Tulsa has two special correspond,
ents, who are paid space rates, and a
Tulsa date line appears pretty fire.

stuff worth the telegraph tolls they

Tulsa kilograms. 1t is provoking,
truly to be ':sseoeped,' but a strong
husky liar at one end Of a telegraph
line and hurrah newspaper at the
other can always put the plain seeker
after facts in the shade. The big re.
tineries, pipe lines, fuel oil deals, gas

gushers that drown cattle are all to
be found in the same news room.--H.

The "erusal of the above is all that
is necessary to determine that there is
only one simon pure, genuine and ever
veraclous newspaper correspondent in
the great southwest. II is now up to
us poor ''penny-a-liners" to retire to
the rear. We must give way to the
spirit Of the age. We have been Gin
vestigated" and indicted by a tri-
bunal from which there is no appeal.
The exponent Of the most truthful,
sanctiied and sainted association of
capital ON earth has bawled us out
i'll manner such as would put a
Marchmont ON the bum and forever
preclude Il Richard Harding Davis |
from writing another line. The
standard" has been Set and unless
we hew to the line we must forever
hold our peace.
However, when it comes to tele-
graphing that Tulsa has had rain
which has made thousands and thou
sands of acres of corn and cotton,
when it comes to telling the people |
of the great world who are waiting
the chance to find home in the land
of promise about the monster oil and
gas wells which are daily occurrences
in this marvellous field, when it comes
to disseminating the facts of great
pipe lines and great refneries that are
actualities in Tulsa, it is possible that
the writer and the "other" will get
busy with the Postal much in the
same manner as of yore, and without
waiting for the "aid or consent of
any other nation. "
AS reporter, for the oil field, Mr.,
Woods undoubtedly is the best in the
field. He ought to be,
He does nothing else. ell is paid a
big salary for going over the field
every week. His work in comparison
with that of the writer's he terms hot
lir merchants is inconsequent. Per-
haps that is why he finds so much
time to attend to other neople's bust
ness. 1t is recalled that he undertook
TO run the affairs of the city of Tulsa
some time ago, but for some unac-
reason has been strangely
silent of late.
1t is respectfully suggested that Mr.
Wood confine himself to the oil field.
In that he can do much for the coun-
ry as he is absolutely truthful 'and
he story of the remarkable develop
nent in that industry reads like a
'airy tale, even in Mr.. Woods strict
y "unembellished" style. But he
night leave the exploitation of the

is who were drilled in a less hyper
,ritical school of journalism.
If this be treason, make the most
