WALTER LOWRIE FISHER is
NOW THE SECRETARY OF
THE INTERIOR.

Washington.-The resignation of
Richard A. Ballinger of Seattle as sec
retary of the interior was accepted
to-day by President Taft and Walter
l. Fisher of Chicago was appointed as
his successor.
In his letter of acceptance the Presi-
dent expressed deep regret and bitter
ly denounced the enemies of Ballinger.
1t appears in the correspondence
between the President and Mr.. Bal
linger, which was given out by the
White House, that the secretary's res
ignation has been in the Presidents
hands since January 10Th; that it was
held in suspense at the request of
Mr.. Taft and that the latter accepted
1t at the urgent request of Mr.. Bal
linger.
In giving his consent to the secre-
tary's retirement, Mr.. Taft takes occa-
sion to declare with emphasis his un-
changing faith in the integrity. the
motives and the official standards OF
Mr.. Ballinger, and his unmeasured in
dignation at the methods of those who
assailed him, declaring that he has
been "the subject of one of the most
unscrupulous conspiracies for the de-
famation of character that history can
show.
The secretary later. in written
statement, expressed the intention to
return to Seattle and, after a rest, re-
sumo the practice of law. He says his
defense has cost him not less than $685.
900 and that he is now a poor man.
At the same time he declared 1t his

spirators who have been following me

at Twelve O'Clock.

A mass meeting of all the farmers
present, whether they are members
of the Farmers Union or not, will be
held at the Fair Grounds on next
Wednesday, November Is, at twelve
o'clock. This meeting will be held
for the purpose of giving each and
every farmer an opportunity to
prove his faith by his works. At the
recent Columbia. meeting it was de-
cided to have blanks sent all over the
State, and get the farmers to sign
them, promising to hold a certain
number of bales so long a. time, and
at the same time to reduce their
acreage 60 per cent. next year.
The necessary papers have been
mailed to the President of the Far
mers' Union and the Clerk OF Court.
Invitations have been sent out for
speakers, and it will be a fine oppor-
tunity for the farmers present to en-
dorse the movement now on foot and
to save the remainder of this crop for
better prices. Remember the fight
that was won by the farmers of this
county twenty years ago against the
Jute trust, and make an effort to bet
