Consequences <»k Mail by
Freiciit
The recent arrest of the young
Savage for robbing '"lie south
bound mail on the S. S. Victor
ia in December last will doubt
less be a tremendous lac lor in
changing the present system
of mail service.
Several residents of Mc’ar-i
thy were also the victims in
this robbery.
Complaints were turned into
the Post Office by business poo
pie, and on the last mail the Ta
coma Post Office notilied a fam
ily that a letter from their house
had been found in a mutilated
condition and asked for a full de
scription of contents.
O f
This letter happened to be a
joint letter of greeting from two
little children to their aged
grand father, enclosing fifty dol
iars in money orders, sent for
the purpose of making his Christ
mas bright.
* 4 4
Grand daddy did not get his
Christmas cheer, yet the thief
could get no benefit snd so evi
dently destlen t d l! e oidtis.
Mail service by freight might
possibly be all right if t ie sacks j
were made of cast iron, but Un I
cle Suit's s icks are canvas and |
do not require more than aj
slash with a pocket knife to dis
gorge their contents
There T ill b1 no tracing def-i
lii’tely the havoc this robhe y !
has m ule Homes may be s.iat
tered. and hearts may be brok j
en by the destruction of letters !
alio which, cannot be repaired;
by the imprisonment of the j
thief, and only .1 new arrange
ment will safeguard against
these occurrences in the future.
