Tie LA-E ones

Several hours after Gabriel blows his
horn on Judgment Day, some tardy souls
are going to come struggling in to find
out what it is all about, and it will be up
to Gabriel to decide what is to be done
with them.
1t will be the last chance anyone will
have to be late and what the folks who
always like to be late are gong to DO
thereafter is mystery
Lateness is very common human de-
feet and it is felt that there are many
late ones in Ell Centro as far as the Unit
ed States census is concerned.
For the benefit of such as these the
taking Of the census has been extended
several days beyond the date originally
set for closing, but it positively ends to-
night at midnight. For the convenience
OF the late ones, coupon is printed
herein, through the cooperation of the
chamber of commerce, and on this they
may make known the fact that they, or
some of their friends have not been enum-
Grated.
The need of all residents being en-
rolled IN the census has been emphasized
again and again. Despite the frank eX-
plantations there are many who look upon
it with suspicion. Because of the ques-
Il0n asked concerning ownership OF fa-
dios, some imagine tax on radios is to
be placed by the federal government.
Home ownership appears to be another
bugaboo.
There is no catch in the census. The
word of the government is given that
the sole object is to ascertain the popula-
ton of the country for the purposes set
forth in the Constitution-app
ment of members in the house of repre-
sentatives and that the growth of the ma
ton may be determined.
1t is the duty of all to be included in
the census. The government has made
every effort to reach every resident. If
you have not yet been enumerated, or if
you know of any persons who have not
been counted. use the coupon which you
will find in this edition of the Press and
late as you are, you will be cared for.

:" How is it; any longer'' asked
the Wolf of the Bob Cat as the two
rad Chaps sat in the doorway of
he den of the Fuzzy Fox, waiting
tor him 70 come back. The Fox had
gone out to see if he could catch
Uncle Wiggily.
. Is what any longer?' asked the
Bob Cat with snarl, for he was
never very polite and now was
crosser than ever. ''Is what any
longer, NJ. Wolf2"
"Your tall the Wolf answered.
q" Ha. Ha! l hear you carry two
looking glasses so you can take a
Feek at yourself three or four times
day and see if your silly little
all has grown. How about it 20

alone!" snapped the angry Bob Cat.
"1'll let you alone just as you

"Well, I'd like to see YOU catch
h'm!" snapped the Bob Cat. Gun
Gle Wiggily is smarter than I am.
He fooled me. And he can fool you,
for he is smarter than you are
"Nonsense." growled the Wolf,
laughing deep down in his hairy
throat. II show you how to catch
that rabbit. III play a trick on him,
that s what I'll do!'
"What kind of trick?' asked
the Bob Cat.
ON tell you about it," whis-
pcred the Wolf, looking around the
den to make sure no one would
hear him but the Bob Cat.
"'Go ON. Tell me, IN listening,'

"The older Uncle Wiggily gets, "
hispered the Wolf in the ear of
the Bob Cat, "the more fond he is
Of eating. Now this is my trick. l

of a hill nearby, saw the rabbit
come out and they called to the
Wolf who was waiting:
"Uncle Wiggily is coming now!"

The Wolf hid in the bushes near

This appeal grew out of the com
plant Of c. J. Taft, Los Angeles
filed on February IA, charging that
on February -, TIE sheriff "did
unlawfully and willfuily use force
and violence upon the person OF {.
J. Taft, this complainant" while
visiting certain prisoners confined
in the county Jail. The case came
to trial before Judge Mayfield who
found the defendant guilty as charg-
ed and sentenced him to pay fine
of $3.50. Harry Horton, attorney
for Gillett, then filed his motion for
an arrest Of Judgment and for a
new trial, which was denied. The
appeal then followed. The grounds
for this new trial were;
That the court received evidence

court had been guilty of conduct
by which the defendant was and

CALIFORNIA, LOOK TCIT

Another terrible indictment for our sin
OF oVercrowded prisons is filed against
the nation today by the group of more
than 800 convicts lying dead at Ohio pen
ltentlary, as result of yesterdays terri
bic disaster there.
Trapped in their cells like so many
rats, the unfortunate men were doomed
to die without so much as fighting
chance for their lives.
The blame is not to be placed on the
warden or his aides, who fought valiantly
to get keys into the cell blocks to release
the men, but were prevented from doing
so by the dense smoke which rolled about
them.
That the fire was of incendiary origin,
probably started by the convicts them
selves in an attempt to obtain their free
dom, does not Justify the death of these
men.
In well organized prison, a blaze
would have little or no chance of spread
ing to such an extent that nearly 400
souls would die
Ohio penitenitary was not we'll organ
lied. Not that its warden or guards were
inefficient; but because it was called up
on to do the same thing that is perpet-
ual nightmare to every prison and Jail
official in the country. 1t had to house
more men than ii ever was intended to
hold.
Last year the National Society of Pen
al Information said of the Columbus pen
itentiary "The ancient plant at the state
penitentiary in Columbus, one of the
largest prisons in the country, suffers
from condition of overcrowding worse
than in any other prison. Even with the
completion of the present addition it will
be able to care for its present popula-
tion only under conditions that fall far
below accepted modern standards for
housing prisoners"
The necessity for prison reform has
been stressed by President Hoover, by
sociologists. the press and other agen-
cies for several years past. Need for it
riots that have taken place with alarm
ing frequency throughout the nation in
the past year
Even the worst 800 convicts in the
country deserve better chance for their
lives than to be caught behind iron bars
with nothing to do but await a horrible
death. There is nothing to prove that the
800 victims at Columbus were the worst
convicts in the country.
We will be shocked for few days
about this Columbus affair and then we
will lapse into our usual indifference. In
reality there is nothing those outside of
Ohio can do about it, and Ohio can just
ly tell us that it is none of our business.
1t can even become little more truthful
about the matter and tell US to look to
our own prisons.
If we look toward Folsom and San
Quentin we will find that California can
cast no stones at Ohio or any other state.
True we have made arrangements for a
new prison. We have decided that we
must have one, also a separate prison for
women and probably reformatory.
However, there is such a wild scramb-
ling going on among various communi-
ties for the dubious honor of being the
site of a state penal institution (of course
the real reason is to sell a bit OF land),
that it may be several years yet before
California will be able to house its con
victs in way that will prevent repeti-
ticn of the Ohio disaster.

It is with regret that Imperial county

Sloane, of the fourth district court of
appeals, who expired yesterday at San
Francisco.
Through a long residence in San Diego
county, he was we'll known in Imperial
Valley, particularly among members of
the bar and county officials. His appoint
ment by the governor, to the new district
court of appeals last fall, met with high
est approval from attorneys in this coun-
ty, who recognized Judge Sloane as en-
inently fitted for the so-called travel
ing court"
He had the confidence and respect of
all who knew him and was high type Of
citizen and jurist. His health had not
been of the best for several years, due to
his advanced age, yet he responded to
the states call to organize the new court,
believing it to be a duty which should not
be side-stepped.
Judge Sloan's death is distinct loss
to the bar and to the state judiciary.
