1t has been said by way of discredit-
ing Senator Delivers sincerity at this
time that there has been lack >of
continuity in his efforts for tariff re-
form since his speech upon the re-
ciprocity treaties He is not justly open
to such criticism. There is a proper
time for every task and the time for
this task is now rather than hereto
fore. When he made his speech upon
reciprocity six years ago President
Roosevelt was just beginning his pro-
gram for the legislature which is
identified with the Roosevelt adminis-
tration. His plans were made and he
did not want to abandon them for tar
if legislation. He feared that tariff
agitation would interfere with his
plans, and he appealed to Senator
Doliiver to cooperate with him on
other lines and allow the tariff ques-
ton to rest until later The Messen-
ger knew Of this at the time, and was
itself influenced by the presidents
wishes. The president was the natural
leader and maker Of policies. His sin

Billy Sunday tells a story about
drowning. He says he went up and
down three or four times and all the
meanness he ever did seemed to fash
thru his mind. We have heard that
story before, but we don't believe
word of it. We came near drowning
ourself once. We went up and down
three Or four times, but we had but
one thought, and that was to get out.
Luckily help came and we were pulled
out, so weak from fright that we could
not stand. That was twenty-four years
ago this spring. and for twenty-four
years we have set down every drown
ing story of this Billy Sunday variety
as fakes.
