THE CAPITOL LANDS.

The suit which has been Instituted to
stop work on the new capitol in order
that the seat Of state government may
be located upon the states land in
Kandiyohi county is simply a farce.
St. Paul is the proper place for the
capitol, where all the railroads center.
It would be fun to hunt up the state
house over in Kandiyohi county. The
The state should sell that land and
put stop to this foolishness.-Lo
Prairie Argus.
The above is a glaring example
of how some country editors will
write squibs without devoting
one single thought on the subject
they write about. Hunt up
the state capitol! Why, if it were
hidden away in the remotest unin-
habited portion of the state, the
place, we dare say, in few weeks
from now would fairly swarm
with Republican cuckoo editors
all desirious of a job of cleaning
spittoons or holding a door dur
ing the ninety days to follow.
"St. Paul is the proper place for
the capitol. where all the rail.
roads center" Profound wis
dom! How is it that, for in
stance, the capitol of Illinois is
not located at Chicago, wher,
.'all the railroads center.'! And
the same may be said of the
states of New York, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Missouri, Wisconsin,
ETC., each Of which has a metro
polls, to which "all the railroads
CENTER" but which prefer to keep
their legislators away from the
corrupting influences of the BIZ,
cities, where all the big corpora
tons have their lairs. If for in.
stance, the capitol of Minnesota
were located in Kanaiyohi
county, the lobbies could not be
crowded with general solicitors
and influential representatives of
big corporations without attract
ing notice, which would put peo
pie on their guard, but where it
is at present, in a few minutes
notice the big guns of corporate
wealth Can crowd the Hobbies Of
the capitol to influence legislation
without attracting any consider
able attention. It does beat all
how short-sighted some editors
who have country constituencies
are. How can the state lose any
thing should the present lawsuit
be successful? The best result
hoped for is to have the matter
settled by a direct vote of the
people. But what hope is there
of having matters settled right
by the people when ''moulders of
public opinion" are unable to see
above the tamaracks and jack
pines in the swamps that sur
round them, but will prefer to
have the state taxed heavily for
a site and building, when it could
have the same erected on the site
originally set aside for the pur-
pose, and make money ont of the
operation instead Of being taxed
millions. This lawsuit is net a
farce, but a bold stand by a few
individuals for the rights of the
people, ;and the editor who be-
littles the attempt is a traitor to
the best interests Of the stat,
whether he knows ii or not.
