The club women of the state have
interested themselves in the reappoint-
ment of Warden Codding, OF the state
Penitentiary at Lansing. The women
are interested in civil service reform,
and the clubs, through the depart
ment of civil service reform and in
dustrial and social welfare, are ask
ing that the warden be retained in
office A letter from the president
of the state federation, Mrs. Fanny
Atkinson, has been addressed TO the
club women, and is as follows:
MANY letters have come to the
presidents desk within the last few
days from thoughtful, conservative
women, regardless of party utilization,
asking if it would not be permissible,
consistent and appropriate that the
club women of Kansas, acting under
! the policy of our department of civil
service as applied to the state insti-
| buttons and also under the depart
ment of industrial and social welfare,
for our women to express to Governor
Hodges their appreciation of the work
of Warden Codding of the state penl-
Tertiary at Lansing and request ms re-
tention there as warden.
This is in accordance with the doc
trine which we have been advocating
for many years-that our institutions
for the erring, the afflicted and the de-
pendent shall be held free from purely
political administration, and that
where experts are in charge and in
service they shall not be removed or
displaced except for cause, for some
incompetency of INSTRUMENTATION or
where an opportunity offers to secure
the services of those who are proved
more capable.
THE work of Warden Codding in
the Kansas penitentiary has attracted
attention from the students of peaalogy
throughout the country and his man
ner and methods of discipline, sani-
tation and Industrial conduct of the
institution have proved his advanced
and practical knowledge of his work.
1T is eninently becoming that the
women of Kansas make this their first
exercises of the real citizenship they
now possess, consistent with their pre-
expressed purpose of living above par
tisanship in these special particulars
Therefore it is deemed proper that
our club women, regardless of party
allegiance express to Governor-elect
Hodges at once by personal letter or
by resolution or petition, their wish
that he retain Warden Codding.
