tVOIJSEY, B. It Kvb. s -i8im l1.)-Tli
tjutlon of ths removal nf the state capltol
of South I'nknta from I'lerre to fnm more
ei-reselblc point U one that Is of vital In
terest t (very resident a lid property owner
of the state. Ahnul the only thing- that
ran be said in favor of I'lerre, the present
capital. In th.it it lira near the geographic al
center of thi' stutc, and when that Is ad
mlttrd all l nilmltied thut (an give IMrrre
any claim to that distinction. A capital of
a state should lie lorated without refer
ence to the needs of any community or
section, or the demand of real estate oper
ators. It belongs to the people and should
le placed where It will be most convenient
to the majority nf the iltlxens of that
etatc. Sentiment should have no part In It.
Hut few capitals are lorated In th geo
graphical centers and those that are so
located are In the center of population as
well with the exception of nerre. The
capitals of Kansas and Nebraska are both
located near the east lines of their respec
tive states, and they are today nearer the
center of population than when located
thirty or forty years ago. The capital of
South Dakota is as far away from the
center of population as when placed there
thirteen years ago.
Nebraska is located directly south of
Bouth Dakota. The population of the west
half of the state Is IZt.Oftft; of the east half,
!43.W. The division of population of Kan
ras' Is practically the same. The census
Khows that the west half of the state haa
lost population In the last ten years, while
the east half has made a steady gain.
Distribution of I'opnlatloa.
South Dakota by the last census (190O)
had t'll.STO population. Of this number
334.41 are credited to the state east of the.
Missouri river, and but 67,0S9 west of It.
Of this last named number over 15,000 are
Jmllans, leaving the white population west
the river but a little over 4,ono, and
nearly four-fifths of these confined to the
Ulaik Hills. The state Ims been well set
tled aa far west as the Missouri river for
twenty years; the section west of It and
between the river and the Tllack Hills weU
. develoied as far an its natural advantages
go for almost as long. The country west
of I'lerre. was thrown open to settlement
fifteen years bro. If the filing at the Pierre
land office should keep up at the present
rafe of the past two yeurs Hnd every filing
meant a settler It would take fifty years
to populate the range country as the east
lalf Is settled even though the last named
tectlon stood still.
The nearer the capital can be placed tf
Ihe people the more wholesome the legisla
tion and the better the laws. The location
it the state capital at Mitchell would not
anly enable a large number of people to
visit the seat of government ' during the
legislative sessions who lira now denied
'.he privilege on account of inaccessibility,
tut to enable the mernbers of the legls
ature to visit their homes over Hunday
tnd be on hand ready for business Monday
morning. It would mean a mingling of the
peoples representatives with their con
itltuents all through the assemblies some
thing .that haa net'er taken place since the
capital waa established at Pierre.
Of the entire state's population over one-
half are within a circle drawn at a radius
of ino miles aroundMitchelI, or In exact
numbers 248.000. A circle of the same dl
r meter drawn around Pierre contains but
SO.fW white and lS.ono Indians.
Mitchell Easily Reanlied.
Mitchell la one of the most accessible
points from all parts of Bouth Dakota of
any city in the state. It Is located on
- both the Milwaukee and Northwestern rail
way systems and twelve passenger trains
arrive and depart dally, and half as many
. freighter-all of which carry passengers.
Three-fourths of the people living In the
state north of Mitchell can visit It the same
day and have four hours for business. The
greet majority of those residing south of
It have to pass through it and travel 160
mllea farther to reach the'preaent capital.
Ntr.e-tenths of tha people of the state have
to come to Wolsey to get to Pierre, and
whin they get here they are fifty-two
miles nearer to Mitchell than to Pierre.
It will not cost the state a dollar to move
tha capital from Pierre to Mitchell. The
provides free use of a new and hand-
ne fireproof granite Duuuing, especially
designed for a capltol building, until such
time aa tha state ran dispose of K.OOO acres
of land to advantage, granted for the pur
pose, by tha general government. This
building will be ample In dimensions and
appointments for a capltol for many years
to come. If Mitchell la defeated Pierre
will ask an 'appropriation of $l.noo,nnfl for a
capltol building at the hands ot the next
legislature. -
The state records at Pierre are now In
constant danger from Are. They are of
priceless value. If taken to Mitchell they
will be safely stored In ample fireproof
vaults In the building now In course of
construction, and safe from all harm.
Roomy vaults "will also be provided for the
supreme court library.
Mitchell is in every way desirable for a
permanent seat of government for South
Dakota. It Is a solM, progressive city,
provided with every public utility and
shove the average city of4 the first-class
In morals and good ritisenshlp. II h I
city of schools and churches, and sll of
the loading frsternal societies are repre
sented hy thrifty and enterprising lodge.
It Is a city that never had a "setback"
since It was founded, and It Is possessed
of numerous natural advantages. The city
In l!i contained a population of 2.217. and
since that time its population has Increased
to over .w. showing the greatest percent
age of gain of any city In the state. New
hotels that will eo.ua! any hostelries In the
west are now In process of construction,
one. tho Wlldman, Is building at a cost of
$1"0.'XI0.
