Whittier wrote this stanza thirty-fve
years ago, when Minnesota was q territory,
and because of her then wonderfully rapid
growth. But it fits South Dakota to-day:
The ruiiments of empire hero
Are plastic yet .n. wa.nl;
Tho chaos of a mighty world
Just rounding into form.
Another stanza of Whittier's "Goine
Ahead" fits a quartet of capital candidates:
Behind the scared squaw's birch canoo
The steamer smokes and rnves;
And CITY lots are staked for sale
Above old indian cruycS.
