ENDORSES AND KICKS OUT.
Minneapolis Times:

Minneapolis Times:
AS to the Clausen affair, we submit
that the impression left upon the public
mind cannot fail of being inimical to
Mr.. Lind, and we say this the m re re-
gretfully in that the Governor has
ability, personal integrity and many
other qualities valuable to and in a
public man. The Governor and his
leading friends Nopenly, persistently.
emphatically accused Clausen of dis
honesty. CIausen is Endorsed by the
railway commissioners, but resigns,
giving as reason the very proper one,
that he could not fill the position of
chief grain inspector acceptably if he
was to be deprived of the support of
the chief executive. Then the chief
exective indorses the resigning official
in terms as strong as can we'll be i'm
agined, and volunteers the statement
that he does not expect the successor,
''of one of the ablest if not the ablest
wheat men in the United States" to
escape criticism. Not one hint as to
the alleged dishonesty of Mr. Clausen.
Several broad statements of high praise.
If Governor Lind is sure Clausen is dis.
honest why should he volunteer such
unrestricted commentator? If he is
not sure, why dtsplace the ''ablest
wheat man in the United States" until
he can find out as to his rectitude OF
the reverse?

The Duluth Herald says the grain de-
partment is no place for politics or
political ward heelers, and then pro-
cedes to approve of Gov. Lind's course
of making it the asylum for Popocratic
spoilsmen. That seems to be the
Herald's idea of consistency.
