We notice that Mr.. Elrod in pre-
senting his claims as candidate for
governor claims to have led tue
break from Mellette to Clifford in
the republican convention at Pierre
in 1884 which resulted in Gifford's
nomination. The fact is that the
Bon Homme county delegation
having voted four for Raymond and
four for Mellette on eleven ballots,
he Mellette men at the request of
Nellette's friends led the break with
she four Mellette votes which nom
mated Clifford. The counties were
called alphabetically.

The war news in the far east is
somewhat stale, and for tile most
part unreliable. From the best re-
ports that can be gathered it ap-
pears that the Russians have II
war ships and torpedo boats either
destroyed or disabled, while the loss
to the Japanese fleet is insignif-
can't. One land force of japanese
are reported to have been defeated
in a skirmish, but the facts in re-
gard to the battle are very meager.

mt capital location that would not
10 in print. Every man in the
state who has gone to Pierre in the
summer or in the winter knows
that Pierre is not the proper loca-
ion for the capital of South Dako-
a. People living in Yankton,
Mitchell, Huron, Redfeld, Aber-
leen or Watertown can 60 to Chi
cagc about as quick as they can go
70 Pierre, and for comfort on the
Illinois routs as between that and
Pierre don't ever mention it. Had
the capital gone to any town in the
| populons center of the state be-
tween Yankton and Aberdeen the
| people would have been satisfied.
The capital is of no benefit to
Pierre and never would be If it re-
mained there for all time, because
the condition of the country west
of Pierre will always keep at least
three quarters of the population
east of the Missouri river for the
same reason that you find the bulk
of the population in Nebraska and
Kansas in the eastern half of those
states. Railroads will be built
across the reservation and on west
for through traffic just as the Bur-
lington built from Edgemont, S.
D., to Billings, Mont, through
country where little grows but sage
brush and cactus, but it is a great
sheep country, just as the west half
of our state is great cattle coun-
try, and we are proud of the splen-
did possibilities of the reservation
country for poor men to make for
tunes in cattle aud horses, but no
reservation boomer looks for any
thing more than cattle country
population, and we all know what
that is.
It will be a blessing to Pierre
when the capital is moved, for then
her people will go ahead and do
something for themselves. Some
times capital will help a town,
but it was always curse to Yank-
ton and it has been no benefit to
Pierre-it came near bankrupting
every man that had dollar to put
up.
The capital at Mitchell would
not only help that town but the en-. |
tire state east of the Missouri riv-
er, while its removal would not
make dollars difference one way /
or another to the country west of
the Missouri.

WINNING HER DIPLOMA.


Booker Washington's story Of Anna
Davis. Tuskegee student. is good to
read and remember. Because OF some
misunderstanding about her studies
the young woman could not graduate.
She accepted her owp failure without
whimpering. and determined TO make
the most Of what she had
II have some education. Mr.. Wash
ington." she said to him. land will
20 where it will be useful
Then the people of Tuskegee lost
sight of her for a while. But her deeds
did not lag behind her intention and
her speech She went into the black
| belt Of Alabama and picked out the
most hopeless community she could
find. She took the wreck of log
cabin which was occasionally used
as a schoolhOuse. The men were pow
! erty stricken and illiterate. and unable
to use to advantage what little they
had. They mOrtgaged their crops
every year to pay the rents OF their
novels.
1t was situation to appall the
stoutest heart. But Anna DAVIS in-
stalled herself In the miserable log
schOOlhOuse, and first won the inter
est and sympathy Of the children.
Next she induced all the parents ia
meet there. She taught them enough
arithmetic to know the value Of tn, il
I earnings and to appreciate the folly of
their mortgages. She had learned
something Of the business side Of ag-
riculture at Tuskegee. and she taught
them that. Then she went from cabin
| to cabin to teach by example a better
way Of living.
The result OF that single ha nded
courage was seen by Mr. Washington
when he visited the community year
ago. There was 4 frame schoOlhorse
on the site Of the old log cabin. and
all the children were going to school
| eight months in the year. The crops
had increased; the men were our of
debt; small. decent frame cottages had
taken the place OF the tumble down
shanties, and were owned by the occu.
pants. The people had scraped and
saved to put up the frame schoolhouse
before they thought Of lettering their
own homes.
1t had been done In four years. and
MIR. Washington asked his old pupil
how she had done it all.
II will tell you how l did it," she
said, simply. Then she showed him
an account book with the contributions
to the school building fund. There
were some small cash contributions
but there were more contributions of
eggs and chickens to be sold for the
school.
Besides this they had little cotton
plantation Of their own. The children
cleared a piece Of land behind the
schoolhouss and worked on 1t every
day after school. They raised two
ba les Of cotton a year, and that kept
them going.
| After telling this story Mr.. Washing
ton said he wanted to add that "Tus
kegee has since done what it should
have had the wisdom to do before
