habitual criminal, who passes from one aci
OF violence t. another, should be deprived
of the right to continue his kind. A family
history is frequent in crime. A single
criminal imported from Germany to Lam
caster County in the eighteenth century has
had hundreds Of criminal, semi-criminal
and pauper descendants.
Why should this be permitted All
evolution, descent and heredity unite to
urge recognition Of the broad, underlying
fact that the way to prevent crime is to cut
it off at its source, to close che door to the
long future Of the coming generations to
any human brute whose repeated crimes Of
violence show that he is worthy neither of
commonplace liberty nor of more sacred
power aud privilege. He loses one. Why
