bases the people, is the prolific source of
crime and pauperism, and costs the country
| annually thousand times more than the
| revenue received therefrom. / deny the JUS

statute book legalize that which promotes
crime and makes criminals, and on the next
provide severe penalties to be administered to
those they have tempted to transgress. This
little volume is presented to the public to
promulgate these views"
