaining justice from
the court without the presid-
ing official resorting to init
midation and threats to salts
fy his personal aims or to inn
press the audience with pre-
sumably Importance,
Officials who have wide
power must be careful not to
abuse it. The treatment that.
some humble citizens and
strangers receive in the Police
Court is something that this
community should no longer
tolerate. We believe in fair
ness for everybody and the
Police Court should not pro-
woke unfortunate citizens in
to disrespecting the court be-
cause he can take advantage
of the situation. We are cogni-
zant Of the good that the pre-
sent Police Court Judge has
accomplished but this seems
to have given him the impress
sion that he can now do as he
pleases. The time has come
when this reckless use of po-
wer should be stopped.

who sought court action to
evict a person who had been
living in his house long after
a contractual agreement
after a contractual agreement
had expired and compensa-
ton for the use of property
was overdue. The Judge of
the Police Court, who also is
attorney for the defendant,
ordered the plaintiff out of his
court in the midst Of the case.
The plaintiff had no other re-
course but to file with the
