SHOWS FOLLY OF HASTY LEGISLATION
SEN. CURTIS SPEAKS TO GOOD GOVENMER CLUB
Says to Beware of the Extrem ist Who Has an "ism" That Cures All.
"A few years ago the Ways and Means committee of the Senate of which I was a member, heeded the call of Dr. Wiley, the chemist expert, and urged the hasty passage of the Denatured Alcohol Act. We believed that if this act was passed there would never be waste in any of the great agricultural districts of this country. We appropriated $500,000 that the provisions of this act might be fulfilled and the people of the United States have not been benefited five cents.
"A few years ago the legislature of this state made it a misdemeanor for any one to allow the Russian thistle to grow on his premises. Last year I was in western Kansas and saw tons and tons of this same thistle, which is called the poor man's alfalfa, and is the only thing that a great number of our western farmers can raise for the support of their stock. And yet under the laws of Kansas it is a misdemeanor for a farmer to grow this weed."
In these words Senator Charles Curtis of Topeka, who spoke before the Good Government club last evening, pointed out the folly of passing laws before their significance and their effect on the people whom they are to govern are fully realized. During his quarter of a century of public life, Mr. Curtis has had occasion to study laws and law enforcement and in his address last evening he pleaded with the young men not to give ear to every extremist who has an "ism" that he proclaims is the panacea for every ill.
SEWING RULES MUST BE REVISED
Carrie Woolsey Steps on Spool of Thread and Suffers Sprained Ankle.
Those who have expressed themselves upon the dangers of the game of football will find a broad field in the numerous women's sewing circles. The dangers connected with sewing have been thought to appear only in the use of fine steel needles which oftimes prick the fingers of the fair maiden, who is engaged in the sport. A new form of danger in the sewing game appeared at the University Sunday afternoon. Carrie Woolsey, a senior in the College, had finished a bit of needle work, and when she arose to leave the room stepped on a spool of thread and was thrown to the floor. Her ankle was badly sprained and she has been unable to attend any classes on the hill this week.
PENTAGONAL LEAGUE?
Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Texas And Oklahoma to Debate.
A proposition to form a Pentagonal Debating League is now being discussed by the Universities of Kansas, Missouri, Colorado Oklahoma, and Texas. All of the schools are in favor of the general plan and if minor details can be agreed upon, the League will be started within the next month. Such a league will not affect the University's plans for debates this year.
If the proposition is adopted each University will debate every other school once in two years. Each school would have one debate at home in a year and every school would be met on the home grounds once in four years. Selections of judges and problems of debate would be greatly simplified by such a League.

PH. D. MEANINGLESS
Is Given After Accumulation of Credits—Lowell.
A Lawrence Lowell, president of Harvard University declares that the degree of Ph. D. is now practically meaningless.
He asserts that it is now the custom simply to confer the degree after an accumulation of a number of credits in individual courses, while it should be conferred only after extensive and exhaustive study along broad lines or original research work.
TOO MUCH GRAY MATTER
Not Room Enough For Brains in Cornell Museum.
The curators of the Museum in McGraw hall at Cornell University, say that there are too many brains in that building and they suggest that an extra floor be added to provide for the gray matter. Brains are packed in boxes, bottles, cartons and every other available wrapper. The visitor is in imminent danger of spilling someone's brains on the floor. Brains of philosophers and statesmen are packed beside those of criminals and lunatics.
