As Well.

Washington, d. c., Jan. despite
opposition manifest by state univer-
stiles in many sections of the country.
Oklahoma included, to the Smith-Lev-
er agricultural extension bill, intro
duced at the last session of Congress,
1t is a practically certainty that the
measure will be given the official
Sanction of Congress when sessions
are resumed after the holidays.
The Senate committee on agricul-
ture of which Senator Gore is chair
man, hes reported the measure which
wolld extend Federal aid to all ag-
ricultural and mechanical colleges de
string it. BY this, National Legislat-
ors believe that the cause of better
and more scientific agriculture in
this country would be promoted as
never before in the history of the
country, and in this day when it Is
recognized that the future of the ma
tion rests with the farmer who is to
supply the breadstuffs, 1t is necessary
that there be marked advance in mod
ern methods of tilling the soil.
A bill establishing a rural credits
system In the United States also Is
TO be acted upon and this measure is
expected to follow much the lines Of
European systems, the Federal COM
mission of which Senator Gore was
member. having reported fully on
foreign schemes of aiding the agricul-
turist.
Senator Gore has several measures
in mind which are intended to further
enhance the welfare of the farmer ana
owing to the strong sentiment in Con-
gress and the Nation, favorable action
on the majority of these is expected.
Practically all members of the Ok
lahoma delegation in Congress have
remained in Washington for the holi-
days, shaping plans for their activ-
tiles during the remainder of the reg
ular session. Many measures OF in
terest to the State are to be instigated
by them when the regular session
resumes, they having deemed it prac-
tically impossible to gain much legis-
lation before Christmas, the currency
and other big issues hanging fire
Shortly after the House convenes in
January tho general Indian appropria-
tion bill will be reported from COM
mittee. Owing to the amount Of ap-
priations pearly carried in this meas
ure for the State OF Oklahoma. it is
deemed the most important from the
States standpoint and every member
of the delegation will be on guard to
see that each district in the State is
properly cared for. Representative

Any payment 10 the Choctaws has
been contested in both houses OF
Congress because Of the claims of the
Mississippi Choctaws to share in the

Thus is it made possible not only for the supplying of such demands as Europe may make, but it opens the way to business .n this line direct with Germany.
 By the probable release of the oil steamers there. appears to be a. recog- milton of & bona fde change of regis try but the discharge of the vessels will be accomplished without any act ual decision upon the point involved. The cargoes of such vessels are con- traband and in the handling of such goods the assurance is demanded by Great Britain that they be consigned to a definite consignee as a precaution against ultimately turning up in the possession of the belligerents. The annoyances which have been caused by the seizure of oil ships and the withholding of cotton shipments are some of the acconpaniments of war even for neutral nation, but the set ting forth of the attitude of Great Britain is bound to be of much help to those concerned in the future.

THE WRONG TIME,

Strange as it may seem there are always some who consider that it is delegated to them to call attention to the possibilities of war with certain nations and point out what vulnerable points there are and whether this or Ihat could or could not be done in xlolation of this nations stand.
 - There have been many instances of J1ngoistic talk about the possibility of war between this country and Japan and~ now the German ambassador seems to think it necessary to call at- tention to the strength and weakness of the Monroe doctrine as to its refer ence to Canada It may be we'll to know that Germany has no intention Of attempting any conquest in the western hemisphere, but there seems to be no good reason for raising such q. question with all it's attendant dis turhing influences just at this time.
 Whether it is a test of or intended simply as assurance to American sen- timent upon such a. proposition it is poorly timed when the efforts of this country are devoted to the mafnten. znce of strict neutrality. Germany would have a long way to go before any such step could be taken if con. tenplated. There are much more i'm portant strategic moves to be made nearer home before any step could bs made against Canada if planned h,,, even the raising of the question bn such Q representative now is not on1, untimely, but most-inconsiderate T.

CENTURY AND A HALF coURANr

There must always be a first and when it comes to newspaper in this country celebrating its century and a half of steady progress and achieve ment, the honors go to the Hartford Courant, and upon reaching that an- niversary that paper is entitled to the large number of felicitations and good wishes which it is doubtless receiving. In joining in the congratulations The Bulletin with it's 118 years speaks as from a younger generation, in admira- tion of newspaper of long standing enterprise.
 It's Iusty appearance in, its ami versary issue demonstrates as it should that it has grown strong instead of weak with age. The IA page edi- ton. page for every year of it's age. lacking six. was an achieve ment in itself of no insignificant i'm portance. It represents much research and work, but of a character in keep ing with the Couraft quality. The historical value of that birthday num- her gains instant recognition coyer- ing as it does the many eyentfuI periods of nation, state and city as well as the great revolution in news paper production. Probably to no one | thing is it more indebted for it's in- spring age than the fact that it has
 met the needs of the public which ii | has served. .:

WISDOM OF PRoeREsslvEs.

That there is Justification for the belief that there is to be a large re- turn to the republican ranks this fall by the members who formerly made up the third party Is disclosed not only in various sections of Connectt- cut by the declarations and efforts Of prominent men who have recognized the folly of their former course, but there is evidence of it in almost every state.
 In Milton. Mass, the leading merl- bers of the progressive organization have issued this statement to their followers: We realize that this year the contest in Massachusetts is sure to result in the election of either the republican or the democratic ticket. We consider that of these two parties the republican party is more entitled to our support than the democratic party. We therefore intend to vote this year the republican ticket and would accordingly. urge all progress sives to join us in this action and thereby assist in the defeat of our real enemy-Massachuse democracy.
 That such is sensible view of the situation is undeniable. It is action of a like character to that which has been taken III onlo. E1e4i liie sSioiIS progressive state of New Jersey is going to the support of republican can didates by the withdrawal of progress sive1 nominees who srealize they have absolutely no chance to be, elected. It is an example which many others have set and a course which has been figured out by large number of the rank and file, as the logica1.one to fol- low. It is consistent with the political situation today since there is no cause to endorse the democratic failure, but there is cause for blocking it
