DENIES THEORY OF LoMBRoS0
Equally High Authority Asserts That
There Is No Distinct Type
Of Criminal.

DR.. Charles Goring is the latest
criminologist to combat the theories
of Lombroso and to assert that there
is no such thing as a criminal type.
DR.. Goring admits that there are some
persons who are naturally criminals,
but he denies that their criminality
shows itself by physical stigmata.
Seeing that criminality is purely ar
tificial distinction, it is hard to under
stand why nature should aid in the
classification. Our social system has
seen fit to select a small number OF
the almost innumerable ways Of be-
ing wicked and to label them as Grim
inal. The other ways are not labeled
as criminal, although they may actual
ly involve a much greater moral tur-
pitude. It is not the function of So
ciety to prevent people from being
wicked, but only to prevent them from
being wicked in such ways as are
particularly periodical to the rest Of
the community. There was a time
when 1t was criminal to read the Bible.
II is still criminal to do some things
Of which the moral sense may highly
approve. We can hardly expect ma
ture to give her sanction to our arti'
fetal distinctions.

The captain studied longer.
The figure on the photograph was
different from anything ever seen or
dreamed OF in the year 1862. Appar-
emily 1t represented some creature
bearing a faint resemblance to the
women OF the day. The physiognomy
was dainty and appealing to the eye,
but 1t was almost surrounded by a
great mass Of material resembling
hair. To the waist the figure bore
some resemblance to the women OF
1862. But here the resemblance
ceased. From the waist down the fig
ure was shaped like an elongated V,
with the small end at the bottom,
where the feet should have been. 1t

miles an hour, lay in her clips on the
float, impatient to be released and
tear herself away from contact with
