MUCH PROGRESS BEING
MADE BY AVIATORS

1t is only tive and half years
since Wilbur Wright held the
word s aviation record for alti-
tude at 800 feet. A few days
ago Heinrich Oelrichs near Leip-
sic, Germany, rose in his binlane
to a height Of 24,6O00 feet. These
few years, therefore, may be
said to span the whole evolution
ary period of high flying; for it
is improbable that men will ever
be able to rise much beyond Oel-
rich s mark.
Few men can retain command
of their faculties in the rare at
mosphere of those upper regions,
where an aviator needs all his
powers. Even the birds fail
there. There is but one bird,
the condor Of the Andes, that
can match this bold German S
flight. Carrier pigeons at 2O,-
600 feet flutter down heavily
into denser air. No man has ev-
er reached 25,CCO feet in noun
tain climbing, though DR.. Fred
erdck A. Cook, OF north pole
fame, aspires to achieve that
feat by ascending Mount Everett,
the o.'~reign Of the Elimalayas.
A little over four years ago
the world was applauding the
first flight across the historic
English Channel, Louis Bleriot.
Since then channel flights have
Become common. Just the other
day Water l.. Brock, an Ameri-
can aviator, few the entire dis
tance' over sea and land from
London to Paris and back, in
seven hours and three minutes.
He covered the 500 miles between
the two great capitals at an
averge speed Of 71A miles an
hour, half the time of the fast
est pa sage by beat and train.
Now comes a feat which far
surpasses these in historic I'M
portance and in it's appeal to
the imagination. 1t is the pre-
pos d crossing Of the Atlantic
by Lieut.. Porte Of the Rodman
Wanamaker expedition. The
Curt1ss flying boat on which his
hopes are based met all expecta-
tons since the designer equip
ped her with "sea sleds' under
the whale-shaped body to bring
her to the surface Of the water.
easily in starting.
Her speed and carrying power
once she is in the air, seem equal
to the great undertaking. The
craft is to be shipped to New
foundland soon, and in month
from now may be on her way
carrying the new Columbus Of
the air from America to Europe.
If she succeeds, what subsequent
aviation feat can interest a world
jaded with wonders.-Ex.

sUFFRAGIsTs STILL
HARD AT WORK

jamestown, N. D., Dec. 29.-
To the Forum: Before election
called attention to the evident
fact that the North Dakota Asso'
ciation Opposed to Woman Suf-
f1age, with little If any local
organization in the state, had
more money to spend in buying
newspaper space, etc., than the
state w. c. T. U. or Votes for
Women league, each of which
had many local organizations
working to raise funds. 1 stated
that our treasurer books which
were audited by business men,
Harry Taylor of Valley City and
w. II. Boise of jamestown, were
open for examination at our
headquarters and asked if the
Organization Opposed to Woman
Suffrage could say the same.
Mrs. N. C. Young, president
Of that organization, stated in
reply THAT she had appointed
three judges; Hon. Charles A.
Pollock, NJ. H. White and s. s.
Lyons to answer as to her ac-
counts. ....,
Thinking this answer might
be in good faith, I wrote each Of
these judges and sent a. copy of
the letter to The Fargo Forum,
asking only for names Of con-
tributors and amounts contribut-
ed. After waiting six weeks, no
reply has been received from
Mrs. Young nor from the Judges
she appointed. 1t is very evil
dent that she does not wish che
public to- know the source from
which funds, were received. 1
have learned upon good authoai
ty that these gentlemen were ap-
pointed by Mrs. Young without
their knowledge or consent, and
that the books of the North Da-
kota Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage have not been
turned over to them.
This method of procedure
seems to be characteristic of this
organization. 1t will be rememb.
cred when the organization was
formed, that prominent women
Of the state were appointed to
office without their knowledge
or consent, and one who was
appointed wee president, Mrs.
Senator Plain of Milton, publicly
stated that she was not an anti
suffragist, but a suffragist and
would work for the ballot for
women.
Il will also be remembered
that Judge Ben Lindsay was
quoted as opposed to- woman
suffrage, and that when his at
tention was called to- this, he
sent a telegram which was pub
ished in The Forum, Courier
News and Grand Forks Herald
stating that he had been mis-
represented, was heartily in fa---
vor Of woman suffrage and
would like to be here to help
in the campaign.
Comment is unnecessary.
