THE CRIME OF CRIMES
Americans usuaHy take the side of
the weaker. This characteristic
shows itself in sports, in business
and in everyday life generally. It
is a national trait of good sports
manship. Unfortunately, however,
it sometimes gets warped; it some
times creeps iu where crime is con
cerned. This attitude may be re
sponsible in a measure for the pub
lic's indifference toward arson and
incendiarism in the past. . j
Yet there is proof that this atti- !
tude is changing. "There never was
a time," asserts The National Board
of Fire. Underwriters, "when the
man who started a fire for gain to
himself had less public encourage
ment. The public is making itself
felt in the number of successful
prosecutions in arson cases."
For the man who in the heat of
anger, or in dire necessity, commits
a crime some sympathy may be felt.
His deed may be eternally wrong
and yet be tinged with an element
r.f nitv Hut no excuse whatever can
applies the torcn to serve ms own
greedy ends.
To destroy American property
which in many cases cau never be
replaced, to endanger life, to strike
at the economic welfare of the coun
try all this the arsonist does. And
why- Merely to benefit himself or
another through the collection of in-
su"?nce
Hence it is that we say to The Na
tional Board of Fire Underwriters, to
the Fire Marshals of America, to
every force engaged in fighting the
scourge of arson: "Go on; follow
