CAPITAL REMOVAL TALK

Canistota Clipper: The first thing
the legislature should do after dis
posing of the capital removal bill is
to get at it and fix up the divorce
law. AS it now stands the people Of
the state certainly cannot ''point
with pride" to that portion. of the
code which governs divorce proceed
ings.
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: When
we settle the capital location question
this time let us settle it for good
by erecting a splendid capitol build
ing.
Yankton Gazette: Talking about
the center, Pierre never will be in
the center of population Of South
Dakota. With a line across from
Mitchell to the Hills that city would
not be far from a proper location,
although Huron would also be fairly
satisfactory if there is to be a re-
moval at this time. Ho|'s that for
diplomacy. That last touch will
even tickle Pierre a little. They
might IS well all feel good while they
can A capital campaign will be no
fun when they get it fairly launched.
Dell Rapids Tribune: We do not
believe that the capital is worth
much to any town. Its loss would
not seriously injure Pierre, and the
town that secured it would not be
greatly benefited thereby. Hence, ir
considering capital removal, the
main questions involved are, is
Pierre the best place for the capital:
and if not which town offers the
geratest accessibility and the best
accommodations for the transaction
Of the business Of the state? We
cannot see wherein either Redfel6
or Huron would be very mnch bette,
as a location for the capital thar
Pierre, but it the capital could b.
located at Mitchell, Madison, Siou1
Falls or ever Yankton, any n 0
which is more accessible to the mali
part of the state than either Pierre
Huron or Redfeld, we believe th'
capital ought to be moved ant
located permanently, so that a stat
building may be erected in keepin

of the commonwealth.

Pruning is necessary to restore the

Fall is the best time to set out rhu-
barb. 1t starts so early in the spring
that the soil is rarely in proper ,condi-
ton for planting before growth begins.
Potash in one form or another is alb

Comedy-Drama at the Park.

Stree Lolita and Maggie Mitchell are NO
longer before the footlights, and Nellie Nc
Henry has shown tendency to shift from
style of play to another, there has
been an inviting opening in the theatrical
world for a singing soubrette who could
sustain part demanding both comedy and
serious acting. Hilda Thomas. a native OF
Indianapolis and known for the last five
years as one Of the most entertaining Of
vaudeville performers, seems to fill the bill
perfectly, and her first appearance as a
star in a comedy-drama gives promise of
much better things that may be expected
OF her in the future. Her play, 1.-The Fish,
ermans Daughter" opened it's half-weeks
engagement at the Park Theater yesterday
before large audiences in the afternoon and
evening. and the new star received a warm
welcome in her home city.
The play itself, while built on conven-
tional plans. tells an interesting story of
the sort made popular years ago by such
New England coast dramas as May Bios
sem" ana "Mugg's Landing" 1t deals with
the life of the cod-fishermen along the
shore. and there is a certain picturesque
ness about ii that appeals especially to an
inland audience unfamiliar with the con-
slant roar OF the sea. The play ,-as writ
ten by the old-time actor. Milto.t Mobiles
and this probably accounts for the fact
that there are plenty of bright lines scat
tered through its dialogue. The comedy of
the play is stronger, in fact, than the Sc
riolS portions. and this is as 1t should be
IN a production of this class. Miss Thomas
always graceful and natural in everything
she does while on the stage, is easily the
best actress seen at the Park in an ingenue
part this season, and she is ably supported
in the comedy situations and musical num-
bers by Lou Hall, good character actor
who was with her in vaudeville last sea-
son. The two have a song and dance in a
kitchen stage setting that Is given in a
very attractive way, and in the last act of
the play their singing and approximations,
OF the kind which they introduced while in
vaudeville, are unusually well done. The
more serious roles are in the hands of j.
