Dear Mr. Editor: -Since the polit
ical pot ha arready commenced to
boil, I beg the privilege of adding a
little fuel that it may boil mora. I
am only a sojourner in your eity, bat
I feel an interest in her moral and
material development, and that ia the
only reason for this letter. -
Now J wish to aay ia tbe beginning
tbat Coneord baa seen ber best days
unless there are soma changes. .. She
ia getting a bad name everywhere. I
am told by traveling men that Con
cord ia regarded aa the "loosest"
town in the state.; A manufacturer re
marked ia my presence few days ago
that Coneord was tbe most immoral
town on tbe nap of North Carolina,
Drummers leave here and tell tbat
their patronage bad been solicited for
whiskey. "Bom weavers" aay they
fan get booze any time they want it
and I gness it ia so, for I frequently
see some of tbe wont of thai class un
der its influence. That whiskey ia
constantly sold in violation of the law
is admitted by alL Has any guardian
of the law vert tempted to stop the
illegal sale of it, or to catch the viola
tors t And thi neglect of duty has
- made brass buttons and blue eoata
farce m ' ConeordT Doubtless (he
"crap shooters "jvould deny thisXet's
. see. I notice in the Tribune one day
that all violators of tbe law regulating
tbe speed of automobiles will be fined,
The next day I see the machines past
through tbe main street at a terrifle
rate, endangering the lives of the pnb-
- lie, and yet I hear of no arrests. -The
poliee department -tells us we will be
arrested if we spit on the sidewalk.
Has anybody here quit spitting? Just
... look and see. : W V.v- : "
I am aavint this ta show thai mm
;. are so far gone in sin that we do- not
- believe our policemen, not to east any
force. Brethren, when the poliee say
quit spitting yon must swallow your
spit, vv
Now the question is this: Will Con-
eord continue to be run by old Boose
and iik friend, or will those eitizens
who desire to see tbe dignity of the
law upheld, and the prosperity and
welfare of Concord assured, jret. to
gether J andtiominate and elect that
ticket suggested by "Citisen" last

Mexico-City, March 24. The Diaz
cabinet 'resigned today. . Following a
masting of that body at o cwcx wis
afternoon every minister tendered his
resignation to General Diaz, As yet
none of the. resignations have been
accepted, ; but on excellent authority
it is said that two of the ministers--and
possibly not more than one--will
be asked to retain hie portfolio, in
diplomatic circles and among high gov-
. nn , ... , il. A

General Diaa will insist upon- Jose
Yves Limantour remaining in charge
of the department of finance. -
' Members of the cabinet refuse to
comment upon their action but it is
said semiofficially that the initiative
was taken not by them, but by tbe
president, who, it is said, proposed to
surround himself with younger men
in the1 hope that such action will serve
to unite all elements of the nation.
. The reason given for the action in
an official announcement, is the belief
that it will contribute to the reestab
lish ment .of peace and facilitate the
reforms which are in contemplation.
