Prohibition is always put to q So

erroneous impression to the effect
that greater license and latitude are
allowed at this season. it has been
the wont of many in the past to graft
fytheir appetites and give themselves
over to ali manners of deba uchery.

While in conversation with Mr..
JsF. Payne on Saturday, the writer
was pleased to learn Of the greatly
improved conditions in the Meeting
Street section. Mr.. Payne said the
Meeting Street camp, w. o. w,
gave two oyster suppers- one just
preceding Christmas and the other
daring the .holiday-in order to
raise funds with which to properly
equip their hall, and that, contrary
to the experiences of the past, per-

Drunkenness at either of these fnne-
tions, and the absence of whiskey
was very generally and fsvorsbly
commented upon by the Woodmen
who were responsible for the proper
management Of, these social gather
iings.
Mr.. Payne further stated that
when the dispensary was located at
Edgefeld the older and more
thoughtful citizens of hiacommuni.
II dreaded for the young people to
have a party or social gathering, for
some young men of that community,
as, well as some. from adjoining
neighborhoods, would always pro.
vide a supply of liquor for the oc.
scasion. As a result, not infrequent-
:-ly their parties would end in a row;
always in confusion and disorder.

changed. A new order of things
now exists.

comes through prohibition is re

GIVES OUT REPORT
Lutheran Church Committee
Makes Known the Results
of It's Deliberations.
AT SESSION HELD HERE
As Intimated at That Time, Members
Will Recommend Strict Regula-
tions to the Synod.

AS intimated in The Argus last
Thursday, the decisions reached by
the special committee on church con
stitution in the Augustana synod at
the session held at Augustana college
last week are unfavorable to secret
societies and to woman suffrage in
church affairs. This weeks issue of
Augustana, the synod's official organ
which appeared this afternoon, con-
tains a complete report of the commit
tees deliberations. confirming the ac-
count given last week concerning the
committees action.
The restrictions on secret societies
are made much more severe, and the
character of such organizations are de-
fined so minutely as to leave no room
for ambiguous Interpretation. A spe-
cial article has been inserted in the
constitution forbidding pastors in the
synod from participating in burial GER
emonies with any secret society In
the question of suffrage, women are
excluded from all voting privileges in
exception of selection of pastor.
Regarding secret Societies.
Any member of the church joining
a secret society will be subject TO
church discipline and final excommuni-
cation if he does not comply with the
regulations of the church Secret So
cieties are defined explicitly as such
that require candidates for member
also such that practice religious cere-
monies. Church members are allowed
to become members of fraternal aid
organizations only for the purpose of
securing insurance. sick and burial aid.
They are prohibited. however from
attending any meetings of such organ
iZations, or participating IN any way
in celebrations or ceremonies of sucn
organizations.
Chairman Explains.
In an explanation of the action of
the committee. DR.. j. A. KrantZ, chair
man. states that the committee will
meet again June l to draw up the con-
stitution in its final form before sub
hitting it before the synod at Red
Wing, Mimi. In the meanwhile he in
vites general discussion through the
synodical organ of the proposed
changes. If much opposition develops
before the committee meets again, il
is possible that it will modify the re
