In spite of the fact that a post-
office inspector was in this city re
cently for the purpose of investigat
ing violations of the postal regulations
which impose a penalty of $10 in
every case where persons are discov
ered sending written matter in pack
ages mailed at third-class rates, the
violations continue, and in the last
four days no less than four packages
have been held up by the local offi
cials. In fact, hardly a day passes
without a violation of the law being
discovered. The postmaster is re
quired to make a report of each vio
lation and a fine of $10 is imposed
in each case.
Wlhen the violations are called to
the attention of the parties sending
the packages they admit their guilt
and plead ignorance of the law. The
law now requires that every package
shall be opened, and whether the per
sons sending them vouch for their
contents or not, the packages are
opened just the same, and their con
tents examined so that it is impossi
ble to avoid discovery. Even should
a package be allowed to pass from
the local office unopened it would be
