The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1906-04-20
LET'S TOE TIE SCRATCH.

The city election is now a thing OF
the past. Each side of the contro-
ycrsy has had It's say to the fullest
expression. DoG5tiess things were
said in the heat of the moment
which would have been wiser unsaid /;
but that is neither here nor there.
The city OF Mitchell needs the help
OF every citizen Individually and the
united support Of all in the effort
that is to be made this summer to
take advantage Of the opportunities
which r to be presented. 1t has
teen the history OF our citizens that
whatever there may be of internal
struggles for supremacy in the line of
election that when the affair was
over the citizens settled back to
their ayocations and then stood to-
gether for the advancement of the
city's interests. 1t is we'll understood
that with a divided people nothing
can be accomplished, and it is this
unanimity of spirit of good fellow
ship that brought success to Mitchell
In whatever has been undertaken.
This is notable in the successive
corn palaces that have furnished
Mitchell a reputation that is not con-
fined to the borders OF the United
States even. 1t is this sane spirit
of self-contidence in the growth and
development of the city that has
caused individuals to erect business
buildings of splendid value andsarch-
itectnral design, inspired citizens
to spend their money in erecting
more attractive homes. to offer help
and extend an encouraging hand to
enterprises that. desire to locate here
and become a portion of the city.
This spirit OF unanimity OF purpose
is Mitchell's best stock in trade and
It never wants to let it commence to
exhaust itself because of some differ
ences that might exist along about
election time. Doubtless it requires
: certain amount OF generosity to
yield, but in years past the generos-
ity has had to come from both
sides. but in u experience 1t has
never failed to come, and with, the
result that Mitchell has not lost pace
with any Of her sister cities in the
state, and some she has forged
ahead Of,
The Republican is ready at all
times to stand behind any aud every
enterprise which means something
for the advancement OF Mitchell. 1t
has always found supporters for that
Idea and the paper is always ready
to..stand behind the mar with a Leg
Ultimate enterprise. Mitchell has
reached - period in her growth
when itais tound to become greaterp
and the things that are leading up
70 1t are many. The railroad extern
sion that the Milwaukee company is
now working on west OF Chamberlain
to so through to the Black Hills
country is n Of the grand things
that's going to help ia a strong
manner tOsattain a greater Mitchell.
As tbe gateway for the broad plains
stretching out westward beyond the
banks OF the Missouri there is an un-
limited field for broadening cut in
trade territory and Mitchell stands
In the most advantageous position of
my In tile northwest. Already steps
have been taken in the direction of
Interesting capital in.the city in the
wholesale line and with some sue
cess, too, so that with such an en-
c%OUraging outlook uheresis much to-
be gained by a conce Etration3 of in
terests that will bring these things
to pass.
Is constant advertising OF Mitchell,s
good qualities as a home and educa-
tional center should be Made a lead
ling theme among our people. One
can travel a long way before finding
: place with as many advantages for
making home as Mitchell. This is
not said boastingly, tut with the alb
sollte feeling that it is true. The
numerous fine residences that have
been erected in Mitchell in the past
SIX Years, and those that are going up
today and those in prospect bears cut
this assertion most abundantjy.
There is much to be accomplished
this year and With one or two i'm
