10TH DISTRICT HAD HIGH DEATH RATE But Infant Mortality Shows
 Decrease Over
 1918.

The deaths of infants under one year old. by districts, per 1000 living births for the year 1919. in a report just completed and given out by Health Officer Dr. William H. Coon this morning shows that the Tenth district had the highest death rate with 123, and the Sixth and Ninth districts were the lowest with 66 each.
 In comparison with the record of 1918 the report shows a decided de- crease, the high mark for that year being 167 deaths in the Eighth dis trict, and the lowest being 66 deaths in the Sixth district.
 The averages by months for seven years from 1912 to 1918 of the death g of infants under one year shows that August is the leader with an average of 54, and November is low with an average of 26. pr. Coon explained the high rate for August was due to the extreme hot weather which affects the food and causes the milk to sour.
 The actual deaths of infants from 1909 to 1919 shows a reduction of 8 per cent.

HUGHES NOW URGES
 CURBON BUREAUCRACY

Wellesley, Mass, June 14-Charles F.. Hughes, speaking on ''The Patriot ism of Peace' at the Wellesley College on bureaucracy.
 ''The practice of putting large ad- ministrative powers at the disposal of officers needs a curb." he said. That patriot in peace demands gov ernment upon established principles and he should always be ready to con- test oficialism and bureaucracy with it's readiness to suppress individual freedom by capricious administrative action and to install in departments of a supposed free government what is nothing short of a reign of terror.
 Unless we have in peace time that dominant sentiment which prompts a continuous and self-sacrificing devo- ton to public ends. the sacrifices of patriotism in war will have been in vain. Our national ideals are neither imperialistic nor racial. They are not bound up in anything short of estab- fishing and maintaining constitutional government as the sure base of lib erty."
 We have too many evidences of a readiness to take advantage of oppor- tunity to establish autocratic admin istration- The ease with which abuses have arisen and have been condoned should give us more anxiety than wild utteran nces which easily defeat them selves. The tendency to crave and assert arbitrary power and assert it,
