THERE'S 4 DIFFERENCE

THERE never has been a man made law
i which cannot be made to appear RI
diculouS or unjust at some time or other
The county law, or ordinance. which
forbids treating patients at the county
hospital unless they have been residents
of the county for at least year, is ne
exception to the statement contained in
the first paragraph.
Emergency cases, such as are caused
by the present hot spell, are making the
hard and fast" rule ridiculous, though
pressure brought to bear by citizens hay-
ing more regard for the fundamental
laws of civilization than for man-made
laws, has saved this community from
acting in manner contrary to all the
laws of humanity.
There is such a wide difference be-
tween an emergency case. in which the
victim has met with misfortune through
no fault of his own, and the chronic
''hospitaler", that anyone should be able
to distinguish between the two.
If there were some sudden disaster,
such as an earthquake regard for public
opinion, if not for humanity, would
throw the doors of the county hOspital
open to all cases requiring attention. The
present heat spell is no different from
an earthquake, insofar as the blameless-
ness OF the individual is concerned.
To refuse this treatment at the county
hospital, or to delay that treatment near
the danger point, is not what the people
of Imperial Valley want. Any self-re-
specting citizen would rather go down IN
his own pocket to meet expenses than TO
see a feIlow-human suffer from neglect.
Regulations pertaining to the county
hospital have been drawn up by the sup
ervisors. and the officials at the hospital
are bound by them. There should be
(and we believe there isl tolerance al
lowed them whereby they can use their
own discretion when an emergency arises
Members of the board of supervisors
have been heard to state that they Will
be criticized if they run up the expense
of the hospital They certainly Will BE-
MANY will criticize them. But do they
wish to 90 through life without critl-
cism? Aren't we all criticized, mlsun-
derstood and at times calumnateo
But should that stop US from remember
inp a fundamental law of humanity or
the parable of the Good Samaritan?
The supervisors and the hospital OIL
ciels are to be commended, and we mean
it sincerely for being solicitous for &C.
onomy in the hospital affairs but not at
the cost of sacrificing the principles
which make men different from dumb
animals.

And they curse the burglar alarm.
They never find any burglars.
An unprecedented volume of in
quires is overtaXing the telephone
facilities of the national recovery
administration. Nineteen trunk
telephones buzz constantly. Four
secret lines are in constant use. In
addition to these facilities a large
number of government lines COM
fmunicating with other federal de-
partments take care of inter- office
telephoning.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt found
one place in her two weeks in
cognito vacation in which she was
not recognized. That was the Gaspe
Peninsula in Canada. which Mrs.
Roosevelt neVr has visited before.
Citizens there were more inter
ested in her snappy blue roadster
than they were in her. She drove
around the whole Peninsula with
the top of the car down. Girl
reporters described her as very
brown" and greatly rested"
In its short life the federal radio
commission has become the most
itinerant of all government bureaus.
First it was housed in the old de-
| partment of commerce building.
Then in turn it was moved to the
interior building. the national press
building, back to the interior
building and then to an Obscure
structure down in what once was
known as "foggy bottom"
The next move will be to the
Union station where we will be
close to the outgoing freight cars"

as he unpacked for the fifth time.

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
STERN PENALTY JUSTIFIED

| EXPRESSING qualification over any
II ones death, actual or impending, Just
isn't done. L Is contrary to all the
ideals of civilization.
Even when it is the law that is to claim
a life, satisfaction with the decision is
difficult to express, especially so when
one is opposed to capital punishment on
general principles.
Nevertheless one cannot help feeling
and expressing the thought that there is
full justification for the verdict of a
Missouri Jury imposing the death pen
atty on Walter H. MCGee, convicted of
KIDNAPPING in the McElroy case at Kan
sas City.
This column has. on several occasions,
expressed the belief that there are GER
tain aspects connected with kidnapping
which make it a more heinous crime than
many murders for which the death pen
aJv is imposed. and developments in the
past few months have only served to
strengthen that belief.
kidnapping is committed only by those
WHO are cold-bloodedly cruel and callous
to the sufferingS of others. Men have
been hanged for murder, and according
to the law, justly so, when there was no
malice or murder in their hearts.
There are no mitigating circumstances
surrounding kidnapping which can right
" be used as plea for leniency to those
who are guilty of the crime. 1t is COM
mitted as the result of cool, deliberate
thought and reasoning, not motivated by
ary sudden impulse as may be the
case in many other crimes.
1t is pity that it is necessary to for
felt human lives in order to halt the
present outbreak of kidnapping outrages,
but it has become necessary and 1t Is
essential for the people to steel them
selves t the stern demands of justice
Nothing less than the fundamental law
of self-preservation warrants the ac-
ccptance of such an attitude.
It is unfortunate for McGee that his
life Is declared forfeit. 1t is even more
unfortunate that he learned no lesson
from Imprisonment for previous crime
He is the type that refuses to abide by
the laws which society has found essen
tial for its own protection. There are
many others like him and society must
protect itself from them even to the eX-
tent Of adopting what some may deem
extremely harsh and cruel measures.

Wornan's League
May Come Here

An Imperial Valley branch of
the National League of American
Pen Women may soon come into
existence as result of the efforts
of interested valley women who are
anxious to form a country group
affiliated with the national organi-
Zation.
Through the medium of the Press,
those in charge of organizing a
valley branch wish all women ell
gible for membership to communi-
cate with them if they are inter
ested in joining the organization.
Any woman born or naturalized
in the United States and who in
the past five years has been paid
for original work in any of the
following crafts, providing the work
is of a standard acceptable to the
national membership committee, is
eligible.

er, artist, composer of music, lect-
urerer, research worker, genealo-
gist, compiler or collaborater.
Advantages of belonging to the

dition, those in charge of organi-
zing the valley branch feel that
much of benefit will be derived
by association with women engaged
