Perhaps some of my friends may havo thought to please me by mon- tlonln nic ln conntlon wlth the .mission, or It may be that the story had Its origin In n Joking remark I mado after the sena torial fight had ended, that I guessed I would now aak (or the Mexican mission. If you will remember, the tale was tbld about that the mission had been offered to various senatorial candidates, and my re mark was n Jesting comment upon this. Add to this that I often visit Mexico and ynu havo the whole foundation of thu story. "The fact Is, I have never asked nor asked anyone else to ask the president for any place for me. I am not a can didate for the Mexican mission nor for any other appointive or elective place. Tho Idea seems to prevail with some peo ple that If a man Is once a candidate for oinco he Is Infected with the political Itch to tho degn.o that ho Is ever after a can didate for place If ho Is not ln office.

"It Is ovtdent that It was tho Intention nf th legislature to limit the salary of the county superintendent to tho minimum compensation. Noxt to the teacher, the life nf th rural school Is the county supcrln tendent. Facts show that In nine cases out of ten, whero thero is real progress, you will find nn earnest, wideawake, up to-dato county superintendent. In such cases It would seem the part of economy well ns Justlco and wisdom, .not, to, limit his salary to tho minimum fixed by the statute, but to fix It according to the amount and tho efficiency ot his work am. glad to know that many county boards aro liberal In 'the Balary allowed tho county superintendent and ln tho apprpprlatlon for the Institute. Custer county, some times spoken of as 'away out In tho sand hills,' pays Uh superintendent $1,600. Some of the nep diem counties pay as high as $300 per year to the county superintendent And Dundy county, In tho extreme south w-est corner of tho state, appropriates $lp0 for Institute each yenr. 1 hope you will not causo tho school interests of your county to suffer by n parsimonious cxpondl turo of money for tho salary of tho county superintendent and the appropriation for tho Institute."
