ROASTING KIEHLE.

There is loud talk of superseding
State Supt. Kiehle with new man, and
If such should be the case, Supt. K. w.
Buell., of this county. would fill the bill
admirably. and would command
strong support Journal.
The state superintendent, 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. Il. Ii. Kirk fill
that office during the next two years
Martin County Democrat.
Supt. Kiehle cannot have a 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 of such
resolution by the teachers, many of
whom, with many Of the county super
lntendentS, have been and are his SUI
perServiceable aids in state teachers
conventions; and for this reason, If not
for more welghty reasons, his past term
as state superintendent should he his
last. Hutchinson Democrat.
Supt. Kiehie ought not to be reap
pointed state superintendent of educa
ton. He has had long pull at the pub
lie pap and should be retired. His con-
nection with the book combine ls
enough TO end his usefulness in the pO-
sitlon he occupies Spring Valley vi

The county superintendent at st.
Paul refused to indOrse Kiehle for state
superintendent. the general association
indorSed him after hard fight. The

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 people 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 Kiehie 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, ii the
politicians cannot. BeggarS for office
should be turned down without cere-
mony.-AuStin Transcript.
When a 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
QnG Kiphla hoe hppn in thnrl tOn
long for the good of the cause of educa-
ton, and should be replaced by a
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 GUST Kiehle. Falls
journal.
The battle that has been going on be
tween State Superintendent hiehle and
his OppOSers. as to whether he is to sue
coed himself as state superintendent of
schools, has not been settled. nor can it
be until the governor has made his APP
pointment and it has been confirmed by
the senate. But that there is a wide
spread feeling against his reappOint-
ment is not secret. While he and his
allies succeeded i'll 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 uperintendeDtS will return
to their homes to use their influence to
induce the senate not to confirm Mr..
Kiehle. if he receives the appointment.
