We do not believe that the members
Of the General Assembly, when they
passed the laws regulating the ped
ding of wares on our streets, ever i'm
agined that the executive branch of
government would put them in opera
tion against S-year-old children who
should see fit to make a few pennies by
peddling matches, biscuits or other
like commodities. Both the children
and the offenses are too small for a dig
nifed court to take cognizance of.

not only for his own living, but for the
