WAS NO LONGER FRUIT SALAD. -
'tOh man! You were fruit salad Fruit
salad, I tell you! could have speared you
with my eyes shut. "
Such was the comment made by fellow
aviator to James Norman Hall, author-avi-
ator, after his first trip over the German
lines.
Captain Hall tells of it in the latest of
his series of articles on High Adventure"
published in the current Atlantic.
Yesterday came news that Captain Hall
was missing, and probably had gone to his
death in battle with a Hun.
But he was no longer fruit salad" He
was a skilled, resourceful and courageous
airman, and he met his death like soldier
and a gentleman, fighting against superior
odds. Those who have followed his High
Adventure" and other writings on the war
will feel sense Of distinct loss, even
though they had never heard of James
Norman Hall Of Colfax, Iowa, before the
war.

from 100000 to 100000 men, according to
the widely varying estimates, only to be
stuck in the mud But they can't afford
to abandon the offensive yet, in the face
of the growing unrest at home, the disturb
ances in Russia and the steadily increasing
strength of the American army. They
must attack again, and that attack should
come in the old sector east Of Amiens.
Another terrific effort to capture this city
is expected by the Allied commanders, and
they are preparing for it.

THE MINOT PLATFORM.

There are just eight paragraphs in the
platform adopted at the Minot convention,
and The Forum proposes to discuss them
one at a time.
Not tho least important of these eight
paragraphs is the preamble. Read it care
fully:
1--WE, the citizens Of North Dakota from
various sections Of the state and Of vartoas
political parties and factions, representing
the sentiments of large numbers of people
in respective communities. assembled in
meeting at Minot, this first day Of May.
1918, having the welfare Of our state and
its people at heart, deem 1t our duty, in view
Of the deplorable political and economic con-
ditions in the state and nation, to appeal to
the people to be committed to the following
political and economic program until the
ends sought have been substantially OBJ
tanned"
Note that they were "citizens Of North
Dakota" not members of tight corpor
alton, pledged blindly to follow self-ap-
pointed leaders.
Note that the mass meeting was an
open affair, the proceedings being public,
and not a secret caucus held at midnight
Note that they were of various political
parties and factions. That was literally
true. There were Democrats, Republicans,
Progressives and former Nonpartisan
leaguers at that meeting. No more repre-
sentative gathering could have been Sc
cured. The delegates included farmers,
laboring men, merchants, bankers lawyers
and men from virtually every business and
profession.
And note the purpose set forth. Is it not
"deplorable" situation when man who
is under indictment and who presided with
every show Of approval at the La Toilette
meeting in st. Paul, should dictate the gov
eminent Of the state of North DakotaY Is
it not deplorable that Socialist such as
the Nonpartisan league leaders have re-
peatedly proven themselves to be, should
be dangerous candidate for mayor of St.
Paul, running on platform Of announced
opposition to the war, while American SOL
diers by the hundreds of thousands are in
France?
Not even the Townley owned papers have
dared make fun of that gathering It out
numbered two to one the league conven-
ton in Fargo, and there wasn't a "head
hunter" among them. They were serious
minded, patriotic citizens, determined to
lay aside their petty differences, and agree
upon constructive wartime platform,
aimed at putting the entire force of North
Dakota back of the government and at
evolving a sane economic policy that would
steer a course between the extreme radical
ism of the type that has disrupted Russia
and the old standpatism which shuts it's
eyes to economic evils.
The preamble commands a respectful
hearing for the platform itself, which will
be discussed in later editorials.

Undue and excessive expectations

with which the American contribu-

any illusions on this point. America
was called upon to do in one moment
a, task a hundred times greater than
any nation in the worlds history
has been called upon to accomplish.
Never has a. nation undertaken such
commitments or flung itself more
thoroughly into its task.
1.-THE very fact that we have with
us in this war the sons and grand
sons OF men who fought in the great
struggle between the North and the
South is a source of encouragement
and a precious consolation. 1t is we'll
that Englishmen and Americans
should be brought together. They
should create a warm friendship as
their differences are only superb
cial.
ut is worth at least something
that the Anglo Saxon races, the
legatees of a precious civilization,
should make an imperishable friend

the shipwrecl1 of this terrible war
will not have been entirely for
naught.'

Does the significance Of that strike you
on first reading?
The article was intended as an advertise
ment Of a Nonpartisan league meeting.
AS a special attraction, a big headliner
as it were, the league engages the young
Nonpartisan league speaker" who was ar
rested for making alleged seditious state
ments.
The league isn't ashamed of it. 1t boasts
of it. With your son, or brother, or sweet
heart, risking his life in France, Mr..
Townley's own newspaper advertises
as a special attraction series Of
speeches by man who is under arrest for
sedition.
While Mr.. Townley is in Washington de-
Tending his loyalty, his league is advertis-
ing meetings to be addressed by men who
are under arrest for sedition.
If Mr.. Townley is loyal, why doesn't he
discharge every organizer who has been ar
rested or conWcted2
Why doesn't he definitely renounce all
connection with any man who dares make
a disloyal remark?
Why doesn't he disassociate himself
with all men whose loyalty is subject even
to question?
This "young Nonpartisan speaker"
"who was arrested for making alleged Sc
ditious statements" began his tour Mon
day, and it will continue until May IS, two
days before the Red Cross week begins.
And now Mr.. Townley and Governor
Frazier will please rise and reiterate "the
farmers are loyal" or that Big Biz"
caused the arrest. How long, oh Lord, how
long?

Importance for the reason that a nom

Florida has always been equal to an
election. 1t is so now and from that
standpoint November of this year
is no more important than November
s OF two years ago. A question OF
vital interest however, to the chill
dren comes up for decision at the
polls Tuesday, November :. 1t IS
the question of adopting the proposed
amendment to the constitution rails
ing the seven mills maximum for the
public schools to ten mills. The i'm
portance of this question should in
duce every voter to go to the polls
and register his vote in favor Of the
proposition. If there be counties
whose revenue upon : mill levy g
sufficient such counties need not in
crease their millage. Only those
counties that find their revenue in,
adequate or insufficient will need to
seek relief under the amendment
The proposition is democratic. This
amendment is intended only to make
it possible for counties needing great
