THE PRESS AND GRIMES.


Every time the world Is shocked by
the announcement OF a crime commit
ted by an anarchist the press comes
forward with suggestions about the
proper treatment Of that class Of Grim
lrals The st. Petersburger Zeitung,
speaking Of the assassin Of King Hum
bert takes occasion 10 shy that the
newspapers which distribute the por-
traits and biographies OF such wretches
are much TO blame for the repetition
OF their crimes, because they assist In
the glorlacation Of the perpetrators
thereof. When an individual thirsting
Tor notorIety but incapable Of rising
above his morally filthy surroundings,
l.. finds tb'1. his comrades are thus. sasde
into heroes he naturally becomes fred
with a desire for similar distinction
And this. we think applies with
more or less force TO an kinds of crimes.
It Is customary to trace these to hered-
lty and surroundings. but the aid given
by an indiscreet press is perhaps as
much Of a factor as either II crime
is the outcome OF an infectious moral
disease. the vehicles through which It's
germs are conveyed from one place 10
another are certainly not harmless
Il Is high time that the press OF the
civilized world take the only rational
stand ln this matter. Records Of crime
cannot be- entirely left out of the daily
chronicle of events. but IL there any
reason why such records should be
made to appear 20 Doe the most import
ant Of all? Why should they be given
precedence over deeds Of benevolence?
Is a murderer worthy Of a place IN the
public eye, by the side Of an inventor
dlsCoverer. a missionary, or even an
honest farmer, or day laborer? one
would think that common sense and
regard for decency would suggest that
am assassin be- treated with contempt
aul detestaton instead OF given long
descriptions under flaming headlines OF
bis lfa and character. The dime

breeder OF crime and careful parents

of their children against les poisonous
influence. But that lsfuence Is not
less baneful because II Is offered in a
