GIRLS EAT MOTH BALLS.
Thirty Co-Eds Are Said 40 Find De-
light i'm a New Fad.

APPLETON, Wis, oct "a fad for
eating and inhaling the odors of moth balls
was discovered this week among the young
lady students of Lawrence University. No
less than thirty of the co-eds, it is found
upon investigation, are victims of the habit.
At first the odors of the napthalin were
simply inhaled, but the abnormal taste has
so developed Of late that two of the girls
confessed yesterday that they actually ate
the drugged insect destroyers. The Misses
Katharine and May Geartts, of Marinette
aged respectively eighteen and twenty
years admit that they are responsible for
introducing the fascinating effects of moth
balls in a school.

IGNORING BEACON LIGHTS.

What has been, will be. History win
repeat itself The wisest statesman is
he who learns the lesson taught by the
past. He is an unwise man who has q.
sIavish reverence for the past, but he
is quite as foolish who pays no heed to
the facts of history. In the present
careering policy of the new American
Empire" the men who have become in
fatuated with dominion, become infur-
lated if you tell them that the new de-
parture is contrary to the teachings of
Washington and Jefferson, and they are
ready to call you "a small American
because you have not outgrown the
principles of liberty inculcated by the
founders of the Republic. Mr.. McKin-
ley has been foremost in ignoring the
teachings of the fathers, though with
the consumate tact of which he is
past master headoes not in words de-
clare them back numbers. During his
Western tour, in one of his speeches,
which confront us untrammeled by the
past Taking that as text, Mr.. Bry-
an in late issue of the Commoner
said:
An American, who, although he be-
longs to the past was something of a
man in his day, said there was but one
lamp by which his feet were guided
and that was the lamp of experience.
In the solution of public problems men
have not heretofore regarded history
and experience as being unimportant.
If Mr.. Mckinley meant anything at all
by this statement, he must have meant
that we, would solve the problems
Which now confront us on other lines
than those which would have been
adopted by the founders of this govern
ment.
This past which seems so embar-
RAISING to Mr. Mckinley has many
things which American statesmen have
been glad to accept as beacon lights
on stormy seas. The declaration of in
dependence, the impassioned utterances
OF the orators of the revolutionary
period, the warnings of Washington in
his farewell address, the utterances of
Lincoln and the men of his time-these
are some of the things that embarras
the Mckinley administration. That
administrations policy is out of har-
mony with the things which were in
perfect accord with American charac-
ter and American principles: and so
long as Mr.. Mckinley is determined to
solve the problems which confront US
on un-American lines he will be 'un-
trammeled by the past. The chances
are, however, that before Mr.. Mckinley
accomplishes the solution of the prob
lens that now confront us he will be
compelled to appeal to the past and
learn wisdom as well as patriotism from
history"
