What with Pat Grove, the kid
naper, Billy Sunday, the reformed"
base ball player, and others adver is
ing, themselves as 'reformed' actors,
entering evangelistic work the pro-
fessional evangelist business is being
worked to a FRAGILE. Some one is re-
sponsible for this imposition upon
the public. They are all depending
upon their previous unsavory record,
and their present sensational methods
for success, which they measure only

week that Sunday assaulted a mar
who suggested that he Sunday
ought to give all but 81 100000 of his
receipts for four weeks work to the
poor. Great man, that when he will
pull his coat and assault a decent
citizen for reminding him of what he
knows to be his duty. But Sunday is
out solely for the money. and so is
Kidnaper Grove, and SO is every ''re-
formed" this and that who advertises
his previous cussidness as his prin-
cipal drawing card.
