New York's Death Rate.
Influenza and Measles Have Raised
If This Year Above That Of 1921.

From the weekly BuIrctin Of the Department
of Health for April 20.
Th. mortality during the week Just
closed shows a continuance of the differ
ence on the wrong side of the ledger
which has prevailed since the first week
of the wear as compared with the cor
responding weeks of the year 1921. Each
and every week of this year has so far
shown n more or less decided increase
in the weekly death rates, sometimes
reaching a difference OF five points IN
the rate and at other times rejecting
n difference of 90 OF point For the
whole sixteen weeks the increase is
measured by is points.
The two most important factors In
this increased mortality have been the
prevalence of influenza and n severe
type OF measles infection. During the
week lust closed there were 1.445 deaths
reported from all causes and rate OF
1891. as compared with 1891 deaths and
a ratio of 1907, an increase in the abso-
Lutte number of deaths OF ia and IN
the rate OF .S4 of a point, which Is
equivalent to an increase OF ninety-four
deaths. taking into consideration tho
increase In the population. Happily 1t
appears that the influenza infection has
decreased to such point that the weeks
in the near future will probably show
not only decrease from this cause but
also from the diseases of the respiratory
organs and the chronic organic diseases.
On the other hand, the mortality from
measles reached the highest point OF the
year during the week, there having been
fifty-six deaths reported therefrom. as
compared with fve deaths in the cor
responding week of 1921. This increase
in the mortality from measles was ac-
companicd by an increase In the deaths
from broncho pneumonia. there having
been 121 deaths from this cause. as
compared with 40. an increase OF AZ.
There were twelve deaths reported from
cpcephalitis lethargica, as compared
with two deaths, an increase of ten.
Diphthera and Group also showed
material increase. there having been
twenty eight deaths reported. as COM
pared with nineteen. an Increase of nine.

The Old Treasury Building.

Any structure which can be dam
aged by fire in the way the Treasury
Department Building was damaged
yesterday is likely to be destroyed
by any future fire. Such building
should not house the Treasury of the
United States. Yesterdays fire, with
flames leaping thirty feet above the
roof, was signal that the Treasury
Department needs new home.
This Government has been careless
of it's possessions. For years, until
very recently, the most precious
American historic documents, the
Declaration of independence and the
Constitution, were in a room of the
State Department Building where
they were in danger of fire. Next to
the State Department the records Of
the Treasury are most valued. They
should not be left at the mercy of
flames.
Aside from it's unfortunate loca-
tion, shutting off, as it does, the
Wnlte House from the vista OF Penn
sylvania avenue, the Treasury build
ing has become unfit for it's purpose
In spite of its covering two acres it
is not big enough to house all the
bureaus that properly belong under
one roof. AS business building it
is obsolete.
The best thing the Government
could do would be to put up new
Treasury building according to the
latest methods Of construction and
tear down the old one, turning the
land into park through which
Pennsylvania avenue might find a
less angular course on it's way to
pass the White House.

Croker on the Turf.

While the late RICHARD CROKER
took comparatively little interest in
the turf until he was we'll past SO he
achieved such success in the latter
part of his life that he became an in
ternational figure in racing. The
American bred mare Rhoda B. by
Hanover, which he took abroad in
1895, not only won races but was the
dam Of Orby and Rhodora, winners
respectively of the Derby and the
Oaks, the greatest OF all English
racing events.
While Orby was a yearling Mr..
CROKER offended the English Jockey
Club authorities so seriously that
permission was refused him to gal
lop his horses on the heath at New
market, where only limited num-
ber of training licenses are available.
Mr.. CRoKER's version of the trouble
was that he had refused to stop bid
ding on some yearlings for which
Lord MARCUS BEREsFoRD, who repre-
sented the late King EDwARr. was a
competitor. When told by the late
JoHN HUGGINs, who had consented to
train the horses, that he had been adj
vised that his license for Newmarket
would be Cancelled If he did not give
them up, Mr.. CROKER shipped his
horses to ireland, where he had
bought an estate near the famous
Curragh of Kildare, and there he
bided his time.
He told with grim humor last fall
during his visit to this country of
the CONSERVATION which ensued
when he sent Orby. son of Orme
and Rhoda b., across the Irish Sea
TO win the greatest racing classic
in the world. When he led the colt
back after his victory Mr.. CROKER
said he was surrounded by the usual
throng which on such occasions be-
slows its applause on the thorough
bred stout enough Of heart and sufi-
ciently fleet of foot to win race at

The Power of a Boss.
Another Man Like Croker Might
Rule New York rs He Did.

To TIE New York HERALD: Friends
and acquantainces Of Richard Croker
whose opinions on that conspicuous
leader have been published since his
death seem to be agreed that conditions
have so changed in New York city that
his like as boss will never be seen
again. The New York OF to-day differs
politically greatly from the New York
of Croker's leadership. to be sure Sem
ator Platt declared that eventually
Tammany would be DESTROYED by
Brooklyn; yet that no man will ever
boss 1t as Croker did in the days of its
infancy Is a perilous prophecy.
The people are not different now from
what they were twenty years ago. What
Is different Is the political leadership
the quality of the men who run the
Tammany organization. II another
man OF Croker's intrepidity, strength.
devotion TO politics and understanding
of human nature comes along in poli-
tics he is quite likely to gain n position
in all ways comparable to that which
Croker held
No political leader ever more thor
oughly dominated his party than Presi-
dent Wilson did In the days OF his good
health. No nation has ever been bossed
more completely than Russia has been
by Lenine and Trotzky. These men.
each utterly different from Croker and
from one another in practically every
thing else, have what he had-the su-
preme gift of leadership in politics.
