From the northern boundary of Minnesota down to elongated Illinois ° the past few days and nights have been filled with just about every- thing in the shape of moisture that can be wrung from the skies. Pelt- ing rains have merged -into stinging sleet and this in turn has given way to snow, and never was falling snow more beautiful. There’s a reason. Sunny skies, balmy - breezes; un- folding flowers and twittering birds, “the breezy. call of incense breathing morn,” are all right at times and may combine to make a fine and dandy spring—but not yet. Winter lingers in the lap of spring and from the plodding farmer to the overfed capitalist of the cities the northwest joins in ome glad shout,— “Good boy, Old Winter.” And then all unite in the hope that he will stick around long enough to again moisten the earth with his icy tears, and that when his sobs have been thawed into rain drops by gentle spring, the sky will continue to leak until the soil is-once more soaked, the brooks again:gurgling, the rivers murmuring, the wells giv- ing out bountiful supplies: and all thing enlivened by = the from the heavens. It is said that the real amount of good resulting from ‘the moisture which has fallen within the past week can not be computed, that every snow flake and every rain drop re- presented a dollar each, and while that may be placing it a little high— with Canadian reciprocity threaten- ed—the total value of the precipita- tion is great emough to warrant the prevailing impression that the soil is being put into a splendid shape for a bountiful crop. The touch of winter is timely in- asmuch as it holds back the ambi- tious flowers and fruit ‘trees, carry- ing them on until there can be little danger of a recurrence of what hap- pened last year when many a sprout- ing twig, budding flower and tree was given a frost which the warmth of subsequent suns failed to suscitate. draughts re- ——— WILL HE EVER MAKE THAT SPEECH?¢ “Not. until he has offered a com- plete and unrestricted apology - for his slander against Jefferson Davis will the doors of my city be open to Theodore Roosevelt,” was the posi- tion assumed by the mayor of a Texas town which had extended the former president an invitation ‘to speak: Can anyone emagine about” what | makes a speech in this if the above conditions hered to? Roosevelt may fay things that shouldn’t;be said but up-to -!uw de thas never been: !trowg gies. In fact, it may Iprépqmly‘ be “apology” in the Roosevelt vocabu- lary.

The suzrender-:of Lee at Appamattox ended: the - fighting spirit of his men and they resigned, wentbackto their. farms, villages and cities, citizens of ‘the United 'States, but determined to.- perpetuate- the memory of “The Lost Cause.” When in 1908 the bugles sounded a call to arms:to repress;a tyrant from across the waters, no part of the country made quicker response:than Dixie and what is more; battle-scar- red generals .who had once planned campaigns. for the -tottering. govern- ment of Jeff Davis, buckled ion 'their old swords,- but now.in uniforms of tlue, lead the-armies. of -the United States. And so, with this -sort-of a feeling prevalent in both the . North and South, such attempts as the one made lations between - the must fail.

The soil in this part of the coun- try will grow anything that.can be grown in the northern country. It is only a matter of getting the soil into shape, of subduing the wildness and putting it to the uses of civiliza- tion.

Difference in Soil. A southern Minnesota editor is be- wailing the fact that settlers pass by the lands of that section and go on to the new lands of the northern part of the state. The same editor forgets that the land seeker can get land for one-fourth or one-fifth the price in the newer sections, and get virgin soil at that. There is a tre- mendous - difference. between virgin soil at $25 an acre and exhausted soil at $100.° But we join ' our southern brother: in his lament be- cause there are 8o unreasonably. many that pass up Minnesota. altngeu:ér.-,- Cloquet Independent.
