The New York mail" of May 20 lets
out hysterical shrek, insdouble- loaded
type, calling upon President Taft to
move at once on Congress and prevent
the awful catastrophe of Tariff bill
that does not provide for an all-round
reduction of duty rates. OF course, the
President cannot lawfully dictate in ad-
vance of Congressional action what the
schedules shall or shall not be. Equally
of course, he has too much sense to at
tempt anything of the kind. But the
"Maip' takes no account either of the
law or the proprieties in the case. In
its craze for having something done to
the Tariff that will satisfy the "pro-
gressives," no matter what happens to
business, it demands that the President
shall butt in and tell Congress what to
do and what not to do. When the Tar
if reform" bug once gets into the
editorial ear strange things happen.
We wonder what the MALLS" pa

Rogers, the brains of the oil trust,
who recently died. once said while ad-
dressing young men: Don't be a
pessimist. Believe in yourself and
your country. We are entering upon
an era of development and prosperity
unparalleled in the history of the
world. The young man who realizes
this fact is the young man who will
succeed. The resources of this great
land have only been scratched. The
next fifty years will see wonders in
the way of development that even we
do not dream of. That's why l say to
you. young men, don't be pessimistic.

That Delta possesses fine lot of
business men. all who know them and

build a city, establish its trade and
make it permanent. If there is one
thing more than another which Delta
people can feel proud of, it is her bust
ness men. They are active, capable
and enterprising. To them is largely
due the rapid and substantial advance
