ALL ABOUT The FORUM

Flasher Hustler: The Fargo For
un--North Dakota's newspaper--has
reached its twentieth birthday and to-
day stands prominently in the front
rank as one Of the greatest daily news
papers In the northwest. For twenty
long years The Forum has persistent
ly labored in the upbuIlding and adj
vancemeht OF the best interests Of the
state, and now success and prosperi-
ty knocks at Its door for the good work
done--and PIumIey and Brewer and
the rest OF The Forum gang are Justly
deserving of its all. May multitude
nous waves of success and prosperity
ever come The Forums way.
Lidgerwood Monitor: Al recent Is

Moorhead News: Kernel Brewer has
achieved fame since he celebrated his
twentieth anniversary on The Fargo
Forum. His picture has graced The
Minneapolis Journal and The Publish
ers' Auxiliary, and has become fam
iliar throughout the length and breadth
OF the land. The kernel is entitled
to all the good things that have been
said about him. He has been faith
full worker for The Forum, and the
paper has never been stronger than
during the time he has been its man
aging editor.
Devils Lake Inter- Ocean: Kernel
Charles Brewer, managing editor Of
The Fargo Forum. is remarkable
man, remarkable in that he has been
with this one paper twenty years and
still greets you with smile every time
you enter his Kernel factory. Mr..
Brewer started In with The Forum as
reporter when this paper made Its
bow to North Dakota. He has held
every position in the editorial and
news end Of The Forum. We've got
to hand it to Mr.. Brewer. He's a
sticker and he's winning out.
Adams County Record: The Fargo
Forum recently celebrated Its TWEEN
tieth anniversary. It's career has been
remarkable in North Dakota Journal
ism in that it started in very mod
est way and it now one of the big
gest and most successful newspaper
propositions in the state. 1t is also
remarkable in that the original man
ager, III. G. Plumley, is still manager
and Col. Chas.' Brewer. reporter on
the first issue, is still with the paper
and has for number Of years been its
managing editor Plumley and Brew
or have been a good team and their
united efforts have placed The Forum
where in point Of news service it clear
ly excels in the journalistic field Of
North Dakota. The Forums path has
for the most part been rosy. The men
behind The Forum have been with the
old bunch since the beginning and
have fought valiently for their gang.
No one will gainsay the fact that they
have been amply rewarded. And what
is more the people evidently have stood
by them to a degree that could scarce
" be expected in an enlightened state.
Their methods have been questionable
and not In the interest of the public
welfare--yet peculiar as it may seem,
the public has applauded. A contrast
between The Forum, and The Grand
Forks Herald, under Editor Winship, is
interesting. Winship stood for the bet
ter things yet his was a long and hard
road before he reached either the n
nancial success or the public approval
that he so richly deserved. For stand
ing for right Winship lost many a
fight to say nothing of patronage. He
was read out of the party. He was
called a socialist, populist and mon
grel and every possible obstacle was
placed in his path. The dear public
looked on complacently and II VIM
ship had not been such a courageous
and effective fighter he would have lost
and the dear public would have called
him fool. While Winship was MAX
inc this fight The Forum was following
the easier path to quick and sure
profits by allying itself with one Of the
most corrupt machines that ever DOM
mated a state. Even when the pill
fering OF the public by this machine
gave to the more hrazen attempt to
foot Alaska" The Forum still stood by
the guns and the public applauded.
The public is still applauding Brewer
and Plumley--and Winship has gone
to California. Really II would appear
that the policy which makes for finan-
cial success is the one where the CEN
trail thought is: THE public be damn
