Veterans in Kansas Arc Urged to Demand
1t For Pensions.
TOPEKA, Aug. 5.-Monday was pen
sion day, and checks for several hun
bred thousand dollars are being paid out
this week by United States Commits
sioner Click. The following circular
was distributed among the old soldiers
of Topeka and Shawnee county who
visited the United States pension office
to get their quarterly allowance from
the government:
Comrades, haiti You are entitled to
gold in payment for your checks. De-
mand it. Do not accept deprecated
currency"
The pensioners are paid by checks,
which are cashed at the Topeka banks.
1t is claimed that the circular was pre-
pared by bimetallist, who wants to
show that there is not enough gold in
the banks to pay the pensioners alone,
aside from doing the other business of
the county.
1t has also been suggested that this
may be part of the Sovereign boycott of
national bank notes. 1t is not known
who distributed the circular.

The recent decision of Judge Golf
that our cigarette license law is un-
constitutional is based on a decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, which makes its effects much
narrower than most people suppose.
Under this decision the only per-
sons who can sell without license
are manufacturers agents who re-
ceive goods on consignment; and
even they must sell the "original
package" in which the cigarettes
were shipped into the State. If
they break this package they at
once come under the prohibition of
the State law. 1t will be seen there
fore that no one can sell cigarettes
by the single pack without a State
license, unless they were shipped
to him on consignment, not fastened
into a bundle of any kind, but each
pack a separate package. There is
no chance for the ordinary retailer
to do business at all.
Gov. MacCorkle is now preparing
to have a re-hearing of the case be-
fore Judge Golf. The Governor
says the law is clearly constitution
al, and when the matter is presented
fairly he thinks Judge Golf will SO
decide. If his decision is averse to
the law, then the Attorney General
will take it to the Supreme Court of
the United States.

Leather guns have figured in
ancient history, but probably until
last week at the Sandy Hook prov
ing grounds a charge was never
fred from one. The United States
Ordnance Board naturally looked
askanee upon the rawhide cannon,
while the gunners got away in a
hurry when the strange weapon
was ready to fire; but, wonderful to
relate, the burlesque sort of cannon
withstood bravely a pressure of
3O,369 pounds to the square inch,
and the ordnance experts have
learned something new. This crazy
combination of alternate layers of
steel, rawhide and copper wire
cody stood a test that would have
ratified the best steel gun of the army.
As the new invention is only one
half the weight of q steel gun, it's
ultimate success might, indeed,
revoIutionize modern field batteries.
