Enrique Flores Magon of Los Angeles, Cal. Thomas Sarabla of San Antonio. Tex. who goes by the name of Thomas T. Labrada, and Antonio P. Araujo of Austin. Tex. recently appealed to cer- tain of the criminal and ignorant ele- ment of the border States of Mexico. melting them to raid certain designat- ed towns for the purpose of robbing the banks and government otices un-' der the plea that funds could be thus raised for the cause of an alleged rev. olution.

TOYS AND TOY-lMAKLNG
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

physicians had ordered him to take a rest Partly to amuse himself. and partly to entertain some children he began to whittIe some little toys out of wood. Out of these grew his fa- nous toys showing King Edward bag ging pheasants, Emperor William on bear hunt Carlos killing mountain sheep. and President Roosevelt draw
 ing a bead on q grizzly.
 Paris is the only city that regularly
 holds toy expositions, and at these
 one may see every sort of toy made in
 the world The United States keeps a
 permanent exhibition of the toys or
 all nations and times in the ethnoiog-
 teal space in the National Museum. :.
 From India. from China. from Africa.
 Alaska, Australia. from the remotest past down to the living present, these toys have been &athered. and looking at the exhibit one might exclatm that the history Of nations may be written
 in their piagthings- Philadelphia Is the heart of toy-land 1 in the United States. That city makes one fifth of all the toys mannfactured in this cofintry The trade that 1t is | working up with other nations is res
 markable, 1t even sends thousands oi dollars worth of toys to Germany Ii 1 Is in the making of mechanical toys | that Philadelphia Is making her great est strides. The improved machinery | is what counts. The largest toy fac J tory of that city employs over 500 hands, and the output consists of per forming animals. steeple-chasers. danc- l ing deryishes.y cowboys on buekinG
 bronchos.A ieaping rabbits, kangaroos and donkeys.
 While Young America is enjoyipg
 his Christmas toys this year nothing
 could be more appropriate than that he should learn that other little chii- dreD had worked day in and day out the whole year long. in order that he could have this Joy. Perhaps if he could know the history of his toy from the time 1t began to have being in the world he would appreciate it more and feel an interest in the struggling lit- tie fellow who had worked manfully (copyright, Is0s, by Frederic J.

bers ofj this Board who are thus sp- pointed.
 Tt has been many times held by the Supreme Court Of the United States that tn ehe absence of specific provis- ion to the contrary that the power of removal from office Is incident to the power of aappointmsnt; and that where tho term of an offfce is not fixed. the officer holds at the pleasure of the ap- pointing power: and this is recognized to be the general rule of law.
 Reim vs United states, 17T U. S., 290: Shirtliff vs. United States, 1Ss Ala, 3l5s 23 4. and E. Ency, of Law, (2nd Ed.) 4lo.4
 Moreover. Section 20 of our Consti- tuition provides that no ofiice shall be created the appointment to which shall be for a longer-time than during good behavior And 1t Is also the rule of law that if the language of the stat ute fixing the term of the office is ann biguous, an Interpretation should be followed which limits the term to the shortest time. (23 A. and E. Ency. Law. 2nd Ed. 409.) Applying these principles of law to the present case. 1t is my conclusion and I so advise you, that the aforesaid members of the Board of Education of Baldwin County do nota.hold their offices for life: that they hold their offices at the pleasure Of the State Superintendent of Educa- tion, who is the appointing power Tn the act: and that they. are removable at the pleasure of that officer. It, therefore. follows that the provisions of the municipal code relative to pub lie school system apply to cities and towns In Baldwin County.
 tSeeond-Section 6 of the re-district- ing law provides. that The provision of this act shall not apply to any County heretofore districted by au- thority of special law and which has a special levy from the County for the support of the public schools there in General Acts 1907. D. 492). Bald win County was districted under the act above mentioned, approved Febru- ary 2s 1901. This act was a special law applying alone to Baldwin Coun- ty. The act authorized a special levy from the County for the support of public schools therein and this levy is still effective. Therefore. it follows that the provisions of the present re- dtstricting law do not apply to Bald win County. Yours very truly.
