The Local Death Rate.

y letter to The Star from Mr.. a. r. Spot
ford printed today. deserves to be widely
read and circulated il order that the posi-
sibly harmful effect of a recent news state
ment in The Star as 10 local and national
sanitary and mortality statistics from the
census may be nullifed. Mr.. Spofford pro-
ceeds to show that it is unfair to Wash
ington TO cite ii as third among the Ameri-
can cities in the matter OF death rate He
gives statistics to prove that the death rate
among the white population of this city is
comparatively low. while that among the
colored people is not so high as it Is in some
other cities which have a large negro popu-
lation- Washington's negroes constitute
roughly one-third Of the total and the dis
crepancy between the death rates of the
two races is so marked as to warrant a
separate consideration for them. The re-
markabe progress Of sanitary science dur
ing the past few years has had it's excellent
erect In reducing both ratios, but it has yet
much TO do to bring that among the negroes
down TO the approximate level of that of
the whites. In this city this work is pro-
ceeding with reassuring rapidity The alb
sence of vile slums the provision of water
and sewerage il the houses even of the
lower classes and the building of model
disease The standard Of education among
the coiored people is steadily rising and
with education comes a clearer conception
Of the laws of health and a more whole
some r. gard for the dictates of prudence.
So that Washington's future is brighter
than IL would be if this good work were not
In progress or the local conditions offered
stubborn barrier to further advancement
Meanwhile it is highly desirable that the
reasons which operate to give this city an
apparently high death rate should be made
known as widely as the bare result of the
aggregated statistics itself The white
family moving TO Washington will find
itself subject TO the chance of mortality
represented by the very small fraction
which stands for the death rate among the
whites. and not by that which stands for
the rate for the whole population. swelled
as it is by the high rate for the coIorsd
third of the people
