This Town and Its People.

By the enumeration OF the inhabi.
tants Of New York city taken by the
State the population on June 10 Is
showu to have been 5,245,s12, n number
high enough. as all the patrons of Its
transportation lines will agree. but
considerably smaller than the est
mates that have heretofore been made.
On July I. 1914, the Census Bureau
gave a population Of 5.333.537 TO the
town. while on the same date the
Board Of Health estimate put the
number Of persons in the five Dor
oughs at 5~.5S3,S11. This discrepancy
Of 100000. as The Sun pointed out
at the time. laid the death rate calcu.
lation OF the Board Of Health open to
suspicion.
This year the Department Of Health
IL figuring the death rate on the as
sumption that. as OF July 1, there ar
6,SO6,532 residents in the city. Ac'
cording to the State census these fig
ures are 100000 too high, while the
Federal statlsticians were ut least
100000 out of the way a year ago,
1t 10 plain that the whole statistical
structure Of the Board OF Health
must be revised to bring it into ac'
cord with the facts, and a new factor
for estimating the annual growth OF
the town should be devised.
While II must amend our concep'
tion Of the improvement in the NOR
tality rate, New York need not de-

They are good. The increase in Father
KNIcKERBocKER's family since 1900

China is taking up dancing, that is,
the girls are. The china Daily Press
tells with considerable enthusiasm OF
a recent exhibition given by the ON
bined effort OF several schools at
Shanghai There were regular West
ern gymnasium drills. exercises and
a variety of dances such as certainly
no Chinese ever dreamed Of a
few years ago" Only a few privi-
legged males were allowed In the
grounds, but there were four or five
hundred deeply interested Chinese
mothers of families. "The dance was
a treat" The girls went through 1t
as though they thoroughly enjoyed it.
Evidently Western dancing appeals
to Chinese; DIR. WI TfNG-rANo said:
This is the real young China. We
have shown what our boys can do. Now
we have the girls in hand. and this If n
good beginning"
How long yet before the Flowery
Kingdom will join the West in the
tango, maxixe and fox trot?

Evidently the canal company has

To rHE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir:

The least the lawmakers in State
or naAlcn can do Is to try to make
legislation conform to the accepted
principles Of commission government
instead of pe%rpetually forcing regu-
latlon to conform Itself to politi-
cal Authorizations about the merits
OF competition. Until lawmaking in
the domain Of regulated enterprise
reveals a sensible appreciation of the
facts which are summed up in regu-
lation. until legislative interference
with the work of regulating commits
sions Is less constant, there is no
chance that a sound policy Of rates
and service regulation car be formed
and adopted.
