As will be seen by the foregoing copy
of the joint resolution, all that is re.
qulrsd is vote of the people to place
the capital at Mitchell and it goes.
The action Of the legislature makes

By that time Mitchell will have a
beautiful granite building all completed
ready for the reception Of the legis.
lature in January, building especi'
ally designed TOR . temporary capital
building and ample in dimensions for
all purposes for years to come, 1t will
have separate halls for both branches
of the legislature, governors rooms,
supreme court chambers, Offices for the
state officials and roomy fire-proof
vaults for all the state records and the
supreme court library.
The use of this magnificent building
is donated to the state FREE OF CHARGE
until the people feel able to erect state
house of their own, by the subjoined
resolution passed by the board of alder
men Of Mitchell, March Z, 1904: Re-

session on March 7, 1904, that should

course Of construction, in its entirety,

until such time as the state elects to build
and occupy G capitol building of It's own.
If Pierre is successful in retaining
the capital 1t promises it's citizens, for
their contributions. 81, 900, 900 capitol
building at once. That's where the TX.
pense comes in.
Not only will the taxpayers be spar.
ed any expense in removing the capita al
but the lessened expense in arising from
having the Capital in an accessible 10.
cation and convenient 10 the great
majority Of the people means an i'm
mediate and permanent saving to the
state. The extra mileage expense Of
the members of the legislature is now
Sl27s.52 more at each session than it
would be were the capital at Mitchell.
to which can be added the extra mile

private individual who has business at
the state capital, Every person who

Can the farmers and business men

mental geographical center" idea and
hypothecated generalities a. to the fu-
ture of the state west Of Pierre which
the history Of the whole country west
Of the, Missouri shows 10 be visionary
and unreasonable7
Pierre is making the specious argu-
ment that the removal of the capital
will mean an expense to the state in
lessening the value of the endowment
lands west of the Missouri, while the
retention Of the capital ss its present
inaccessible location will tend to build
up that part Of the state. The fallacy
of this line Of argument Is shown from
the fact that In the ten years immedi-
ately following the location Of the CAPT
tai at Pierre that city lost one-third of
its population and its county (Hughes)

no EXPENSE TO The STATE.
The Removal Of the Capital to
Mitchell Means No Expense
to the Taxpayers or
the State.

The cunningly contrived statements
sent out by Pierre that the removal of
the capital peans an expense to the
taxpayers or the state is pure bun
combe. In fact, buncombe is q mild
word for it. It is scarecrow set up
to frighten the voters. A Pierre trick
And the insinuation that if Mitchell
is successful at the polls the will of
the people will be held up in the
courts, is worse yet. As some news
papers expressed it: The whole town
Of Pierre should be smothered in an
avalanche of votes for threat of that
kinda threat that the money of the
people will be -hnrnt nm by Pierre in
an effort to defeat their own desires" :"
II Pierre wants to fight it out in the
courts, Mitchell won't ask anybody to
pay its lawyers and it will be long
time before the state pays Pierre's.
The expense to the state will. there.
fore. amount to nothing, aside from 8
small expense Of packing and moving
the state records-s mere trife, The
state owns no other property at Pierre
of particular value It is not financial
ly interested in Pierre to any greater
extent than Mitchell. The building
now used as a state house is scarcely
tit for human habitation and is prac.
tically worthless to the state.
Referring to this question-the con.
stitutional right Of changing the loca-
ton Of the capitalize Huron Huron
ite, which is supporting Pierre but
honest enough to admit that the chang
ing of the seat of government Of the
state is = very simple matter said in
its issue Of February 5, last:
mo one will deny under our system
of government the right of the people
to revise or amend their constitution.
In fact. the trainers Of the constitution
recognized this right to such an extent
as to make its amendment very easy
of accomplishment by providing that .
majority vote, of the two houses
of the state legislature should be suf-
ficient to submit an amendment and
that majority vote at the polls should
be sufficient to amend that instrument.
The joint resolution passed by the
legislature not only relegated the qaes-
tion of capital location to the peo.
pie but provided as well that if they
voted to place it at Mitchell the meas
ure should be SELF EXECUTING. The
following is certified copy of the reso.
luton as it passed both houses Of the
legislature. from the Secretary Of
State:

 Three children were carried by their parents at cost of $3l.50 for the school year.
 Three children were carried by their
 parents an average distance of two
 miles at c,st of S4S for the school
 year. s.a. In one instance an open wagon with out springs was provided, the children sitting on boards laid across the sides. In one town the team was conspicu-
 ously unfit for this or any other use. In some cases complaint has been made that the driver employed was un- fit to associate with, or have the care of, children. s.
 In one town seven children were sat-
 isfactorily transported an average dis tance of two miles at cost of $5 for the school week. Six children were carried, in cover.
 ed wagon, distance of three miles at
 cost of $116 for the year.
 Four children were carried three, miles at cost of $6O for the year. In some towns children are trans
 ported by trolley car lines at reduced rate. .s.s In some towns the contract for carry Ing the children IS let to the lowest bidder. K. E A stone schoolhouse was found, very cold and damp inside, supplied with a stove sufficient in size only for room one-third as large, the stovepipe so old and insecure as to fall on the heads of
 pupils at frequent intervals. The room
 was absolutely unsafe for occupancy during the winter, but the teacher had applied to school visitors and select men without result. The pupils were constantly afflicted with cold and
 throat affections.
 In one town three schoolhouses were so dilapidated and open to the weather that school could not be maintained at all during the winter. s.....:.. .. .s-e
 In one schoolhouse, with no entry way or storm door, the outside door showed wide spaces at top, bottom and sides, the floor was of unmatched
 boards with wide spaces between, and the stovepipe passed up through a hole in the ceiling much too large for it, so that soot and smoke were constantly blown back into the schoolroom. It was impossible to keep this room warm in even moderately cold weather, and the only fuel furnished was green

 It has been my pleasure to listen to Miss Marie Benedict in one of her ex- quisitely artistic piano recitals. She possesses the rare gift of sending her soul out into the hearts of her listen CTS through the pianoforte, and after her interpretation of the music, or ex- planation of the authors intention or purpose in the composition, makes you feel as she feels.
