Generally speaking the annual reports
OF the heads Of departments OF govern
liment at Washington are dull and unin-
teresting reading matter. but now and
then something crops out In these reports
that commands attention and interests
the most indifferent reader.
For Instance, the report Of the now POST
master-General Mr.. Wynte, contains
some startling information that needs 10
DO considered. Ono of his recommends
lions to Congress Is that that body shall
pass law to properly punish al people
who shall dare to send through the
United States nSll tarartulns. snakes,
scorpions and Lizards. postmaster cne-
raj Wynre evidently was of the opinion
that 1t was necessary to explain to- so
wise a congregation as the Congress of
the United States why 1t was necessary
to make this remarkable recommends
ton and why in his Judgment 1t was
necessary for Congress to mako such a
remarkable law. 1Ie therefore, explains
ut some length, and from his explanation
may be Of fascinating interest to such
readers Of The Times Dispatch us have
never before thought about these things.
For instance. q man In Texas, who has
a pet tnrantula, recalls sone dear friend
IN Cincinnati or Chicago or ST.. Louis, or
even higher up from whom he has been
separated for years. The thought occurs
to him that the very best Christmas stunt
he could dofwould DO to send to TINT
friend In tho frozen North a sample of
Texas products. So he boxes up athe
tarantula, puts a special delivery stamp
upon It. Ii, addition to the regular postage
and in from eighteen to thirty-six hours
tho tarantula has reached It's destination
dead. frozen and harmless. A
t53 It appears further from the report Of
5Postma ter General Wynne that there are
many people In Florida and Alabama who
are in the habit Of shipping in like nan-
ner through the hi malls scorpions anu
snakes; also there come from, Florid:.
a,ligators, crocodlles and horned frogs
At this period Of tho. year ,fcw2of these
dangerous animals and ). reptiles reach
their destination alive, but as long as they
live they are dangerous to the men who
handle Uncle Sans mail J, \ and 50 athe.
Postmaster-G General advances two reasons
why the practice Of mailing such matter
should be forbidden BY law. One is--lt
is dangerous to the service and another
is that 1t is in violation of tho laws made
TO curtail cruelty to animals. The Post
imaster-G eneral is right in demanding
such q law from Congress, ana we hope
IL will pass without delay. 8a
