Editor CoURIER;
Our state capital was located In the
years following the flush Of the early
settlement Of the state. The main causes
which contributed to place 1t where It
is we're, First: A feeling By many at
that time that Ii should be, placed near
the censer of the state. Sec0nd: The
jealousy of four or i've ambitious towns
that lad failed In the scramble for tenn
porarycapital, which then threw their
influences for the candidate farthest
away and least likely sobecome q com
petitor. Third: A. liberal campaign
fund from the protnuters of she sucoess-
full aspirant, which was On effective
means. owing to the then open ballot
system sassss.1 aata @ ass. @.s
Ever since that time the feeling has
grown stronger among the people and
especially with all who have had oc-
casion tosdo business there. that our
capital was very much mislocated. Al
tor numerous attempts IN that direction
the plan was successful at the last ses-
sion OF the legislature Of again bring
| ing this question before the people for
action. With the experience of two
! sessions in the legislature and having
studied the subiecs In all It's bearings,
we are oertainlyof the opinion that It
| is to the best interest OF large major
Ity Of the people Of the state that the
capital should be relocated.
The capital ID where the business OF
the state ID transacted. Every Office
| is more or less in constant touch with
Ievery county seat In the state. as well
as with the different state instisntions,
hence It goes without saying that the
| logical place for any state capital Is
where Ii can eommunlcate with the
largest population and be reached 10
the least possible time By those who
may have business 10 transact
| There can be no question but that
| the capital located at Mitchell is con-
yeniently accessible 10 all parts Of the
state east Of the Missouri river. Lo
Gated there We befieye It will be ths

UNf0E County, AND CAPITAL REMOVAL.
The views Of Senator sTrieberg and
Representatives Martin, Lawson and
Ryan, which we give our readers this
week on this page, are an able discus
sion OF the capital removal matter and
constitute worthy opening of the re-s
moval campaign for Union county.
They take up the subject frond differs
ent points of view, discuss IL ii their
own way without cOnsuItatios oe out
side suggestion and arrive alta remark
able unanimity Of opinion as to the
best course to pursue. Senator Frie-
berg does notss sex pness his prefsrence,s
believing it best to leave the matter to
the indiyfdual Judgment ofsthe voter
without regard sto party or personal
interest. Our three Representatives do
not attenipts to Edietate aE course ato
others, but clearly express their own
conviction that Mitchell should be Sc
lected for the permanent capital, large
~ on account of its accessibility and
central Locations ~ regards the various
portions OF the state.a These. letters
contain many and convincing argu-
ments which are sure to have great
weight In leading the voters of Uniod
county 10 decide how they shall vote
next fali Oh the permanent location Of
the State capital.
IL isnot our purpose 10 addict -vthis
time ANYTHING specially to what our
Legislators have so well said. During
the campaign to follow we shall doubt
less employ and expand many OF these
same arguments. adding new ones and
answering objections from time to time
as occasion may arise. We are glad to
know that our Legislators at Pierre,
all OF whom voted for the resubmission
amendment and had every opportunity
last winter OF learning the inside facts
that brought about that vote, are sub
stantially unanimous In their support
Of Mitchell The COURIER expects to
support the amendment, hence II is
Exceedingly gratifying 70 us TO hnd

them, We believe the same IL true to .

tion as our colleges multiply and im- prove their work"
 The principle of cooperation Is one which will sooner or later enter into college development. There will be a. closer association of the colleges of A denomination or a State, or a district, and closer relationship between such a group and the university or. univer- stiles of that section of the country"
 The COeducatiOn of the Sexes.
 Just one word more. doctor" said I, How about the coeducationaI college? Is there not now a reaction against the education of boys and girls in the same college?"
 No. As a fundamental principal of social life coeducation will prove to be a permanent factor. Two things, how- ever. should be noted One is that coeducation does not always imply coin struction. It does mean equal oppor- tunities and equal facilities in the same institution for men and women. And. second, that the application of this principle will be more or less modified by surrounding circumstances. It is quite evident. for example, that coedu- cation in a college of 100 or 160 stu dents in small town is something dif- ferent from coeducation Tn a city of A million or two million inhabitants. Moreover, coeducation in college work is something different from coeduda- tionin professional and graduate work. The principle itself is already estab- lished, and every decade will see if more generally recognized Its apnlI- cation will in large measure be deter mined by the immediate situation of the institution concerned.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is an
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Few People Know How Useful it ss an
 Preserving Health and Beauty.
 Nearly everybody knows that char- coal Is the safest and most efficient dis- infectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human sstem for the same clean sing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t Is not drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and car- ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on- ions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminentIy safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it distnfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh,
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptios in tablet form or rather in E-N~-~--~ iozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complex ion, sweeter breath and purer blood and the beauty of 1t Is, that no poss sible harm can result from their con- tinued use, but on the contrary great benefit.
 Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says; v advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patient suffering from gas In sto- mach, and bowels and to clear the complexion and purify the breath. mouth and throat: also believe tha liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-flvs cents q box at drug stores. and althoush in some sense a patent preparation, yet ] believe l get more and better charcoal in stuart's Charcoal Lozengea than in any of the ordinary charcoal tahlets.'
