Three Tsnets Of Crime.
DR.. c. Frank Lydston, professor OF
criminal authropology Of the Chicago
Kent College Of Law. says there are
three tenets Of crime:
Il The criminal and vice classes
r the product Of certain Influences
Of heredity. c|ongeuital and acquired
disease, and u~nfavorable surroundings
involving -pernicious teaching and e x
ample, physical necessities and other
social m~aladies.
80. The influences result in a class
OF persons Of low grade OF develop
ment, physically and mentally. with
a defective understanding Of their
true relations to the social system In
which they live. Such persons have
no true conception Of that variable
thing called morality, and, In the case
OF the criminal, no respect whatever
for the rights OF others. save in so far
as 81 may be compelled by fear OF
punishment Some become criminals.

Pathology OF Crime.

But, nevertheless. there is a path
ology Of crime. The psychology Of the
thief or the psychology OF the muir
derer not only Is an interesting study.
but It is also a scientific study. And
coupled with the psychological is the
physical side OF the problem. II you
suggest to the professional thief catch
er the possibility OF heredity or atny-
ism, nine times out Of ten he win re-
ply positively: NO; a thief is a thief
Just because he Is a thief-that's all"
But back Of the surface indications
specialists are beginning TO trace a
and a possible cure for crime.
The cure does not, perhaps, lie In any
great reform movement that can reach
the habitual criminals Of to-day. It
lies. rather, IN a cure for the future.

ton TO take them That is the case
with the majority OF criminals. Now
and then YOU may find an old Grim
inal who want TO reform. But those
cases are exceedingly rare"
This feeling is shared by about all
the men who are engaged in the occu-
patton OF running down criminals and
endeavoring 10 prevent the perpetra-
ton Of crime. Robert Pinkerton once
expressed practically the same views
to me. and only the other day Samuel
j. Barrows, corresponding secretary
of the Prison Association OF New York,
told q story where ne was made the
victim OF q pretended reformed Grim
iaal. The man had come to him with
a tale Of reform; a small loan was
made to him and repaid. followed by
confidence resulting In the advance Of
quite q sum Of money for goods TO set
him up In business. Since that ad-
yance no word has been heard from
the sO-called reformed criminal. The
incident, however. did not affect Mr..
Barrows' faith, for he stil believes
there Is good In many criminals and
that assistance should be given to
them TO reform. But with the profess
siOnal thief catcher q Is a different
matter. They are daily brought in
contact with such a low order OF hu-
manity and daily g the lowest side
Of degraded humanity, so that they
naturally become incredulous when
reform and crime are linked together.
