The origin Of all crime lies back of
the quick temper which raised the
hand which held the knife. The origin
Of crime lies in a thought. A crime is
the result of series Of thoughts, the
first of which may have lodged in the
brain of an innocent child. Men who
have studied the workings Of the hui
man mind tell us that each thought
makes a track upon the brain. That
the same thought always travels over
the same path. They tell us that the
track deepens as the thought passes
more and more frequently over the
path until the thread-l1ke track be-
comes a deep rut A wagon track,
light at first, If constantly driven over
becomes rut. If the wheels continue
to pillow into the earth the track Is cut
deeper and deeper until 1t Is impossible
for the wheel to roll out Of the rut I'M
til 1t reaches the end of the road. 1t Is
thus with the ruts in the brain. When
the path Is cut too deep the thought
must follow the old course, wherever 1t
leads. The rut may lead to theft; to
lying; to murder. Every thought, good
or bad, If permitted to travel again and
again through the mind, leads to some
act, good or bad. Great prisons have
been built, but crime still walks among
US. The habitual wishing to possess
what belongs to another too often
leads to theft. The ever-present wish
to be rid of one who is hateful too
often leads to murder. Strong walls
connot control crime until brick and
mortar can control thought. And
thought Is free as the air. 1t slips
past the guard, it passes through the
keyhole, it scorns the grating, it laughs
at walls Of stone, it knows not the ter
ror Of the gallows. Prisons cannot
save us, the scaffold cannot free us, the
laws cannot protect us from crime,
An, but where the laws are weak, you
are strong. When the walls Of the
prison are fragile you are powerful.
While the hangman's rope cannot
choke the life from crime, you can.
When the desire for the possession Of
what belongs to another comes to you,
turn 1t out. Instead Of wishing to rid
yourself Of one who is hateful wish
yourself higher and better than he.
This thought-path will lead to higher
plane, where the air Is rarer and the
sight is clearer, and the hateful one,
way down at the foot Of the mountain
which you have climbed, dare not even
lift his eyes to the heights upon which
you stand. Is that not better than a
life behind prison walls? Man is more
powerful than the law. We are more
powerful than are the instruments of
law. We can control thought, and
crime begins in thought.
