SOME MITCHELL SENSE.

South Dakota has no notion OF
letting up on securing immigration
until the state is completely settled
up. The constant stream of new
corners is equal if not greater than
at any period in its history.
The lands of the great Sioux and
Rosebud reservations will be pretty
well taken up by the close of the
present year. Therefore, there is
now a demand for opening up of a
good portion, il not all of the Chey-
enne reserve, and why notY These
vast Indian reservations have been
an eye sore to patriotic Dakotans
who feel a pride in seeing every sec
ton of our vigorous young state
developed.
To our mind there is nothing too
good for the native sons IF our state
who r becoming Of age, and as
there are no longer lands for them
to settle upon nea the paternal
home, the best place to colonize
them within the state is upon the
Cheyenne reserve, which the writer
regards as the cream of all agricul-
tural lands lying west Of the Mis-
souri, river, as good, If not better
than much Of that upon this side.

NO E BACKWARD.

Westward moves the star of the
empire. South Dakota is not going
to retreat. With her motto-"I
lead" she is not at all likely to "face
to the rear and move backward.
On the capital location as on all
other questions, she is nc back
slider. Her faith has been pledged
and her promise will be kept. John
Noble, of Delaware township, in
assessing his township recently,
polled the voters on the capital
question and of those who had "made
up their minds" Pierre had FIVE
majority. Only a few had not yet
decided. Mr.. Noble made a pleas
ant call at these headquarters last
Monday and gave us the facts as
above stated. He also said that
Brooklyn township stood GO to l6 in
favor of Pierre. These figures are
the death knell Of Mitchell's hopes,
for unless the center of popula-
ton" is practically solid for her, she
has no show to win. In territory
that might ordinarily be expected to
be for Mitchell, the Pierre sentiment
is in the ascendent. Mitchell is
waging a losing battle and this is
clearly indicated by the temper dis
played by her partisans. When
personal abuse is resorted to, it may
be safely assumed that the stock of
legitimate argument is exhausted

GEN. TYNER'S APPEAL.

1t is now stated that the Tyner
letter, appealing to President Roose-
welt to rectify the alleged wrong
done the aged official in the presi.
dents message concerning the pos
tai frauds, was not written by Tyne.
but by O. F. Hershey, Tyner's Balti-
more attorney. If this is true it was
a capital piece of acting in print; its
manufactured pathos being well
adapted to influence the unwary.
The general belief has been that
Tynor owes his acquittal solely to
the manner in which the commiser-
ating sympathies of the jury were
worked upon by the spectacle of a
feeble old man, once a Union SOL
der and long an honored officer of
the nation, with but a few months
more of life, standing at the bar of
justice, charged with crimes which,
if committed by aim, were believed
to have been committed through the
persuasions of younger and sharper
c~onfederates. Under the circum-
stances, wisdom would seem to have
dictated that the old man should
have gracefully accepted the acquit-
tai, and sought shelter in retirement
from any further discussion of his
case. This is said to have been the
opinion of Mr.. Worthington, Tynor's
Washington lawyer. But Tynor has
seen fit to make a demand on the
president for a r~etraction of charges
and a "vindication." The answer,
according 70 a statement from WASH
ington, will be a further presenta-
tion of the facts, either by the presi-
dent or some one speaking in his
behalf, which will show Gen. Tynor,
his unwise counsellor and the pub
lie that the government is cognizant
of a great many things of which it is
imagined to be ignorant, and that if
any mistake was made it was not by
the president.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.

ACCESSIBILITY RACKET.

Pierre is not only willing but anx-
ious that the location of the capital
should be determined absolutely by
consideration of the general inter-
ests OF the whole state not only pres
ent but future, and regardless of the
particular interests of any locality.
The burden of proof is on Mitchell,
to show that a change of location at
this time would be thus beneficial to
the whole state.
Now, honestly, has Mitchell furn-
ished anything like overwhelming
and conclusive evidence that a change
of location would thus be beneficial
to anybody but herself?
Mitchell talks Of her accessibility
This might be important if admitted
that the present distribution of pop
ulation is to remain permanently as
at present. But it will Tot so remain,
1t will extend westward. There
fore, accessibility this year will not
be the accessibility of next year and
the years thereafter.
If the career of South Dakota has
"set" like a batch of cement, then il
will do to accept present conditions
as the conditions of the future.
If it has not so 'set," then the
present must reckon with reference
to future progress.
If it has so "%set," then many of us
who have been bankingon the devel
opment of this great empire may as
we'll move out.
Mitchell's case hangs upon the
assumption that there is to be nc
further progress in South Dakota.
If you think so, vote for Mitchell.
If you don't think so, vote for Pierre.

CLEVELAND, ROOSEVELT AND
THE TRUSTS.

A comparison that has already
done some service, and is destined
now to do more, is between the Sec
ond Cleveland administration and
the Roosevelt administration with
respect to trusts, in the campaign of
1892 Mr.. Cleveland, through the
agency of Mr.. Whitney, received a
large support from the moneyed
interests of the country, and when
he appointed MI. Olney attorney
general the charge was made that
the appointment was dictated by
those interests. Mr.. Olney was a
corporation lawyer of great reputa-
ton, and the prediction was made
that the trusts would lose no sleep
with him in the department of JUS
tice. The New York World repeat
eddy demanded his removal. Mr..
Cleveland was deaf to the demands,
and the trusts pursued the prosper
Gus tenor of their way. Today the
trusts are the influences behind the
proposition to recall Mr.. Cleveland
to the democratic leadership.
Mr.. Roosevelt, as we know, owed
nothing to the trusts in his elevation
either to the vice presidency or to
the presidency. He came into both
offices unhampered by obligations
except to the principles of the party.
When death made him president he
found Mr.. Knox in Office and asked
him to remain. 1t was suggested in
one or two quarters that a change in
the attorney g~eneralship would be a
good thing; that Mr.. Knox, as Mr..
Olney, had served the leading o r
porations as adviser, and was there
fore not the man for the place. Mr..
Roosevelt, however, if he ever heard
the suggestion, did not act on it, and
the record sustains his judgment in
retaining Mr.. Knox. They have
worked together to the peoples
advantage on the trust issue and
applied a law which was supposed
TO be a bit Of buncombe.

THE REPUBLICAN DEFICIT

The first payment of the Panama
canal S50,000,000, has been practi-
cally met out of the savings and sur
plus of the four years in which
republican revenue has exceeded
republican expenditure by $5O2,S30,-
1887. No other country in the world
could have made this expenditure
out of its cash balance. When Great
Britain purchased the khedival
shares of the Suez canal, bonds were
issued. When the United States
makes its first payment on the Pan
anna canal it is out Of it's surplus
cash.
For the current fiscal year expen-
ditures are running close to revenue.
There may even be a deficit. The
cause is simple. The revenue from
customs has fallen off, to June Z,
$24,374,041. The expenditures on
the navy have gone up $1S,S07,S4
and running expenditure, "civil and
miscellaneous" has increased S.
795,1S3. The other expenditures
are substantially unchanged. The
army costs a little less and pensions
and Indians a little more. Those
nearly balance.
The real change is customs, off
S24,374,042, and navy and civil out
lay, more by S27,603, 023. These
two items make a change on balance
of S52,000,000 for the year. Gus
toms revenue has fallen off because
prices are low and we are exporting
instead of importing. No one can
regret that. The navy costs more
because we need a stronger navy
than we had. All admit that. But
for this expenditure our vessels
would not be in Tangier rescuing an
American citizen.
This is all the deficit is: More
navy needed and less foreign luxur-
les used while the surplus of the
past years pays for $50,000,000 on
account of the Panama canal. Phil

STAND PAT.

The people of South Dakota will
not vote to take a step backward,
Now that the development of the
state is progressing SO rapidly, SC
satisfactory, a vote to remove the
capital from Pierreto Mitchell would
be a vote of lack of confidence in all
that great portion of our state lying
west and northwest of Beadle
county. The lines on which the
fight is being made have been sc
drawn by the Mitchell managers as
to make it impossible to favor
Mitchell without accepting theil
conclusions that one-half of South
Dakota is a barren waste.
The Huronite recognizes the
changed conditions obtaining in the
western part of the state and believe:
now that the country to our west
will in the near future contain 6
population as dense as the country
to our east. In this development Of
the western portion of our state al
are interested. The Yankton man
the Canton man, the Sioux Falls
man, the Huron man. Hence the
determination to stand pat on the
capital question.

interests of the whole state. A vote
for Mitchell is a vote for the selfish
interests of town lot spectators

RUSSIA, FINLAND, SWEDEN

RUSSIA, FINLAND, SWEDEN,
st. Petersburg dispatches deny
that there was any popular tumult
in Helsingfors following the assas
sination of the Russian governor OF
Finland. Probably military pre-
cautions were taken to prevent any
popular tumult. But it is notorious
that there has been great and
increasing popular discomfort ever
since the IA destroyed the ancient
liberties of the people, and there has
been especially active ferment since
the beginning of the wal with japan.
The Russians charge the agitation
and discomfort in Finland to the
Swedish element, as if it were the
work of foreign interlopers not sup
ported by the native Finlanders.
The truth is that the so-called Swed-
ish element in Finland is as much a
part of the nation as the Finlanders
themselves. Finland was a part OF
Sweden for FIVE centuries. The
Swedes converted the Finnish tribes
to Christianity and led them out OF
barbarism. Their language, religion
and ci~vilizatian took deep root in the
country, though Sweden preserved
the local liberties of the people and
gave them a constitution near the
end of the eighteenth century.
This is the constitution Russia
overturned a few years ago, after
every car for nearly a century had
sworn to maintain it. From the
time Russia seized Finland in lSO9
till 1858 Swedish remained the OH
cial language and the state church
has always been Lutheran. The
car was content to be the grand
duke of Finland al the king OF
Sweden had been before him. Rus
sia's great effort for generations has
been to eliminate the Swedish insti-
tutions and develop the original Fin
nish language, literature and Gus
tons. But this, il appears, was only

WHAT 1T WILL COST.

Much has been said on both sides
concerning the cost of removing the
capital from Pierre to Mitchell.
should the removal proposition
cay. The &itchell people have
sent our a circular in which the
claim is made that the cost to the
people should removal occur would
be nothing. But little investigation
is needed to prove the falsity of this
claim, as well as the companion
claim made by Mitchell that the
business Offices of the state should
be near the center of population.
South Dakota has half a million PEG.
pie. 1t is safe to say hat not one
South Dakotan in a hundred ever has
occasion to 60 to the state capital.
Nearly all the business of the state
is transacted through the mails,
except in the land department, and
the expenses of this office would be
increased instead of lessened if the
capital should be removed to Nit,
chell, because the state lands are all
much nearer Pierre than the Davi-
sen county town, and the cost to the
state in salaries of field men, ETC.,
would be vastly greater than at
present.
That the expenses of the land
Office is no small item in the cost of
running the state government is evil
dent from the fact that the expenses
of this Office are about as large as
those of the gov ernor, secretary OF
state, state auditor and treasurer
combined. In 1893 the cost of clerks
in the Offices of governor, secretary
auditor and treasurer combined was
$1,000 and in 1903 was S11,S50
The expense in 1893 was $4,000 and
in 1903 $3.50. In 1893 the clerk
hire in the land department was
$4,000, and in 1908 $4,000, expense
in 1893 S2,3S7, and in 1908 $3.50
1t will be seen that the department
is growing more rapidly than all the
rest combined. A large part of the
expense and salary is field men in
the land department. Move the
capital to Mitchell and the increased
expense for field men and salaries
will be four times as much each
year as the total mileage of the leg.

When this increased cost is taken
into consideration, with the differ

favor of the present capital. II
should also be remembered that this
