LOSS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

The total lard holdings of the State outside of
Mitchelps section are 2342, ,37S acres practically
all OF which would be damaged in price if the
of Mitchels knocker campaign-because. Of
course the demand for all South Dakota lands
would be seriously reduced by such an indorse-
ment by the voters, and it is demand that makes
price.
The average price at which the States lands
have sold during the past fifteen years is $14.60
per acre.
For every dollar that this average price Of
$l4 60 per acre might be reduced, THE STATE
the public institutions and schools would be
deprived Of their share OF the interest," or the tax
payers would have to make it up by direct levies.

Thus it will be seen that the real cost of capital
removal would be much more than merely the
that it certainly would be millions Of dollars in
the loss Of proceeds from sale of the States lands
And to this is to be added also the loss due to
assessment rolls of the State, by reason of their
being allowed to remain undeveloped and unim-
proved.

FOR A RATIONAL FOURTH,

The press Of the country, with COM

The nrecracker, the toy pistol, the tor

that, in a few hours, over 900 Boston

Americans killed and wounded In that
battle did not exceed $50 50 that Bos-

on the 18th OF July l716. description
Of this event is found In the American

AMERICA now,
New York Evening Post.

Secretary Hay has ordered the words
United States 10 be stricken from the
seals Of all our embassies and consul
ates, Henceforth we are to be known
simply as America" There are many
United states" fact which leads,
II Is said, 10 a great deal OF confusion in
foreign countries The motive behind
the change is undoubtedly one OF COM
venience. IL would not be surprising,
however II the administration We're
more or less unconsciously affected by
the added sense of Importance which
this country has acquired in the last
few years. But there can be no real
objection TO our change of name, II it
does not stir up III feeling among our
neighbors To the south, They have al
ways called themselves Americans"
and In their hot-headed way, may ex-
claim among themselves. There Is now
only one America, and bye and bye
there may be only one United States"

Secretary Hay Is an accomplished
scholar and diplomat and his order
may be correct IN directing that on all
the record books and seals hereafter
used by our diplomatic and consular
representatives. In foreign countries
their Offices should be designated as the
American legation or the American
consulate, instead OF using the term
United states legation or United states
consulate, as hitherto. II s neverthe-
less true that IN Europe the new desig-
nation must be as confusing to foreign
ers as the old one was. A good deal OF
America is located outside Of our Unit
ed States, and II seems rather presump-
tuous for Secretary Hay TO assume that
such Ii not the case. as he practically
does In this order, There are also 9TH
or American governments on this con-
tinent besides our own, And there are
other united states, Accurately speak
ing, we are the United States Of Amer
Tea, and we ought to call ourselves so
officially.

II Secretary Hay wishes to use the
word America" or American instead
Of "the United states" on seals and em-
bassy stationery and things nobody is
going to make fight over 1t, But the
deslrablity OF the change Is not OBJ
vious The argument for It Is that there
are other United States" such as the
United States OF Colombia. So there
are other Americas than the United

South America and Central America.

sings nerrily, just as Q Tome laughed
when he told her of the music Of her
voice. Now, wherever. in the world
there is a brook, it laughs the happy
laugh, and sings to the grasses and
the reeds and the trees. And all this
is the happy laugh of>O Tome
"But, as it is written by the gods,
happiness cannot last forever and for
ever, and there came time when the
great chief called the husband of o
Tome to go away to fight III the wars
which the chief was making against
his enemies And the husband of O
Tome went away to fight the enemies
of the great chief, but before the hus-
band of 0 Tome went away to fight
the enemies of the great chief, he
kissed 0 Tome, on the lips he kissed
her, and before that time there had
been no kiss. Nowhere in the world
had there ever been a kiss, and since,
even, there has been no kiss in all
Japan, save only the kiss which the
mother gives her child before he is
grown up to be man.
Now, when the husband kissed 0

Tome great crimson came into her
| lips, and when he asked why this
was, 0 Tome said it was the blood of
her heart which loved him, come to
tell him of her love. Thus, you must
| see, was there the first color of Grim
| SON
"And when the husband of 0 Tome
| had gone away to the wars, she was
left alone in the hut on the mountain
side over against the place where the
| brook comes down-the brook which
laughed always merrily, though the
heart OF 0 Tome was sad, and there
was no happy laugh upon her lips
ever again.
Upon a day messengers brought
word that the husband of 0 Tome
had been slain in the wars which the
great chief was making against his
enemies. Then O Tome built q great
fire, and standing in the midst of this
she drew sword across her white
| throat, ard the blood Of her heart
came out of the wound and made
great crimson sp1ashes.
Then, when her beautiful body was
| all in ashes, there came priest from
a temple somewhere and took the
ashes and threw them into the air,
that they might be blown by the
winds to all the parts Of the earth
The winds were south winds, sweet
and soft, and wonderful-like the
heart and the spirit Of D Tome, who
loved her husband who was slain in
the wars of the great chief And the
winds caught the ashes, and took them
everywhere, and sprinkled them low
ingly on all the trees which grew in
all the wOrld-everywhe the sweet
winds took the ashes, and sprinkled
them.
Nov, till that time there had been
30 springtime, but when the ashes Of
the beautiful body of o Tome fell
upon the trees there came flowers
forth, and the flowers were pink and
white, and III the heart Of them there
was a crimson color"
For a space K1Ku San. the Cat with
the Yellow Eyes. sat silent, purring
thunderously-m ditative.
Again he spoke:
"And so, he said you VIII under
stand how the color and the ligAt and
the music came into the world, fo~ in
the cherry blossom is the pink Of he
! blush which came into the cheek of .
of her beauty. And in the light which
is the white of the blossom is the
light Of the sun, which shone in the
skin Of 0 Tome in the sun when her
husband praised her. And in the
crimson of the blossom is the crimson
of the blood of the heart of o Tome
which came to her lips when her hus-
band kissed her-the first kiss ever in
all the world And the beauty Of the
blossom is the beauty of 0 Tome
herself-and she was the most beauti-
full thing in all the world, where there
had been no beauty till the time she
came to live with her husband on the
mountain side over against the place
where the brook comes down-laugh-
ing.
"And the music in the trees is the
music Of the laugh Of 0 Tome, and it
is brought by the south wind-the
same south wind that carried her ashes
into the tree tops, and there made the
blossom of the cherry"

How the Cherry Blossom Came to Be.

How the Cherry Blossom Came to Be.
Upon a Day, when the spring came,
and the Cherry Blossom c1ouded ali
the mountain about Yamato, Kik1
San, the Cat with the Yellow Eyes,
purred thunderously underneath the
trees, where he lay summing himself
in the glorious day.
And Kiku San spoke of the legend
of the Cherry Blossom, thus:
You must know" he said, "in the
Before-time- before there were
trees on the mountains, and long be-
fore there was music in the brooks,
there was no pink color. In all the
world there was no pink color at all
anywhere. The mountains were brown
and gray, and in the valleys there was
only green. Even in the skies there
was no color-but only gray gloom.
That was in the Before-time
Then, once, there came a man and
his wife, and they lived on the noun
tain side, over against the place where
the brook comes down, in hut built
of stones which he fetched to make
shelter from the gray storms of the
mountain.
Nov, the wife of the man was the
most beautiful woman in all the world
Nowhere had ever been seen one so
beautiful And this was in the Before
time, too-long before the flowers
came in the land, and there was no
such word as flower. How, indeed,
could there be, for with no thing to
name, how could names be? | ask
you that
"In this Before-time there were
many people in the land which is Nip
pom now, but they were wild people,
and a rude, and they spoke of naught
but war, and they made war, each with
his neighbor, always and always.
They spoke of no beauty and of no
good and no love and no color-war,
always.
Nov, for the first time, when the
man brought his wife to five on the
mountain side, was there speech of
love; he spoke to her of love and Of
beauty, and when he spoke to her of
her own beauty, she blushed, rosy red
and SO for the first time in all the
world there was the color of pink.
"And again he spoke to her of beau-
ty-of the delicate freshness of her
skin. And he spoke to her, too, Of her
hair, wondrously fine and fair, like
the lines of light which came with the
sun. For you must know that there
were no lines of light, and there was
no sunshine anywhere in all the world
till o Tome came with her husband to
live on the mountain side over against
the place where the brook comes
down
"And again he spoke to her, but
this time it was of the music in her
voice. And until he told her of that
there had been no music in all the
world. So, when he spoke to her Of
music she laughed happy laugh,
and when she laughed her happy
laugh, the brook began to sing. And
from that day, when O Tome laughed
her happy laugh, the brook has sung
merrily, and every brook, everywhere,
