WHO ARE THE KNoCKERs7
Pierre's Reputation of Her Bonds
Was a Source OF Great Injury
to the State.

Sioux Falls Critic: The Pierre
capital boomers have coined Il cam
paign phrase with which they expect
to catch the voters by appealing to
their vanity, to convince them that
the state cannot move the capital
from that inaccessible place into civ
ilization. They declare that 1.-THE
South Dakotan is a fair man" No
one doubts this fact but the Pierre
fellows are exceptions.
The average South Dakotan wants
to stand by his contracts, does as he
agrees, and pay his honest debts.
Pierre does not come under that
class.
Pierre bonded herself for $780, 900
in the last capital fight, and repudiat-
ed the bonds, compromised upon
500, 900 and has defaulted upon the
interest on these. The credit of this
fair state has been greatly impaired
in the east by this Pierre bunch
who are coming high sounding
phrases. Before these fellows make
a holler about hurting the state by
removing the capital from That in
accessible place, where population
is scarce and prairie dogs hold full
sway, they had better square them
selves or that bond deal.
The Pierre bunch promised to
build a fine granite capital building
ETC., but instead erected an old RAM
sbackle of a frame shed unsafe, in
adequate and without protection
from fire OF other conveniences. Be-
ing a fair man, the South Dakotan
wants these promises fulfilled and he
has no faith in, or time for Il con-
tract breaker.
IF the removal of the capital i'll
hurt the credit of the state, by say
ing to the eastern holders of Pierre's
r%epudiated bonds that that section
and beyond the river northwest Is
not fit for farming, then let it hurt.
The people of this state know all
about it anyway, and let's not fool
ourselves into the belief that we can
deceive other people by putting our
selves out to make a show. II the
South Dakotan is a fair man. he does
not believe in deceit, hypocrisy and
tall timber lying. He don't want the
state settled up, If to do it, we must
misrepresent and bamboozle poor set
tiers into squatting upon those
alkali hills among those prairie dog
towns.
We believe IN being fair and
honest to ourselves first and not have
future generations euss US for being
so foolish as to locate the capital
away up there in an attempt to
bamboozle some prospective land
buyer. 1t is a noticeable fact that
the most unreliable, emigration
agents are the most persistent
Pierre boomers. Being a fair man,
the South Dakotan will not .,allow
selishness and d few railroad passes
to influence his vote on the capital
question.

TAKE UP A SUBSCRIPTION
Artesian Advocate Suggests That be
Done for Two Woonsocket
PAPERS Supporting Pierre.

Brer. Dowdell, of the Artesian Adj
vocate. is pretty thoroughly disgusted
with the attitude OF a couple Of Woon-
socket, papers, notably the News
and He.ald, on the capital question,
and the following is given as the ex-
preston Of the Advocate editor:
1t must be a disgusting thing for
the readers of those Woonsocket pa
pers that are booming Pierre for
capital to read the rot they publish.
We understand they need money.
and need it bad: but we do not be-
lieve they need it bad enough to sell
their editorial space for the small
amount they receive. We believe
if they would go personally to their
subscribers who own land IN Sanborn
and Jerauld counties. make a clean
breast of it, tell them the amount
they get from capital committees for
the use of their columns. those land
owners would gladly raise shem the
money.
The writer has a good reason to
claim to have a fair knowledge Of
land values, and we make the state
ment that it is u opinion. should
the capital be located at Mitchell
there will be an added value Of from
So tc S. an acre in every acre of land
within driving distance of Mitchell.
Anyone within a radius Of AS TO
so miles can drive to the capital in
Il single day. a donation of one
dollar by each Of the subscribers of
the Herald or the News would
raise them the money they are now
getting in a most despicable man
ner. Just think of it. that amount
would be less then the benefit deriv-
ed from the raise on a single acre.
Is it possible for a newspaper man
to get so badly pressed for money
that he will sell his subscribers in
and MS " manhood for
such 4 pittance?
