THE SUICIDE SAND WILL DO IT. MANIA. observed i a locomotive in the railroad A correspondent, referring1 to articles recently printed in the yards one day . Chicago Tribune relative to the increase of suicide, quotes from an Il was iraliiftg In thfl roundhouse, where the locomotive stay; address made over fifty years ago by historian and leading Baptist It whs pantiaf for the journey, it was M. in which the Rev. in latter John the Pec'.c, Illinois, clergyman coaled and manned, touched upon the same subject, Mr. Peck held that suicide in And it had a bO fully the fireman "as filling this country was more common among the ge who had come here full of from continental Europe than it was among the natives or those It appear that locomotives cannot al who had come here from Great Britain. He al3Q held that defec- tive moral, rather than defective mental, conditions are responsible for suicide, and that our schools are largely responsible, because they do not equally develop the mental and moral natures. As to the first, statistics show that nationally has nothing to do with the number of suicides, except as one nationality is m numerous than another, just, for instance, as there are more suicides in New York state because it has more people than any other state, and there are more in New York City and Chicago be cause they have more pe pie thin any other two cities in this All nationalities share alike in responsibility for the coumtrygrewsome business. As to the flecond statement, the school system is n ' at f uilt or has anything to do with the increase of suicides or with suicide at allHighly moral people are committing suicide evtry u ., highly educated people, In the larger number of cases suiciue grows out of weariness of life or hopelessness arising from conSuicides from the last cause are rapidly increasitinued A few persons commit suicide because of financial losses or ngexposure of personal dishonesty, but they are few, Business msn In stand adveisity, as a rule, better than they do prosperity, is of the suicide two one of the C3S women, usually produced by causes, unrequited affection or domestic infelicity-Iis doubtful, however, whether iy ono commits suicide who is The important question, then, in a normal montal condition. for the sociologist is to discover what is producing this abnormal condition and its remedy. Possibly it may be found in the pressure of modern competition, in the growing demands and complexities of civilization, which increase the burdens of life and undermine health, and possibly in the weakness of home influences and the loosening of moral restraint. The cause is worth searching event among all nationalifor, for suicide is becoming an every-da- y in men conditions of all and life, among women, and especially ties, suicide was a ia.fi e.enta fow yeais ago, Juvenile children. but now it is rapidly increasing. It should be carefully studied. Life ought not to be cheap or undesirable at its beginning. - , t FOOLISHNESS oF PROFANITY. A Concord acquaintance somewhat given in the wt to very common forms of profanity decided to stop it. lie secured a little note book, and narked therein oueh lapse taking his book out and making the entry at the time it was made, regardless of who wan present or where he was.. After seventeen entries, he was entirely cured. There are many in Concord who might try it, and if successfii,they would he more loveable and delightful companions. Afeking the acquaintance how he came to do, he replied : "I was sitting at a table in the Wonolancet Club one evening, and four men were sitting at. another table not far away. One of them was using the most objectionable profanity, and using it continually. I sat back and listened to him and said to myself, If my profanity is part as distasteful to any friend on earth or to any stranger as that man's profanity and blasphemies are to me, every rule of gentle conduct and good behavior and respect for the rights of others demand that I stop it and stop it at once. "I came to the conclusion then and there that no man who uses such language as that man uses should be permitted to associate with people who love decency and right doing, and I decided that I would no longer give any man a chance to enroll me in that list, one-hundret- h TAFT, THE PROBABLE CANDIDATE. about the way with travel along life's slippery track, If your loud is rather heavy you're al- wuys slipping hack.

Taft as the Republican nominee Estatefor President, made by the Ohio convention, and the naming of Due from National Taft delegates by other states, forcast the action of the Republican C ish on Hand national convention. There is no evidence to date that the present secretary of war will have opposition other than the complimentary votes for state favorites, such as Hughes of New York and Cannon of Illinois. As Taf t's opponent, there is no one to qestion Bryan's supremacy within his party, fo that the national compaign between Taft and Bryan is virtually on. Tboee have opposed Rosevelt's policies and because of that opposition have announced they will do nothing to restore prosperity until after the election, night as well accept the inevitable with good grace, and instead of waiting until after election, immediately proceed to help undo what they Lave done to bring distress and misfortune. Tliev have no choice as between Taft and Bryan, as to the enforcement of law against predatory wealth, and in their dilemma there is nothing to do but to bow to the majesty of the law and thus serve the common good. Our opinion is that the Standard Oil has seen the handwriting on the wall and has capitulated. The reopening of the mines at Butte seemed to convey that information, With other great interests following their example, a returu of prosperity may be near at band.
