Well, we wouldn't be under no obligation to provide for them; still I would be in favor of helpin' them along for a while until they could learn to work and earn an honest livin', just like the United States Government looks after the Indians.

These hayseeds have been so used to livin' off of New York City that they would be helpless after we left them.

It wouldn't do to let them starve.

We might make some sort of an appropriation for them for a few years, but it would be with the distinct understandin' that they must get busy right away and learn to support themselves.

If, after say five years, they weren't self-supportin', we could withdraw the appropriation and let them shift for themselves.
