NOTE AND COMMENT.

If the vital statistics of the State re-
quired by law to be reported and kept
officially are reliable, the baby industry
is on the decline. The figures show that
there are ten deaths in California for
six births, a record that flies in the face
of all statistics of the world and denies
the increase of population. Our record
is palpably a lie; it would be very bad
if true. The simple fact is that doctors
and midwives do not report as the law
requires. while undertakerS cannot con-
ceal their statistics even if they wished
to. AS to a slight excess of deaths of
males reported, that is due to the COM
ing of so many transients, the great ma
iority of whom are men, and of course
there is a percentage of deaths in the
State among them. AS to births the
simple and demonstrable fact is that
midwives and doctors tip-tilt their noses
at the law They openly defy it. If
some poor tramp dares to sleep in an
clubhouse he is promptly jugged- He
has violated the law. But a doctor can
commit a graver offense and no one
dreams of following him for it. Now, it
is of high Importance that vital sta
tistics should be kept. 1t is of great i'm
ported and the report recorded. The
reason for this is obvious. If anyone
who chooses will step into any Re-
corder's Office he will discover that the
doctors and midwives do defy the law.
The Grand Jury is in session; the Dis
trict Attorney is drawing down his sal
ary; the Secretary of the State Board
of Health does not miss warrant day;
the local Board of Health is composed
of doctors, but they are under oath to
support the Constitution and laws. Now
then let some of these officials make an
example Of some doctor who has failed
to report birth at which he officiated
That will settle it. One good fine will
cure the evil. By the way, the doctors
had the vital statistics law placed upon
the statute books; why then do they
belle themselves by now ignoring it?

The old story of Prometheus is parable,
an allegory. Prometheus was on terms of
intimacy with the gods. From them he
stole fire, and gave it to men. For this sin
he was bound to the rocks of Mount Cau-
casus, and vultures were set upon him.
They only ate his liver. This grew again
as fast as it was pecked away. Are his suf-
ferings to be irnagined2 Yes, and realized.
Take modern Interpretation of the par
able. There is no cooking without FIRE. In
cooking and eating the mischief lies. The
stomach is overtasked, the bowels become
clogged, they cannot dispose of the food
that is given them The impurities back
up on the liver Then come the vultures.
The suferings from an outside, visible
hurt, are mere PIN scratch to the torments
of diseased liver

Catron was solely caused by his own
unpopularity, which caused him to run
over 1900 behind the ticket, and not
by party weakness. 1t may be well to
add that it was understood when he

Thus 1t may be understood why it was
that the slave owner of forty years ago

some other way in which to rob labor,
