THEY ARE LEGION.
Why Mr.. Sheldon Did Not Print
Names of Tax Dodgers.

When Mr.. Sheldon met in conference
with the newspaper correspondents to-
day to answer their questions, the cor
respondents frankly told him that the
article on THE Tax Dodger'' was the
best thing from a news standpoint that
had appeared in the Capital this week.
why did you not print the names,
Mr.. She1don?" aswed D O. McCrAy
Because said Mr.. Sheldon, the
names are legion. This city is full Of
that class of people, and I did not think
it right to single out a half dozen sin
ners and give their names. If I could
have given the entire list I might do
SO, but that would be impossible. do
not know that L would print them any
way. 1 am looking into the future and
beyond, to remedying the evil and per-
suading people to be more honest in the
matter of assessment"
Were the names not submitted to
you, and did you not blue pencil them ?''
mo, Mr.. Harrison asked me if I
wanted the names and 1 told him no.
do not know who they were myself
Don't you think people will know
who is referred to in the article, any
way?'
Possibly some may. people who are
well acquainted in Topeka
Do you hold that more good can be
accomplished by creating public senti-
ment against places of evil, such as
joints, and thus destroying their busl-
ness, than by naming the persons who
run them?"
THAT is my idea believe in train
ing the children right. I take the posi-
ton that it is cheaper to prevent crime
than to punish it. That is the view l
take in my church and parish work [
believe if we save the children the fu-
ture is safe. do not say that 1 would
not print the names of evil-doers if
were running a paper permanently but
do not deem it best as 1 am running
one for a week only
I notice." said A. c. Babize that
you make an editorial on the union of
Christendom your lead this morning.
May ask why you did not have a re-
porter give an account of your own
speech on that subject? To newspaper
men it looks as though the managing
editor allowed his own paper to be
scooped.'
That was purely for personal rea-
sons" replied Mr.. Sheldon. Il do not
want to have the appearance of putting
my own work forward. If I had been
an editor for years instead of for a
week. / might have had that covered
but under the circumstances 1 did not
wish to do So"
Mr.. Sheldon is spending the week at
the Copeland. After completing his
work on the Capital he goes to his room
at the hotel and goes to bed for a few
hours. Then he gets up and makes a
hurried trip out to see his wife and boy
and before 10 o'clock he is at work
again.
