An Alma college junior made the
astonishing announcement the other
day that the earth was rounder than a

Ernest Scott will entertain the Zeta
Sigma Society at Ladies Hall tonight
this being the anniversary of Lincoln's
birthday. We hope to give full
report of the affair next week.
Rev. VanSlyke spoke III behalf of the
seamen of our coast in the college chapel
Tuesday morning. The address was
very interesting and brought forth
hearty applause from all present.
The faculty have amended the
rule relative to attendance upon relig-
ious services on Sunday so that it now
reads, "All students are required to
attend church Sunday morning, etc. Z"
The following officers were elected
yesterday by the Junior class: Presi-
dent, VIM. Long; vice president, O. +.
Scott secretary, Mertha Peters, treas
ure, j. b. Stevens; poet, f. w. McCabe;
writer of class song, p. H. Bruske.
Another $500 scholarship, to be known
as The Harry G.. Kelton Memorial
Scholarship, has just been given to
Alma College by Mr.. John M. Kelton
and Mrs. Mary +. Kelton of West Bay
City, parents of Harry c. Kelton,
deceased.
The business mems gymnasium class
is very busily engaged under the in
struction of physical director Knox
Basketball, handball and longball are
among the games participated i'll. A
much larger number should avail them
selves of the advantages of this work.
After red hot debate in the Zeta
Sigma Society last Monday night the
judges decided that church attendance
should be made compulsory to students.
Probably this will account for the revis-
ion of the rules as announced by Presi-
dent Bruske Wednesday morning
Next Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Plum
will begin course of lectures before
the teachers class on that division of
pedagogy relating to child study. The
lecture will begin at 10 D. m. Stand
ard time. All parents and persons in
terested are cordially invited to be
present. The class will meet in the

Senator Nudge of this district h

Senator Nudge of this district has
given notice of bill to cut the rate for
legal printing from 10 to 80 cents per
folio. Two years hence, if the preacher
senator is candidate for reelection, 1t
will be amusing to see the newspaper
men in this district falling over each
other in their mad rush TO his support
In order to show their appreciation OF
his effort to reduce their already meagre
income. But then the senator may in
tend to even up matters by correspond
ingly reducing the income of butcher
and baker, and the coal and wood
dealer down TO charges corresponding
with the amount he would lop off the
income of the newspaper man by re-
ducing his rates for legal printing. This
is fair sample of his caliber and no
more could be expected of him A man
that is entirely void of business exper-
fence, one should not expect much of,
except TO be lackey for some one who
by inexperience wants to legislate to
rob and grind someone down to starva-
ton prices.

Senator Hill in his magazine article on
"The Future of the Democratic Organi-
zation," draws a gloomy picture of that
party's prospects. 1t is true to life,
however. In the absence of union be-
tween the two factions of the party there
is not the slightest chance for it to win,
for the coalition between the silver dem
ocrats and the populists can hardly be
renewed. A powerful element of the
Populists is against any further alliance
with the democrats, and many of the
latter think they could have done better
in the recent campaign without fusion.
The present temper of the gold and silver
democrats show that the breach in their
party is as broad as it was in the can
vass. If the republican party avoids
blunders, and the likelihood is that it
will, the outlook for Democratic success
at any early day will remain dark.
