CANTON VS.. Blk POINT.

The saloon element won out In Elk
Point by just IS majority. That lie q
very hopeful sign for town that had
whisky on It's bill of fare for the past
thirty-six years. The books of the bus
mess men OF Elk Point begin to show
too much credit while the saloons show
plenty of cash, as general thing. 1t
was so at BeresfOrd, the money that
went into the saloons was money that
would have bought dry goods, grocer
les, clothing, hardware. If SALOONS
come to Canton, the business men will
be the chief mourners. The average
citizen can't blow his money in for
whisky and pay cash for store bills,
unless be 10 well heeled financially, and
we'll heeled men do not patronize the
saloon. Canton Leader.
License carried in Canton Tuesday by
20 majority in vote of $50, the first
time saloons have had majority In
eighteen years. Bro. Linn's animal
versions on the credit tendencies of a
saloon town are true enough, but his
pharisaical assumption of the superior
virtue OF Canton over Elk Point has
met with severe rebuke. Elk Point
has cut down its license majority near
ly one-half this year, while Canton polls
an unparalleled vote the other way.
AT this rate, Bro. Linn, in q year or
two we will be holding up Canton as a
great and terrible example!

Recently a very strange case OF viii
making came to light In an English
court. a lady, possessed DC consider.
able property. was paralyzed, so she
sent for her solicitor to dispose or her
estate. Bereft Of speech. she was IN.
able to give directions. The solicitor
wrote down the various items on so
many cards: then on other cards he
wrote the names OF the lady's family.
That done. he dealt the cards AZ
ne did so his client coupled property
with names, and he was able to draw
mp the will. 1t was declared good by
the court
Ingenuity runs to madness at times
In the conditions imposed In Wills. A
trial In court some years ago was to
test the legality OF will which stipu-
lated that to inherit the prospective
iegatee must drink al the water In d
certain sea, Fortunately for common
sense. the court awarded the legacy
without stipulation.
A miserly man by will directed bis
son and heir to put 5000 from the es.
tate into the fathers coffin. The canny
heir wrote out a check for the amount
and buried that with his parent.

a NEW pIRRRE ARGUMENT

Our attention has been called TO an
illustration In favor OF not moving the
caDital. which has. we believe, never
been brought out and which is OF sp6Claf
interest TO the people of Union county.
Years ago, the county seat OF the
county was located at y point which
was ia the center OF the population.
The many miles which stretched to
the nOrthward were not considered In
the matter for the broad acres were
but scarcely settled and the fertility OF
the soil and the prospects were looked
upon very much as the Mitchell people
wouldhaVe us consider the country in
the Pierre locality. Later, the coun-
try settled up and the center OF p0pula-
ton moved gradually northward. As
result, the people OF BeresfOrd have
either to travel thirty i've miles to the
seat of our county government or II
taking the trip by rail they have to
appropriate enough time TO go nearly
| to Chicago. The Republic does moi
wish to cast any reflections upon the
| Elk Point people because of these con-
ditions, but If the county seat had
been located in the center of the coun
| ty at an early date, the probabilitie;
are that there would have been rail
i road connections and the distance thu
4 people have to drive would then b.
more equally divided. Why does no
the same law apply to the location o
the state capital? We believe tn
wise way is to let good enough alone
Beresford Republic.
] The abovs is good example OF try
| ing to make point where none exists
To begin with, Elk Point is today a
near the center Of population as sh
ever was. Joe Shay, who lives i
Union county opposite Riyersid
park, is obliged to drive twenty-av
miles to the Republic mans thirty ODD
in order to reach the county hub. Unio
