A body would a thought he was Adam--he was just all mud.

Whenever his liquor begun to work he most always went for the govment, this time he says: "Call this a govment! why, just look at it and see what it's like.
Here's the law a-standing ready to take a man's son away from him--a man's own son, which he has had all the trouble and all the anxiety and all the expense of raising.

Yes, just as that man has got that son raised at last, and ready to go to work and begin to do suthin' for HIM and give him a rest, the law up and goes for him.

And they call THAT govment! That ain't all, nuther.

The law backs that old Judge Thatcher up and helps him to keep me out o' my property.
