Catalogue on request. lllinoia Chamber of Commerce Writer Describes Cbaracteriatica of Parole Chairman Editor's note: Lester B. Colby, director publicity for the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, is writing a series of articles concerning the new state parole board of which Hinton G. Clabaugh of Winnetka, is chairman. In the accompanying article Mr. Colby sites some of Mr. Clabaugh's characteristics and qualifications for his new and important task. Other stories will follow. ot By LESTER B. COLBY (Illinois Chamber of Commerce) "The one most important thing in civilization is the protection of life and property. Without it you haven't got any civilization. Times have changed in Illinois." The man who said that to me has power to turn loose upon Illinoisians several thousand criminals-or keep them in the prisons where they belong. He. has more power over the lives of more men than am· man in all America except, perhaps,~ the president of the United States and two or three governors. "You may say that a new day has come," he said to me, rather simply. . 'rhe man is Hinton G. Clabaugh, new chtef of the state prison parole board. Under the law he, and no other man, has the power to parole a prisoner when he has served his "minimum." When a man who has been sentenced to prison from one year to life has ·served one year he can turn him loose if he wants to and no man can stop him. Almoat Unlimited Power · He has the power to nullifv the work of the Supreme Court of the United States, the Supreme Court of Illinois ' mous club for pohttcs or gam or mtrigue if held in . crooked or weak hands. This amazing power developed an odor that smelled to heaven in IJlinois in r-ecent months. The stench was so terrific that it forced its own cleansing. This story that I am writing brings information of enormous importance to the people of Illinois. In its effect upon the business and life of the state I believe it the biggest story of the day. I mean just that and I am confident now that : "The public is going to get a square deal." Mr. Clabaugh made that promise to me. I have known Hinfon G. Clabaugh for a long time. · He was sixteen vears in Government service, mostly handling crooks and criminals and trailing them down. He served under five presidents. Roosevelt, Taft. Wilson. Harding and Coolidge. During the World war he was head of the department of Justice in Chicago. His division covered Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. He ended up as chairman of the secret service war board and so was head of all such co-ordinated work here. He ranked as lieutenant in the navy for four years. He and a few others originated and organized the "A.P.L." of wartime fame. Had Herculean T aak During the World war circumstances fixed it so that I used to see Hinton G. Clabaugh almost every day. He had a job of amazing ramifications and multitudinous contacts then. Yet I never knew that he ever doublecrossed a single man. He has three qualities, amazing energy, immaculate honesty and superlative guts. I know that once when a powerful Last Call for August Prices · I.
