BUS COMPANY ASKS
PERMISSION TO RUN
MARSE|LLES LIVE
PETITIONS CITY COUNCIL FOR
PERMISSION TO USE OTTAWA
STREETS FOR ITS cARs-Ac.
TloN DELAYED UNTIL LEGAL
OPINION is OBTAINED.

That plans were being formulated
for the establishment of a passenger
carrying automobile bus line between
Ottawa and Marseilles was formally
announced to the city council last
night, when Thomas f. Kennedy one
of the incOrporatOrs, asked permis-
sion to use streets over a designated
route for his cars.
The application, coming without
any previous hints of its character
to members of the commission
caught the mayor and his colleagues
unprepared to grant franchise Off
handed and they decided, before TAX
ing any definite steps one way or the
other, to look well into the matter
first and then act later.
Mr. Kennedy. who was present at
the meeting, announced that his COM
pany was now preparing a petition
for a certificate of convenience be-
fore the Illinois Commerce Commits
sion and expected to get some de-
cision from that body within the
next thirty days or six weeks. The
streets covered in the proposed rout-
ing Of the busses include La Sale,
Columbus, Clinton, Superior and
thence on out east to the hard road
connecting the two municipalities.
Mayor Weeks in discussing the pro-
posal said he would have to look up
the law before he could act intelli-
gently on the application, Commits
sioners DCuehorty and Sticklen were
for advancing slowly and being sure
of their ground. Commissioner Palm
er was inclined to grant the request,
giving it as his opinion that regard
less of whether or no the city grant
ed the permission, the company could
go ahead and operate its business
over the sity streets, where and as
often as they wished.
A contrary view was taken, how
ever was taken by Commissioner
Doughertv, who said he believed the
city could control its streets at any
and all times and that the company
to operate as a public carrier, would
first have to gain the consent Of the
council.
The dispute only Of q few minutes
duration, terminated with a decision
to refer the question to City Attor-
ney f. l.. Nicholson.

Motherhood to Be Honored
By Nation oniSunday, May 8

OF the day by Congress and the exc
cutive departments of the Govern
ment. In 1914 the President was in
structed by Congress to annually pro-
claim Mothers Day and request that
the American flag be displayed on all
Government buildings and private
homes. The first proclamation was
issued May .. 1914. by President Will
son.
Observance of the day has found
ready response in the hearts of Amer
lean men and women, and no day is
honored with more sincerity and APP
probation of its significance. With
few exceptions, every church through
out the country devotes at least one
service during the day to Mother"
Public schools pay tribute to her in
whose honor the day is set aside on
the Friday preceding, and in business
circles 1t is observed on Saturday.
While the day has 1t origin in
America and was at first observed
only In this country. It has become In
late years as sacred to other coun-
tries, notably in England. where SER
vices and customs similar to those Of
America are followed. The Moth

with headquarters in Philadelphia.
has been organized for the purpose
of perpetuating the day, and is dill
gently engaged in instituting 1t in all
civilized countries, where the plan is
being received with enthusiastic well

AS the custom has attined perman-
ency and public regard, 1t has become,
aside from its public phases. a signal
for family reunions, in which mother
is the center of homage. Numerous
worthy acts are performed on that
day in her honor. and men and wo
men are made the better for the in
spiration which her memory or pres

Charles M. Schwab, who recently
returned from a trip abroad, is au-
thority for the statement that Ger
many. through the economy and a c
rihces Of her working people, has
settled down to real production and
is ou~tstripping the United States and

many can put a ton of steel in Eng
land at a price of $40 a ton cheaper
than England can make 1t, and is
selling pneumatic tools in Detroit,
where formerly we shipped such ma
chinery to Germany. and sold 1t
cheaper than she could make It." He
concluded by declaring that ut Is
possible that, after having o the
war, we of the Allied nations, with
everything in our hands. will allow
Germany to win the peace through
the efforts of her labor"
For several years before the out
break of the world war, Germany's
foreign trade increased by leaps and
bounds. Great Britain and the Uni
ted States were losing in the race be-
cause of the cheaphess of German la
Dor. The Berlin government forced
the workingmen to accept low wages
and protected the home industries by
a high protective tariff. At the pres
| emit time the German workingmen are
taking low wages without protest and
| the foreign trade of Hunland is pick
ing up, Notwithstanding the loss of
the German merchant marine and the
| occupation of the Rhine territory by
Allied troops. 1t is evident that the
United States must make haste to
protect itself from German imports.
Even then we shall not be able to
compete with the Germans in the
markets of the world. 1t seems high
ly probable that II the Berlin govern
ment is successful In lodging the rep
| aration exactions Of the Allies and
| preserving her industries she will

ton on the face of the earth.

of our foreign-born population was
3O.7 per cent
Who would think that the number
of natives of England and Scotland
now here outnumber the Irish? The
Irish seem more in evidence. But
the figures show 1,O66,S96 English
and Scotch (about four-fifths of them
English) and 1,035.6S0 Irish. There
are, besides. 60.070 Welsh.
