WRITES ABOUT THE CAPITAL
Hutchinson County Citizen Dis
cusses the Capital in Yank~
ton Frele Press.

Editor Yankton Freie Press: Since
South Dakota became a state there
has hardly been a question of more
Importance before its people to de-
eide, than the one acted upon by the
last legislature regarding the resub-
mission of the capital removal Ques-
ton. This is a question to be def
nitely decided. II the capital shall
remain at Pierre. AS long as it is
there there will be strife between
Aberdeen, Redfeld, Huron, Mitchell
and Sioux Falls, to see who will be
the victor in the end.
This contest, which reminds US of
a horse race, has cost the state of
South Dakota during the last two
sessions OF the legislature a quarter
of a million dollars each session I'M
necessary expenses.
This shows conclusively that this
Question will agitate the people of
South Dakota as long as the capita
remains at Pierre, and may cost the
state yet millions of dollars.
The conviction that the capital
must be removed from Pierre forces
itself upon every thinking mind.
Where to move 1T was demonstrate
lively decided during the last session
OF the legislature, when the men,
berS, almost unanimously declared for
Mitchell.
Why shall Mitchell instead of
Pierre be the permanent place for
, the capital?
Take the population in considera-
tion the last census shows that
Mitchell is located in the centre Of
population, take also the advantages
of railroad connections.
Information from a reliable source
gives promise that IN the near future
the C. NJ. & st. P. Railway Co. is
going to extend its line from Cham
berlain to the Black Hills.
AS 500 as this is accomplished
Mitchell is on a straight line con-
nected east, west, north and south.
II we look at Pierre we find that
the delegation from the Black Hills
has to travel a distance. of 1900 miles
through other states to reach Pierre.
only 200 miles away. This trip re-
quires half a week, quite a loss of
time for the delegation. To this add
the extra expenses and fatigue. When
the extension.of the Milwaukee road
is completed Mitchell can be reached
in a very few hours from the Black
Hills. All state institutions will
profit by this. II Pierre we're the
right place this question could never
have arisen, but as it is not the right
place South Dakota has a duty OF
honor to perform to conform with
an overwhelming majority at the polls
next fall, the wise and iudicious ac-
ton Of its Intelligent and worthy
representatives. II

A NOTE OF WARMING
Fear of a Panic IN the Opera House
Should a Fire Take Place in
the Ruildinu

Editor Republican, Many people
have reason to fear a great loss of life
at our opera house should a panic en-
sue, when there is a crowded house.
The small hall at the foot OF the
stairs would be a veritable death
trap. There is a door leading from
the balcony, and there should be a
door of easy access in.the south side
of the lower floor. Noticing tie
length of time it takes for the people
to get out at the close of one of our
lectures heard many expressions of
anxiety in regard to this matter.

in Manchuria has advanced greatly.
The last year of the decade exceeds the

from the free export of beans, bean

me that he was nine years old when l
