One of the judges of Chicago was 50
quoted in recent issue of the Chi-1st
cago Tribune to have said that of the no
many cases of delinquency brought3fl
against girls in his court, more than9n
IS pei. cent began with the birth of1aT
a child. They were mothers by rea-
son of a certain innocency, a certain
naive surrender to the power of love. isl
The child of such a mother shouldn't
not be denied the fundamental rightsnu
of a son and heir.
There is no excuse and no reason
for ilegitimacy except that all laws,
past and present, have been written1o
by men and for the protection Of NJ
men-women and children have been Ell

three d1VlS1OnS-trSt OF all, how does
it affect the child? And the answer
to this is; to me, instant and con-
elusive. It is a matter of simple JUS
tice to the child. Nearly all men will
admit, even the libertines viii admit,
that a babe should not be held re-
sponsible for the wrong-doing of its
sire or dam. What has the infant
done that he should begin life with a
legal badge of shame written upon
his face? Has he not the same nat
ural right that any other child has to
a fair name and an honorable place
in the social order? His need of
protection is far keener and his dan
ger more pressing.
Why should the child of self-sac-
rifcing love begin life disowned, dis
honored, an unwelcome burden to
the state or to organized charity,
while his ibertine progenitor goes
gaily on his way of irresponsible dali
lance with other women?
In case the child is a girl, these
questions are still more poignant, in
f1nitely more searching. The proba-
biIities that the girl child of such
union will develop into a tragic crea-
ture of the night are strong, for with.
out the protection of father, mother
or family, it is almost a miracle when
such an orphan grows to womanhood
interrupted and secure.
The conditions of the maternity
hospitals of our cities are but OBJ
securely known, their records are elu-
sive-and yet enough has been re-
ported by their heads to warrant the
statement that the birth of illegiti-
mate children is. on the increase and
that farming them out is common
and their actual murder not I'M
known.
It needs no special investigation to,
understand that the tendency of
these outlawed boys is to become
criminals and the~tendency of these

AGE OF SPECIALISTS
SOON IN AUTO TRUCKS
Motor Authorities See Time When
Efforts Will Be Devoted to Max
ing Distinct Types.

From the beginning persons who have
been following the commercial motor We
hicle industry have been convinced that
there was not the least similarity in the
future development and promise of that
branch of the industry with the other
end, the touring car line. The passenger
ear business is Invisible into no such de-
partmentS as the commercial car line.
Passenger cars are either touring or Ii
mousine bodies, or their variations. such
as roadster limousine and coupe. They
cater. however. to one general line OF
business. and that is the transportation
of persons.
In the commercial vehicle world those
who look ahead can foresee a time when
separate makes of commercial vehicles
will devote themselves TO distinct lines OF
business and will not attempt to cover
the whole field of building business We
hiCles. That is to say, there will be
some who will build exclusively for brew
ers others who will make STRENGTHENING
apparatus only, still others who will at
tempt 10 build nothing but motor fire APP
paratus and some who will put in a line
of agricultural motor-driven stuff alone.
There are many subdivisions called for
by the trade of SroCers. dry goods men.
contractors. iron founders and a hundred
other lines.
In other words. il is TO be the age of
the specialist in the making of CONNER
cial vehicle bodies, because it will be a
case of body building on certain va
riety of chassis each adapted particularly

vertised. out of the work of such spe-
cialists would grow = particularly eff

is to say. concern which has made a
very complete and thorough study of the
needs of the brewing business for in
stance. can develop chassis and bodies
enough to tit every requirement of that
line of business, and TO do that and moth
ing else completely and consistently
that the brewers will have complete con-
fidence in the goods as turned out.
There Will be no wasting of energy by
applying effort over very great num-
Der of lines of business. as is the case
now.

To the Editor of The Star:
There is one phase of the present con-
troversy between the United States and
Great Britain that has been entirely
overlooked in the discussion. and yet it
seems to me the one that is determine
tive Of the whole matter. j refer to the
question of our rights in the canal in
case of a war to which the United States
may be party
We read in the first clause OF the Hay
Pauncefote treaty that the canal shall
''be free and open to the vessels of COM
merce and of war of all nations observ-
ing these rules on terms of entire equal
ity."
Now suppose We admit the British con-
tention with reference to ships of COM
merce. accepting the theory that we en-
brace ourselves, the builders OF the canal.
among the nations which can use it only
Ion terms of entire equality. how will
it fare with us in case OF war? We can
not give the treaty one construction FOR
ships of commerce and another for ships
of war. because the treaty says ships
of commerce and OF war, so that
ships of commerce and of war;, so that
whatever we admit In the construction
of the treaty as applying to ships OF
commerce must apply with equal force
to ships OF war.
Therefore. to accept the British con-
struction of the treaty as the proper one
with reference to ships Of commerce. is
tantamount to an acceptance of this view
with reference to ships of war. And II
we do that then all the most vital rea-
sons we had for building the canal are
done away with, and the American people
have spent s40O.CO0,000 for waterway
whose man purpose was to strengthen
whose main purpose was to strengthen
we have weakened ourselves by so do
ing To accept the British idea that the
neutrality of the canal extends to the
United states it's builder and operator
means that it will be worth not one red
cent more to us in case of war than to
any other nation. which, for the time
being is our enemy.

Should Repeal the Law.

l agree with Prof Emory Johnson
that the law as it stands ought to be
repealed. The exemption of coastwise
shipping from tolls seems to me most
unwise. Already it has a monopoly
upon the cOastwise business. and with
such monopoly it has grown by leaps
and bounds in the past decade or two.
1t seems to have all the stimulation
that healthy growth demands On
the other hand the maintenance of the
canal. coupled with its defense, is go
ing to mount far up into the millions
of dollars. and unless the big waterway
is to be a great drain upon the Treas
ury we must get tolls on everything
that passes. | am a great believer in
inland waterways And if the canal is
to mean it's most to us commercially
they must be consistently developed.
To do 1t will take money. Col.
Cocktails once remarked to me that the
deepening of the Mississippi river
would represent bigger engineering
problem than the building of the Pan
anna canal In order to have funds for
the Improvement OF our waterways
think we ought to use the tolls of the
canal for that purpose
When we ordinarily talk about tolls we
think they are heavy. AS matter OF
fact Sl.N ton net register on shipping

IMMIGRANTS L|TERACY
TEST IS AGREED UPON
Believed Conferees' Report, II
Adopted, Would Exclude
Many UndesirabIes.

An important step toward the adoption
of a literary test for the admission of
immigrants, which has been a subject of
controversy in Congress for twenty
years, taken yesterday when the

agreed upon a report. which will retain
the test in slightly modified form.

which sets forth that immigrants shall be
required only to be able to read. whereas
the Senate bill provided that they should
both read and write.
The principal reason urged for the
adoption of the requirement in any form
is that ii will have the effect of limiting
immigration from those portions of the
old world from which the least desirable
elements of labOrers are received

argue that for us weakly to accept the
doctrine that. although the canal is the
result of the unanimous voice for the
improvement of our national defense, we
must now have that advantage swept
away by an unwarranted construction of
treaty that weakly to accept such a
doctrine does not affect our honor" 1t
seems to me that to argue that such
things are arbitrable leaves nothing too
sacred for court of arbitration.
