History-
TRIAL OF
JOHN BUSKIN
An unusual incident in the life of
the American painter Whistler was
that of his suit for libel against John
Ruskin, the English critic.
On November 25, 1878, the plain
tiff alleged that the defendant had
libelled him in a criticism on one of
his pictured' exhibited in the Grosve
nor Gallery entitled "A Nocturne in
Black and Gold." The following is
the objectionable passage which was
the cause of the suit:
'Tor Mr. Whistler's sake, no less
than lor the protection of the pur
chaser, Sir Coutts Lindsay ought
not to have admitted works into the
gallery in which the ill-educated
conceit of the artist so nearly ap
proached the aspect of wilful im
posture. I have seen and heard much
of cockney impudence before now,
but never expected to hear a cox
comb ask two hundred guineas for
flinging a pot of paint in the pub
lie's face." (
The defense of Ruskin was that
the libel was privileged as being
bona fide and a fair criticism of
the painting in question.
When cross-examined by the attor
ney general, Whistler admitted that
he had sent pictures to the Royal
Academy which were not exhibited.
Also that he believed that this was
the experience of all artists.
"The picture, 'Arrangement in
Black and Gold," is a night view of
Cremorne with the fireworks. That
is the reason why I called it a noc
turne! It was for sale. I also
marked it at 200 guineas. It was a
good price, very likely a stiffish
pvice."
The complainant, also admitted that
he had completed the work in two
days. But it was, as Whistler said,
"not the 200 guineas for two days'
work, but for the result of the study
of a lifetime."
The attorney general then proposed
bringing the picture into court, but
this was over-ruled, and instead the
jurists went to the Grosvenor Gallery
and viewed all the various wo'.'ks of
the artist.
Various artists were brought into
the court to testify as to whether!
or not the picture was or was not as
Ruskin had said worth 200 guineas.
This left the jury as far off as ever,
for half decided one way and half
the other. If a person belonged to
the modern school the picture was
certainly worth the discussed price;
but if the witness was a believer In
the old English masters, then Whist
ler was a faker imposing on the
public.
Ruskin himself was far too ill to
attend the court. The word "cox
comb" was then looked up. What
vas a "coxcomb?" The attorney gen
eral had found that the word came
from the old idea of the licensed
jeste.-, who wore a cap and bells with
a cock's rtmb in it, and went about
making jests for the amusement of
his master and family.
"Air. Whistler," he said, "should
not complain If this were true, for
most of his pictures were capital
jokes and afforded much amusement
to the public."
An artist, Mr. Frith, R. A., was
then called. He said that the works
by Whistler that had been produced
in the court were works of avt. They
were certainly pretty and there was
a beautiful arrangement of color. But
co, indeed, a piece of silk had both
these qualities, but it was not a work
of art He also testified that Rus
kin was not partial -to Whistler
alone. The great favorite of Rus
kin, Turner, had had one of his

STATE HE PROHIBITION
The very Important issue of state
wide ' prohibition has been raised. A
campaign in favor of a constitutional
amendment will be shortly instituted.
This, like all other important ques
tions has two sides, on each of which
are found honest and intelligent per
sons. The Republican has decided to pro
vide for a reasonable discussion of
this issue in its pages, allowing to
each side at least a half column daily
for signed articles, for which there will
be no charge. No anonymous article
will be published.
It is only stipulated that the com
munications for and against prohibi
A SKETCH FROM REAL LIFE
"What makes you stand there?
Why don't you join in the proces
sion, mister?"
The man addressed turned his
head. He was . watching the long
line of temperance people march
down the street, with banners fly
ing and drums beating.
Just before, him stood a very little
bey,' his toes protruding from his
shoes, his hands blue and bare, and
his ragged coat flapping in the cold
November wind.
"Why don't you join in the pro
cession, mister?" again queried the
child. "The 'drys' are doin' their
best to help us out, don't you see?
Why don't you join 'em?"
The man glanced curiously at the
ragged mite of humanity before him,
pulled his fur overcoat a little clos
er about his form, and replied care
lessly: "Why, you see,' kid, I don't
join in the parade because the fact
is I don't belong to the 'drys.' I
vote the 'wet' ticket."
"You do?" questioned the shivering
child, giving the man a glance of as
tonishment. "You don't look like it,
one single bit," he continued, eyeing
the warm, fur-lined overcoat and the
spotless gloves.
"Why?" queried the gentleman,
whose curiosity was becoming arous
ed. "Why?"
"Cause you don't look like my
father. 'He votes 'wet,' too, and he
wears rags. . Mother says if he'd
vote 'dry' and stick to it, we could
have warm clothes and good things
to eat at our house. I wish he
would," concluded the little preach
er wistfully. "Don't you?"
"Why, of course I wish so, if it
pictures criticised. His "The Snow
storm" had been described as "a
mass of soapsuds and whitewash."
This was one of Turner's latest
works.
In summing up, Baron Huddleston
said that it was for the jury to de
cide whether the criticism was bona
fide or the result of personal malice.
The jury seriously retired, and be
ing out for more than an hour they
asked the learned judge for the
meaning of the words "wilful . im
posture." Once more retiring, they
came back with the verdict for the
plaintiff. The learned judge then
solemnly gave judgment for the
plaintiff damages one farthing (half
a cent) and without costs.

NOTED ARTIST WIS
TO SALT RIVER VALLEY
D. Ernest Randall of St. Paul May
Make Phoenix Home
Among the recent arrivals in Phoe
nix is D. Ernest Randall, an artist
of ability and reputation, who for
some time has been living in the
south westi n section of the United
States, taking advantage of the
splendid bracing climate that is here.
He came to 'Phoenix for the purpose
of making this bis winter home ana
will in all probability either devote
himself to art while here or rjve his
time to lyceum work, making a spe
cialty of superior chalk talks, in
which he is an expert of the first
class.
Mr. Randall is a graduate of the
Chicago Art Institute and was for
some time a director in the St. Paul,
Minn., Institute of Fine Arts. He
has a number of splendid evidences
of high artistic talent to his credit.
none the least of which is a splen
did bust of the late Governor John A.
Johnson of Minnesota, which he
made in 1911. The bust was so life
like that the friends of the governor
and Mrs. Johnson also accepted It as
a likeness. This after it became
known that the bust was made from
photographs and not from either a
life or death mask.
Mr. Randall is also a newspaper
cartoonist of ' ability and excels in
fine line work for newspaper Illus
trating. He has in the small collec
tion he brought with him a number
of fine samples of this sort of work.
The man himself is a quite retiring
young fellow with a studious face
and courteous, modest air. That he
will make many friends in Phoenix
is already predicted by those with
whom be has come in contact.

would help you any, my little man;
but don't you see, sonny, that it
would make hard times for every
body, if all the saloons were to shut
up? Now you don't want any harder
times than these, do you?"
"No, mister; but I don't believe the
times would be any harder at our
house, if father would only work,
instead of stayin' at the saloon all
day and spendin' all he can get
hold of on whisky. That's what I
think," declared the child, turning
his blue, pinched features a little
more to the slanting light of the dim
November afternoon. ,
"Yes, child, it may be so. But
don't you see, if all the saloons were
closed, there would be ever so many
men out of employment, and then "
"I don't know anything about the
other men, but I know this much if
the saloons was all closed, my father
couldn't get in, and so maybe he
would go to work. Mother thinks he
would; and O, say, mister, she says,
if the- 'drys' beat this year, it won't
be but a little while before she can
get me a new suit of clothes! Don't
you think I need 'em?"
"The man brushed the back of his
hand across his eyes, and remarked
something about their being a little
weak.
"Say, don't you think you'll vote
'dry' this year, mister, after all?
'Cause I want them new clothes so
bad do you see?"
"Yes, yes, I do see, my little man;
and God helping me, I have cast my
last vote in favor of the accursed
traffic that takes the very clothes
from the backs of helpless children,
and food from the mouths of th
hungry." -

tivation of trout than that of our
plant at Salt Lake City," said S. E.
Cotterrell, manager of the new com
pany, yesterday. "At the higher al
titude we can produce seven-inch
trout in nine months, but I see no
reason why we should not be able
to accomplish the same result here
in two months less time. It is the
long freezing temperature that re
tards the growth of the fish."
The new plant will have a capacity
of 600,000 trout per year, and the
company will be prepared to supply
plenty of mountain trout to the ho
tels of this and neighboring states.
Arrangements already have been
made whereby the company has the
option of supplying the Harvey din
ing service along the Santa Fe with
Arizona trout. The plant at Salt
Lake City, managed by the Cotter
rell brothers, has been in operation
for the last fifteen years.
