The sad death Wednesday by suicide
of Miss Herbert, daughter OF the ex-Sec-
rotary of the Navy, removes prominent
figure from the ranks of Washington So
ciety, and will cast gloom over the ho.i
day festivities. One is almost tempted
TO believe that there is n suicide mania in
the atmosphere rs infectious as some
germ disease. For months mast il would
be hard to find Il daily naper that does
not chronicle one or more cases of self

Just now FraEce is adding It new fea-
ture to the gruesome spectacle, in the APP
palling number or its school children sui

as that county ia concerned, it is not
strange that q nation which has lncuica-

reap child suicide as IL legitimate result

portrayal of the effect Of atheistic teach

The growth of suicide in the United
States is, however, we believe tracenhle
to several causes. chief among which is
mental worry over business matters.
Constant brooding over financial losses
TO which is often added impending dis
grace, unhinges the mind and drives the
irresponsible subject to take his own
life. TO what extent monopolisitc gIeed
and corrupt government, bringing in
their train financial disaster and ruin, is
responsible for this, we are not pre- pared
TO say. The thought, however, is sug-
gestiye, and opens up Il broad field for
speculation.
Another fruitful cause, we believe, ex-
lists in the wide publicity given such
events by the newspapers. All the har-
rowing details of some such death are
given. often accompanied by cuts of the
most tragic parts. These meet the eye of
one al eedy predisposed to suicide; the
seed Thought is planted which germinates
and grows until the final elimination is
reached.

had in the first instance found it a con-

toriety was thus given the spot, which
induced second to use it for the same
purpose. BY this time public comment

Undue prominence was given both place

Germany.
The utmost extent of reciprocity

1t w8s thought that the arrival OF the
