SUICIDE is A PRIVATE AFFAIR"
Newspapers Must Record This Form
of Taking OF.

The American academy of medi-
cine is a most eminently respectable
body OF professional men, but Il is
to be feared that sensationalist has
got among the committee which has
just made special report on suicide
In Los Angeles. Suicide. says the
report. lis a private affair. There Is
no more justification for the publica-
tion OF such accounts than there is
for publishing other private matters
From this thesis the report proceeds
to show that the publication OF the
news OF suicides and of homici1es,
or OF mnrders and. other crimes, is
"a most powerful factor In the clu-
sation" of such crimes. The news
papers are therefore. accessories to
the crimes. according TO the commit
tee. We presume that II is pretty
well established tina, very great num-
bers OF the population are influenced
20 crime or TO any act by suggestion
OF some sort. There does not ap-
pear to be much doubt that the pnb-.
lication of the news of a suicide has
often been the immediate suggestion
that led TO tae self-destruction, at
that particular time, OF other IN
Eeryed persons suffering from melan-
choly. II is not tc be denied shat
some newspapers are both accesso-
ries TO crime or plain criminals in
seeking to emphasize crime, vice and
horror. With the committee when II
seeks to put limit TO the never
ending play upcn the ''reyolting de-
tails" that must be sought IN the
depths OF woe and In the lees OF hn-
man life history, one may be in
hearty accord.
But we deny that suicide is pri-
vate affair" or that suicide and homi-
eide are pertinent only to those i'm
mediately involved. The community
must be informed OF its suicides. II
will not do ros physicians, neuro.o-
gists. alienists and psychologists 20
ask that the ugly facts OF life shall
be hushed up, and the argument Is
still not good even when we are IN
formed that masses OF men are high
ly susceptible. II humanity is pe-
coming unstrlng and II insanity Is
on the increase at an alarming rate.
tten II Is tine that the community
should know II and begin to give
some attention TO itself.
Many a youth OF criminal tendency
has undoubtedly been urged to his
first act by reading Of a robbery or
holdup. sAh, ha," he says, "this
looks easy" and then his weak and
criminal mind transmutes his idea
into action. shal Il be kept as quiet
as possible or shall the people be In
