UNITED CHURCH CONVENTION.
Big Meeting Held at Fargo Last
Week.

The 9th annual meeting of the
United Lutheran church was held at
Fargo last week.
President Dahl reviewed the move
ment for church union, and spoke
with confidence of its early consum-
nation.
Recognition was accorded the
Young Peoples league as valuable
factor in church work.
Encouragement was given the
movement to celebrate the 400th an
niversary of the Reformation next
year, in the individual congregations
as well as by the new Norwegian
Lutheran church body, which it is
hoped will be accomplished by that
time. Approval was also given the
suggestion of participation in the ma
tional celebration to be held by all
Lutherans OF America.
The report of Secretary Roseland
contained the following principal
facts: Number of pastors and profess
sors, 81; congregations, 1,315;
churches, 1927; total membership,
256,S30; voting members, 63,505;

Flood Damage Exaggerated.

The damage, as reported in many
of our exchanges, in regard to the
recent flood at McGregor is not near
ly as great as many persons are in
clined to think that it is. BY anoth-
er week the streets will all be in good
shape again and what debris re-
mains will lie cleared away. While
there was loss, of course, the esti-
mates as given in the dailies and
many of the weeklies is not nearly as
bad as reports would indicate.
The papers in this section of the
state have estimated the crowds here
a week ago Sunday to view the work
of the recent food at from 5000 to
10000, the latter statement being
made in the Ossian Bee. Iowa news
briefs made the statement that four
persons were drowned and the water
came up six feet in five minutes; also
the Elkader line was wiped off the
map. This is a case where fiction
is stranger than truth.-McGregor

THE CHAUTAUQUA OPENS.
CaImeliny's Old Colonial Band
Opening Attraction. Pleased
Big Crowd.

The Midland Chautauqua Com
.pany opened in Decorah last evening
on the high school grounds. The at
traction was Carmeliny's Old Colon
ial Band, and to say that they pleased
the big audience in attendance is put
ting it mildly. The band is made up
of finished musicians of the highest
ability and the program rendered
was high class in every particular.
The Chautauqua starts out this
year in a very successful way, and
before the week is over it will no
doubt not only prove financial sue
cess, but an enjoyable and pleasing
affair all through
On next Sunday morning union
church services will be held at 1890.
An address will be given by Floyd
Miles, of Des Moines, a well known
newspaper man. The services will
be free.
The managers of the Chautauqua
wish to state that parents need have
no fear to let their children attend
daily and play about the Chautauqua
grounds. Some were dubious sbout
letting the children attend, en- ac-
count of the recent flood, perhaps
anticipating another one providing a
heavy rain should come. The high
school building was not entered by
the water and, even though the water
should come again, and we guess
there is no danger now, the children
would all be taken care of in the
school building.

PRESIDENT CALLS OUT MILITIA
Militia of Every State Called for Ser
vice on Mexican Border.

Washington, June 19.-Upon Gen
eral Carranza's reception of a stern
refusal to heed his demands for re-
call of American troops from Mexico
hinges the question of a Mexican war,
in the opinion of President Wilson's 5
close advisers. They were prepared
Monday night for the possibility OF
open hostilities after the note, which
will be sent forward Tuesday, has
reached Carranza's hands.
No indication has come that the
first chiefs attitude of implacable
hostility would be shaken by the reit-
Grated declaration of the latest COM
munication that the United States
has no aggressive or warlike purpose
toward Mexico, but is firmly resolved
to protect her borders and end brig
andage in the border states.
The reply to Carranza's s note, de-
manding recall of General Pershing's
expedition was in the hands of the
government printer Monday night,
preparatory to its delivery and publ
cation yesterday.
The militia will number perhaps
100000 men and they will be sent
to the border to protect Americans
end American interests, wherever
and fully as Gen Funston determines
them to be needed for the purpose
stated.

The Vote on the Governorship.

The people of Iowa this year are
disregarding party lines so far as the
vote on the governorship is concern
ed. Many Democrats are going to
vote for Harding, the Republican
nominee, who is termed as "wet, "
and many Republicans are going to
cast their votes for Meredith, the
Democratic nominee, who said he was
an absolute dry" And if Woman
suffrage is forced into the Democratic
platforms of the state and nation 1t
will mean defeat to Democracy. Pro-
hibition and suffrage are whims and
will result in no good to any one

PRESIDENT TWENTY-FOUR
HOURS.

No matter what the decision at the
polls in November, or the subsequent
action of the presidential electors
who are then chosen, Robert Lansing
will be the president Of the United
States pro tempore for about twenty
four hours, if presidents are follow
ed next year.
President Wilson's term of Office
will end at noon on Sunday, March
4, 1917, and from that hour until a
few minutes after noon on March 3,
when the new president VIII take thS
oath of office, Mr.. Lansing, if then
secretary of state, will be acting
president. 1t is said that this is the
first time in the history or the couE-
try that the secretary of state will
have the opportunity to thus tenn
porarily hold the chief office in the
nation.
1t does not frequently happen that
the presidential term ana a session
of Congress terminate simultaneous
ly on a Sunday. This VIII happen
next March.
If precedents ara followed, and
there is no reason to belleve there
will be a change, Mr.. Lansing will
temporarily hold Office as president
of the United States, and it is claim
ed he should be permitted to sleep
under the White House roof that
eventful night and to occupy a seat
in the presidents carriage upon the
journey to and from the capitol on
Inauguration day.

tunity of his life when he resigned
the Office of secretary of state. He
would have been president regardless
