 The Democratic suffrage plank was declared to condemn the women of the south and the majority of the women of the country without a hearing and was characterized as a studied insult to the women of the south" implying a desire to read out of the party the south because it opposed ratification
 Governor Cox was enrreated to ex- tend to southern women seeking neither votes nor offices" fair consid- eration before casting his lot with a small group of pickets whose chosen symbol is a badge representing theil jail terms for prosecuting a Demo cratic president.

Villa Gets Financial Guarantees
 Under the terms, advices state. Villa is to be allowed a years army pay for his officers and be permitted to go with them to Torreon under personal escort where this condition will be effected. The band numbers about 1900, it is said. At Torreon the men are to ba mustered out" of Villas service and each allotted tract of land. Villa, too. it is said. has been given financial guarantees.
 General Martinez, communicating 10 Eiliano Tames, Mexican consul at Eagle Pass, termed Villas acceptance as ian act of patriotism" He has binas district is being resumed and that, he has given orders for running of all trains on schedules
 Details of the negotiations with Villa say that the conference for sur render, conducted for the de la Huerta government by General Martinez. lasted all night, ending at Il o'clock this morning.
 Rumors of slaughter of Sabinas po- licemen and mutilation of bodies of many women there yet lack confirma- | ton.

 May Hurry Recognition ] wASHINGTON, July 2S.-Recogni- tion of the new Mexican government by the United States. in the opinion of i Mexican observers here. has been brought nearer by Francisco Villas surrender.
 Villas status, as far as the 1 United States is concerned, how l ever, is not changed greatly. He 1 is under indictment charged with the killing of soldiers and civilians
 at Columbus, N. M., in 1916, and
 the placing of himself under the laws of his own country may mean his extradition will be asked by
 the United States.
 In such contingency the Mexican government might be afforded fresh l embarrassment. A more immediate ef- feet of his surrender, the general of cial view here is that it removes from the military and political situation the most menacing feature for years. With Villa peaceful. it is believed gen erally. the prospects for restoration of l order are much better. Terms of Surrender Final MEXICO CITY, July 2S.-General 1 Garcia announced today that the final terms of Villas surrender had been de- cided on The bandit chief will retire 1 to private life in a place to be desig mated by the government. He will go first to Torreon to disband his forces. as he will retain no military connection 1 whatsoever.
 II It is not likely that Villa will come to Mexico City, but will proceed from 1 Torreon wherever the government di- l rects.

DOMINION HOME RULE FUR IRISH
 GAINING FAVOR
Belief Spreads That Plan Provides Most Satisfac- tory Settlement for All Factions Concerned--Sinn Fein Leaders Still Repu- diate All Compromises
IRepubliean A. p. Leased wire1


 DUBLIN, July 2S.-Renewed activity is apparent in Irish political circles fa- voring dominion home rule as a satis- factory settlement. In addition to Sir Horace Plunkett's dominion league which makes new appeal for funds many Irishmen are prompted by Pre- mier Lloyd Georges announcement to press forward a plan differing from the dominion leagues by agreeing to allow the Ulster counties to vote them selves out
 Nationalists who hitherto violently opposed this course as being a parti- tion of Ireland, have come around to favor it and have the support of the Freeman's Journal, which in recent months, under a new proprietorship. could not be distinguished from the Sim Fein organs.
 In agreeing to accept county cption for Ulster. independent groups have met both of the premier's indispensable conditions. The crux of the situation is the attitude of the Sim Fein leaders who continue to repudiate all com promises.
 But the story circulated privately that Eamonn de Valera has sent word that a dominion settlement should be accepted and that several leading Sim Feiners believe this to be the best policy, though not generally credited l is responsible to some extent for the | more sanguine outlook.
 To all activities, the Sim Fein lead CTS present a front of unchanging in difference and disdain. The only terms on which they are willing to meet the premier it is declared. embrace recog- milton of Ireland as independent. This conceded, they would be willing te meet him to negotiate treaty oi peace between England and Ireland.
 Powerful influence on the Sim Feir policy is exercised by the republican army, which numbers more than 200,- | 900, and has been described as occupy | ing toward the Dail Eirreann, the same 1 relations as Cromwelfs ironsides dic to the commonwealth parliament.

There is no doubt that there are
plenty of county roads that need
fixing. but it should be remembered
that the tax burden already placed
upon the taxpayers is high. Road
repairs should not be used to curry
favor In certain sections in the

Editor EVENING NEWS:
l have just been approached by a
man of intelligence who stated to
me hat he had been told that the
commissioners under commission
government received a salary of
5000 a year, and that they had the
right to appoint deputy COM
~missioners and fix the salary at any
sum they pleased. This is but an
other illustration of the false state
ments that are being circulated by
those opposed to commission govern
ment, and who desire to discredit 1t
on the ground Of expense. We invite
the truth which We know will carry
conviction. We submit the making
of these false statements as a char
acter OF the opposition.
This brings me to the subject of
my text letter. Section No. 4 of
the act provides that in cities of
our class the mayors salary shall
be not more than 50, and that of
each commissioner shall be not more
than 5 $4,000. Chapter No. PIG of the
Laws of 1917 provides that the
salaries may be increased fifty per
cent. but only If approved by the
voters voting thereon at an election.
There is nothing in the act which
gives the commissioners the right to
appoint deputy commissioners, nor
are deputy commissioners provided
for in any manner. nor is there
authority for any payment to any
such officers.
The act follows substantially the
form of other commission govern
ment legislation which has been
passed in most of the states of the
Union. and which has been adopted
by over three hundred and fifty
cities.
1t provides for an election of five
commissioners who shall serve until
the third Tuesday in May in the
fourth year following such election.
Every fourth year thereafter their
successors shall be elected for four
years.
1t is expressly provided that moth
ing contained in the act shall affect
the term of office OF any policeman,
fireman or other employee of the
police or fire department, veteran of
any war or other Official Or employee
nov protected by the tenure of Of
fee act. The act also expressly pro-
vides that the school system shall be
in no way affected.
A criticisxn has been suggested that
II puts One man at the nedQ OF a
department with sole authority, CIV
ing him thereby too much power.
This is not true. While each COM
missioner has a supervisory function
over a separate department, the act
expressly provides in section Nc. 3
that a majority of the members of
the board of commissioners shall
constitute a quorum. and the affirm
alive vote Of a majority Of all the
members shall be necessary to
adopt any motion, resolution or
ordinance, or pass any measure, I'M
less otherwise provided for in the
act.
The act further provides that care
full minutes shall be kept and that
the public shall have access thereto.
The board must meet once a week,
and the meetings must be open to
the public. The greatest safeguards
are thrown around all action of the
commissioners so as to protect the
rights of the people, and make the
responsibility of the commissioners
to the people really mea some
thing.
1 shall be glad to speak of some
of these safeguards in another COM
munication.
Yours truly,
ADRIAN LYON.
President,

About the only time a Princess
helps her mother around the house is
when she helps her tell Father where
to get off.
At that the average married man
would rather have his wife pick his
pockets than have her pick his neck
ties.
Another wonderful thing is how
modest a girl car be with her legs
when she is wearing a pair OF cheap
cotton stockings.
This would be a better world If the
money that is spent for Tango les
sons was spent for Grammar lessons.
There is too much Kissing during
the Honeymoon and o much Cuss-
ing after the Honeymoon.
1t is a good thing for all of US that
we haven't as any pimples on our
faces az we have on u backs.
Most any man can tell you that
all the good luck goes to those who
do not need 1t.
Other people hate a selfish man al
most as much as he loves himself.
No man is quite as respectful to
the woman who uses paint as he Is
to the other kind.
Every fat woman wants to be an
angel. An angel wears a loose gown
like a nightgown all the time.
1t hurts a man more to lose a dali
lar through a hole in his pocket than
1t does to lose $40 on the ponies.
And even il God did create a Per-
feet Man, the woman he married
would find as many flaws in him as
there are holes in a Swiss cheese.
We thought things were bad when
the girls wore waterproof complex
ions. But nowadays a lot of them
look like they had turpentine-proof
compilations.
If you ever saw a fat woman get
ting into a straight-front corset you
would bet that 40 camel could g
