we saw the retirement of Winship's
other protagonists - P1umley and
Brewer OF The Forum. Major Edwards
had long ago crossed the great divide
and on Plum1eys shoulders fell the
burden OF carrying The Forum. Beside
him iabored Brewer. Now both ave
written their farewell lines. Twenty
one years OF service can Brewer boast
since the day ne entered the employ OF
reporter. It cannot have been a score
of years wasted, for despite the bitter
ness that grew from political and q g
tional warfare that marked the time,
there was many a kind word written.
There was good and evil mixed. It
would seem that the men and the
forces that The Forum, under Plumley
and Brewer, supported might have
dealt more generously with them and
might have saved them from such a
finish. Certainly, after a lifetime
spent in such q service, the reward is
meager. There ought to be some COM
pensations. But both men might say
with the famous English cardinal,
HAD I served my God as faithfully
as 1 have served my king I would not
have come to this end" and IL they had
served their own interests and con
their political machine, they would
have no cause to regret it,
