etor Of the Forum since the death
of Major Edwards few wears ago,
retires.
The Forum under the manage
ment of Mr. Plumley, has been q
splendid paper. In fact, Mr..
Plumley fell into the error that
constantly tempts newspaper men,
of giving Fargo a much better
paper than the patronage of the
town justified him in doing AS a
consequence, the paper fell into
financial straights, and went into
the hands of a receiver, and now
has passed out of the hands Of Mr..
Plumley, who with Major Edwards
founded the paper twenty-One
years ago. The fate of the Forum
Is an illustration of the fact that
any newspaper is largely as its pa
irons make it, Also. a newspaper
quite correctly reflects the progress
sive qualities of the town in which
it is printed. Newspaper editors
may boast as they will Of the pro-
gressiveness of their home town;
news editors may play up as they
will the improvements being made,
the growth claimed for their town
but if the advertising columns Of
the paper do not reflect the same
conditions of prosperity and hustle
the work of The news editoran the
editorial writer goes largely for
naught. SO las it been with the
Fargo Forum. Printed in town
of II, 900, the Forum has given its
readers paper worthy Of a town
OF 25, 900 inhabitants.
But the advertising columns OF
the paper did not keep pace with the

and the Forum has changed
hands-possibly entering the own
ership of man who will insist On

SOUTH DAKOTA'S
LABOR CONTRACT
Investigation of Shirt Contract Sue.
gested By Sioux Falls
Journal.

There are matters in connection
with the shirt contract Of the South
Dakota penitentiary which would
seem to warrant an investigation.
A few weeks ago this paper
quoted figures showing the eX-
tremely low price paid for convict
labor in the factory as compared
with other states. The journal
was informed at that time that
South Dakota received 3G cents Il
dozen for shirts and the task for
each prisoner was a dozen and a
half a day, making prisoner S
earnings 81 cents day. Since
that time reader has been making
some figures, the result being start
ling and not at all in accord with
the report of the state board OF
charities and corrections.
1t seems that for the first fiscal
wear under the new contract there
were an average of 120 prisoners
employed in the SHIRT factory.
Were 3OS working days that year,
Getting down to simple arithmetic
12O prisoners at 81 cents day
amounts to $64 so. Working 3OS
days they would earn total OF
$19,9JS. 40 in year whereas the
last report of the state board OF
charities and corrections show total
earnings of only $4,000 for two
years, or $40, 900 year.
The presumption is that the
state doesn't get "A cents a day
per prisoner, but rater less than
30 cents. But this isn't all profit
as the state furnishes the building

MAY ENLARGE
THE CABINET
Secretary of Labor May Be Author.
lied at Early Session of
CONGRESS.

Washington, Nov. II. 1t APP
pears quite likely that congress, at
the cOmiEg session, will complete
the passage Of the bill providing
for secretary OK labor with seat
in the presidents cabinet. The
bill went through the house at the
last session, and was ordered fav-
orab!y reported from the senate
committee on education and labor.
1t has no opponents in the senate
so far as known, and therefore it's
passage through the body is conf
IDENTIFY expected. This is the view
of the leaders of organized labor
and Of members of the two houses
Of congress who have been pushing
this legislation.
With the passage Of this bill,
the cabinet will be increased from
nine members to ten. The new
department will gather together al
of the federal agencies having any.
thing to do with labor and n.olG
them into harmonious whole
The eXistance of such q depart
ment. it is alleged, would greatly
aid in the work of securing labor
peace in the United States. Ulti
mateIy the prediction is made that
congress, having provided for
der artment Of labor, would enact
legislation bearing more forcefulll
than at present on the question OF
federal intervention in case o
strikes, etc, and the presence j,
the cabinet of an official making ;
specially of all labor questions
would not only give the govern
ment at all times first hand infor
nation on these questions, but in
formation that would be accorat,
and therefore trustworthy.
The secretary of labor, it is
assumed, would always be a mem
ber of organized labor or accept
able to it. In view of the prOba
bility that the new department vii
be created in time for the president
elect to fill it, two prospective
candidates for appointment have
already appeared, both Of them
by the way, at present members o
the house Of representatives. One
