COMMENT ON
FORUM CHANGE.

The Grand Forks Herald under the
heading, H C.. Plumley, says:
This is not an obituary notice, but
merely comment on the fact thai
mfr. Flumley has severed hts active
connection with the newspaper work
Of North Dakota The sale Of The
Fargo Forum was to him, as he ex-
presses it, like parting with a MEM
ber of the family, and he may rest
assured that his giving up newspaper
work viii strike all of the older mem-
bers of the fraternity imp the state in
much the same manner.
Mr.. Plumley and the late. Major
Edwards were among the earliest
newspaper men in the state. For
years their fortunes were bound up in
the progress of The Forum, and they
built up an institution which has
grown and prospered, and have pro-
duced a newspaper which is a neces-
sity In an immense number of homes.
Since the death of his partner the
management of the paper has had
the care of Mr., Plumley. and he has
devoted himself assiduously to that
work. He says he has not made a
great deal Of money at 1t, and we all
wish he might have made more. But
at any rate, he has endeared himself
to the newspaper workers of the state
by his genial disposition, his desire for
the welfare OF the state and the pub
fishing business, his Willingness TO
help out a friend in time Of trouble,
and by a host OF other good qualities.
Whatever his line of endcavor may
be in the future, may he live long
and prosper. .-
While these lines are written with
special reference to Mr.. Plumley. 1t
is proper to close them with a word
of welcome to his successor, Mr.. Dot
son. He enters upon a fine field, and
he win find in the newspaper men of
North Dakota as fine a lot of men as
he ever met, and they will all do their
best to make him feel at home.

TOTAL SOCIALIST
VOTE 100000
NOT As LARGE AS LEADERS HAD
ExPECTED--RERGER's DE.
FEAT DISAPPOINTING

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE returns
indicate that the vote of the socialist
party in the recent election will not be
as large as the socialist leaders had
confidently predicted. They had ex-
pected to poll 100000 votes, but in
stead OF that they viii get only about
100000. Some time will elapse before
the country's popular vote has been
pfiicially counted and the exact size of
the socialist vote Is known. but 100, =
900 is a close estimate of It But even
at 100000 the socialist vote shows a
large gain as compared with previous
years In 1900 it was ony 127. $50. In
1908 the number had increased to
A34.68s, and If it should be 100000 now
the gain In four years will have been
66 per cent.
notwithstanding this growth, how
aver, the socialist leaders express dis
appointment over the results OF the
eIectior. For instance, they can
scarcely reconcile themselves to the
defeat of Rep. Victor Berger, the lone
socialist member OF congress, for, re !
election Strenuous EFFORTS were made
to send him back for second term.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Democracy' s
great victory on Nov. 5. means among
other things that during the next two
years at least the, states below the
Mason and Dixon's line will have, a
larger share in the government Of this
country than has been the case be-
fore in many years-in fact, since the
first half of President Cleveland's sec
ond term.
In both houses of congress south
ern democrats by reason of their
superior numbers have very generally
been able in the past to control the
democratic representations. This
has availed them little as the repub-
ficans have been in power. Now the
tables are turned. Though in the
next congress there win be more
democrats from the north than from
the south, the latter will probably
dominate by reason of their greater
legislative experience. Men new to
Washington have small place in party
councils.

"PLUM."

Bismarck Tribune: Everybody
knew Plum" Of The Forum. He
was one of the 'old guard" in
North Dakota newspaperdon- He
was one Of the early day workers
with Edwards, Jewell, Jordan,
Quinn, Donan, Winship and a
number of others who encountered
the adversities and breasted the
storms of early days. He was al
ways kind, courteous, generous,
cordial, friendly and human. No
man ever in the newspaper field of
the state had more genuine
friendships than Plum"
In the mutations OF time and
the changes that come about
through the passing Of years and
the forming of new conditions,
Plum passes from The Forum.
He and Major Edwards founded
II when they went out of the old
Argus. Starting with nothing but
a host of personal friends through
the state they founded and built
UP The Forum. They carried it
together through many years of
hardships and trials. The pass
ing of Major Edwards occurred a
number of years ago. Since then
Plum has been at the helm
alone.
1t Is a genuine sorrow to see
Plum" pass from the field he has
occupied SO long. The Forum will
go on, but it will lose the old per-
sonal element that made it SO well
known. But the memory of Plum"
will not pass. It will remain in
the hearts of many old time
friends. And 1t is to be hoped
that in the mellow years of his
life he may have much pleasure,
much of philosophical recollec-
tions, many years of peace and
prosperity and the rest from the
burdening cares Of daily newspa-
per work that he has earned and
deserves.

Ruling
Nsrth Dakota Has a Similar

Law Prevents Sales to Kill
Competition

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE supreme
court of the United States today de-
cided it was not necessary to hear ar
guments in favor of the constitution
ality of the South Dakota unfair
sales law. This was generally ac-
cepted as equivalent to decision in
support of the law.
The courts action was taken at the
conclusion of arguments by attorneys
for the Central Lumber CO., who had
attacked the anti monopoly statute.
The law made it a crime TO sell in one
community cheaper than in another
with intent to destroy competition.
Minnesota. Iowa, North Dakota, Kan

and Nebraska have laws similar to

arm OF the patient, the operation last
ing thirty five minutes. Both are ex-

girl just before her departure last
evening, was to have met her
here and they were to be married. but
he failed to come and the girl return
ed to her own home, which she had
departed from only a few days ago in
happy anticipation of marriage.
Miss James was the guest of a,
and it was in that manner that her
story became known.
Mr.. Mcqueen, the supposed groom
to-be, and Miss James, had become
engaged about seven months ago at
Des Moines, where the young man was
employed. He left there about three
months ago, going to Winnipeg, and
she had heard from him constantly.
Three weeks ago they fixed Nov,

ried here.
Miss James arrived in Grand Forks
on the evening of Nov. 8, and
waited patiently the day following for
the arrival of her fiance.
Gave Her Wrong Information.
( The day passed. and the intended
groom failed to come. Then another
day had almost passed before she be-
came alarmed at the possibility that
something had happened.
Telephone inquiry was made of the
firm In Winnipeg for which he had
said that he was employed. and such
inquiries developed the fact that Nc
Queen had not been engaged with the
company at any time.
This news broke the girls heart, for
her worst fears were practically real
lied, but she spent one more day here
in the vain hope that he might yet
come TO her. The day passed, and last
night she left for home again.
Supposed Groom Rool<keeper.
The supposed intended groom is ii
bookkeeper. according to the girl, and
/ in Des Moines he was making good
money and gained the confidence OF
many He made his home there about
"a year. and his removal to Winnipeg
was made, she said, ON the plea that
he had a better opening there.
Previous to her departure from Des
Moines, Miss James was the guest at
cipation of her approaching marriage.
Miss James is normal school

say when it comes to directing the
course of legislation in the upper
house during the next two years.
The first business of the new ad-
ministration will be a revision of the
existing tariff Governor Wilson has
denounced the present tariff SO round
ly that he will probably feel 1t his
duty to call a special session next
spring. .....
The tariff is the greatest of all
trouble makers. 1t was the MCkin
ley tariff of 1890 that brought about
republican defeat in 1892. 1t was
the Wilson tariff of 1898 which more
than anything else overthrow the
last Cleveland administration. Al
though the republicans got by with
the Dingey tariff of 1897, the Payne
Aldrich tariff played havoc with the
party in 1910, and was partially re-
sponsible for the democratic land
