COLD AND coal.

Intense cold has been reported the
last few days from an area covering
Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa,
Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan.
Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. Much
suffering, and even fatalities are re-
ported as a result Of the low tempera-
ture How much Of this is due to the
prevailing coal famine would be diff
cult to estimate, but that the scarcity
and prohbitive price OF fuel are having
disastrous effects cannot be doubted.
The people IN this country ore not
over sensitive to the cold weather.
They are accustomed to the extremes
Of summer and winter temperatures,
and If they have fuel enough they
know how TO keep comfortable. II Is
not like a sudden fall Of the temporal
ture in semi-troplcal countries, where
the inhabitants ars not prepared, with
dwellings and clothing, for visit Of
old Boreas, and therefore easily fall
victims to his fury
That It should be possible In this
country with its, broadly speaking,
unlimited supply Of coal, to bring on
situation In which thousands must suf-
fer for want Of fuel, Is very dgnln-
cant II through combination OF in.
terests coal consumers can be treated
thus IN the middle Of the winter when
the health and lives Of the people are
dependent upon the unrestricted pro-
duetion ana sale Of fuel, there is no
guarantee that other combinations may
not be made for the purpose Of creating
bread famine, In the midst Of plenty
Congress is at work, investigating
trus methods. 1t is time for the peo-
pie, through their representatives to
take protective measures against tao
ties that clearly are hostile And Con-
gress should be aided as far as prac.
tlcally by the states.

MEDICAL Laws.

The regular doctors hope TO secure
legislation protecting the public against
irrcgulars and particularly against
Christian Scientists, spirltuallsts, os-
teopaths and "mldwIyes," Homeopaths
and Eclcctics do not seem to be con.
eidered in that category although few
years ago they would certainly have
been so classed,
The experience Of the past few
years has shown the necessity
Of rational legislation pertaining
10 the preservation Of health.
and the duty OF seeking good
medical aid In behalf Of sick children
ana others dependent on their fellow
men for care, Il is needed for the pre-.
venton, os far as possible, Of conta-
giCus diseases. and the placing Of the
responsibility where It properly belongs.
But legislation Of this kind should not
have even the Appearance OF class leg
lslation. The public viii be quick to re-
sent IT, no matter under what guise II
comes The people desire some in
dlvidual freedom in the choice OF medl-
cine. as In the choice OF food, and they
are entitled to that. They can be de-
pended on. with few exceptions, not to
be very wrong in the choice OF medical
advisers,
The chief point, however against Leg
islation in favor Of one school of physl-
clans as against others Is this, that pro-
hibition in this respect does not pro-

license. A Christian Scientist could, on
the same conditions, demonstrate" in
stead OF giving drugs, What would be
the real value Of h,w that would per-
nit one school Of doctors to do that
which It prohibited another school from
doing? We believe care should be exer-
clsed, lest laws fall into contempt.
Doctors whose skill is known and who
enjoy public confidence need no laws to
compel people to seek their advice,
They depend upon their own merits for
the patronage they deserve.

"CRAFTy But CLUMSY"

our morning contemporary the Trib-
une, struggles to worm itself out of the
hole in which il has fallen, In wilfully
mIsrepresenting the Deseret News on
the Senatorial question But the at
tempt is vain and shows more clearly
than ever its craft and its clumslness'
The Tribune tries to divert attention
from its sinuosity, by asking us to de
fine how crafty hand can be 'clum-
sy' one" There is no need for US to
dc that. as its own efforts TO distort
our remarks amply illustrate the point.
But we refer it to the dictionary for
the required definition.
The Century Dictionary says crafty
means "artful; willy; sly designing; de-
ceiptful: plotting And in explanation
quotes an authority thus; Crafty yet
gifted with the semblance Of sincerity,
combining the plety Of pilgrims with
the morals Of highwaymen. Clumsy
Il says means awkward; ungainly;
uncouth. etc; as a clumsy workman
clumsy sentences" These explanations
ought 70 be enough even for our cum
ming but clumsy morning contemporary,
But 10 the main point The Tribune
says 1.-THE whole matter Is based on
counsel from the President" Wen, we
have disputed and stlll dispute the
Tnbune's assertion. that President
Roosevelt sent message Of advice and
counsel TO the Legislature Of the State
Of Utah IN reference to the senatorial
elscilon. In doiEs SC we referred 90 a
conspiracy on the Part OF certain
schemers, which included an attempt TO

The following figures relating TO the
financial condition Of Venezuela throw
much lisht on the situation OF that
country Her foreign debt is estimat-
ed at 100000 bolivars. or the equiva-
lent Of about sl5,00OoOO Of our money.
The American consul in 1901 estimated
the claims arising out Of the revolution
which nut Castro IN the presidential
chair at ls,l2SoSi bollvars but the
Venezuelan government has only ac-
knowledged 36162o2 bolivars as a
legitimate debt. and the amount has
since been scaled down by 1t to 1928. q
200 bollvars or S2il6i0. The revenues
Of the republic from customs are esti-
mated at 100000 bolivars annually.
OF this amount 2i,5OO,O0O bollvars are
collected az the seaboard, and the re-
naming 6500Oo0 at inland CUSTOM
houses. It costs to run the govern

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

In setting out an orchard keep to-
gether all trees Of the same variety.
Good garden soil is good for pot
plants, but can be improved BY the ad-
dition Of leaf mold.
Weak rosebushes may often be made
to grow by giving them an occasional
watering with liquid manure.
One advantage with small fruits IS
that they can be made to furnish a
supply long before trees come into bear
ing.
In planting border don't plant every
thing in rows. A row Of hollyhocks,
for instance, isn't half as attractive as
irregularly placed groups that break
the outline.
With pot plants in a general way too
little water is better than too much.
The dropping leaves indicating drought
are more easily remedied than yellow
leaves, the result Of being kept too
wet.
In preparing pots for plants the
pieces Of broken pots or crockery IN the
bottom should never be omitted, as
without proper drainage the soil be-
comes sour, the plants languish and
the leaves become yellowish.

French Province

Market Scene In This Quaint
French Province.
Brittany is land where the peasants
till the earth in zouaye trousers, torea-
dor jackets covered with arabesque
cmbroideries and green waistcoats
around which run lines Of crimson.
The women wear short red skirts,
great medici collars and colts that fut
ter about their heads like the wings Of
doves. From beneath the points Of
their black caps the children gaze at
you With wide eyes full OF the curiosity
of animals.
These people live in houses built Of
sculpturcd granite and sleep III open
work closets carved like the mouchara-
bieks of Egypt.
In spite CT the Breton Interiors and
"Returns Of the Fishermen with
which painters swamp the market this
race is still unknown or misundcr-
stood. for they should be seen not in
paintings, but in their homes, ii their
old time streets, on market days and
when, in fair time, the tents arc pitched
in the village market places.
Fiery little horses draw to market
fish, fine vegetables and all the early
produce OF Roscoff. They are spread
out upon the sidewalk. Chickens
cackle; goats bleat; pigs, tied by the
leg, strain toward the vegetables, sniff
ing at the fresh greens.
Farmers in sabots, carrying great
blue umbrellas under their arms, with
the two ribbons of their felt hats float
ing down their backs, pick their way
among the Dinan china displayed on
the ground-capacious soup tureens,
cider jugs anG plates covered with
painted flowers and grotesQue figures.
The peasants converse with but few
gestures; they bargain in gutteral
tones.
These taciturn people forget them
selves in the barrooms on fair days.
The taverns are full Of noise. You
may hear the sound Of an accordion
and the plaintive note of the biniou "a
sort of bagpipc), leading monotonous
dances.
Into the harbor come boats laden
with fish; other boats go out. The
fishermen are full Of business. Next
week will occur the departure for the
new country. There are women who
weep.
Above all this agitation the smoke of
the village chimneys mingles with the
great white clouds. The quiet sea mir
rors the sun.--Artist Castaigne in Cen
