SUICIDES HAVE THRILLED.
Progress of Civilization the "ofiU
over Does Not Stop SELF
Destruction.

Suicides have a little more than
trinled in the last 100 years, and, curl
ously enough, the percentage is nearly
four times greater in Protestant than
in Catholic or Greek church countries
And what is still more remarkable Is
that wealth, culture, social advantages
and free thought seems TO conduce 10
self-destruction, says an exchange.
one would suppose that as civiliza-
ton advances. universities multiply
the spread of knowledge, new dlscoF'
cries in the field of science and the
adoption of higher codes OF CONNER
eial and social ethics they would re-
duce rather than swell the roll OF self
murderers, but evidently these things
encourage that way of getting out OF
the world.
Recent statistics show that in Prot
estant communities the number OF sui
cides Is 100 to the 100000; in purely
Catholic countries IS to the 100000
and in the Greek church countries ~
10 the 100000. In Germany, where
there are more scholars, scientists
philosophers and students in ratio e
population than in any other country
the percentage of suicides is greatel
than anywhere else in the world. II
is curious to note, too, that in all coun
tries more people kill themselves II
wet and stormy weather than when the
sun shines. The majority of suicides
however. are between shutdown ano
sunrise. and, strangely enough, more
people select a moonlight than darl
night to quit living. Moreover, three
men commit suicide to one woman
But the right Of one 10 quit living BY
ones own hand has strong defenders
in such men as Hume, Gibbon, Var
Hartman, Schopenhaur and Others
equally as great intellectually.
However. there are those who holc
that il is no more a violation Of the Law

Of abuse OF the physical organs Blu
does suicide enable one to escape tn
bearing of burdens? May there not b
still greater ills for the suicide TO strug

perhaps those bent upon suicide do no
stop TO consider that question.
