Officials Of War Department
Promise Pat Hurley Imme-
diate Relief for Men.
PLACES BLAME ON THE STATE
Action Taken by Chamber of
Commerce Has Desired Re-
suits in Washington.
From The Worlds Bureau,

704 Metropolitan Bank Building
WASHINGTON, July 4.-The Tulsa
engineer company will be called into
service in the regular army on Au-
gust 5.
This order was issued last evening
by General Mann of the militia de-
partment after Capt. Pat J. Hurley OF
Tulsa, in compliance with request
from Secretary Douglas of the Cham
Der of Commerce of that city. who eS-
planned the distressed condition of the
men. General Mann also wrote to the
quartermaster at Fort Sill, Okla, ~
ascertain If he could use additional
engineers at this time and stated TO
Captain Hurley that II he received a
favorable reply he would take steps
to relieve the Tulsa men by giving
them service at that post.
State Is to Blame.
General Mann stated further that
the state of Oklahoma was wholly re-
sponsible for the pay and mainten-
ance of the men until such time as
they were taken into the regular army
and that tho he regretted the condi-
tion of the men he was powerless to
do anything. He told Captain Hurley
that often mistakes were made in or
ganizing militia units on n war basis
instead of a peace basis and that this
mistake had been made in the case
of Tulsa.
Captain Hurley promptly informed
General Mann that his contentious
were wrong, and that in no event
would II have been possible to have
enlisted the personnel of Tuls,s
young manhood unless they fully be-
lieved they were to be on n war basis
and that the government needed them
as stated in the call issued by the
president thru the office of General
Mann.
1--WE stirred the patriotism of Tulsa
to white heat" Captain Hurley de-
clared, because we all fully believed
the government was In urgent need
OF the men and 1t is not compliment
tary to the department to neglect
those men in this manner.
Men Make Sacrifices.
These men gave up good positions
because they thot they were needed
and for two months they have been
neglected and are now at the mercy
of the charity of the people of Tulsa.
Tulsa Is the most patriotic city I'm the
United States and has proved itself IN
the number of volunteers as well AZ
purchases of Liberty bonds and Red
Cross contributions. and the presence
OF this company there in its distressed
condition is not tending to stimulate
that patriotism of the moral Of those
who will be called under the draft"
General Mann resented the intima-
ton that the department had ne
elected the the mcn and stated that
the state of Oklahoma was wholly re-
sponsible, but that ne would do what
he could to relieve them, not because
1t was his duty, but from humane
standpoint

MANN READY TO QUIT
IN SPEAKERSHIP RACE
Willing to Withdraw in Favor
Of Clark He Says.

Washington, Mar. 27.-Congress-
man Mann, Republican leader, upon
his return from Haiti said he was will
ing to withdraw from the race for the
speakership in the interest Of unity if
the house could be organized on BIZ
partisan or nOnpartisan lines.
Il understand the Republicans have
sufficient votes to elect me if they de
sire to do So" Mr. Mann said, but
do net think this is a time for a par
tisar struggle. We should go forward
united.
"Of course, if the Republicans insist
that we make the fight, with ne as
their candidate, | will go along with
them, but just now, before I have
seen any of the Republican leaders,
want to say that I favor a bipartisan
or nOnpartisan organization Of the
house.
II am willing to withdraw in favor
of Speaker Clark if the Republicans
are agreeable to this. If we are to
have war we do not want a partisan
struggle in the house to delay imDOr
tant business. Neither do we want de-
lay if we are not going to have war"

The Presidents nominations for the
new Tariff Commission fail to include a
representative of the school of high
Protectionist faith, which has been SO
strong in the manufacturing East for
several generations. - The Springfield
Mass. Republican,
One member Of the commission, Mr.
Culbertson of Kansas, is a protection
list; and one protectionist is enough.
President Wilson was too we'll brought
up to load the board down with high
tariff takers. He bears testimony to the
fact that he was raised by man who
expected every right minded man tC
believe in commercial freedom.

TWO NOTABLE DECISIONS.

It is a long way from Mark Hanna
to Woodrow Wilson. The country is
rejoicing in the decision Of the United
States supreme court which sustained
the Adamson railway law. And in the
fact that practically the strike was
prevented under the law, by the gov
eminent itself your government and
my government, and not by the rail /
way corporations and railway brother
hoods, acting over and above the law,
there is great cause for rejoicing. The
decision shows for itself that it was not
made under duress. 1t Occasioned d
battle royal among the great legal
minds on the supreme bench; and the
law was sustained by vote Of five to
four. 1t might not have been sustained
without the aid Of both Justices
Brandies and Clarke; and without a
United States senate elected by direct
vote Of the people, the nomination of
Louis Brandies might not have been
confirmed.
When this country acquired from
Spain the Philippine islands, lawyers
and statesmen everywhere seemed to
think that by right the constitution
would follow the flag, and that because
Of the constitutional prohibition Of tar
if taxes between the states and terri
tories, products from the Philippines
would come into the United States free
Of duty. President Mckinley, himself,
expounded this view But suddenly
Mark Hanna proclaimed a different
doctrine In private he said that Pres
ident Mckinley would have to come off
his perch, that the tariff barriers
would not be let down. And when the
test came, the supreme court construed
the Fundamental law according to
Chairman Hannas contention, in favor
Of the grand governing conspiracy of
protection.
There really is such a thing as hu-
1nan progress. The people, under re-
sponsible leadership, are working out a
better democracy.

week. For thirteen years it has been
under the management Of H. A.
Whipple and E. P. Winkelman, pro
prietors. 1t is paper that always says
something worth while. In these
words they show their true conception
Of newspaper duty:
"A newspaper properly conducted
carries no private grievances. We AS
sure our friends that we have endeav0r-
ed to print the news that seemed to be
worth printing if it came within our
knowledge. We have offered an in
