MIXED HIS COLORS ON
THE kAlSER'S FACE
Court Acquits Painter Tried for Lese
Maieste and Censures Inforner

METZ, Jan. IA singular case of
'lese majestic was tried at the Saverne
assizes today. While repainting the
stables of a colonel at Sarrebourg a
workman came across an old painting
of the Emperor William. 1t was in a
dilapated condition, and thinking it of
no value the man used it for mixing his
colors on.
The colonels orderly was Mortified et
what he called the painters lack of re-
spect, and remarked that the man laid
himself open to a charge of lese ma
jeste.
What do we want with an emperor ?"
the workingman replied, and went on
mixing colors on the emperor,s face.
The incident was related by the orderly
to one of his comrades, who sent to the
police an anonymous letter denounc-
ing the painter
A prosecution was instituted, and
the case came on today. The accused
was acquitted, the court holding that
the painters intention to offend was not
proved. The conduct Of the inforrner
was censured by the judges.

Special to The Globe
PIERRE, S. D., Jan. All the mem
bers are in except few stragglers
and the matter of organization is the
principal topic. The selection Of
Browne as speaker is no longer ques-
toned and H. C. Dunham, of Kings
bury county, appears, to lead for chief
clerk of the house. Carr, of White
wood, has not yet arrived to push his
candidacy and the Black Hills MEM
bers on the ground do not appear to
be especially active in his behalf and
in case he is willing to accept place
lower down the line it will probably be
rendered him. For sergeant at-arms
of the house the name of Dad" Bishop,
of Salem, is being talked as a new can
1idate by the McCook county delega-
ton. For secretary of the senate,
Simons, of Mitchell. appears to be in
the lead with Leclair, of Edmunds, as
second probability. Armstrong, of
Faulk, is making strong fight on his
personality and past record, but the
chances this evening are against him.
Searls, of Moody, is yet the only ap-
plicant for sergeant t-arms of the.
senate. The indications are that the
chairmen of the principal committees
in both houses and senate of two years
ago viii be retained in their old places
with possible change In few places.

College Wants Pirate TwrIer to Work
Until June

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-After all PATSY
Flaherty, the Pirates little left handler, is
not going to coach the BeIoit college base
ball players, and the reason is that the
college authorities were too exacting and
made demand for too much of the little

When negotiations were first opened it
was understood that the Beloit people
only wanted the little Pirate to handle the
PLAYERS during the early spring months
and for. which he was to receive free
tuition Ill whatever branch of study he
cared to take up. This was satisfactory
to Fiaherty. and he thought the matter
was as good as closed, but during the
week ne received word from Beloit that it
would be necessary for him to remain with
and coach the players until the first of
June and that put new face on things.

and Vote for Eligibility Rule

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The Northwestern
university athletic board of control will
hold meeting this week at which a num-
Der of important questions will be brought
up for settlement. 1t finally has been de-
cided that Jerry Delaney. trainer of last
years track team and of the football
team, will not be retained, and the board
will have to choose his successor.
Delaney is said to have made overtures
to Wisconsin and Iowa, and it is said that

MIN as trainer. Delaney's ability as a
trainer is held in high regard at Evanston
but It is said that Northwestern was dis,
cial affairs -
Another question that the board win
decide is whether Northwestern will
maintain a baseball team this spring.
For several years the university has made
a poor showing and many of the board
were in favor of dropping the game at
evanston this year. but there has been
such protest on the part of the students
and particularly from those who wish to
Try TOT the team, that it is considered
likely that the game will not only be re-

ANNUAL CHURCH MEETING
Baptists Will Proceed in the Comple-
 tiOn of Their New Building.

The First Baptist church held an adjourned meeting of it's building com mittee in connection with it's annual business meeting Wednesday evening. It was an enthusiastic meeting the main topic being the completion of the beautiful edifce at the corner of Third avenue and Monroe street. There is the utmost unanimity in the church and congregation in the effort to finish at once the auditorium. Six thousand dollars will be needed to carry out the plans for the finished edifce. But this does not discourage the Baptists. They have some money on hand, more in sight and are confident that the bal ance will come willingly from those who recognize the character and value of the First Baptist church to the city of Phoenix. The church gathered in it's annual business meeting authorized the board of trustees and the building committee to proceed immediately with the work. The personnel of the building committee, pr. John Wix Thomas. C. D. Doris, L. w. Coggins and the pastor, is a guarantee that operations will not lag.
 At the annual meeting the following officers were elected: Deacons. B. F. McFall. L. D. COggins and C. w Goodman, reelected for two years.

these doctors are smart and they are working the scheme carefully. They do not propose in any way to curtail or limit their own use of alcohol which, as every pharmacist knows, is an ab- solute necessity in many cases as a solvent or preseuvative; but they are willing to encourage the w. c. T. U. ladies to pull chestnuts out of the fire for the doctors.
 The animus of these efforts to limit or destroy the sale of proprietary med icines is the desire of a certa.I class of physicians to destroy competition by making it impracticabel for the people to buy medicine without the written permission of a physician. The doctor will tell you that it is mot safe for peo- pie to prescribe for themselves" which may be true in some cases. But is 1t safe for a poor man to pay a dollar to a doctor for permission to buy ten cents worth of pills, which the patient knows he needs. In ninety-nine cases ont of a hundred, where medicine is taken, it is for some comparatively sim pie ailment the nature of which is well understood In the vast majority of cases people of ordinary sense know substantially what is the matter with them, and the experience of genera
 
 certain troubles. Savages have some knowledge of these things, and natur- alists tell us that even the lower ami mals eat certain herbs or practice cer- tain diet in case of sickness or physical disturbance. It is the common belief that a person who takes a proprietary or domestic remedy, with which he is familiar, generally gets along quite as well as he would if he had incurred the expense of going to a physician. In any event, the great mass of people find it inconVenient, burdensome and often impossible to consult a physician for every ailment. They have become accustomed to exercising their liberty as American citizens to do as they please in such matters, and they will natur- ally resent efforts to curtail their lib- erty in this regard or to saddle upon them financial burdens which in their own judgment are needless.
 It is a question whether the growing disregard of law in this country is not largely due to the excess of legisIa- ton, tending, as it often does, to cur tail the natural liberties of the people, and very frequently to promote the sell fish interests of certain favored classes.

THE GROWING DISREGARD OF
 LAW.

The growing disregard of law in this country has been the theme of many writers for some years past and it is a noticeable fact that, during the same period of time, there has been an ex- traordinary multiplication of laws for the regulation of almost every kind of business and even to regulate the conduct of individuals in many di- rections not heretofore regarded as subjects for public control. This tend ency is being constantly fostered and encouraged by agitators of all kinds In some states the mass of statute law has already become enormous, and it is readily and rapidly growing. This feverish demand for legislation of all kinds intended to circumscribe the life and activities of the people has been cunningly taken advantage of by many schemers, who, while ostensibly seek ing to promote the public welfare. are in fact influenced by a desire to pro- mote purely selfish interests, and by still others to whom the chief joy of existence is the pleasurabIe sensation of forcing their own hobbies upon oth- CT people.
 In no branch of human activity is this desire to curtail the liberties of the people more fully developed than among certain branches of the medi- cal profession. It seems to be the fixed belief of certain pnysicians-mainly those whose business is less remuner- ative than they believe it should be that the lawmakers of the country should immediately come to their res cue and by some legislative device compel a larger and more profitable patronage of the medical profession. There is much ingenious scheming to bring about the result, always, of course, under the guise of protecting the people," and in these efforts some of the physicians seem to be willing to take up with any fad and ally them selves with any class to accomplish their end.
 The alliance between the country physicians and some of the w. c. T. U ladies is a remarkable illustration of this fact The doctors as a class, and the country dispensing physicians in particular, constantly use large quan- titles of alcohol in the medicines which they themselves compound or pre- scribe. There is no class of men more firmly convinced of the necessity for the use of alcohol in nearly all liquid medicines. On the other hand, the w. c. T. U. ladies energetically contend that the whole medical and pharma- cuetical world is utterly mistaken: that alcohol is not only absolutely useless, but that 1t is positively and dangerous ly harmful in any quantity in any medicinal preparation, and that its use should be utterly stamped out While their principles are thus totally at var lance, these doctors and a group of w. c. T. T.. ladies have cheerfully allied themselves in a war upon all proprie- tary medicines-regardIess of whether they contain alcohol or not-and re- gardless of the fact that those which do contain alcohol contain on an aver age much less than the corresponding remedies prescribed by physicians.

gested that the fruit when thoroughly
 matured be cut and suspended in a
 warm room and left to soften, as is the case with pears and other fruit
 He further said ill-fed, immature or
 damaged palms often make efforts to
 flower and fruit but have not enough
 vitality to complete the process. Mir
 Smith thoroughly believes that this part of Arizona is applicable to date culture. At the same time much has to be learned as to it's requirements in this part of the world. It is known that the palm will grow under great heat and moisture and yet not fructify; it will exist under great heat and drouth but fails to yield fruit Ap- parently the date palm requires food and water pIentifully and regularly. Mir. Smith said few people rightly un- derstand the application of water to the soil and plants, though they see the rainfall and irrigate from year end to year end. Water sets the soil into chemical activity so that gases are liberated from it's several parts. These liberated gases are seized by the rOOtlets of plants and digested with a certain amount of water. and further absorbed water carries the food gases through canals in plants to the points where. they are required to build up the several parts of the plant. The date palm particularly wants its water and food regularly winter and sum mer. Particularly in winter. for then it is storing up energy from the earth for later use. The date palm is one of the most ancient and valuable fruit trees. It furnishes food to millions of people in Asia and Africa, and the United States spends over half mil lion dollars annually on it as a table luxury. As the tree will grow here a harvest of dates and dollars awaits any person who will study the date palm and its proper culture and follow the matter up with intelligence.
