Show Thekk is considerable discussion as to just what an "original package" means. The question haviug been presented pre-sented to the attorney-general of Kansas, Kan-sas, that official construed the decision of tho supreme court of tho United : States to mean that "au original package" pack-age" is a case of beer, a keg or barrel of it, a demijohn of whisky, and not a bottlo of lieer or a flask of whisky. This seems to be the sensible and cor-' cor-' roct meaning of "original packago," , and is consistent with the usual custom of shipping liquors. To call a bottle of I beer or of whisky an original packago i is simply a burlesque, and an evasion, and will not bo permitted in Kausas, and very likely not in Iowa, if the pro- hibitionists coutinuo to bo as native in i their campaign against t he liquor traiuc j as they have been in tho past.
