BLAMING THE TEMPTKIt
In Cliicago not long ago a boy was arrested for stealing
n considerable sum of money which his employer had care
lessly left within the boy's reach. At the trial it came out
that the boy had received a very small wage and had (heavy
home responsibilities. The judge admitted that stealing was
a crime but argued that punishment should rest on the one'
responsible for the crime, that the employer was responsible'
for leaving such a sum of money within easy reach of a'
poorly paid employe and tempting him to steal. He dis-j
charged the prisoner, helped him get a new job, and lectured
the employer. Such action on the part of the judge was not
anticipated by the law. against stealing but popular opinion I
might conclude that it was 'good justice. Commenting on1
the case, a manufacturer's house organ, "The Houghton'
Line," makes the following observations : I
, . 47.V;ewilh thijadtlUlt.iUfi.l who
is most responsible for wrongdoing If one be weak,
one is just weak. i'ou would not censure a man because
he lacked the muscular strength to lift the maximum
weight in a contest. He just did not possess the strength
and that was all there was to it. Likewise you must not
blame one who has not the mental strength to resist
temptation. But this does not mean that one should not
resist temptation to the fullest extent of his strength,
as the athlete applied his utmost strength in attempting
to life the weight before he failed. And just as the
keeping right on trying to lift the maximum weight in
, creases the strength! of the athlete, so the keeping
right on trying to resist temptation inci-eases the mental
j strength to resist the maximum temptation."
In GeiTnany if you should happen to occupy a ground
floor room and want to enjoy fresh air during a night's
slumber, you probably will be awakened by a police officer
and ordered to close your shutters. Open window shutters
or open doors at night, you will be informed, are tempta
tions to people who are abroad at night. Closed windows do
not tempt people to steal as much as open ones and the
police consider it their duly to remove as much temptation
as possible ns well as to catch criminals after they have yield
ed to temptation.
We don't want to see all thieves released simply because
someone has been careless enough to make thieving easy.
Of course not. But there is something in the charge made
against the employer by the Chicago judge. Much wrong
doing might be avoided by making wrong doing less easy
and less tempting. Parents might well consider such things
in considering the problem of their children. How many of
the youthful escapades and missteps are aided and helped by
parents putting temptation i nthe way, by parents making
the wrong-doing a very easy matter? Strength is acquired
by resisting tempUttion, by lifting heavy weights. But youth
requires help and encouragement in the effort.
