There was an effort made to prevent
the women and children from parad-
ing on election day. The motion was
made by Mr.. w. s. Bert and strongly
seconded by F. J. Trammell but the
other three councilmen voted it down.
This was entirely RI ht for the right
to parade is about on par with the
right of free speech and petition. Mr.,
Trammell went so far as to say that il
the women gave away coffee and
sandwiches that the saloon men had
right to give away whiskey and beer.
The council could not see it that way
and voted it down. Mr.. Welllnger IN
his levelheaded way said that he knew
of no law which would prevent people
from giving away bread and butter.
The council adopted resolution SET
ting it's face firmly against the buying
of votes OF the day of election and de-
clared that if fraud was shown on eth
er side they will take the matter In
hand and will decide against the guilty
party or take such action as they
may see fit regardless OF the result OF
the election.
The matter of the rebatlng the taxes
of certain industries of the city came
UP and was deferred until the City
Attorney, Mr.. w. w. Downey, could
get further information from the state
authorities on the subject.

Business Matters Disposed Of.

sessions be held triennially instead of
biennially as at present.
Two constitutional amendments were
taken up and, after discussion, passed.
The first deals with the doctrinal basis,
and states that the general synod re-
ceives and holds the unaltered Augsburg
confession as a correct exhibition of the
faith and doctrine of the church as
founded upon the Scriptures
Basis for Cooperation Of Synod.
The other amendment is entitled the
Secondary Symbols, and states tina,
while the general synod regards the Augs-
burg confession as a sufficient basis fol
the cooperation of Lutheran synods, IL
also recognizes the Apology of the Augs-
burg confession. the Smarkeld articles
the Small Catechism Of Luther. the Large
Catechism Of Luther and Formula Of
Concord as expositions OF Lutheran doc
trine of great historical and interpreta-
tive value.
Before becoming effective these amend.
ments must be submitted to the district
synods and approved by a majority OF
these bodies.
