MEXICAN BANDITS DERAIL
TRAIN; SEVEN KILLED

MEXICO CITY, Oct. Five SOL
diers and two women, one the moth
er of four children, were killed by
bandits who Monday derailed and
attacked a passenger train on the
Isthmus line between joachim and
Piedras Negras.
Commanded by Jose Lagunas, Pc
dro Gonzalez and Cayetano Acar,
the last named a Turk, the bandits
overturned the engine and sacked
the train, after killing the soldiers
and taking prisoner the remaining
escort of 18 men. The passengers
were forced to strip to their uudor-
clothing. The bandits carried off
10000 pesos from the express and
also took with them three young
women from among the passengers
Colonel Zuniga, with troops, start
ed in pursuit four hours later when
the passengers reached Piedras Ne
gras and told their story.

PAINS DISCOVERED

VOLTA
Volta Rids You of Rheumatic
Pain Without Drugs or
Medicines. =

Until recently, the real cause of
Rheumatism has eVaded scientific
inquiry. And, naturally, the old
fashioned methods of treatment with
internal remedies were uncertain
and sometimes dangerous.
Now 1t has been definitely estab-
lished that rheumatic pains are
caused in many cases by the alb
sorption of poisons into the blood.
Alessandro Volta, the well-known
physicist, for whom the electric
volt was named, has produced an
entirely new and revolutionary
method of treatment for Rheuma.
tism. He discovered a scientific
combination of certain ingredients
that produces a fine powder which,
when shaken into the shoes or
stockings is intended to be lmme-
diately absorbed into the blood.
This is due, no doubt, to the fact
that the soles of the feet contain
10 times as many pores to the
square inch as are found in other
parts of the body.
He has called this powder Volta.
Its use has given immediate relief,
In many instances, from the terrible
Gripping, torturing pain even in
stubborn, long standing cases.
The use of Volta powder has dem.
onstrated such astonishing results
In literally thousands of cases, many
Of which we're considered hopeless.
that the American distributors have
authorized local druggists to dis
pense Volta to rheumatic sufferers
n their city with an unqualified
guarantee to return the full pur-
chase price of the first box in any
rare case where the rheumatic
pains are not wonderfully relieved.
All who suffer from rheumatic
pains, no matter how long-standing
their case may be, should take
immediate advantage of this liberal
offer. You can get Volta powder
with this guarantee from Peoples
DIV" Stores.

other oil leases, the Veterans Bu-
reau. the alien property custodian,
the degradation of the Department of
Justice under both Democratic and
Republican administrations, and the
endless fraud and corruption in con-
nectfon with taxation and prohibition
enforcement, are but evidences of
such control of party machinery by
laWless and predatory interests.
The approaching Democratic and
Republican conventions will demon
strate to the people whether either OF
those parties can and will purge it
self of the evil influences which have
long dominated them. This cannot be
accomplished by merely nominating
some alleged progressive and filling
the platform with misleading prom
ises. 1t demands the elimination of
monopoly control, the downfall of the
corrupt political bosses, the adoption
of truly progressive principles and
the reputation of those great cam
paign contributors who have in the
past bought up both parties.
IF this is not done, a long suffering
and righteously indignant people will
find in the coming campaign effective
means, independent of both these old
parties, to take back control of their
government and make it truly repre-
sentative.

"Reposing complete confidence in
the SoundneSS of the deliberate judg-
ment of the American people, / have
no apprehension that the Communist
party can ever command any conSld-
erable support in this country. l do
not question their right, under the
Constitution, to submit their issues
to the people, but 1 most emphati-
cally protest against their being ad-
mitted into the councils of any body
of progressive voters. The Commu-
niSts stand for the substitution of
the soviet form of government for
the one we now have and propose to
accomplish this change through a
revolution, with a class dictatorship
as their ultimate aim instead of a
democracy. To pretend that the
Communists can work with the pro-
gressives. who believe in democracy,
is deliberately to deceive the public.
The Communists are antagonistic to
the progressive cause, and their only
purpose in joining such a movement
is to disrupt 1t.
Not only are the Communists the
mortal enemies of the progressive
movement and Democratic ideals, but,
under the cloak of such extremists,
the reactionary interests find the best
opportunity to plant their spies and
provocatory agents for the purpose
OF confusing and destroying true
progressive movements.
Il have devoted many years OF my
life to an effort to solve the problems
which confront the American people
by the ballot and not by force. l be-
lieve that the people through the
ballot can completely control their
government in every branch and COM
