Whether or not these boys are guilty of raping two white girls found on the same train with them, a trial in which a Southern "house-swapping day, mob" plays the coercive part, should not decide their life or death.

Like his good friend Ulysses Simpson Grant a failure in civil life. William Tecumseh Sherman thrived on civil war. Like the old soldier in the song, he "simply faded away" (it took him 25 years) into the most sought-after speaker and diner-out of his generation...
...multiple aspect-biological, ecological, argricutural, political, economic, legislative, administrative. Nearly everyone agreed when rotund, bright-eyed Major Littleton Waller Taswall Waller Jr. of Meadowbrook, Pa., son of the soldier who rescued Herbert Hoover & wife in the Boxer Uprising, declared, "Lack of educated man power is the only thing wrong with game conservation." Major Waller was applauded for a three-point program: 1) Let farmers be encouraged to raise game as a standard crop. 2) Let game scientists research widely. 3) Let there be educated an army of game managers...
