N inquiry into the workings of the mind of Deputy Commis- sioner of Correction Wright ought to prove useful for his own future guidance and for other public servants with similar responsibilities. Mr. Wright has made a singular mistake. ‘The public hopes that fact will be pointed out to him with clearness and without mincing words. Nobody has any animosity toward Mr. Hyde. The courts have dealt with him. The courts may be trusted to continue to give all due consideration to his rights and wrongs. What everybody wonld like to know {s this: By what right does an officer of correction ect himself up to supersede a fudge and fury in determining the statue of s convicted man? The epectacie of « Deputy Commissioner of Oorrection receiving a prisoner etraight from the hands of « court and jury that heve found him gufity, end forthwith coddling «nd comforting him with special privileges and luxuries becanse, foreooth, he, the Deputy Commissioner, heppens to have made np his mind that the prisoner is innocent and therefore to be treated ne an| honored guest, would be diverting were it not in every way shocking. A favorite opera-bouffe of our grandfathers represented a model jail wherein favored prisoners in blue velvet knickerbockers emerged from eatin-lined cells to carol aries into the ear of their indulgent jailer. Mr. Wright may have been carried away by the idea of 4 comic opera Tombs. It is to be hoped thet a way will be found to bring him back to the profer side of the footlights and to make him realize that in his treatment of his prisoners his personal enthusinsm and preferences have nothing whatever to do with his plain duties. RORY Sees SPEECHLESS DINING. T would be interesting to have honest and exact reports as to the real success of the Speechless Dinner idea inaugurated by tho Tennessee Society at {te annual banquet the other night. The one hundred and fifty Tennesseeans and their friends sat down to- gether sworn to abstein from all oratory. A etereopticon threw the toasts ona ecreen and the diners ltfted their glasses in silence. Now the vital question is this: Did the relief of not having to listen compensate for the agony of not being able to speak? For every man there comes « moment toward the end of a public dinner when the music of a few well-chosen words from his own lips is tho | Such Is Ik ll one thing in the world that can make him quite happy. Will any- thing ever take the place of the thrill thet comes with the modest glance adown one’s nose while the toast-master is ing: “Friends, we have with us to-night—"? We admire the Ténnessee Society for its superb ideal of self- sacrifice and abnegation. But we fear {t is too herole for mortals. Your true banquetteer will endure “reluctant and totally unprepared remarks” from everybody elee present rather than forego his own. FA AGELESS THE COMING WORM. F the angleworm can be taught to think, as a Harvard professor [ of psychology maintains, how long before the creature will be finding out that he is of all living things the most downtrodden and the laet to “turn”? This professor, sccoriing to the Tribune, hes with diabolical cunning invented a worm-enlightener, consisting of @ glass dish with two dark holes leading out of it. An angleworm wil always crew! into a dark place. But while one of the holes con- tains only friendly earth, the other fs fitted with a mild electric | battery which shocks the worm when he pokes himeclf in. ‘The poefessor announces that now whenever he puts his particular prize weum into the dish the pupf, after due reflection, invariably starts ofdn the direction of the earth hole! fhe meaning of thie discovery is only top plain. We must re- efjet our eas. Orawling on the belly in the dust is not the low- state theeuthorities gave us to understand. Society hap tte toward the worm. Presently somebody will tell us what fay are. Education will be the least of them.
