ton of commissioners and visitors to-
day. Ono OF these conferences was in

executive committee of foreign mis-
sions. the presbyterian chairmen of

Smith. D. D., executive secretary Of
foreign missions; Charles 4. Rowland,
chairman of the laymen's missionary
movement and j. r. McCallie. chairman
of the asscmblyS campaign committee
on evangelism and stewardship. Many
other ministers and laymen took part
in the open discussions which formed
the greatest part Of the program.
Among the most important conclusions
reached by this conference regarding
the missionary operations of the church
were these:
First That tho missionary lterature
would be increased
Second. That the work of tho exeou-
tive committee OF foreign missions does
not extend To the point OF leaving no
work to be done by presbyterian and
synodical committees OF foreign mis-
sions,
Third That the every member can
vass for foreign missions should in no
church preclude special appeal and spe-
cial offerings to thai cause
Fourth. That the every member can
vass for foreign missions should be
separated from tho similar canvass for
the other benevolences OF the church
Fifth. Every man. woman and child
In tho church should be brought to real

Limiting Appropriation Bills.


The Democratic leaders in the
house have done wisely in giving seri-
GUS consideration to the limitation OF
appropriation bills.
When the late Samuel ]. Randall
many years ago ran counter in his
protection ideas to the free trade poll
lcies of the dominant faction in his
party he was punished by the with
drawal Of appropriation bills from his
committee. Under the new system
the bills relating to the army and
navy, agriculture, pensions, ETC., were
framed by the committees which dealt
with those matters, and, as natural
consequence, each committee, working
independently, placed no limit upon
Its expenditures. 1t Is now proposed
that a budget committee shall appor-
ton the amount beyond which no COM
mittee shall go In making up an APP
preparation bill Thus there will be
a correlation between the revenues
and the expenditures and economy
will be assured
The effort to rectify the abuses of
the present system will meet the COM
mendation of the country and demon
strate the desire of congress to run
the government upon business princi-
pies.

Woodrow Wilson became President
under peculiar conditions. He had
had only a brief political experience,
having been taken out Of the college
cloister and made governor Of New
Jersey as a steppingstone to higher
honors. In that executive position he
had shown much capacity, defniteness
OF purpose, and strength of character,
1t was this fact that led the country
to accept with confidence his elections
to the presidency, even though he was
not the choice of the majority Of the
people. At the same time, he was a
schoolmaster in politics. Although a
student Of government he had not
been active In public life. His ac-
quaintance with men and measures.
was naturally limited. There was still
a doubt in the popular mind whether
the fact that he had been good gov
ernor in his own state insured his sue
cessful administration as president.
Whatever doubts existed upon this
score have largely disappeared Pres
ident Wilson is undoubtedly stronger
In the country today than he was
when he entered the White House.
This is due, more than anything else.
to the fact that he seems to be inn
bued with good, hard, downright COM

asset. He seems to have the faculty
of governing his course of conduct by
rules which insure sensible action. In

NEWS OF THE
STATE CAPITAL
1,54s REQUESTS FROM TWENTY.
THREE COUNTIES FOR UNI.
VERSiTY EXTENSION.
MORE FUNDS ARE BADLY NEEDED
University Of Chicago May Handle
PaFt of the Work In State
Other News of the
State.

Already 1,54S requests have been
made for the extension work offered
by the University of Oklahoma in two
departments alone, the department Of
public discussion and debate and the
department of correspondence study.
This is the report of DR.. ]. G. Scroggs
Of the university extension faculty,
who has just returned from the second
weeks canvas of the county normals.
He has received reports from only
twenty-three normals, which Is little
less than one-third of the total num-
Der. Before the canvas is completed
1t is expected than there will be at
least 1000 requests from the teachers
of the state alone for the extension
work.
With the present appropriation of
$500 for the extension work of the
university, DR.. Scroggs declares, only
few hundred Of the many thousands
applying for courses In the extension
department can be accommodated.
DR.. Scroggs at present is negotiat-
ing with the University of Chicago to
take off his hands the correspondence
study which cannot be provided for
at the University of Oklahoma He is
making every effort to complete this
arrangement in order to accommodate
the thousands who are applying for
work In the extension department
which cannot be given on account Of
the lack of facilities.
1.-THE thousands of requests that are
coming from university extension
work are not coming from the uni
verslty but from the multitude who
are not able financially to go to the
university or any other school, While
they are not addressed to the legis-
lature, only the Legislature can answer
them The legislature should make
generous provision for university eX-
tension and doubtless would If 1t under
stood and realized the need and value
of the work being done by this de-
partment," DR.. Seroggs said
A bill was introduced in the house
providing for anadditional appropria-
ton of $4,000 Ofor the work.
West Is Criticized.
That Attorney General West may be
an extremely active and energetic Of
ficer and prompted by what he be-
lieves the best thing to do, but that
some of his policies have not served
to the best interests of the state nor
are hardly in keeping with the posi-
ton he holds as chief law officer and
adviser of the state government, is
the way the general investigating
committee of the house of represen-
tatives summarize their opinion Of his
official cancer.
The attorney general is censured
for various expenditures from the
funds of his department, including
items from shoe shines to unauthor-
lied assistant encouragement, and
is particularly criticised for his hand
ling of the Oklahoma 2-cent rate cases.
The stipulation filed in 1911 which
stopped all action in the Oklahoma
cases, says the committee, will cost
the travelling public Of Oklahoma APP
proximately $2,OOO,OOO and has put
Oklahoma two years behind neighbor-
ing states in fighting such litigation

$1oo,ooo,ooo COTTON CROP.
Glorious Sunshine PIeases RaIsers Of
the Fluffy White Pods.

These glorious days of sunshine in
Oklahoma are pleasing times for every
person who raises, gins or buys cot
ton, as the outlook for cotton in this
state is for a crop worth fully $780,
100000. Should yields in some of the
states recede, and the price of cotton
obtain firm place in the market, then
it is quite reasonable to assume that
the 1918 cotton crop of Oklahoma will
bring at least $125,OOO,OOO of gold into
this state.
Cotton experts are inclined to think
that Oklahoma will market 100000
bales of cotton as the crop Of 1913.
