MORAL STANDARDS.

We can have much Of pity. along
with our condemnation, for tho poor,
misguided Wisconsin school teacher
who no far forgot all her sense OF
right as to sacrifice all that life was
worth In the Illicit passion for n
married man, until In sheer despera-
ton she was prompted to the act
lof murder of an Innocent person.
There is no disposition to find fault
with tho levying OF the penalty for
her crime. She will spend a num-
ber OF years In prison confinement
and will have plenty OF leisure to
consider the folly OF her course, as
well as It's lniqulty. a sentiment OF
which she so far sNems 10 have no
conception nor does sho know the
meaning OF penltenoe.
The peculiar part OF this tragedy
Is that the woman in the case was
a person of high intelligence and
moral problty until by imperccptlblc
dogross. through business connec-
tion with the man In the case, she
lost all her moral standards and be-
came the passionate slave OF her en-
ployer, 1t Is a sad blow to all our
theories of training up the young in
the way they should 20. II Is also
an eye-opener 10 the fact that crime
and illiteracy are not always part
norS
But, while we are sorry for tho
woman, and while we approve Of her
punishment. what shall we say OF
the man who knowingly and dellb-
erately encouraged and supportea
tho inlquity which brought on this
crime? why should there not he
some way In which ne could be made
10 share tho punishment with the
partener of his sin? True. he did
not commit tho murder. but he did
make a human fiend out OF the ad-
mlrahle specimen OF womanhood
which It appears Miss Dusk was be-
fore no met her, He did not plan
or approve the killing, but he Ia the
architect who built up In that wom-
ans mind the frenzy OF jealousy that
made her ripe for slaughter There
ought TO be no double standard Of
morals in this thing, whore the wor,-
an has 70 take all tho hlame and
