DR.. G0MEzS OBSERVATION
He Indignantly Ridicules
the Notion that the Pros
perity of the Country As

pends Upon Any One Man

Washington. April 1O-Dr. Gomez.
the revolutionary agent, said tonight:
If the government of Mexico would
recognize the present eXigencies We
should have peace in twenty-fOur
hours. but before abandoning power
the men who constitute the govern
ment seem desirOus of sacrificing the
country Ii is absolutely absurd to
think that MeXicO's credit depends
upon one man, Diaz, Limantour, or any
one else. This idea has been con
stantly exploited by the government
to make people believe that should
they leave power the country would
fall into a miserable state.
Whether they want to or not.
these men composing the present
government Will have TO quit their
positions to make way for men of
this modern and progressive era and
then the country under a liberal
honorable government viii see its
credit in a much better condition
than today. For Mexico is rich and
only needs good government to make
its credit second TO none"

a little in the young mans grasp.
"Stand up, | tell you" cried the young

Don't give up. The house you seek can't
be much further along the road. Here,
