never sees any of these products in

stand on the ground.
But how different it is when peo-

They can see great fields of corn,
and great stacks OF grain or stacks
OF straw, and fine gardens and fields
of p~otatoes-all these as they pass
along through the country on the
cars. They can also see on the farms
fine residences, barns, granaries and
other substantial out buildings, fences
and groves and all the evidences of
a prosperous country. They can see
in the smaller towns near to Mitch
ell, elevators, corn cribs, Touring
mills, ETC.. none of which are to be
found within sixty miles of Pierre.
They do not need to be shown or told
about these things. but can see for
themselves. How can anyone be con-

No Change in Desirability.

Scotland Citizen Republican
Nothing has transpired since the
meeting of the last Legislature to
make Pierre more desirable as a cap
ital location than it was at that
time. The opposition now manifest
ing itself against Mitchell from
places that have always before been
crying for capital removal can only
be attributed to Jealousy, and in
this feeling the people generally have
no sympathy and should rebuke it.
The strength of Pierre lies in the
fact that no other town fears her
supremacy, but a town that is so far
removed from the people that it is
beyond the reach of competition is
hardly an appropriate place for the
seat of government.

White Lake Wave: The Pierre
capital boomers are getting people
into their city to show them the
wonderful product of that great (?)
country. They manage to have them
get there after dark, and also run
them out before daylight so that the
country from Pierre eastward for a
considerable distance which they
say is so productive-can not be seen
by the visitor. They tell them of
the wonderful possibilities Of the
country which lies adjacent to Pierre
on the west and north and south but
do not take them to see it. To save
all this trouble they have collected
a quantity of vegetables and grain
in a shanty near the depot which is
shown to the visitor as samples OF
the product of Hughes and Suliy

In Position of Paupers.

kimball Graphic: A score or more
of eastern Capitalists having large
land holdings in all parts OF the state
are steady subscribers to the Graphic
and from whom we are bearing in a
business way every month. Every
ODE of them without an exception
hope to see Mitchell win out. They
believe that it will be the best move
the state eve made to place the cap
tai where people especially those
from out of the state-can see it. We
have published from time to time ex-
tracts from such letters to this
effect. 1t is plainly evident that
however much Pierre may fool our
own people she can't make those out
side investors believe that Mitchell
is "knocking' the state.

REPUBLICAN, JUDICIAL TICKET
Judge Of Fourth Judicia Circuit
Frank b. Smith of Mitchell.

The Pierre Capital-Journal is harp
ing on the thought that there is a
string to the offerings that Mitchell
has made to.the state when the cap
ital is moved here. They assume 20
say that when the time comes Mitch
ell will pull down her offers and leave
the state in the hole. There is just
this difference between Mitchell and
Pierre: Mitchell has always met her
obligations at one hundred cents on
the dollar and she never made a
promise but what she fulfilled to the
letter. On this capital proposition
Mitchell has agreed to donate the
state OF South Dakota IS acres of
ground on which to erect a perman-
ent capitol building, and when the
state does erect such a building then
the property becomes hers. If the
state decides not to use that proper
ty for a permanent site of what use
would there be for it? When the
Northwestern railroad donated a
capital site to the state fourteen
years ago the same provision was
made in the contract, and the sup
position is that the North Western
did the proper thing. Mltchell's atti-
tude is just the same today. If the
state wants the site on which to
erect a building she can have it free
ly. Pierre has very little room to
accuse any town Of not standing by
her promises, as is evidenced by her
successful effort to r%epudiate her
bonds and put off the payment of an
immense amount OF back taxes.
Mitchell's record is such that she
does not have to apologize in the
least for anything Of the past. and
on that record her word will stand
good for anything she says. 1t cuts
no f...u "aut 2iolia has to say
about Mitchell not being able to let
the state use her city hall building
for temporary capitol purposes. Ev-
cry citizen of Mitchell is a unit on
the proposition to let the state have
the full and free use of that struc-
ture and that means that the state
will never be disturbed in the full
and free use Of the structure.

she said maybe Miss fremont could tell
me some. An l asked her would she
go for you. You car tell me anything
you want to. I'm specially interested
in bears an Indians an cannibals."
Miss fremont laughed again and
leaned back in the easy chair in pleas
ant anticipation. She had frequently
told stories to an appreciative audience
in her sisters nursery, when eager lit
tie faces sought hers in breathless ex-
%pectation and eager little voices plead
ed for "tust one more, please-'bout
Indians!!"
1t was a pleasure to bear this weary
little soul away on the wings of her
imagination-away from the second
floor bedroom and the measles. Togeth-
Fl they roamed the plains with the red
men, climbed trees with the black bears
and were cast away on cannibal is
lands, where only living skeletons were
safe.
Neither Miss fremont nor her de
lighted little bearer was conscious of
the passage of time. "And the little
cub climbed q persimmon tree and es-
capped from the hunter" she was say
ing when the clock struck.

Two LIKES Saved.

"-At q certain suburban station" said
a railroad official, "a train was start
ing off one morning when an elderly
man rushed across the platform and
jumped on one of the slowly moving
cars.
1.-The rear end brakeman. who was
standing by, reached up. grabbed the
off the train.
There he said sternly. 4 have
saved your life. Don't ever try to
jump on like that again.
"'Thank YOU said the old man
calmly. Thank you for your thought
full kindness. 1t is three hours till
the next train. isn't it"'
"'Tkree and a quarter said the
brakeman.
THE long train, meanwhile. had
been slowly gliding by, slowly gath
ering speed. Finally the last car
appeared. This was the brakeman's
car, the one for which he had been
waiting, and With the easy grace that
is born of long practice he sailed ma
jestically on to it.
'But the old gentleman seized him
by the coat and with a strong jerk
pulled him off. at the same time saying
grimly:
cone good turn deserves another.
You saved my life; / have saved
yours. Now We are quits"

Working Imaginary Reasons.

Kimball Graphic: Pierre's latest
attempt to throw sand in the eyes oil
the voters by setting up the cry that
Mitchell can't give the state free
use of its beautiful new city hall for
a capitol building because it isn't
legal, reminds US of the story of the
fellow who vas thrown into Jail for
some alleged misconduct and what
his lawyer said TO him. After the
fellow had sent for a LAWYER and
told his story. the attorney said to
him: why, they can't put you in
Jail for that But I'm here. damn
it. alright he said. The Pierre
crowd will lind out that Mitchell can
do what she pleases with her city
building. Pierre is up in the air and
all at sea for campaign material and
she is putting the whole press bur-
eau at work connecting imaginary
reasons why the capital shouldn't be
removed and in so doing ignoring all
of the main issues, on which she has
been beaten to a standstill.
