Race Suicide as Viewed by a Woman.
Woman is charged with Having lost
the God given desire to become a wife
and mother. Various rasons are as-
signed for tills, hut I have seen no men-
tion of what I believe to be the great-
est cause of tills loss. It is not be-
cause our nation has refused to pro-
tect the home that the American wom-
an refuses to become a wife and niotli-
She has wept, prayed and petition-
our state and national governments
to throw* around thi* home of this coun-
try some protection from the greatest
curse this world has ever known. But
instead of granting her request “this
land of the free and home of the brave”
has gone into partnership with the
home destroyer so the only reply
weeping petitioned womanhood re-
ceives is; “Go make homes, be patient,
b iv children, and each year we will
only lay about 100,000 of them in drunk-
ards’ graves and we cannot tell how
many of them we will place ir. alms-
houses county jails, per.ltentaries and
insane asylums.”
it is not because woman loves a
P idle dog more than a baby, that she
i-■ looses the dog, but if she pays the
and puts a collar on her dog she
protected by the law from the dog
slayer; but tell me, if you can, how a
mother can protect her boy? She went
down to the gates of death to give him
birth. She counts this naught for the
joy that a man child Is born. She
w itches over him. sleeping and wak-
ing, warns him of the dangers of the
intoxicating cup. hut it availeth not.
E-e the blush of youth has left Ills
cheek she sees him offered a sac . .flee
on the alter of his nation's greed.j
What wonder that woman buys a
ranch, goes into sheep raising instead
of raising boys? Wool-growers are
protected and if the wolves should
abound our government would pay so
much per head for their destruction.
But the destroyer of our sons is pro-
tected by law; his business is legal-
ized. When the voters of the country
make the raising of children a safe
business, then will our daughter be-
come wives and joyful mothers of
children, “ and the streets of the city
shall be full of boys and girls, play-
in the streets thereof.”—Elizabeth

Yeager-Strain Pipe Line Bill Passes
Senate.
Guthrie, Okla., Feb. 25.—By a unan-
imous vote, the senate yesterday adopt- j
ed with the emergency clause the j
Yeager-Straln bill regulating the oil
industry in Oklahoma and defining the
duties of pipe line companies. Pipe j
line companies are required to declare
themselves as either common purch-
asers orf common carriers, before com-
mencing operations within the state.
No oil company can have the right of
eminent domain until it becomes a do-
mesticated corporation.
The bill would compel pipe lines, if
common purchasers, to take as much
oil of others as their own, although
they are permitted to remain in the oil
producing business. If common car-
riers, they must relinquish their oil
producing properties and devote them-
selves exclusively to the transporation
of oil.
Senator Davis alone voted against
the emergency. He opposed the pas-
sage of the bill throughout, arguing
that he did not consider it wise legis-
lation, that fair play was needed in
this connection and that there was too
much interference with private busi-
ness in the bill as drawn.
"The Prairie Oil and Gas Company
may be sending telegrams here," said
Davis with heat, referring to allusions
made concerning him by other sena-
tors, " but I’m getting none of them.
These personal allusions to myself are
getting yery tiresome. The. s.iow a
lack of gentlemanliness and know-
ledge.”
In voting finally fer the I ill. Davis
declared he was casting 1 lie most un-
willing vote he ever cat in his life.
His motions to emit sections two and
live of the Dill wer * lost by a vote of
thirty to one.

A.
PACKING PLANT FOR TULSA.
Attorney < harles T. Reuter filed in-
corporation papers Friday at Guth-
rie for the Mehle Packing plant of this
city, with a capital stock of $50,000 The
directors arc Albert Mehle, John W.
Kreps and George Schoemall of this
city. This insures Tulsa by far the
largest packing establishment in the
state of Oklahoma, and it is a bona
■fide proposition all the way through.
The corporation has secured five
a i s of land located along the Katy
right of way in the west portion of the
city, adjoining the Owen addition. The
work on the buildings will begin next
week. These consist of a packing plant,
engine and cold storage room, and of-
fice building. The. entire plant will he
in operation with sixty days.
Thirty-five meen will he employed at
the outset, hut it is expected that this
number will easily be doubled within
six months after operations begin. The
incorporators are very optimistic re-
garding the future of this new indus-
try and are confident that Tulsa will
become the center of the packing indus-
try of the state.
This institution comes to Tulsa with-
out any ourish of trumpets or with-
out any bonus from the Commercial
■club.
ADJOURN MARCH 6
Guthrie, Okla., Feb. 26.—Representa-
tive Partridge of Cherokee, republican
causcus chairman today introduced in
the house a point concurrent resolu-
tion that the legislature adjourn sine-
die Friday, March 5th, at noon. That
will mark the close of the sixieth day
of the session of the legislature.
tlndi r the constitution sessions of
the legislature for sixty days at JG.00
per day for each member, but the ses-
sions may be prolonged, the nu mbers
receiving $2.00 per day.
President pro tern Clint Graham of
the senate has taken a decided stand
for adjornment March 5th. Speaker
Wilson of the house today said:
"Ie believe it Is the desire of most
of the members to dajorun March 5th
hut that lg any important legislation
Is still pending the pnembers would be
willing to remain a few' more days to
finish. I hope we can adjourn the
fifth, and believe that there is no like-
lihood of the session being prolong-
ed more than a w eek beyond that.”
ROOSEVELT WON’T RIDE BACK TO
WHITE HOUSE.
Washington, Feb. 28.—William H.
Taft will take the oath of office as
president of the United States on the
century-old Bible which belongs to the
supreme court of the United States and
by it kept in custody. There is a touch
of sentiment in this decision, which Mr.
Taft announced tonight, with the state-
ment that had lie become a member of
the supreme court his oath would have
been taken on identically the same
book.
During the past few' days there have
been many offers of Bibles to the pros-
pective president. He has not declined
to receive the gifts, but his answer
has been that it will lie impossible for
him to receive them for the purpose in-
tended.
It has been the custom of past presi-
dents to use a new or an historic Bible
in taking their oaths of office, and each
has returned the book thereafter. Mr.
Taft will make no claim on the Bible
of his eholee. and it will go back to
the archives of tin* ancient court for
which there are many evidences of a
reverent respect and a lingering of the
fondness o nthe part of Mr. Roosevelt's
successor.

"Esther.”

masses on

7:00 p in.—Meeting of young con-
verts with Dr. Bulgin and
preachers at Presbyterian
church.
7:30 p. m.—(Hosing meeting of the re-
vival, Dr. Bulgin delivers his
farewell sermon.
Tin* tabernacle was packed with
people long before 7:30 Sunday night
and when the services begann ttiere
were people in all the aisles anil the
choir loft was filled with singers. A
rough estimate places the number on
the inside of the building at 4.000 and
over a thousand were turned away.
The singing was the grandest yet
heard, mostly old time hymns being
sung on account of the shortage of
song hooks. Mr. Arthur Young, who
has won a way inti tile heart of the
people with his beautiful cornet solos,
played by request "Saved by Grace”
and was tendered a ovation at the
close of it by the audience.
Rev. Baker read a resolution by the
Ministerial Association of Tulsa com-
mending Dr. Bulgin anil his co-labor-
ers. After reading it he asked that all
who were in accord with the senti-
ments expressed to rise and the large
audience arose to its feet almost to a
man. The resolution follows;
"VVe, the Ministerial Association of
the city of Tulsa, desire to record our
appreciation of thy work of Dr. E. J.
Bulgin and his singers amongst us.
\Ve have enjoyed Ins preaching, his
brotherly greeting, his sympathetic in-
| terest in fallen men and women his
j earnest efforts for their salvation and
j tlie upbuilding of God's church,
j "We most sincerely commend his
i work and shall pray God's blessing
upon him. We also appreciate the
work of Profs. Rose and Miller in
solo and chorus work, and the help-
ful work of Mr. Saw*ers in looking af-
ter details of the work and of caring
for the new converts.
”'\\ e commend all these brethren
and the work they are doing and shall
gladly welcome their return to Tulsa
whenever the opportunity shall ar-
rive.”
Prof. Sawers stated that the num-
ber of converts during the meeting
would reach over 700 and that three
young men had decided to become
ministers of the gospel since the meet-
ings started. Dr. Bulgin stated that
nine couples who had been separated
had been reunited through the inu-
ence of the meetings. “No man can
ever attempt to estimate what that
means to womanhood and society in
general. God help that your people
continue ti keep up this work we have
started ami this revival will never be
ended,” said Dr. Bulgin.
Dr. Bulgin then made a short talk in
which he thanked all those who had
so kindly assisted him during the
meetings, such as the newspapers, ho-
tels, Palace livery barn. Frick-Reid
Supply Co., Platt Music store and the
ministers of the city.
Prof. Rose, assisted by Mrs. Robin-
son and Miss Cover gave a recital
last night at the Baptist church. There
will he no admission charged but a
silver offering will be presented to
Prof. Rose.
Dr. Bulgin and his co-workers leave
today for California.
A great work has been accomplished
in the revival meetings just closed. Thr
seed sown by Dr. Bulgin in the hearts
of the people of Tulsa wil live on and
eternity will only tell , the various
churches of the city have been re-
viled. and the pastors are now work-
ing with renewed zeal and energy to
continue the good work begun. In the
history of Tulsa there has never been
such an awakening for good and right-
eousness and the prayers and good
wishes will follow Dr. Bulgin in his
new field of labor.

in the intention of President Roosevelt
to go from the inaugural ceremonies at
the capitol direct to his train for Oyster

lations of the country.
Mr. Taft said that no material
changes, if any, would lie made in the
address as the result of the confer-
ence. He added that he had previously
gone over the whole document with Mr.
Roosevelt.
James Groves Left the United States
Army Without Permission.
After having liver in Tulsa for nearly
a year, and having built up a good
reputation James Groves, who has
been employed in various places in the
city, was last night arrested by Officer
William Neff on the charge of desert-
ing from the United States army.
Groves admitted his guilt. A telegram
was sent to Fort Sill last night and
it is expected that a detachment will
arrive from that place today to take
charge of the prisoner.
Groves enlisted in tho army when
but a mere hoy and served one com-
plete term. He left service with the
determination to enter civil life. After
he was out but a few months he de-
cided to go back and he relnlisted for
a second term. He spent one year and
eight months under military decipline
then he desetretd. Groves was recog-
nized here by an old acquaintance and
the information was given to the of-
ficers. His arrest followed.
never
the
great revival which has for the
past four weeks stirred the city,
came to a formnl ending on Sun-
day night. The great interest
which has been manifested in the
meetings reached the highest pitch
on that evening, and more than a
score of converts was the result.
From every point of view the re-
vival was a great success. It is
estimated that more than 700 per-
sons made profession of faith, and
according to the reccds, the
churches of the city will have in
excess of three hundred new mem-
bers. Hundieds of others moved
for the first time by the evangelist
will doubtless find their way to-
ward a Christian belief in the near
future. From a Material point of
view the meeting was most suc-
cessful. The tabernacle costing
$1,750, was paid for, and a free
will offering cf $1,150 was given
Dr. Bulgin in appreciation of his
work here.
Dr. Bulgin left last Monday
for Long Beach, Cal., his home,
for a short vacation after which he
will return and conduct a revival
ship of Professors Rose and Miller
in the services of song, and the
helpful work of Mr. Sawers in
managing the details of the meet-
ings and in caring for the converts
Be it Therefore Resolved, That
we commend all these brethern
and the work they are doing, and
shall gladly welcome their return
to Tulsa.”
