educators of our land, and is an
ORATOR Professor Of Scandinavian

while his scholarship, his faultless

The Capital Day Debate, July 7, will
be battle Of giants Recognizing
the fact that Canton is in that part Of
the state that will cast a large vote on
the removal of the capital; and de-
string to give our patrons chance to
hear the best arguments that can be
advanced; we have arranged for a
JOINT DEBATE on this date. The Hon.
o. L. Branson and the Hon. N. P.
Bromley will support the proposition
that the capital should be moved to
Mitchell. The Hon. Chauncey l..
Wood and the Hon. E. w. Caldwell
will argue against the removal, and
support the proposition that the capi-
tai should remain at Pierre. The
eminent ability of these champions
guarantees a dialectical contest of the
highest interest, and the victory here
may easily forecast the one at the
polls this fall. Special excursion rates
will be made on the railroads. Large
delegations will come with bands and
banners. Ample arrangement will be
made to care for the thousands ex.
pected.
Farmers Day, July 8, will be one OF
special value to the hundreds of in
telligent farmers whose homes cause
travellers to cry out as they pass along
"Why, these people have as good
buildings and appear as prosperous as
the best farmers in the east.'' Ger
tainly! It is intelligent farming that
wins; and, perhaps, no one man ir
South Dakota has contributed more
to that result than the Hon. NJ. f.
GREELEY who will deliver the address
on this day. The wives are the able
helpmates Of their stalwart hus
bands; and we have secured Mrs
BERTHA DAHL LAWS, who has q
national reputation, to complement
