POLITICS WIN.

Politics have trlumpned over ousl-
ness and the best interests of the
farmers, and ex-senator Reishus has
been elected chief grain Inspector In
place of Mr.. Clausen who resigned.
The action Of the commission Tues
day was somewhat of surprise, yet
but little different tn IN could be eX'
pected as the governor has seen ut TO
dominate the board and guide their
actions by his political will, rather
than by their best Judgment. La an
interview on the subject, the COVER
nor states that Mr.. Clausen's reslgna-
tion was not matter of susprise to
HIM, because he did not believe Mr..
Clausen was the kind OF man who
would stay where he was not wanted,
and he bluntly said he was not wanted
in the grain department..
Gov. Lind pays Mr.. Clausen a high
compliment as to his ability as
grain man, and says that while he
has been severely criticised he is re-
garded as one of the ablest If not the
ablest wheat man in the United
States. No man was more severe in
his criticism OF the state grain de-
partment upon the stump during the
campaign than was Gov. Lind and
his insinuations were ethat il was
handled by the Republicans for poll
tical purposes in the interests OF the
grain men. After he was elected,
and the thought of the duties OF office
had had a somewhat SOLDERING effect
he made an investigation in to the
workings of the department and gave
out somewhat different view of the
situation than he held in his cam
paign speeches. But the point we
wish to call attention to is thai in
his address in'this city, he declared
that changes would only be made
where men were incompetent, but
that where they were found capable
they would not he molested. He has
acknowledged Mr.. Clausen as one of
the best grain men in the country,
but notwithstanding turns him down
as has been the case with other cap
able officials, for political reasons.
Had he been honest with the public
at the start and said all Republicans
must 90, no fault could she found.
Political reasons have so far guided
all of the governors actions, and
doubtless will to the end, and looking
at it from a party standpoint, the
Republicans have no particular rea-
son to find fault. But from the point
of the welfare of the people-but
then a so-called reform administra-
tion never takes the people into &C.
count after the votes are safely
counted, politics guides everything
then.

Misrepresentation, and it's falsity IS

He cannot, therefore, charge the

the people who have been gathering
these stamps believed they were get

John Lind is governor, and when
he says the grain and warehouse de.
partment must be recognized, it will
be done. Those who stand lI the way
of reform must take the consequences
of their folly.-Duluth Herald.
Certainly, the fellows who have
been out in the cold for forty years
have got to be recognized, even if
they don't know the difference be-
tween wheat and barley. The public
welfare is matter of small moment
with the present state administra.
tion, Its the "boys in the trenches"
who have got to be looked after.

Now that this question of cooper
alton" is up we have taken some lit
tie pains to make Investigations to as
ertain who has been NEST cooper
ated." Before going into details,
however, we have felt it proper TO
let Mr.. Barnes and his pleasant
smile" have little more rope. If he
chooses to take 1t, in the columns Of
the Review, just to see how much
higher on the scaffold OF business
methods he will draw himself The
old adage that with rope enough a
calf is sure to hang himself is home

the case Of Mr.. Barnes.
By the way, we must still say to
Mr. Barnes that a member Of the
writer's family has never exchanged
any so-called premium stamps at his
store.

Mr.. Barnes, the gentleman who is
conducting the so-called cooperative
premium stamp business, has finally
brought himself before the public in
his published statements in the
columns of the Review, in a clear
light. and it had been left for him to
admit and prove precisely what the
Free Press has commended in it's former
articles, j. e. that the consumer pays
the freight for premium stamps. Mr..
Barnes says "this statement is true
and we fully and freely granted the
same" Yes, granted the same in one
place in the Review and in reply to
the allegations of the Free Press, but
absolutely contradicts himself and
falsely appeals to the public in an
other place in the same paper. In
his advertisement in the Review this
great commoner and public benefact-
or, whose pleasant smile" is about
all the value the holders Of premium
stamps receive in return for their
''patience in gathering them" and the
money which they cost them, makes
this statement, which reads quite diff
ferent from the admission above
o,oko1.
