HOW TO REDEEM STAMPS

With the expiration of this month
the present revenue law Will go out of
erect and the law enacted by the last
Congress will become effective. The
result will be many changes in the
use of documentary and proprietary
stamps and general reduction in rev.
enues. The public has a very good
understanding OF the changes which
are to be made in the use of stamps.
but there is considerable doubt in the
minds of those who have stamps to
redeem as to how the government will
rule upon the matter. A circular
throwing light upon this subject has
been issued by the department at
Washington and is as follows:
''As statiOners or the officers of
banks cannot generally make affidavit
that their customers are not indebted
to the United States; that they are the
bona f1de owners of the stamps pre-
Sented for redemption, or to such other
facts as are necessary to the support
Of claims, they cannot be recognized
as duly qualified agents for the pre-
sentation of claims for their custom
ers. Banks or statiOneTs may, how
ever, purchase imprinted stamps
which they procured and sold to their
customers, and, as the bona fide own
ers thereof, present claims in their
own names for the redemption of such
stamps without regard TO the number
purchased from each customer.
''In all cases where claims are made
by banks or statiOners for the redemp-

comply with the laws of the city as
well as the laws of trade, there would
be no complaints. There would be no
cause for complaint. AS it is COM
plants would be less frequent and mat
ters would be in much better shape if
the laws were strictly enforced.
1t is not the fault of the Council that
they are not enforced, Like a Legisla-
ture, it is the duty of the Council to
MAKE laws, and the duty of the muni-
cipal executive officers to enforce them
We do not know who is at fault in
this instance, but we do know that il

lron of stamps thus purchased, it will
be necessary, in addition to- evidence
now retuired in support Of claims for
each Gain to be accompanied by a
certifcSte duly signed by the party
from Shom the stamps were pur-
chased, setting forth the absolute sale
and transfer of said stamps to the
claimant. Also a schedule prepared
by th& claimant showing as to the
stamps:purchased from each customer,
the nalae of the person from whom the
stamps were purchased, the date OF
order Upon which they were Imprinted,
in whose favor the order was issued,
the na}ne of the collector Who issued
the same, and of the contractor who
imprinted the stamps, and:!the num-
per of: stamps in each so purchased.
ANY number of such purchases may
be covered by one claim, but each
lot of stamps purchased from a Gus
toner ,should be wrapped separately,
anu tna package so marked that it can
be identified on the schedule and by
the certificate of sale, ahd all the
stamps covered by one claim should
be placed together in one package and
be marked for Identification and far

desirable, be detached from the books
and forwarded with the plains fOr

JULY FOURTH.

This is the day we celebrate-July 4
but not as we formerly did. Time
was, and within the memory of the
present generation, too, when the day
was ushered in by the booming of
cannon in every city or town of any
importance, and the firing of smaller
guns at every crossroads or other
place of public gathering.
Every youngster was up by the first
dawn of the day, joining with his
wee, small voice and other noisy in
struments, such as fire crackers, etc,
in making the welkin ring with some
thing like the hilarity that greeted the
announcement one hundred and twenty
five years ago that America was free
that the well-organized soldiers who
had crossed the seas to make tyranny
over our forefathers complete, were
returning, a detected, whipped army.
But with other changes which time
has wrought has also come a change
in our methods of celebrating the day.
In many places now the booming of
cannon and the pop, pop, pop of the
fire cracker are no longer heard on this
occasion. True, the day and its signifi-
canoe is still impressed upon every
youth in the land, from infancy to the
end of earthly existence, but instead
| of the noisy celebrations that formerly
made it as memorable as Christmas, a
few of us now retire to some shady
spot on the lake or seashore and en-
joy a day of picnicking, and, others
stay at home and attend to business
the same Jas other days. 2
The latter is, we believe, regrettable.
Nothing can so impress occasions like
this upon rising generations as the oil
way of celebrating, and then, too, gen.
eral holidays, when all the people
shut up shop" and get together for
a day of recreation and intermingling
with each other are becoming entirely
too scarce. 1t is true that we have
more holidays now than before. That
is really our trouble. Legal holidays
have become so common in law that
entirely too few people pay any atten-
ton to them-except bank, postofice
and other public men. They all re-
member them. and observe them, that
is they abstain from all labor on all OF
them.

LYING DEFENDED.

The English are wonderful people IN
many respects, and in many ways the
English press is entitled to the same
distinction. Here is an article from
the London Spectator of recent date,
which perhaps more fully sets out this
fact than anything we could say:
"In the matter of truth speaking, as In
wine drinking, no one can define what
moderation means, though we all be-
lieve that in our own persons we Illus
trate the word. But, granting this
vague moderation, we are prepared to
maintain that a certain number OF
false formulas are necessary for the
defense and maintenance of the spirit
of sincerity and truth. We all have
entered into a tacit agreement that
under certain circumstances we will
deceive each other for our common
comfort, and if any large number Of
people took to avoiding these defenS-
i've forms and spoke on all occasions
nothing but the naked truth then social
world would have to be made over
again and we think the new one would
be worse and less ingenious than that
in which we live.
After such a revolution society
would have to revise its list of penal
offenses, and at he head of the new cat
alOgue would stand, we imagine, cur
iOsity. The rules about not asking
questions, which how only apply to
royalty, would have to be universally
observed. 81 shan't tell you," is a
phrase which will not always defend a
secret, and, apart from that, if con-
stantly resorted to, would be apt to
produce social friction. One would
hardly dare to ask friend to dine in
so many words if it were not permis-
sible for him to make the false reply
that he was sorry but he was engaged
and could not come. Ordinary social
intercourse, instead of becoming more
direct, would have to be carried on by
an elaborate system of hints; other
wise society would become, metaphor
cally speaking, a bear garden in which
sensitive persons would be battered o
death. 1t would be impossible to get
used to being told 81 do not like you,
and your friends bore me-" or "I could
come quite easily but do not care to
identify myself with the very second
rate people among whom you live. u
Neither could we improve matters by
allowing guests to invite themselves
The rebuff of being refused hospitality
would be almost unbearable'
We ought certainly to feel grateful
to our London cousins for this piece
of information. We had always labor.

trine.

FAIR PLAYS A JEWEL:

The st. Louis Republic thinks there
is certainly good cause for the aston
ishment and indignation of the Italian
Government, due to the action of Sec
retary of the Treasury Gage in i'm
posing a countervailing duty on Ital-
ian sugar on the ground that ''it ap-
peared highly probable that sugar pro-
duced in that country received indirect
export bounties."
Italy has, continues the Republic,
equally good cause to join with Rus
sia in a protest against this action,
and in threatening a retaliatory war
on American goods and products ship
ped to Italian markets. Through the
Italian Embassy at Washington a for
NAL notification has been made to Sec
retary Gage that Italy pays no bounty
on her sugar. This information could
have been obtained by the Secretary
of the Treasury, and to much better
advantage, before he took the foolish
action which precipiCated the present
trade crisis. The next step on the part
of the Italian Government will be the
filing of an official protest against
Cages action.
The chief menace Of the situation is
that the Secretary of the Treasury is
himself doing all in his power to
strengthen that hostile sentiment
which may yet lead to a European
trade alliance against this country GER
tain to prove most costly to American
exporters. On behalf of the Sugar
Trust Mr.. Gage seems to have taken
up weapons against the world. 1t will
be strange indeed if the Governments
thus Disseminated against shall fail
to strike in return as effective a blow
as is possible to them. And very ef-
fective blow is possible.
1t will be encouraging to see the
next Congress manifest toward Europe
a spirit of greater friendliness and
Willingness for just reciprocity which
may tend to overcome the bad spirit
created by Secretary Cages foolish
policy. We are now more than able
to compete with the world on even
terms. What Europe objects to is an
American policy of tariff discrimina-
ton against European products and
manufactures coincident with an Am
erican entry into European markets
relieved of anti-American discrimina'

ANOTHER ATTACK.

This week we are called upon to
publish a wholesale attack upon the
City Council because some one wants
to enjoy all the privileges of a city
market without helping defray the ex-
pense to the public of keeping up the
city market at least, that is the only
deduction we are able to draw from
the reasoning Of the writer of this last
letter.
AS for the alleged facts stated in the
letter of our correspondent, we have to
say a careful scrutiny of the laws and
ordinances of the city of Tallahassee
fails to reveal any authority for them
and, therefore, not being lawyer or
skilled in the construction of law, we
would like for Mr.. Brundydge to cite
the page and section upon which he
bases his assertions.
AS to the conditions that exist at the
city market, we are prepared to ad-
nit they are bad-so bad, in fact, that
the editor of this paper seldom gets
anything from there he can eat with
any relish. But the trouble is, the laws
are not enforced. The City Council has
adopted wise laws, laws suggested by
