SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED
TO THE KAISER

MONTREAL, March 22.-Mysterious
f,ntS are being discussed in certain
circles here in regard to the possibil
ity that the German Emperor may be
il serious physical condition. No
open statement could be obtained
f. ON any person of authority regardin. {,
the specific nature of the injury or dis
case which led TO the report, but ru.
nlors were current that something
has happened 10 the Kaiser" the ma.
ture of which is being kept a secret
by the faithful servants and physici-
ans with whom he mas surrounded
himself since the beginning of the war.
No news OF the Kaiser's where
abouts or of his physical condition has
hen given out from any part of the
German empire since on March 2.

EDITORIALS COMING
INTO THEIR OWN

Editorial utterances are being used
and discussed more widely right now
than ever before. Our people have be,
come more addicted to the editorial
habit in the last few years than in
half a century before. Early journals
were based on editorial utterances,
neglecting the news side, but in the
last quarter of a century, following
newspapey changes that are largely
the result of mechanical improve
ments, interest seemed to have fallen
away. Editors of late have become
mere parts in the factory.
Editorial columns probably have as
many readers proportionately as do
other newspaper departments, but with
the seeming decline of interest many
publishers dropped editorials as reg
ular feature and took to displaying
opinions in large type on the front
page from time to time.
But the great war brought a revival
of interest in editorials, sobered many
who had forgotten to read in the
modern excitements of tango, movie
and Joy spins. The war has made most
of us cosmopolites in good manv
ways. We know geographical maps IS
never before and something of the life
and habits of other people all around
the globe. We are demanding trained
and thoughtful comment upon world
and national affairs.

pEFAcERS OF PREMISES
NEED a SPANKING

There is nothing that adds more t2
the appeararce of town than well
kept premises. neat yards, clean gar
dens. beautiful lawns, and last. but
not least, a tidy looking fence, unless
the custom of removing fences alto
gether should become universal, and
we honor all those who take a per-
sonal pride in such things. .-.
But it is a lamentable fact that there
are those who do not take pride IL
fixing up anything about them and arc
enyious of others who do. They Will
go even out of their ways to annoy b.
little acts of pettiness that tend to mar
the appearance of premises. In inc
course Of news-hunting expeditions

ed nice feEces which thoughtless boys.

WAYS shown their natural bent. one
business man remarked. after finding
q visit had been paid by these vandals
TO his place: II would just like TO nave
four arms and hands instead or two
and catch some Of those little savages
at their work."
Nothing is more annoying TO man
after he has placed a. neat fence
around his home and had it neatly
painted to go out some morning anu
find that some thoughtless kid or some
man, perhaps, had been making car
penter shop of it. Sometimes the van

Testified
DEFENDANT ON THE STAND
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
That the man in whom she had
placed her hope refused to marry her,
after getting her into trouble when
she was but seventeen years old, was
the story told on the witness stand
yesterday afternoon in the district
court by Bertha Schwartz, the Tru-
man girl, who is the states star wit
ness in the trial of DIR. Charles A. A..
Joshlyn of Mankato on the charge of
performing an abortion. 1t was out
of the trial at Faimont of Arthur
Graf, twenty-e eight years old, also of
Truman, the man who, she said, caused
her trouble, that the case against Dr.
Joshlyn resulted. Refused in mar
rage, she says, she was brought to
Mankato to DIR. Joshlyn, by whom the
act was performed, which, the state
contends, was the crime charged
against the doctor in the Indictment
JoshIyn On The Stand.
DR.. Joshlyn was hiself on the
stand this morning The defense
seeks to show that the doctor did not
commit the crime charged, but merely
treated the girl for an illness. The
doctor described his treatment of the
girl, and the state called DR.. w. A.
Beach as expert witness, in an en-
deavor to break down the effect of the
defendants own testimony.
The impanelling of a jur.T of twelve
for the trial of this case was COM
pleted yesterday afternoon. In addi-
ton to the list published in yester
days Free Press, the following were
drawn: Morgan Brooks, Lime; ].
M. Laughlin, Mapleton; and John H.
Harter, Alvin Guentzel and A. T.
Wallace, city of Mankato.
Another important event this morn
ing in the court room was the re-as-
sembling of the grand jury, according
to previous arrangement. This was
at IL a. M For an hour the jury
worked and then the jurors took a
recess to go to lunch.
FitzIoff In Court Room.
J. C. Fitzloff, proprietor of the st.
Clair hotel, was present in the court
room tod1y having been subpoenaed
to testify in regard to the case against
Hugh j. Cook, the Minneapolis COM
mercial traveller, charged with utter
ing disloyal remarks. Mr.. Fitzloff re-
sented the statement that it was any
spite work on his part that caused
the arrest. 1t was true that he and
Cook had had a quarrel over mat
ter of board, but when he was sub
poenaed, he said, it took him utterly
by surprise,
