No Reply to Note

Washington October 30.-Acting Secretary of State Lansing has not yet replied to the note from Foreign Min ister Fabela at Mexico City 1nuuiring In polite phrases when the American evacuation of Vera Cruz would be be- gun.
 Fhe prevailing belief is that the American government will reiterate it's request for more specific guarantees that Mexicens who served during the American occupation be protected and that taxes and customs collected by American officials be not reimposed
 General Aguilar constitutfonalist commander of the state of Vera Cruz. already has issued proclamation siv- Ing the guarantees but it Is nderstood only similar action by the central gov eminent in Mexico City will satisfy American officials
 As yet the Aguas Calentes national convention has not acted on the resig- nation of General Carranza Much time has been taken Up in formulating platform by combination of the plan Of Guadalupe and the plan of Ayala- The latter first was put forth in No- vember. 1911. after conference called by General Zapata with his chiefs. Many of its articles, aimed at the Ma dero administration, have been omitted. The article referring to the selection of provisional President has not yet been discussed, but the. names of Gen era1 Zapata and Gen. Gro Pascual orozco. contained in the original plan Of Ayala, have. it is understood. been eliminated
 Articles already accepted provide for immediate confiscation of the holdings of big land owners who opposed the revolution. the breaking down of mon opolies wrongfully given on natural resources. and indem nification to land holders who rightfully hold large tates 30 they can be distributed among the Mexican masses.

ZINE. SENATOR GRAX ATT.

After almost daily pleading for a week or
more that the committee on privileges and cleo,
lions be discharged from further consideration
of his primary bill Senator Gravatt yesterday
received assurances that the bill would be re-
ported to the senate today with amendments, and
the recommendation that it he adopted. This
+ more than We expected we thought that
The measure had been laid away with the seven
Hundred sleepers which occupy the achives of
senatorial committees and are never heard of
again
Time after time we have sympathized with
Senator Gravatt as he made his fight On last
Saturday he made final plea and was told
that his measure WAS mot the only pebble on
the beach and that was all. We thought then
that the cause was rather wall lost The action
of the committee in amending the bill and
recommending IFS passage is therefore hailed
with pleasure.
One OF the chief ana most welcome features
Of Senator Crayatts measure is that In which
he provides for the registration of party aallia-
ton. This will entirely preclude Republicans,
progressive and independents from voting in
Democratic primaries.
Senator Gravatt has made other changes in
the primary Law In his BILL many OF which are
well worth the consideration OF the legislature
The measure Is not altogether satisfactory 10
mary people but II is at least step in the right
direction, and the action Of the committee in
at last reporting it back to the senate. where its
defects can be debated. is commendable

CLEANING SNOW.

WHAT would old Peter Stuyvesant have thought
If some one had told him that the time would
come when II would cost New York city $3.50. 600
TO clean the snow off its streets? We rather

fae rage, but the statement nevertheless is
fact The recent blizzard. according to a stsue.

amount.
Although the cost Of cleaning off the snow

THE BLACKSTONE FIRE.

We extend our sympathy not only to Presi-
dent Lyon and his associates in the great blow
that has come to them, but also to the enter
pris'ng town 70 Blackstone In the public mis-
fortune of the destruction by fire Of the Black
stone academy. 1t is gratifying to learn that
both the faculty and students were able to es-
cape with their lives under such adverse con.
ditions. That number injured increases
the deep sympathy which the public feels for
the institution and the town We are glad
to that prompt steps are being taken for the
continuance Of the school, and we hope to see
1t before very long in larger and better home
The Blackstone Academy is one Of the States
youngest educational institutions, but it has
made an excellent record 1t was formerly
known as the Hoge Academy, having been named
after the lamented and cherished Rev DR. Moses

sorrow which the destruction of the building
will cause in this city.

OF Vital Importance.

Editor Virginian:
Sir,--Mt. Land, of Nottoway, has acted wisely
in offering q substitute for the original bill
on the subject, the Kenyon bill on the "Abate-
ment of Houses of Il-fame."
The Kenyon bill has been adopted by the
legislatures of several States, and finally by the
congress of the United States, and has been
signed by President Wilson, and is the
law for the District of Columbia. The bill, as
offered by Mr.. Land. omits the eighth section
of the Kenyon bill. which involves the question
of "a confiscatory tax in addition to injunc-
ton. The bill offered by Mr.. Land is print
ed in full below. Read it carefully. This is
indeed matter Of vital Importance to sons
and daughters, and grandchildren yet I'M
born. The writer hopes to get time to make
some further comments upon this bill.
Let all eur people who love God and home
and country, write to their representatives in the
legislature, and ask for the passage of this bill
at their session. If you have not time to write,

DIR. CHRISTIAN ARRAIGNING IL
QUOR, TELLS HIS CONGRE-
CATION THEIR DUTY.

Rev DIR. Asbury Christian arraign-
ed the liquor traffic Sunday night be-
fore a great congregation at Union
Station Methodist church. and sounded
la tocsin of warfare for Christian citi-
zenship. Maintaining that the traf-
fic was lawless, a menace to popular
government and decent politics, he
boldly proclaimed the duty Of Chris
tian men to vote for prohibition. He
hoped, he said, there was not men,
Der Of his charge who had any idea of
voting otherwise, but, II there we're
any. he implored them to get right
or resign their church membership.
He had heard Of threats and i'm
timidation Of employers In the inter-
est of the wet side Of the fight and he
served notice that Virginia people will
not submit to any such tactics, and for
one he promised to strenuously advo-
cate any firm that he knew to be gull
ty of intimidating their employees.
He advised all his hearers to pat
ronize their friends and not give their
money to intimidators. Also to sup
port those newspapers that espoused
the cause of prohibition. He paid his
respects to couple of Richmond pa
pers which have always stood for the
liquor traffic. His arraignment OF the
wet press was vigorous and he ac-
knowledged having been ashamed Of
Richmond when her representatives
in the legislature we're so pronounced
against the drys.
He defended the enabling act and
said that the wine and beer clauses
es will be rescinded by the next leg
islature and Virginia would be a dry
State.
DR.. Christians mastery argument
consumed an hour, and held the rapt
attention of his great congregation,
which was about equally divided be-
tween men and women. He did not
use the soft pedal" once and fred
no blank cartridges.

tian will consider THE Liquor TrAf-
fic and Society"
