rHr DAKOTA WAY.

The story which comes from South
Dakota--it may not be true--of the
scheme for controlling the location Of
the Capital of that State well illustrates
the progressive character OF Dakota
politics The plan, In brief, is as fol.
lows: corporation has been organized
with capital stock of 81 100000. The
capital stock Is divided into 100, 900
shares of $40 each, and these are to be
sold TO the voters of the Territory, and
when all the stock Is taken the com
pany will make purchase of large
tract of landst such city or place as
seems to offer the best inducements and
have the most favorable chance Of Sc
curing the location of the Capital.
Then, by notifying their stockholders
throughout the Territory Of the place
selected for investment, they secure
the votes of all the stockholders and
The scheme is accomplished.
Where but In daring progressive Da-
kota could such scheme have been
devised and put into execution 1t is
fascinating in its acute simplicity. 1t

veys the idea of getting there" In an
open, defiant and breezy way, which is

kotas get fairly into national politics as

other method. SO far, this word has
not been found Various terms have
been suggested, but none seems to fill
the bill, so to speak The word should
be one which, IL possible, may be used
by change either as verb or noun, and
none has been offered meeting this re-
qnirement gracefully. Here is situa-
