deeply sensible of your kindness in
writing me your letter Of March C.
Misrepresentation is the penalty
which men in public life must expect
in the course of their effort to render
service. The unfortunate fact is that
there are probably hundreds of men in
America of f1rst-rate intellectual force.
of genuine public spirit and broad
patriotism, who would be of immeasur-
able value to public service, but who
are deferred from entering 1t because
they shrink from this particular pen
atty.
"They prefer to pursue private ca
reers, rather than expose themselves
and their families to unfounded criti-
cism and attack, and the country IS
thereby impoverished. Such attacks,
moreover. create personal feelings and
party factions, which render the task
Of government infinitely difficult for
anyone who undertakes 1t. It Is the
more necessary, however. as I look at
1t, that these things should be borne
with fortitude. If not indifference. In
order hat our duty may be rendered
without regard to our personal feelings.
your defense of the historical accu-
racy of the statement attributed to me
was very generous, and I trust that I
may have the pleasure of seeing you
soon to thank you in person.
IT have often sincerely sympathized
with you in the complex and burden
some duties of your high office. The
country sometimes does not adequately
appreciate the grave problems of city
government that are being solved IN a
great city such as yours.
May 1 not congratulate o on the
character of the administration you
have succeeded in giving the greatest
metropolitan city of the country?
Cordially and sincerely yours.

Gayn0r Sends Condolences to Wilson
After Vicious Attack on His Methods

Mayor Gaynor has among his diversity of attachments that of apply
application of tongue-lash,= a S is shown by the fencities extended to
Woodrow Wilson to heal the thorny attacks previously made by the
Gotham executive These criticisms and antidotes follow:
Gayn0r Criticism of Wilson:
But straightway the State of New Jersey passed a statute enabling
corporations to unite and become a business unit, just as the Sugar
Trust and the Standard OIL were.
The cutlery against these trusts Gems to be quite a loud Owe in
that that New Jersey statute has not been repealed before this? Why
is 1t that n o one in office or out of Office over in New Jersey has
asked the New Jersey Legislature to repeal it?
mo Governor has sent a message to the Legislature of any State
which has this statute calling for it's repeal, 50 far a I have heard.
From which som people might deduce that the cry against trusts is
wholly insincere"
Everybody knows nor than anybody 1t is awfuIy hard to CON

ing about the country now. I don't know who would attend to my Off
ctal duties at the City Hall IL I went roaming I don't know how they
do It, They weren't elected to do it, No one ever got any dividends
out of big words that I know Of or from speaking from caruals at
