HAVANA, May 20.-General Mario Menocal was inaugurated second pres ident of the Cuban republic shortly afternoon today, succeeding Jose Miguel Gomez, who has been at the head of the government since the American control of the insular af- fairs came to an end on January 2S, 1909. The new president received his education in the United States and is regarded as a warm friend of the great American republic. In his pro- gram he promises to cultivate closer relations with the United States, and to seek agricultural development.
 The popularity of the new executive was attested by the enthusiastic dem- onstrations attending his induction in to office and the great crowds that witnessed all of the features of the inauguration program. The taking or the oath of office was preceded by parade of regular troops, civil or ganizations and the rural guard. The chief justice of the supreme court ad- ministered the oath of office to Presl- dencal on the balcony of the palace, | in view of the thousands of spectators who filled the Plaza de Armas. The retiring president and his successor were surrounded by the dignitaries Of state, the members of congress and | the diplomatic corps in brilliant uni forms. After the induction of the president, Senor Enrique Jose Varona was sworn in as vice president of the republic.
 General Menocal goes into power as the leader of the Conservative par ty and as a result of the decisive choice of the Cuban people in the cleo tions of last fall. The retiring admin l istration was controlled by the Llb- erals. In the new senate the Conser- vatives have a strength of thirteen members against an opposition of eleven. In the lower house there are now forty-three Liberals and forty eight who are listed as Conservatives. Five of the latter, however, are Lib- eral "mugwumps," and they will hold the balance of power.
 President Menocal is a man of high ideals and enjoys the respect of all classes of the Cuban people. He is civil engineer, an agriculturist and business expert, in addition to being soldier. His uncle, Anisette Men ocal was an American citizen, com mander and engineer in the United States navy. It was under his direc- ton that young Menocal was educated Since his thirteenth year most of his time has been spent in the United

 Yuma, Arizona. Dear MT. Elliott:
 Miss c. Louise Boehringer has asked me to write you my estimate of her. regarding her fitness to become coun- ty superintendent of schols of Yuma County
 I have known her for number or years and tried once to get her to take charge of the training school at Tempe when I was working for that institution. I had the pleasure or meeting her last fall at the Yuma coun- ty institute.
 There are few superintendents Tn Arizona who are Miss Boehringers equal in training, experience and gen. eral ability. Probably Miss Boehring- CT has had more training and expert ence than any superintendent in the state. I am sure that you can not go wrong in appointing her. Should general election be called, I am con yinced that Yuma county can do no better than give Miss Boehringer the most loyal support.
 With best wishes for the schools of Yuma county, I am
 Very truly yours, R. H. H. Blome. The above letter has been enclosed as part of my campaign literature.

She was supervisor of the training school of the Springfield (Missouri) State Normal school vShen was connected with that institution I have never met woman who knows elementary school work better than Miss Boehringer She is woman of unusual business ability and exceptional organization ability. | If you can secure woman Of such training and ability as Miss Boehring- CT, you should consider yourself very | fortunate indeed I am sure no better talent can be secured for county super intendent Yours truly, | GEORGE MELCHER, Chief Clerk of State Department of Missouri

An Open Letter to the
Telephone Using Public

Denver. Colo, Nov. 80, 1913
The Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company, in the
consideration of it's future de-
velopment. recognizes that its
highest interests as a public util-
ity lie in establishing the closest
and most friendly relationship
with the public generally. and
with it's patrons in particular;
therefore it is the purpose of The
Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph Company, through
this announcement, to inaugu-
rate what may be termed an adj
vertising educational series Of
articles, both in the newspapers
and in the form Of letters to its
customers. 1t is our hope that
this campaign may mark a new
era in the relation Of public util-
ity CORPORATIONS to the public
they serve. We want this edu-
cation to work both ways-that
the public may learn the truth
about us, and that we may learn
how the public regard US. and
we may fairly and efficiently
serve the public in other words,
what is just and right to us and
to the people. and to convince
the public that we will voluntari-
ly remedy any wrongs we are do
ing, if pointed out to US.
We shall show you our financial
affairs, frankly and freely. 1t
so happens that our financing has
been of such a nature that it is
easy for us to clearly show you
this side of our affairs. What
we mean by this is, that we have
absolutely no water in our ssock;
we ngYe no bonds, nor any pre-
red Sock, and no mortgage
Of any diine upon which to pay
fixed charges. We have more
invested in our plant at its
present replacement value than
our issue of common stock, and
we have no other stock issued
than the common stock. There
are no wheels within wheels, nor
companies within companies, to
absorb our profits. We finance
ourselves from year to wear by
selling our common stock to the
people, at not less than par, in
the states in which we operate,
When we tell you the story of
our financing, we vii. prove TO
you that there never has been
any fortunes, large or small,
made out of the manipulation of
our stock-in other words, no
high financing has ever been
done in connection with the
Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph Company, or its pre-
decessors. The stock has never
had any speculative value; it has
been, and is now. simply a safe
investment.
There is a great misunder-
standing upon the part of the
public as to this side Of our BUSH

Investment Company was a
scheme Of the Telephone Com
pany to further its purpose Of
monopolizing telephone com
pahies, etc.
The truth is tn t our company
has been met with a strong feel
ing in the State Of Montana
well-nigh universal that some
thing should be done to relieve
the citizens Of that state, of two
telephone systems. Public meet
ings have BEEN held, and votes
taken, that the telephones of
one or the other of the systems
should be thrown out. Resolu-
tions and letters have been SUBJ
mitted to US, and we have start
ed out to see what we could do
to relieve &he citizens of that
state of this burden.
We found that the Independent
interests operating there also
operated in Spokane, in the
State of Washington. and in
northern Idaho, and that the In
dependent interests doing bust.
ness in Montana could not be
bought, or sold, SO as to alone
cover the property in Montana,
but that the purchase must in
clude their property in the states
of Idaho and Washington. The
Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph Company does not
operate in either of these sections
and therefore is not responsible
for telephone conditions there,
nor does it wish to operate there,
but we felt we must meet the
situation in Montana and so, in
order to be in a position to either
buy or sell, from or to, the in
dependent interests in Montana,
there was formed this Corpora
ton Securities and Investment
Company, as a corporate COM
pany, to enter into negotiations
with the Independent interests
in M%Ontana, Northern Idaho and
Warrington, and then in the end
if tkat purpose was accomplish
ed, the Corporation Securities
and Investment Company should
sell t o The Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Com,
pany the portion of the Inde-
pendent plants located in Mon
tana, and sell the others the
portion of these Independent
plants existing in northern Idaho
and Washington.
We explain this so the public
may know that in the above
Foreword, where we say there
is no company within a company
or wheels within wheels, we
are speaking absolutely truly,
and also that this Company,
which was so freely advertised
by the articles in the newspapers
referred to. is absolutely a legit-
innate and proper company and
organized for the specific pur-
poses stated.
