Editorial Opinion
A Social Menace.


Cincinnati Inquirer.
An epidemic of suicide has existed
for more than year past. It has not
been confined to this country alone.
nor to any particular class or condi-
ton of people. Records Of the all too
prevalent self destruction that has
shocked society show that death is
sought by rich and poor educated and
ignorant, moral and immoral. alike. Be
hind most Of them is left a story Of
failure, disease, disappointment or per-
fidy.
So great has become the practice
during the past few months, and so
trivial the reasons advanced or dis
covered afterward, that the situation
should engage the most serious atten-
tion of society Unfortunately 1t is
one Of the crimes against which neither
preventive nor punitive legislation can
be effective. It is all well enough to
enact a law against self-destruction,
but after the deed is committed there
can be no possible recourse to law
Statutes providing punishment for at
tempted suicide are of little more force
and effect than would be no legislation
on the subject whatsoever Plainly, the
remedy for the crime against self and
society is not in the keeping Of tho
blind goddess of justice.

BRYAN SCARE" is ON.

HERE seems to be here and there evidences
Il of a Bryan "scare'-that is, a fear that
Mr.. Bryan will be elected president. The scare
always happens along during the latter part of
September, and dire predictions are made. Mr.
Bryan is on his touring trip, and thousands
gather to greet him and to drink in his words
But somehow his argument fails to be convnc-
ing. The masses of the voters and the maorities
go against him. Those who look beneath the sur
face cannot feel the alarm that the "scary" ones
profess The election OF Mr.. Bryan would mean
a violent change in the government, and would
halt return to normal business because of the
uncertainty that it would create.
Mr.. Bryan, while in the East, may be on his
good behavior, and may check his tendencies to-
wards extreme radicalsm, but who imagnes
that he could keep them submerged, if presi'
dent7 Who believes that his election would not
be followed by period of uncertainty that would
be an obstacle to the return of good business con-
ditions We fancy that the chief purpose now is
to bring about restoration of the old prosperity.
People are tired of the depressed times, from
which we are slowly recovering and when the
votes are cast in November the view will be taken
that the candidate to be elected should be the
one who offers the best opportunity for settled
conditions.
Mr. Bryan cannot be judged merely by his ut
terances in single campaign. His whole career
must be taken into consideration, and when his
record is examined the hestating voters will
conclude that an administration under the leader
ship of Judge Taft would be the best for the
country.

Blindness Preventable.

Century MAGAZINE.
AS to the prevention Of unnecessary
blindness. this is a matter which the
physicians of the country have been
alive to these many years. but which
the New York Association for the
Blind has lust taken up by means OF
a special committee. This movement
resulted from the fact that a member
Of the new association. who had been
a leader In far-reaching measures OF
philanthropy. recently became i'm
pressed by the startling fact that, as
DR.. Lewis puts II. "from 30 to 40 per
cent. of those wleo are blind need never
have become so had proper measures
been taken at the right time to prevent
this afiliction" In this case the
method of prevention Is a simple and
absolutely painless precaution to be
exercised with newborn children-a
method invented a quarter Of century
ago IN, Leipsic and now known and
generally approved throughout the
medical world
The work Of the special committee.
! in cooperation with competent phy-
sicians and State authorities, will
doubtless be taken up IN other States
/ of America. and before another quarter
Of n century has passed this one de-
vice of prevention win doubtless be the
means Of saving from misfortune
thousands of members Of the human
/ family who will never have known OF
/ their danger. Should this prevention
become universal the hardship Of blind
ness would be diminished 10 an extent
! It is impossible to compute
And is IL too strained an optimism
for us to look forward 10 a time wher
the danger OF this phase of blindnss
as Of other preventable diseases, will
bv purer and more sanitary living, b'
largely removed from the Ills TO which
humanity is heir? That day Of radica
prevention will be FASTENED by a frank
er and more scientific attitude on thu
part Of both physicians and the public
Already signs are multiplying Of grea
and widespread awakening-an awalS

Democratic BIunders.

Dover sentinel
It is a well-known axiom that the Dem
ocrats always do 1.-The wrong thing at
the right time" The action of the Demo-
cratic State Convention here on Tuesday
in defeating Mr.. Alexander NJ DAILY for
the nomination Of Attorney General. after
he had been decided upon as the choice Of
the Kent county caucus, created more i'll
feeling than the leaders Of the party-lf
any one can find an actual leader will be
able to overcome between now and the
day Of election. The defeat OF Mr.. DAILY,
who was surely the logical candidate Of
his party. was not only an unwarranted
blow TO his frinds but # was a direct slap
az the dry forces in Delaware. with a
wet" advocate, in DR.. Paynter for Cow
ernor political sagacity should have
prompted the so-called leaders to give the
''drys" the representation that they de-
serve on the ticket. Instead, however.
just the opposite was done.
The Sentinel is not enough interested
IN Democratic doings to take exception
to such blunder, but it thinks. in view
OF the prominence OF Mr.. DAILY as a
leader OF the "drys" and Of his acknowl.
edged ability as a lawyer, that he should
have been given what belongs to him.
This is a Republican paper, but it is also
an advocate Of fah play.
The Democratic ticket is conspicuous be-
cause Of its weakness. "Steam roller
methods were not a marker~to the way in
which the railroad influences ran rough-
shod in the convention and crushed all
opposition.
