United States Supreme Court
349 U.S. 81
Bell v. United States
Argued: April 21, 1955. --- Decided: May 9, 1955
Mr. Justice MINTON, with whom THE CHIEF JUSTICE and Mr. Justice REED join, dissenting.
The statute does not seem ambiguous to me. Congress made it clear enough for me to understand that it was trying to help the States as far as it could to stamp out the degradation and debauchery of women by punishing those who engaged in using them for prostitution. The only way Congress could do that was to make it unlawful to use the channels of commerce to transport them. The statute provides that,
'Whoever knowingly transports in interstate * * * commerce * * * any woman or girl for the purpose of prostitution. * * *
'Shall be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.'
To me the statute means that to transport one or more women or girls in commerce constitutes a separate offense as to each one. Congress had as its purpose the protection of the individual woman or girl from exploitation, and the transportation of each female was to be punished. It was not concerned with protection of the means of transportation. Surely it did not intend to make it easier if one transported females by the bus load. A construction of the statute that reaches that result does violence to its plain wording. That is what the District Court thought, that is what the Court of Appeals thought, and with that I agree, and would affirm.

# Bell v. Railroad Company/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
71 U.S. 598
Bell v. Railroad Company
It is not necessary to consider the terms of the compromise as a basis of recovery; for it is very clear that a municipal corporation like the board of police could not modify or alter the stock subscription voted by the people, in the absence of power from the legislature, and as there is no pretence that this was conferred, it follows that the agreement made with the railroad company was without authority of law, and void. But the company did not rest their right to recover on this agreement, and the court expressly charged the jury that no effect could be given to it.
There is, however, aside from this agreement or compromise, a substantial ground-relied on by the court below, and sustained by the evidence-on which the judgment in this case can be supported. If the County of Pontotoc, according to the requirements of the law, voted a subscription to the stock of the railroad; the board of police levied a tax to pay for it; the tax was collected; and the president of the board instructed Bell, who was the sheriff, and had the money, to pay it to the agent of the company, who also demanded payment, then the liability of Bell is fixed, and he cannot be allowed to interpose collateral matters by way of defence. The money in the hands of Bell vested in the railroad corporation so soon as the president of the board of police drew the order, and, on presentation, he was obliged to pay. His duty was obedience. It was no part of his business to sit in judgment on the proceedings of the board of police, nor was he at liberty to constitute himself an arbiter to settle the differences that had arisen, or might arise, between the county, the tax-payers, and the company, growing out of the vote to subscribe stock, and the refusal to make the subscription.
So far as Bell was concerned, the board of police had the exclusive power over this subject; and if in the exercise of that power the president of the board directed him to pay the money to the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, he could not question the authority nor review the decision. And the omission to give the bond, as by law required, cannot affect his liability, although it may lessen the security of the company.
There is great confusion in the record in relation to the disposition of the demurrers and pleas in abatement; but, as Bell filed a plea to the merits, and the parties went to trial, all antecedent irregularities were waived.
There is no error in the record, and the judgment below is
AFFIRMED WITH COSTS.

# Beast and Man in India (headings)

* information about this edition.
* sister projects: Wikidata item.
Written for John Lockwood Kipling's "Beast and Man in India" (1891).
They killed a Child to please the Gods In Earth's young penitence, And I have bled in that Babe's stead Because of innocence.
I bear the sins of sinful men That have no sin of my own, They drive me forth to Heaven's wrath Unpastured and alone.
I am the meat of sacrifice,
The ransom of man's guilt, For they give my life to the altar-knife Wherever shrine is built. The Goat.
Between the waving tufts of jungle-grass, Up from the river as the twilight falls, Across the dust-beclouded plain they pass On to the village walls.
Great is the sword and mighty is the pen, But over all the labouring ploughman's blade-- For on its oxen and its husbandmen An Empire's strength is laid. The Oxen.
The torn boughs trailing o'er the tusks aslant, The saplings reeling in the path he trod, Declare his might--our lord the Elephant,
Chief of the ways of God.
The black bulk heaving where the oxen pant, The bowed head toiling where the guns careen, Declare our might--our slave the Elephant, And servant of the Queen. The Elephant.
Dark children of the mere and marsh, Wallow and waste and lea, Outcaste they wait at the village gate With folk of low degree.
Their pasture is in no man's land, Their food the cattle's scorn; Their rest is mire and their desire The thicket and the thorn.
But woe to those that break their sleep, And woe to those that dare To rouse the herd-bull from his keep, The wild boar from his lair! Pigs and Buffaloes.
The beasts are very wise, Their mouths are clean of lies, They talk one to the other, Bullock to bullock's brother Resting after their labours, Each in stall with his neighbours. But man with goad and whip, Breaks up their fellowship, Shouts in their silky ears Filling their soul with fears. When he has ploughed the land, He says: "They understand." But the beasts in stall together, Freed from the yoke and tether, Say as the torn flanks smoke: "Nay, 'twas the whip that spoke."

# Bethel School District No. 403 v. Fraser/Dissent Marshall

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
* Concurring Opinion Brennan
* Dissenting Opinions Marshall Stevens
Justice MARSHALL, dissenting.
I agree with the principles that Justice BRENNAN sets out in his opinion concurring in the judgment. I dissent from the Court's decision, however, because in my view the School District failed to demonstrate that respondent's remarks were indeed disruptive. The District Court and Court of Appeals conscientiously applied Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School Dist., 393 U.S. 503, 89 S.Ct. 733, 21 L.Ed.2d 731 (1969), and concluded that the School District had not demonstrated any disruption of the educational process. I recognize that the school administration must be given wide latitude to determine what forms of conduct are inconsistent with the school's educational mission; nevertheless, where speech is involved, we may not unquestioningly accept a teacher's or administrator's assertion that certain pure speech interfered with education. Here the School District, despite a clear opportunity to do so, failed to bring in evidence sufficient to convince either of the two lower courts that education at Bethel School was disrupted by respondent's speech. I therefore see no reason to disturb the Court of Appeals' judgment.

United States Supreme Court
77 U.S. 537
Bethell v. Demaret
There was no Federal question presented to the court below by the plaintiff in error, so far as appears from the record. There is no statute of a State in question here.
But it is insisted that there was an authority under the State of Louisiana exercised in the case drawn in question, and which was repugnant to the Constitution, and the decision in favor of its validity, and that is, the Supreme Court of the State were acting under the authority of the State at the time its decision was rendered.
There are two answers to this ground: 1st. That the authority conferred on a court to hear and determine cases in a State, is not the kind of authority referred to in the 25th section, otherwise every judgment of the Supreme Court of a State would be re-examinable under the section; and 2d. The decision of the court was not repugnant to the Constitution. It simply held that the promissory notes, together with the mortgage in question, were nullities, on the ground that the 'Confederate currency,' which constituted the consideration, was illegal according to the law of the State at the time the contract was entered into.
As no Federal question appears in the record the motion to dismiss must be
GRANTED.

# Bible (Berean Standard)/Tiered Translation Structure

Tiered Translation Structure
The Berean Study Bible is the modern English translation tier of the Berean Bible. The four tiers are as follows:
* An interlinear Bible to directly follow the Greek and Hebrew texts.
* A literal translation to take the reader to the core of the Greek and Hebrew meanings.
* A modern English translation, effective for public reading, memorization, and evangelism.
* An emphasized translation to bring out the full meaning and intensity of the original texts.
All sources are linked through to the original source, making the multi-tiered translation process transparent. The translation databases and lexical information are freely available at the Berean Bible websites. Thus the translation process can be followed even by those without extensive training in Greek and Hebrew.
The translation tiers also provide study support by enhancing the expression of meaning on multiple levels. Since languages often do not translate in a one-to-one fashion, the multiple tiers facilitate a fuller translation that is able to contain both “word for word” and “thought for thought” renderings.
