q Gritnlsli, Oct. II - He came. he ca ".
he conquered, President select OF Iowa
College, Professor Sanders. OF Yale
University spoke before angaudience OF
~ 300 in the Congregat ional church here
last Sunday. The audience. was no
more curious to see the new president
than he was to gaze on the Grinnells
ties. He had not uttered ten sentences
before the listeners realized they were
up against something solid. He does
not belong to the lightweighlts. The
subject of the twenty minutes' address
was the important additions to Biblical
literature during the last fifty years.
So astrenuous" was his talk along this
line that already timid souls are hoping
his advent Will not change Grinnells
College into a Bible Society. Somehow
these Grinnell people, speaking college
wise. are now as afraid of a man with
.isns as they are of a thunder shower
that may turn into a tornado. You see,
they have had experience with both OF
these destructive forces.

There s an element that makes
sonnet hing out OF the fact that the new
resident-elect is not a minister, just al
plain professor. They refer with pleas
sureSto the fact that the president of
Yale is not a reverend; that President
Harper, of Chicago is hardly orthodox,
and that the president of Harvard is
not particularly noted for piety. Com
ing nearer home. the president Of the
Iowa State College at Anes has
dropped his prefix of Rev. and asks
that it shall be left off all public an-
nouncements. And now just as one
crowd is afraid of Iowa College, Of
Grinnell. being turned into q college
for the pre- eminent study of the Bible
and the other is rejoicing that al. last
Iowa College will not be run by a min
lister, comes the semi-ofiicial announce
ment that9if Professor Sanders accepts
he WILDE regularly ordained as minr
lister before he takes up this work.
Strange to relate, the writer is told that
the same reason that caused President
Gates to resign. I. e.. because his wife
cannot live in comfort in this climate,
may prevent Professor Sanders from
accepting Don't understand this to-
mean that Professor Sanders may not
accept because Mrs. Gates has hay
fever in Iowa, but because Mrs. SAN
ders may not like to come west. althos
she was formerly resident OF TINS
part of the country.

What Is considered to be "a good one
is on the republican politicians OF one
Iowa town. Roosevelt was not to speak
there. but big gun was. so to draw the
crowd big hanGbills We're printed an

the way, who stuck them UP infi. very
satisfactory manner. This work occu-s
pied two hours, for which bill was
presented for s7.S5. The treasurer

that snid democratic bin poster be-

who Clipped in on expenses say TINS

The other day the Illinois Central ran
a cheap excursion TO some point IN llli-}
nois. Over 900 took the trip from Man
son depot. many farmers going back for.
a visit 10 their former happy homes
which they. left to come to Iowa. Again az,
the writer is told that in the vicinity
of Manson between fifty and sixty
farmers. many of them Germans, have
this season gone back to Germanyson a
visit, taking in the worlds fair az
Paris en- route. All8this is mentioned TO
illustrate the fact that not many peo-
pie are hard up in and around Manson.
Still there's a bright democratic paper
published there and evidently prosper
