Some will say that the punishment i
pathetically excessive since the offens,

Southern State. Thorpe did not be-
come a great runner, jumper, anC
weight thrower through participation
in professional baseball His profes-
sionalism endowed him with no adj
vantage over the college amateurs
against whom he won his place on the
American Olympic team.
The most serious feature of Thorpe's
conduct, however, is that he violated
not only the rules OF amateur sport
but that he sacrificed the reputation OF
American athletics. Rightly or wrong
ly, our teams competing-and usually
winning-abroad have encountered
much hostile criticism. They think
too much of winning" they are
tricky" they make sport too much
OF a business" These are familiar
echoes of the cynical comment with
which the gracious praise of the Eng
lish and European press last summer
was tinctured.
Americans felt an honest pride in
the victory OF their strong young men.
They gloried in none more than in

this Indian lad, great natural ath-
letc. the representative of the race that
once ruled the land, stood forth the
victor over all Corners. The reproach
of high specialization which justly
lodges against our college athletics
seemed contradicted by his superb all
around abilities.

The Downfall of Thorpe.

Disheartening though the disclosures
are that James Thorpe, the world
greatest athlete, knowingly deceived
the world when he competed as an
amateur in the last Olympic games,
Americans may well be thankful that
his exposure came from this side of

SUFFRAGE IN BRITAIN TO

Supreme Battle for Votes for
Women Begins This Week

49, Gable to Tho Tribune D

London. Jan. 2o-This week tho
House Of Commons will consider
whether twenty-five million men and
thirteen million women shall be added
to the number Of Parliamentary ole 20
tors. This is the momentous issue
raised by the franchise bill. the issue
affecting the whole Of the United King
dom
Above ALL II is Womcu's week. The
long awaited fight on the woman suf-
frage question is At hand. the really de-
cisive battle. compared with which all
previous debates on the subject in the
House have been but skirmishes. The
issue Of the battle will be in Parliament
on Friday
The crucial debate will arise on TIE
clause extending the franchise 10 every
male" person. Sir Edward Grcy VIII
move as an amendment the elimination
of the word male" and the piquancy
Of the position will be realized when II
is stated that Mr.. Asquith il an un-
compromising opponent Of woman suf-
fragc. that Herbert l.. Samuel, {. T..
Hobhouse. Winston Churchill, Lewis
Harcourt. Sydney Buxton, Reginald
McKenna, j. 4. Pease and Colone'
Seely. all Cabinet ministers, support
the Premier. and that David Lloyd
George, Augustine Birrell, John Burns,
Sir Rufus Isaacs. Walter Runciman and
T. NcKinnon Wood, also all members
Of the Cabinet, back UP Sir Edward
Grey
This. Of course, is the reason why
the Prime Minister has taken the eX-
traordinary step Of declaring that an
important amendment 10 one Of the
principal bills Of the session is not a
party question. 4 majority of mem
bers of the House Of Commons are
supporters of woman suffrage, but Mr..
Asquith will make big effort TO get
the House to take his point of view.
He will probably make a speech
against Sir Edward Grey. with the
knowledge that a strong personal dec
laration from the head Of the govern
men could not he lightly ignored by
the average member on his own side.
The government. as has been shown,
il almost evenly divided on the ques-
ton, and the cleavage Of opinion is, just
as marked on the Unionist front bench,
Mr.. Bonar Law, Mr.. Balfour, Mr. Lyt-
Teton and Mr.. Wyndham being for
woman suffrage and Austen Chamber
lain, Walter Long, Sir Edward Carson
and +. +. Smith being against IL.
The Labor party will support Sir Ed
ward Grey. while the Nationalsts will
probably follow Mr.. Asquith to show
| their gratitude 10 him for pushing
| through the Home Rule bill.
Great public meetings have been or
ganized for to-day in London. both for
| and against the cause. and on Thurs
day Mr.. Lloyd George will receive a
suffragist deputation.
