Having driven sin and sinners from out

md the great battle is now on How
ong 1t will last and how fierce 1t will
We depends upon the fighting qualities OF

Saves Governor Some Grief.
The fact that State Superintendent Bisho
will not resign>to accept the place offere
him in Iowa, but will serve out his teri
even il he does accept has saved GovernC
h Shallenberger lots of grief In fact befoI
1t became public that Mr.. Bishop was eve
considering leaving the state, application
had been filed with the governor for II
place. Being such stickler for on-part
san school boards and judges the governC
may have had trouble in selecting NJ
Bishops successor, especially as the
would have been quite boom started f
]. w. Crabtree formerly OF the Peru no
man who Is republican.
Governor Shallenberger said today
had given no thought to the appointme
Of a successor to President Childs Of Il
state Normal board. Having denounc
the board on various occasions becau
some of ATS members are republicans, al
even going so far as to attempt to reno
the entire board in order to get a no
partisan democratic board, it is possll
that the governor will reappoint NJ. Chile
. republican. but II is not probable
NJ. Graham, nonpartiSan democrat
South Omaha, and secretary of the defuu
nonpartisap democratic board, at this til
seems 20 be- the favorite OF the prophe
but the Governor has given no public
dcation that he will appoint the Sou
omaha man. lie might even appoint
w. Crabtree and again he might not.
