Tha Question Is asked! much is tne press to be blamed koml cldesr ks well as for suicides, are they not ecoonvplloes la the Crimea Considering the occupations we find that for males the general laborers, and those sngagad In agriculture are Che least prone to suicide. Holdiere and sailors are most prone to die try sulclda. It. Is a prominent cause of death for saloon' keepeesv brewers, rlgarmakera, servants, architects, bank era. collectors, commercial travelers and druggists, tailors.

Journalists and lawyers. Among employed women we nnd that It la a prominent cause of death for telegraph and telephone cigar makers and stenographers. In ths order mentioned. The actively 1 Insane or those hopelessly dlesassd mentally are not prone to suiciaa." Then, dlscuestnr la detail tha question of publishing newt of suicides, the report aay a "If a shocking accident occurs there Is at once congregated a mob who gloat ever the eight, it la the same class. 'and those only to whom the press caters when It publishes accounts of suicides.

There Is no possible excuse. Tha plea of 'news' Is a makeshift. In a large proportion of the eaocounts of deaths from other ranees no mention la made of the cause. Why do not the papers get ths details, and publlan minute de scriptions of the Buffering and death of victims of abortion There might be some excuse for this, for the patients are criminals, who submitted while apparently in full self control, and such publication might help to stoo tha crime. "The present decadent condition of (he press of the United Statea la onto mentioned.

There la hardly a dally Is sued which Is an honor to. tills century. Much of the 'news' Is such as might better be left unpublished. The papere make domestic scandal and divorce oonular. aa If considered highly apectable.

They publish ths details of a robbery, or a murder, aa rr cne criminal were to be admired for hla skill. Is It true that the people demand such 'news' Ws doubt It "In conclusion, we as defender of tha health and morals of ths communi ties request the press of America, to refrain from further oubllcatien of auch affairs. We ask thai editors to mentally place themselves a members of bereaved families, and to consider If In making such puMtoatlons they are doing as they would dona by. "If. however.

In all my perlence I never before heard of any such action upon a upon a majority pennon, or any ornor kind of a resolution, and because I dared to Inform the property owners ot tne truth I don't want some greenhorn outsider to rise up In his supposed wisdom and run over with sephyra and conoeit. and while so effervescing attempt to teach the elementary principles of arithmetic from figures furnished by some nromotor of wood block paving, which Is not binding upon snyone In letting a contract.
