Announc ing that they will not lay down their arm until formal negotiations fdr peace are under way, the revolution ary party of Mexico, through Dr. Vaiquei Gomez, their representative In Washington, issued a statement yesterday outlining the attitude of of th revolutionists toward peace overtures and reforms In too repub lic. Too statement says: . The reolutlonsry party, which is constituted of the best men of the party cannot accept as a guarantee only the promise of a government that has for more than 30 years been promising, and has aeveTful&lled tingle one of its promises. The revolutionist think, and with reason, thst Immediately fol lowing the laying sown of arms, many of the leaders would die mys teriously, no reforms would be grant ed, and the oppression wquld be greater than ever. "For thta reason, the revolutionists will not accept as a guarantee Mr. Llmatour, or any other individual, because one man cannot and mast not servo as a guarantee for a politi cal party fighting tor the liberty of a people," and much lesa when such a man ha been, and is, the right baad of the oppressing government The revolutionists do not desire the com plete elimination of the opposing party, beeaaaa every one knows that 11 ia necessary to have opposite parties in a nation la order to main tain political equtllbrlu.m and right eons administration, Tb revolutionary psrty must be represented in the government of the states, is the congress and In ye cab inet It Is well known that up to the present not a single member of the cabinet has ever made the least pro tot in regtrd to the great political abuses, the unjust imprisonments and the numberless political assassina tions. .

There are per sisted reports of a movement on foot to get together at an early date rep resentative, progressive democrats from all parts Of the state for a meet ing either In Raleigh or Greensboro, for the purpose of putting In the field a candidate for the United States sen ate two years hence that will oppose both Senator Simmons and Governor Kltchln, who has come to be consid ered practically an avowed opponent for the senatorial togar worn for the past two terms by Senator Simmons. It is certain that the Slmmons-Kitchln will be u strenuous campaign for democracy, and If It is converted into a three-cornered light the contest will be all the more stirring. It has been the Impression thug far that Simmons and Kite bin would have a clear field for their tight as Ex-Governor Aycock said lie will not oppose Simmons. New RdMrcsd Frcm Dsrfcrm to Dnville Speaking of this new road the Yanreyvllle Democrat has this to say: The prospects for a railroad, or at least an electric line from Durham to Danville, and through Caswell county, really bright Information from a reliable source tends to show that both Danville and Durham have set forth lbs necessary preliminaries to construct the road. The distance Is about ii miles, and more than half of the road would be in Caswell county. The work, if undertaken, will amount to much to Danville, whose present system of roads operate as one, while on the other hand Durham has about five different lines. It would also mean the commencing of a new era far our county. Her prod ucts and natural "wealth with trans portation facilities would make strides Incomparable with many of her sister counties. If this proportion Is made to our people, and aid asfesd for, this paper hop's the farmers of the county, by their efforts, will take no risk la etting this enterprise escape.

Some such move, it is felt, has been rendered Imperative to rid the fraternities of a large class of students who come to college pri marily for the purpose of enjoying its social life and habitually shirk its work. Th question was taken up at the recent pan-Hellenic Coun cil, in which all the fraternities of the college were represented, and the resolution was adopted unsuimously: "That all frcshuv-n be required to make at least ten hours of their work before they may be admitted to any fraternity." it Is hoped that this ruling will go far toward removing . the standing criticism that fraternities put a pre mium on indifferent scholarship and that absolute failure in college work never prevents admission to their ranks. The faculty committee ap pointed to consider the matter of a scholarship requirement for eligibil ity to fraternities made the following report: "That the secretary of the faculty be requested to inform the pan-Hellenic Council of the receipt of the communication from the coun cil regarding its action in the matter of a scholarship requirement for ad mission to fraternities, and' to ex press for the faculty its appreciation of this praiseworthy effort on ike part of the fraternities thus to im prove the standard of work of their members. 'That after this year, February 10 be fixed aa the earliest date for the Initiation of . members of the fresh man clans Into fraternities." TBirilTY -FARS DEFEATED GiSE EESnTI D IS A VICTORY .

Delivered Strong Address At Trinity College Last Night EFFECTIVE PRESENTATION Brilliant Yonng Xerth Carolinian Was Greeted by Appreciative Audience and Were Surprised by the Force and Power of the Personal Message Which He Brongbt to All A lecture of remarkable force and eloquence was that delivered by Dr. Gilbert T. Rowe, pastor of Tryon Street Methodist . church, Charlotte, before the students of Trinity college at the Craven Memorial hall last night Doctor Rowe possessed mark ed gifts of speech and an Impressive personality, and his appearances at Trin'v col'ege are always greeted by appreciative audiences. A liberal rep resentation of tne college community and city was gathered In the Craven Memorial hall when the brilliant young North Carolina minister was Introduced by President Few. The speaker, in dealing with a vital religious .subject, brought to It a freshness and originality of view, gathered from a large and varied ex perience. He made an eloquent plea for the reinstatement of the gospel and teachings of Christ into the dally life of the college man. Dr. Rowe is not so far removed from his own col lege days as to have forgotten the pe culiar religious needs of the under graduate, and his message bore an sptness and applicability not often heard in college lectures. The real force of Doctor Rowe's speaking lies In his effective presen tation which loses much when an attempt la made to put bis utterances into type. Kit message was a purely personal one. The gospel is not only good news but God's news. But it is ess news than power; less said than something done. It ia a message and aa utterance, but it ia also action and power. The gospel is not men's best thought of God or that daring which believes that best thought to be true. It is God's action In Jesus Christ ef fecting salvation for sinful men. This gospel came first by anticipa tion, when It became a fact In Hebrew consciousness that God would deal with sin in such a way as to destroy it and bring salvation. How that fact entered consciousness it is useless to inquire, because what was then gos pel In promise has since beco.ne gos pel in fact Even In promise the gos pel waa power; It saved, and the cen ter of it was a person. The promise to Abrabsm was, "In thy seed shall all tfie families of the earth be blessed." "They all drank of one spiritual rock, that la, Christ" Sal vation in Israel was experienced thronga confidence in God's redeem ing love. Though they did not know how, they kucw that God would find a way. , When Jesus Christ appeared the gospel wss present In power the kingdom was at hand. And yet one would aeek In vain lo find a do Unite statement of the gospel In the sayings of Jesus. He did not come primarily to leach a doctrine but to be a Sa viournot to talk but to do. He had one great call and that was, "Come to me." for he himself was. Is and at ways Will be the gospel. While on earth he held that gospel unfinished in solution in himself. Hs did not preach with e'earness as to but one thing, and that waa fidelity to him self As to the full message he said, I have many things to say, but ye can not hear them now." Hs bad a work to accomplish and a baptism to receive that could only come In his death. VISITORS GOING TO ROME t'Lorkita these to wmr.ss EXP0MITI0. Rome. Msrrh S3.

A. Wynne, of the Raleigh Telephone company, was in the city several days ago taking In the situa tion and it Is very likely that his company will ask the board of alder men for a franchise at an early date. A number of local business men are interested in the enterprise. A can vas of the. city will likely be made some time soon for' subscribers to the rfew system. If a sufficient num ber of patrons will signify their will ingness to subscribe for the new telephones, steps. will be taken im mediately to secure a franchise and construct the system. . The system that the new company desires to place in Durham Is the famous Wynne instantaneous system. It Is claimed that this system pos sesses many advantages over the other systems now In general use. It makes Instantaneous connection and there is no waiting for central. There is no possibility of wrong con nection or of overhearing conversa tions. The system has been in opera tion In Raleigh, in competition with other systems, for some time and has given very great satisfaction. '. The company will offer the local patrons telephone service -for $1 per month for party lines, $2 for indi vidual residence service and $3 per month tor service to business houses. Tbe local company charges $2. B0 for residence service and $4 for service to business bouses. The local company has been very well managed, but there have been many complaints in regard to the service rendered. Many of the pat rons also feel that they are belrg charged entirely too much for the service as compared with tbe rates prevailing in other cities. ' It Is also the Intention of the Ral eigh company to offer to put In un derground wires if the charter is granted to them. The telephone poles on the streets hare been an eyesore for some time and any plan that will get the lines under ground would doubtless be welcomed by the people of the city.

Raleigh, Mar.ch 23. The outcome of Raleigh's election of commission form of government its defeat by a vote of 886 to 437 is giving rise to some Interesting claims as an after math. Tho repudiated bill for com mission government had the active support of the present city admin istration, and the outspoken epposi-' Hon of tint element of tbe demo cratic party which was deprived of the administration of city affairs la the sensational campaign of two years aep. Now the leaders of this "dethroned" element of tbe party, who led the active work against com- i misalon government in tbe election yesterday are insisting that the out come of tho contest la a demonstra 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 tbe 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 It in uo 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 tha commission government elec tion give tew basis for figuring city politics ss the next municipal election approaches.- Only the sec-' ond city ward gave a majority for commission government, this being 17. Tbe vote by wnrds was: First.
