The joint resolution providing for
an amendment to the state constitu-
ton removing the limitation placed
upon the tenure Of Office Of county
superintendents, was defeated in the
committee rooms. The committees
action was proper. The superinten-
dent OF this county believes and, has
openly advocated many times. that
this office should be taken out Of pol
itics entirely; and if this were done,
to let the superintendent hold Office
so long as the public was satisfied
with their services. AS it is now, it
is strictly a political Office. The sup
erintendent sees no just reason for
Partially in county Offices. Let its
political incumbent satisfy himself
with his limited tenure the same as
other political a~spirants who struggle
for the other county offices are COM
PEELED to do.
