A Remarkable Woman.

One of the most prominent examples of
the health and long life produced by simple
living, the habitual exercise of self-control,
and constant intellectual activity, is fur
nished by Lucretia Mott of Philadelphia. She
is eighty-six years old, with her mind still alert
and vigorous, while she takes the same earn
est interest in public affairs that she did half
century ago. Lately she delivered an ad-
dress before the Pennsylvania Peace Society.
and was elected its president by the unani-
nous vote of its members. In the history
of the anti-slavery movement the name of
Mrs. Mott is conspicuous. When a very
young girl she resolved to use nothing that
was a product of slave labor, and she per-
sistently carried this into practice. She be-
came Quaker preacher and lecturer upon
intemperance and slavery, and travelled
through several states advocating her pecu-
liar ideas. Having been sent to the worlds
anti-slavery convention in London, in 1910,
she was refused membership on account of
her sex, and this led her to more decided
views upon the woman's rights subject than
she had hitherto entertained, and in 1913
she took prominent part in the first con-
vention of that kind held in this country
her husband being the presiding officer of
the meeting. Her whole life has been one
of constant activity, and she bids fair to
reach her one hundredth birthday with
unimpaired faculties, and as enthusiastic in
the cause of right as she has been through
her whole life.

Some Good Advice.

General Sherman has again been march
ing through Georgia not with the same
"sound of trumpets and voice of war as
before, but on peaceful errand of official
inspection and general observation. The re-
suits of this visit he sums up in letter to
prominent citizen of Atlanta, which is full
of interest alike to Northern and Southern
readers. He says of Georgia's natural ad-
vantages and inducements everything that
the most enthusiastic Georgian could desire
of him; but comparing the state with some
in the North and West he finds that it is
far in the rear, the reason being that to all
of the latter " men felt at perfect liberty to
go, with their families, with acquired wealth
and with their personal energy" Georgians
themselves will admit that there was time
when this could not be said of their own
state and reason why it cannot yet he
said is found in the implication contained
in the Generals request that the South
should "let up on its hobby of "carpet-
baggers." AS the writer of the letter says,
not one in fifty of the men who built up the
Western country were natives of the states in
which they lived, and sour supreme court,
Congress and our most prominent and intel
lectual men now hail from localities of their
adoption-not their birth" The meaning
of this, which not only Georgia but the
whole South should comprehend and remem-
Der, is that American emigration is prompted
by enterprise and that the distinctive Amer.
lean idea is that one man is just as good as
another. "Look ahead and not behind " is
the Generals counsel in his closing lines
when the South can do this the day of her
prosperity will dawn until then she will
continually mistake moonrise for the break
of day

Fighting Polygamy.

Men and women who have the good OF the
nation at heart, and realize what a pest po-
lygamy is, are doing their utmost for its de-
struction. According to the Albany Jour
nal the most determined foe that polygamy
has is the Anti-Polygamy Society of Utah.
1t is composed of men who regard polygamy
as the worst sore now existing upon the
body polite and who possess the courage
to persevere in their convictions. More
than this, il has the active, aggressive sup
port of large number of the most plucky,
determined women in Utah and the country
at large. The result is one Of those positive
forces which generally are successful sooner
or later against any local evil against which
they array themselves The latest news
from the society is that it is pushing things.
A memorial has just been presented to Con-
gress designed to neutralze the shrewd and
plausible petition of the representatives of the
Mormon church, who pray for amnesty and
promise obedience for the Mormon people to
the anti-polygamy law. The society assures
Congress that the petition is simply talk and
means nothing that the expressions and
actions of the saints in Utah indicate that
their repentance and submission to the mai
esty of the law is in name only. By way
of subtantiating what it thus alleges, the
society calls attention to the significant
fact that Apostle John Taylor, president of
the Mormon church, has declared that the
revelations enjoining polygamy came direct
from God, and that, therefore, since it is
Gods religion, neither Congress nor the su
preme Court have the right to interfere.
1t is matter of common notoriety," says
the memorial in question, Z" that the Nor
mons are contracting unlawful marriages
the same as ever that John w. Young has
married his fifth wife, James Welch his
second wife, and John White his third wife,
since the Supreme Court decision was made"
Under these circumstances, and in view of
the course of the Deseret Ne,cs, the Mormon
church organ, which rails necessarily against
the decision, the memorialists ask that the
act of 1862 touching polygamy may be
amended so as to make the general reputa-
ton of conjugal relation proof of marriage,
and the living together in polygamy to con-
sttute the offence 1t thus appears that the
Mormons have encountered the heaviest
weather ever known in their latitude. 1t
has been their boast that they constituted
an immovable body but they are now
brought face to face with what has every
appearance of being an irresistible force.
Their church has survived number of
terrible dispensations, each one of which
threatened to overwhelm it, but there is
good reason to hope that it will not see the
end of the present trouble until it gives up
its peculiar institution of polygamy.
