The Suicide CITY.

For a number of years Vienna has
enjoyed the unenViable notoriety of
having the greatest number Of sui
cides among the European capitals.
and the records for 1910 show that this
pre-eminence is unfortunately still
maintained. Last year SGT persons,
of whom 4O5 were men and 1872 wom-
en-, took their lives in the Austrian
capital This is the largest number
yet recorded for any one year. But
in addition to these actual cases." a
correspondent of the Chicago News
writes, ''there were no fewer than S91
attempted suicides reported, Of which
400 were by men and 1872 by women.
Then there were doubtless some cases
which escaped official cognizance.
Thus the total number of suicides and
attempted suicides in Vienna for last
year reached the appalling figure of
LASS, or almost exactly four a day for
the year.

AN EXPLANATION

(To the Caucasian

In your Sunday issue an article, not

not been conforned to. | believe l am

ing report to be made for the three
months beginning November I6 and

Mr.. Atkins were going ahead on the

manner contemplated that our reports

completed by us. | took a business view

lowed by every administration since the

you have thought over what the orig
lnal intent of the lawmakers in fixing
about the middle of November for the
new administration to go into office, you
will agree with me in the conclusion
that it was to allow the new set of Of
tcers to fanffliarize themselves with the
city affairs and to fix the budget of re-
ceipts and expenditures for the first ifs
cal year they are to administer the city.
think when you have read all of sec
ton II where it reads ''at the end of
each year the Council shalt cause a full
and complete examination of all books
and accounts of the city to be made by
legally certified public accountants, and
shall publish the result of such exami-
nation III the manner above provided
for publication of statement of quarter
Ily expenditures" then again section I6
provides that we make budget of re
ceipts and disbursements for the coming
year, clearly indicating to me that we
must make our reports beginning our
fiscal year and in a manner that every
business concern follows-if we begin
in the middle of the month all future
statements would require explanation
Just as soon after the Ist of March as
possible the law will be complied with,
as was published in our official proceed
ings of date February ID, 1911 Respect

THE MEXICAN TROUBLES
The Mystery of Mobilization Is the
First Step to Intervention.

The New Orleans States says: The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune who is known to keep in
touch with the administration at Wash
ington and who processes to speak with
information from official sources, says
that the concentration of our troops in
Texas fully prepared for an active field
campaign, means that if the Mexican
government does not, within a limited
time, succeed in suppressing the insur-
rection against its authority in northern
Mexico, the United States army is to
march across the border and restore
order.
The invasion is expected to bring the
Diaz government to an end, like that OF
Palma in Cuba, whereupon the military
officers of the United States will pro-
coed to arrange and supervise presi-
Dental election and see that the person
chosen is installed in office, after which
our troops will be Withdrawn. Attention
has been called to the fact that the ac-
ton of our government has given the
insurrectos new courage and greatly in
creased the difficulties of the Mexican
government
The insurrectos, many of whom are
American, regard dne military demon
stration in Texas as a practical assur-
anee that if they will continue their OPP
erations for few months the United
States army will cross the border and
occupy Chihuahua, which at present is
the theater of insurgent activity It may
be that the history of our intercession
in Cuba is to be repeated in Mexico, ex-
cept that it win not begin by fighting a
foreiga enemy.
The fact has been, developed that the
concentration of troops in Texas was
considered for only one day before it
was ordered, and Secretary of War
Dickinson and Secretary Knox were
not consulted at all The hurried ac-
ton, therefore, affords ground for the
suspicion that the movement was direct
ed by the fine Italian hand of William
Nelson Cromwell who, rumor says, was
recently selected as the political mann
ager of the Taft administration.

Two Xmas and a Portrait.

Here is a funny story from Spain.
Spanish etiquette forbids the sovereign
to wear gloves in giving audiences or
holding courts. Alfonso XII, however,
broke through the rule because OF
skin affection in his hands. Trying to
wean Saragossa from republicanism.
he sent it's town council full length
portrait of himself. szHe had stood for
it with gloved handT When Alfonso
XIII. went to that city he noticed a
portrait of himself, but observed its
inaccuracy. He never wore gloves at
home, and as he liked to hold the
steering wheel he never wore them on
the road. He preferred dusty to awk-
ward hands The truth then came out.
The town council, liking him better
than they did his father and not being
rich enough to have a full length like
ness of him painted, had decided to
efface the head of Alfonso IL. and
employ a painter to replace It with
the head of the present king. Alfonso
promised to have photographs of his
hands taken for them, and the gloved
hands of his father have now been eff
faced as the head had been.

Tranps, Drunkards and Minor De-
Iinquents Think Ten Thousand Acre
Tract Will Be Needed-Freedom OBJ
tanned by Making Good"
A "city of vagabonds'' is to be estab-
lished by Nebraska, and all tramps,
drunkards or delinquents of other
kinds who drift into that state will be
in danger of being made citizens of the
new colony.
The city" will not rob the peniten-
tiary of any of it's prisoners, but is in
tended to take care of that large class
Of unfortunates designated by profess
sional charity workers as 'beiow the
poverty line" The bill creating the
new colony is before the Nebraska
legislature.
1t will be the first institution of its
kind in the United States and as an
experiment along untried lines is at
tracing the attention of sociOlogists
everywhere. No real criminals will be
admitted to citizenship, only unfortu-
mates being accepted.
Big Acreage Required.
The bill calls for the establishment
of colony on the prairies far from
the temptations of large city. The
size of the institution is not mentioned
in the bill, but its hackers think from
5000 to 10000 acres will be necessary
a,,ao +l,a oolaY,u Sc IN fulI rr-or.lySnnr ~
der In addition to a big farming area,
there will be shops of all kinds, an iron
foundry, shoeshop, a bookbindery,
a tailor shop, furniture factory, a
planning mill and similar industries.
The output of the colony will not come
in competition with that of private
concerns, but will be used in great
measure in the different state institu-
tons.
As described in the bill, its purpose
is 'fthe establishment of a colony for
the detention, humane discipline and
reformation of male adults committed
as tramps, Migrants, inebriates and
those addicted to the excessive use of
cocaine, morphine and other narcotics
and unable to provide for those de-
pendent upon them"
Freedom on Making Good"
When one coming within those lines
Is brought before the proper authori-
ties, instead of being sentenced to the
city jail or the state prison he will be
sent to Vagabond City No fixed
term of incarceration is settled upon,
but the delinquent is simply sent to
the city until he becomes self support
ing, after which he is sent back to
the world as a man able to take care
of himself While in the 'scity'' he
is taught an occupation or trade, and
instead of the man unable to support
himself he is sent out TO the world
a skilled laborer.
It Is the belief of the supporters of
the bill that from two years to ten
years viii be needed in which to make
the colonists self supporting.
