The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1886-01-16

In regard to our criticism Of the MENDOZA
post office the editor Of the Reporter, of tina,
city, takes strong exceptions and descends
to "oalling names" in his defense of MIR.
Address The tables seem to be reversed
in Mendoza. when the editor Of an alleged
democratic paper adopts the tactics Of de-
Tending a republican. Who though his official
integrity has never been impesched, has yet
managed his office with gross carelessness;
while the editor of the Bulletin, the republic
can organ Of that city, would not defend Mr..
Address. 1t is true that much sympathy
is expressed for the father on account Of the
acts Of his Maynard son, but that can not
shield the parent from his responsibility in
the matter, for the stealings in that Office
and the many complaints made by patrons
should not have been disregarded by the
post master. There had been many COM
plants made about that Office to Us which
we're refused publication in this paper long
before the robberies were known. 1t has
been notorious TACT lot months tnat pat
rons Of the office from the business portion
Of the town seldom, if ever, mailed letters
containing remittances at the Office proper,
carrying them in preference to the cars.
Does Seaman call this "maliciou. nesss" and
again Mir. Seaman need not deny that he
does not know anything about that poker
room. How avfully innocent he iss 1t is
run by Swearengen and Clark, and if he
wants the names Of those who frequent that
place we can furnish them, and then il will
be seen that he knows more about
the poker den than ne pretends. The
fRKE TRADER has no desire to bring the
name Of Mr.. Address into disrepute. In
fact, the article in the paper WAS written be-
fore it WAS known that the post Office had
been robbed. Is the fact worrying the al
legged democratic" newspaper that the
FRKx TRADER omitted TO mention the fat
that Mr Kieselbsch, one Of the editors of

A CORRESPONDENT OF the New York Age writes
thus:
In recent trip through the West came to many
towns where Prohibition laws existed. As a rule,
grog shops were numerous and OF o low order, and
the laws were but seldom carried out, while In
towns where the license was high the places where
the law for fear Of losing The license, which had cost
them considerable money. Besides, they were
watchful inat no without license should sci up
competition. II naturally follows that with high
license those In the traffic see that the laws are en-
forced.
This is the almost universal experience In the
West where prohlbitory laws have been enacted.
