SUICIDE IN GERMANY
Self Destruction of School
Children.
ABOUT AZ ANNUALLY
VARIOUS CAUSES ASSIGNED IN
THE PUBLIC DISCUSSION.
Several Distressing Instances Noted
Since the Beginning Of the
School Term.
ABOUT AZ ANNUALLY

BERLIN, September 23-Severai Distress
ing instances of children's suicides have oc-
CURED since the autumn school term be-
gan. This has brought on a discussion of
the conditions of school and home life, and
endeayors are being made to trace the
causes OF that increasing feebleness of the
desire to live which Is affirmed the i1.CGo
suicides of 1905 Indicate. The statistics of
childrens self-murder in Saxony show that
although only seven persons under four
teen committed suicide In 1S0l-f902. the
number rose to twenty-one in 1908. The
suicides of adults In Saxony Increased in
the same time from .3SS to l,427.
The causes of suicide In Germany are re-
garded as being exceedingly subtle and In
the current discussions the personal views
on the subject have generally been decided
by the observers opinions on other ques-
tions. The socialists account for the sui
cides by economic reasons which they say
result in making 1t harder to get subsis-
tence, darken life generally and throw
shadows over the lives of the children.
The clerical view Is that the absence of
faith, the increase of irreligon and the
growth of sensual materialism explain the
weakening desire for life and that revival
of spiritual aims would lessen suicides by
increasing the serenity of living.
Critics OF the school system assert that
children are forced too much; that they are
over-stimulated and are given tasks which
are impossible for accomplishment for those
slightly below the standard of capacity and
that punishments. the fear of reproofs and
injury to self-pride push the child toward
suicide. of which he often hears his elders
refer TO as a refuge.
An instance is given of a twelve-year-old
boy who had failed TO do a Latin exercise
properly and was sent home to his father
The boy. the moment he entered his fathers s
ROOM shot himself. In identical circum-
stances another boy threw himself out Of
a window.
The total number of childrens suicides in
Germany during eighteen years was IA.
Just under fOrty-tWo annually.

The Fight Next Winter.

DSSoooO VI iiiS prominence IN MS party
his views on the subject of railroad leg
isiation are accepted as Of unusual impor-
tance not only in relation to his own polit-
ical future, but in respect to legislation
that is to be attempted next winter. On
the 18th OF next month there Will be a
convention in Chicago for the purpose Of
impressing upon the country the strength
Of the political and business interests that
favor the Presidents plan for having a
government commission empowered by Con-
gress to fix railroad rates in case of dis
elimination. Mr.. E. p. Bacon, chairman
OF the executive committee of the inter-
state commerce law commission convention
that met in st. louis year ago and still
the leader. in the fight for rate legisdlation.
has recently declared that the effort to Sc
cure such legislation is apt to reach IL
determination during the coming session of
Congress. He proposes to make the meet
ing In Chicago on the Dot hof next month
as impressive in favor of such legislation
as possible His presence in this city as
head of the forces working for rate legis-
lation is assured, and the contest between
those who favor such legislation and those
who believe it would be unwise will then
be concluded
1t is quite generally believed. especially
since the address of Senator Foraker
against rate legislation, that the Senate
committee on interstate commerce Will very
early in the next session report a bill to
the Senate which will not contain the prop
osition for rate legislation. That may be
acted upon by the Senate before the House
of Representatives has bill of it's own
in which case 1t would become the measure
on which the House would be called upon
to act. While the House passed the Esch-
Townsend bill in the last session of Con-
gress, there is assured strong fight there
next winter when the time comes to con-
slider railroad legislation
The view Is taken by many men in and
out of Congress that the declaration of
Senator Foraker at this time against rate
legislation will have the effect of crystal
lizing sentiment in Congress early in the
session. His position the committee on
interstate commerce and the influence he
exercises because OF his forceful advocacy
of any issue he favors make his address
especially notable.

Senator Foraker's views are also regard
ed as of especial significance. because Of
the fact that he is looked upon as one OF
the men who is likely to show great
strength when the time comes to nominate
candidate for the presidency at the next
national republican convention During
the lifetime of Senator Hanna 1t was gen.
orally believed that any such ambition on
his part would meet the opposition Of his
colleague in the Senate. as the two had
long been political rivals. But his position
In Ohio Is now SO strong that his friends
declare that, while the conditions that will
prevail three years hence cannot be seen
with certainty. and while they realize that
there will be many candidates in the field,
they feel confident he will prove form:d-
able candidate

The address of Senator Foraker. deliv-
cred yesterday afternoon. in outlining the
issues in the Ohio campaign. has attracted
great attention and is regarded AZ one OF
the most important utterances In relation to
political issues that has been voiced since
the adjournment Of Congress. It is looked
upon as of especial significance az being
the first time that Mr.. Foraker has clearly
defined his position in opposition to the
proposition for the fixing OF railroad rates
by a government commission. His declara-
ton against the ratification OF reciprocity
treaties is also regarded as important. but
that was rather in line with what has been
the senator's set policy. ard caused no
surprise.
Senator Foraker, as a member OF the Sen
ate committee on interstate commerce, at
tended all the meetings OF the committee
in this city after the adjournment OF Con-
