ANOTHER SOUND STATE POLICY. ta —< HAT Judge Seabury says about prison reform is not lacking! in the definiteness and common sense that characterize other parts of his programme. “i do not approach the question of prison reform from a standpoint of sentimentality,” he declares. “I have been a Judge, however, and I have seon much of criminals. I do realize that the time has come for humane principles in prison administration.” “There is need for prison reform in this State, The prisous of the State are now in the hands of political rings.” Gov. Whitinan will find it difficult to disprove that charge or to| 1id himself of responsibility for the facts upon which it is based. One does not have to be an unqualified admirer of the theories of Thomas Mott Osborne to believe that most of the troubles of that enthusiastic, oversensitive reformer under the Whitman administra- tion have come, not from an official desire to make the most of Mr. Osborne’s many sound and sensible changes while restraining uch as ran to extremes, but rather from persistent effort to get Mr. Osborne altogether out of the way of a political prison clique with whose long established metiiods he seriously interfered. | Mr. Osborne accuses the Governor of having “broken every prom- ise he ever made to him.” With good reason for entertaining this! feeling toward Mr. Whitman, it is perhaps not to be wondered that a| soan of Mr, Osborne’s temperament could not continue to serve the State satisfactorily as Warden of Sing Sing. Under a sympathetic administration, with the prisons finally clear of politica, it might be that prison reform in this State could again have the benefit of Mr. Osborne's practical services and at the same time expect from that gentleman more obedience to authority and less impatience of criti- i Proves Nothing! cism than have so far characterized him as a public servant. Whatever becomes of Mr. r, Osborne, Judge Seabury’s position ia clear: As Governor of this State I shall see to it that the prisons of the State are conducted upon humane principles and that political or partisan consideration shall not be permitted to operate. .

DISPUTE over the distribution of earnings from an Oriental | restaurant in Pell Street reveala the fact, admitted by the treasurer, that the net profits of the place have been $20,000 | The Week’s T ae Protection } annually for the last three years. No bed showing for an eating establishment where prices aro modest and patrons only occasionally from the “spender” class. Chinese cooks are as thrifty and economical as they are clever. Ous- tomers rarely find fault with Chinese dishes. Yet Broadway resteu- rant keepers might well marvel over the small cost with which first-| ¢¢ class Chinese viands are prepared. The agreement under which fourteen Chinamen launched this} pouisvite restaurant is an intereating document, , It declares: Hereafter we will be one. We will be one in mind and one im heart to watch our success and be cautious to that and tm order to develop one achievement. For to-day we have found @ way to make money.

They must keep peace among themselves These are the right ways to success in money making. Assuredly they are.
