Mr.. Simmonds' attorneys, O'Brien &
Glennon, took the matter up to the
district court for decision and were
upheld in their contention that the law
was unconstitutional as under the con-
stitution the legislature has no say in
the hiring of deputies and therefore
could not lawfully dictate who should
be employed or who should not; they
also held that in this case Mr.. Sim
nonds was hired with the approval of
the board several months before this
law was III effect. and by right of con.
tract the law could not be made to at
feet him. These contentious were upheld
by the court.

WASHINGTON, July Clover
California, about which there have
been many conflicting reports since
the relations between the United
States and Mexico reached crisis, is
the subject of war geography bull
letin issued by the National Geo
graphic Society from Washington.
Concerning this undevoloped terri
tory of Mexico, whose governor Is re-
puted to have declared himself neu-
trail with respect to the two republics
and also as wishing for annexation to
the United States, the bulletin says:
Lower California, once a land Of
fable, romance and thrilling adven-
ture, is one of the most sparsely set
tied regions Of the Mexican republic.
It has an area corresponding in size
to that of the Atlantic Coast PENN
sula of Florida, but with nearly 700
miles more coast line, owing to its

has more than fourteen times as

Rugged and Barren
Varying in width from thirty TO
$50 miles, Lower California is a rug
ged. barrel strip Of land with n
mountainous backbone largely Of vol
Canlc origin. For nearly two hundred
years after Its discovery by the Span
iards 1t was thought to be an island.
"The southern portion Of the pen
lnsula has some rain. but the north
ern section is dry and arid, produo-
ing cereals, tobacco, grapes, caBsaya
and sugar cane only after being thor
oughly irrigated The mineral re-
sources are valuable and varied. Gold,
silver. lead, copper. salt, gypsum, tur-
quois, oDRls and garnets are proata-
bly, mined. The silver mines OF La
Paz wore worked by the JesuItB az
early us 1900, three years after the
famous padre, SalYatierra, establish
ed the first permanent Spanish settle
ment in the land.
Lower California owes its early
exploration ut the hands of Cortez' 8
lleutenants to the fact that the ro-
glon was supposed to be the home Of
wonderful race Of siranR and ANA
IONS whose majestic cities were paved
with gold. In writing to his sover-
eign In 1924 the conQueror of Mexico
said: They tell me that Ciguatan Is
an island inhabited by women with
out any men, although at certain
times they are visited by men from
the mainland, and II the women bear
female children they are protected,
but II males they are driven from
society. They also tell me that it is
very rich in pearls and gold, respect
ing which shall labor to obtain the
truth and give your majesty a full
account OF It,
Derivation OF Eamo.
THE name California Is derived
neither from Ciguatan, by which the
region was known to Cortez, nor from
Calida Fornax (Hot Oven), the apt
descriptive phrase employed by some
Of the early explorers. The name was
used in Las Sergus de Esplandian, Il
widely read Spanish romance OF Cor
tez's day, to designate an island on
the right hand Of the Indies very
near the terrestrial paradise Some
commentators suggest that this name
was adopted in derision, for the bar

*One Quart at a Time" Law.

Through the influence and pow
er of the manufacture of intoxicat,
ing liquor who wish to fill their
golfers at the expense of our young
manhood and womanhood, and at
the expense Of broken hearts and
ruined homes the voters of our state
are called upon to decide at the
November election whether they
will retain the two most beneficial
laws ever passed by our State
Legislature for the protection OF
the peace, prosperity and happi-
ness of our people, or whether
loose reins shall be given to the
blind tiger business again. We
earnestly request the voters to
consider this question at issue
from deepersense than political
one, but from moral point of view.
No one has the moral right for
the sake of gain to engage in any
business that is injurious to his
fellow men.
Now the liquor man is in the
business for the sake of gain, and
in a business that all know, either
from sad experience or observation,
that is injurious to the material,
mental, moral and spiritual in
rests of men.
Since this is true then no man
before God, has the moral right by
vote or otherwise. for the sake of
revenue, to legalize such bust
ness or grant one, for the sake of
gain, to engage in this nefarious
business that brings such sorrow
and woe to our people.
To vote for the abolition of the
zone quart" law means not only to
return the law that grants SO many
opportunities to the blind tiger
man who is curse to any COM
muuity and traitor to his coun-
try, and who for gain not only is
willing to perjure himself and his
customers, but also to bring sorrow
and ruin to homes, but he becomes
