PUBLIC ENTITLED TO KNOW

The attitude of the officers of III,
local street car company. the North
ern Illinois Light and Traction Co.
during the threatened strike of the
motormen just settled temporarily
illustrates position assumed by
them and others operating public util-
tiles that is causing them to be re.
garded in anything but a favorable
light by the public whom they serve
and from whom their franchise wa
obtained.
The statements that THAT is no
item for the newspapers" and you
didn't print what | told you last Sat
urday, and you are bringing the
Northern Illinois Light and Traction
Co too much into the limelight for
your own good" illustrate this atti- .
1ude, which is all wrong.
The company are conducting a pub
lie utility upon which every man.
woman and child in Ottawa is more
or less dependent. To certain ex
tent the transportation question in
fuences the everyday action of the
people. Anything which concerns ,
the question as to whether or not the
cars will be running at a certain q
time is important to them and most h
legitimate item of news. And they O.
are entitled to the particulars in fuI
ana straight. II the management will II
not give the facts fully and without G
bias, newspaper is certainly en- a
titled to the privilege of getting the W

titled to full and true knowledge al
OF the facts. The news columns of n,
the paper belong to the public. and ~
they should be able to find in them
what they want to know of current Sc
events which affect them *
The minor details of the companv's I'M
work the public are not Interested co
IN, and this none of your business" Or
attitude may be all right there. if the en-
management wish to assume that at ian

Liquor Interests :
Are Deeply Troubled

Louisville, KY, Dec. 1e.-watching
one of their last remaining hopes for
a brief 'wet'' spell go fluttering away
by the decision yesterday Of the fed
eral supreme court upholding the
wartime prohibition act Kentucky
distillers and former saloon proprie-
tors today apparently were deeply
troubled. ~
How lawfully to dispose Of approx
mately 38,000,000 gallons Of liquor,
worth at wholesale approximately
$500, 100000 was a big question with
them. While expectation is allowed
until national prohibition becomes, ef-
fective January 16, 1920, q scarcity Of
ocean tonnage prevents expectation Of
all Kentucky whiskey by that time, 1t
was said. Distillers here professed to
sec no chance Of President Wilson
lifting the wartime ban soon.
Owners Of more than 800 Louisville
saloons had prepared to recommence
sale of liquor, and distillers planned to
ship thousands Of gallons outside the
state for sale, If the court held the
wartime act illegal.
Elwood Hamilton, collector Of in
ternal revenue for Kentucky, and Dis
trict Attorney w. ". Gregory an
nounced that prosecution Of violators
Of the war time act may be undertak-
en- shortly. Those persons selling liquor
under protection Of intunctions stop
ped their sales yesterday Immediately
after the supreme court dissolved
their injunctiona.

PERMANENT
.lNJUNCllONS }
ARE GRANTED
State Restrained From In
terfering With Mines in
Fisk's Decision.

Minot, N. D., Dec. 16.-Permanent
injunction was granted eleven opera
tors of northwest North Dakota re-
straining the state, from interfering
with the operation of mines by their
owners, in a decision handed down
by District Judge Frank E Fisk this
afternoon in an application made by
Attorney John E. Greene for such
an injunction. The judge finds the
acts of Governor. Frazier and Adju-
tant General Fraser violation of the
federal and state constitution. The
decision probab bly, will be appealed to
the state supreme court.
To date operators have ignored
the proclamation of the governor and
the power of the adjutant general
while the state has ignored the re-
straining order of the courts.
Owners. however. have possession
Of their mines and are operating
them as usual. The state claims the
operators should give an accounting
for money taken in while the state
officials believed they were in control
Of the mines and the operators re-
fuse, declaring the state never had
possession. Owing to this situation
the decision Of Judge Fisk, which
it was previously announced would
not be given, was handed down to-
day.

PHILHARMONIC TOUR,
MAY BE POSTPONED

Curtailed train service and fuel
shortage at various points throughout
the state have put damper on the
intended tour Of the state which was
to have been staged by groups of the
Philharmonic orchestra of Grand
Forks, under the direction of e. H.
Wilcox. In statement made today
Mr.. Wilcox said that he believed II
would be impossible to carry out the
entire schedule as planned but that
as much Of it as proved possible
would be undertaken.
Word from Hillsboro, received to.
day, stated that on account of Goa
shortage in that city it was impossible
to heat the opera house and no en-.
tertainments or gatherings of any
sort could be held in it. 1t is thought
that the same condition prevails IL
many other cities throughout the
state.
Just what points the tour will in.
clude it is impossible to state as yet

OF THE AMERICANS

Mexico City, Monday. Dec. 15.-(By

of the treasury and government
spokesman.
An emphatic denial is made BY
Senior Cabrera of charges contained

Mexico City that he is favoring the
British at the expense Of American
interests.
Branding the charges of anti.
Americanism made by "the interven'
tionist press" as part Of an interna
tional poliaicA scheme, Senor Ca
brera declares them utterly false.
The statement makes specific men
ton of charges Of favoritism to thu
British with regard to the return o
the railways to their owners, oil con
cessions and cotton shipments.

Cook Book Sale
Boom Was Due To A
Mysterious Recipe

It is reported that a boom in the
sale of cook books one day last week
was due entirely to rumor that was
afloat that a sure-f1re-never-fai
recipe for an excellent "home brew"
had accidentally been included in one
of them. This report has been in
dignantly denied by those connected
with the publication.
Housewives of the city declare that
never before have husbands shown
such a keen desire to explore. the
contents Of their cook books.
Another report is that books on
drink making and other books Of
recipes at the public library are
working overtime and becoming dog
cared. Oh, Man! With the holidays
so near the demand for these books
is said to be heayier than ever.

all he would have to do would be to

Turkey May Assist
In Eradication OF

STORMS CAUSE BIG LOSSES.

pite the high prices for fish which
have been paid for several months,
fishermen from the maritime prov

In some cases small boats which
had been hauled we'll up on the beach,
were swept out to sea and either de-
stroyed or badly battered. Many
small schooners were torn from their
