Whitman means to use prison wardenships to build up a faithful cohort of the Old Guard will win him favor from few save those who expect the plums. A ealary of $3,500, house, servante, automobile and travelling expenses no doubt look like a good thing to plenty of henchmen! who command votes. But the people of this State have learned of late to regard a prison warden as something more than @ man who collects pay for appearing to be in charge of a prison. ‘Thomas Mott Osborne slowed them a new kind of warden and set new standarde tor the job. Not every warden can do for a prison what Mr. Osborne has done for Sing Sing. But the public is convinced that the duties of the position are not primarily politica! and that being a good poli- tician is a very long way indeed from being a good warden. Furthermore there is a section of the Prisons Law of this State which expressly provides: No appointment shal! be made In any of the State prisons of this State on the grounds of political partleanehip, but hon- esty, capacity and adaptation alall constitute the rule of ap: pointment, and any violation of thie rule shull be sufficient for the removal from office of the officer committing wich violation, This provision was meant to apply to the State Prison eyetom throughout, from top to bottom. It 1s difficult to see how Superin- tendent Carter or the Governor himerlf can ignore the plain intent with which this part of the Prisons Law was framed, When Gov. Whitman removed Kiley from the office of Superin tendent of Prisons he had « chance to make prison reform one of the, strongest assets of hie administration, which ucede a etraighiforward, mora] issue. Je he going to throw it away? “IF THEY PAY, WHY THEN”—— NDER the above headline the Port Chester Daily Item, orgar of Boss Ward's Westchester County political maciune, en at the people of this city and rejotces that, while the Mohan tic Hoepital and the TI the Croton watershed, the matter is “not to be adjusted in th that the New York City interesi: have been question of reimbursement will not be eliminated.” “The bluster of the great city told, “ha nor in the least alarmed the representatives of Westchester County.” “The ‘settlement’ of the vexed question seems to have great!y pleased the New York interests, who are already con gratulating themscives on a victory not yet acoumplished Later, when the cutting of the ple docs not turn out to be as generous as expeoted by New York City, there will be another ‘holler’. That is the way the “vexed question ate to be forced to drink sewage-tainted water presents itself to the Westchester political mind: Kither they drink it and be damned to them or they pay and pay well to be left unpoisoned.
