Concerning the Constitutional Effort
Toward the Emancipation
of YOUTH

I'm fer tn Constytushnle Con-
venshun or fer that part of it which
is a tryin' to Emancypate tn Youths
of this here Land frum tn Grindm'
Heel of Laber. But they is some
| Tyrance in tn Convenshun, tn Tools
of tn Copperashuns an tn Weepins
of Speshle Privilege which is atryin'
to keep tn Boys an Girls of Arizony
in Throldom.
But l don't think they is goin' to
SuXeed. / b'leeve at Mister Feeny
an Mister Connolly an Mister Bolan
an tn others which is tn Champions
of us Heaps of the Future is agoin'
| to Prevail an we're agoin' to be
Saved frum tn Tirrany of Toll until
we gifts to be Is Yeers old an at
then some other Champeens'll Arise
an give us a Repreeve till we're Is
or 20 an at they'll be other Cham
poems frum Time to Time as they
is Needed SOS we won't haf to work
none till were 100 Yeers Old when
Wen be Good an Seasoned an won't
mind it none.
It's Contrary to all Morle an FiZ-
zologicle Roofs to set Boy or Girl
at work too Early. They orient to
hat to do nothin' till they Matoors
an it ort to be left to them to say
when they is MatoOred.
! Our Champeens has got all tn Fax
an tn Argumence on their side. TIL
| others which wants TO Keep us in
Bondidge hasn't got nothin' but
Theories.
| jist Read in a paper tn other
day about a woman named Jane
Simmons which died some where's in
Moo York at tn age of 6S of BrOn-
kits an tn Ottopsy showed at her
Fatle Illness could be traced back to
tn Exposure to which she was Sub
jecked by Washin Dishes before she
was Fifteen.
Anuther Tradigy at | read about
in tn same paper was tn Death of
man which fell off of tn, Top of
10 Story Struckcher an tn Axident
was Attribyted to Nervousness. 1t
was showed at tn Post Mortem In
vestygashun at his Nervous System
had been Shattered by his bein' Com
PEELED to Carry in Wood an Sweep
tn Snow off tn Side Wox in frunt
of his Parence Home at tn Tender
Age of IA Yeers an SIX Munths.
TIL papers is filled with Accounts
| of these here Human Recks which
was Victims of PrematoOr Endevir
an Muscular Exercise.
In tn face of all these here Fax
don't see how them Tools of tn
Truss like Judge Baker an Mister
Orme an Doctor Moore an sevrele
others has tn Hart toewant to Keep
up the Barbarious Practis of Sacker
fizin' Children to tn Grim Molock of
Toll.
They's anuther move which our
Champions was tryin' to make fer
tn Alleviashun of tn Children of
Arizony which has Temporarily failed
through tn efforts of Mister Franklin
which is in tn Convenshun as a
Agent of tn Speshle Intrusts. II had
been proposed by our Champeens at
when we was sent to Jail we should
be KEEP among tn Refinin' InflOonces
of Ourselfs SOS at we wuddent be
Contaminated by COntack with tn
More Hardened Criminles. We was
to have Comfortable Quarters an it
was Purvided at everything should
be Homelike.
Mister Franklin he Butts in an
Amens tn Bill SOS at we can be
Torn frum our Pleasant Surroundins
in tn jill an sent to tn Reform
Skool where they is nothin' but Work
of wun kind or Anuther which is
Contrary to tn SPIRIT an tn Letter
of tn Child Laber Law. I'd ruther
be a Criminle at Large AN to be
wun on SIGH hard terms.
I'm most Afeerd after all at all
these Efferts which our Champeens
is maxim in our be12 is agoin' to
come to Not Boys has good many
more Enemies in this WOrld'h they
they has True Frens.
