Word has been received in Colorado

not To accept the presidency of oberlin

work as the chief executive OF Colorado

trustees of that institution rs well as
to the Doctors many friends in Colo

OF the strongest educators in the West,
and his absence from Colorado College
would be not only keenly felt at that
Institution but the state, educationally,
would sustain material loss. President
Slocum has at various times refused

true loyalty to his college in refusing
the ilattering offer from the trustees of

friends of Colorado College, he says;
"I have decided to remain not because

TO all who have noticed the movements
of the political parties in Fremont
county that the Republican party has
greatly increased In numbers since the
eve Of last presidential election. With
this fact in view the party should not
let itself be used as a stepping stone
for ambitious candidates over which to
reach the office of their ambition, but
whatever the party does should be done
for the sole purpose of strengthening
the party for present and future action.
II goes without saying that the Repub-

Yet spite the clang of aself-deafening horde

To pulse true life ,hro' the brackish
