GRACE LUSK GIRL
OFHGH AMBITION
IN SCHOOL DAYS
Bv BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

wAURESHA. wis, May 2s.-A day
or two ago Grace Lusk's father Slip
ped into my hand, during his daugh-
ter's trial for the killing OF Mrs. mary
Roberts. a picture Of her taken in her
graduation gown.
She was seventeen years old at the
time, and had just completed her
course Of study at the Stoughton
High School. In those days Grace
Lusk wore her pretty brown hair
piled high on her head and she looked
out on the world with an eager and
induiring gaze.
OF course, the gown was white and
50 were her gloves and slippers. ana
she made as pretty a picture Of sweet
ana serious girlhood as II would be
possible to imagine.
Her Graduation Gift.
I doubt IL, at that time, Grace Lusk
had ever had a party frock or had
gone to a dance. All her eager young
ambition was centered on getting an
education that, in time, would enable
her to teach in the high school.
Her father had told her that she
might choose a graduation present,
and she had selected, not a wrist
watch, nor a pearl pin, nor a plano,
but the money to take her through
the normal school the following
autumn.
She was, you see. the type of girl
who is never content to rest on her
oars. \ As soon as she accomplished ed
one thing in the way of scholarship
she was determined to push on and
acquire something else.
So she entered the normal school.
and, as usual. kept at the head Of her
classes.
Then her fathers health broke
down and for want OF the necessary
funds she was obliged to stop.
But this did not discourage her, as
long as there was a remote chance Of
getting a school to teach. And she
drove fourteen miles one day to take
the examination, and after she had
written out her papers she drove an
other fourteen miles to the county
seat and took a second examination.

WITH THE EDITORS,
THE PRESIDENTS APPEAL

Lynching is unpatrlOtlc. MOD outbreaks are
treason to American principles. The president
thinks it worth while to address the American
people for the purpose of pushing home to their
minds these self-evident truths. He thinks it
worth while to appeal to governors and law Off
GERS everywhere, as well as to "nen and women
of every community who revere America and. wish
to keep her name without stain or reproach, TO
make an end Of this evil" ~
His words are well spoken and opportune. There
is need for the American people to consider the
disgrace of mob outbreaks not only as domestic
consideration, but in relation to the effect on
world opinion.
We are battling in the world war for the cause
of democracy. How shall we fight for democracy
as boon to the oppressed peoples of Europe, it
our own record is stained by violence a9d mob
outrages? How shall we convince Europe that we
are disinterested champions of freedom, when we
abuse her at home? How shall we meet the Ger
man accusation that the justice which is out
ragged in America is not the sort to force on Euro
pean peoples by arms? s,=5
And it is not only the SOUTH alas, that permits
mob outbreaks. We have lynched no one in Mime
apolis-as yet. But we have seen menacing
life to the unreasoning mob spirit. We have test
ed the inability unwillingness of our law Off
cersto restrain that spirit and stamp It out Else
where over this broad country there have been
cowardy Weddings to the suddenly stirred passion
Of mobs, to the fierce desire to burn and even iA
in order to attain victory in controversy over
wage or other differences. s 5y q s
If America is to be the shining champion Of
human liberties, of democracy as the best form
of government man has yet invented, shall We per-
nit her to stand forth with this blot on her scut
cheon? AS the president so forcefully points out,
we have made our own laws. Shall we not then
obey them? Shall we adopt the debased moral
standards Of our enemies at home, while striving
to overthrow those standards abroad? 4
The presidents appeal should stimulate solemn
reflection in every American mind, and thus bring
about ivelier sense Of Individual responsibility
for theouthreaks that too often disgrace us. -
