with the enthusiasm amtfSg the

there are few who would not admit
that If the capitol were there it
would be better than having It In

Into consideration.

But because It would mean an
enormoiis expense to the state, and
would necessitate a more or leas
disorganized condition of the
state's affairs for a considerable pe
riod, and because the Immediate
advantage to be derived would not
be considerable, there doesn’t seem
to be any reasonable prospect of
the captol being moved, at leaat In

Whether the capitol Is ever mov
