r 1t was an ingenious publicity move.
worthy of theatrical press agent, and
it succeeded beyond the promoters
fondest expectations-too well, In fact,
for 1t drove the trust In desperation to
an alliance with the S. R and n.
The day set for the demonstra ton
came: the citizens Of Cortez boldly
marched into Beaver canyon to take
possession of the old Heidlemann
workings. but it appeared that they
had reckoned prematurely. A handful
OF grim faced trust employees warned
them back; there was q rush, some
rough work on the part of the aggres-
sors, and then the guards brought their
weapons into play. The result afford
ed Gordon far more sensational mate
rial than he had hoped for; one citizen
was killed and FIVE others were badly
wounded. Cortez, dazed and horror
stricken, arose In her wrath and de-
scended upon the "assassins;" lynch
ings were planned and mobs threat
ened the local Jail, until soldiers were
hurried thither and martial law was
declared.
OF course the wires were burdened
with the accounts; the reading public of
the States awoke to the fact that bit
ter strife was wagtng in the north be-
tween honest miners and the soulless
Heid1emann syndicate. Gorion's pre-
vi0usly written and carefully colored
stories of the clash were printed far
and wide. Editorials brothed indigna-
ton at such lawlessness and pointed to
the Cortez Home railway as a COM
mendable effort to destroy the Heidle-
mann throttle hold upon the northland.
Stock subscriptions came in a deluge
which fairly engulfed Gordon's Seattle
office force.
During this brief white hot campaign
the promoter had been actuated as
much by his senseless hatred of O'Neil
as by lust of glory and gain, and it
was with no little satisfaction that he
returned to Alaska conscious of having
dealt a telling blow to his enemy. He

WILSON'S SPEECH. President
Wilson didn't bubble, about the g.
hour day. He didn't apologize for
forcing it as an emergency measure.
He frankly said the 8-hOUr day was
right, was not arbitrable and that the
judgment of society is a verdict in
favor of it. Moreover, he told both
the railway managers and the broth
eThOOd chiefs at the very outset that
the 8-hOUT day ought to be conceded,
and proceeded on that basis. The
men didn't force it. Wilson did, and
accepts the responsibility. What he
had to say concerning compulsory
arbitration won't give much comfort
to those who favor it-for the pres
ident said: America is never going
to say to any individual: You must
work whether you want to or not
but it is privileged to say to an or

ALL ROUND TOWN!

Newsies in Chicago are peeved at
the action of the Daily News. That
paper has inaugurated a plan of
making newsies pay for weeks
News in advance.
This means" said. one newsie,
that if a rainy day comes in we
have a slow sale of papers and as a
result get stuck on a good many
News. That isn't considered fair
play to the newsboys. Why should
we be the losers when rain hurts
sales. The fair way is to pay for the
papers you sell. This idea of being
forced to eat papers doesn't appeal
to newsies."
The art of making newsies "eat"
papers has long been played by the
newspapers. Gun play, petty scraps
and smuggling matches have resulted
at various times. 1t is a nuisance
and should be stopped. All the new
sizes want is fair play. More power
to the newsies in their fight for it.

and the reason for It is the plain
fact that there is not enough room for

Mr.. Mersfelder said that the city Of
Roswell is a hustling place, improving
every year and everyone seems to be
doing well.
Discussing the rural districts in
Chayes county, Mr.. Mersfelder said
he had the pleasure OF visiting sew
eral rural schools with County School
superintendent G. G. Hill and that he
found these schools up-to-date and we'll
equipped. There are modern buildings
and modern methods. There are con

SECOND GRADE TEACHER MAY BE
BETTER INSTRUCTOR THAN FIRST,
GRADE, SAYS ATTORNEY GENERAL
School Directors Not Required to Spend All
Money Called For In Estimates, Says Clancy;
School Warrant Questions Also Treated By
Legal Officer

1T cannot be said with certainty
that every first grade teacher is bet
ter qualified to give instruction than
every second grade teacher"
This is what Attorney General
Frank W. Clancy wrote State School
superintendent Alvan N. White today
in an opinion regarding the question
OF school directors employing q sec
ond grade teacher, despite the fact
that estimates had been made for the
employment Of a first grader.
Mr.. Clancy cites the ruling of GER
tain county school superintendent
against the employment of second
graders under these conditions and
then says:
This does not seem TO me 10 be a
reasonable position to take. There is
no obligation resting upon the school
directors or school officers to spend
all Of the money for which estimates
have been made. If the whole Of, Il
is not spent It viii not be lost but re-
mains on hand for the future. In ad-
dition to this, Section / Of Chapter 81
of the laws Of 1915, to which you cab
attention, seems to be conclusive, as,
among other things, It declares that
Holders of elementary certificates
shall be entitled to teach in any school
district, independent district, incor-
porated town, city or village Of the

ers is given to the school directors
and | do not find, in the enumeration
of the powers and duties of the county
superintendent in Section 8434 of tn
Qualification, any arbitrary power to
interfere with school directors. The
nearest approach to 1t is that he
enforce compliance with the
school laws, but | cannot discover
that there is any violation of the
school laws in employing a second
grade teacher instead Of a first grade
teacher, nor can it be said with GER
that every first grade teacher
is better qualified to give instruction
than every second grade teacher. 1t
well be the case that a very SUI
instructor could not pass the
examination to obtain a first grade
certificate and yet be of more value to
school than many Of the first grade
teachers"
El Nuevo mexicano., 1916-11-23

raj Frank w. Clancy in an opinion
given to State School Superintendent
Alvan N. White today for the informa-
tion of the state educational depart
ment and the county treasurers. Mr..
Clancy's letter on these two subjects
is self-explanatory. 1t is as follows:
Il have received your letter OF eve
date herewith, In which you ask my
opinion on two questions, the first of
which is as to the refusal of q county
treasurer to pay any school warrant
for the superintendent and principal
of the county high school where fif-
teen teachers are employed, for more
than $50 monthly salary, for the rea,
son that the teacher does not hold a
higher form of certificate than the
state elementary first grade, or even
If he did have q higher form OF certif-
icate, his salary is limited to $50 per
month byAthe provisions to be found
in Section 5 of Chapter 70 of the DAVIS
of 1915. 6
: 'frhefe isano such limitation to be
found In thatisection. The limitations
therein fixed are applicable only to
rural school districts where no graded
school Is maintained and it is not a
limitation upon the amount of salary,
but for all expenses, including the. sal.
airy, except the construction, purchase,
lease, repair or equipment of school
houses, and the Limitation Is as to
expenses for each school room. Amy
current expenses aside from those
which are expected. as above stated,
must come out of the amounts limited
so that those amounts cannot be all
devoted to salary If there are any 9TH
er expenses. A county high school.
whether located in a rural district or
in a municipal district, is certainly a
graded school and as to graded
schools, | agree with you that there is
no limit of expenditures except what
can be found in the estimate Of funds
necessary which must be finally ap-
proved by the board of county COM
missioners.
Your other question is as to wheth-
er the holder OF a third grade certifi-
cate can draw IN excess OF $50 per
month as salary when employed in a
school Of four or more rooms. As
above indicated, the $50 limit Is not
a limit upon the salary, but a limit
upon the expenses per room and that
limit is $50 per month per school room
in which a teacher holding q third
grade certificate Is employed. / see
no reason why a teacher may not be
paid more than $50 in such a school
with four or more rooms, provided
that the expenses for each OF the four
rooms. including salary. ha KENT down
