 Sir-Some years ago the number Of suicides was small. At that time the Good Old Pistol may be said to have ones own life. Of late years the humber of suicides have greatly in creased-especiaIly in ratio to the pop ulation. The Good Old Pistol during the march of progress gave way to the Good Old Poison. Evolution is again On Purposely are the most up-to- date. .
 Self preservation is the first law of nature," so we are informed. Then why should people plan to have the spark of life Go Out Prematurely? A in nearly all cases show that the aw- full Grind Of Poverty is what drives people to the rash act
 Some prate, Let well enough alone '' we do not want some future historian to write: powerful empire on the American con- tinent. An empire of such astonish- ing mechanical and scientific perfec- tion that, although quite populous, produced manyfold more than it was able to consume. Like Athens, it was IOO Tc1lS1OuS, lOE lu0 Ol us sacred edifices almost covered the ground. Yet. its religion was vision ary and impractical. for its most de- voted adherents were the first to suf- fer want. deprivation and starvation, while materialistic. anarchistic com mercialism spread more rapidly. by patroniZing the religious institutions in the way of endowments, and the despoilers were thus able to keep the common people at bay while they gath cred to themselves the earth. includ- ing all the natural resources. machin- cry and capital, which finally fell into a few hands. And when the piteous, patient people, after being despoiled of all wealth. undertook to march empty handed TO petition their masters for work, they were mistaken for insur- rectionists by the terrified capitalists who turned on their machine guns and destroyed the entire Deasantry. and none were left but the surfeited and incompetent rich who continued to struggle among themselves for the last loaf of bread until they destroyed each other"
