GRACE LUSK

Justice is we'll indicated in the con-
viction of Grace Lusk.
Had she shot DR.. Roberts, the man
who knowingly lured her into wrong,
it scarcely can be doubted that acQuit.
tai would have occurred.
She was an innocent woman of un-
character, studious, earn
est, high minded, before he came into
her life, and, while nothing in extern
uation of her fateful act may be said,
it is not unfair to observe that today
she unquestionably would be a worthy,
honored woman but for the studied
play upon her sympathy and her af-
fections.
Grace Lusk deservedly suffers the
for which her grave trans
gression calls, but in the whole drama
the elemental guilt clearly rests upon
another.-Madison Democrat.

THE SHOE IS ON THE OTHER

Germany devoted fifty years to cuI-
tivating and building up in Germany a
hatred of Great Britain. The German
leaders believed that hate must pre-
cede a successful. Now it seems that
the shoe is on the other foot. Ger
many, having made treaties with Rus
STA, Ukraine, Finland and Roumania,
and having satisfactory arrangements
with Austria-Hungary and Turkey, is
changing her tune and is anxious to
placate England in order that she,
Germany, may hold all she has. The
German rulers think they have enough.
They are demonstrating their change
of view by permitting Prince Lichnow-
sky's book to be circulated in Ger
many. It is reported that cheap edi-
tons have been prepared and they
are to be found in all parts of Ger
many. This is for the purpose of
sOftening the hatred against England.
1t is the starting of movement on
the part of Germany to seek peace
with England on the basis of continu-
ing to control the countries which are
now under German authority. If Ger
many could secure peace now which
left her all these vast acquisitions, her
future position of despotic world SUI
premacy would be assured. Germany
feels that the only obstacle now be-
tween closing up a peace deal and
keeping what she has is Great Brit
ain Germany has undertaken to buy
France through secret processes, and
now she is proceeding to make some
use of the British empire. This is a
time when all the allied countries
must be on their guard, and we have
no doubt Great Britain will be too
smart to be either tricked or fooled
The fact that Germany is attempting
to put down the hatred of Great Brit
ain which she devoted fifty years in
building up but illustrates that Ger
many cares for nobody and has no re-
gard for anything unless it shall aid
Germany.-Des Moines Capital.

GERMANY IS BANKRUPT

Without a decisive victory, Germany
cannot even be put in the way Of re-
storing her internal economic affairs
to the status quo ante. She has been
playing a financial game of a charac-
ter that would land any Of her citi-
zens in prison, and she is now insOlv-
ent. She is now paying interest on
her loans out of further borrowings,
and she can not avoid following the
same policy in peace. Interest on
her war debts, if honestly paid in full,
would consume the entire surplus pro
duction of her people. The aggregate
taxable incomes Of persons receiving
in 1913 $3.50 year and over would be
eaten up by interest on a debt less
than Germany bears today. But this is
not the only factor in Germany's finan-
ciaI disgrace. By exercise of arbitrary
power, the German government has
managed to merge with its shaky
structure of public credit the whole
structure of private credit as well.
Peace without indemnities or equiva-
lent commercial concessions would al
most inevitably mean universal finan-
cial collapse.-The New Republic

DEATH RECALLS
OLD HOP DAYS

Abraham Thornton, a veteran of
the civil war and for 81 years janitor
of the Baptist church in BaraboO,
died at Harrisville, Ohio, Sunday,
May 10, 1918, aged 76. His fathers
name also was Abraham, and the
family came from Flushing, Belmont
county, Ohio, over so years ago, set
thing near Loganville and engaging
in hop raising, which. like tobacco
now in many parts of Wisconsin, was
a most profitable industry then, till
the disastrous crash came in the late
CO.'S. The Thorntons located at Lo-
ganville because several white fam
lilies from the old home town in Ohio
had settled there-William Palmer,
for instance, fine old abolitiOnist

Erie and thence across to Canada and

of the Wisconsin assembly in 1866,

Dornecks. John Dorneck died there
in 1879, his son Henry at Reedsburg,
a quarter century later. The Thorn

Ohio and Wisconsin homes. The fam

CLOSING DAY

Pupils and Others Render Program
Several in Graduating Class
Storm Shortens Exercises

Closing exercises for st. Joseph's
school took place Friday evening, May
81, at the school auditorium. The fol-
lowing program was very well rem
dered and showed splendid drill and
excellent practice.

Many of the numbers on the pro-
gram deserve special mention. The
grand baby show, by the primary pu-
pills, and the pillow fight by the little
boys were very much enjoyed and Gre
ated great merriment. The musical
numbers, as always at st. Joseph's,
were of superior merit.
The whole program, considering the
fact that the measles had claimed
enough victims to deplete the ranks,
was most meriotrious and revealed the
painstaking work of the teachers.
The Rev. E. c. O'Reilly conferred
the diplomas, but owing to the threat
ening storm, his address was "laid
over until next year."

rich in farms, rich in products, rich in
scenery and has a progressive, indus
trious, happy people. What more
could a state wish?
From the days of the tallow candle,
the clumsy plow, the linch-pin wagon
and the grain cradle to the present
time there is a great step forward. IN
1848, when Wisconsin became a state,
wheat was hauled to lake ports by
team; there were few newspapers,
books and magazines. There was no
railroad, no telegraph; the telephone,
the electric light, the photograph and
automobile were unknown. In 1848
there were but three counties; now
there are seventy-one.
The value of the property in the
state is estimated to be $3,6OO,OO0, 900;
there are 1000 rural schools; trains
travel over 7,748 miles of railway
the hills are dotted with fine herds
and milk plants.
Well may the people of the state
feel proud of this commonwealth.

REMAINS MAYOR
OF SALTWATER
Former Baraboo Resident Is Pop
uIar in Minnesota City as Shown
by Remarkable Meeting

A recent issue of the Saltwater
(Minn.) Daily Gazette received by the
Misses Gattiker, LOT Seventh street,
tells of a remarkable meeting held in
that city. Mayor j. r. Kolliner and
some of the aldermen decided to re-
fuse reelection and mass meeting
was called to urge them to retain
their present offices for two years
more, or until the close of the war.
The meeting was held in the city hail.
was largely attended and resolutions
highly complimenting the citizens
were passed. The services Of all, espe-
cially those of Mayor Kollinger, were
greatly appreciated and after the earn
estness of the citizens was shown the
officials decided to accept the honor
again. The mayor is in business with
Philip Newman and Max Kollinger,
and although the duties of the office
require much of his time, they kindly
gave their consent and support to the
movement 1t was on account of be-
ing away from his duties with the
firm that Mayor Kolliner hesitated to
accept the office for another term.
Years ago the Kolliner family resld-
ed in Baraboo and kept store near
where the Warren house is located.
Robert J. Kolliner graduated at the
University of Wisconsin, and is now
an attorney at st. Paul. The only Sis
ter, Mrs. Jennie Brandeis, resides in
Chicago. All have been successful
and are happily located. Emiel r.,
the actor, died a number Of years ago.

OF ROSE PASTOR
STOKES

Hundreds of persons have been con-
visited under the espionage act for ut
terances of a disloyal and seditious
character, but no other case Of this
sort so far tried has attracted as much
attention as that of Rose Pastor
Stokes. This prominent socialist
writer and speaker is a heroine in the
eyes of the anti-war socialists and pac-
fists. Mrs. Stokes has been found
guilty on all the counts in the indict-
ment on which she was brought to
trial and faces the possibility of long
term Of imprisonment
Under the law the jury was bound
to return the verdict of guilty. Mrs.
Stokes wilfully violated the espionage
act. Having left the socialist party
because Of it's disloyal attitude toward
the government, she later repented
and rejoined it, In explaining these
actions in a communication to the
press she accused the government Of
"being for the profteers" and there
fore against the people" Standing
for the people, she could not, she al
legged, consistently support the govern
ment in any of it's activities, the con-
duct of the war included.
The definite and baseless charge
that the government was ''for the prof
iteers" was an offense under the es-
pionage act. Such reckless and mis-
chievous talk, as the Judge said in
his charge, tends to lower the morale
of our military forces, chill enthusf-
asm, extinguish confidence, retard CO.
operation and even cause insubordina-
ton or mutiny.
Mrs. Stokes asserted that in assail-
ing the government she intended to
criticize the present national admin
istration only, using the phrase in
the European rather than the Ameri-
can sense. The defense was lame and
the jury properly rejected it. A rabid
and false attack on the administra-
ton would be morally reprehensible,
but the espionage and sedition laws
do not, as a matter of fact, prohibit
attacks of partisan nature on the
president, or the administration.
Agitators who seek to tear down
and destroy a government of the peo-
pie instead of contributing to con-
structive and evolutional reform are
enemies Of progress. In time of war
efforts to undermine and weaken the
which rests on the con-
sent of the governed, cannot be toler-
ated.-Chicago Daily News.

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This is
why the kidneys play such an important
role in health or disease. BY some mys-
ferrous process the kidney selects what
ought to come out of the blood and
takes it out. If the kidneys are not
good-workmen and become congested-
poisons accumulate ard we suffer from
backache, headache, lumbago, rheu-
matism or govt. The urine is often
cloudy, full of sediment; channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night.
So it is that DR.. Pierce, of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
N. Y, advises vWashing the Kidneys"
by drinking six to eight glasses of water
between meals and then if you want
to take a harmless medicine that will
clear the channels and cure the annoy
ing symptoms, go to your druggist and
get Anuric double strength }, for 6Oc.
This vAnuric," which is so many times
more potent than lithia-will drive out
the uric acid poisons and battle the kid
neys and channels in soothing liquid.
If you desire, write for free medical
advice and send sample of water for tree
examination. Experience has taught
Doctor Pierce that "Anuric" is most
powerful agent in dissolving uric ACID,
as hot water melts sugar.
Send DR.. Pierce 10c. for trial package

The Year That is Beginning
By CARL LAEMMLE
President of Universal.


TNCOMPARABLY create r
than its past is the future of
1.-The motion picture. The year
that is closing has been a great
year-the year that is beginning
will be greater.
A new era has dawned. Out
of the stress and turmoil and
anxiety and sacrifice of war. the
soul of humanity comes forth
cleansed and exalted. What yes
terday seemed big to us today
seems trivial.
A vast, eager, democratic au-
dience awaits the new years mo-
ton picture production. 1t is all
audience of keen judgment, alert
mind, nice discrimination. 1t is
the most exacting audience ever
assembled in theaters Since man
began the building of theaters. II
is the greatest audience the
world has ever known.
1t is an inspiration to pro-
duce photoplays for this audi
ence. 1t is a tremendous priv.
lege. 1t is an audience rededi-
Gated to the service Of nobler
deals. And the privilege of serv-
ing it carries with it the solemn
obligation to serve it we'll and
faithfully.
Motion picture production will
60 on, and, going on, it will 60
upward. Its greatness lies be-
fore it--not behind it., Its golden
era is in the future-not in the
past.
