Is Crime a Durable
Disease?
The Great Experiment That
Governor Hunt Is Trying
With Human Nature
Out in Arizona.
Bv GARRETT P. SERVISS.

TIME late Professor Lombroso
taught that crime has it's
earmarks. like genius. The
criminal is an imperfect man, ac-
cording to Lombroso. He carries
the mark of Cain upon him, fixed
from his youth. He is a crooked
stick, which can only be straight
ened by breaking. 1t is not the
fault of his will, but the decree of
pitiless nature that makes him
what he is. With his misformed
Uranium he can not go straight
The man of genius, on the other
hand, is also, according to the same
authority, an abnormal product. He
is a genius because he can not
help being one; he was born SO.
Few would probably dispute con-
illusions of the great Italian scien-
fist as far as they apply to genius.
You Cant Smother Genius.
We recognize that no school can
make a Napoleon or a Shakespeare,
and that no adverse circumstances
can keep such men from manifest
ing their power. There are few of
us who know life and history that
believe in mute inglorious Mil
tons" or "Cromwell's guiltless Of
their countrys blood" sleeping I'M
der unmarked stones in country
graveyards.
But there are many who are be-
ginning to believe that the mark of
Cain is not ineradicable, and con-
spicuous among these new proph-
cts is Governor George w. P. Hunt,
of Arizona, who writes a remark
able article in HEARST'S MAGA-
ZINE on the novel Western ideas
&. of criminology which he is using
all the influence of his official posi-
ton to push ahead.
Governor Hunt believes that the
worst criminals can be reformed,
and he is putting his theory into
practice in a way which Warns the
heart Of the reader. His success
has been astonishing, as you may
read in his article.
The secret of this success is COM
prised in one Word-HONOR 1t is
not the sort of honor that Falstaff
ridiculed on Shrewsbury battle
field; not the bubble reputation"
that the soldier seeks even in the
lannon's mouth; but the inward
sense of honest smanhood that is
never entirely eXtinguished in any
human breast.
Governor Hunts way Is to APP
peal to this slumbering sense of
honor, and awake and strengthen
it. Neither turns condemned Grim
mails loose in his state nor overloads
them with sentimental kindness in
their cells. He does not have flow
ers sent to them by hysterical wom-
en-, to awake in their minds the
idea that they are suffering mar
tyrs for whom tender hearts are
breaking.

come back to resume the place in
which the authority of the law ba,
put him!
This looks like bold program
and so 1t is. 1t looks revolutionar,.
and SO 1t is. But IT SUCCEEDS
II you doubt, read the stories that
Governor Hunt tells, and he co,
WINGED. Not once has the wor..
criminal trusted by the governor
betrayed him. When he meets
prisoners he treats them as mon
he lets them see that. in~his onfn-
ion, they are not bad all through
that they are still men. with tbs
instincts of true manhood in them.
He shows them, not by words
but by deeds that there is vet an
honorable place for them if fhev
will but take it. He let's them servo
3 out their sentences, as a duty which
they owe to society, but he en-
courages them to better after
life by developing their higher ma
ture, while they are still under con-
demnation for their former crimes
Read, I say again, read what he
says about the effect upon these
men.
The experiment is new, and there
are not many such governors. It
may be long time yet before this
method of treating criminals be-
comes common, but it seems worth
trying elsewhere than in Arizona.
1t may not succeed in all cases, but
if it succeeds in a few it is worth
while. At any rate, Governor Hunt
is justified by accomplished facts
in believing that he has discov-
cred cure for crime. He is no
pessimist. He knows that a crooked
stick may be made straight with
out breaking.
How He Makes Them Over
The cane maker knows that Sc
cret also. He takes a stick that
nature and circumstances have
formed crooked, and softens it with
steam, puts it under pressure,
makes its fibers lie straight, as
they would have grown in the first
place. if they had had the oppor-
tunity, and finally turns out gold
tipped staff on which age can lean
with confidence for support. Gov
ernor Hunt straightens his canes
with the warm pressure of common
democratic brotherhood.
And, after all, there is nothing
new in the method 1t was prac-
ticed in Palestine 1000 years ago
The Founder of Christianity was
no pessimist, either.
