of ihe immigration question in

its publication in this

Superintendent ot Education
Martin makes an unpardonable
display of bad temper in his
criticism of Gov. Ansel for appointing
Ex-Gov. Sheppard h
member of the stale board of education
without consulting him
Inasmuch as the Superintendent, |

to the people for tho success
or failure of the public schools,
*,ve believe thai members of the
state board should be appointed
with his approval, but the failure
of the Governor to ascertain his
views in this case furnished no
occasion or excuse for Mr. Martin
to indulge in the violent, intemperate
language credited to liim
iii newspaper interviews.
