HUNDREDS OF WOMEN
TURNED AWAY

At an early hour this afternoon
the doors of the Fargo operahouse
had to be closed as the house was
filled to its utmost capacity, al
though Mr.. Bryan did not begin
his address to the women of Fargo
and Moorhead until 2:45 o'clock.
His effort this afternoon was his
wonderful and celebrated master
piece, The Prince of Peace,
In this lecture, which the far
famed commoner has delivered in
many parts of the globe, the life
and teachings of Christ are set
forth together with the lessons
which are to be drawn for modern
civilization in everyday life. All
the problems one encounters in
this day and age are dealt with
which makes this sermon lecture
one of the most uplifting that has.
ever been penned in the English
language.
MIR. Bryan was escorted to the
theatre by representatives of the
Fargo pulpits who occupied places
on the stage with him during his
lecture this afternoon. Governor
Burke presided and introduced the
Nebraskan to one of the largest
audiences that ever thronged the
operahouse. Hundreds of women
were turned away eveA before 2
o'clock. which was matter Of
great regret to the members of the
committee who arranged for the
meeting.

Big Strike VIII Catch Them

DEMAND RAISES PRICES
THREATENED STRIKE IN AN
THRAcITE COAL FIELD HAS
BROUGHT ABOUT SHORTAGE
AND THERE is A GREAT DE-
MAND. FROM MANY SOURCES.

New York, March 7.--Fears OF a
strike of 100000 anthracite miners
April i has caused general rush on
the part of consumers for coal to
carry them over the the strike period.
This demand became widespread today
when it was reported that the rail-
roads, instead of having a large
amount of coal in storage in prepara-
tion for possible strike, were really
running short and were making every
effort to increase their reserves.
In consequence many dealers have
increased the price from 81 to $50
per ton.
Break in Wales,
London, March T.--The first sign of
a break in the coal strike comes from
North Wales, where the employees Of
some smaller companies have reopened
negotiations with the owners with a
view of starting work again.

Berlin, March THE outbreak of a
great coal strike in the West PhaIan
coal districts, March H., is regarded
practically as certainty. The leaders
of the Christian Trades union, who
are bitter rivals of the socialist work
mems organizations, continue to OPP
pose the strike but now appear to have
lost their hold on their followers.

New York, March 7.-ColoneI Theo-
dore Roosevelt has an article entitled
Do You Believe in the Rule of the
People, in the current issue of The
Outlook. The article in full is as fol-
lows
There has been much effort made to
fog the issue raised in my Columbus
speech. In reality, the issue is perfect
ly simple: Do you believe in the rule
of the people? If you do, you are with
us. If you do not, you are against us.
Many good and honorable persons
do not believe in the rule of the peo-
pie. and openly say so. We disagree
with these persons. but we can re-
spect them. There are other persons,
however, who do not believe in the
rule Of the people. but who dare not
say so, and who endeavor by trickery,
by chicanery, by fraud. to seem to give
the people the right to rule and at the
same time to deprive taem of that
right. These persons we do not re-
spect.
Let the men of little faith who fear
the people keep steadily in mind that
they have no part in the heritage OF
Abraham Lincoln and Of those who
worked with him for the preservation
Of this nation. Abraham Lincoln did
not try to trick or defraud the people
into freeing the slave and restoring the
union; he appealed to them in the
name Of duty, in the name Of honor
and self-sacrifce to risk all including
life itself, for high ideal; and the
people responded, and Abraham Lin
coin was justified and the slave was
freed and the union preserved. Those
who stand for the cause of social and
industrial justice, to be obtained
through the genuine rule of the peo-
pie, are but carrying forward the

The news that Scott found the south
pole comes as a startling climax to a
race which five explorers Of as many
different nationalities have been ma.k-
ing to reach this last extremity OF
the undiscovered portion of the globe.
Capt. Robert Falcon Scott started on
his expedition from Port Chalmers,
New Zealand, Nov. 20, 1910: He at
tanned a record of So degrees, 80 min
utes on the previous expedition.
Shackleton pushed further south and
in 1907 reached So degrees % minutes,
or about 100 miles from the south pole.
Captain Scott took route by way
of Australia and New Zealand. He
sailed due south into Ross sea, q
great stretch of water reaching to-
ward the south pole.
His chief competitor was Amundson,
who was commissioned by the king
Of Norway and the Norwegian govern
nlent Amundson cnose route by
way of South America as against
Scott and three others who went by
the Australian route.
He left Buenos Ayres on board the
steamer Fran toward the close of
1910, passed through the Straits OF
Magellan and then sterred for the Ross
sea. Scott planned to follow ths same
land trail Shackleton had taken. This
was along mountain range, thought
to be an extension of the Andes range.
At the furthermost point of Ross sea.
Scott embarked party from the snip
at Terra Nova.
Here stands out a great volcano.
Mount Erebus, from which rises con-
stantly a great column OF steam. II
is one of the dreaded localities of the
Antarctic, to which navigators have
given the name, Terror bay, for here
Nordenskjeld's ship, the Antarctic, was
crushed in the ice.
scott made his first winter quarters
on asslope of the mountains and there
remained until last November. It was
then his dash began. He was fully
equipped with dogs, ponies and motor
sledges, while Amundsen relied solely
on Siberian dogs
The other competitors in the race
were Lieut.. William Filchner a general
OF the staff Of the German army:
Lieut.. N. Shirase, OF the Japanese
navy and Or. Douglas Mawson, repre-
senting Australia.
These men and parties have now
been out of sight many months. and
no news Was heard from them until
yesterday when Amundsen brought
word that his leading opponent reach
ed the coveted goal.
Quest for the south pole has not
been fraught with the same periIs as
that of the north pole.
The search for the latter has been
through great fields OF open water and
floating ice, whereas the south pole is
situated on land. Scores of navisators
perished looking for the north pole.
but comparatively few in the southern
quest.
The problem Of reaching the south
pole has been that of passing rapidly
over snow covered foothills, mountain
ranges and terrifying glaciers.
