THAT CAPITAL ASSESSMENT

Our good friend John Longstaff, of
the Huron..Huronite, has not quite
become accustomed to the fact that
Mitchell is the candidate against
Pierre for capital removal, when the
way John long has sought was to
have Huron in that position. Con-
corning that $50, 600 which John al
leges the Mitchell capital committee
is trying to raise, he is away off.
Mitchell does not deny that she is
raising a campaign fund. Such a
procedure is necessary to- conduct
the preliminary campaign-but the
announcement made by the Huron
lite is absurd. No such amount of
money is being raised.
The Huronite editor in some way
got possession of a confidential let
ter which the capital committee
mailed to each citizen OF this city.
1t was as much of a private letter
as goes between man and man.
Notwithstanding the privacy of the
communication Nh. Longstaf VIC
lated an ordinary civility by pub
fishing extracts therefrom. One e3-
tract which lac .dilates upon is az
follows:
This was done witioutegen EARNING
the political machinery of the state
and your committee received the
thanks of the state political organi-
cation and the governor OF taae state.
The paragraph refers to the success
of Mitchell in reaching the desired
end without disrupting the politiea
machinery Of the state. The cam.
paign committee at the outset fol
capital removal made the statement
that there would be NO eompacts
formed which would in any way
affect the relations Of the politica
leaders nor influence proposed leglsla.
tlon Of the state. THIS was accom-
plished in a thorough anne and
we are thankful to John for giving
additional publicity to the fact. Al
all times during the campaign the
committee was very careful indeed
not to mix up the politics of the
state, and the committee has reeeiy'
ed the assurances from these leaders
that the matter was handled ia {
very satisfactory manner.

.Brutslly Tortured,

A Ease came to light that for per-
sistent and unmerciful torture has
perhaps never been equaled. Joe
Golobick, of Colusa, Calf, writes:
stFor Is years / endured insufferable
pain from rheumatism and nothing
relieved me, though I tried every
thing known. I came across Electric
Bitters and it's the greatest medicine
on earth for that trouble. A few
bottles Of it completely relieved and
cured me-" Just as good for liver

Huron Journal World: The coming
capital fight in South Dakota prom
Uses to be the most hard fought one
the state ever experienced. While
Pierre has in the past proven herself
to be a formidable candidate. she has
new pitted against her a city which
will give her a battle harder than she
ever before received. Should the
Great Northern build to Mitchell,
shortening the distance to forty miles,
the people of this section Of the state
would have accessibility to the capl-
tai, should it be located at Mitchell;
while Pierre l20 miles distant, has
the poor railway facilities which was
the cause of keeping alive the qeus-
tion of resubmission. It is a question
whether the people Of Beadle county
will agree to any great extent upon
any one town.
Not counting on the Great North
ern extending to Mitchell Huron
would still be about 50 miles closer
to the state capital than she is now.
The same can be said Of Watertown
or any Of the places in the northern
part of the state. People in the
northern part cannot reach Pierre
except by going to Wolsey and that
brings them so miles nearer Mitchell
than the present state capital. Ac-
feasibility is the strong feature in
this capital campaign and it is not
strange that the Journal World editor
views it in the proper light. -Four
teen years Of capital location far be-
yond the reach Of the people certainly
ought to prove to the people that the
seat Of state government ought to be
feached In a comparatively short time.
The people now have the opportunity
to place 1t where it, can be reached
with little difficulty.
