ment stores, the inspectors will keep
an eye open for child labor with a
demand for the prompt discharge of
all children who are not employed in
strict accordance with the conditions
of the child labor law.
The statistics secured from all
sources by the inspectors during their
three months work in this city, will
be classified for each separate
trade and will show the number en-
, ployed in each, the divisions into male
female and child labor, the ages of all
employees, length of the working day.

ASSAILS ANARCHISTS
REV. WHITE. CALLS RESPEC-
 TABLE LAWBREAKERs.
Those Holding Authority in Con- tempt More Dangerous Than Things-"Prate Less of Rights
 Preach More of Duties !"

Chicago Chronicle.
 There are anarchists in broadcioth as we'll as in blue jeans. Any man who holds law in disrespect is an anarchist. Our civic integrity is more really threat sned by the respectable lawbreakers of the boulevards than by the criminal of the elums." So said Rev. R. A. White at the Stewart Avenue Universaiist Church, in a sermon on The Rights and Duties of Good Citizenship" yesterday morning. A comprehension and discharge of the civic duties entailed by civlc rightem. a broader and more intelligent citizenship and a willingness to sacrifice self for the common good. toward tile ultimate end of honest and capable ad- niinistration of public affairs-these he urged. In part, his sermon follows:
 ''The most dramatic strgggle of men has been the struggle for rights. This struggle has made and sanctioned great battlenelds. It has given birth to rev0- lutions. Our present individual right of thought and action has been purchased with a price, We. are justly proud of t. Our chiefest boast Is the attainment of rights.
 But rights involve corresponding du- ties. One is meaningless without the other. No, man possesses a right with out at the same time being burdened with a duty. Of our rights we are even boast fully aware and noisily jealous. To onI duties we are still indifferent. Civic rights won. the next step is 8 deep ard active appreciation of our duties. One of the first duties of citizenship is a

able state of affairs exist there. The ex- isting farms. which were supposed to be capable of caring for as much sewage as the city could send, are frequently waterlogged. The sewage must be sent to the farms, as there is no other meth. cd open for its disposal at present, and though other farms are projected. which will relieve the excess, their preparation is delayed by the state of municipal finances. A peculiar disadvantage to the farmers is that they are prohibited from marketing their produce grown on these farms as long as the stagnant sewage floods the ground.
 The refuse destruction plan of Brussels is said to be the most complete yet in- stalled, and will consume in twenty-four hours POO tons of refuse, which, though less rich in combustibles during the sum- mer than in winter, suffices to maintain combustion the year around without a pound of coal.

Knowledge of civic conditions. The pride of the average man in his rights Is onIy equaled by his ignorance of the ordinary laws and the civic machinery of self government.
 ''The second great duty Of citizenship is, obedience to law. We are all clamOT- ous for the enforcement of law-at timcs and against the other fellow. I do not believe that Chicago is peculiar in the spirit of lawlessness, but without doubt, our chief weakness is our individual in- difference to law. First, we have the habitual law-breaklng class, the ortri- nal contingent of a great city population. Second, we have the respectable law. breaking class, the men who. in popular definitions rank as good citizens.' suspect that our real danger lies here. Our civic integrity Is more really threat ened by the respectable lawbreaker of the boulevards than by the criminal Uf the slunns.
 ''An aiiArcf1iBt Is a man who holds law in contempt and breaks it with impunIty whenever opportunity offers and self-in- terest demands. There are anarchists in broadcIoth, as well as in blue jeans. Any man, educated or uneducated, rich or poor, on the boulevards or in the slums
 who holds law in contempt is an anar- chist. In one degree and another we here in Chicago are indifferent to lay. The Mayor may not skirk his individual duty by procIaiming loudly the anarchy of our citizens. It is his business to See to it that the man who will not obey the
 law shall be made to obey 1t. Neverthe- 1 less. the paramount duty of the hour IS
 the generous appreciation of every citi- gen of his individual duty to respect and
 obey the law. If the law is wrong change 1t. But while it exists, obey it.
 we have ordinances against the smoke | nuisance. Who obeys them? Watch the bclching chlmneys of the great indus. tries, school buildings and churches aad
 note the persistent spirit of anarchy ex- isting. We have ordinances agalnst the | splitting nuisance. Cleanliness and health are involved in their enforcement. yet thousands of Chicago men cause the hai:s of our public buildings and our street
 cars to be unfit for decent people to use
 Here then. Is the real and pressing problem. How shait we create an abiG : ing sense of civic duties? Citizenship has grown complicated. To be a good citizen is an art. We have not learned it's alphabet. Prate less about rights Preach more about duties. BegIn Tn the schools. Make obedience to law one of the first lessons to our boys and girls. .''

HIGH COURT
 IS DIVIDED Ask Governor to Appoint j Special Justice. THE OIL TAG TAX LAW Court Stands Two for; Two
 Against Law. Justice Haralson is Disqualified, Be- cause He Is Trustee of Auburn
 Which Derives Benefits
 From Law.

A special Associate Justice of the su- preme Court, who will be appointed py Governor Jelks, will decide whether the oil tag tax law, passed by the last. Legis-
 lature. Is constitutional
 The Supreme Court of Alabama is di- vided upon the constitutionality of the
 law. Associate Justice Haralson is dis qualifed from passing upon the question at issue He is a trustee of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn. which l institution is beneficiary of the law.
 should 1t be declared constitutional The four other members of the court, Chief Justice Mcclellan, Associate Justices Dowdell, Tyson, and Sharpe, are evenly divided, two holding the law constitu-
 tional and two being of the opinion that the law Is unconstitutional. 1t is not, of course. known which two Justices think the law constitutional and which two
 Justices believe it unconstitutional. The members of the Supreme Court. as provided by law for such a contingency, certified to the Governor yesterday the sentiment of the court, and requested that he name q special Justice to sit with the
 court in deciding the case.
 The Governor will, in a day or 50, name
 the special fudge. The special Judge will
 decide whether the famous law Is con-
 stitutional or unconstitutional. His view
 of the law will be the opinion Of the Su-
 prefne Court of Alabama. The announce
 ment of the Governors selection for this
 important duty Is awaited with great in- terest.
 The title of the case as 1t Is before the Supreme Court is 0. E. Ament vs. the
 State of Alabama. Mir Ament is the Montgomery agent of the Standard Oil Company. Rockefeller's famous corpora ton was the one selected for the making of test case of the oil tag tax law. The case was first brought in the City Court of Montgomery. Tn this court Judge W. H. Thomas decided that the law was con- stitutionai.
 The law provides that every gallon of oil sold in Alabama must be examined by the State chemist at Auburn to ascer- tain if 1t is of the proper fineness. Af~ ter 1t Is examined, the oil is to be tagged before it can be legally sold. For this work the law provides that tax of one- half cent on each gallon must be paid.
 The principal attack upon the constitu- tionality of the law Is that 1t was enact- ed under the police powers of the State and that the tax charged is out of pro- portion to the service rendered.
