1t would puzzle the most profound
psychologist, the New York News
thinks, to attempt an explanation of
New York's suicide statistics. Great
business depression naturally accounts
for an Increase in the number
OF suicides, but analysis of the
statisticsA shows some interesting
facts. The average suicide, strange
as lit may seem. is not the poor
man. The person who seeRs obIivion
in self destruction is usually he who
has lived in comfort if not in luxury,
and who is too cowardly to face finan-
cial reverse like man. He lacks the
pluck necessary to go to his home and
frankly disclose the truth. SO he es-
capes by pellet of lead, and leaves
his family with only the stained name
of suicide. Poverty is not the chief
breeder of self-destruction. Perhaps
the most prolific cause of all is tho
sudden realization that several down.
ward steps must be taken on the social
ladder.

The zone system of railroad rates
which is so successfully operated in
Hungary, has made deep impression
upon James l.. Cowles, we'll known in
railroad circles. He says: ''Distance
costs practically nothing in the
transportation of freight or of pas
sengers, and, therefore, distance
should he disregarded in the dis
elimination of rates. The rate now
charged for tho shortest distance for
any particular service is the rate that
should be adopted for all distances.
When once train starts from Boston
to San francisco, there isn't man
living that can tell the difference in
cost of running that train, whether q
passenger leaves the train at the first
station out of Boston or goes through
from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast. /"
Mr.. Cowles further says that there is
not ten dollars difference between
running train from Chicago to New
York, full of passengers or empty.
