The article which will be read with
interets IL South Dakota, is as
follows:
The editor returned from his

somewhat fatigued over so siren.
nous a trip but very much taken uI
with the country.
South Dakota is surely an(
truly a wonderful state and those
who imagine it a barren waste Of
land have several guesses still
coming. It's wonderful grazing
lands, its fertile fields of grain, it:
bouuteous crops, its mining inter
ests, its beautiful cities and it:
we'll kept homes but better thar

are imbued with their spirit O
progressiveness that is bound t,
bring their state to the front ranl
Of states within the next fv'
years. When we went to Soutl
Dakota we had printed a little calt
with our map of Illinois, on tn
back of it showing Milford to b
the only place on the map, but be
fore we had been in the stat
twenty-four hours, those SOutl
Dakotans had us back in a corne
and in doubt. Every night be
fore we retired we quietly stole t
the smoking compartment of on
car and tried all the tests know,
to the medical fraternity as to on
sanity. We were fearful that W
might be losing our mind, the
filled us up so and with the won
ders of the country, and had tn
goods to back it up, that it will b
many years before we get it out @
our system. In fact we are abou
homesick to go back right now
There is plenty of room out Their
for many thousands of people an

From the time we struck Siou
Falls until we said goodbye a

pressed with all we saw and niue
we heard, and while we will hay
more to say the next trip within
the next few weeks we are fearfr
that the great trouble will be i
making our readers believe it.
But this much can we say to tn

Sunday morning for the third time
within the short space of twelve
months it was said A man was killed
in OkoIona last night" And, sad as
it is, the truth vas told. In two of
these killings whiskey played a more
or less prominent part. and in two the
man killed met his death while per.
lornaa5 u.s auty.
The killing Of Mr.. Brazil Saturday
night was in no sense an encounter
between man and man but a clash
between an officer Of the law who
dared 10 do his sworn duty as he saw
it and aman made into an anarchist by
bad whiskey and over indulgence.
1t is said the men we're friends. But
what counts friendship when you
come in contact with a spoiled child
grown into a holy terror, just here lies
the fault. Officers too often wink at
small offences and allow infractions
OF the law to 50 unpublished until re.
spect is lost for civil authority and the
individual sets up his own will as his
law and openly dehes the powers
that be.
The failure Of the authorities to Ell.
force the law is responsible for a very
large per cent Of the crimes committed
This is borne out by Statistics, for il
those countries where punishment
surely follows crime there are few in.
fractions Of the law.
That The officers do not enforce the
law is a sad fact; hal they can not is
