REVENUE AGENTS
Investigatina Cnreicssness In Conn
plying With the Laws I'm This

ttty.
At varying intervals it is the custom
of the general government to send Its
special agents to cities to note whether
its revenue laws ara being violated.
these agents do not send an advance
agent to announce their arrival. II
appears that for some time past two OF
these government officials have been
doing a bit OF investigation in their
quiet and unobtrusive way in this city,
and have made the discovery that there
are careless people here as elsewhere
forgetful business men who neg .ect 70
remove or destroy the stamps on empty
cigar boxes, or beer kegs, as the law
directs Now it does not matter
whether the neglect to mutilate and
remove the stamps is the result Of for
getfulness or intention to defraud the
government 1t Is a violation of tho
law and punishable according TO the
terms of the statute.
While here the government agents
discovered some Of these forgetful men
and politely informed them that they
had violated the law, and explaining to
them how they had done so.
The penalty for violations OF these
laws is severe, but where the agent is
convinced that 1t has been done
through oversight-rather than with in
tent to defraud, he usually compromises
with the offending party for much
less sum than the full amount of the
penalty. This Is apt to be sufficient to
keep the offenders memory refreshed
on the subject of revenue laws. There
was a misunderstanding as to this with
several business men in this city at
first, but it has We believe been ex-
planned to them satisfactorily.
1t is the duty Of these men to enforce
the law and sometimes their duties are
unpleasant both to themselves and
those who have been careless, but 1t Is
an axiom that ignorance Of or forget
fitness OF a law is no excuse for It's
violation.

Washington, juno 12.--The follow

II regret that the suggestion OF
third term has been made. | doubt
whether | am called upon to give it
notice. But there are now questions

a long-settled conviction, that / not
only am not and will not be candi-
date for third term, but would not
accent a nomination for it, if it were
rendered me.
"My only ambition is to serve
through my second term to the ac-
ceptance of my countrymen, whose
generous confidence | so deeply APP

my duty in the ranks of private ci'i-
