SUICIDE AND THE GERMANs--soME REASONS
WHY
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
In your editorial Of Sunday on the Frequency OF
Suicide and Its Causes' you have spoken only from
theoretical point OF view and overlooked entirely
the other side OF the question, which ] may be
allowed to call Its practical part on account OF its
gloomy and real causes. Your propounded theory
OF its causes-being OF the orthodox Christian way
OF thinking-you say that among ten out OF eleven
suicides they are Germans and Americans. who
commit such q damnable, unchristian act and
thereby imply that these Germans and Ameri-
cans are not Christians This belief is fallacious
1t may be, but we have no proofs vet for such
a superstition, that the majority OF the Ameri.
can portion may come under this category. To
the contrary we hear often OF murders committed
and OF suicides, which clearly indicate motives
through an over-feryid zeal and anatclsIn. with
regard to the Germans, who are OF q different
mould in comparison with men OF other nationa.
tics. IN would undoubtedly show, if the statistics
were managed in thorough scientific manner
that by far the greatest part or them are driven to
the act OF committing suicide rather than 10 live
dislDnorable and wre.ched life. And why Is 1t
thus Because among us they are still too much
treated as foreigners instead OF co-citzens and
not seldom In a careless and even oppressive and
humiliating way, which fact no unbiased person
can deny. ara myself OF German birth and cduca-
ton, and, although ] have been living already
twenty years In this Republic as citizen without
reproach, still my own long experience and
that OF many more around me are still
testiiying thereto. For instance, let an IN
fortunate, but worthy and intelligent German. Nv
sickness or through other natural causes, lose his
employment and endure a long and, OF course ex.
pensive time Of compulsory idleness. Besides II
he has family to support and s neither mechanic
nor has any knowledge OF other manual labor
and, as a matter OF course, being not allowed to
compete with those OF another nationality what
