In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted To The Task OF Keen
ing Up With North Dakota Editors

The Halliday Promoter pays it's respects Il
Congressman Norton. as follows:
say what you want to about the Nonpart-
lsan league not endorsing Hon. P D. Norton
for congress from this district, but you must
admit that Mr.. Norton has been right on
every farmer proposition that has come be-
fore congress, and all you have to do is to
look him UP. He has been four square on
the war question at all times. and while we
never supported him, we now prefer him to
anything in sight: but as one paper puts it:
"ToWnley has no use for Norton because
he committed the objectionable sim of vot-
ing for war Germany, after she had sunk
our unarmed ships. and sent to the bottom
Of the ocean hundreds of American
citizens We predict that this is the last
, campaign Townley will run for the Nonpart-
isan league. The farmers will take it over
themselves.

NEWS AND COMMENT.

President Wilson has asked Charles
Evans Hughes to assist Attorney General
Gregory in his investigation Of the aircraft
situation. 1t is a generous and courageous
act. The President is asking his recent OPP
ponent to investigate the conduct Of one Of
the most important war departments
against which grave charges have been
made. If either Mr.. Wilson or Mr.. Hughes
were man of smaller caliber, such pro-
ceeding would be impossible, but it assures
the people that they will learn the truth.
Almost any little nation seems to feel
itself capable Of carving a slice out of Rus
STA. Poor little whipped Rumania did it,
and now Finland proposes to take Russian
Karelia and create Greater Finland. The
White Guards, since they cleared Finland
of the Bolshevik Red Guards, have caught
the German virus.
Great Britain 8 net around the submar-
inc is closing in. The British navy has
completed the work of mining the North
Sea between the coasts of Norway and
Scotland. There is an area of %, 900 square
miles thoroughly mined. The barrier
across the Straits of Dover blocks access to
the channel. Many weapons have been
used against the submarine, and they are
slowly winning.
