Settles Post Office Quandry

Dear EulIOr.
| have read with no ordinary
interest the recent editorial in your
paper referring to the future aspirant
to the office of postmaster. If space
viii permit, | desire to affirm my
opinion.
/ do not desire to rectify or de-
grade the opinion of the writer. New
ertheless there apparently appears
the spirit Of favoritism. Everyone, in
variably possesses this trait. This is
due to antipathy or due to the talents
of the individual concerned. The pre-
vious statement is general one. To
be specific, however, / cannot compre-
bend why the qualifications (if such
they are) Of postmaster are as the
writer warranted them. To my opin-
ion ability to do is one of the great
assets to success in any business
which includes the office of postmaster
President Harding has shown him.
self to be wise and prudent leader.
This depression is pardonable as
refer primarily to the executive order
issued by the Presidenta S regards
vacancies in post Offices. That is, the
offices of postmaster are hereafter
considered on the same level as other
depars mental Offices. namely, that fu-
ture postmasters will receive their ap-
pointment by competitive examina-
tons. This executive order abolishes
party discrimination, that is, these
exam nations are non-political and
both republicans and democrats are
eligible.

Another Views Post Office Matter
Belding, Mich, Aug. 2, 1921.
Editor of Banner-News.
Dear SIR In last weeks Bedding
Banner-News l noticed some one has
thrown a monkey wrench into the
post Office machinery. But / would
like to say if all of the patrons of
the Beld ng post Office would do as
l would do, that servant of the gov
eminent at Washington would see
much larger monkey wrench thrown
in to the same machinery. If there
is a man in Ionia county that is en-
titled to be Postmaster of Belding
that man is Mr.. Bert Gregg. He has
worked faithfully for his government
for years. He has earned the right
to be the next Postmaster of our city
have resided in Bedding steady from
1890 and have seen that the Postmas-
tiers of Bedding have looked after their
own private business fully as well as
they have for the government, but
Mr.. Gregg was on the job to see that
the wheels kept turning in the right
direction. Now some one would like
to grab off the plum that rightfully
belongs to Mr.. Gregg.
The overseas fellows holler in the
news papers Haven't we earned it,.
Well ask yourself this question; "has
not Mr.. Bert Gregg earned the right
to be Postmaster Of Belding? ?" If
not, what have you done to earn the
right and if you are appointed would
not Mr.. Gregg have to help you to
learn the new business. No large
employer of labor to my knowledge
uses it's employees that way. Put a
green man to the head of their plant
and tell their long time true and
faithful employees to teach the new
man how to hold his job so he can
draw down the fat salary. Such a
damnable business as that don't get
any help from me. In all fairness to
Mr.. Gregg, let me state that he may
not want to be Postmaster of Bedding
for he has not said a word to me
about it and this letter will surprise
him as we'll as you.
And let me state that the reasons
/ write it is this-I am too much of
an American citizen to see such stunts
pulled off without saying a word.
If Fordney is the whole thing ct
Washington, if the patrons of the
Belding Post Office sees things as
see them he, Fordney, would get a
batch of mail from Bedding that would
cause him to st up and take notice
for what he was sent down there for,
because there are other people that
can hold his job.
Yours respectfully,
w. l.. Shipman,
Bedding, Mich.

the saloon in which she waited alone;
her coming there secretly in the night;
the meeting with an unknown man;
the accompanying him up that black
alley to this hidden rendezvous of con-

worthy.
In spite of all this evidence as to the
truth of the matter, nothing harmo-

was too wide. Yet there was no other
explanation possible-she was actually
here, in the den of conspiracy, alone

recognized representative of the
Chilean revolutionary junta, bringing
with her direct from Washington those
final instructions for which they wait

unneutrality, destruction, death, fright

government; all this that could be COM

dollars in ruthless hands. 1t was I'M

true.

rooms had been constructed, connected
