GRATING EVANGELISTS.

1t appears that there is no duty so
high and inspiring, nothing on earth
so fine and ennobling, as to remove
mere human beings from the sphere of
influence of filthy lucre. Accusations
are made now that evangelism has its
grafters. A speaker before the Ma
tienal Conference Of Eyangellsts de-
clares that this work Of saving souls
has degeneratcd into ''cOmmerciallsm
and professionalism. and that the
present day evangelist becomes so
tangled up with boosters and hymn
book propositions that he's merely a
money maker Another clergyman
said that some of the financial practices
OF the evangeists were nothing but
graft" He said one boosted To him.

GAYNOR AND HIS PROMISES
"A Disguised Citizen " Says Mayor
Is an "Artful Dodger."

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Mayor Gaynor Is certainly an art
ful dOdger He knows he has fallen into
deserved disrepute and considerable con-
tempt and he schemes in a long letter to
abuse the New York press as a means Of
diverting the citizens from himself and
his delinquencIes.
Mayor Gaynor should rot forget that
Immediately he came into the MayoTalty
he appointed his friend and partner into
job Of Si5.o0 a year. When Mayor Gay.
nor had been Mayor only a short time be
started a scheme 20 govern the city b.
Geynor charter, which would give himself
nearly all the power and increase bis OWE
income 5000 year
When Mayor Gayuor was soliciting the
votes OF the citizens N order 20 become
the Mayor he protested row yrOag were
the transit companies and how he would
change them. when he became Mayor DO
went over to the transit companies as II
he were their lawyer. and the result has
been that the citizens have been deprived
OF many transfers on the surface roads
The conditions Of the parks. the streets
the saloons. the police and the gamblers
all show that the Mayor has been "!nKnS
instead Of honestly working. The weights
and measures act has become a dead let

and We hear nothing upon the enfos"'

AS a FRIEND SEES 1T.

"The Evening Post" has regretfully
recognized the confused and Ineffective
character Of Governor Wilson's cam
psign oratory. Its ardent attachment
10 the Democratic Presidential nominee
does not blind IL to his faults as a
campaigner who tries to feed irrele-
vancies 20 the public when the public
wants to know what he really thinks
about the issues dealt with In the Dem
ocratic national platform. Our es-
teemed friend said on Saturday:
In reading the report Of such
speeches as those MADE by Governor
Wilson at Columbus yesterday even
though incompletely given In the dis
patches. one cannot help feeling keen
regret that the Intellectual energies or
a candidate Of his type should be fritz
tered away on the tiresome clevernesses
and fragmentary bits of argument and
assertion which constitute so large
mart Of the standard rear platform
oratOry. If Mr. Wilson were TO accu-
nnIlate for few important utterances,
and marshal I'm the best possible form,
the material Of political argument
which he has at command. the result
could not fail 20 be far more helpful
10 the building up OF genuine public
opinion on the issues Of the campaign.
II is not surprising that "rhe Even
ing Post Is dissatisfied with Governor
Wilson's insincere and dilettante treat
ment Of the tariff and trust issues.
within the last three weeks the Demo
cratic nominee has taken three abso-
lutely Inconsistent attitudes toward
tariff revision. He has said at one
time that tariff duties are restraint
on American productivity and injure
not only the community at large but
even the workman and the manufact-
urer in industries directly affected by
the farifY. II a man believes that tariff
duties are economically unjust and OPP
