out of the black night of war Into the
light o. that day when swords shall
be beaten into plowshares.'
why not make that honor ours?
Some day-why not now the nations
will learn that enduring peace can not
be built upon fear: that good does not
grow upon the stalk Of violence. Some.
day the nations will place their trust
in love, the weapon for which there is
20 shield; in love, that suffereth long
and is kind; in love, that is not easily
provoked. that beareth all things, be-
lieveth all things. hopeth all things.
endureth all things; love which, tho
despised as weakness by worshippers
of Mars, abideth when all else fails.

was taken in opposition to the order Of
the state banking department, re-
| luiring that so per cent Of the re-

: bankers in this section of the state,
mostly interested in state banks, at

deem National bank and South Da-
kota member of the federal reserve

pf the guaranty board attended the
meeting and explained the order, at
tempting to justify the departments
action.
After Mr.. Liens address, an old
fashioned experience meeting was held
IN which practically every banker pres
ent participated and the practically
unanimous sentiment Of the bankers
appeared to % that the new rule would
disrupt established relations.
A committee, composed Of Messrs.
Watkins, Verlander, Mather, Meyers and
Bark, was appointed to draft resolu-
tions protesting against the proposed
action of the department and instruct
Ing them, or as many Of them as could
go, to take the memorial thus prepared
