The Zuyder Zee, or Southern sea,
was formerly lake surrounded by
fens and marshes, it's present extent
being chiefly the result of floods which
occurred in the thirteenth century. It's
area is about two thousand square
miles and the average depth from ten
to nineteen feet. 1t has always been
the work Of the Hollanders to recover
as much as possible of the land lost to
them in this manner in past ages, and
in the literal sense they can be said
to have made half their country, hav
ing reclaimed over one million acres
from sea, lake and river since the six
teenth century.

WHAT PEOPLE
ARE SAYING

read an article from a Socialist in
the Daily Express, to which | wish to
reply.
He states that few years ago a
few Socialists in Grady county had |
told the people the difference between
the two old parties was ind.scernable
even with the most powerful micro
scope.
| wonder what he meant? Was il |
that these old party men were alike |
in their general appearance or was
it that in the administering of gov
ernment there was no difference? /
suppose the latter. If so, he is most |
wonderfully off, as they most general
| ly are on most questions.
The old parties have always been
IN opposition on questions that con
cerned the welfare of our citizenship.
The old Democratic party has stood
fer equal rights to all and special priv
ileges to none, or in other words, have
stood for the great masses of the peo-
pie, while the Republican party, since
the civil war, has stood for special
privileges to the rich classes and have
thrown around them all the protec-
tion they asked or demanded. The
Democrats in congress did what they
could to prevent such legislation, but
being in the minority they could do
nothing but record their protest. If
people do not know this it is simply a
waste OF time to be telling them, es-
pecially a Socialist who can never
understand anything but Socialism.
am also charitable enough to believe
that the majority of them do not and
have never understood it,
Years ago in the old country the
Socialist, Communist and the Mill
list were considered about one and the
same thing. Now get mad and say
that is a lie. But we are not dealing
with the Communist, Nihilist or An
archist, hence we will confine our
selves to the Socialists of this coun-
try and what they advocate here.
They claim that they were brought
into existence through unfair legisla-
ton. That the laws oppress the poor
| and favor the rich. This claim is
true and we are indebted to a party
in power for fifty years or more. 1t
was not the Democratic party and this
party looks SO much like the Demo
Gratis that you can't take micro
scope and discover any difference"
There has been a people who could
see a difference in the two old parties.
! In 1896 the manufacturers and trusts
| could see a difference and they clos
ed down the public works and gave
their hands to understand that il
Bryan, Democrat, was elected, the
shops would remain closed, that ii
Mckinley a Republican, was elected,
then these shops would start up the
morning after election. The same
thing happened in 1900, then again in
1908. So these fellows who were
wealthy, opulent and proud, could see
a difference in the old parties and
| lid not need a microscope to make the
discovery.
, The Democrats are again in power
| and the Socialists exclaim, why don't
you do something to bring relief. What
| made you start the war in Europe,
| knock the price of cotton and bring
on hard times?' Poor simple souls
that you are! Get down your micro
scope and examine yourselves and see
| it there is anything to you. Then
come over to the old Democratic
/ rarty.-T. M Kelley.

Test Of Spiritual Life.

If we may take one test or sign by
which to Judge Of advance in the spir-
itual life, it would be this-whether
more and more calmness Is being
maintained in the midst of all the
disturbances and troubles which are
wont to come, which may ever be
looked for in some form or other
whether there be peacefulness of mind,
and order of thought in the midst Of
all that once too much distracted and
agitated the soul.-T. T. Carter,

JUDGE WEST TO ACT
IN SPECIAL SESSION

1t is expected that Judge West of
Santa Ana, Orange county, will be

TRANSCRIPT DENIED
IN MEXICANS' CASE

One more chapter was added to the
Pecina- Salinas case yesterday when
Attorney Joseph F. Seymour's motion
to compel the state to produce tran
script of the. evidence taken at the
preliminary trial was denied, the court
holding that it was purely matter
of the court reporters and not of the
district attorneys office.
The defendants allege that the dis
trict attorney is merely holding them
in Jail here on a charge on which he
never intends to prosecute and that
his intentions are to await the results
of a federal investigation, and then
if the two Mexicans are desired by
the United States district attorney
they will be handed over to him.
Attorney Seymour is now preparing
a wri of mandate to compel the re-
porter at the preliminary hearing to
produce transcript and file it with
the county clerk as required by law.
In the event that this move is turned
down, the defendants will file peti-
tion for writ of habeas corpus in the
federal court at Los Angeles, mainly
based on the allegations that the dis
trict attorneys office has not the
right to hold Salinas and Pecina win
out attempting to give them trial.

CALIFORNIA VIEWS
ARE SHOWN AGAIN

For the benefit of the county SUI
lervisors, Professor Willy, the head
Of california on Wheels" special
matinee was given Monday afternoon
at the Tulane theatre. Man yinter-
esting Imperial Valley scenes were
shown and various citizens and ranch
ers recognized. Professor Willy So
licited an appropriation from the SUI
pervisors for the purpose of carrying
on advertising for the county on the
trip east on September 1.
Some time since the county entered
into an agreement with the West
Coast Magazine, which expects TO
conduct an exhibit of Imperial Val
lev products, the special train to visit
all the large cities in the East and
South. The supervisors expressed
themselves as delighted with the pic
lures and the possibilities of gain
through advertising, but stated that
nothing could be done in the matter
of an appropriation, as the other
proposition had virtually exhausted
the advertising fund.

JUSTICES OF PEACE
ARE TO CONVENE

For the purpose of standardizing
their procedure and for exchange of
views, all justices of the peace will
meet in Ell Centre next Saturday aft
ernoon. Brawley, Imperial, Holtville,
Calexico and Dixieland will each be
represented by member of the JUS
tees court. On account of recent
litigation, when Imperial county was
not populated as at present, the law
tha. small salary for Grim
inal cases was given the justices in
this county. 1t developed that prac-
ically all of the cases coming before

be made to petition for redress in the
matter at the convention Saturday

islation, but it is possible for he coun-
ty supervisors to arrange differently

lis, former wealthy manufacturer
of Cincinnati, was stricken with an
epileptic fit today while testifying in
his own defense on trial for murder
ing his wife. He fell from the stand
when his attorney introduced a copy
of telegram Mrs. Ellis is alleged

meet her in Chicago. Ellis confessed
to the police that he killed his wife
after they had witnessed the per-
formance of Damaged Goods" at

ness stand that he was incurably dis
eased when he married her.
Ellis was revived, but broke down

attorneys indicated they will try to
prove that wealthy Cincinnatians con-
spired to bring about the hanging Of
Ellis to save the wife's name.
