While thé killings had ‘only a slight increase, from 9,212 to 9,350, the number of suicides in- creased to 10,125. aero’ = Seni “In primitive communities and in all-the cruder forms of clvi ization ihe.murders many times outnumber the suicides. When a savage has’a ‘grievance he works it off hy killing some other man instead of himself. ‘t-takes many generations to breed human beings in whom fhe desire to live is weaker than the impulse to take yengeance upon thenrelves | ¢ ills they suffer. / “On this score the venerabie civil zation of China has attained a de- yelopment beyond. that of the alder nations of Europe, which in this te- spect continue: to-surpas thé United “States, An educated and refined Chinese_gentleman who ‘has been wronged by a friend, a neighbor or. a-business acquaintance_puts on his i best apparel and, going to the door- ii I wt ~step: of the-man who_injured. him,] | il HIE commits suicide, thereby putting a]. — blight on the other mian’s family] |% that nothing but reciprocal suicide can atone. i Gl he wrongs con mittted-by-othersthe American customs Ly tor prefer murder to suicide. But the injuries which any one else can inflict_upon a man are rapidly becoming less than the injuries which he does to himself, For lack of success most men blame themselves when = they recall the opportunities which knocked at their door in yain. For bad health, for errors in speculation, for defec judgment, a man-can : -no-other-specific_ individual than him: hom to inflict pun- As yet the suicide rate in the United States does not equal the rate in’ France, Germany or Austria, The United States homicidal rate stilt * far’ exceeds that of England or the principal Continental nations.

Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia and the other Solithern States where there were many lynchings had not all combined as many “Eulicides as there were last year In New York City, where there Was thot ‘one lynching. Also suicides were less frequent where there were multiple murders. ‘The increasing number of these wholesale murders may be taken asa ‘sign that it will be several centuries before the Chinese plan is generally dopted on this continent. As against this there is the fact that a some- what large proportion of murderers are women, which may or may not) have some connection with the renewed agitation for women's rights. Nineteen of the 280 double murders and three of the triple murders were committed by women, ‘but the 44 quadruple murders and the cases six and: seven-people-were murdered were of_men's doing. : : d T \ n LE N T Y = fr q V E = TAGINE p little man, nervous and fussy, about five feet four inches in/ him tn the purchaso of the James Hazen Hyde holdings in the company, | ROMANCG ES P.
