Some time ago the Daily Journal
expressed itself as being in favor Of
turning out all Republican postmasters
to make place for the Democrats. We
are of the same opinion still, where 1t
Is shown that applicants for office are
in every respect well qualified for the
place.
The Newberry Observer hits the nail
on the head when 1t says that the first
cabinet officer that ever came from the
great state Of Texas, Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson Is taking mighty high
ground" in nonpartisan politics. in de-
claring that he will not turn the Re-
publican postmasters out to make
place for Democrats.
Democrats were turned out by Re-
publicans in 81 and later, to make
places for Republicans; and there are
probably very few postofices Of any
consequence in the United States but
what are filled by Republicans now.
The greater portion Of them in the
southern states were rut into office,
not because Of any peculiar fitness for
the offices, but because of their being,
or claiming to be Republicans. They
themselves took the chances, and went
into office with no other thought in
their own minds and the minds Of the
appointing power than that they would
lose their jobs in the event of Demo-
cratic victory; and until this latest
announcement by the Democratic
postmaster general had NO idea of be-
ing able to hold on to their jobs. No
doubt the great majority Of them fully
realize the political justice and fair
ness that would put Democrats in
their places. They know they have no
claim on the party, and none on the
government itself, from any point OF
view.
1t is of course no consequence to
Mr.. Burleson, but we do not approve
of his extreme nonpartisan policy
Greenwood Journal.
We are inclined to think that our
friends the Journal and the Observer
are unnecessarily worried about these
matters. While we do not exactly ap-
prove of the idea of Misrepresentation
in regard to the matter, If any misrep-
resentation there has been, still it is
not surprising that the new admins
tration of the postal department should
attempt some means of protecting it.

onrush for jobs. All these postoffices

News of the financial embarrass-
fnent Of Mr.. ]. @. Wray Of Yorkville,
will be received with very general re-
gret by numerous friends in the imme-
diate vicinity and throughout the
county. After a long, hard fight
against sluggish business conditions,
and poor collections. 1t has at last
been necessary 70 turn everything over
to creditors, and this Mr.. 'Wray has

he has maintained a reputation for
square, honest dealing, and that record
remains unshaken in his present diff

Mr.. Stanhope Love, Of Yorkville No.
|. known very widely under the pen
name Of Ben Hope" spent last Satur-
day in The Enquirer Office in connec-
tion with settling up Of his club busi-
ness. Mr. Love, as Is well known to
his friends and acquaintances, has
been cripple from infancy and Ia un-
able to walk, even with crutches. He
must remain In doors all the time, ex-
cept when carried about, often in the
arms Of his younger brother, or others
who are able and willing to give him
such tender attention. 1t Is unneces-
sary to repeat the fact that consider
ing the disadvantages with which he
has had to contend, not being able to
60 to school, he has made unusual
progress in intellectual development,
and Is we'll informed on many subjects
which require, careful study. His read
ing has been extensive and well di-
rected, and he has been turning 1t into
the best account by putting his knowl-
edge, thoughts and sentiments into
print for sale to his friends and others
who may be interested in his efforts.
The most remarkable and pleasing
characteristic Of this interesting young
man Is his patience and cheerfulness
under his heavy aff1iction. He is frank
and open in his speech, not unneces-
sarily sensitive on account of his af-
fiction. and sincerely appreciative Of
any kindness shown him, enjoying the
spirit Of such acts as much as the
practical benefits derived. Mr.. Love
spent much Of his time in The Enquir-
er Office in the composing room watch
ing the typesetting machines and the
progress Of mechanical work generally.
He was wonderfully interested In 1t all
and did not hesitate to say SO, much
to the pleasure of those around him.
