SHERIFF BANS
JUVENILES AS
JAIL PRISONERS

Condemning official delays in
opening of the new county deten-
ton home, Sheriff George /. Camp
bell last night announced he will
receive no more juveniles under the
age of l6 in the county jail unless
under superior court order.
BY this move Sheriff Campbell
hopes to force action to open the
detention home, which. he pointed
out. should be operating now In
his stand in refusing TO receive ju.
veniles in the county jail the sher-
if is backed by state law, which de-
clares no juvenile under l6 shall be
imprisoned in a county Jail
Already several Juveniles have
been TUNED away, and one, Is years
old, is held under an order OF de-
tention signed by Judge Vaughn NJ
Thompson.
At the next meeting of the county
board of supervisors. said Sheriff
Campbell he will ask why the de-
tention home is not yet open, since
the staff has been procured and
practically all other arrangements
made.
One factor considered by the
sheriff in arriving at the decision to
receive no more juveniles is the in
crease in crime, and the attcndant
increase in arrests, expected this
winter.
BY November Is, he said, it is ex-
pected from 200 to 225 prisoners

NOBLE?

7 think he is one Of our noblest Amer
1 leans
The statement was made yesterday in
Los Angeles by woman juror and re-
ferred to David H. Clark, who confessed
TO killing two men and whom the jury
was unable to convict, one lone juror be-
lieying Clark should be punished for his
crime.
The Woman's statement is spreading il
on mighty thick. Would she class Clark
with President Hoover and his great rec
ord in behalf of humanity? With Colonel
Lindbergh and his great achievements in
the air? With Thomas Alva Edison and
the benefits he has brought to mankind?
With Henry Ford who revolutioniZed the
life Of the average American family,
bringing to it the joys previously posi-
BILE only to the wealthy?
Would she compare David H. Clark
with the countless doctors and nurses
who battle day and night, year in and
year out, far beyond any true measure OF
recompense, to relieve the sufferings to
which mankind is heir? Will she have
him equal to or above the millions OF
mothers who go down into the valley OF
the shadows to bring forth a new life?
Is David H. Clark the equal of those who
take the young mind in charge and en-
deavor to mould it in the pathway of viz
tue and obedience to the laws of their
country?
We could stand the acquittal of David
H. Clark, if the jury saw fit to do it.
They heard the evidence and it was for
them to Judge But by no stretch of the
can we see where he is en-
titled to any halo, though a thousand
juries acquitted him. Rather, we think
this womans statement terrible indict-
ment of the mental calibre of those who
serve on our jurieS.

RATHER PULLING
W. c. COSTELLO
Manager

RI seems we have been laboring under d
delusion about the state of marriage.
Although not included in the married
class, we have always believed that mar
riage made man better and finer that
the influence of a woman on MS character
was to his benefit and that the respon-
sibilities of the married state steadied
HIM and made him better citizen than
those who have remained single.
A decision last week in the Los An
geles superior court has changed our
opinion, because we do not think a
learned judge could be wrong.
In granting probation to a youth who
killed a youngster because he was driv-
ing car while intoxicated, Judge O'Don-
nell, among other restrictions imposed
upon the accused, decreed that he shall
not marry during the 10 years Of his
probation.
Neither must he drive car nor drink
intoxicating liquor We can understand
the liquor part of it, and perhaps It is
good thing to keep this fellow from driv-
ing for while, but 10 years is too long
when the automobile plays such an i'm
portant part in modern life.
AS for the decree that the youth shall
not marry, we think Judge O'DOnnell Is
entirely wrong in that, and we doubt
very much that his regulation could be
enforced if the accused really wished to
break it. Why should the court have the
power to interfere in the orderly course
of nature if it so happens that the ac-
cused falls in love during his probation
airy period?
Wouldn't the court be doing better to
the accused and to society in general by
permitting him to marry some good girl
and settle down to the duties and respOn-
sibilities of the married state instead OF
shutting him off from them? If mar
riage is any good at all, this ruling OF the
courts is entirely out of line.
To US it appears particularly out Of
line in view of an earlier decision of the
same Judge. He also granted probation
to wealthy sportsman who had killed
his best friend under circumstances
greatly suspicious of being the eternal
triangle" variety. IN granting the pro-
