AN ECHO IN SMILE.

1t is to be distinctly understood
that this country has no nor ceased
to be the banana belt, han that the
sceptre has departed from Israel.
Along the belted horizon the same
sweet music of the spheres is blown
amuck, and the drama Of life skips
gracefully along the hill tops and in
the valleys where untold life springs
into life at the touch of the hand of
the skillful tiller of the soil, Perish
the thought, that because iowa has
failed to bring the juicy, mellow
banana in mature response to this
touch, that, therefore, our own and
only South Dakota has not responded
to the intensely human demand
upon it's natural resources. 1t is
said that "time and tide wait for no
man. and up from the inscrutable
meshes of the past springs the
banana belt" in the newness of life,
bringing a hope that never ''maketh
the heart SICK" and binding the
cauterized wounds of the past with
the glorious hopes that find fruition
for the future-in the banana belt

with apologies to the Minneapolis Tri-

Fellow Citizens-The most poignant
posture of agony known to man or Wis.
ioned by art, is when shame shadows
and paralyzes, when the victim and the
sufferer are unconscious and innocent OF
guilt.
1.-The republic has not merited the
fearful agony which now ~conyulses the
entire and Individual life of all the PEG,
pie. If we had been stricken from with
out n borders, the republic would
have kindled a resistance unknown &c
the ages.
''But the cause of our sorrow comes
from one of our own citizens--we ar,
more deeply wounded than ever before
in III eventful history. We sit IN
shame and the sorrow of our shame
What can mortal mai say in the pres
ence of the dead body of the Lest-be
loved of the republic?
