Their first day in Minneapolis had
been delightful in all respects, beauti-
full and pleasant" was the consensus
of sentiment of the members of the
South Dakota Editorial association last
evening. If 100 country editors agree
upon one proposition, mark it down,
that statement is based upon no false
premises. Yesterday these premises
were numerous, happily arranged and
successfully carried out. A carriage
drive in the morning, a rest under the
shades of Minnehaha Falls in the af
ternoon, with little business-a very
httle-a supper and a few merry
speeches in the evening and a final
trolley ride with a comic opera to wind
up the days jollity. These were the
days events in brief, and a happy day
it was.
The annual meeting which opened
yesterday is the thirteenth in the his

periods, even when the depressions in

pied with pleasing arrangement of
tables, at which about a hundred were
seated. The menu was printed upon
golden tinted paper, typical of the corn
and wheat of which the South Da-
kotans are so deservedly proud The
great seal of the commonwealth adorn-
ed the front cover, and upon the back
was a monogram composed of entwined
grains and grasses, with something of
the beautiful wild prairie flowers of the
plains.
The speechmaking was brief, pointed
and witty, as a country newspaper
crowd is wont to be at moments Of
leisure. Editor ]. S. McLain, of the
Journal, presided. He expressed his de-
light at meeting the men whose work
the newspaper men of Minneapolis had
followed from year to year, and gave
them hearty greeting on behalf of the
fraternity of the Minneapolis press

as the Sanaging editor of one of the
MinneaPSA banks. His mood was
happy indeeA and he jollied the editors
cordially as the brainiest men with the
most beautiful wives he had ever met
THE brevity of speech and of this
spread is no indication of the warmth
of our greeting" said Mr.. Wyman,
and he drifted into an exposition of the
editors life from the point of view of
one who knew thereof.
Editor c. r. Tinan, of the Kimball

the association, responded for the or

the country editor was the whole thing,

village band or a Methodist prayer
