groups?" he asks. why should the
death rate of single women also be
higher than that of wives? 1t Is OBJ
vious that part of the heavy death
rate among bachelors Is due to the
fact that many in delicate health are
not willing to assume the burden and
responsibility of family.
There is demand, more or less

These are some of the reasons why
marriage promotes longevity. accord

Most persons agree that married
men live longer because their lives

responsible. The testimony to the man in the

UNDERWOOD FOR THE SENATE.

Congressman Underwood Is being urged to
stand for tho United States senate from Alabama
and the New York Sun is found among his
supporters The Democratic leader is strong
and able man and s sanely and wisely pro
eressive. He has proven his strength and
ability by tho manner in which he has handled
the tariff bill in the house and he has demon
strated his Democracy by compromising when
compromise was possible without surrender Of
principle and when it was necessary for him
to recede from position in order TO hold the
party forces intact for resistance to the assaults
OF tho protectionists He has proven himself
worthy of the senate. and has proven it so we'll
that he can probably overcome tho handicap
