The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1902-06-17

DallOt without petition. The demo-
Gratis have selected 81. C. Taylor, a
young man and attorney at Bloom
field, for temporary chairman of
their convention. The republicans
have selected Congressman Walter I.
Smith, of Council Bluffs. The prohi-
bition committee will select a chair
man when the date for their conven-
ton has been in May. This year it
years the date of this party's owen
ton has been in May. This year it
will probably be after the republican
convention-and before the democratic.
After a College.
The trustees of Iowa college at Grin
nell have instructed President Bradley
of that institution to correspond with
the board of trustees in control of An
dover Theological seminary located
in New England, with a view to it's re-
moval to this state and it's afiliation
with the Congregations institution at
Grinnell. The trustees of Andover coll
lege have found that the location Of
the seminary is ~unfavorable and thatit
does not now have the opportunity to
expand which it would have if located
nearer the west, the center of popula-
ton. 1t has been given out that the
trustees of the school are looking for
a location in the central west. The in
stitution is we'll endowed and has a
full corps of able instructors. It's
proximity to the large eastern univer-
stiles has detracted from its position
and influence. Having determined to
move it they have looked to the west
for a location and the trustees Of
Iowa college have been led to believe
that they stand a good chance. of Sc
curing the seminary. Grinnell, for so
years the seat of Iowa college. is a
model city for a school and the atmos-
phere is such that the Theological SEM
mary would find a real home there.
Looking to Iowa.
The state of New York is now look
ing to the state of Iowa for pointers
respecting the management of state
institutions. Gov. Odell has written to
the Iowa board to cur information
from it with reference to the methods
used by it in the management of this
states Institutions. The impression
has prevailed that the Iowa law was
copied after the New York law, and
the fact that New York now looks to
Iowa is a matter for state pride. The
Iowa system was taken in part from
the New York system, it is. true, but
there are a number of Improvements
and changes. In New York there are
several boards for the different kinds
of institutions. In Iowa there is a sin
gle board for them all, except the ed
ucational institutions, which no n be-
lieves should be placed under a board
of control. 1t is understood that Gov.
Odell, of New York, wishes to reduce
the number of boards in that state,
if possible, and, while the Iowa board
does not give out information con-
corning his correspondence with it, it
is belived that he seeks information
on which to base a movement toward
the elimination of superfuous boards
in New York.
Fish Licenses.
State Fish Commissioner and Game
Warden George A. Lincoln has had
printed licenses made, authorizing the
holder to seine for soft fish. They will
be issued to persons who make appli-
cations for them and these persons,
accompanied by a deputy fish commits
sioner, will be permitted to take carp,
gar and. other soft fish from thewaters
returning to the water from their nets
all game fish which may be taken in
the seining. 1t is to insure this latter
precaution hat the fish commissioner
will send deputies with the men who
hold SEEMING privileges. 1t is,probable
that gangs of men will be organized to
seine for the undesirable fish for the
purpose of cleaning out the public wa
tiers of the state in order to give the
game fish a chance. The theory is that
the soft fish feed upon the spawn Of
the game fish.
