THE CAPITAL
A Public Demand For a Change
In Its Location
Tlie Center of 1'opiilaiion and
AeecftKaliility and \ot tlie
Geographical Center Deter
mining Factorii
The Pierre papers are pub
lishing an article headed with
•'Some reasons why the state
capitalshouid reamaiu at Pierre."
The first reason given is that
Pierre is at the geographical
center of the state. But this is
no argument at all to practical
men when the fact is borne in
mind that it is the convenience
of the people of the state and
not a geographical sentiment
that should have weight iu the
proper solution of the question.
No person who has ever had to
make the trio to Pierre from
The argument of the Pierre
boomers that the location of the
capital in that city 'will help to
develop the western part of the
state'is absurd. It is not capitals
that, develop countries. It re
quires natural resources to
cure immigration to any section
of country, and not all the cap
itals in the world will develop
or populate a country not fitted
by nature to sustain population.
The history of the past ten years
has proveu this true in the case
at point. The settlement and
development of the staje has al
ready been defined and its agri
cultural, mining and grazing sec
tions established, and no amount
of capital talk can change the
facts of nature.
The closer the jpapital is to the
people the less the taxes will be,
and the location of the capital
at Mitchell would result in the
saving of more than twelve'
hundred dollars to the state at
the meeting of every legislature,
to say nothing of the saving to
individuals in both time and
money, and this will continue to
be the case during all the years
to come.
Three-fourths -of the people
living in the state north of
Mitchell can visit it and return
the same day and have four
hours for business. The great
majority of those residing south
of it have to pass through it and
travel 100 miles farther to reach
the present capital.
Nine-tenths of the people of
the state have to go to Wolsey to
get to Pierre, and when they get
Ah
any place east of the Jim river people who believed that a move
but has felt that the capital at, would be a good thin"*, aud con
its present location is out of se'quently gave up his comfort-
place. This is attested by the!
fact that at the meeting of almost
every legislature since the cap
ital was placed at Pierre there
has been a more or less deter
mined effort to give the people
an opportunity to make a change,
and only because of the rivalry
of the several towns, auy of
which would have been more
accessible than Pierre to the
great majority of the people of
the state, has the re submission
of the question been averted.
The last legislature was over
whelmingly in favor of bringing
the question to the people that
the capital might be placed in a
more convenient locality. It is
a well known fact that the west
ern part of the state, except the
Black Hills, which is devoted to
miniug, is simply a grazing
country totally unfitted for gen
eral agricultural purposes, and
will never be capable of sustain
ing anything but a sparse popu
lation. It is an injustice aud a
continual expense to the slate
to Qompell the people of the pop
ulous portion of the common
wealth to travel 100 miles for
the privilege of being at the
geograghical center of the state.
The center of population, present
and perspective,aud convenience
in reaching the capital are the
vital things to be taken into con
sideration in its proper location.
Few capitals are located in the
geographical center of the state,
and those that are so located arcj
practically in the center of popu
lation as well. The people of
both Kansas and Nebraska acted
intelligently in this matter and
made no attempt to place their
capitals in the geographical cen
ters, but both sought the center
of population and convenience
of the people of their states, and
their wisdom has been fully jus
tified by the parsing years.
LOTS OF TKOI BLE
Frcdricksoii Couldn't Hire
a Hall, and ix Wccling with
Grief sincc lie Left Ills
NouI Ii Dakota Home
The subject of the following
item takeu from a Spokane daily
,l^tper, is one of the Grant county
able home and took his departure
for the heavenly delights of the
Pacific coast, where he is denied
even the benefit of hiring a hall
to tell his troubles in. Freder
icksou not only had a hall pro
vided for him in Milbank, but
has had an audience drummed up
for him in times past. But there
are brighter people than Fred
ericksou who get away from a
good thing iu leaving tbe old
hom e. Here is what the Spokan©
paper says:
C. Frederiekson, who lives near East
Spokane postofflce, tells a story of
irrief and claims to be the victim of
the stern law, in that he has been,
with his family, kept in quarantine
for four weeks on the charge that his
12 year old daughter had the small
pox when in reality, he claims, it was
not that disease, flis story is in
stance, as follows:
"My daughter ha9 been sick for 10
years, and physicians have gotten
most of my money trying to cure her,
and linally pronounced her case hope
less. I came here from South Dakota
last November, after giving up doctors
got a psychic healer to treat her. lie
treated her by lying on his hands ?ind
forcing the disease out of her. Finally
she broke out In a rash, which was the
disease leaving her. Dr. Morrison
pronounced it smallpox, when it was
not, and kept us in quarantine.
''Now my daughter is better than
she has been fbr 10 years, and is im
proving. My wife's health is very
bad through worry. I wanted to lent
a hall to talk to the people, but it cost
too much, so that I want to appeal to
the people through the newspapers. I
wish they could do something to cheer
up my wife. She is almost a wreck.
I do not know whether they will come
to our hoise or invite us to meet witU
them, but I wish they would d? some
thing."
To §up|il) War ,\cu*
The manager of the local branch off
tice of JOdwards, Wood &: Co.. brokers,
inform Us that in case Japan and
ltussia come' to blows the oltice here
will give regular bulletins as to the
progress of hostilities in the Orient.
The dissemination of general news
is not new with this firm. Thev have
made a practice of it from the first, as
everyone who frequents their office
is well aware. A great many men
make it a point to visit their oltice for
late bits of news. This feature com
bined with the continuous quotations
of the markets forms an attractive
feature of Edwards, Wood & Go's,
office. Everyone is welcome to visit
their loc&l office during Ipi-sure hours
se- i is not an exclusive place in any
sense and no one who visits them is
under the slightest obligation to pat
ronize them.
For ItetfiNter oi'Ieed»
I hereby respectfully announce my
self as a candidate for the office of
Register of Deeds of Grant county,
S. D.. subject to the decision of the
republican county convention. .1 will
greatly appreciate the support of my
friends in my candidacy.

miles
nearer to Mitchell than to Pierre.
Mitchell with its splendid rail
road facilities north, south, east
and west, by which travel to
and from almost every part of
the state is made easily and
quickly, is in strong contrast to
Pierre, where a single line of
railroad from the east is the only
means of reaching the place.
Those who have ever made the
journey from the north part of
the state certainly rOalize that
the capital is misplaced in it*
present location.
