Gooernor Wilson'S Talk
at Southern Society Dinner

When Governor Wilson stood up, he
began by saying that he was greatly
embarrassed, because, when a man is
made to think about himself, that is
the profoundest cause for embarrass-
ment." Continuing, he said:
When you we're voting for me you
voted for me because you thought
would get certain things done. Now
you are looking at the work of your
hands. To me what / wish to be is
not important; the important thing is
what | wish to do.
And in doing the job ahead of us
we can best succeed by forgetting that
we are partisans of any kind, except
partisans to the honor and prosperity
and intelligence of the country itself
And we can not be Jealous of the hon
or of the nation unless we are jealous
of our own honor and spend some of
our fine energy for the general good.
What has interested me lately has
been the change of thought, of men of
high position. have seen business
men admit that they have been con-
Quoting business in the wrong way and
in the wrong spirit.
business men have given up the
notion that they are the special trus-
tees appointed to do the thinking for
the rest of mankind and to extract
prosperity according to their particu-
lar plans. Men with such a viewpoint
could not well have much respect for
the rest of the United States. Not
because have been a leader in this
movement, but because a general wave
of sentiment has arisen in the whole
country, men in all stations of life are
finding what kind of liberal ideas are
dispersed throughout the country.
"As to the task ahead of me, so far
as it concerns the appointment of men
to office it is wholly hateful. But it is
altogether attractive wherein it con-
Gems the leadership of the effort of
the people of the United States to
think out their own problems. | be-
lieve you have only to appeal to the
people on the right grounds to have
them rise and put out of business any
man who opposes their well-cosidered
purposes. But it will be dangerous for
the leader if he shows single evil
dence that he is not sincere. And
more than one instance of apparent
insincerity would be well-night fatal
1t isn't question of being right all
the time, but of moving in the same
direction all the time.
"If they beat you temporarily in
politics, you can afford to go down
smiling when you know you are right,
for you know it will not be necessary
