THE PACE THAT KILLS"
cleveland Plain Dealer

cleveland Plain-Dealer.)
A once charming actress is reported
dying in a New York hospital from
the pace that kills"-an everyday
event-a mere drop of water in the
boundless ocean of disaster from the
same cause.
The pace that kills does kill.
1t does not always kill quickly.
More's the pity. The only escape from
its killing effect is suicide. and sui
eide is but one of it's methods. Sui
eide may shorten the run OF the pace,
out does not battle il.
The devil must laugh in derision of
the victim who foolishly seeks TO es-
cape the penalty by leaping headlong
into his pit through suicide. The
devil may be cheated Of some chance
he has him safe enough, just the
same.
But what the devil must like best
is for the pace itself to kill-to kill
piecemeal.
He must delight with truly internal
fiendishness TO see the exceptionally
bright young man or woman slowly
but surely turn dullard, the active be-
come sluggish, the ambitious lose
heart and hope and faith, the pros
porous feel the pinch Of poverty.
He must delight to see the glow OF
health give way TO the fever flush or
sickly pallor, the bright eye turn
bleary. the firm hand tremble, the
springing gate become a stagger or a
shuttle.
How the devil must laugh to see
s~elf-cOntrol, power, self-reSpect, pride,
hope. manhood steal away, one by one.
leaving the victim to suher out a mis-
cradle existence, 10 be heartsick in
the midst of gaiety and too die alone
in the midst of life.
Surely nothing can delight the
devil more than TO see his victim take
the tempting bait and the barbed
hook and then 10 play with him as
the cruel sportsman plays with the
game trout, knowing he IS cur at
the end Of the line.
II is Inc fun for the devil, but poor
prCht for the victim.
What a wonderful thing the law OF
compensation is.
We may juggle with the laws OF
nature for a while, but the good old
laws continue in force just the same.
We can't alter them or evade them.
The pace that kills has its allure
ments. II has its enjoyment for a
while.
But, some day. gross habits form a
prison that cannot be broken. and
life is narrowed down by hateful
bondage and early death.
The pace that kills offers many
promises.
II keeps but one.
