POWER OF PERSONALITY.
Prison Reforms Should BE Discussed
at Albany, Not Ossining.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Per-
init me to direct a word of inquiry to
our erudite disciple Charles II. johnson,
whose words, "Becker's Death a State
Murder" appeared in TIL SUN.
Why should Mr.. Johnson make a con-
tidant and a friend Of a nan who's ig-
noiainious death he was to effect and
superintend at some later time? And
why does he accept a salary for work
he doesn't approve?
The deputy warden seems to hold his
duties to the people of New York State
very cheaply, since he befriends and
accepts the confidence of a man con-
victed Of the most serious charge. Isn't
Mr.. Johnson more influenced by senti-
ment than by a searching study Of
crtminology? His statements do not
prove anything tangible or logical, and
his very words lead one to believe that
he may have = been obsessed with the
attachments II availabilities OF Becker.
A special aspect Of substance known as
personality may prove n very influencing
and dangerous agent to the ordinary
mind having yet To learn a great les
son taught by exercise in philosophic
studies.
As for any scientific reasons the Dep
uty Warden may entertain relative to
the pathological or physiological action
capital punishment may have on the
Criminal mind. or the moral influence it
may rave on the community. | would
suggest that the proper place to present
such reasons would be at tie State Capt.

Ossining. GEORGE WHITTIER.

An Unpleasant Reminder From the
summer CAPITAL.

The Secretary Of the Treasury was
reported yesterday as saying at Corn
ish. New Hampshire: THE Demo
cratic party is pledged to provide an
adequate merchant marine for the
United States. The need for more
ships under American registry is
being shown more and more every
day" Thus Mr.. MCADoo.
This sort of talk from this source
is either incredibly impudent or in
credibly crafty. Addressed to the
American people at this time, the Ut
terance Is a startling and unpleasant
reminder.
1t is impudent to accost American
business men with talk Of providing
an adequate fleet of merchant ships
when those we had have been driven
to the shelter of alien registry. As a
move in the Government ownership
game. these remarks Of the Secre-
tary's are 70 crafty they fall on their
face. 1t Is to be hoped there Is no
administrative significance in the fact
that they were made "after a morn
ing conference" with the President.

Manhattan Waits.

Father kNICKERBoCKER Is noted for
the quality and generous measure OF
his hospitality. and no reputation for
virtue was ever better deserved. 1t
will be a disappointment TO him to
learn that the promised official visit
(not threatened inqulsitorial vista
tion) Of the Hon. ELoN II. Brown
has been postponed again.
The Senator and his shining reti-
u were expected to wind the horn
at Gotham's gates in July. Then the
grand entry was put of to the sec
ond day of August. Now 1t Is again
deferred, in consideration OF the heats
Of midsummer. Has the of
this settlement as a summer resort
never reached the ears of u estl-
mable friends from up the State?
And does not the Senator, whose
shadow heralds him so far in ad-
vance, does he not know that the pro-
traction of anticipation Is a detrac-
ton from the joys Of realization?
However. both the city administration
that Is to be investigated" and the
$4,000 appropriated for the purposes
Of the Investigators will keep.
Is the Senator quite wise in giving
the arch rascals mitchell and Nc
ANENY time to cover the trail Of their
iniquities?

The boomerang Straw Hat.

Genius knows no seasons. This Ia
exempllfed In the invention, as re-
ported. Of a boomerang straw hat
when the season Of cereal headgear
Is near the point Of beginning to wane.
The inventor Is said to be a COnnecti-
cut a Of an ingenious turn Of mind,
who, however. has done nothing else
noteworthy in the way Of invention
except the devising Of a shoe for the
n legged trade that fits the right
foot with one side out and the left foot
when turned the other side out.
As its name indicates the boone
rang straw hat is designed to return
to the head Of the owner or there.
about at the close Of its flight in a
stiff puff Of wind, in the suction Of a
passing automobile or in any other
atmospheric disturbance. 1t Is as
certained that after the hat has turned
the apex of the loop its return Is not
retarded but Is accelerated, as is the
soaring Of an eagle, by the pressure
Of the adverse current.
From the meagre descriptions at
hand It Is gathered that the brim Of
the boomerang hat Is so fastened that
when the hat leaps free from the
head of the wearer the wind current
gives it the whirling motion impaired
to the boomerang as It leaves the
hand of the Australian tribesman. The
brim Is said to he bent somewhat in
the shape Of a right hand two blade
marine propeller wheel OF about four.
teen inches diameter and eighteen
degrees pitch. On leaving the head
Of the wearer the hat scars away,
revolving horizontally for a greater
or less distance, according to the i'm
petus, poises for a moment at the
extremity of the loop and returns to
it's owners head or TO a point within
his easy reach.
Many advantages are claimed for
the new boomerang straw hat. The
most conspicuous perhaps Is the elimi-
nation OF the perils incident to cha =
ing the ordinary summer hat as 1t
skates along the asphalt of the ave
nue. under the chassis Of droves OF
automobiles coming and going. Had
the MANNED victim OF such a pursuit
been wearing a boomerang hat he
would have stood still where 1t left
him and perchance would have oc.
cupied himself with rolling and light.

We have tended toward a protective

Governor with BIRD out Of the run
ming. Exactly why Republicans should
be attracted to the man who aban-
doned their party only TO quit the
Democratic party when 1t had served
his purpose only Foss himself could
explain. The reason he gives Is that
as the exponent OF the Mckinley pol
icy of tariff regulation he has been
the real leader of the true Repub-
lican idea in Massachusetts," BY this
time the Republican voters must
have forgotten what tariff policy Mr..
MCKINLEY advocated at Buffalo, and
they will be inclined to think that
dust is being thrown in their eyes,
There is no doubt Of It, for in the
next breath Brother Foss Is pitching
into the Hon. SAMUEL MCCALL and
Northumberland CUSHING for
"their refusal to stand for national
prohibition"
The Republican Judgment upon the
antics of the Ex-Governor will be that
he is capable Of a great deal Of mis-
chief. although he acknowledges no
allegiance to any party. To the Dem
ocrats his announcement that he will
be a candidate for the Republican
nomination must bring cheer.

barous," but that such ~accoun as ap-
peared in the papers of Friday and

of such minutle To IA sensation loving
public is what makes the System, neCcs-
sary and logical in itself, appear bar
barous. 1t is what casts the system in
the minds of people scntimontally in

into i'll repute. Mr.. Johnson favors the
only evil connected with the system as
IA means of roofing out the system
itself.
The only objection TO capital pun
ishment, as administered in this State.
is the publication of hidcous and dis
gusting details concerning executions.
In no other civilized country on the
globe to-day would such reports he per-
mitted, either by law or by public opiu-
inon. to appear in the public prints. 1t
is surprising that there is no law in

THE ORDUNA CASE.
Call From an Eminent Jurist for the
Dudley Field Malone Report.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir:
Some time ago we read a narrative
concerning the steamship Orduna; IL
came from British sources n was
not sworn to by any one. At that time
a Lusitania letter was son the stocks,
the Administration very wisely de-
cided to investigate the story. and
every one acquiesced in this being
done; no one bothered about making
further Inquiries then. The news
papers informed us that the investiga-
ton was confded to Mr.. Dudley Field
Malone. Collector of the Port. and
later that he had completed 1t and
forwarded affidavits to Washington.
That was some weeks ago. Meanwhile
the Lusitania letter was slipped of the
stocks and crossed the sea: the last,
let us hope, in a correspondence which
at one time looked as If 1t might con-
tinue during the war" Now may we
not know the result Of MIR. Malone's
Investigation?
If it shows the fact to be that a
submarine fired a shot across the or
dumas bow to bring her to and tina
subsequent proceedings resulted from
her failure to heed that well recog-
nlzed warning Of the sea-, 1t seems
hardly fair to the Germans not to dis
close the fact If on the contrary what
happened was that the submarine dis
charged a torpedo at the Orduna with
out warning and that the incident diff
fered from hat of the Lusitania only
In the two particulars % that the
craftsmanship was poor and 90 that
the Orduna, an unarmed passenger
steamer. was bound away from Eng
land for this port with no munitions
Of war aboard; then may We not be
allowed to know this?
IL there be a third alternative; II
the Administration, emulating the ex-
ample OF the belligerent countries, has
concluded that, so far as II can. IL will
let us be informed only of such mat
ters as 1t thinks we ought to know,
the may We not he informed OF such
conclusion? II seems a new departure,
because u statesmen and our SPELL
binders are continually telling us that
the "peepul" of this country can al
ways be trusted to do the right thing
under all circumstances.
For the qualification of our. per-
haps idle, curiosity 1t may be hoped
that when Congress does meet, one
house or the other will call for the
Malone report. Meanwhile, II some
enterprising Journal, like your wi
would apply in the proper quarters to
be allowed to copy and publish such
report, we might have some %enlighten-
ment. If the request were refused,
n might make a reasonably accurate
guess at what the report discloses.
