That Unsigned Hand-Bill.

To the Editor of The Times
Sir,-Tho second unsigne ID hand-bill pro-
duCed during the pending tight for the
city's telephone franchise and directed
against the standard Telephone Company.
aIgreared on the streets this afternoon,
containing personal illusions 10 the I'M
dersigned and II is so cowardly. 80 abso-
lutely false and misleading. and so sour
rilous that IL would have received no at
tentiOn from us. except for the fact that
the Mason Telephone Company OF Rich
mond, and certain eminently respectable
and prominent citizens of this community
had vigorously sided against the Standard
Company in the contest for the franchise.
Because of this fact. we thought II pro-
per to Immediately seek Mr. r. A. Catlin.
the president OF the Mason Telephone
Company. who promptly disclaimed any
responsibility for. or knowledge OF, the
outrageous publication referred 10.
We did not believe, nor do we now be-
leve that the gentlemen connected with
the Mason Company would in any way
countenance such disroputable methods.
The statements and suggestions In the
anonymous hand-bll are cowardly, mali
cious falsehoods. TO convince the. most
thoughtless that this is SO. we need only
refer to the reputable gentlemen Of our
local Board of Directors and call atten-
ton to the names OF Senator John L.

The Fault With the Legislature.

The recent opinion of Solicitor General
Victory upon this distribution of
public school funds will cause much un-
easiness In the minds of those who are
contem plating the subdivision of old into
new school districts. The law as it
stands distinctly provides that "no dis
trict shall be entitled to receive any por-
ton of the common school fund in which
common school has not been taught at
least three months during the twelve
months preceding" If this section is
construed to the letter, it will act as
penalty, by which new districts, however,
necessary to the purposes of the people,
will be deprived of that portion
of the public funds whioh fell to
them when incorporated in their
former limits. Such was not the
purpose of this provision, which
was rather intended to force the people
of the outlying country districts to main
tain the schools in operation by special
district levies, whenever the general coun-
ty levy did not prove sufficient. How
ever, no school superintendent could be
condemned for putting the most liberal
construction upon this section by con-
tending that the benefits of the school
period in the old descended to the new
district. Undoubtedly this particular
provision has led to much confusion and
should be 40 amended and amplifed by
our next legislature that the powers of
the school superintendent in the distribu-
tion of funds would be clearly defined and
at the same time the new school districts
would be properly Observation-Disclosures

PRESS COMMENT.
New Mexico and Denver.

Discoveries of mineral in a country
which is or should be tributary to Den
yer is of interest to the people of Colo
RADIO, and so discoveries of that kind in
New Mexico and Arizona attract atten-
tion here. From time to time informa-
ton is published in the Republican to the
effect that mineral has been found in
those territories, but unfortunately there
is so little communication between New
Mexico and Arizona on the one hand and
Colorado on the other that the full ad-
vantage of such reports is not realized.
The people living in those territories
should turn their attention more to Den
yer. They should recognize that this
city is their natural capital, and that as
the great mining center of the west it
should be strengthened in every way that
may lie in the power of people residing
in the Rocky mountains. Thus they
would awaken a local interest here in the
mineral resources of their sections. They
should visit Denver as frequently as pos
sible as they should direct their trade to
this place whenever opportunity pre-
sents. The hope Of both New Mexico and
Arizona is in the development of their
mineral resources, and the more closely
they tie themselves to Denver the more
speedily will this hope be realized Den
yer Republican.

HON. ". S. HOPEWELL.

The announcement is made that the
executive committee of the Democratic
free coinage propaganda has designated
Mr.. W. s. Hopewell as the national COM
mitteeman from New Mexico. The choice
is an excellent one. Mr.. Hopewell is a
true Democrat and an earnest and con-
sistent advocate of the free coinage prin-
ciple. The New MEXICAN tenders its
congratulations both to Mr.. Hopewell
and to the Democratic executive commit
tee that has seen fit to confer upon him
unsolicited this honor. If it makes SINH
lar worthy selections of Democrats in all
the other states and territories there will
be no question about the friends of silver
controlling the next national Democratic
convention,
