mentioning The Of the bearer the country
Of which he may be citizen subject and containing
description Of his person. to which his signature IS sub
joined passport usually issued by the Minister for For
egn Affairs of the country to which the bearer belongs
Notwithstanding the age Of this government the roaming
propensity Of citizens and the increasing numbers OF
them resortng TO Europe, strange TO gay the subject Of
passports has been regulated by act OF Congress
There is no law authorizing requiring any officer Of
the government issue them Ever since the government
was established however ii has been the practice Of the
Secretary of State furnish them gratuitousy to every
applicant whose citizenship might be known established

merely declared their intention to become citizens fire.
queny have occasion return to Europe before they
have resided in the United States long enough 10 enable
them TO carry their intention into effect pursuant to law
No doubt most of these persons have honest purpose
TO consummate their intention and therefore deem hard
that they cannot obtain passport from this government
They do not reflect however that passport is subsan-
tally mere certificate of citizenship, which it would be
alsehood and fraud for the Secretary Of State TO give
10 any foreigner who may have merely declared his nten-
ton to become citizen In this emergency such persons
usually apply noaries public in the large cities some OF
