So il is that crime keeps pace with
science, whether IT be in the field of
high explosives, wireless telegraphy,
the telephone, or any of the other
great inventions of modern times.
This being the case one may wonder
why the machinery for the detection
and punishment of crime is contin-
Ually becoming more and more eff
Gent. Matching individual against
individual. there are doubtless men
OF as great ability engaged in the
commission Of crime as in its detec
ton. The great factor however in
favor OF those engaged in hunting
down the criminal is the strength
which comes through organization.
So far as science goes. according to
an ex-poIice chief neither side has
benefited to any greater extent than
the other As a matter of fact in
England the telephone is little en-
pIoyed and oId-fashiOned methods are
still used in Scotland Yard. Yet
England is as successful as this
country in the detection and punish
ment OF crime. The further one
looks at the matter, the firmer be
comes the conviction OF the correct
ness of the statement that not science
nor invention. but organization, and
being on the right side is the greatest
factor in the suppression of crime.
