IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
THE ENGLISH WAY

There have been instances in this
country where such high personality as
mayor, governor, or perhaps a con-
gresham or senator has been sent to Jail
for a crime, but they are few and far
between, not necessarily because they
have done no wrong but because influ-
ence often prevents those who are guilty
of law infractions from being punished
for them.
The thought is emphasized by dis
patches today from England, telling of
the sentencing of the Duke of Manchester
to prison for fraud.
The duke, the ninth in his line, was
charged with taking jewelry which be-
longed to his late mother and pawning
It, after representing it as his own. The
crown contended the iewelry was the
property of the trustees of his mothers
estate, and succeeded in convicting him
of the charge.
There was nothing about an appeal
probation and all the delays which are
frequently encountered in American
court cases. The judge apparently didn't
make any bones about having a duke be-
fore him as a prisoner, and treated him
as any other man would have been in
similar circumstances. The duke was
ordered to Jail, forthwith, and went.
This lesson in justice should be food
for thought by Californians. 1t is not
difficult to recall the length of time it
took to send certain group of oil COM
pany executives, guilty of swindling
many thousands of dollars, to state pris-
on, nor the speed with which they were
released on parole. Their case is only
one of a long list that could be recited.
We read frequently of the low percent
age of crime in the British Isles as con-
trasted with our own high record in the
United States. The reason is not diff
cult to find. In England the law is the
law; in this country it is something for
clever attorneys to shoot full of techni-
cal holes

WASHINGTON. April 10.-An
embarrassing thing has happened
at the national zoo.
The animals, as befit the wards
of nation, receive only the best
and most scientific of care.
Directors of the zoo try to re-
produce the natural habitat Of the
animals as closely as possible SO
that they may always be in fine
health and spirits.
In line with this policy the ZOO
recently has been to some expense
building an artificial mountain. 1t
was a private mountain, especially
for the use of herd of rare goats.
Today it looked as though any
one with a special desire for a we'll
constructed mountain, had better
apply to the national ZOO. The
chances are that the mountain 10
YER could satisfy his ambition at
no great expense,
The goats, it developed, either
don't care for mountain climbing
or don't know how to go about it.
At any rate all they do is stand
clustered together, looking some
times silly and sometimes sad, and
gaze at the unscaled heights.
The old doctrine that haste
makes waste has not been entire
ly discarded even in these speedy
times. So the state of Delaware
has just demonstrated to the sat
isfaction of the state department.

FEATURES
TO THE CLUB WOMEN

Observing the 25th anniversary of the
imperial County Federation of Women's
clubs, representative women from all
parts OF the valley are meeting in Ell
Centre today
Not to extend congratulations to the
club women of the valley on this oeeas-
ION would be to overlook moral and
civic obligation that could hardly be for
given. Seven clubs and over 600 women
members are represented in the county
federation which in turn is affiliated
with the state and national federation.
Imperial Valley owes much to its club
women. A few short-sighted persons
who picture the club women as devoting
their time to the bridge table and the
gossip of afternoon tea, often to the de-
triment Of their own families. not only
do the club women great injustice but
display their own ignorance of true con-
ditionS.
While the bridge and tea table may
have their proper place, the club women
give much time at their meetings to open
discussions on local, state and national
problems to the end that they may be
better informed on them and better
equipped to aid in their solution. From
time to time they have induced nation
al leaders to come here to address them
broadening their minds and acquainting
them with the civic responsibilities which
should be an accepted duty of every good
citizen.
In the % years of the federations ex-
istence, there is no doubt, if one could
check back, that many of the movements
having the moral and civic welfare of
Imperial Valley communities as their
objective, had their origin in women's
clubs discussions.
The old fable that woman's place was
IN the home has passed into the discard
Without sacrificing any of their domes-
tic duties women have learned that it is
possible to rear children and care for
their families and at the same time take
opment of this nation. It is we'll for the
nation that this is so, for to ignore fem
lnlne intelligence as it once was, is to ig-
more valuable asset to any people or
any group, be it large or small.
Under the capable direction of Mrs. R.
L. Glasby, president of the federated
clubs for the past two years, the organ
ization has reached a high peak in men,
bership and in the efficiency of its work
1t is happy occasion for her fellow
club members throughout the valley that
woman of her remarkable ability and
such worthy successor to the fine wonl-
en- who have preceded her is their leader
on the occasion of the silver jubilee
The Press wish for the club women of
the valley is little selfish-it is that
their good work may continue and ex-
pand, thereby making it better Imper-
ial Valley.
