SLIM CHANCE NOW
FOR INDIAN BILLS
THREE MEASURES ON CALENDAR
HANG BY THREAD AS CONGRESS
ADJOURNS TOMORROW.

Washington. Aug. 20.-The Oklaho'
ma Indian bills which have been re-
ported as local and emergency meas
ureS are hanging by a slender thread.
! They are the bill to extend the time
in which the settlers on the Kiowa,
Comanche and Apache pasture lands
may pay their forthcoming install
ment; the bill by Mr.. Carter Tor the
per capita payment TO the enrolled
members of the five civilized tribes,
and the bill by Mr.. Ferris for the dis
tribution of the funds of the Kiowas,
Comanches and Apaches etc.
These three bills are on the calen-
dar of the committee of the whole
and each measure must go through
the formality of debate ana passage
in committee of the whole. The short
ness of time makes it a serious prob
lem with the Oklahoma and Texas
congressman, who are pushing the
bills, whether they can be passed and
enacted into laws before adjournment
on Tuesday.
An attempt was made tonight TO
take up these bills, but Minority Lead
er Mann objected and the matter Went
over until Monday. when the meas
ures must take their chance IN be
tween the prospective long debate
over the cotton bill and the adjourn
ment resolutions.

DR. J, N. CARROLL
TALKS EDUCATION
INSISTS UPON THOROUGH PREP,
ARATioN FOR LIFE AND TELLS
NEED OF CHRISTIAN TRAINING.

A vast number of people assembled
last night at the airdome to hear Dr.
J. NJ. Carroll president of the OKLA
homa Baptist University, speak on
the subject of education. He took
the position that boys and girls now
have much keener competition in the
world of business than their parents
had, hence they need much better
education He insisted that the lOunu-
alton be laid right, that the teacher
should know thoroughly what she
does know, that the doctor who de-
pends upon the old time education will
be lost sight of in actual practice,
that the lawyer must be better educat-
ed today than he was tnlrty years ago
in order to meet his competition. The
business man, the mechanic and the
laboring man needs education more
now than at any other time in the
history of the world,
He also stated that a few years ago
il was rare thing that as much as
one hundred dollars was given TO the
cause of education, but now sums
in the thousands ana even in the
millions are being given to the cause
of education When G. G. Slaughter
of Dallas gave $4,000 for the cause
of education in Texas he was a pio-
neer in giving, no one had ever dream
eG of Texans going so far with their
means to endow colleges but not long
after the Slaughter money was receiN-
ed another Texan gave $4,000 and
the second man with $4,000 soon
came forward and half million dol
lars within a short time was gathered
in Texas for educational work. Re
Gently. he said, forty millions of dol
lars were given by one man. Through
out his speech he used apt stories
Of illustration and kept his crowd in
good humor.
As finale to his masterful address
on education, DR.. Carroll talked Chris
tian education. He said the Christian
college looked after the trinity Of
man, the body, the mind and the soul.
"Who ever heard of a revival in a
state university" the speaker said,
"and who has not heard of revival
in a. Christian college wnere large
portion of the boys and girls are
saved" He estimated that nineteen
twentieths of the souls that are saved
are saved during the school age of
life and impressed upon his hearers
the need of Christian education.
