WE LIVE LONGER THAN OUR FATHERS.

M ANY diverse statements are made regard
4 Il ing the effect of modern sanitary science
and its application upon the death rate, and they
doubtless all of them can claim some justih-
cation in the limited collections OF fact upon
which they are based, but the fact that
they are deductions from partial information is
not prominently displayed, and therefore the dis
crepancies in the statements are not explained.
Municipal Engineering Magazine quotes statistics
to the effect that the death rate in Chicago in the
decade from 1896 to 1905 was I47I, in that from
1876 to 1885, was 2o3o and in that from 1906 to
1875 was 1886 per thousand of population per
year, an Improvement Of 80 per cent, also that
the average age at death has increased from 10
years, months u days, in 1875 to 20 years a
months, 20 days, in 1885, to "a years, months,
days in 1896, and to 81 years, 10 months, day
in 1905. In 1875 only 81 per cent. OF those who
died were over 90 years old, and in 1905 1915 per
cent. were over 90, IoI per cent. were over 20,
and 81 per cent. were over so, or in 1905 nearly
as many were over so years old as were over 90
in 1875.
The most obvious reason for material in
crease in age at death in such city as Chicago
is that while the city is growing rapidly the adj
ditions to the population are dsproportonately
young, few old people coming in proportion to
those Of youth or middle age and in later years
these people have grown old so that the proper
ton of old persons has materially increased.
In one of the literary monthlies statement
has been made that the reduction in death rate is
due to better sanitation among children, but that
the death rate among persons Of middle age has
actually increased, and it is claimed that this is
dae to the strenuous life of our modern civiliza-
ton, which takes the young men, particularly,
who have been saved by the better conditions in
infancy and wears them out before the period OF
middle age has passed.
Municipal Engineering shows that the average
age at death of those reported in the census Of
1890 was 2947 years, and of 1000 was 1870,
showing material increase in the age at death
tor the country at large.
From the State Board of Health reports of
Massachusetts, for cities and towns over 5000
population, the age at death in that State was
1873 years in 1906, and s4.4 in 1000 showing an
apprecable increase in S years The figure for
Massachusetts from the United States Census re-
port for 1000 is $685. st.i higher, but it includes
rural population.

TEMPERANCE IN LANGUAGE.

He JOURNAL trusts that during the re-
mainder OF the campaign a reasonable
amount of temperance in language will be used
There seems to be a disposition to fall into per-
sonal abuse or ridicule which is to be deplored
and it would be well for both sides to guard their
tongues and their pens On both sides matter
has been sent to the newspapers and to this paper
in particular that it would have been we'll to have
left unsad
The question of whether Delaware shall or
shall not adopt prohibitory law is one that can
be settled by the reason and judgment of men,
and we cannot understand how personalities enter
into the dispute. Every citizen has a right to
take the view Of the matter that he deems fit
and he has right to so express himself In this
struggle over temperance let the language be
temperate. And then, after the election is over,
no one will have reason to regret words that NAV
have been unpleasant and which were spoken
without due delberaton in the heat of debate
Wilmington will survive and still be here which
ever side wins.

RAILROAD PRoBLEM.
" IcEPREsIDENT ROBERT MATHER. o

NJ NlCE-PRESIDENT ROBERT AATHER. OF
the Rock Island system, in an address be-
fore the Chicago Chamber of Commerce the
Dther evening, gave sensible view Of the situa-
ton between the railroad corporations and the
government. The railroad problem, he asserted
had become a national question not merely be-
cause the companies had been subjected to public
criticism but because the life of the nation de-
pended upon the transportation facilities and the
correct solution of the questions that had arisen
The railroad companies have not been able 70
meet the demands made upon them, and for this
reason crops rotted in the field in the West be-
cause OF inadequate facilities. The companies
should have been able to meet these demands
with enlarged equipment When the companies
tried TO secure the money essential to enlarge
their facilities they found that their securities
were unsaleable. Mr.. Mather attributed this 20
the misdeeds of the railroad companies them
selves and Mr.. Mather believed the companies
could be held in check by no surer means than
by determined executive who would keen them
in check by the imposition Of drastic fines and
punishmentS
And in one of the financial articles in a leadi,,
paper, one reason given for the failure TO sell
the securities Of the corporations was the nre,,,-
lent, belief that the insiders were getting NOR.

than they should receive. In some respects the
situation in the financial and large commercial
world is remarkable. Business, that is outside Of
the handling of securities is still at high pres
sure. There is no evidence Of lack Of pros
perity Factories are running. Men are en-
ployed at good wages. The trouble does not
come from the great mass Of business men or
workingmen, but it is up to the captains of in
dustry. As Mr. Mather says himself, they have
brought much of it upon themselves, and it is for
them to use their best endeavors to restore the
confidence that has been temporarily impaired in
some OF the largest commercial and business en-
terprises. And as one of the hnanciers expressed
it. there need be no fear that the President will
recommend any measures that will seriously Grip
pie the business interests Of the country The
President is as much concerned in propriety as is
anyone else.
