YOUR DUTY THIS MORNING who fdioubl will arise betimes NUT allrnorninjr, bedeek themselves with new and jrlorious raiment, and respond to the significance of the day by visiting the house of the Lord that has risen. Not all that fail to do so will have the excuse that they lack attire of proper freshness and becoming radiance. , Too many must con fess that indifference and a fondness for the accustomed Sunday dawdling1 keeps them from where they ought to be on Easter morning above all others. While Easter is essentially a religious festival, it is not without significance even to the most irreligious. The pagan saw in the corresponding day of rejoicing which he celebrated more than his civilized and, supposedly. Christian prototype is able to discern. To him it meant the festival of spring, of awakening, of victory by tho procreative forces of nature over the lethargy and stagnation winter imposes. Even in his blindness, the grateful forces within his consciousness moved him to formal observance by way of thanksgiving that the seedtime had again appeared to give assurance of the ultimate harvest."elabThe Christian church makes more orate preparations for Easter than any of the other holy days commemorative of the beautiful story of the Birth, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. Alluring music, the most attractive and the most appropriate form of "worship, flowers and special programs, all the agencies that appeal most and best to the higher instincts of mankind are presented in abundance. Every method a reverent ingenuity can devise for expressing the joy and thankfulness the festival denotes is provided for saint and sinner, for known devout and unknown visitor, alike. Whatever may be your favorite excuse for failing to do regularly throughout the year what your conscience assures you, if consulted, that you ought to do, it cannot apply this morning. If yoir excuse is that the professed Christian and churchgoer behaves no better than his neighbors who are confessedly of the earth, earthy, this is an excellent day to set him a good example and win him to righteousness by contemplation of your own superior conduct. If you lack the new suit or the new hat., or the new gown, comfort yourself as you don the old one. with the reflection that the choir will not sing,, or the preacher preach, or the steward even pass the contribution box. to your hat or your suit or your gown, but to you. It is Easter morning, and you're glad of it, and the proper method of giving substantia! expression to your gladness is to participate in the celebration of the day at the appointed places. "Yet the American people are asked to train their patience still further and trust in the German government's good faith." New York World. It Is not the German gov ernment, but their own that strain the patience of the American people. They do not expect of Germany that it will conserve American interest. They expect that duty t' be performed by their own government. GOVERNMENT BY LAWYERS A ETEII the Utah Par association has se- - lected the judges who shall preside over the courts of Utah and interpret the laws, according to the latest suggestion of tfie Do mix- ra t ic-- 1 rog rcss i ve - com bi nat ion that is itching to lay its hands on the courts, there seeuis nothing for it but to turn all departments of government over to the lawyers. If judges that interpret the law should be chosen by the lawyers, obviously the legislators who make these Jaws and the executive offices that enforce them .should also be cho-e- u by the lawyers. All government is a matter of law. All the departments of government deal primarily with law. the executive with the enforcement of law. the legislative with. the making of law, and the judicial with the interpretation of law. If all wisdom as to the choice of those who shall interpret law is lodged in tho lawyers, manifestly they must also be best fitted to choose them that shall make, and them that shall enforce, the law. Government by lawyers would, of course, be much better than th?t,e now enjoy but, fortunately or otherwise, the government of Utah is government by all the people of Utah. It includes farmers, and doctors, and preachers, and hodcar-rier- s and blacksmiths. These humble citizens are accustomed t choosing their of" ficials in one department of government just as they do in another, doing pretty well on the average, b ing agreeably sur- - Communications serioUS i- Arthur J.

Proper registration of births and deaths is of great importance to the adult members of any community. Not only are such records necessary fcr the accurate study of disease and its prevntion. but they are also of utmost importance in all questions relating to heredity, legitimacy, property rights and identity. No child labor law is of value unless it rests on a system of birth registration and birth certificates, by which the child and the parent can be required at any time to produce positive proof of the age cf the child. Laws regulating the age of consent cannot be rigidly enforced so long as the question of the aire of the erirl depends on the statements of interested persons rather than on official state records. In practically all other civilized nations,' proper registration of births is accepted as a matter of course. Europeans look with astonishment upon the American people when they learn that there are at present only eight American states which have any adequate birth registration. These are Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire. Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Resolutions adopted by. the General Federation of Women's Clubs at San Francisco recognized the. fact that proper registration of births is absolutely essential for the effective operation of the children's bureau recently established by the federal government and of which Miss Julia Lathrop of Chicago has been made the director. Equally Important Is the proper registration of deaths. No civilized community should allow a human being to die and be buried without proper official record having been made of the fact. Such records are indispensable in determining death rate, proportion of deaths and births, duration of life, rates of life insurance, etc., and in preventing and detecting crime. Provision of Model II III. In preparing legislative bills on most subjects, the first question fcr consideration is the drafting of the bill. Ih this case, fortunately it is not necessary,- as a model bill on this subject has been in existence for some time. Tt was drafted In .1907. .patterned after the Pennsylvania law, which has proved most effective. This bill has since been endorsed bv the census department of the United States'gov-ernmen- t, the American Medical association, the American Public Health a sn tar i tnr American Statistical association, the Committee on Uniform Laws, of the American Bar association, the American Association for the Study and Prevention of Infant .Mortality, the general offices of the American Federation of Labor and the National Conservation congress, as well as by numerous local and state associations and other public health bodies. It can, therefore, be said to represent the combined judgment of all those interested in securing better vital statistics legislation and registration for the United States, as well as. the knowledge and experience of those best qualified to speak with on the subject. authority It Is recommended that every effort se especially made to secure the of civic federations, women's clubs, public health leagues, labor organizations, local boards of trade and business men's associations and other similar bodies. In spite of the fact that no personal acciuea to any physicians from a lawbenefjt requiring tration of births and deaths, and fiat regismost of the labor falls on the physicians, the activity and prominence of "the medical pro- lession in securing tne passage of such laws has created the impression in the public mind that these measures are in some wav cf personal benefit to physicians and are of no particular Interest to. the general public. That this is not the case will be seen by considering the importance of vital statistics legislation to the public and its relation to all the important events of life. Public interest in thia question should not be allowed to subside until laws have been passed in every state adequate the requiring proper registration of births and deaths and making at least as lasting a record of the most important events of individual existence as is made of blooded horses, cows des and cats. The neglect of such matters shown by the various states is a source of g wonder to visitors and reflects no credit on European their civilization. The fourth annual conservation which met at Indianapolis. Octobercongress, 1 to 4 1912. endorsed the model bill and its' urged enactment in every state. Mrs. Phillip n Moore of St. Louis, late president of the General Federation of Women's is first vice president of the National clubs Conservation congress. The resolution adopted, on vital statistics was: "The accurate registration of births and deaths, which l as been called the 'bookkeeping of humanity,' is a fundamental necessity for a study and knowledge of disease, and ior au puduc neaith i work: therefore, we affirm our belief in the of vital statistics adopt as early asimportance the model possible bill for the registration of vital statistics endorsed by the United States of the. census and by many prominentbureau professional and scientific bodies." - life-siz- . .

Vital, Statistics. The present condition of the of vital statistics in the United registration States, considering the country as a whole, is not far from constituting a national disgrace. Un- like practically all other civilized countries, there is no general and thorough system for recording the chief events of human and especially the births of children and life, the deaths of people. The director of the censu says in a recent publication: "It seems to me that there is almost nothing more important in the entire field of statistics than vital statistics, because of their direct bearing on the health and consequent welfare of people. It certainlv Is both strange and shameful that the United States should be so far behind the other leading countries of the world In the. registration of deaths, and even more so in the registration of births." The registration of vital statistics in the United States is dependent on the enactment of adequate state laws and thorough enforcement thereof by the authorities charged with that duty. In the absence of state laws, registration may besatisfactory conducted under municipal ordinances, and the registration area of the United States consists of those states and cities of nonregistration states In which the laws are believed to secure the registration of at least 90 per cent of all deaths that occur. The percentage is higher in many states and cities, this being only the minimum required for admission. Following is the list of registration states for deaths for the .year 1914: California, Colorado. Connecticut, Indiana. Kansas, KenMaryland, Massachusetts, tucky, Maine, Michigan. Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, New Hampshire, North Carolina (municipalities of 1000 population or over), Ohio,. Pennsylvania. Riiode Island.

Boys took the lead in the number of births reported to the city board of health the week. Of seventy-fou- r births, during were boys and twenty-si- x forty-eiggirls. The same number of births were reported for the corresponding week last year, with an equal number of males and females. also shows a decrease in deaths, The report twenty-si- x against thirty-si- x being reported as1915. for the same week in A slight decrease is shown in the. number of contagious and infectious diseases. Fifty cases were reported during the week, of which number thirty were chicken pox. Fiftysix were reported last year. The number of houses remaining in quarantine has been reduced each week, with, only ninety-eignow under quarantine, as against 108 for the same period last year. I ! I d, 1 er r, , ht I , ht - tration cities, amounted to only 66.8 per cent of the entire population of the United States. This is a marked increase over the percen- (40.5), due largely, to the per- tage sistent efforts of the bureau of ,the census with the American Medical in in-190- 0 j , I I ! sociation, and with state sanitary authorities, but the hardest part of the work is still before us and we cannot call it a complete success until every birth and death In the United Slates shall be promptly recorded. The registration of births is much less I complete in the United States than the reg- - I Istration of deaths, even in states and cities tiiat have possessed laws for this purpose tor many years. A registration area for as that for deaths births on the same-basi(90 per cent of efficiency) would not Include much more than half a dozen states nor em- than nn.fniirth rf tlia tnl.1 Virapa mnr population of the country. This is due largely to the negligence of physicians am"?y the failure to enforce birth registration law.) s . |
