OUR FoRTIETtI BIRTHDAY.

The Fargo Forum passed it's for
tieth birthday yesterday. On Novem-
Der 18th. 1873. The Fargo Republican
was established. In November, 1890,
The Fargo Forum was launched as a
daily paper by Major Edwards. Some
time later the two papers were con-
solidated. and since that time the
paper has been continuously publish
ed as The Fargo Forum and Daily
Republican.
Age in newspapers. like years in
individuals. is to be desired when it
brings with 1t an honorable standing
and the respect Of the community
that knows it best. The Forum has
had all the troubles and grief that
come with the establishing Of a news
paper in new community, but in
spite of it all 1t has remained firm
| in its advocacy OF sound principles
in business and politics. The faith
OF it's founders in Fargo and North
who have succeeded them in the d.
Erection Of the policy of the paper.
ITO those splendid men who shaped
i it's policy and brought it through its
most trying days-Major Edwards,
long since passed to his reward, and
tJ. J. Jordan and n. c. Plumley, still
living and highly respected residents
iof F'argo-the present management
bows in grateful admiration.

WAR PROBLEMS AND CONGRESS-

Senator Cummins, of Iowa, has in
troduced a resolution, which was
previously approved by the Republt'
can conference committee OF the SEN
ate, calling for the appointment of six
Joint committees Of the senate and
house, consisting Of five from each
body, to consider the various recon-
struction problems growing out Of
the war. Tho resolution will I'M
doubtedly meet with vigorous oppo-
sitlon from the democratic members
and the administration itself. but to
the Iayman it would appear that this
would be a very safe and sensible
way of handling these great prob"
lens, as each committee would be
composed of six democrats and foul
republicans. while the democrats are
in the majority, and the reverse wheu
the republicans come into the ma
jority in the organization Of the next
congress.
The democratic leaders contend
that these matters should be handled
by the administration. but we believe
they are of too much importance to
be left to any set Of individuals Of
to any one political party. However
much we may admire the President
and his handling Of the war problems
recent developments have demon
strated that after all he is just an
ordinary mortal of clay, capable OF
making foolish builders in great
matters when the personal interest
of his own political party appears to
be at stake. The best minds and the
best leadership of all the political
parties, working together, will be un'
able to furnish all the brains neces'
sary for the best reimbursement Of our
social and economic problems fol-
lowing the completion Of ultimat"
and, we trust. universal peace.

BAER's WAY.

With a program incubating in con-
gress for sweeping reorganization ne
acesstated by the changed conditions
brought about by the war. and every
one realizing that only clear heads
and unselfish interest must obtain in
the readjustments, Congressman Baer
goes out and addresses a gathering
OF soldiers in true Bolshcvik style
ana tells them a lot of bunk that
would imply that the people as
whole are about to be knocked down
robbed and thrown out.
! OF course, Congressman John has
sbeen brought up that way. No issue
iii this state, fathered by the League
leaders, has ever been presented and
argued to a finish in a dispassionate
way. A deluge of billingsgate has
accompanied the first charge and
nothing better has ever been offered
supposedly intelligent people, so the
congressman proceeds to introduce
ibis subject with talk that would pre-
a5udice his hearers at the jump off.
4 But it must be remembered that
Congressman Baer, although elected
Ion the Republican ticket, is no Re
publican, and undoubtedly had that
Republican majority in congress in
mind when predicting dire disaster
ito the country, and the imminence of
{Bolshevism. If there is anyone in
this country who ought to know all
about these dangers it is the advisers
and masters of the congressman from
this state.

THE BILL 70 BE PAID.

According to the Federal Reserve
Board bulletin the cost Of the war
will have reached the enormous sum
of two hundred billion dollars by the
first OF the year, and from an annual
interest charge Of about one billion
dollars the various nations mixed up
more or less intimately with the con-
9Iict will pay about ten billion. Add
10 this financial bill the awful
charge of death and the thousands OF
cripples for life and some idea Of
the magnitude of the crime William
of Hohenzollern and his advisers Have
committed can be conceived.
Yet we have people Of such mon
strous generosity amongst us that
they would forget and forgive these
men because their people had per-
mitted themselves to be taught that
auch a wanton destruction Of life and
money and property was admissible
70 long as the attacked paid most

The Czechs are not enthusiastic
about the American aid saying those

THE LIGHTING QUESTION.

The Union Light Heat and Power
company, through a series of arti-
Giles in Fargo newspapers, is pre-
senting to the people its arguments
and reasons for the raise in gas and
electric rates in the city OF Fargo.
The peremptory and seemingly I'M
reasonable raising of the rates last
summer created a very antagonistic
feeling among the users of gas and
electricity. 1t was unfortunate that
the raise, even though absolutely nee
essary for the company's business
existence, should have come on the
very eve of political campaign
when the business merits of the adj
vance could not be considered dis
passionately. Political demagouges
sought to capitalize the situation for
the. purpose of obtaining office, in
spite OF the fact that the company
and Athe city commission were MAX

Investigated by the proper state au-

The Forum, in company with the
large majority of Fargo citizens who
are technically uniformed, believed
that the rates were too high, but it
cautioned caImness until the matter
could be properly investigated and
tie reasons for the advance carefully

Better Conditions Prevail

Berlin, Thursday, Nov. 14.-(via
Amsterdam)-For the first time
since the founding of the German
empire the "Marseillaise" was play
ed by a German band heading a pro-
cession down Inter der Linden to-
day.
Present indications are that saner
councils wilt dictate governmental
policy in Germany. The converting
of the constituent assembly Is being
urged in diplomatic and political
quarters not identified with the
present cabinet in Germany, on the
plea that it will facilitate peace ne
gotiations. 1t is believed that Gugo
Haase secretary for foreign affairs,
and Wilhelm Dittmann, secretary of
rehabilitation and transport, jus
tice and health are receding from the
attitude that the new republic is to
be purely socialistic. The more
moderate members of the govern
ment are disposed rigidly to exclude
the bourgeoisie elements from the
government. DIR. Karl Liehknecht,
the leader of the radicals, is appar-
emily deserted by his former COL
leagues.
Secretary Haase said today:
Every hour produces new prob
lens. The national assembly can be
convened only when the qualified
voters list is completed. One of the
greatest difficulties encountered Is
the compilation of the list Of wom-
en- voters who now have the ballot.
