Fred Schriever & Co,
Lutheran Church Notes
By Rev C. It. Lowe.
Saturday's news brought us the in
formation of the favorable vote of
the board of trustees of Midland col-,
lege at Atchison, to remove the in
stitution to Fremont, Nebraska. The
really surprising thing of it all was
the unanimity of the vote. No one
would suppose that the six members
from Atchison would vote for the
removal, and aside from these votes
there were but two votes for Atchi
son. That shows the sentiment of
the church on the proposition. The
board has about as many laymen on
it as ministers. That the Kansas
men voted for the change is surpris
ing indeed, and can be but an ac
knowledgement on their part that
Fremont, Nebraska, is a much better
location for our college. Of course
the money that was offered had its
effect and influence, but twice that
much would not have taken U to
some other places where there was
no-Luthurnn advantage, ti It is tlic
intention to begin the work at Fre
mont this fall. The Commercial club
of that city is apparently meeting
with great success in getting their
pledges under way, since they have
about succeeded in winding up n
successful canvas for three times the
amount they had thought in the first
place, and this is more than just se
curing pledges, it is pledges that
cannot be got out from under by re
fusal to pay. If the progress of the
whole matter to date is indicative of
the future,, it certainly mcuns a suc
cessful future for Midland college,
nnd that we in our community will
get behind the matter with students
and money, and do our share. '
Mr. Learner reports another inter
esting thing done by the board. The
old preparatory department has been
done away save the "subfrcshman"
year. That is good. Thero are high
schools all over the states and there
ought not to bo a call for our sus
taining one in connection with the
college.
Last Sunday morning at Salem
there was a call nnade for dll those
interested in a Young People's soci
ety to come to the church at eight
o'clock, and we would-talk over the
matter and possibly nrrivo at a con
clusion. Accordingly thero were
about twenty-five people present hnd
after some discussion the pastor' ap
pointed Mr. Horace Culbertsoiri' tem
porary president, and he in turn ap
pointed Miss Ora Beerman tempora
ry secretary. After further discus
sion it was decided to call the organ
ization a Christian Endeavor Society
rather than a League. Some coun
cil was had as to the line of topics
and study which would be taken up,
this was finally left to a committee,
Miss Vera Brown, chairman; Law
rence Armour, Miss Vera Beerman,
and Rev. Lowe. This committeo
will meet at the home of Miss Brown
Friday night. A committee as to
the financial matters was appointed,
Frank Brown, Paul Graham and Miss
Gertrude Gribblc. These commit
tees are to report at the meeting
next Sunday night.
This is a mighty good move, the
first intention was to occupy the sum
mer months, but wo may runon all
the time. Our young people need
i something of this sort, and they will
push it along.
Last Sunday there were eight of
our young people confirmed. Misses
Marguerite and Alices Brown, Miss
Ora Beerman, Masters Varren Fisher,
Donald Ebel, Clarence Ostmeyer, Ar
nold Roost, Porter Sides. This fol
lowed a week's catechetical instruc
tion at the church. The method of
a week's school worked out very sat
isfnctdrlly indeed, though thero were
sumo whom wo expected did not get
to attend.
Last Friday a number of the folks
came to the church and cleaned it.
The seats wero rearranged by put
ting the short pews together, end to
end on one side of tho.houso, and the
long ones on the other side, so that
there is a wide aisle up the middle
of tho room. This 'makes a pleas
ant change, and wus favorably com
mented upon Sunday by a good num
ber of the people.

Following is a copy of a letter re
ceived by Congressman R. E. Evans
from tho secretary .of tjio navy with
reforenco to the disposal of relics
from the old battleship "Maine."
May 27, 1919.
Hon. It. E. Evans,
U. S. House of Representatives,
Washington, D. C.
Sir:
Thero are on hand at tho Navy
Yard, Washington, D. C, 1311 memor

These tablets and tho ' material
mentioned are to be disposed of in

22, 1912, which is quoted us follows:
"The secretaries of war nnd navy
are authorized to cause to be made
from any parts of tho wreck of tho
Maine or its equipment that are
suitablo for the purpose, tablets for
donation as relics in conformity with
tho provisions of tho Act of Decem
ber 22, 1911, making appropriations
to supply urgent deficiencies; Provid
ed, Tli at tho cost of such tablets may
be charged against any unoxpenddd
balances of appropriations heretofore
mndo for tho removal of tho wreck
of the Maine and that tho munici
palities and other bodies receiving
such tablets shall defray thu cost
thereof, which shall be reimbursed to
the proper uppiopriation."
The Act of December 22, 1911,
specifies that the following nro enti

Municipalities.
Military or naval associations or

It is requested that this Informa
tion bo furnished to any of your con

theso relics and that they further bo
informed that on request to tho sec

Ic8 will be furnished. -
Very truly yours,
JosephUK Daniels,
Secretary of tho Navy.
DAKOTA OltY, N5BB&
w,
MKXICO
By Rev. C. It. Lowe.
I remember about six years ago
the windup of a story in the Sunset
mngnzine. Tho writer had been tell
ing of the Mexican situation of the
timo, and as tho last fling of his
story, he asked an old negro of
southern California what hp thought
of the situation, nnd got n rcplv
something like this, "I'll tell, you,
Uncle Snm will jes hnfftn pick up tho
no'the'n boundry o' Mexico and carry
it down to the southe'n Bo'dnh.
And the situation has not improved
very much over what was tho then
situation. Thero is not anyone who
wants to do tliQ above thing, wo have
trouble enough right now absorbing
various bloods without taking on
Ynquis Indians, Spaniards, and half
breeds of the republic to the south,
and then we nre not out for territor
ial expansion. "
But just the same, tho situation in
Mexico is one that demands some at
tention. There nro not many, of us
who could tell the number of revolu
tions and counter revolutions, how
many officers havo been elected and
then murdered, but we all know
there is something wrong. Wo talk
about graft in this country, but we
nre not in it beside Mexico. It
seems every avenue of revenue in tho
land has been exploited to a finish
and yet thero is nothing in the nat
ional treasury but deficits. Private
concerns have been taken over with
out compensation, and not only that
but the jives of the owners havo been
unprotected by the government. Noth
ing is safe in Mexico, not even the
natives. The trouble is not an out
break agoinst foreigners especially,
tho at times it would seem so. Villa
but a few weeks ago, told' the peoplo
to plant their crops early so they
would not bo subiect to n. fmnine
when the men were fichtimr. It
is one premeditated insurrection af
ter another, no quiet, or safoty.
The problem before us is, what are
we going to do about lt, if anything.
The situation is not only a miserable
situation at our door, but it is one
of danger to our own peoplo in our
own country. Tho lawfully acquired
interests of our citizens in Mexico
are endangered is enouch. but when
we are endangered in tho land north
of the Rio Grando, the time hns come
to sny something and do'something
definite toward settling difficulties.
But the other day, Gov. Hobby of
Texas, called for a force of mon from
the government because tho number
nt hand was not sufficient for safety.
Who is going to let the restless out
laws of another state come across tho
border, who is going to let their fel
low countrymen bo endangered by
bandits across tho border, who would
let irresponsibilities violate our terri
tory? If American citizenship is
worth anything it ought to bo protec
ted, and if you want yours protected
you will havo to protect your follow
Americans. Just because we are not
in danger in Dakota County is no
valid reason why border Americans
should have no protection. We all
stand or fall together in our country.
Who says wo nro nfrnid of n bit of
trouble"? Ask Germany. Wo havo
not got awako to the situation yet,
nnd, .we have had so' much else on
hand that larger and of more im
mediate necessity that we could but
rub our eyes at Mexico and say, "You
better look out." "Sandstormors"
were doing a duty on tho border
neither they or wo appreciated.
Their very presence was a quieting
force, they could bo marched out at
anytime, and thero was comparative
quiet there, no call for their march
ing. In ono word, it was prepared
ness and that staved off trouble.
Nobody thero now in that several
million dollar sand swept camp and
tho trouble begins.
What do wo do with disturbers of
tho peaco in our neighborhood? Wo
call tho cop. And that is where wo
aro getting to in tho Mexican affair.
Of course they do not want any in
terference in their "internal affairs",
neither docs any ono else who is dis
turbing tho peace in privato ways,
but tho officer simply says, "Explain
it to tho judge." If tho powers of
tho country cannot make peace and
protect property and person, some
one else will havo to. Tho plea of
self determination to go on fighting
and raising cain in general don't go.
Thero wns n timo whnn wn rnuld
not give this tho attention it desorv-1
ed, but wo aro getting into a differ
ent situation, now. If you aro look
ing for a precedent you havo It in
Lincoln's attitude toward Franco at
the close of tho Civil War when ho
made them get out of Mexico by de
claring lie would send tho entlro fed
oi al army into Mexico to drive them
out if they did not go. They went.
Pershing's trip into Mexico was a
military bluff, and now since wo aro
unfettered from other directions, wo
con do as ought to bo done, make
them behave. That is the way wo
have done in Cuba, Venezuela, Nica
ragua, Panama. If wo are going to
stand for the Monroe doctrine as wo
havo fought for it at tho peace ta
ble nt Versailles, wo will havo to
look to the safety of life and proper
ty in Mexico, or somebody else will,
and then wo will have to go to ttfo
defense of that doctrine, and tho best
time to make it safe is to get in first
nnd settle things. Wo had bettor
get in on the ground floor. That is
but common sense judgment. Of
course, some will opposo it, somo op
posed our entrunco in tho great war
just closed, but they did not say
much. In this case they may sny
more, for it is not such a life and
death matter, as yot, but who will
suy what it will dovelop into. En
gland, France, and bomo others may
yet force us into the matter, us thoy
did in Venezuela twenty-fivo yours
ago by declaring if wo do not do
something under tho Monroe, doc
trine, thoy will do something, for
tholr citizons and their property
must bo made safe. And thero wo
will be. Wo will havo to play, for
that is tho rule. We better get in
terested In tho Mexican affair.
We are being asked by Europe to
take over tho affairs of Turkey und
Armenia, and we will probably do, it
In tho end, that is n long way oiT.
and hero wo are with a case as bad
and as Incompetent and yot wj havo
not given tho matter much attention
as a nation. Mr. Wilson "may havo a
policy, but it has not been mado pub
t imrrnw.i'mmF
lic. Ho may act when ho gets
tho
European problem off his hands. Wo
hope ho doos, If somebody was
treating you ns Mexico is treating
our government there would bo a
fight directly. I might tramp on
your toc.3 a timo or two and get away
with the plea that it was an acci
dent, but if I kept it up you would
concludo you wero being imposed up
