THE REVENUE STAMP LAW,

The president has signed the bill but
the stamps have not been printed
which must attach July 1. There is q
chance for confusion and great loss in
the aggregate. The government can
not begin to supply the stamps needed
by the first. The bureau Of printing
and engraving is in the hands Of the
printers union, and the printers being
charged with every sheet spoiled they
are very deliberate with the little
hand presses, which print only a sheet
at a time Of two hundred stamps each.
The register division Of the postOff1ce
at Washington is also swamped. The
thirty-four register clerks cannot half
way keep up. There are twelve de-
nominations Of stamps Not a check
can be drawn, a deed executed, a box
Of pills bought nor a package of chew
ing gum had without it is first stamp
ed. The New York Commercial tells
Of one Of that city's biggest firms seek
ing information about the clause of
the bill which provides a special stamp
tax Of two cents on all bank checks,
drafts, certificates of deposit not
drawing interest, and money orders,
which goes into effect on the first of
the month. The bank clerk said that
there viii be hundreds and thousands
Of these checks sent out the first of
next month, and the law will require
them to be stamped but if there are no
stamps, what are we to do?
TO Commercial reporter the speak
er last quoted said that if the stamps
are not on hand day or two before
July l, the banks and firms, as well as
companies paying dividends at that
time, will be obliged to date their
checks June so, instead of July 1. If
this should happen the law could not
touch such checks and the result
would be an enormous loss in war
revenue in this city alone He said
that the banks, to say nothing Of the
business firms, would issue at that
time anywhere from 500 to 1000 checks
each.

The Queens Four-Ieaved Glover

(From the Youths CompaniOn.)
An amusing story Of Queen Hortense,
daughter of the Empress Josephine, and
wife of Louis Bonaparte King of Hol-
land, has lately been told. After her ex-
lie from Holland, the ex-queen sojourned
for a time in a modest mabitation near
Constance, in Switzerland.
AS her health was broken down by her
troubles, her physicians prescribed a visit
to the mountains Of Appenzell and the
ex-queen, accompanied only by a reader
ori female companion and two or three
servants went to rustic neighborhood
in the hills. There she and her compan-
ion found nothing better to DO than hunt
for four-leaved clover, and became quite
excited in the search.
ITO lend the matter interest" the queen
wrote in letter which has been brought
to light, I'VE would assume that each
discovery Of four-leaved clover had
some prophetic significance. The next
one. If found so and so. meant that we
should return to France; another meant
that 1 was to receive a letter the next
day from my son Louis, and so on. In
this innocent pastime we found positively
the only excitement that was open 70 US
in the place.
But soon II was noiSed abroad among
the children Of the neighbOrhood that W
were continually hunting four-leaved
clover. and consequently, these children
argued, we must want it very much. Then
all the children and some OF the grown
people were out hunting four-leaved clo-
Yer, and soon great punches OF ii were
brought TO Us. for which we had TO show
ourselves very grateful.
In another day our only resource for
amusement was gone. for these kind but
superserviceable people had stripped the
neigh5orhood for mile around OF al its
four-leaved clover"

PROPORTIONAL POPS.

The Pop platform, after demanding
a new constitution for the state Of
Kansas along Pop lines and demanding
the referendum" sets out that it must
also provide for proportional repre-
septation." We have found nobody as
vet able to explain what is meant by
proportional representation" 1t can
not mean minority representation. One
old-time Kansan who has kept his
weather eye on the many maneuYers
of that political outfit OF inconsistent
cies. says 1t is a scheme 10 disfranchise
the counties in the west half Of the
state, each of which has a representa-
tive under the constitution. and every
one Of which is a Republican county.
In those same counties they tried the
referendum scheme for settling county
seat questions with the result that Sam
Wood and a dozen more men are dead.
proportional representation" is no
doubt a big thing and a deep scheme,
but some leader in the Pop party should
be detailed to explain its beauties to
the Democratic helpers Of that party,
otherwise the people may permit it to
fall through ignorance.

BLESSED CID

The way that the average newspaper
writer is brushing up on Spanish his
tory and the half forgotten romantic
and chivalrous things recalled will be
worth. in the way of information, half
the cost of the war. What an atmos-
phere of forgotten glory hangs over
Seville, Cordova, Granada. Salamanca
and a hundred other cities and towns
of old Spain The "Cid" or Cid Cham
peador Qord champion), words fire.
quently seen in print these days, is the
title Of the most popular hero Of Spain.
In their praise of him the Spaniards
have invented so many myths that his
history is dina. Rodrigo Diaz, the hero's
real name, was born Of a proud family
in 1910 at Bivar Castle, near Burgos.
He became a standard bearer and com
mander in the royal army of Sancho IL,
king of Leon and CASTLE. Sancho was
assassinated, and before his brother,
Don Alonzo, could take.the throne Rod
rigo compelled him to take an oath Of
innocence of the crime. AS a result of
the enmity which this created Rodrigo
was banished in 1881. He then battled
under the banner of the Moorish kings
of Saragossa against both Moslems and
Christians. A short reconciliation with
the king was effected, but the Cid was
again exiled. He next fought the
Moors, defeated them and became lord
of Valencia in 1894. The Moors, how
ever, defeated the Cids confederate
and an army sent by Rodrigo, which
was such a blow to him that he died
of grief at Valencia in 1893. The Cid
has been denounced as a ruthless char
acter, a traitor and freebooter, but to
the Spaniards he is their ideal, their
blessed Cid"

ron Stanley, On. "

Topeka Capital: The Kansas City Times
has made the surprising discovery that
Mr.. Stanley's nomination for governor
was due 70 a conspiracy among Kansas
druggists and that either druggist "or
some friend OF a druggist" was on nearly
every county delegation at Hutchinson.
When they arrived al Hutchinson the plot
ting druggists and their friends combined
their forces and swept the platter. The
Times exploits this remarkable discovery
OF the druggists plot to ;he extent of
column Of space n lis MONDAY issue.
It neglects 90 give the names Of the drug
g.sts who captured the convention and
nominated Stanley and falls 10 make it
exactly clear just what the druggists mad
in mind in making Mr.. Stanley the next
governor of the state. WAY the drug
gists were against Hood and Seaton, Co
burn. Hessin and Funston and unitedly for
Stanley will probably remain one OF the
mysteries of the Hutchinson convention.
But the Times fully exposes the plot OF
the druggists and makes their purpose
OF debating the politics Of Kansas so clear
that it will be surprised II there IS not
a combined and spontaneous uprising on
the part of the grocers. the dry goods mer-
chants, the tailors, the BARRIERS, the bank
ers, the real estate agents and butchers
to elect Leedy and prevent the scheming
druggists from despoiling them of their
liberties.
