This law is unfair because an

How much longer are we going to

gold? This boy should be in school.
It makes no difference how poor he is
or how poor and helpless are parents
or dependents. The state should come
forward, put the child in school, edu-
cate him and pay all expenses if the
parents are unable.
Many foreigners are buying their
property by putting all the children
to work. This is criminal
We hired a set of rascals last year

Instead. of helping poor unfortunate

themselves to be dirty rate. Why did
they not get these women husbands,

They voted to send them to hell
The illegal children were also left
in hell by our wonderful CD legisla-

wage to the mothers of the race be-
cause they want women to be slaves
and do hard work cheaper than men.
Our last legislators should be burned
instead of merely hung for what they
did. Instead of being Christian or in
any way religious we are all rascals
