would lay with the parents. Without

had exercised no control over the child

and with no regard for the rights of
others. Graduating from homes where
there was no discipline and from
course of idleness and loafing on the
streets, the descent into crime is easy.

Preventative of Crime.
1t is an unquestiOnable fact that i1
those stages of civilization where pun
ishments have been most arbitrary
most swift and horrible, there has al
ways been the greatest amount of the
worst crimes. In the localities where
mob law prevails most, and lynchings
for rape and murder most frequent
those crimes appear to increase. When
the human mind is without govern
ing control over itself it cannot be
turned from crime by fear of punish
ment hereafter. In those ages of the
world when every criminal believed he
would roast forever for his crimes in a
literal hell of fire and birthstone, crime
was rampant to a far greater extent
than now, though the punishment in
fiicted for it, by authority were often
extremely horrible. Men were often
torn aSunder by horses, boiled alive by
oil, burned at the stake, crucified, buried
alive and otherwise made to suffer in
describable agonies before the inexOra-
BILE but tardy death came to their relief.
But neither the cross, nor the stake. nor
boiling in oil, nor the fear of eternal
punishment has ever prevented crimes
among those who have learned self
control. If they have. history does not
show it. What it does show is dis
tinct ratio Of crime to lack of mental
and moral development. The great
majority of persons in this country have
been SO educated that they can control
their baser passions. If this We're not
so, says the Oval, Pa, Ledger, demo-
cratic government would be an idle
DREAM and the only choice would be be-
tween complete anarchy and complete
despotism.
The value of the law is for those who
obey it, because if they do obey it, it
prevents them from taking a lawless
vengeance and thereby increasing the
strength of the lawless spirit. Every
man who Obeys the law helps to put
down the criminal spirit in himself and
others. Every man who does not obey
it, who takes lawless vengeance, in
creases the criminal spirit in himself
and others. Every lynching makes
more rapeS and murders.
Self-government is the only means of
prevention for crime, and to be capable
OF self government, man must be ed
ucated both morally and intellectually.
His intellect cannot be developed to self
government if his morals are unedu-
Gated; and it is fruitless and foolish to
try to educate the morals of any free
man without educating his intellect.
Mob law and lynching not only do not
lesson the number of the crimes which
are made the preteXt for those outbreaks
for savagery, but they undoubtedly in
crease them. The effect of them is to
lower the moral tone of the whole com
and give new impulse crime
ward to the less developed. Let not the |
people of NippenOse have the hideous
nonsense that lynching is the enforce
ment of the superior natural law.
Lynching is murder, neither more nor
less, no matter what pretext or provo
cation may be offered. The only way
to diminish such crimes is to educate
men to obey the law and govern them
selves. This is the only way in which
crimes of the most inhuman and bar
barOus sort have been diminished: it is
the only way in which crime can be di-
minished.
