MODERN ARTILLERY.

Most Of the people to whom the
phrase artillery duer' pictures any
thing at all, who know the meaning of
a FLAT trajectory or the difference be-
tween "clinometer" and differ
entail recoil gear" or the significance
of such mystic symbols as 1T N IT,
and m. w. when they write on artil-
lery do not seem to realize that the sub
ject has any human significance, says
Arthur Billiard in his Story of the
War" in the current issue of the Out
look.
And these technicians who deal in
''muzzle velocity and the like are now
watching this stupendous conflict in
France with an unholy glee, as you or
1 might watch a fencing bout between
two men, one trained in the French
school and the other in italian. The OPP
ponents are pretty evenly matched; it
is conflict between two theories.
In these modern days 1t 10 much too
expensive to waste one solid cannon
ball on one man. The projectiles now
in vogue are explosive, the idea being
that they shall break up into many
fragments. and so endanger scores,
where the old-fashioned solid shot
threatened one or two. But it would
still be wasteful If the fragments blew
haphazard in all directions; those that
went straight up would not hurt any
one. So the modern shrapnel-and an
immense amount of ingenuity has been
spent on it's contrived to hurl its
fragments in a precise and more deadly
way. The shell used by all civilized
armies is practically a cartridge within
cartridge. Instead of the old-fash-
Toned solid bullet. there is a hollow
steel projectile containing a charge Of
explosive and a nest OF bullets or
spikes. b. carefully timed fuse ar

Where Inconsistency Wins.
To form an opinion and to stick to it
is commonly held to be laudable trait
What faith can we have. asks the con-
sistent man. in the solidity of a man
who says one thing today and an
other thing tomorrow; who was a Re-
publican lat year. Progressive this
year and who will. in all probability
be a Socialist next year? One can never
place him.. He is as inconsistent as a
woman. He can never take rank in our
minos with the sterling old gentleman
who says. with pardonab BILE pride. I've
voted the Republican ticket straight
for fifty years.
1t is the lack of this same admirable
% consistency that is supposed to be
the commonest of feminine faults. 1t
is a woman's prerogative, we are told,
to change her mind. 1t is likewise
proof. We are assured. of her inconse-
quentiality and lightness of, mind Such
processes do not behoove a man. II a
; man says something. let him stick to
IT; II he has an opinion let him hold to
it, Otherwise he is less than a man..
If man says thing today and we
! can look back and recall a time when
he said something quite different, we
have laid him low. We have him at
| statements meet? Eureka. we have
him!
The victim of our thrust, at a loss,
is laughed down and out.
The very consistency Of human ma
ture on this point carries its own in
consistency. We adopt an opinion and
subscribe to it. We give it out as our
opinion. 1t becomes something sacred,
something to be fought for and de-
tended against onslaught; something to
hold to. To do otherwise would be to
admit that We were formerly wrong. To
admit that We have been wrong is un-
thtnkable. 1t lays us open to the at
lacks of our enemies.
But why not view the question in its
larger aspect? We are living and pre-
new Impressions, assembling new facts:
gaining experience. What We thought
yesterday was limited by what we then
knew. To-day the situation may have
changed. We have lived and thought.
If our progress has strengthened our
belief in the truth OF our old opinion.
SO much the better If 1t has not, even
better still. We have progressed. we
have discarded an untruth we believed
to be truth.
life. map out and adopt q permanent
opinion? When should he do it-at
thirty. forty, fifty or seventy? Why
should he say, It know now as much as
| I ever shall?'' To do so is equivalent to
| saying. Il shall never know more" And
that is to condemn oneself to mental
stagnation.
| Hold to your opinions as long as they
/ are worth holding to; then abandon
! them. The mArch.of human progress is
| marked with the nnilestones of the be-
1iefs the world once held and has since
abandoned And each Of these mile
stones has been the. scene OF q struggle
between the old order and the new. The
| new marches On; the old fell behind.
Every human Life should be similarly
marked. I think 1t was IbSeu who said

THEIR LAST INNING.

VI
National bankers who have acted on
the theory that emergency currency has
been issued for their profit alone will
do well to heed Secretary McAadoo's
warming to the contrary Emergency
currency was designed primarily for the
relief OF the people at times when for
any reason financial stringency was
prevalent. It has happened more than
once that what is called a scarcity of
money was due to the position taken
oys some II not all bankers. There is
more than one way to hoard money
1t IL boarded when it is locked up in
safe-deposit vaults. 1t is boarded when
loans are called arbitrarily 1t is boarded
when credit Is refused except at exor-
bitant rates. The deposit of public
funds in banks and the issue of emer-
gency notes are wholly within the dis
erection of the secretary of the treasury.
In both cases he acts in behalf of the
people. If through the greed of bank
ers the currency thus put into circula-
ton and the credit thus made available
are to be cornered, it is idle to place
any dependence upon temporary mea-
sures Of relief which in other countries
work to perfection. Irritating as the
attitude assumed by many bankers has
been. it serves a useful purpose in
proving anew the wisdom of the new
Federal reserve banking and currency
system. When that goes into operation
a few weeks hence, there will be no
further monopolization of money and
credit in the United States. Those who
are playing the old gouge game now
are positively having their last inning.

MONUMENTS OF PEACE.
The boundary between Canada and
Alaska for most of its course follows
the hundred and fOrty-first meridian.
Since 1906 Canadian and American
surveying parties have been following
rocky gorge and marking it by suit
able monuments set in concrete. These
surveyors have now completed their
work through to the Arctic ocean. The
line had to be run directly north on
the meridian and cbu1d not turn out
for natural barriers of any kind. Even
Mount st. Elias was climbed-16, sou
feet-two weeks being taken for the
task. The line was divided into sec
tions. there were stations about fifteen
miles apart. and every three miles
monuments were placed. The larger
of these markers were of aluminium
bronze five feet high, set in concrete
bases. At last the surveying parties
of Great Britain and of the United
States were unfurled side by side.
While other nations are engaged in
destruction, leaving such manuments
of war as standing chimneys in DESC
lated fields and cities these monu-
ments of peace on the Alaskan border
are placed by two nations in friendly
cooperation. 1t is a happy omen for
the long continuance of the hundred
years of Anglo-Saxon peace.-Minne-

And the wise folk who like to have
warp houses in the winter time will
pay attention to the advice from the
officials of the local gas company to
the effect that the gas supply for this
winter Is not likely to be any better
than 1t has been in the past few win
ters. And experience has certainly
taught Topekans that such a gas sup
ply is little better than useless as a
heating fuel in cold weather.
