See how great a thing it is to be civilized.
We shouldn’t be surprised if the sun had lots of amusement watching us fools down here.
Boom!!!
The Dismissal of Those Negro Troops.
What else could the President have done?
He is Commander-in-Chief of the Army: certain members of a certain battalion “shoot up” a certain town destroying property, terrorizing a peaceful community and committing murder.
The Commander-in-Chief endeavors to discover the identity of the guilty parties. He fails. He then appeals to the honor of the battalion, asking that the innocent point out the guilty. By no other method can the red-handed rioters and murderers be identified and brought to Justice.
The battalion is deaf to the appeal.
The innocent refuse to point out the guilty.
