back for repairs. Then after a second

IT WILL NOT DOWN.
Justice Brewer Says Woman Suffrage
Is Bound to Come.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Justice Da-
fvid j. Brewer, of the United States
supreme court, has come out in Wig
orous advocacy of equal rights for
women in the matter of the ballot.
This notable declaration was made in
an article published here and in New
York.
Because of his prominence as one
of the strongest and most influential
members of the high court, the word
of the justice is regarded as of signal
importance in the equal suffrage
movement. Among other things JUS
tice Brewer says:
1.-The question of female suffrage.
like the ghost of Banquo, will not
down. It is now living, practical
question. 1t has passed beyond the
days of ridicuIe and we hear no more
of it's advocates as short haired wo-
ing considered by. thoughtful men and
women animated by the desire of do
ing that which will be for the best In
terests of all.
Women suffrage in Colorado has
not been hurtful. It has helped a
little, perhaps more than can easily be
particularized. Female suffrage will
come. Woman's broader education,
her increasing familiarity with bust
ness and public affairs will lead to it.
And why not?
forbid that it should be jeopardized,
Tor upon it in all it's fullness depends
the best social life. But female suf-
frage will not debase the home nor
lessen its power and influence. On
the other hand it will introduce a re-
filming and uplifting power into our po-
litical life. 1t will not stop marriage

since the Nebraska game. Our de-
Tense is so strong that 1 do not ex-
pect Iowa to score, except on a pos
sible huke. If we don't win the
game should be a tie. Our offense
is much better than in former games"
Coach J. G. Griffith of Iowa made
the following statement:
Il don't like to make predictions
about any battle and then fail to
live up to them. However. ! will
say that my men are in fair condi-
ton and we are going to make the
fight of the season to beat Kansas.
This is the one game we would like
to win and are going to bend every
effort to do so. We have defeated
Kansas twice since the schools have
opposed each other in annual games.
Last year the score was 10 to in
favor of Kansas. and 1 think we
have q better chance to win today
than we had year ago. We may
not win, but we will give Kennedy's
