Parker-At last nights meeting of
the Parker commercial club 1t was
decided to affiliate with the other
clubs of the county in pushing
through u cross county road. which
will be equal to anything In the
state. According to the state law,
$2.25 of every SO paid In auto.
tax, remains within the county, and
the intention is to use this money,
which totals several hundred dollars,
to build this cross county road. The
road will begin at Centerville, come
to Parker, via Viborg and Hurley.

Sioux Talls-It has been learned
that George s. Babb, who was killed
at Wakonda on July 4 by being struck
in the eye by a ~skyrocket. only about
80 days before his tragic death took
out a life insurance policy for g, 900
in one Of the big eastern companies,
through the state agent of the com
pany in Sioux Falls. Proof of death
now has been sent to the headquarters
OF the company and in a few days the
heirs OF the dead man will receive the

Springfield Winter wheat harvest
is on in this vicinity, the yield of
which promises to be twenty FIVE
bushels per acre. All other crops are
looking fine. spring wheat not so
good, but will probably make fifteen
bushels. oats from forty to fifty. Corn
never looked better at this time of
year, with nearly enough moisture in
the ground to make the crop without
any more rain. South Dakota rains
were local this year and Bonhomme
county certainly has had it's share up
to date, and at about the right time.
and the result will be the largest
crop both in quantity and price that
was ever grown in the county.

WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY -. 1911:
THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS.

One Of the nohlest things in the
English language is Lincoln's Gettys-
burg address. Simple in language az
II is lofty in sentiment, how many
hundreds of thousands of times has it
been delivered from the platform, and
how many hundreds of times has II
secn murdered by an unnatural strain
lng after effect by the declaimer.
The composition is notable for its
dignity. its simplicity and its solem-
nifty. And yet speakers have ranted
it and shouted it as if they were de-
claiming Horatius at the Bridge or
the battle cry Of Marco Bozarris. The
thought in the mind Of those who
have been guilty Of this style of de-
livery has evidently been that in order
to get the impression Of strength and
force one nus use a. club, and WELD
1t Justify.
That address was delivered out of
a full heart. The scene was that Of
one Of the greatest battles of the war.
The occasion was the dedication OF
the very earth which had been made
rcd with the blood of dying MEN to
the memory Of the cause in which
their blood was shed. and Lincoln also
made 1t the occasion Of a reconsecra-
ton to the highest ideals of the peo-
pie. In the delivery Of such an ad-
dress there could have been no shout
ing. and no posing. There could have
been no striving after effect. and no
paving the air with frantic gestures.
It's spirit in that is simple. unaffected.
quiet earnestness, and 1t is to be re-
gretted that in so many Of the public
readings of the wonderful lines, more
of that spirit is not manifest. Occa-
sionally one hears the address deliv-
cred as n may imagine its author
to have wished it delivered. and when
once heard in such a manner the ex-
perience will not soon be forgotten.

The reported action of the govern
ment in refusing permission to a pri-
vate company to establish a wireless
station at Honolulu. appears to he wise.
The wireless transmission Of electric
current differs from any other form Of
commercial enterprise. There is no
reason why an individual should be
denied the right of clicking a tele.
graph instrument on his own proper
ty. There is no reason why he should
not run his wires wherever the owners
Of property traversed will permit. But
when n operates a wireless outfit
he is sending abroad waves of electric
|ity which cross every mans property
in their path, which cross public high
ways. and which may and often do af-
feet the operation of similar stations
located at great distances. 1t is evil
dent that over such a thing the gov
eminent can and should assume juris-
diction. 1t is proper for the govern
ment to establish conditions under
which private operators may work. and
to punish violations Of those regula-
tons by appropriate penalties. In the
Hawaiian ase it is a part Of the plan
Of the government to establish there a
station Of its own. to operate in con-
nection with great stations on this
continent. and it is proper for it to re-
serve the power to do SO without in
reference from other stations estab.
lished by private interests. 1t will un-
doubtedly be necessary, in order to
avoid confusion. to establish some sort
Of international control, over all large
stations.
