The following editorial tributes to the late Editor
ASA Wallace have been taken from both the weekly
and daily papers of the state They attest the
larity of former editor and show the esteem in
which he was held in the newspaper profession. The
clippings follow:
Asa Wallace Has Gone
One Of the best known figures in country journal
alism in Minnesota, Asa Wallace, of Sank Centre has
turned in his final bit Of copy and gone meet his
Maker. For over fifty years Mr. Wallace had been
identified with newspaper work in this state and
was complete If Wallace missing. He was an
apostle of good cheer and fellowship and believed
that life to be enjoyed.
He was one Of the best toast masters at BAN
quet table that ever lived. He had keen of
humor and ready wit besides having the faculty of
being able to laugh at joke himself He was a
booster for the home town and for the Ten Thousand
Lakes of Minnesota at all times and in this
ton worked ardenty for the Babcok road system and
for better roads to this section Of the state Many
Review readers will probably recall the time shortly
after Sinclair Lewis had made 'Main Street" famous
how Asa Wallace went to New York City with the
National Editorial Association dts annual conven-
ton and upon being interviewed by metropolitan
daily reporters-since citizens from Sank Centre
then in the lime hght-he secured columns of favor
able front page publicity for this section of Mime
sofa by pointing out that great the attrac-
ions Of New York City, the harbor and Coney Island
the attractions of Minnesota and it's Ten Thousand
Lakes still greater.
Sank Centre has suffered big loss in the death
of Mr. Wallace He human, he had his faults
and his weaknesses and who among us hasn't but we
make life more enjoyable for the rest OF his
thusiasm for his work, and his constant devotion to
advancing those projects that meant much in the de-
velopment Of this section of the state-Osakis Re
view.
y u u
Few men could have been taken from the front
rank of Minnesota newspaperdom, and left greater
void than Asa Wallace has. This gallant editor who
put Sank Centre on the map for many years. had the
rare faculty of making even his political enemies
love him personally because he was so human He
was real friend, but he was also loyal to his
convictions and failed to let the world know
exactly where he stood every public issue. He
among the half-dozen editors who made the
State Editorial association what It is today-the
greatest newspaper association in the United States
He was a truly useful citizen-a genuine American
