PORTLAND POSTOFF1CE
(Salem Journal)
State politics are to be shaken
to the bottom in the controversy
over the appointment of John C.
Young as postmaster at Port
land. Mr. Young is a poor man with
a large family, lives in Portland
and has several of his children
married there, and all are re
spectable. He is not one of the old first
families, but blew into Oregon
from Salt Lake City about 20
years ago, and has never stolen
anything.
Hence ho is highly unlit to
hold any public position, in the
eyes of the old political machine,
if they happen to want the place.
Above all other sins, he is a
friend of Senator Bourne, a
Statement Oner, a reform Re
publican, and a man of brains
and ability.
It happens he got the appoint
ment at the hands of President
Roosevelt, and the machine
push senators will tight his con
firmation. As the United States senator
has the right by courtesy to
name the postmaster in his
home city, Hourne has the best
of it.
It is to bo regretted that one
of the ofiiceholding hierarchy
cannot have the Portland post
oflice, and that it must go to one
of the poor common people like
Young.
Some mistako about that. A
man who has been in office at
least 20 years should have the
place. This passing such things
around to a man who has not
been an officeholder is a mis
take. However, Young might be
honest and competent. That
would go far to palliate the
offence of naming a people's
champion for postmaster.
