Show ! 1 Editor and Public Office 1 1 1 Editor E. C. Hacon, of the Ouray, Colorado, Herald, Is out after the post- mastership In his homo town, and here's tho way the Silverton Minor views Bacon's asprlations. The M Inter In-ter says: "There Is a rumor that Em-csi Em-csi C. Hacon, editor of the Ouray Herald will be tho next postmaster at Ouray. Hope Its true. Once In a long very long time something good In politics comes tho way or an editor. As a rule, lie can shout for his party until he Is black in the ,face, wrlto column after column of stuff, week arter week and year after year, attend caucuses and conventions and carry a banner In the parade and then when a little piece of dinkey printing, which should be his by rights, Is to be given out, he has to bid for It. Ilo must 1)0 Johnny-on-the-spot every week In the year, his paper must never nev-er show tho shadow of waverlng,but lie must keep his place and not ask for anything for himself And ordinarily U an oil Ice should be so unwise as to locate him, some fellow who has been in the county since befoie the hills wero built and has never been known to lift a hand for the partv will step In and grab Itboforo Mr. Editor can bat an eye. Here's to you, Hacon, you de-servo de-servo the best political Job your party can dig up, and Miner hopes you will not only get It, but that you will hold It until those sunklssed tresses arc whiter than Mount Abram's crest." |
