the probable fate Of the prohibition clause in
the South Dakota constitution when II il re.
submitted. Forty-one counties voted on pro.

Tyranny Of the CAal Aarens.
The goal barons who hold monopollstic sway
over the mines in the Monongahela district in
Ohio have concluded to put prices up another
notch. at the same time they have agreed to
limit the production by shntting down, thus
throwing 1900 men out Of employment at the
beginning Of the winter. It Is bad enough to
extort So % ton In Minneapolis for coal that
costs 20 cents ton to produce-that Is, to
bring to the top Of the ground ready for ship
nent; but this last move caps the climax Of the
tyrannlcal coal barons. Nor does 1t help the
matter to know that these same fellows are
shipping the same coal to Belgium, where they
get $2.25 ton for it.

Qal, @ A. Lounsberry, in bis letter to the
Minneapolis Tribune Of Nov. 30, says:
"The question Of name for North Dakota
Will again come up when congress meets
There are men in congress who iuaIst that to
one portion Of the divided territory the name
Dakota should be given and to the other some
other name. When the division bill was first
introduced they tried to give to North Dakota
the name Pembina, but the ordinary pronuncia-
ton gives a Western man the horrors, and that
name was dropped. Then Huron was chosen
BY some one Of the lawmakers, and the bill
passed the senate creating the Territory Of
Huron. But that name did not meet with
favor and 1t was dropped, and for the last few
years Lincoln seems to be the chosen name.
"But North Dakota will not be satisfied with
any other name than the one Of its choice, and
that is North Dokota. No one objects to the
name North Carolina, or South Carolina, OF
West Virgipia-then why should objection be
made to the name North Dakota. We who
use the name and have used It for years, ought
to know whether 1t suits or not We do know,
and we want 1t let alone. Over half Of the
opposition to the division Of Dakota, at one
! time developed In North Dakota, grew out ol
the attempt to take from the North its chosen
name, and the other half grew out Of the dis.
appointment that division was defeated By
pressing North Dakota admission at time
when admission was impossible.
| Il have heard this question Of name dis.
| cussed by the learned committees Of both
the house and the senate with about a. much
satisfaction as mother who had determined
10 call her daughter Julia would listen TO the
cackling Of a lot Of old hens who insisted upon
zezulla or some other outlandlsh name because
Julia was too plain.
"Every attempt to change the name desired
by Dakota people on the partof thsrepresenta.
| tives from New England or the Eastern States
will be looked upon as an attempt to delay OF
defeat the division and admission Of Dakota,
and Dakota is likely to be heard from in nc
uncertain tones in that case.
| sThe question Of the dividing line Is another
thing that interests Dakota people, and they
are likely to express themselves on that point,
too. in very vigorous language. The forty.
| sixth parallel was the original lina suggested,
and until SO Element was made along that line
it didn't make any difference whether The
forty-sixth was merely an Imaginary line, OF
whether It was surveyed line marked By
mounds. But now It makes very great diff.
ference whether that line or the seventh stand.
ard Is chosen. The former, II located BY .
survey, would cut countless towns villages
school districts and farms, leaving part il
North Dakota and part in South Dakota. The
seventh standard is on county and township
lines. It is surveyed line marked BY mounds
i and is from one-half to four miles from thu
