/ The speaker advised the students to
do one thing well in the battle of life
He touched on higher education and
advised the youngsters to be modest,
and not look down on others who
have not had as great advantages.
SENS to indicate that the Santa Fe Is
looking for right-of-way. These
surveyors have -Leen working very
close to the strip which the Santa Fe
owns in the northeast part of the
city.
II it is to be a fight the Commercial
club intends to fight to win is the
statement maintained by the mebers
of that body
The railroads in question have
promising and promising to do things
for Tulsa for the last several years
and have never done it, said a mem
ber yesterday IT is time for them
to make good. What is more, the
railroad officials have admitted that
Tulsa has a good contention, Mr.
Kouns, the general manager of the
Santa Fee, stated to members Of the
Club that the city of Tulsa was Civ
ing the road more business in com
parison with the facilities afforded
than was really deserved.
There are those who are trying to
put the bee in the ear of the men
who are championing the cause Of
Tulsa, that railroads cannot be forced
to do anything, especially such large
and well paying roads as the Santa
Zee. These same Knockers say that
the railroads may get 'huffy' and do
nothing for the city. Tulsa has
nothing to lose in the matter. 1t Is
giving something for nothing, and
feels that something should be given
In return.
ION every side is evidence that the
city Is getting nothing. Take a look
into the conditions about o'clock
any night at the Midland Valley and
Santa Fe depot, Not every person
who changes cars at Tulsa can afford
TO hire room in a $500 day hotel
What sort of accommodations are
afforded for waiting trains? Just
one lone waiting room about twenty
feet square for both male and female
whites and a cubby hole for the
negroes"
