And with spell to stay the hunters hand
And stir his heart to know and understand;

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

TIME late Professor Lombroso
taught that crime has its
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
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 Can't Smother Genius.
We recognize that no school can
make 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
.
their country's blood" sleeping I'M
der unmarked stones in country
grayeyards
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-
tion to push ahead.
Governor Hunt believes that the
worst criminals can be reformed,
and he is putting his theory into
practice in 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 manhood 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.
