Of authority between the foreign COM

large squadron logically having prets'-
dence, and the international feet Is
strong enough in Its landing forces to
dominate the situation at Tampico.
The combatants must fight according
to rules laid down by the Admirals for
the safety Of nationals. Thus the Mex
lean gunboats have been notified not to
shell the town under penalty of being
blown out Of the water IL the order is
disregardcd.
The pressing business of the naval
commanders Is to give protection to
refugees during the fighting. and In
this good work Admiral MAYO will play
the most prominent part. II will also
fall to him to decide whether marines
shall be landed, aud II the contending
forces are as well matched rs they

obstinate. the order will have to be

encc but q PenOIOgtst.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS--ST: The
resignation OF James j. Clancy as warden
of Sing Sing prison Is an event that mas,
for several reasons, unusual significance
MIR. Clancy has stated with great caiidor
the reasons that induced him to resign
The principal reason was his lack OF ex-
perence and consequent ignorance OF the
work to be done. He says: The war
den should be selected from among the
keepers or others who have had large
amount of experience There is noting
more ridiculous than the selection OF IA
man like myself who has had no such
experience"
This statement. so frankly made. does
honor to Mr. Clancy and 1t conveys a
valuable message to the public. "A warm
heart and large brain alone do not
qualify man to fill the wardensh'p. OF
prison. Tho administration of prison
must be governed III this modern age upon
the principles established by the science
of penulOgy. The proper treatment OF
prisoners requires an acquaintance with
those methods and agencies which have
been proved by scientific experiment to
be most efrectual in reforming and re-
facilitating the prisoners. No warden
can administer a prison with success I'M
less he has scientific knowledge of what
has been developed and accomplished
through tho studies and experience OF the
great leaders in prison reform; and such
scientific knowledge can be acquired
and practically applied only by personal
experience IN dealing with prisoners.
There are to-day ip the prisons Of this
state men who have had long experience
as guards or in other subordinate posts
who possess both the scientific knowledge
and the executive ability qualifying them
b to I'LL with success the office of warden
of Sing Sing prison 1t is earnestly hoped
that the candidates for the vacancy may
be selected from some such competent
source of supply.
! But besides scientific knowledge, ability
, and experience. there Is another condi-
ton absolutely essential to success In ad-
ministering any prison. As "A warden should
be selected without the slightest regard
to his political affiliations, he should also
/ have free hand in dscharglng his duties
unhampered by political influences. Poll
| tics constitutes the greatest obstacle en-
! countered by every movement for prison
/ reform. So long as the appointment OF
| prison officials and their retention In office
are dependent upon political favor or in1u'
! ence IL is hopeless to look for improve
| ment In prison systems or any measures
| Of reform. The infusion of politics into
our prisons can never be prevented except
by the force OF united public opinion
"A consensus strong enough to condemn
and drive out OF public service every per
son who participates In the appointment
or removal of any prison officer for merely
political ends in order to confer favor
or promote expedience.
