of Harvard, one of the foremost au-
thorities on the psychology of sugges-
ton, such epidemics as the Black
Hand letters may be traced almost d.
rectly to nervously disordered persons
who have had the suggestion made to
them by seeing wild-eyed Black Hand
stories, written by cub reporters, In
the daily press. 1t has become almost
mania with the cub reporter to see
Black Hand societies every time he
finds murder of a foreign-speaking
citizen. There are thirty-fve cases of
record in Chicago of persons writing
themselves Black Hand letters and ap-
pealing to the police for protection and
asking to be sworn in as special po-
licemen, in order to save themselves
from their dread tormentors The
real purpose Is, of course, to get to
be policeman in order to take out
grudge against neighbor.
The Black Hand crime is In almost
every case a crime of deliberation,
even when it springs from the crazy
brain of person who is properly a
patient for homeopathic institute.
Hence the small percentage of Italians
on police records where even bona f1de
Black Hand letters are looked up. The
Black Hand itself has been stamped
out in Italy. The Black Hands which
have arisen in America are merely

LET ME ENJOY.

Because the alternating Might
That fashioned forth its loveliness
Had other aims than my delight.

I will east glad, afar-off. eyes,
Tho it contain no place for me.
