THAT INSTITUTE BOARD.

The county court AT its last meet
ing appointed Profs Ira Ludwick and
Ed. BORON members OF the Institute
Board. School Commissioner Ray
bourn is eX-officiO member OF the
board. The membership stands TWO
democrats aud one republican. The
law permits the commissioner TO
recommend. but does not make it
mandatory upon the court to APP
point his selection. In fact the
supreme court has passed upon that
point. and decided that the court Is
the appointing power and must be
responsible for its appOintees. No
one knows this better than Prof.
Raybourn. The Bates County Re-
publican, in its usual coarse and vul-
gar manner abuses the court for not
appointing a republican board. as
nominate ted by Prof Raybourn There
has never been a time in the history
OF the Bates county teachers insti-
tute, that republicans were not well
represented on the board OF instruc-
tors, and in most cases a majority OF
the instructors We're republicans, ap-
pointed by a democratic board. Last
year the county court adopted Com
missioner Raybourn : recommended
tiOns and appointed one republican
and one democrat, thereby making
the board republican. We have it
on what We consider reliable author
ity that a petition was presented to
the republican member demonstrate
ing against the appointment of "A
democrat on the board of instructors. |
This member. had already pledged |
himself and refused to be influenced
in that matter.
Commissioner Rayhourn was inter |
viewd before the court made the APP
pOintment, and indicated that Prof. |
Allison, of Butler, Prof. Deerwester. |
of Warrensburg and the commission
er OF st. Clair county, all republicans |
had been decided upon for instructors
The school commissioner of this coun-
ty was elected as partisan. and the
attitude of the Republican but shows
its chagrin at not being permitted to
run the office as a political machine.
