another for guessing at something we
are equally ignorant OF. We'd always
rather talk about what a man has
done than what he may, can, or will
do. III Clate R. runs as many graf

he charges a few quid for extra-profes-
sional services as manager. Will you?
The Spirits last paragraph has re-
ference to this little bon-mot from
the Redtield paper:
"But Dad, you see Clate is suspect
ed OF receiving pay for his work for
Mitchell, and yet he says none of the
rest OF us may haye,any."
Anyhow, it cost Mitchell nothing for
support and encouragement given it
by the GRAPHIC heretofore-in the
original capital contest and during
the resubmisslon days last winter
and tcame out flat-footed for Mitch
ell before Its EDITORS connection with
the capital committee was thought
of BY anyone-just as it would have
had Redteld won out in the legisla-
lature last winter-just as it did for
Huron thirteen years ago-and as it
would now were it in Mitchell's place.
The GRAPHIC has always been very
much against locating the capital at
Plerre-so much SO that any PROPOSE
tion Of that kind has always brought
marked opposition without waiting to
be seen" OF course its mighty nice
to be paid for expressing what you
think and can't very we'll hold in.
but so far as the GRAPHIC is concerned
it will say it anyway. Whatever else
may be said of this writer's connec-
ton with the capital campaign, in
consistency is notone of them, and in
timatlons of that nature will not stick.
There has been nothing asked of the
newspapers that the GRAPHIC would
not do under exactly the same circum-
stances-nor will there be. Financial
matters are wholly within the jurisdic-
zion of the capital committee proper
and with which we have nothing to
do. That committee is probably not
unmindful of the effect Of a friendly
press and or the potency of the sscoin
of the realm" But while that COM
mittee's disposition may be everything
to be desired, its means may be an i'm
possible bar to a repetition of any
thing approaching the bribery Of the
last capital campaign.
Whatever it's motives-whether to
gain friends or patronage among
faculty and students or reputation for
standing by Its state-the Argus-Lead-
er is telling the truth about the adj
vantages possessed by the educational
institutions of the state for the youth
OF South Dakota. Mr.. Tomlinson,
editor Of the Argus-Leader, is a Yale
man and writes from full knowledge
Of his subject. The only advantage
the big eastern university holds over
its more modest contemporary in our
own state is its ability to teach a
young man how to get rid of a whole
lot OF money in a mighty short time.
We know what we are talking about.
TT NAV he said in fr1th how that
a Harvard, Cornell or Yale man
comes in touch with social conditions
that perhaps gives him a finish not
possible in a smaller institution less
cosmopolitan in its enrollement. But
this largely depends upon the financial
ability of the student-or his parents
and the young man who hasn't got
the dough-or a dad that has-he bet
ter stay where he a see a real COW
once in awhile.
