ROASTING KIEHLE.

There is loud talk of superseding
State Supt. Kiehle with new man, and
if such should be the case, Supt. X. w.
Buell., of this county, would fill the bill
admirably. and would command
strong upport.-Lanesboro Journal.
The state superintendents, in session
at st. Paul last week. again endorsed
ID. L.. kiehle for state superintendent.
Will Gov. Nelson appoint this man who
for twelve long years has hung like a
barnacle OH the Republican state politi-
cal ship? The people of the state would
far prefer to see Prof. L. Ii. Kirk fill
that office during the next two years
Martin County Democrat.
Supt. Kiehle cannot have very lofty
sense Of the relation of his Office to all
the people of the state, or he would not
permit the passage or discussion ofsuch
a resolution by the teachers. many Of
whom, with many Of the county super
intendentS, have been and are his Su-
perserviceable aids i'll state teachers
conventions; and for this reason, if not
for more weighty reasons, his past term
as state superintendent should be his
Hutchinson Democrat.
Supt. Kieh1e ought not to be reap
pointed state superintendent of educa
lie pap and should be retired. His con-
nection with the book combine ls
enough to end his usefulness in the p0-
sltion he occupies Spring Valley vi
dette.
The county superintendent at st.
Paul refused to indOrSe Kiehle for state
superintendent. the general association
indorsed him after hard fight. The
resolution was ''dragOoned" through
the meeting by the normal school ring.
The chances are exceedingly remote
that he will be appointed by Gov. Mel
son.-Spring Valley Sun.
The neople of Minnesota are more
thoroughly disgusted than ever with
Supt. Kiehle since his course at the
meeting of the educational association
at st. Paul last week. There was de-
termined opposition to his endorsement,
but Kiehle and his tools, President
Shepard of Winona. and others, per-
sisted in reducing the association 10 the
level 'of a Wrangling political caucus.
kiehle thinks because he has collar
upon leading educators of the state he
can perpetuate his reign Indefinitely. "
If Klehle has life lease OF this
Office under our present system, the
people of the state will demand OF the
present legislature that the office be
made an elective one at once. The peo-
pie will quickly get rid of kiehle, it the
politicians cannot. Beggars for office
should be turned down without cere-
mony.-Austin Transcript.
When man intimates, as State Super
intendent Kiehle has apparently done,
that he has life lease of the Office. it is
high time he be invited to step down
tAh Ia. hna St,t IN
long for the good Of the cause of educa-
younger man. He was last week in
dorsed by large gathering of teachers
simply through fear OF HIM. Let us have
change. If Kirk suits the governor,
all right, but oust Kiehle.-Granite Falls
Journal.
The battle that has been going on be
tween State Superintendent kiehle and
his OppOserS. as to whether he is to sue
ceed himself as state superintendent OF
schools, has not been settled. nor can it
be until the governor has made his ap-
pointment and it has been confirmed by
the senate. But that there is wide
spread feeling against his reappOint-
ment is not secret. While he and his
allies succeeded in securing formal
Endorsement of the state association,
still it is not looked upon as victory,
because his support and the speeches
made IN his behalf were wholly by the
normal school presidents. 1t is fact
that many of the teachers who were not
in favor of the Endorsement OF Mr..
Kiehle felt that to oppose the scheme
was to bring down vengeance upon
their own heads. it is said that the city
and county uperintendents will return
to their homes to use their influence to
induce the senate not to confirm MI.
Kiehle. if he receives the appointment.
