OUR MORTALITY.

The reports of the Board of
Health show that the death rate
per thousand Of the colort d people
in this city is largely in excess of
that of..the whites and far out of
proportion to what it should be.
1t seems that our manner of
living, our scant attention to the
ordinary laws of health and the un
sanitary surroundings of the peO-
pie are largely responsible for
this state of affairs and unless
some effort is made to check exist
ing evils and to better con-
ditions, the Negro death rate will
continue to increase to an alarming
extent.
The mat ter is a serious one pre-
senting many grave problems but
we believe an effort should be
made to find some remedy and
to that end we suggest that our
leading men give some attention
to it. We certainly ought to take
some interest in the lives. of the
people and at once inaugurate a
campaign of education upon the
lines of hygiene and sanitation.
Much good can be accomplished by
such a course and our ministers.
lawyers, physicians and other
leaders of the race should take the
matter in hand at once.
We shall have more to say upon
this vital subject iu our next issue.

which IL is alleged that there is IN

A report is said to have been re-
celyed by the state department from
Consul Guenther IN Frankfort 10 that

tries, on account Of which leading Swiss
statesmen are looking about with
a view 10 forming close relations with

A Swiss newspaper, the Allgemelne
