Washington, D. c.. Jan. 29-The
need of an American merchant mar
inc as an auxiliary to the navy form.
ed the principal topic of discussion
in the house of representative today
during the consideration of the ir-
gent deficiency appropriation bill. The
debate was precipitated by Mr.. Lit.
tlefield of Maine, who questioned the
legality of the provision of the bill
apprcpriating $1,OOO,OOO to supply a
deficiency for coal for the navy caus-
ed by the transfer of the battleship
fleet from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
He criticised congress for it's failure
to make appropriations. for a merch.
ant marine. His remarks elected
from Mr.. Fitzgerald of New York, a
charge that the republican prty was
responsible for that condition, while
Mr.. Sherley of Kentucky, maintained
that the lack of a merchant marine.

sPELLlNG> NAMES.
There Mas No Doubt About "Hannah"
Whom the English Lady Finished.

A bygones generation witnessed an
acrimonious controversy in the Irish
family Of O'Conor in County Roscom-
mon as to the right of any branch of
the ancient race to spell the name
thus-with one 'n." That right, it
was maintained, was held only by the
O'Conor Don as head of the house.
So prolonged was the contest between
the partisans of the O'Conor and
O'Connor titles that it was called the
'N-ess' (standing for 'endless') cor
respondence. Finally the question was
referred to Sir j. Bernard Burke, the
Ulster king Of arms. His decision
conceded with decision in certain
other matter-namely, that much might
be said on either side. The two dis
putting families had common origin,
a king of Connaught, and could with
propriety and in accordance with ira
dition spell the name one way or the
other. Fortified by this award" the
two families have continued to spell
their name with one "n'' up to the
present hour.
Equally firm on the question as to
how his name should be spelled was
the witness in case tried in the
kings bench a few years ago. Asked
his name, his prompt reply was John
'Awkins." do you," queried counsel,
spell your name with or without an
H?' The emphatic answer was,
John" As rule, however, as we
have said, variety in the spelling Of
the names Of people, as in that of the
names of places, owes its origin to
people not being so clear as was our
friend regarding how name should
be spelled.
Two stories in illustration of this
occur to us. In the first Mrs. Culver.
full was having christened her latest
baby. The old minister was a little
deaf. "What name did you say?" he
queried. 81 said," replied the mother,
with some asperity, Hannah" "Do.
you," said the other, "mean Anna or
Hannahs" "Look ERE" exclaimed the
now thoroughly exasperated lady, II
won't be hexamined in this way. I
mean 'Haitch-hay- -hen-hay-
Hannahw
The second incident to which we re-
fer is this. Here also there was "a
lady in the case" She was on an err
rand, and she had to deal with the
name of another party. In brief, she
had bought pair Of sleeve links for
her fance when the shopman asked,
"Any initials, miss?' The rest may be
stated thus:
she-Oh, yes; forgot. Engrave q
"U'' upon them for his first name.
Shopman-Pardon me, is 1t Uriah or
Ulysses? Names with ~" are rare,
you know
She proudly)-His name is Eugene

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM

The initiative and referendum
amendment by the last legislature is
still attracting it's share of discussior
and comment, and a number of emf
nently respectable and consistent
temperance advocates have aligned
themselves in favor of the measure
For ourselves, we can see no reason
why an amendment, if it passes
should not provide for the submission
of whatever legislation is desired to
to be submitted, whether affecting
temperance or any other subject. The
Tribune believes that the people are
properly to be trusted with the dis.
posal of such questions as may come
before them, and it is not, we think,
an evidence of either liberality or
good judgment, to seek to deny the
right of referendum upon one partic,l.
lar subject, when admitting that it is
a good thing for other subjects. If
the referendum is good at all, it
should apply equally to all subjects
and it is difficult to see upon what
basis of reasoning any other argu
ment can be made.
Rev. Batten of Grand Forks, in ),
recent discussion of this subject, ex
pressed himself as follows:
In North Dakota an objection

than either of these has been
urged against the adoption of the
initiative and referendum. Peo-
pie who ride a public hobby are
apt to imagine that every move
ment in the interest of larger
freedom Of individual action is
aimed at their peculiar views. So
some of our temperance advocates
more ardent than wise-have
rushed into print to inform the
public that the initiative and ref
1erendun is thinly-veiled at
tempt to repeal the prohibitory
clause of the state constitution.
Some of these Incorporate advo-
Gates of temperance have been
so ungracious as to insinuate that
the whisky trust was behind the
movement, thus rejecting upon
the character and honesty of it's
sponsors. AS a matter of fact,
the introducer of the bill, Mr. Ue-
land, has been consistent pro-
hibitiOnist for years, while the
men who are most strongly urg-
ing the passage of the measure
are earnest supporters of our pro-
hibitory laws. The difference be-
tween them and those who seek
TO arrogate to themselves a mon
opoly of the virtues of temper
ance and honesty is simply in
the fact that the advocates of di-
rect legislation have faith in the
Intelligence and common sense
Of North Dakota citizenship. They
are not afraid to leave the prohi-
bitory law in the hands of the
whole people, and are confident
that it would be sustained by an
overwhelming majority.
As matter OF fact any law
that has not behind it the con-
science of majority of the citi-
zenship in a democracy is an I'M
just and tyrannical exercise of
power, undermining respect for
all law, and productive of law
lessness and anarchy If a major
ity of the citizenship of North
Dakota are opposed to the prohi-
0itory law, ii should be taken
from the constitution. If they are
in favor of maintaining it, as
thoroughly believe, the initiative
and referendum will enable them
10 say so with an emphasis so
nnmistakable as to settle the agi-
Iation for all time.
