NEW STAMPS tain parts of the
country regarding
the new issue of 2-ccnt postage
stamps The distinctive feature of
this issue as compared with others tha;
have been brought out by the postof-
fee department is their artistic super
iority to other issues. The officials of
both the pOstoflce department and the
bureau of engraving and printing en-
deavored to make the best possible
use of the license given them in the
instructions for the preparation of the
new stamps to design a stamp which
would be pleasing and at the same time
of the design that would be in har-
mOny with the use to which it is put
One critic of the department ragged
against the use of the portrait of
Washington on a 2-cent stamp. He
said the thing was outrageous; that
it was a disgrace to the American ma
tion to use the portrait of our first
president for the reason that every time
stamp were used it would be defac-
ed by cancellation. Another critic
said that the whole idea of the stamp
was wrong He claimed that the pic
ture of Washington used on the 2-cent
stamp was libel on it's subject He
said it looked like almost anyone in
continental history except WashinS-
ton. AS a matter of fact the picture
used is taken from tie Gilbert Stuart
portrait. which is generally conceded
to be TIE most accurate likeness of
Washington in existence. Other fea-
lures OF the stamp have been subject
to criticism. but the great mass of
stamp users have been pleased with
the taGte shown by the department il
selecting designs. 1t has been deter
mined. however. to prepare new die.

to a slight imperfection that has been |
