rarch then as laior when it begini Jo '
Understand Tiow we judge. When it
begins to shirk from our scorn of it
because it is illegitimate, even while
it gropes vaguely for the reasoh that
it should pay the price.
And when it isTolder still, and the
injustice of us eats into its soul, it
will rebel against us and our laws
and it will defy them, perhaps, and
then we will punish it some more.
We won't say that i. broke the, laws
because we punished it unjusfly in
the beginning; wewllt just punish it
some mora and finally; we wilt break
it altogether "find" 'some day Death
will remember it and its price will be
pajd in full.
You don't like the picture well, it
is the picture that civilization has
drawn for you out of the colors she
manufactured. And it isn't an over
drawn picture, for doctors of hospi
tals have shown the release by which
the mbther evaded paying for her sin
and passed it on to her child; and
doctors have testified that they sold
the baby to people who gave ad
dresses where no houses-ever Stood,
and doctors -have said': "They are
only illegitimate children, anyway."
And of course that makesa dlffejr
pnp.fi. But somehow well, they are
so tiny and so helpless and so sweet'
and adorable that the pity or it all
makes one's eyes ache with tears.

TAXDODGERS CAN REST EASY
UNTIL MAY EIGHTEENTH
Taxdodgers have until May 18 to
square themselves from prosecution
by State's Attorney Maclay' Hoyne.
On that date the prosecutor's office
will go after two classes of taxdodg
ers those who do not file schedules
and those- who file false and fraudu
lent schedules.
Hoyne's campaign has already
seemingly thrown a scare into the big
cbrporations. Yesterday the Com
monwealth Edison Co. scheduled
$30,500,000 worth of personal prop
erty. This is an increase of $1,000,
000 over last year.
CJiaflG R. G?e gotsthe prize for
scheduling the largest amourit of any
individual iri the city he listed $i,
500,000. But Hoyne probably under
stands there are many men in Chi
cago who can schedule more than
that amount.
The Marshall Field estate sched
uled" $17,000,000 in personal prop
erty. This does not include any
holdings of Marshall Field & Co.
