Value of County Seat.

An interesting question as tc
the value of the county seat to a
town is raised by Sank Rapids,
recently shorn of it's honors. The
Benton county village firmly be.
lieves that the seat of government
is a hoodo and freely admits that
real prosperity never came until
it lost the courthouse.
One of Sank Rapids leading
business men sizes up the situa-
ton in this fashion:
We have grown ever since that
blooming county seat went to
Foley. This may sound curious,
but it is gospel truth. We were
going down hill before that time,
and the grass was growing on
the streets, but since we lost
that fight for the county seat,
there has been one era of
prosperity here. = = = Sank
Rapids today is one of the best
business towns in the state, and
so help me, it started to be that
when we lost the county seat.
Foley is welcome to it.
This surely is new point of
view. Most cities and villages
are convinced that trade follows
the courthouse and are willing to
spend recklessly Of their wealth
to keep it, or to wre>t it from a
rival which already has it.
County seat fights are of almost
monthly occurrence IN Minnesota.
The real cause of Sank Rapids
revival is doubtless not that it
lost the county seat, but that it
needed just some such blow to
quicken it into life again. Having
the county seat could not save
the village as long as its citizens
were dead. The county seat is
usually an indication rather than
a cause of a towns prosperity
and prestige.

President Roosevelt may yet
be forced to take the presidential
nomination to beat Bryan. Of
all the possible candidates
doomed SO far, there is not one
with the proper vote getting
qualities. The democrats are
going to put up Bryan, at least
everything points that way, and
William J. is not going to be dis
posed of as easily as he was in
1900. :
