Keota and the County Seat Question

IN CONSIDERING the location of county
seat for the proposed county of Pawnee,
the first thing that naturally comes to mind
is comparison of the location of the vari-
GUS candidates. 1t is important that the
town be named which is the most readily
accessible from all parts of the territory
embraced within the county lines, by wagon
as we'll as by railroad. The proposed county
is 48 miles long on the north line, 36 miles
long on the south line and 80 miles wide
from north to south. The intersection of
diagonal lines drawn from the corners indi-
Gates the geographical center, and from the
map this is found to be at the southwest
corner of section 22, Township 9, Range SO;
just miles east and miles north of Keota
From this point Grover, the only other
prominent candidate for designation as the
county seat, is 13 miles west and 10 miles
north; total of % miles, or more than three
times the distance to Keota. Seven miles
south of this central point, and within seven
miles of the Morgan County line, lies
Buckingham; while Sligo is 10 miles west
and miles north.
By section line from the extreme north
east corner of the proposed county, it is 43
miles to Grover and AZ miles to Keota; a
seeming advantage to the former place. In
reality, diagonal roads make the actual
distance to Keota somewhat less. Against
this miles difference we should now con-
slider the advantage the location of Keota
offers to the southeastern portion Of the
county, From the extreme corner to Keota,
by section lines, is 38 miles; while to Grover
it is So miles--a full 20 miles farther.
By railroad, Keota is the logical point
for county seat, for it is almost exactly at
the middle of the Burlington line within
the county, as we'll as being half way
between Cheyenne and Sterling, the term
inii of the line. From Keota by rail, north
west, it is miles to Sligo, ID miles to
Grover, and % miles to Hereford; it is
The Keota news., 1914-12-11

miles to Buckingham, Is miles to Raymer,
and 27 miles to Stoneham. These figures
actually favor the northwest part of the
county; and yet Grover would have the
citizenship vote them greater favor, and
an added handicap on the southeastern
portion. In place of the fair arrangement
offered by Keota, you are asked to favor
the selfish interests of one community by
voting for the county seat at Grover; only
miles by rail from Hereford, but al miles
from Stoneham, q miles from Raymer,
and 22 miles from Buckingham. Even Sligo,
Growers nearest town, gets no advantage,
tation for Grover is purely selfish, one
town propaganda; and while it no doubt
draws some strength from Hereford,
Graham and Gault, it is reasonable to
expect that there will be many even in
these localities who will take broad,
public-spirited view, and cast their votes
for Keota
1t may be said for Keota that, while the
mere fact of her candidacy for selection as
the county seat makes her citizenship liable
to the charge of self-seeking, when all the
facts are considered the charge becomes
one not of reproach, but Of praise. In a
just cause, the community is to be honored
for making good fight and we should be
lacking in stamina indeed if we failed to
demand the reward, the withholding of
which would work greater hardship to
three other communities than to ours.
Keota has consistently worked for county
division, not only in recent months, since
the movement has become popular; but in
the beginning, when everyone approached
on the subject was skeptic Her faith
in the ability of the citizenship of the dry
land portion of Weld to conquer obstacles
and build permanent progressive and in
dependent commonwealth, has never falt-
cred, whatever the attitude of her neigh
bors.
The Keota news., 1914-12-11

In this county seat fight the public spirit
exhibited by Raymer and Stoneham is to be
admired. Realizing their disadvantages as
to location, neither asks for designation as
county seat and both stand squarely for
the central location. The proposition that
it would be unfair to ask large portion of
the people to come to them at one edge of
the county with their business, has coun-
terpart in the proposition that it is unfair
to send their citizens 10 the other end of
the county. And yet, if any community is
entitled to special favor, it would seem to
be Stoneham, where the settlement has
been closer because of the fact that the
land has been taken in quarter sections,
not being subject to entry under the en-
larged homestead law In the northwest
ern portion Of the proposed county, half
section filings and the railroad grant, COW
ering every alternate section, makes the
population much less than it might other
wise be.
A choice example of the kind of argu-
ment advanced by Grover boomers is the
assertion that their station does more rail-
road business than all the other towns on
the line. 1t is not made clear as to whether
by this is meant all the towns touched by
the Burlington system, or only those on the
Sterling Cheyenne branch. In either case,
"exaggeration'' W ouldbe mild term to
apply In common with Keota, the towns
of Hereford, Sligo, Buckingham, Raymer
and Stoneham have reason to feel compli-
mented at this estimate of their combined
volume of business and will no doubt re-
turn the bouquet with their vote.

for county Offices as any other candidate

Weakness of Missouri Primary

The county clerks of the state in
session here condemned the primary
law as we have it in Missouri. They
SAY it is susceptible of abuse in many
ways, and some of the speakers went
so far as to advocate a return to the
old convention plan Of nominating
candidates for public office.
The Missouri primary law will find
few defenders in either public or pri-
vate life;- that its results often are
worse even than could be expected
from the convention plan will not be
denied.
One serious defect of the primary
law as we have it is that the cleo
torate is required to pass on too many
candidates at one time. Ask the av-
erage voter after the primary who he
voted for for governor, congress and
sheriff, and he can tell you. Ask him
who he voted for for state superin-
tendent of schools, for county auditor
and for representatives in the legisla-
ture and he will be at a loss for an
answer. The reason is that he paid
special attention to certain races,
ignoring all others.
This is serious weakness of the
primary law, end in this respect the
convention is superior to the primary
because under the primary there is
no party check on those races in
which the public refuses to interest
itself. Any office seeker, however
INSCRIPTIONS or ineligible, can get
himself nominated for one of those
offices which the public permits to go
by default, and the party is helpless.
For the organization to denounce the
unworthy after the nominations are
closed would be to violate party ira
dition, so the voters are asked to sup
port the bad as well as the good. The
primary law is sound in principle but
does not conform to human nature
