Ary party OF Mexico. through Dr,
vazquez Gomez. their representative
In Washington, issued a statement
yesterday outlining the attitude Of
OF the rcvolutionists toward peace
oyertures and reforms In the repub.
lie. The statement says:
''rhe revolutionary party. which is
constituted OF the best men OF the
party cannot accept a. 4 guarantee
only the promise Of a government
that has for more than 80 years been
promising. and has never fulfilled .
single ono OF ITS promises.
The revolutionistx think. and
with reason. that Immediately fol-
lowing the laying down OF arms.
many OF the leaders would die mys-
feriously. no reforms would be grant
ed. and the oppression would be
greater than ever.
For this reason, the revoIutionisis
viii not accept as q guarantee Mr..
Limatour. or any other individual.
because one man cannot and must
not serve as . guarantee for politi-
cal party nghtinK for the liberty OF q
people. and much Iess when such .
man has been. and Is. the right hand
Of the expressing government The
reyoIntionisss DO not desire the COM
plcte elimination Of the opposing
party. because every one knows that
Il is necessary 70 have opposite
parties In . nation IN order TO main
tain political equilibrium and right
cons administration.
The revolutionary party must be
represented In the government OF the
states. In the congress and IN the cab

present not q single member OF the
cabinet has ever made the least pro-
test In regard 20 the great political
abuses. the unjust imprisonments and
the numhcrlcss political assssslna-
tions.
For all these reasons the revolu-
tlonisss viii not lay down their arms
until the time when these reforms

-------
Of Raleigh's election of commission
form Of government--its defeat by
vote of $50 to 437--is giving rise to
some interesting claims as an AFTER
math. The repudiated bill for COM
mission government had the active
support of the present city admin
istration, and the outspoken cpposi-
tion of that element of the demo-
cratic party which was deprived OF
the administration of city affairs in
the sensational campaign of two
years ago. Now the leaders of this
sdethrohed" element of the party,
who led the active work against COM
mission government in the election
yesterday are insisting that the out
come of tho contest is a demonstrn-
tion of loss of control by the present
administration and spells" their
overthrow in the next city election
to be held In May. On the other
hand the administration leaders at
tribute the defeat OF the commission
bill to lack Of an organized effort
in its behalf at the polls and they in
sist that 1t in no way indicates any
turning of dominant party sentiment
from present administration policies
back to those defeated two years ago.
To say the least, however, the result
OF the commission government cleo
tion gives ? rev basis for figuring
city politics as the next municipal
election approaches. Only the Sec
ond city ward gave o majority for
commission government, this being
81. The vote by wards was: First.
70 for and 210 against; second. 163
for and 126 against; third, IS for
and 336 against: fourth, 81 for and
214 against.

SCALP WAS BADLY AFFECTED

II am more than gratified by the
successful results / obtained by the
use of the Cuticura Remedies. For
several years my scalp was very bad
ly affected with dandruff and scales.
dy scalp itched terribly at times and
my hair fell out. My coat collar would
be actually white with the dandruff
that had fallen from my head. My
profession being that of barber,
was particular about having my hair
In good condition, and was also In q
position to try many lotions, ETC.. for
the scalp. These had little or no eff
feet. had heard SO much about the
Cuticura Remedies that l resolved to
try them. shampooed my head
with Cuticura Soap twice q week and
after drying my head thoroughly, I
anointed parts of my scalp with Cuti-
cura Ointment. I was pleased from
the outset, and continued to keep up
this treatment. To think that only
three cakes of Cuticura Soap and one
and one-half boxes OF Cuticura Oint-
ment rid my head Of this annoying
trouble made me feel quite contented.
I have now got thick growth Of hair
and l am never troubled with any
dandruff or itching of the scalp. There
is no question but that the Cuticura
Remedies cured me. i frequently
recommend them to my customers.

the significant ceremony in London. Such
commemorative exercises when under The

cially impressive, one of the most notable
within the memory of official Washington be-
ing the memorial service in honor of the late
King Edward. which was held In Washington
at the same hour that the funeral was held In
England. Such services are attended by the

such commemorative events In Washington is

Church" or Church of the Presidents" which
is located directly opposite the White House.
Unfortunately the general public gets never a
peep at such ceremonials because the church
is tiny one, seating only few hundred per-

to be reserved for the diplomats and public
officials who by virtue of their positions are
entitled to attend.

of the aeroplane to warfare that serve
to bring out his notion that the day
Is not far OF when the expenditure
Of millions for dreadnaught battle
ships will be unknown.
The engineer believe many things
are possible with the aeroplane and
compares the aviator dropping de-
structive shells into the vulnerable
works of a modern battleship from
his aerial position to bringing down
ducks with little shotgun.
