Haste and Health.

It is not at all wholesome to be in a
hurry Locomotives have been re-
ported to have moved a mile in a
minute for short distances. But loco
motives have often come to grief by
such rapidity. Multitudes in their
haste to get rich are ruined every year.
The men who do things maturely,
slowly, deliberately, are the men who
oftenest succeed in life. People who
are habitually in q hurry, generally
have to do things twice over. The
tortoise beats the hare at last
Slow men seldom knock their brains
out against a post. Foot-races are in
furious to health, as are all forms of
competitive exercises steady labor in
the field is the best gymnasium in the
world. Either labor or exercise car
ried to exhaustion or prostration, or
even to great tiredness, expressed by
tagged out" always does more harm
than the previous exercise has done
good. All running up stairs, running
to catch up with a vehicle or cars, are
extremely injurious to every age, and
sex, and condition of life. 1t ought
TO be the most pressing necessity which
should induce a person over fifty to
run twenty yards Those live longest
who are deliberate, whose actions are
measured, who never embark in any
enterprise without "sleeping over it. y
and who perform all the every day
acts of life with calmness. Quakers
are q proverbially calm, quiet people,
and Quakers are & thrifty folk, the
world over.-DT. Hall.

LINCOLN.

On the day of his death, this simple
Western attorney, who according to
one party, was n vulgar joker, and
whom the doctrinaries among his own
supporters accused of wanting every
element of craftsmanship, was the
most absolute ruler in Christendom,
and this solely by the hold his good
humored sagacity had laid on their
hearts and understandings of his coun-
trymen. Nor was this all for it APP
peared that he had drawn the great
majority, not only of his fellow citi-
zens, but Of mankind also, to his side.
So strong and so pursuasive is his
honest manliness, without a single
quality of romance or unreal sentiment
to help it A civilian during times Of
the most captivating military achieve
ment, awkward, with no skill in the
lower technicalities of manners, he left
behind him fame beyond that of any
conqueror, the memory of a grace
higher than that of outward person,
and a gentlemanliness deeper than
mere breeding. Never before that
startled April morning did such multi

The editor of the Augusta (Ga. J
Chronicle, speaking by direct authori-
ty from the Hon. Alexander H. Step
hens, defines that gentleman's present
opinion as to the validity of the 18th,
14th and 10Th amendments The
first he regards as vital part of the
organic law, having been duly ratified
blythe southern states. He does not
hold the 14th and 18th amendments to
be valid parts Of the constitution,
these having been carried s'by vio-
lent displacement of the regular gov
ernments Of the southern states, and
the erection III their stead of military
despotism. Mr.. Stephens advises no
resistance by force to the execution
of the amendments, but thinks the
wrong should be attacked by constant
exposure and condemnation.

The thirteenth resolution of the

that they go to the country with the
watchword of reform. Perhaps it
would be just as well for this party of
reform to go to the Democratic city OF
New York aud institute some reform
there before turning their philauthro-

debt of that city under Democratic
rule has increased from S31 100000

= The great work undertaken, by
the city of Chicago some three years
since of deepening the summit line of
the Illinois and Lake Michigan Canal
is nearly completed, and the water of
Lake Michigan will soon run into the
Chicago river, thence into the Illinois
river, and so down the Mississippi to
the Gulf of Mexico. One result of
this improvement will be a constant
renovation of the Chicago river, here
tofore so foul and unsavory, by
current of pure water from Lake Mich
igan. A further advantage will be an
increased facility of navigating the
canal. 1t is not expected that any
perceptible lowering of the level of the
great lakes will be effected, the new
outlet being of insignificant capacity
compared with the Niagara river,
which has never as yet sufficed TO
drain off the lakes faster than they are
flled.-N. 7. Sun.

COVrERNING FREE LOVE-

We print this morning a letter from Mira.
Paulna w. Davis in accordance with the
courtesy we have always endCSyOred to show
to lady whose personal qualities cntitle her
to perfect respect. The letter is like all from
the same source and similar sources 1t con-
sists of foundations OF TIE TRIBUNE, and an
exposition of doctrine couched in phrases
which are as vague and indstnct as the ideas
they attempt TO convey. We have repeatedly
referred in carefully measured language to
what appears to us the tendency of the loose
and rambling discussion of the marriage rela-
ton in which a few good women and some
very bad ones are at present lndulging. As
often as we have referred to these matters,
we have been met with excited and incorporate
denunciatOn on the part OF all these advanced
women, some Of whom attack Us III other pa
pers, and others deluge our office with spite
full manuscripts. But neither here nor else
where have we ever seen in print
or in manuscript, single state
ment of what these ladies mean by Free Love,
or what they want when they clamor for it.
Shrill objections to our rem arks upon it are
not lacking. Our statement that the theory
is to many tattered cloak to cover unclean
liyes-a fact too Wiley notorious to dwell
upon-is denied with an carnestness which
shows that the charge gives pain to women
too pure and too ignorant to know the
quality of the allies they are working with.
When we show how the principles avowed by
the outspolen champions of the anti-matrimo-
NAL school lead directly TO open and appalling
crimes, the champions in question pretend to
consider themselves personally accused, and
cry out against the iniustics and bru-
tally of man. But never, in all
their so-called discussions, do they com
nit themselves to any practical theory Of
life which can dispense with the marriage they
denOunce. They never come down from those
nebulous nights where they pass their profess
sional hours, TO face the brutal facts Of exist
ence, and to tell us seriously what they pro-
pose TO do with men and women when they
have, by destroying Marriage, destroyed the
Family. Whenever this question is asked, they
bcta,e themselves to the clouds again, and
begin to weave their half-dozen phrases into
the stale harangue-"Loye makes laws" " laws

We might extract at much greater length,
but it were needless. Every word uttered by

better than Mr.. Mayor Oakley Hail. If he
is guilty of the foolish talk GAS above quoted)
first attributed to him in a Philadelphia paper,
and approyinely copied in The World, he IL a
more shameless and silly liar than We had be-
hcyed possible.
We do MT believe the Mayor such fool;
bat we know The World is. Its articles give
internal evidence that it had carefully con-
suited cur files before circulating this foolish
falsehood, for il has sedulOusly singled out
here and there from our columns of that
date a phrase capable of distortion to It's
ends. It kReW then that it was printing lie,
indorsing a lie, basing vehement arguments
upon a lie which every file of THE TRIBUNE
for 1910 showed to be one complete and mon
strous invention, without the shade of
shadow Of prctext. Is there any reason why
any statement of such journal on any sub
icct should ever henceforth be believed

IN IDIOTIC LIE.

Mayor Hall is many things we do not like,
but he is not fool. We take leave, there
fore, to doubt the accuracy of the Phladel-
phia report that he said, with reference to his
studies concerning the Kelso order:
"Whle studying this question last year. l. with Super
intendent Jourdan went to the Historical Society's

so easily exposed. Here is what TIE TRIBUNE
