DISAY0WS RELATIONSHIP
Charged With Libel Newspaper Mar
Denies His Official Connection
With Publication

Sioux Falls. Editor Day, of the Ar
gus-Leader, in his efforts to dodge ser
vice in a libel suit brought by Dick
Richards, has placed his paper and HIM
self in a rather ridiculous position be-
fore the state.
H. Editor Day, it seems, recently execu-
ted an affidavit in support of a motion
made by the Argus-Leader company's
attorney, Mr.. kittredge, to squelch the
legal service In the 'e made upon Ed
ltor Day as presi' Of that company
by the sheriff of Minnehaha county on
February 10.
Editor Day, it seems, first admitted
Service publicly on that very day by
boastfully publishing the following ac-
count OF the service on the front page
OF his paper with an apparent air of
pride ar being sued:
'C' es M. Day, president Of the
Argus-Leader company, and editor Of
this payer, was this afternoon served
with the complaint in an action for
libel brought by R. O.. Richards, Of
Huron.'
Now comes Editor Day and files the
affidavit referred to above and swears
that he is not nov and never has been
officially connected with the Argus.
Leader company, and is not its manag.
ing editor.
Rich""ds' attorneys by way of reply
introdu, ID the published admission of
service and also a certified copy of a
deed made by the Argus-Leader com
pany Of a year ago and executed by
Charles M. Day as president of that
company, conveying a house and lot in
Sioux Falls, given as one of the sub
script'on premio s at that time. The
question naturally ari~'s: Did Editor
Day commit forgerT in signing the deed
as president Of that company, or did
he commit perjury in swearing to that
atidavit9 The reckless attacks and
misrepresentation made of Mr.. Rich
ards and Governor Wesley by Editor
Day now makes him dodge trial of the
case before the primaries, fearing the
testimony would brand the unreliabii-
ty Of the Argus and damage the stall
wart cause and establish the honorable
efforts of both Mr.. Richards and Gov
ernor Wesley in unsel6shly working in
the interest of the state.

RECORD OF MARTIN AND BURKE

In the recent memorable fight in the
house of representatives, which resulted
in the elimination of Speaker Cannon
from the committee on rules, the record
Of the members of South Dakota is Of
interest to the people of this state. The
following is compiled from the Con-
gressional Records:
"The fight lasted through three
Adays. During this time there were ff-
teen recorded roll calls. Representative
Burke voted with Speaker Cannon, and
the stalwarts on every roll call of the
fifteen.
During the first two days there were
nine roll calls. Representative Mar
tin voted with the Cannon forces on all
these. On the third day he switched
back and forth from one side to the
other.
The last days votes opened up with
a motion to lay on the table an ap-
peal from the decision of Speaker Can
non. Martin voted against this, against
the Cannon forces, and the motion was
lost, 162 to 1872.
Then the previous question was
moved on appeal from the Speakers
decision. Martin voted with the AN
non forces against this, but it was car
ried by a vote Of 1872 to 161.
4ucu the vote came ulTcCL Ou dppodl
from the Speakers decision. Martin
voted with the insurgents on this which
carried 1872 to 60.
This left the House open for offering
amendment to the rules, which was
done.
The first vote was a motion for the
previous question. Martin voted with
the Cannon forces against the previous
question, but it was carried by $50 to
l5e.
Then the substitute motion amend
ing the rules was carried by a vote of
1913 to 1853, Martin voting with the in
surgents.
The fnal vote on the Norris resolu-
ton as amended was carried by a vote
of 100 to 157, Martin voting with the
ine"rgents.'
From the foregoing the legitimate
conclusions are: First that Mr.. Burke
voted with Cannon and the stalwarts
from start to finish, second: Martin
voted the same until the outcome was
practically settled, and then got on the
insurgent band wagon.
Query7 Is Burke entitled to the votes
of the insurgent republicansi
Querya Is Martin entitled to the
votes Of either progressives or stalwarts
or both, or neitherf

The long hours hidden in the hay
were not even weary hours to him.

true incident of the Reformation. 1T

Every florist that grows her own
lilies and other plants for the Easter
festival should be giving some active
thought and attention to that phase
of Horticulture now. Easter Will be
here almost before we know 1T, and
no one wants to be without few
decorative plants for that occasion.
Those who have made practically no
preparation can get a supply or the
quickly maturing bulbs from the
nearest florist and begin work with
them with the assurance that they
will furnish blossoms in time FOR the
purposes Intended, says the Woman s
Magazine. 1t depends much upon the
condition in which the lilies have
been kept as to what treatment
should be given them, but it is prob
ably none too early to begin forcing
them little and getting them in
good shape and active readiness for
blossoming at the time blossoms are
wanted. Easter is floral occasion
and there is little excuse for any one
being without flowers when that time
arrives.

Flowers Appropriate to Easter.

Apart from its religious signifi-
canoe, Easter is the spring festival,
and the real flowers of early spring,
the tulip, the daffodil, the wild ar
butus, are its more appropriate floral
symbols. We derive our name for 1t
from Ostara, the Saxon goddess OF
the East and the daw1. N Latin
countries they cling to variants of the
Aramic "pesach" (passover) as pas
cua, pasqua, paques. If there is such
a flower as the Resurrection lily 1t
must be the small purple lily of Pal
estine.
AS a matter of fact, when the lily
is mentioned in other seasons, we
never think of Easter. "Consider the
lilies of the field" Solomon, in all
his glory, was not so arrayed. Flow
ers gorgeous in color are brought 10

Pagan in Origin.

Most of the popular observances of
the day which the church partly
adopted by introducing them into its
Easter services are clearly Of pagan
origin. Eastertide, long before Boni-
face brought the Gospel to the Ger
mans, was period of JOY and jubila-
ton. Spring had arrived. Ostara,
the bright and victorious divinity, had
conquered Brighter and warmer
days assured the regeneration of ma
ture. Mans hope and activity re-
vived. Like the Ushas of their Hindu
cousins in far-off Asia, Ostara, the
youthful goddess, danced for joy, a
symbolical belief which the church
adopted in the legend that the lamb
was seen on Eastern Sunday frisking
in the rays Of the rising sun at dawn.

Claerche1, the little daughter of
Brentius of Wurtemberg, burst into
the room where her father sat bend
ing over the old black-letter Bible,
her eyes wide and staring and her
face as white as chalk.
Her father rose quietly without
haste or apparent fear. He closed
the great Bible carefully and lifted
it back to its place.

A tremendous knocking on the cas-
tie gate sounded even as he spoke.
The holders had arrived with their
warrant. But Brentius of Wurtem-
berg was not hurried or disconnected.
He calmly bent and kissed the white,
agonized face upturned t. him and
even stopped to drop kiss on the
soft hair.
