PRESIDENTS FLING
RESENTED BY GORE
Oklahoma Senator Takes Taft
to Task for Criticizing
Constitution
Says Trip Has Been Comedy OF
Errors and Tragedy OF
BlunderS
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Oct. IS
The enemies of good government
everywhere will approve the presi-
dents denunciation of our constitution.
1t must be approved by all who favor
special privileges, gifts and graft to
the few, at the expense of the many,
and by all who believe that the jew
eled and of greed should be licensed
to pick the threadbare pockets OF
of need.
This is the reply of United States
Senator Gore to President Tafts criti-
cism that the constitution of oklahoma
is a geological garden of cranks.
Continuing, Senator Gore said:
The present tour of the president
has been a comedy of errors-a tragedy
of blunders ever since the curtain went
up. and probably will be until the cur
tain comes down.
THE RULES FORBID
The rules of the senate forbid any
senator to make a disrespectful allu-
plain dictate of common sense and COM
mon decency, as well as of patriotism,
and should be observed, even IL 1t
were not an expressed requirement.
1T would seem to be wise prece
dent to be observed by all the officials
of the government, whether legislative,
judicial or executive. The influence and
prestige of the president always
should be used for the upbuilding of
every state and never should be abused
to the disparagement of any state.
DIGNITY AND DUTY
Il regret that the president so far
forgot both his dignity and duty as to
assail the fundamental law of a SOW
ereign state over whose destiny he has
been called temporarily to preside.
1t seems to me his denunciation was
as undignifed as undeserved, and as
unnecessary as it was unaVailing."

cite Fields.
MINERS FIX FOR WAR
Putting Their Treasury on War
Basis-John Mitchell is Great
ly Concerned Over the
Outlook.

NEW YORK, March 2.-Financial
circles are troubled today over the
situation of the anthracite coal fields.
The peace agreement, which has been
in effect since 1908, expires in the
present month. If not renewed the
hard coal district is likely to again
be tied up in fight between the
mine owners and their employees.
Peace is hoped for but trouble is more
or less expected. The miners framed
their demands and submitted them un-
officially. Unofficially they have been
rejected. Both owner and miners
have grievances and claim not to al
low them to submit to the terms of the
other. Both sides are openly prepar-
ing for trouble though denying they
expect 1t. From indianapolis comes
word that officials OF the United Min
ers are putting their treasury on a
war basis. The coal trade is very dull,
is admitted, but the miners say if a
new agreement is unsigned by March
81 they will force a settlement along
the lines they want. Both sides are
apparently waiting for each other.
John Mitchell. former president of the
Mine Workers. is greatly concerned
over the outlook.
WHEELING, w. Va, March p
President Lewis of the United Mine
Workers, when returning home to-
day, declined to make a statement or

road, or in regard to the negotiations

scale.
