MISS PANKHURST
LIKES AMERICA
DAUGHTER OF NOTED ENGLISH
sUFFRAGETTE TOLD or AMER
lcAN TOUR AND DIFFERENCE IN
SUFFRAGE sITuATioNIN AMER.
IcA AND ENGLAND.

Il think the American women will
make excellent suffragists wien they
are once awakened to the Importance
of the movement and what it means
for future generations, said Miss
Sylvia Pankhurst II a Forum repre-
sentative this morning in the Northern
Pacific station while she was waiting
for her train. 1.-THE suffrage movement
in America is not analogous to the
English problem exactly, but it is Ger
tainly an important issue the world
over.
There does not seem to be the de-
gree Of women of limited circum-
stances n who endure the discom-
forts of life over here that there is
in England, and for this reason ]
think the American women are more
contented with present conditions.
though the more intelligent classes
without a doubt realize that woman's
sphere should be equal to that of men
at any time and that they should have
a voice in the direction of public
questions just as much as men, as so
many of them are supporters Of the
public funds.
In England we have made a great
fight" she said enthusiastically and
we are making rapid strides toward
success. But, in time, / have no doubt
but what the American women will
be fully as awakened to their posi-
bilities all over the country as they
are in some of the western states like
Colorado, where they have equal suf-
frage.
But I like America and have en-
joyed my trip over here. / am going
down to Madison from here and then
to Appleton, Wis, and after that to
Iowa. America is such a vast place.
you know, that it is almost like trav-
cling from one country to another to
take such a trip as I am starting on
from here. Then I am going to
tour the southern states where ]
have not appeared yet, and look for
ward to that trip with just as much
pleasure al I did in coming to Fargo.
1t seems strange that there can be
two such extreme climates in one
country as in America, where a few
days ride all in the same nation will
take n from the extreme cold to the
extreme heat. That is certainly one
Of the great pleasures in travelling in
America.
But one of the things I can't quite
understand is about these rear-end
collisions in the railroad wrecks. That
is something we eve have in Eng
land. Our trains are seldom late, and
then only in cases of very dense fogs
or some accident. But over here be-
lated trains are everyday occur
rences. And then our trains are much
more frequent. Seldom do you have
more than two trains each way daily.
except in and out of the very large cit
les like New York, Chicago and Phila-
delphia, where they only run out into
the suburbs. In England If we can't
find a train out any hour of the day
to any point we want to go to, it is
something over which to be peeved.
But on the whole I like America
very much, and my mother has en-
joyed her trips yer here, too. She
came the last of October and returned
Jan. Z. I shall remain until about
the last Of March, when 1 sail."t

AN ECHO OF The
ROBERTS STORY
WILL BATES, FORMER TICKET
AGENT FOB GREAT NORTHERN
IN FARGO AND WELL KNOWN
HERE, WRITES INTERESTING
LETTER TO THE FORUM.

The Forum has a letter from VIII
Bates OF White Salmon. Wash. stat.
ing that he noticed from the ape
that Augustus Roberts and son had
been killed at Pasadena, Cal, recently
and wanting to know il this referred
to Judge Roberts, formerly OF Go. b,
North Dakota National guard, of which
Mr.. Bates was first at one
time. The Forum is pleased to state
that this report did not refer to any OF
the Roberts now residing or ever liy-
ing here as far as known.
VIII Bates is a son of Co. A. S.
Bates, who for so long a time was
agent in Fargo for the Great Northern
or the Manitoba road as 1t was then
called. Will was operator and late
ticket agent here for this road up to
1890, when the family moved to ST.
Paul, where he remained to 1908, when
he was forced to give up his position
with the Northern Pacific because of
i'll health, and in fact he was given up
to die.
He fooled the doctors and went west
to try ranching. He soon commenced
to regain his health, and cleared off
twenty acres of heavily timbered land,
which he set out to apples and pears,
built a log bungalow, outbuildings.
ETC., and installed his w water works
plant. VIII and his brother Richard,
their sister Nancy have organized a
company, and have done all the dyna-
hitting Of sturnps and the grabbing of
land without employing any outside
help. Colonel Bates lives with them
and is now 20 years OF age and is hale
and hearty, and Mrs. Bates is also ex-
ceedingly well.
Mr.. Bates writes that for winter
pastime he has installed a complete
wireless telegraph receiving set which
has a range at night of 1000 miles.
From 8 p. m. until midnight he can
hear San Francisco send Associated
Press report to ships far out at sea,
and "a hear the reports from boats
from Victoria, b. c., to southern Cal
tfornia points, within the above range.
Distress signals have frequently beer
picked up at this station; daily wealth
er reports T copied. and in fact the
current news of the day is received
long before the papers get the same
out. The altitude Of the ranch is
1900 feet.
Mr.. Bates concludes his interesting
letter with a Norwegian story Of how
DR.. Darrow caught the wildcat, and
wanted someone to help him let go
when he found it was a skunk. The
many friends of the Bates family will
be Interested in the foregoing extracts
from his breezy letter.

REST. UNTILykMES,,.:
. d. +. GAME IS. PROGRAM
Coaches Unwilling to Risk
The Men In Hard
Scrimmage.
TURLEY is INJURED
Quarterback Hurt In Tie
Game Between Varsity
and Scrubs.

Light practice for the regulars is
the football program for the rest of
the week. The coaches are unwilling
to take chances of injuring any of the
men and yesterday they kept most of
the regulars on the sidelines while
two picked teams scrimmaged.
Lake, Shepard, Wilson, Wiggans and
Groves were on the sidelines with
minor injuries and did nothing but
run through a little signal practice.
None is badly enough hurt to be kept
out of the Ames game.
The scrubs and the varsity, minus
most of it's men. played to a scoreless
tie in one scrimmage. The varsity
played a defensive game. but could
not keep the scrubs out of their ter
ritory. Wray. scrub quarter tried
several field goals from about the %
yard line. but could not score. The
ball was on the scrubs 10-yard line
when the game was called.
The coaches are trying to perfect
the forward pass and ordered the men
to try it yesterday as much as posi-
BILE. The scrubs got away with it
more than the varsity, although
neither side showed any marked skill.
The forward pass appears to be a
very uncertain play for the Tigers.
Mills was tried at place kicking,
along with Thatcher and Shepard.
The lack of good place kicker evil
IDENTIFY is worrying the coaches con-
siderably and they are giving every
one trial at it. Turley seems to be
the logical choice for the teams drop
kicker. He is practicing about an
hour daily now and is improving fast
Some of his kicks yesterday afternoon
were as good as Missouri rooters have
had chance to watch since Hackney
had to quit the game.
A jinx certainly is following Mis-
souri's quarter backs. With two of
the leading quarters injured. Turley
had the misfortune to hurt his hand
yesterday afternoon in the last play
of the scrimmage Some of the liga-
ments of his right hand are thought
to be torn loose. T. E. Jones, the
trainer. did not know last night how
badly he was hurt
Huston, who recently was promoted
from the scrubs. has been tried at
quarter. He is good open field rum
ner and seems to have lots of pep,
but he does not seem to be able to
hold the ball. His regular position
is at half back
The varsity will play the freshmen
today. This game probably will be
the last hard work the team will go
against until they meet Ames.

IT'S HARD WORK REFEREEING
Football Officials Must BE in Condition
to Stand the Strain. -''

II you think the football player
needs to be strong, tough and up to
all the standards of physical conai-
ton, what about the football official?
Did you ever observe the number of
yards these alert gentlemen with
football knowledge cover every time
they come down to Columbia to see
that the contests are properly con-
Quoted on Rollins Field. In and out
of every play, sometimes caught in
the scrimmage, sometimes run down
and bowled over, up and down the
field-that's the way they go during
the entire game. True, they never
carry the ball but that isn't much ad-
vantage for a football isn't a heavy
thing.
After the game they have a good
shower and rub down coming to
them. Perspiring and sometimes limp
they are often about as near "all in"
as the players.
Clyde Mcbride of Kansas City who,
when he isn't working-that is, doing
real work in a football game-is as
sistant sporting editor of the Kansas
City Star. once wrote of his travelling
some 5000 miles in refereeing a foot
ball game. At least, he said, he felt
as though he had covered that dis
lance. Mr.. Mcbride who comes to
Columbia often. you remember. is of
rather slight stature. but he doesn't
allow any of the big. ex-football play
ers who have become officials to
beat" him in the game. Every year
he goes into training with a lawn
mower and rake at his suburban home
and in the X. c. A. c. gymnasium. He
shows mid-season form from the
first
Mr.. Mcbride is one of the few foot
ball officials who haven't been stars
on the gridiron. He likes the game,
he says. He has become an expert
through thorough study of the snort
and the rules. If he ever played on
any ward school team, he never ad-
mitted it to his friends here. Ask
him to clear up any point on football
history or the rules and their inter-
Dretation and you will get clear,
definite answer
