THE MAN WITH THE HOE

Millets somber "The Man With The Hoe" is one of
the most famous paintings in the world 1t the nsp
ration for Edwin Markhams equally famous poem of the
name, of which verse reads:
Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the world"
There was much more to this than a poets imagina-
ton Recorded agricultural history back 5000
in all that vast of time the hoe has been
the symbol of the farmers physical burdens.
IL has been well said that boys have decided to
leave the farm while hoeng than while doing any other
chore The beating the old fashioned hoe gives the man
who weds it has plagued food producers through the
ages And only in the last century of unparalleled nven
ton aud progress have farmers been able to cultivate
their crops without the hoe.
little less than a hundred years ago a machine
called the sxadde-row walking cultvator devised.
This marked all practical purposes, the modest begin

Seeks Freedom For
Man Who Raped
White Woman

A,'3ms, an illiterate. scored the
idea of an attorney and on the
day of the trial, entered a plea
of guilty as charged. He then
waived a delay of sentence &C
corded him by law and was SEN
fenced by the court to serve 70
years at hard labor in the state
pententiary, the writ charges.
The files in the office OF the
district attorney contains the fol-
lowing record, according to the
application:
"a white man by the name OF
Wiley Griffith, lived with his
wife and three young children on
a farm in Ward Four, Bienvllle
parish. Mrs. Griffith is a feeble
minded woman about 20 years OF
age. and it was discovered that a
good many Negroes were going
to their home and other suspicious
acts were being committed. .
Sheriff Oakley investigated
the matter thoroughly and found
that these Negroes were visiting
the home of Griffith for the pur-
pose of having intercourse with
his wife and all of the Negro de-
PENDANTS, one of which is this
one, admitted the act and they
knew that Mrs. Griffith was a
feeble minded person and unable
to understand the nature of the
act. >,
"Some of the Negroes paid
Griffith So. On one or two occas-
sions he was present in the home
at the time of the act and in an
other room and he encouraged
and solicited the Negroes"
Amedee said the factors neces-
sary for simple rape" are lack
ing and that there has been no
legal evidence introduced to sub;
stantiate the statement that the
alleged victim is feeble minded" i"
At no time, he said, has the
woman been confined in any
mental institution before the trial
or since, and she is presently iv-
ing in Red River parish, and en-
ployed in Shreveport, La.

last week when Atty. Earl J.
Amedee, filed application for a
writ of habeas corpus in the case
of Tennessee Albums, So, one of
six Negro farmers sentenced to
serve 20 years in the state peni-

term.
The application for the writ
was filed in the goth judicial dis
trict and was directed at Reed
Co2art, superintendent of the
penitentiary, and the warden, Sam
Anderson.

lack of funds, he used his own
money "to help secure justice"
for his client.

detained without any justification
of law.
The writ states further that the
defendant was called for arraign-
ment and was informed by the

The World Today

WASHINGTON Rg-We could
all make up our minds better
about the presidential hopefuls If
they'd just have a nice debate,
face-to-face, on television.
For instance, Sen. Robert Taft
and Gen. Dwight Eisenhower in
one debate and some of the would
be Democratic candidates in an
other.
Then, after the Democratic and
Republican conventions in Chicago
each pick a candidate, those two
winners could debate on TV. Not
just once. AS often as necessary.
And none of the TV debates, be-
fore or after the conventions,
would have to be Commute quick
les. Instead, full dress debates,
even if they took hours.
This wouldn't be asking too much
of the men or the networks, If all
the TV time already used by the
candidates individually was laid
end to end it would amount to
many hours anyway.

some politicians may have consid-
cred it disadvantage. particularly
If, being invisible, they just sound
nasal or noisy.
But now that TV stretches across
the country, the presidential hope
fuls have lost their last excuse
except one-for not meeting face
to face where everyone can see
and hear and judge them.
The one excuse: There is still
politics. And If a would-be presi-
dent thinks he can do better for
himself by not risking a public
meeting with the other guy, he
won't risk it.
