THE PEOPLE FAVOR IT.

Perhaps no positive evidenc"
Of the condition Of public sentiment
In regard 10 the position taken by the
territory In the matter OF county school
superintendent could be had than the
unanimity with which the press Of the
territory advocates the enactment OF
the laws recommended by the educat-
ors which, II adopted. would remove
the important office from politics and
limit the position TO qualified school
men. The press generally reflects
pretty accurately the sentiments Of
the people.
We have not observed the editorial
u%tterances of all the newspapers for
the last few weeks. but among those
who advocate the enforcement OF the
office Of superintendent from politics
are THE Silver City Enterprise" The
Deming Headlight" The Demine
Graphic" The Socorro Chiettain.'
The Roswell Record THE Roswell
Register" The Ration Range" THE
Hagerman Messenger" The Clayton
Enterprise" The Carlsbad Argus,
The Mckinley County Republican"
The Otero County News" The Ala.
mogordo Advertiser" The Rio Grande
Republican" and The Las Cruces Cit.
izen." There are doubtless others.
Only n paper, as far as We know,
has raise dany question as to the
wisdom Of the reform demanded and
this paper opines that unless It is
important that in order for a man II
be a good jockey and judge of horse
flesh. he should be part horse. 1t might
not be necessary for a man TO be a
teacher before he could be a good sup
erintendent.
The paper In question. doubtless,
however. intends that such a startling
comparison shall be a strong argument
for the placing of qualified men In the
office OF superintendent since such a
reduction ad absurdum is about as
plausible an argument as can be ad-
duced In support of a condition that
permits the most important school OF

JUST LIKE LAS VEGAS.

A striking example Of the universal
desire on the part OF those living out
side New York 10 regard themselves
as citizens of, the greater city" was
aptly illustrated last week by tao ban.
Quets which We're held in Manhattan,
The first. which occurred on Thursday
evening, was that of the bar associa-
ton OF one OF the largest cities In New
Jersey. while the second. which took
place last Saturday night. was under
the auspices Of the Hudson county bar
association. In each instance those
present appear 20 consider the fact
that the banquet was held in the me-
tropolis as a natural and logical fea-
ture OF the affair. This Is significant
as indicating ~conclusively that the real
city Is not bounded by state or county
lines, but actually extends over much
more territory than Is allotted to II on
the map.-Brookiyn Standard Union.

In the game with Norwich played on
Tuesday last in Norwich "Cosey" made
his first error OF the season the ball
taking an ugly jump just as he reach

best fielding pitcher in the league as he
has had 81 assists this season without
a slip up.

that Dolan will be i'm one of the big
