WHAT'S A WAR BETWEEN
FRIENDs2

No such little matter as his atti-
tuds on the war is to be permitted to
come between Senator La Toilette,
and his Socialist friends among the
Nonpartisan league leaders.
Yesterday a copy Of the current
Issue of The Nonpartisan Leader
reached The Forum office. The
Leader looks a trife chastened.
There Is less red ink. It is smaller
and more restrained since it moved
to its bigger field, but nearly three
pages of its twenty-four are devoted
to q warmly laudatory article about
Senator La Follette-the fifth in a
series of indefinite length.
We quote;
I'm one case they tried to start
q horse race just as La Toilette
was starting his speech; but
Ia Toilette moved a wagon right
on the race track, got up in it
and announced that he would
delay the races all afternoon
unless he were given a chance.
He got the chance"
Yes sir. We don't doubt it a bit.
Another time the country started a
war. La Toilette moved right out on
the floor Of the senate and insisted
on his right to make a speech and
then make more speeches. He got
that right also. What's a horse race
OF a war when La Toilette wants to
make a speech?
But evidently the league leaders
feel that the effects Of La Follette's
ST. Paul speech have blown over.
THE NEW SCHOOL PROBLEM.
The board of education presented
the new high school problem very
frankly, in the statement published
81 The Forum Wednesday evening.
THE deal that has been made for
the bonds, conditional upon their ap-
prevail is a fair one The school
board will net par and accrued in

guaranteed bid OF 101, and win pay

In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted to the Task Of
Keeping Up With North Da~
kota Editors,

The para grapher of The Bismarck
Tribune has the following briei
comments:
Republican politicians down at
Washington are complaining that
Wilson isn't calling on Republi-
cans to help manage the war.
It's an unreasonable complaint.
Doc Gar1eld's a Republican,
isn't he?
General Popoff represents Bull
garia in the peace conferences
with Russia. General POpoff is
one of the most vigorous and ac-
tive men in Bulgaria-full of
steam.
1t may be pretty cold getting
to work these days, but it's lot
colder these nights hunting for
Huns in No Mans Land.
The Watford Guide pays the fol.
lowing compliment to Henry Wolfer
the new binder Irvine administrator:
No better selection could have
been made by the government in
the handling of the binding Irvine
OF the country than Henry
Wolfer, former warden of the
Minnesota penitentiary. It was
under Mr.. VOTERS direction that
the Irvine plant was built at the
Minnesota prison and 1t is the
most successful plant in the
country. All Irvine manufacture
ers will cooperate and under
the direction OF Mr. Wolfer the
produce will be sold to the
farmers at the lowest reasonable
cost.
The Halliday Promoter wants the
forces Of right given an even break
with the Devil. 1t says:
There was some talk Of clos
ing the churches I'm the east on
account of coal shortage-heads
OF the church were willing so
long as II was for humanity's
sake, but they wanted the sa-
looms closed also, which was not

A road in Belgium, desolate as

Three unearthly forms seem
gathered together on 1.-THE
ghosts of a Belgian child who has
starved, of a FrenchwOman who
was raped, and of a slain German
soldier. They are hand in hand,
and have paused helplessly, as
If so recently dead as to be I'M

them are impalpably felt the
ruins of church, windmill and
a house or two. Farther down the
road an unreal light seems to
shine from some door or window.
The child is whimpering. The
woman peers anxiously. The SOL
der looks hopelessly on the
ground. All are like shapes in a
dream.

BUSINESS DIGEST.

The August Digest Of the National
Bank OF Delaware, Wilmington branch.
says:
''The general business situation Is
decidedly favorable. The principal fac
tors indicating improvement during
June are heavier bank clearings, in
creasing foreign trade. few business
failures, increasing coal output and an
unsuually favorable crop situation on
nearly all OF the important grains.
Business failures in June numbered
776 compared with 1886 the month be-
fore and i,1i3 a year ago. Liabilities
OF the failed concerns were nine mil
lion dollars compared with II million
dollars a month ago and IS million dol
lars year ago. During recent weeks
failures have been fewer than at any
time during the past ten years. Here Is
concrete evidence that the sales OF Lib
erty Bonds have not interfered with
the proper financing Of business.
Dividend and intereft disbursements
for July will amount TO 33i million
dollars compared with i6i million dol
lars a month ago and 332 million dol
lars a year ago. Dividends will account
for 100 million dollars compared with
ii9 million dollars year ago and inter-
est payments will be 23i million dol
lars compared with 202 million dollars
a year ago. The increase in interest
payments is wholly accounted for by
interest paid on government Obliga-
