NeD Warden Expected
To Be Named At "Cut"
Continued from Page 1


Monday by Miss Myrtle Landlord.
daughter of the Warden. In all the
controversies and Investigations of
the "Cut," the work Of Miss Landlord
has always been highly praised, and
her efficiency as accountant has been
a subject Of the sincere approval by
the experts on survey.
Due to this it was thought she
might have greater influence in bring
ing about the retention of her father
in office, than if the usual political
pressure We're brought to bear.
Miss Landlord also had a confer
ence with Emory L. Coblentz, Director
Of Welfare, but there is no indication
that either the Governor or Mr.. Cob
!entz encouraged her in the belief that
her father would be re-appointed.
The fact that Mr.. Landlord has held
The office for so many years, seems to
BE- evidence in his favor that his work
has been we'll performed. The main
objection to him is apparently one not
of special fitness for the immediate
duties of the place, but because he is
rot learned professor of the deep
and exalted science of Penalogy. His
education is against him. He is not
capable of taking the platform and
lecturing to that noble body of hui
rnanity, temporarily located at Jes-
sups, and instilling into them some Of
the principles Of a high and upright
life. Then if they do not see fit to
adopt his teachings, he can infiict pun
.shments in a way and manner author
lied and recommended by the latest
Investigations along the line of
scientific inquiry in the subject aboo"
mentioned.
Mr.. Landlord can not becomingly
sit in the judges chair, and sentence
an offending criminal according to the
special rules and regulations of Pen
alogy. He might test the toughness
of their hides sometimes more eff
fective way Of reaching their sensi-
bilities. But this is not Penalogy.
Therefore some one else must be Sc
cured.
There are four active candidates
hut at present it appears that the ono
most likely to be chosen from the foui
is Clyde E. McClintock, assistant
Superintendent Of the Maryland
Training School for Boys at Loeb
Raven. Mr.. McClintock came to Mary
land eight years ago from Ohio where
ne was a Major in the National Guard.
For the eight years he has been ar
the Loeb Raven institution, where h.:
has had charge of discipline.
The other candidates are: Augustus
Howard, of Howard county; Ray
Campbell, Of Baltimore city, and Sid
ney w. Brewster of New York City.
The salary of the position is fixed in
the budget at $4,000 a year with house
rent and other extras thrown in, MAX
ing the place one Of the most desirable
under the State Government.
