THE PORT OF PORTLAND
COMMISSION.
The contest for the control of the Port of
h'oruana seema iy ne uubcu cm.
v the question of .; political .expediency and
" what It will (do, or can be made to do for
' politics as a business, and not particularly In
the Interest. of the port and the-people who
re expected to carry the burden now and
during th jrears to come. Mr. Swigert and
Mr. Adams are the two old members of the
committee,- hold-overs--f row the - previous
' board,, both, of v whom are thoroughly cog
.. nlsant of what has, been done, are thoroughly
reliable and Qualified In every way for the
, trust; .Besides being capable and success-
! ful msiness inert w, Swigert fc,u pieehan
leal engineer and Mr. Adams a civil en
1 rlneer by education and profession, though
not in practice, ana n. wouiu kh nm-
. proper tours to pursue would be to elect
n the chairman f theTcommlssion, one Or
' the other of these gentlemen, both of whom
;" have the "knowledge of its affairs that would
; be of gr'eat benefit at this time to the port:
It. must be assumed that when Mr. Adams
and 'Mr, Swigert, '.were retained on. the com
mission by act of the Legislature, while the
' other members of the old commlss'lon were
.dropped, that the law-makers specially con-
eldered..the qualifications or tne various per
; sons who were eligible to membership of
the commission,' and retained .the two i men
referred to on account of thtlr fitness for
, the work. ' . f
In any line of business enterprise, where
new men were to be; selected to' associate
' with the older headjU4ond11cXHt would
in be-expected that the new men would be
preferred for the executive posijlons, par
ticularly if the fitness of the older members
was specifically recognized, as. In the cane
under consideration.
It is to be hoped, for the benefit of tha
port and the public interest, that the mem-
bers of the commission Will view this matter
from. a business standpoint, and that the
contest now going on will be settled In a
fair and reasonable way, with the political
Interest secondary at least to that of the
. puonc interest.
It Is self-evident that the people of this
city who are permitting themselves to be
taxed every year to raise vast sums for the
improvement of the river, will not view with
any degree of satisfaction the possibility of
this body being used for political purposes,
and there aj many citizens who are now be
' ginning to take the view that this is the
cause of the contest. The members of this
commission, a public body, could create pub
lic confidence in lio more certain way than
by selecting Mr.Ad.Trt or Mr. Swigert as
chairman, and this lit the reasonable and fit
thing to do. provided the public interest Is to
"A fellow named Cowgill, nt linker City,
who makes his living by fawning on rallroud
magnates" these are the words in which
the Oregonian editorially describes the man
who was the chief agent of the railroads in
the effort to invoke the referendum against
the portage road, and who, at that time, was
given all the space he wanted in the columns
' of our contemporary.
A PARTISAN POSTOFFICE
The postofflce Investigation has brought
to light two significant facts: First, that
there has been wholesale corruption among
some of the higher officials of the depart
nent, and second, that the patronage of the
deportment has been used for political pur
poses on a very large scale. Corruption and
practical politics usually go hand In hand
so It Is not surprising to find them asso
ciated In this Instance.
While the sensational feature of the dls
closures thus far made Is the boodling and
grafting on the part of postal officials, this
is perhaps in fact less. serious than the dls
covery that the wRol department is per
meated with polities.! Though nominally
under- civil service rules, there has been
regular traffic In postofB.ee patronage and it
has become- the practice to make appoint
ments at the request of Congressmen and
other influential office-holders. In many in
stances appointees who enjoyed a political
"pull" have drawn salaries without doing
any work whatever.
' Postal faciljties have frequently been ex
tended in new district, merely for the pur
pbs4 6f creating places for the proteges of
prominent politicians. The whole depart
ment has become honeycombe.l with politics
and is fast assuming the appearance of a
more adjunct to the politicnl machine of the
party In power.
The evils of a partisan postofflce are even
greater than the corruption which ha- jfn
discovered among postal officials. The Lit
ter may be eradicated with... Comparative
ease,'t)0t to' cleanse the department from
politics Is a far greater task.
It may well be questioned whether it will
be accomplished as the result of the inVes
Ugatlon now in progress. President Roose
Velt himself will scarcely have the courage
to enter upon so vast an undertaking in the
face of the certain opposition of a large and
influential element of the Republicans In
Congress. So long as the Republicans re
main in power there is little reason to hope
that the administration of the postofflce -will
return to a strictly non-partisan basis.
The receipts of the Postofflce Department
for the fiscal year ending in 1902 were about
1122,000,1uO, and for the current year they
will be about ten millions more. .'These
figures show the gigantic amount of busi
ness transacted by the department and con
vey some idea of the tremendous power
which its patronage confers.
It is interesting to observe how closely
Kuropean governments observe the utter
ances of the American press. Nothing conld
be more significant of the growing power
of this country in the affairs of the world.

ONE MAN'S GOOD WORK.
For upward of six weeks a low-voiced, quiet -mannered man has sat at the
desk lh the big room In the northwest comer of the fourth floor of the Postofflce
Department Building, at Washlngon, D. C. That desk was formerlly presided over by
August W. Machen, recently arrested, charged With having accepted a bribe In connec
tion with a contract for supplying articles for the use of the free delivery division of the
Postofflce Department... The guiet man who has, directed the business of that, branch of
the service since Machen Was suspended, a month before his arrest, is Martin C. Fosnes,
Postofnee Inspector, with a dozen years of service to his credit. Mr. Fosnes Is char
acteristically Norwegian. He is of medium height and rather spare build, with the
thin face, high cheek bones and Bquare Jeftv of men of his race. He has a shock of light
-brown hair, tinged with gray; a thick, reddish mustache covering a firm mouth,, and
blue eyes, deep set under bushy eyebrows. He is 62 years old, but doesn't look it by
10 years.. He was born In Norway and came to this country with bis parents when he
waa 16. They settled near Winona, Minn where the young man followed farming
until he entered the government service at the age of 30.
Young Fosnes attracted the attention of William Wlndom, then the central figure in
Minnesota public life, through whose influence he waa appointed a special agent In
the pension bureau. He served in this capacity for 10 years, nearly all the time
In the Middle West. He made such a good record that he was then transferred
to the Inspection corps of the Postofflce Department. In his 12 years pt service aa
Inspector he has done about everything, such an officer has to do lrt the course of his
regular fluty." 'He "has spied on letter carriers and clerks suspected of rifling the
mails. He has chased train robbers and postofflce burglars; has followed' the more
peaceful pursuit of checking up the accounts of postmasters, and later directed other
Inspectors who did these things. It is said that, in all his service, he never asked
for an assignment, never refused one, nor even hinted that any task was distasteful
to him.
At the beginning of the first McKinley administration, back in 1897, Joseph L.
Bristow of Kansas was made Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General. The inspection
division was under his Jurisdiction, and the ' reports of the 50 or more Inspectors
passed through his hands. Among them were those of Inspector Fosnes. -There
was a certain quality about them that Bristow liked. They were direct and to the
point, and there was no point in a case he investigated that was left to the imagination.
He had a way of getting at facts without allowing.his mind or his reports to -be hampered
by a mass of irrelevant detail. With characteristic determination he stuck to a case
until he had cleared up any mystery there might be connected with it. And his
concluflions were about right in every ease, so ihia superior offlcerf 'say. Mr. Fosnes'
work cannot be said to be characterized by brilliancy, but more by a clear power of
analysis and an ability to "bone" on a case and study It In every phase In, the en
deavor to reach a solution.
The methods pursued by Fosnes strongly -attracted Bristow. They were like his
own in many respects, and he therefore pushed Fosnes to the front in order to test his
ability in an executive position. During the Spanish-Amef lean' war he was assigned
to temporary charge of the Chicago division. Then he was sent to Philadelphia In
permanent charge of that division. While In the Quaker City he was given several,
important and complicated cases to Investigate, and did his work so well that, Mr
Bristow knew he had a man on whom he could depend and who could be trusted With
almost .any. duty in his line. Just about this time the investigation dt Cuban postal
accounts was ordered, and Bristow was assigned to take charge of- it. Inspector
Fosnes was the first man selected to assist him. The history of the Cuban frauds is
well known and need not be repeated here. At the conclusion of the investigation. It
became necessary to name some one as acting director of posts,' and Inspector Fosnes
was assigned to that duty, which he discharged with his usual ability and faith
fulness. ' -
Mr. Fosnes returned from Cuba somewhat broken in health, the result of an attack
of yellow fever, and was ordered by his doctors to a bracing climate. He did not want
to loaf and asked for an assignment that, might meet the requirements of his health,
and he was therefore sent to St. Paul, in charge of the northwestern division. He
stayed there until about two months ago, when he Was called to Washington to again
assist his chief In unearthing frauds. . He waa put In charge of the Investigation of the
free delivery service, over which August w. Machen had supervision. For a time
Machen was allowed to continue in service. Then Fosnes asked that Machen be .relieved
in order that he might have full control of all the papers and documents In the bureau.
Machen was suspended Indefinitely, and within a month was arrested on a charge of
bribery, the case having been worked Up by Inspector Mayer, under Fosnes' orders. ' r
One thing that strikes a person who attempts to Interview Mr. Fosnes Is his extreme
modesty. At no time has he claimed any credit for MS ,w6rk m Cuba, nor ' in the
present investigation. He prefers to let that speak for itself. Neither .does he -rive
out any more information than he intends to. He is courteous -and willing to answer
questions, but when the answers are dissected they are found to contain little . in
formation that might make a sensation. As a matter e-f fact, he would rather keep in
the background, and let others make public the results of the work he does so diligently
and quickly. Since Mr. Machen's arrest there has been considerable talk about Fosnes
being made chief of the free delivery service, but that appointment has been deferred
by common consent until the conclusion of the work he Is now doing, and doing' well. -
