The SITUATION SATURDAY,.
The Developments in the Fight on the
Chief inspeetorship, as Gathered
by a Reporter Saturday.

Minneapolis Times, Sunday, July 90.
There were few developments ycster-
day in the state grain inspecto. ship
fight. Governor Lind made no public
move. Inspector Clausen took no &C
ton which could in any possible way
be construed as backdOWn, and
Commissioner Becker stands as firm
as the rock of Gibraltar.
One who spent the greater portion OF
yesterday forenoon with Clausen stated
that the latter would never resign. The
former is a close friend of the Lind
administration and his conclusion is
to be taken with considerable Gre
dence.
"Clausen will not resign" said he.
II know that. He will fight to the
bitter end, come what may"
General Becker declares he did his
duty as he saw it, and has nothing to
regret. He fails to recall any breach
of public trust, nor does he feel intim-
idated by semi-othcial warning ema-
mating from sources close to the state
administration. That Becker will
"stick" is believed by every person in
St. Paul cognizant with conditions.
But he will not ''stick," say the
Lind spokesman, if Clausen refuses to
resign. In that case the plan as far
as learned is to remove Becker and
have another grain inspector chosen.
1t has been announced by indisputable
authority that nothing will deter the
governor from action. He is deter
mined to clean out the grain depart
ment. Clausen will have to go, und
in order to accomplish that Becker
will be removed if necessary.
1t developed yesterday that Bank
Examiner Pope has been spending
some days on the books of the ware
house commission. Friday was not
the first day he was at that depart
ment. Nor has he concluded his
labors.
''He is looking up the rotten pla-
ces in the administered of the grain
department, said state official yes
terday. ''We know where the rotten
est is now, and we have sufficient evil
dence to warrant the removal of Beck
er and the throwing out of Clausen.
The governor will give the public the
news in a few days. But mark my
words, the grain department is rotten,
and will be thoroughly re-organized. "
Yesterday Governor Lind Received a
heavy batch of petitions from farmers
of Chippewa and Wilkin counties, and
from Willmar, protesting most en-
phatically against the reelection OF
Clausen. A large number of letters
were also received by the governor
from prominent citizens at Sank Cen
ter, Granite Falls, Willmar and Wi
mona to the same effect.
Gov. Lind will take some action the
coming week. If Clausen refuses to
resign, Becker will be removed, and
the new board will name another in
spector. Those close to the state ad-
ministration say that Clausen will re-
sign, and that he is now putting up a
'strong bluff" But should he not,
he will be disposed of.

RINcvlLLE.

That the reports appear so seldom
is not because there is nothing going
on in Ringville; simply because there
is so much going on that we do not
get any time for them.
Harvest is in full blast. The crops
are not as good as they might have
been expected, but then the farmers
ought not to complain, just think OF
those that lost all.
Nearly every able-bodied man and
lady of Ringville, sojourned at Long
Lake last Sunday, the itemizer In
cluded.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thorn Larson and
Mrs. Albert Berg are now in this vi
cinity again.
Miss Gusta Newgord, who is at
present staying in Willmar, Sundayed
at home. She took in the fishing
party, too.
Mr.. King and Miss Lentz, of Bel
grade, accompanied a party from
Ringville to Long Lake, last Sunday.
Peter Lohn, that jolly Wisconsin
jovial, is again sojourning with rela.
tives and friends in this vicinity.
Now is the time to subscribe fol
the TRIBUNE. You can't afford to
miss the F'eig-Lawson discussion.
Miss May Coyne is attending the
teachers training school at St. Cloud.
We understand she is going to teach

The
new YORK WORLD,
THRlcE-A-WEEK FnlTl0N

Practically Daily at the price of Weekly.
The striking and important events
OF the last year have established the
overwhelming value of The THR1CE-A-
WEEK WORLD to every reader. For
an almost nominal sum it has kept it's
ubscribers informed of the progress
OF all our wars and, moreover, has
reported them as promptly and fully
as it 1t were daily. With our inter-
ests still extending throughout the
world, with our troops operating in
the Philippines, and the great Presi-
Dental campaign, too, at hand, its
value is further increased.
The motto of The THR1CE-A-WEEK
WORLD is Improvement. 1t strives
each year to be better than it was the
year before, and public confidence in
it is shown by the fact that it now cir
culates more than twice as many pap
ers every week as any other newspaper,
not daily, published in America.
We offer this unequaled newspaper
and WLLMAR TRIBUNE together one
year for $1.7O.
The regular subscription price of the
two papers is 81.

Might Better Have Kept Quiet.

The Willmar Tribune terms the school
meeting which was held there last Satur-
day evening week ago. disgracnful
wrangle although it admits that the ma
lority came with the calm determination to
40 what they be lieved was for the best in
terests of the school regardless of factions.
Whether the fact that Jas. A. Wharton. the
editor OF an opposing paper. was elected by
twenty majority over the Tribune'S candi-
date has anything to do with making it dis
graceful in the eyes of the Tribune man we
do not knOw.-Benson Times
Now, as the WILLMAR TRIBUNE never had
occasion to express it's preference between
Mr.. Wharton and Mrs. Rice, the Times has
no decent excuse for it's comment. When
one doesn't know anything Of the subject
discussed. one should not attempt to discuss
it. What the TRIBUNE objected to was that
people were so taken up with the contest be-
tween Wharton and Mrs. Rice that they al
lowed Sam Porter to be elected on the board
without opposition.
