The Faribault Journal sees in the APP
pointment of George Copeland as proba-
ton officer for Hennepin county plenty
of proof that the board of control has be-
come political machine. 1t is claimed
Judge Jameson. The fact is that the
board of control merely ratified tire selec-
ton of the two municipal Judges Of Min
neapolis, who are the officials most in
terested in having a competent probation
officer. They asked to have Copeland APP
pointed. and the board Of control, know
ing nothing of the various applicants, re-
lied on the discretion of the judges, find
ing that the district bench. was willing to
approve the. appointment. If Copeland's
appointment had been political, y eight
Judges. would have shared in the oppro-
brium. 4ss5 t%s {.1.;zs 81 = 4 4; r9,7t
