plish this my conception of duty
! could not be pitched too high. | re-
corded a vow in my heart that
] would at least honestly endeavor to
fulfill that duty; that | would con-
scientiously adhere to the principle
salus populi suprema lex; that |
would never be a sycophant Of power
nor a ~flaterer O. the multitude; that
if need be | would stand up alone for
my conviction of truth and right, and
that there would be no personal sac
rifice too great for my devotion 10
! tho republic"
Carl Schurz's opportunities did not
differ in kind from the opportunities
accorded by "the generous hospital
ity of the American people" to every
man of foreign birth who assumes the
duties and obligations of American
citizenship. If Mr.. Schurz made more
of his opportunities than most OF
them have done, it was because of
his superior talents and OF his super
ior service to the cause OF American
ideals.
Sitting in his chair in the senate
chamber the solemn conviction was
recorded in his own mind that there
would be no personal sacrifice too
great for my devotion to the repub-
&c" Throughout his long and hon
ored life he never swerved from that
c-nviction.
The United States in the present
crisis is not asking such service from
men OF German blood as Carl Schurz
and his generation so we'll and so
periodically gave. 1t is not asking
them to risk their lives or their prop
erty. It is not asking them to risk
even their personal comfort and con
venience. 1t demands no sacrifices
whatever. 1t asks merely that they
shall abstain from corspiring against
the peace and welfare of the United
States for the military advantage of
a Eropean monarchy.
Never did nation ask less from
those to whom it had opened all its
| opportunities without restriction or
restrain. Never was a nations gen
crosby and trust more shamefu1ly
betrayed as by the German-Ameri-
cans who have decreed that the Unit
ed States must be a Prussian vassal.
What would Carl Schurz have said
OF all that treacherous and traitorous
crew?

MIND THE NORMAL BABIES

If one-tenth of the fuss that result
ed from the action of the doctor who
permitted the Bollinger baby to die
were made, says the Stockton Tnde-
pendent, in the interest of normal
babies and the army of child workers
who are being fastened to an early
grave or made to live and work un-
der conditions that disgrace present
day civilization. some real sense
would be displayed and some real
good might be accomplished.
The silly sort Of sentimentality that
criticised the doctor who refused TO
perform an operation that might
have saved the life of the infant and
permitted it to grow tip deformed
blind IN n eye, with less than an
even break for escaping being an i'm
beetle and with no hope whatever OF
its ever being able to paddle it's own
canoe. should it reach full maturity.
is perhaps more deserving of pitv
than censure.
Today in the United States there
is an army of 100000 children at
work in mills, factories, canneries

MESSAGE FROM CARL SCHURZ

Sixteen years after he had arrived
in the United Mates, a refugee from
German military despotism, Carl
Schurz was elected to the senate of
the United States from Missouri,
says the New York World.
In his "reminiscences" Mr.. Schurz
gives a noble and inspiring account
of his emotions when he took his
seat as "a member of the highest law
making body of the greatest of re-
publics." We respectfully commend
it to the earnest consideration Of all
citizens OF alien birth or blood:
Il wildly remember the feelings
which almost oppressed me as | first
sat down in my chair in the senate
chamber. Now | had actually reach
ed the most exalted public position
to which my boldest dreams Of NJ
bition had hardly dared to aspire.
II vas still a young man, just forty.
Little more than sixteen years had
elapsed since | landed on these
shores, a homeless waif saved from
the wreck Of a revolutionary move
ment in Europe. Then I was enfold-
ed in the generous hospitality of the
American people opening to me, as
freely as to its own children, the
great opportunities of the New
World. And here I was now a mem
Der OF the highest law-making body
of the greatest OF republics.
Should I ever be able to repay
my debt of gratitude to this country
and to justify the honors that had
been heaped upon me? To accom-

PROF. GRESHAM HONORED
Presentation of Loving Cup by Lincoln High
School Alumni to Their Former Pincipal.


That a prophet is not always with
cut honor in his own country or his
home town was clearly demonstrated
Monday evening at the Paseo Y. M.
G. A. auditorium, the occasion being
a testimonial rendered Prof. G.. N.
Grisham by Lincoln High School Alu-
nj Association. Bouquets of oratory,
wreaths of acclamation like unto a
royal coronation were promiscuously
interspersed with school pennants,
school colors of gold and blue, native
palms and garlanded jardinieres,
which made a setting for the rostrum
wherein sat the guest of honor and his
corps of teachers. Nor was homage
being paid to new arrival, con-
auering hero just entering our gates,
whose fame and whose coming had
been heralded by the blare of trum-
pets as a fit accompaniment to his
itinerary. 1t was a voluntary heart
felt expression of sincere regard of
unqualified appreciation, of deep rev.
erence for a man who for twenty-six
years had walked erect before them,
teaching them by precept and example
how to think, how to act how to do
and what to be in the greater school in
which they must be pupils and schol-
ars, and in turn teachers and more
over efficient doers in the work of the
world. There was the bushing maid
en- just on the Threshold of woman
hood, her last years diploma scarcely
dry, and the beardless youth gazing
dimly into futurity like old Balboa as
he stood in the shallow waters of the
newly discovered Pacific, it's illimit-
able expanse still an unknown region.

flowerets of Eden should succor and
cheer the toiler while yet in his
sense to inhale their fragrance and
be charmed by their beauty. They
had gathered here to scatter flowers
at the feet of their beloved Gamaliel
They had come to place a chaplet
upon his brow woven of the forgetme-
nots of their admiration and gratitude.
Miss Claudia Quarles told in a brief
paper of the origin and purpose of the
Association. Its members desired to
keep alive cherished memories of
their Alma Mater, of the struggles and
mutual triumphs and hopes for the
future. They had enlisted campaign
cooperation for mutual inspiration
and for the worlds betterment.
The presentation speech by Mrs
Lorraine Richardson Green was a gem
of gesture and word painting. The
speaker reveled in encomiums of
praise; the scholar the educator, the
orator, the philanthropist, the citizen,
the man were in turn the beneficiary
of her eloquent portrayal of his life
and work.
Prof. Grisham received from her
hands a beautiful silver loving cup
supported by an ebony base, engraved
thereon was the following inscription:
From the Lincoln High School
Alumni Association to G. N. Grisham
as token of gratitude for years of
service and benevolence, July ~,
1915"
Prof. Grisham was visibly affected; !;
tears filled his eyes and his emotions
were big with a sense alike of Joy
and sorrow as he himself confessed
in a response that to many who heard
1t was the best of his life. He felt
glad of this reception, this manifest
appreciation of what he had tried to
do but it was with regret that of the
little he had accomplished he realized
that there had been so much more left
undone of the great work needed to
be done. He could find no fault with
his ambitions. his aspirations or his
ideals; nor had he shirked a single
duty as he saw it. He had tried to
weave a beautiful fabric of manhood
and womanhood out of the crude ma
terials that had come to him and II
was with pleasure that the judgment
of his former pupils here assembled
had pronounced his work good. He
wanted to see the standard of efficien
cy of Lincoln High School raised, moi
lowered that his successor, whoever
he might be, would bring to the school
added strength, vigor and power tC
organize and shape its future. Lin
coin High School must achieve newer

object of the meeting paid high trib-
ute to the distinguished eX-principal,
who May 1, on account of his long
service and failing health had volun-
tarily rendered his resignation to the
Board of Education much to its regret
and which won from that august body
series of resolutions expressive of
it's high regard for his culture, the
efficiency he had brought to bear in
the organization of Lincoln High
School and the direction of his forces
for more than score of years. Presi-
dent Williams did not believe in saw
ing rosebuds to be scattered alone in
cemeteries; with the poet he held that
If with pleasure you are viewing any
work a manis doing;
If you like him or you love him, tell
him now;
Don't withhold your appreciation till
the parson makes Grafton
AS he lies with snowy lilies Ger his
brow;
For, no matter how you shout it, he
won't really care about it;
He won't know how many teardrops
you have shed;
If you think some praise is due him,
now's the time to slip it to him,
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he's dead!
They owe duty to the living. The

Round after round of applause greet
ed his appearance and followed his
closing words. 1t was an occasion
long to be remembered Aside from
the loving cup, memory volume was
handed Prof. Grisham in which sew
enty-six of the Alumni had penned
