IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
OUR PAROLE SYSTEM

Granting a parole to Clara Phillips,
notorious hammer slayer" is one of
the many acts of the state parole board
which have served to put that organiza-
ton into bad repute with many law abid-
ing citizens throughout the state.
She will be eligible for release on June
II, 1885, when she will have completed
II years in prison. Sentenced to serve
from 10 years to life, the same board
(not however as regards personneD
which now grants her parole, had set
the time she must serve at 80 years.
One of the conditions of her parole is
that it will continue for six years, after
which, If she has behaved herself, she
will be released from the jurisdiction
OF the state. Actually she will serve
less than half of the sentence imposed
upon her. Counting in the six year pa
role period she will have been under
state jurisdiction only slightly more
than the halfway period of her sentence.
Her CRIME was particularly cold
blooded and atrocious one and it has nev-
er been proved satisfactorily that the
young woman whom she killed was ever
guilty OF Wrong-doing with the slayers
husband. Following her conviction, and
while awaiting transportation to state
prison, she escaped from the Los Angeles
Jail and was at liberty for months be-
fore being captured in Honduras and re-
turned.
During her stay in prison she has been
twice punished for infraction of prison
rules, though the state parole board
points out that she gained credits by
her work as a dental assistant.
Our complaint against her parole is
not directed against her personally as
much as 1t is against the system which
prevails. The law-abiding citizen reads
where some hardened criminal has had
his prison term set at 80 years by the
state parole board and inwardly con-
graduates himself on having men hand
ling affairs of the state who know how
to deal with the criminal element To
him 30 years means 30 years. 1t doesn't
mean thing to the parole board, how
ever.
There isn't man sentenced to prison
Tor lie In this state who doesn't figure
on getting out in 10 years or less and a
great many of them figure correctly.
We have at least one instance in this
county where murder was committed
by man who had been sentenced for
life for murder in another county, but
was freed after serving eight years.
Few of our major criminals have no
previous prison record, on the contrary
the records show many of them paroled
before the maximum of their terms are
served.
Granting the odds favor Clara Phil
lips not killing anyone else or getting
into serious difficulty, releasing her on
parole is a distinct encouragement to
the criminally inclined to take
chance" figuring that if they are caught
it won't be SO bad anyhow. That is the
real danger Of our parole system as it
now operates.

EDITORIAL PAGE
and
FEATURES
WE HAVE REFORMED

We've reformed. and we invite fellow
editors of the valley to join with us in
hitting the sawdust trail toward reforma-
ton, believing it will be good for our
souls, our peace of mind and the welfare
of Imperial Valley.
AT intervals in the past few months
we have headlined, publicized and edi-
torialized various activities of the Amer
lean Civil Liberties Union. Our fellow
editors of the valley have done the
same.
The result has been that the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union has received
reams and reams and reams of publici-
ty, not only in valley papers but in pa
pers throughout the state and the ma
tion and considerable harm has been
done to Imperial Valley. In this we have
only been playing into the hands of the
American Civil Liberties Union. There
is nothing the American Civil Liberties
Union likes more than publicity, unless
it be the opportunity to pose as a mar
tyred group willing to bleed and die if
necessary, for the rights of the Com
munists.
When it made its entry into the valley
some months ago, we wondered if, after
all, it might not have something worth
while to teach US. Not wishing to be
taught Communism, we decided in the
negative. We were willing to treat its
representatives with respect, and even
the notorious Mr. A. l.. Wirin, one of
the outstanding martyrs of the A. G. l..
T., received only courtesy, consideration
and tolerance in this office
But we can't promise as much in the
future. The A. c. L. U. will charge us
with prejudice and worse, but we don't
care hoot. We have bit of respect for
the Cannery and Agricultural Workers
Industrial Union, whose cause the Amer
lean Civil Liberties Union champions,
for the c. and A. w. |. U. openly admits
its Communistic aims and ideals We
know where it stands The A. c. L. L.
is 'straddler." 1t is willing to be red"
to the radicals but wants to be white
to the rest of the world. And how its
members can whine!
Our reformation consists of this. No
more headlines, no more long publicity
yarns, no more naturalization of the
American Civil Liberties Union. If the
organization happens to figure in the
news we'll handle it as briefly as possi-
BILE commensurate with sufficient infor-
nation for our readers.
We're plumb fed up on the American
Civil Liberties Union. The time of the
year is approaching when it is necessary
to conserve ones energy, and even writ
out of ones strength and mental equip
ment
We're through No longer are we GO
ing to be used as publicity agents for
the 'parlor pinks."

Crosby and Wildly VS. Gem
trail and Harding To-day
in Bridgeport

Bridgeport, Jan 16-Waterbury
will send both its high school teams
to Bridgeport to-day to battle
Harding and Central In Nauga-
tuck Valley League games. Wildly
clashes with the Presidents at
three o'clock this afternoon while
Crosby opposes Central at $3.50 to-
night.
Both Park City quintets will en-
ter the games favored to turn back
the Brass City representatives al
though interesting competition
should be In store for local fans.
The feature tussle brings Crosby
and Central together. Crosby 10 the
strongest team In Waterbury and
Central has shown more power
than Harding. The Hiiltoppers are
defending their Valley league
crown and thus far have been
making a good try Of it..
Crosby may extend the Reilly
men, however as Coach Billy Scho-
fields lads have displayed power in
several games. The Blue and White
turned back Naugatuck In as i'm
pressive fashion as did Central
winning Al to 90. Torrington was
forced to go into an overtime per-

Central will have the advantage
in height over Crosby and Johnny
Shick should be able to jump Bar

the ball in its possession at the
start of most Of the plays, the West
Side five will be hard to beat.
Harding will be expected to hand
Wildly q good trimming here. Coach

clubs this season and Wildly has
been beaten by Ansonia, consider.
