years, and who became a candidate
for postmaster at st. Joseph. under
the Harding administration, has re-
ceived his commission Of office and
has given bond and on July LIST as
sumes charge of the. post-office
here. We believe this is the first time
in certainly 80 years that St. Joseph
has had Republican postmaster.
We have no complaint to make at
the choice Of the Republican party
in selecting Mr.. Biggs for postmaster
ct st. Joseph since it Is the win Of
the Grand Old Party to displace the
Democratic incumbent. We are quite
sure, II the wishes Of the patrons Of
the office had been consulted, that
is, II they had been asked to name .
Republican postmaster for st. Jo-
seph. it being distinctly understood
that the selection had to be made from
the ranks Of that party, Mr.. Biggs
would have received unanimous sup
port. As far as he is personally con-
eerned we have no complaint to
make. He is capable, intelligent, we
are sure he will be accommodating,
and he is every inch q gentleman,
and he and his good wife and daugh-
ter will be desirable acquisitions to
the society of our town. The only
regret that our people have in his
appointment is that a breach in the
long and unbroken line Of Democratic
succession in the st. Joseph post
office must be made at this late day
by the party that has oftener been
In power than out Of power since
the days Of reconstruction. But this
We suppose comes as one Of the un-
explained results Of the World War.
But St Joseph should not complain
about having q Republican post-mast-
er, when 20 many Of st. Joseph peo-
pie do not complain about having
. Republican governor, elected large
ly by the votes of 20 many Republi-
cans, then like our Chief Executive
masquerading under the name of
Democrat, but now unmarked appear
ing in the light Of their true color.
It was the Republicans in Louisiana,
holding the balance Of power, and
masquerading rs Democrats, that
elected Governor Parker. knowing
that he was one Of their crowd.
Therefore II the Democrats Of this
town and parish can coalesce with
the Republicans and support one Of
their offering for Governor, and
glory in the act, we see no reason
Why there should be regret on their
part by having one Of his supporters
|-prsviously and subsequently, like so
many others, good old line Republic
