it around his waist, stepped out from the

the band.
His Bluff Was Fatal.
When he saw the members indisposed to
take his orders, he pulled out an ugly
looking dirk. He was at once set upon by
half a dozen men, who seemed to be
equally we'll armed. When they got
through with the stranger, who was then
recognized as viii Wallace, he was so
badly cut up that it was apparently i'm
possible for him to live. Will Wallace

Our farmers should now stop their
bowling "down with monopolies,"
and get together and do something
for the good of their country. They
say that the town people fleece them.
At the creamery they got 16c per
pound for their cream. Now they
trade off their farm manufactured
butter for 1oc per pound and arc
swindling our merchants even at that
price, as the merchants cannot find a
market for it. Remember you are
running yourselves by running your
neighbors. If you had kept the
creamery running it would put $50
per day in cash into the poorpeople's
pocket or probably 1900 per month,
which would buy considerable bread
and clothing that would drop where
it is mostly needed.

Senator Fuller, of Jamestown, has
introduced a resolution to re-submit
the prohibition question to a vote Of
the people. Such tomfoolery as this
should be sat on, and sat on hard.
The prohibition clause was put before
the people fairly and squarely last
October, and a majority Of the voters
of North Dakota by their intelligence
voted for constitutional amendment,
and the amendment has now become
a part of our constitution. There is
no sense in voting on question ev-
cry few months to crafty the whims
of a few saloon men. The people
govern; the people have given their
decision, and there is neither sense
nor reason why they should be asked
to vote on this question before con-
stitutlonal prohibition has been fairly
tried. Let our representatives and
senators vote no with a big N when
they vote on this resolution.

ton. The demand for the develop
ment of North Dakota coal mines for
the benefit of North Dakota people,
and the lowering of freight rates so
that cheap fuel will be in the reach of
all is SO general and so earnest that
ultimate success is certain. There
can be no trust. no, monopoly in
North Dakota coal. Mines can be
opened in thousands Of places, and
the attempt of syndicates or capital
to gobble up the coal bearing lands
is forever barred by the state con-
stitution, which provides thatl ssTHE
COAL LANDS OF THE STATE
SHALL NEVER BE SOLD, but
the legislative assembly may, by gen.
eral laws, provide for leasing the
same" The Fargo Argus contains
the following excellent advice in re-
gard to this matter:
The question ofusing native coal is
before the people Of North Dakota.
Petitions should be circulated at
every railroad station asking the rail-
roads to make syecial low rates to
consumers of Dakota coal. Eet
there be a generaluprising of the peo-
pie, and the battle cry-North Dako-
ia coal for North Dakotans!
Let conference be held with the
railroads regarding rates-or legisla-
tive action be had If necessary. This
is one ofthe most important questions
now confronting the people of North
Dakota. The cry is. for cheap fuel.

Talk about cheap hog raising,
North Dakota leads the world in this
respect. VIM. C. Jimeson is feeding
his hogs nothing but screenings from

which is readily devoured and seems
to be very fattening. This is cue
for our farmers who want to raise

cheaper feed than this we would like

1t costs the taxpayers of North
Dakota, through being state, more
than it did when it was territory.
For instance, it costs the state for the
salaries ofits state officers, not includ-
ing the per diem ofthe trustees of the
public institutions, S81, 900, while un-
der a territorial government it cost
only SCI, 900. But then, the taxpay-
ers of great and wealthy common
wealth like North Dakota would not
kick on such small sum as $4,000.

l sAS ASPuOAOoA ASSkSldluIC VI IIlC
state of North Dakota enacted law
for the enforcement of prohibition,
which the governor promptly ap-
proved, and thereby redeemed the
pledge of the party made in the state
convention last summer. The party
has made good its pledge, whatever
may be said on the action Of the few
individual members of the party who
voted against the bill. That is now
matter for them to settle with their
individual constituencies. With the
wish father to the thought, the demo-
cratic journals have predicted that
our republican legislature dared not
carry out that pledge. These demo
cratic journals and politicians, aided
and abetted by some of the cold
gang" republicans, acting from differ
ent motives but to the same purpose,
have held the whisky ring club over
the republican party to prevent the
iulilllment this pledge. The dem
ocrats we'll knew that if the
republican party failed to fulfill
that pledge it would disgust and ali
enate a large portion of its strength,
and the s'old gang" republicans de-
pend upon the whisky ring for their
support, and without it they must
take a rear position in the control of
the party. 1t is easy to be seen that
these political elements had suffi-
cient motive for the combined action
they took in opposition to the enact
ment of prohibltory law. The
democrats are disappointed. The
cold gang" are disconnected in their
scheme. But the true republican
party of North Dakota stands higher
and stronger in the confidence of the
people than ever before. The foiled
; democrats and cold gang" croakers
are now vieing with each other in
their predictions of dire calamity to
the republican party in consequence
Of carrying out the pledge. But the
republican party has heretofore
!, thrivcd on such calamities as are
) brought upon it by fulfilling its
pledges to the people and it will like
wise thrive on this. 1t alienated all!
it ever will lose last year by taking
this advance step with the progress of
the age, but did not gain all it ever
will gain. There are thousands of
democrats in North Dakota who are
strong prohibitionists in principle,
stronger prohibitionists than they are
democrats. These will now withdraw
from the party that persistently
throws itself across the path of pro-
gress and proclaims itself the champi-
on of the saloon cause, and unite with
the republican party which champi-
ons the cause of principle and pro-
gress. The republican party of
North Dakota will take no backward
step in prohibition. If the demo-
Gratis and cold gang" republicans
want to combine against the republi.
can party in this state let them do so.
The republican party has nothing to
fear from such an issue before the in
telligent people of North Dakota

tits possible that Governor Miller
will veto the Fargo Agricultural Col
lege bill on the ground that it is un-
constitutional. The governor is de-
termined to carry out his proposed
line of economy as indicated in his
message, and if any large appropria
tons get through this winter it will
be over the governors veto. Econ
omy practiced by the state legislature
al few years will put North Dakota on
a good footing, and in order to carry
this out we have got to have an exc
cutive who will see that the rights of
the people are observed. Governor
Miller appears to be built that way.
