Washington Not an Unhealthy City


The article in your Tuesdays issue on
comparative mortality of thirteen most
populouS American cities unwttingly does
great injustice to Washington, in compare
son with the large cities of the north ard
west. The annual death rate is stated as
o. per 1000 Inhabitants, without bringing
into account the fact that this ratio is OBJ
tanned by ignoring the enormous difference
exhibited between the rate Of mortality of
white people and that Of the colored and
foreign elements.
Here is a truthful exhibit of the case. as
found in the official census Of 1900:
Death rate
Number. per LOCO
Native white population Of
Washington. INSTRUMENTATION. 112, 012 ia
Foreign population. ............ 10, $50 31.6
Colored population. ............ 81, 1856 30
Now, in ranking Washington as the third
highest city In it's death rate, leaving
wholly out of account the cardinal fact
that almost 40 per cent of it's inhabitants
die off in a ratio that exceeds by 50 per
cent the average mortality of the great ma
iority of it's citizens, is it not obviou. that
the conclusion arrived at is essentially
false? There is nothing more misleading
than the indiscriminate application to facts
and figures of the principle of averages
unless it be false analogy in reasoning
upon them.
more, Charleston and New Orleans the
most unhealthy cities in the Union in con-
trasting them with northern cities which
generally contain very small proportion
of the colored race. But see how the true
averages appear:
