without Cost TO Tulsa Men.

without Cost to Tulsa Men.
No, the baseball situation in Tulsa
doesn't look so bad. There is every
hope now that Tulsa will have a team
In the Western Association.
w. A. Stuart and Tad Reese came
forth with the announcement Wednes-
day that they would take the fran
chlse and would put a real baseball
team here, II there was no initial cost
for the franchise.
In talk with Thomas Hayden yes
terday over the telephone, Hayden
stated that he would turn over the
franchise to Stuart and Reese with
out cost. The only thing that Hayden
asks Is that the new managers pay
the May dues. amounting to sl75 and
1856 AS security money
w. A. Stuart yesterday did not say
that he would definitely accept the
proposition with the dues to pay, He
will confer with Reese and will give
his decision to Hayden at once.
In case Stuart and Reese will not
pay the due money, fans of Tulsa Will
In all probability raise the necessary
amount, as all seem anxious that Stu
art and Reese should take the team.
II IL understood that Jack Gal
breath OF MUskogee, circuit manager
of the Western Association, will come
to Tulsa today empowered by the
president to close the deal with Stu

J. W. O'NeilPs Viaduct Compromise

Former Alderman O'Neill proposes that if the streets to be closed under the viaduct agreement should ever be abandoned by the railroads or indus trial plants then the street space in question shall revert to the people to be opened and used by them as pub lie streets.
 Surely this suggested compromise will not be objectionable to any one, and if it will promote the passage of the pending bill in the legislature au- thorizing the City Council to close certain streets, it should be accepted. It will harm no one.
 As MT. O'Neill puts it his proposi- tion would relieve the fears of some property holders, because it would render the proposed law in some sense temporary measure. It would not become a perpetual franchise.
 To let adjournment come without doing something to overcome the dangers of the multiplied crossings in First avenue near the Sloss-Shef- field furnace would be barbarous. The legislature surely will not let small
 4 terrors to life and limb in the heart of this city. The entire easterly end of this city uses the crossings in question daily. These crossings cut the city in two. They can be cured by viaduct, and the selfishness of a few should not be permitted to stand in the way of the good of the many.

Under Good Circumstances

In all parts of the cotton belt bene- ficial rains have fallen, and all parts report an increased acreage in both corn and cotton. Some cotton has sprouted in the districts bordering the gulf, and further north planting is rapidly progressing. All cotton will not be. planted until another month has come and gone, but al ready it is we'll established that the acreage is to be by no means light. The demand for fertilizers, and mules and farming implements shows that the preparations for crops of corn and cotton are on a generous scale. In this state Commissioner of Agricul- ture Kolb reports heavy and well maintained sales of fertilizer tags, even in these closing days of March. This" he says, lis going to be more of a record-breaking year in my than I had at first thought, and I had anticipated good year."
 Between the timely rains and the efforts of the farmers to plant for big crops, the outlook is promising. If the season should prove reasona- bly, favorable Alabama may reap as big a purse from the crops of 1911 as she gathered in from the crops of 1910, and she cannot in all reason expect more. The crops of 1910 were not large, but prices were high, and if 1911 brings equally large aggre- gates the state will indeed be in luck.

Politics and Business

Tt used to be that business was af- fected by presidential campaign, but with that exception politics and general trade were independent of each other said Jackson NJ Smith, well known manufacturer of Chicago. Now, how ever, we seem to have political agita- ton as a continuous performance.
 Some years ago we looked forward to Q period of three years of cessation from politics between presidential elec- tions with. bright expectations, but since growing out of certain political tenden- cies and it has all had a depressing ef- feet on business. Even state politics Is bow being reckoned with in the commer- cial world. l find here in Alabama a waiting condition in the cities because of politics at the capital Montgomery is certainly political storm center and since last Sunday have met several business men who looked anything but satisfied with state politics. I believe that as soon as the Alabama legislature adjourns business conditions will improve Eere.
 Throughout the country general busi- hess quiet has prevailed this month. It was felt in the large financial centers that the first half of the year would be dull, but that the last half would bring fair degree of prosperity. It looks now as if we would have a decided business revival within the next two or three weeks

 ARTIST LIVED WITH TIGER

From the Washington Star
 Four great bronze tigers are being
 placed today on the corner parapets of
 the Sixteenth street bridge across PIney
 branch. When the workmen drive home
 the last spike which fastens each plinth
 the city will see the finish of a piece
 of work in which all the romance of an artists hope of a masterpiece is
 bound These tigers will cost the district S10,000; they have cost the artist who fashioned them the work of IS months. A. Phimister Proctor, New rorI1 sculptor, has staled his reputation on the
 four tigers
 The tigers will sit upon their parapets,
 with their tails inside" This is the expression of W. w. Reynolds, the as- sistant engineer of bridges, who is ! watching carefully the work of lifting
 these 155O-pound beasts from the train to
 the bridge. The bronze tigers are very nearly alike, except that the artist has
 caught the waving motion of the tail | ana fashioned it in bronze so that it 1 points inward toward the roadway of the bridge. That is but a small point, pul II illuslfdleS the fact that most or the detail has been worked out so that | it will show the most from the road way, over which tens of thousands of
 people pass in a years time.
 | Many Washingtonian has probably
 seen the original tiger behind bars in | the animal tent of a show. MT. Proctor chose that circus tiger because it an- | rlpn mad fn h | specimen obtainabe He traveled to
 zoos and animal shows the country over.
 He knew tigers He had already mace a | reputation on a tiger fashioned by him 1 for a building at Princeton. Mrs Proc | tor found this tiger to be the one he
 wanted, and then set about travelling with the show getting the tigers poses l firmly fixed in his mind and making sketches and models of it.

UNDERWOOD'S TASK
rom the New York World.

from the New ork World.
 Like Pittsburg, the Birmingham dis triet of Alabama is keen1y devoted to iron and sIeel. Unlike Pittsburg. it is represented in Congress by a democrat, Oscar w. Underwood, who has been se- lected as chairman of the new commit- tee on ways and means, and who in this issue of the World announces that he favors tariff for revenue only.
 The people have learned by bitter ex- peiience that advocates Of tariffs for revenue only may in fact be very stub born protectionists. but Mr Underwood S remarks on the subject of tax reform give promise of better things. He pledges himself to Canadian reciprocity, to the repeal of the extortionate taxes which have added greatly to the cost of food and clothing, and to the intelligent re- vision of the tariff schedule by schedule. in behalf of the people and not of the interests exclusively.
 To have this oppressive system adjust ed tc modern conditions will be a great shock to the successors of the Pig Iron'' kelleys, Simon Camerons ana sam Ram dalls in any case, but it will almost break their hearts to see it done under the leadership of a man representing an iron and steel constituency
