VOLUME XXVI
ANNUAL CONFERENCE
COMES TO CLOSE
_gt i) a ys of Methodist Conferenrn
Busy —Uev. J. W. Caughlan
r Returned to Pullman
One of the features of the M. E. ,
conference was the banquet for mln- ,
inters and laymen held last Friday |
evening. The tables were spread in |
the spacious rooms in the basement
of the church, but so large was the j
attendance that seats were at a pre
mium and during the program of |
speeches there was standing room
only. Immediately after the banquet
a short praise service was led by the ;
Rev. B. E. Koontz of the Coeur j
d'Alene district. Then L. O. Meigs
of North Yakima was introduced as j
toastmaster by Floyd L. Daggett, |
president of the laymen's associa
tion. The principal address was de
livered by Governor Ernest Lister,
who took for his subject, "Good Cit- '
izenship." and made a very earnest
and effective plea for higher stand- ;
ards and ideals among the citizenship
of the state. He asserted that these
standards and ideals must be ac
quired in the home and dwelt upon
the duty of parents to inculcate in '
their children an oppreciation of ;
their privileges and responsibilities ;
as citizens of this commonwealth. '
The address made a deep impression '
and elicited much favorable com-!
ment.
Bishop Cooke made an address on
the subject of the conference claim
ants, declaring that the conference
claimants was a vital issue of the
church for the next year.
The Rev. H. O. Perry, superintend
ent of The Dalles district, spoke. on
"The Relationship of the Church to
the Layman."
\ •'; In the absence of George F. Cot- ;
terill of Seattle, who was to speak on
"Statewide Prohibition." the Rev. K.
H. Todd discussed "Methodist Educa
tional Opportunity in the State of I
Washington."
The Rev. F. B. Short in his ad- j'
dress, "Our Present Day Problems
and Their Solution," declared the
paying of church debts, the church j
educational institutions, benevo- j
lence's and the building of a Spokane i
hospital costing $250,000 are the ■
problems, of the conference.
By the appointment of a committee
of five to confer with Bishop Richard '
J. Cooke the matter of reducing the i
number of district superintendents'
in the Columbia River conference
from five to three, brought up at
the laymen's meeting, was probably
disposed of for this year.
Laymen's Association
The morning session of the laymen
was presided over by President Floyd
L. Daggett. Commutes were an
nounced as follows: Credentials, A. j
R. Reeves, chairman, F. D. Stimmel '

ness,. E. H. Cox, chairman, W. 11. ■
Miller and J. A. Ferris; resolutions.
Fred Kemp, chairman, C. L. Cham- <
berlin and Elton Fulmer.
' After an address by the Rev. E.
B. Todd, president of the Puget
Sound college, the meeting ad
journed to the joint session with the
members of the conference to listen
to the address of the bishop, who
said, in part:
■ "Know thyself if you wish to be
come a good preacher. Absorb your
studies, master them, and the best
way to master them is to preach and
teach them. Gather the young folks
around you and teach them. If you
would be a power In the community
Set a sense of God—then you will
know yourself."
The election of officers resulted in
tr-e choice of Floyd L. Daggett to
serve another year as president,
'he other officers chosen were:

kane district, John Young for the
Coeur d'Alene district, Fred Kemp
'or. the Wenatchee district, R. A.

time to look over the fall opening
advertisements of the merchants and

Saturday to inspect the splendid
stock of fall merchandise which will
be displayed at the stores.
NUMBER 50
GOVERNOR LISTER
DEFINES POLICY
Denies That Me Favors One Board
of Regents to Manage the State
College and Htato University
Governor Ernest Lister was In
Pullman last week to speak at the
banquet of the ministers and laymen
of the M. E. conference, He came up
from Colfax by automobile Friday
afternoon with C. L. MacKenzie and
Martin Maloney. He remained until
Saturday afternoon and during his
stay inspected the college farm and
the new buildings which are under
Construction. To a representative
of The Herald he gave the following
authorized interview:
"1 have never said I favored a sin
gle board of regents to manage both
the State College and the State Uni
versity, and 1 am opposed to It, and
can not. see how it would result In
am benefit, although there are many
j advocates of the plan. Had I con-
plated such a move Hie oppor
tunity was presented when the
jchange in the regents of the Stale
University was made. The State
College has been doing splendid
work during the last year and a half,,
and everything has been moving
along satisfactorily with three re
gents. The two vacancies might have
been filled ere this bud not Lieuten
ant Governor Hart attempted to nil
'them during my absence from the
state.
"I am and always have been a sin
cere friend of the State College, and
desire to see it progress and do the
best work possible. If there are some
courses being taught at the State •
University which more properly come
under the curriculum of the State
College I believe that they should be
transferred to the institution here,
and if, on Investigation; It Is proved
that some courses are being taught
here that more properly belong to the
| work of the university I believe that
they should he changed to there. I
want to see both institutions develop
along lines which will render the best
service to the people of the state.
"My attitude toward the college
has frequently been misquoted and
misrepresented by persons who are
not real friends of the Institution, '
but are trying to make political cap
ital by arousing local jealousy."
He further stated that In his
opinion, agriculture and the me
chanic arts, are the two courses
which should be emphasised at the
college, but that the teaching of
other courses as a foundation and
adjunct to these is all right, if they
are subordinated and taught as lead
ing up to the main subjects. He
spoke highly of the work of Presi
dent Bryan and asserted that no one
in the state con Id truthfully say that
during the past 18 months the col
lego has not been accomplishing
splendid results, better perhaps than
ever before in its history. He ex
pressed himself as highly pleased
with the plans of the new buildings
and the excellent workmanship and
material which is going into them.
This is a matter on which the gov
ernor Is fully qualified to judge, as
he is an experienced contractor. He
also highly complimented conditions
:on the college farm, which, he re
marked, had greatly improved since
his last visit, He appeared to be
glad of the opportunity to clear up
the misapprehension Which has ex
isted regarding bis attitude toward
the college and referred humorous
ly to the fact that some persons who
bad criticized the administration of
the college most severely are the
very ones who recently have been
attacking him because, they alleged,
be is hostile to the college. He said
that in the future he hoped the peo
ple of Pullman and Eastern Wash
ington would judge him by his acts
in reference to the college and not
by what other persons, said "die was
going to do. He was accompanied
on his inspection of the college by
Regents McCroskey and Cunning
ham.
