SUICIDE INCREASE
IS ALARMING
sTATlSTlclAN SAYS SELF MUIR.
DER GROWS YEARLY-MosT
COMMON WITH WELL-TO.Do.

New York, Nov 90 Frederick l..
Hoffman, in an article entitled THE
Suicide Record Of 1905" in the spec.
tator asserts that the suicide rate
increased to an unusual degree last
year, and Expresses the belief that
suicide Is coming more common
among the well.educated and well.to.
do
Mi Hoffman tabulates the suicide
statistics of siXty.iiye cities in the
United states. He says that against
the rate ISIS per 100000 of population
In 1907, tn" rate for 1905 was 2l,S, or
higher by more than one point than
the exceptionally high rate of 1901
OF 2O.7.
The article draws the following
conclusions
From every point Of yicw-moral
social and oconomic-the increase in
the suicide rate is oac Of the alarm.
ing and suggestive phenomena of the
present day
An analysis OF individual cases Of
suicide would seem to sustain the con.
c'usion that the increase in suicidal
frequency affects principally the well.
to-do prosperous and better educated
elements Of the populltiou, rather
than the unfortunate the ignoral I
and the poor. Such study OF indiyiu
ual cases also reveals the facts of a
close connection between suicide and
crime in all its phases, particularly,
however, crimes of more serious
character, committed by men in high
positions or esponsibility.
Finally. there is positive evidence
of mental and physical deterioration
and in part at least, among those who
have come from the country to live In
the cities, and to whom the intensity
of city life, its opportunities for ex.
,itement and temptation, prove dis.
astrous causing mental unbalance,
nervous diseases, and maladial, NOR
al and spiritual discomfort.
"A study of any considerable num-
ber of individual cases of suicide does
not confirm the view that real prog
ress is being made as the result of
modern educational methods and the
vast increase in material prosperity,
well-being and comfort, but 1t leads
rather to adverse conclusions and the
conclusion that there Is positive
so-called disease of the will"
The writer says that suicide is
more common in the western cities,
and more common In the large cities
than In the small ones. The increase
in the rate was greatest in Salt Lar,
City, but the highest rate during the
