Increase Especially Large
in Western Cities.
SHOWING OF STATISTICS

Of the <Sixty.five Municipalities Gov
, cred Several Smaller Ones Alone
Report Decrease-North Atlantic
States Have Lowest Rate fer Any
Particular Section of the Country.
New York, Nov. Suicide mortal
ity statistics show that the increase in
the rate Of self-destruction over the
increase in population has become
alarming. There has been a general
increase and in nearly every city of
sixty-fve of the nations representa-
tive municipalities the figures show
that the rate has grown larger.
The rate of increase Of suicides per
100000 of population was probably the
least alarming in Chicago. In 1908 the
pro rata increase was III. Only four
other cities, all of tkem much smaller,
showed a smaller increase than the
Illinois metropolis. The increase in
Oakland, CAL, was the highest, with
80 6, while the lowest was 4 in Buff
falo, N. Y. Several smaller cities in
the list showed decrease in therate
of from to per cent. -
Chicago's total of suicides during
1908 was 5OO This was at rate of
% per 100000 population. For the
decade ending 1907 the total was
4,031, or at the rate cf 21.9.
the increase in the suicide rate has
been most alarming in the West.
With total of 665 self-inf1icted deaths
in the -tabulated Western cities for
1903 the rate has increased 6.1 The
rate is 1873, while it stood only z77
for the decade ending 1907. The low
est rate per 100, 900, speaking of the
country in geographical sections, was
1876 for the North Atlantic states.
In the West the greatest advance
in the rate was shown in Salt Lake
City, Utah, with 4 rate of 1877 over
the figure of 1873 for the entire pre-
vious decade. The increase in all the
cities of the Pacific coast was great

WILSON DIFFERS WITH HILL

Washington, Nov. 5.-James J.
Hills view that the United States is
rapidly approaching the time when the
population of the country will out
grow the means Of subsistence pro.
vided by agriculture are not shared
by Secretary Wilson of the agricul-
tural department. Some day. he be-
lieves, the increase of popMat1on is
bound to overtax the ability of the
farmer to provide for it's s,lstenance,
but that day is remote, he is con-
vinced. Nor will it be necessary in
the immediate future to import grain
for bread, notwithstanding the dolefll
predictions of some publicists. Every
thing depends upon the disposition of
the American farmer to make the
most of the resources of his land and
to improve his methods of agriculture
in accordance with the needs of the
people.
