COLBY (Illinois Chamber of Commerce) Parole board reforms are being an- nounced. It has been no uncommon sight for from 500 to 600 persons to gather at an Illinois state prison parole board meeting, all anxious to be heard. There has been chaos and confusion, much excitement. "There will be no more public hear- ings of cases unless the case has been set for hearing in advance," says Hin- ton G. Clabaugh, of Winnetka, new head of the prison parole board. "Imagine a court opening its day with- out a docket and letting the public pour in crying to be heard. "It isn't orderly and it isn't right. It doesn't mean justice. Every case to be heard in the future must be set in advance on the docket. As it has been a veritable rabble has poured in, women with babies, wives and mothers, 1926 SEPTEMBER 1926 2 SVN MUN TVE WED THV FRI SAT ka 12 13 1415 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 day.

But you will Moving into a hotel? ' WR] poor people whose time means sacri- fice. At a recent meeting woman, 86 years old, sat and wept. "People have come to the board meetings, mostly women who couldn't afford it probably, and many have stayed around for four or five days. That means expense and lost time. It is going to be changed. Not only for the above reasons but because it is the only way to have all the facts in the case made clear. Only by this method can all persons interested be heard." Mr. Clabaugh discussed a few other things. He said: Aiding the Paroled Man "Mailing final discharges to pris- oners is going to be stopped. A form letter at a time like that is cold. If there ever was a time in a man's life when he needed a little human warmth and friendship it is when he is getting his prison parole papers. "Someone who is trained to talk to such men, someone who has real skill in "handling such matters, should do it. He should build his talk around sonie thought like this, 'You are going to be paroled. © You have earned it. The state is doing this for you. The state is your friend. You have obli- gations to the state and society. See that you so carry on that the state will remain your friend.' "Putting a touch .of human kindness into the business at the proper moment is much better than a cold letter that has no feeling in it." Mr. Clabaugh was asked about his policy in the matter of re-paroling men who violated their paroles. He re- plied: "There will be no mercy for violators or escapes." We turned back to the subject of politics and politics has always been the curse of the prison system. Crook- ed politicians grow fat on getting criminals in their power. A certain School Days School days are soon here which means both work and play for the youngsters. Order an extta bottle or two of milk so they may have plenty of the proper nourishment. Keep Plenty one old | type of lawyer grows prosperous when he has proper contacts with criminals and can make them hop to his music. Mr. Clabaugh remarked: Stop "Crime Manufacturing" "If some official or judge or state's attorney or other person comes down and busies himself about some burglar we will ask him, "What is your name? What is your interest in this man?' And we will ask him a lot more ques- tions and it will go into the record, taken by a court reporter. I think that'll stop some of them. "And something else--it is an out- standing crime to send young men and boys to places where they mix with hardened criminals. There are many far too young in Joliet and many far too old in Pontiac. To put boys where they mingle with hardened criminals is nothing more than manufacturing more criminals. Some day the people in Illineis will forbid more than one person to a cell or prison room. "We have in most instances two and sometimes three men in a cell. Some day we've got to change that. For one thing it means that buddies in prison become buddies when they're out and as a rule that means trouble. Cites Needed Reforms "It also means a lot of other things including the breaking up of morals. Prison work has a large number of problems. It is time that the public knew more about its prisons. "The importance of the subject can- not be exaggerated. That the people of Illinois when acquainted with the facts will remedy the evils and take a live personal interest in this im- portant problem having to do with the protection and welfare of society I have not the slighest doubt." Pathos and pleas of poverty have long been twin appeals in gaining free- dom for convicts. Regarding this Mr. Clabaugh said: "Many of the wives, children and relatives are in extreme distress and want but it is better for society that the proper county authorities maintain members of the family than to release a convicted criminal. It is cheaper in the end to support the dependents than to release a criminal if charity is the sole object of appeal." New Laid EGGS Fresh daily by parcel post or express.
