course. and he thinks he will. he
will be reelected president in
spite of his determination not to
be again a candidate. and further
that he will support him. The
machine in this state must fight
the president at the bidding of
the corporations. What posi-

ABERDEEN, S. D., MARCH 8, 1905
A Subject of Barter

The pernicious effect ofhaving
the state educational institutions
in the control of politicians, of
making them mere pawns on the
political chessDoard. has had a
very palpable Illustration to the
people of Aberdeen in the re-
moval of President Chas. F.
Koehler of the Northern Nor
NAL and Industrial school.
Here was one of the foremost
educators of the state of Mime
sofa brought here to build up a
new state school, to give to the
launching of it the benefit of his
ripe experience as a teacher.
He had successfully measured
up to the high standard fixed by
Congressman McCleary, whom
he succeeded both as head of the
Mankato state normal and state
institute conductor. He resign
ed these positions which he held
securely by an indefinite lease at
salary that was very nearly the
same as the one offered in the
new field.
Now. when President Koehler
has just completed his new
house, and had every reason to
look forward with pleasure to
many years of residence in this
city and of good service to the
cause of education in this state,
he is suddenly notified with
brutal abruptness that he would
not be elected for another year,
by the same board that had lured
him from a state loath to spare
him.
No valid complaint had been
lodged against Mr.. Koehler. He
was very popular among the stu
dents and faculty and among the
citizens of Aberdeen generally.
His removal is very generally re-
sented as an outrage. The uni
versal opinion seems to be that
political exigency demanded the
change. Possibly Mr.. Nash
will be expected to bring Lin
coin county into the machine
column when the ring comes to
make a fight for continued exist
ence a year from next fall.
Does any one think for a minute
that the machine gang would
scruple to barter the welfare of
the schools, the dearestrights of
the people, for insurance against
the wrath of an outraged people
bent on their destruction?
