Federal Council of Christian Workers
Plans State Organizations.

Philadelphia, Dec. 4.-Home mis-
sions and evangelism were the prin-
cipal subjects discussed at the morn
ing session today of the federal coun-
ell of the churches of Christ in
America which is meeting in Weather
spoon hall in this city. The latest re-
port of the secretary of the council
shows that 33 of the Christian bodies
in the United States holding to his
torical and evangelical christianity
are now represented in the council,
the object of which is to bring the
churches in the united service for
Christianity.
Following the disposal of consider
able business, the council took up the
work of state federations which was

Vastness which local conditions alone
can give. is the local declarations face
tasks concrete and definite. DR.. Gift
ford gave a review of the actual ex-
perience of existing state declarations
and his conclusion is that such
organizations are both practicable and
necessary.
Episcopal church, south, who was
elected president of the council, pre-
scented the report of the committee on
organization and development.
The bishop said the world wide
federation movement among protest.
ant churches is perhaps the most
notable keynote of the new century
and of its Christian progress. He
outlined the plan of organization for
federation and presented the follow
ing recommendations which were
formulated by the committee:
That the federal council approve
the formation and development of
plans that will secure effective office
and field service in advancing the
work of church unity.
That in addition to the equipment
of the central office in the city of New
York the executive committee be
authorized to provide for district
superintendent in at least four
strategic centers of population repre-
senting different sections of the coun-
tTV.

NATION CALLS HALT.
Puts Stop to Expensive Meals on
Dining Cars.

State Auditor J. NJ. Nation has
served notice on all state officers that
hereafter he will allow them only
seyenty-five cents for each meal taken
on trains while they are travelling on
the states business and Will make no
such allowance for short trips.
This manifesto will appeal to the
average Kansan, whether he be corn
fed or hail from the short grass coun-
try. The idea of a public servant of
the state paying more than six bits
for one meal! It is bad enough for
him to eat on a palace car at all, but
when it comes to ordering French
dishes and tipping the waiter before he
leans back on the plush cushions to
smoke his three-fOr-a- dollar cigar, his
plain and Godfearing constituents see
danger ahead for the commonwealth.
Rome fell because of luxury in high
places. Kansas is a land of plenty.
Her crops and her live stock are the
wonder of the world. Her farmers are
rich and happy and the natural re-
sources of the state are as rich as the
early Spanish dreams of western en-
pires. But this is all the more reason
that her public officials should yield
not to tempt alton to become gour-
mands and fall upon evil and idle
ways. No epicure was ever a states
man. Count Castellane started on his
downward course amidst the enervat-
ing luxury of a dining car.
