Question

Does anyone have the exact words to Mr.Underwood's editorial from To Kill A Mockingbird?

Answer 1

yes, someone does.

Answer 2

Scout doesn't give the exact words.  The editorial comes out after Tom is killed trying to escape from prison.  Scout says,

"There was a brief obituary in the Colored News, but there was also an editorial.

       "Mr. B. B. Underwood was at his most bitter, and he couldn't have cared less who canceled advertising and subscriptions.  (But Maycomb didn't play that way; Mr. Underwood could holler till he sweated and write whatever he wanted to, he'd still get his advertising and subscriptions.  If he wanted to make a fool of himself in his paper that was his business.)  Mr. Underwood didn't talk about miscarriages of justice, he was writing so children could understand.  Mr. Underwood simply figured it was a sin to kill cripples, be they standing, sitting, or escaping.  He likened Tom's death to the senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters and children, and Maycomb thought he was trying to write an editorial poetical enough to be reprinted in The Montgomery Advertiser.

      "How could this be so, I wondered, as I read Mr. Underwood's editorial.  Senseless killing--Tom had been given due process of law to the day of his death; he had been tried openly and convicted by twelve good men and true; my father had fought for him all the way.  Then Mr. Underwood's meaning became clear:  Atticus had used every tool available to free men to save Tom Robinson, but in the secret courts of men's hearts Atticus had no case.  Tom was a dead man the minute Mayella Ewell opened her mouth and screamed."

Answer 3

It's in Chapter 25 of the book.

I can't locate a place to download the book/chapter?  I did find this:

Underwood wrote: “...was a sin to kill cripples, be they standing, sitting or escaping. He likened Tom's death to the senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters and chidren...”
