all developed
to certain degrees, in the make-up of each individual, and all are good
faculties. There are no bad ones. The Creator would not have given
them to man if they had been bad. It is merely the wrong use of these
faculties that is what is called bad. It is, to the observer, all a case of
more or less good and of bringing all the faculties to the highest point
of development.
In the case of Leon Czolgosz, the trouble was that, with a very ordinary
development in his reasoning, perceptive, moral and domestic natures,
he has a wonderful over-development in his executive, and at a critical
moment, the one when he heard his first line of anarchy, it was turned
into the wrong path.
As to the matter physiognometry, a few points in his face will but
reinforce what has been said above.
The breadth and angle of his jaw showed his tremendous determination
and continuity. His upper lip was the lip of an actor and showed the
intense liking for approval. The corners of his mouth were indicative of
his cruel, destructive nature, and the eyelids showed more plainly than
anything else in the whole face the proud, secretive, self-contained and
self-sufficient character. The angle at which the head was poised on the
neck, not only in his photographs but in his actual habit, was a certain
sign of his reckless defiance which arose from his desire for combat
and lack of love of life. The creases under his eyes showed that he had

a poor command of language. The greatest speakers invariably have
puffy lower eyelids. Orators who have not are not naturally orators, and
their efforts are heavy.
Lastly, the cunning with which he plotted was shown in the
development of a little spot in his forehead at the edge of the temple,
where there is a little ridge.
