WILSON SWEARS
VENGEANCE On
PANIC MAKERS
Issues Dire Warning in Speech
Before Southern Society in
New York.

woodrow Wilson declared that any man
,,.bo would deliberately start a panic
+, the United States to show that the
attended legislative policies of the new
.6ministration were wrong would be
hanged by him on a "gibbet higher than
r1a,7snts" He said he meant not a
literal gibbet, but a gibbet of public
storn.
The governor here told his hearers OF
his strenuous day.
we thought we Strengthened things
ont in New Jersey" he said. but they
won't stay straight.
There are some people in New Jer-
sew who are happy that they can count
The davs when they can get rid of me.
Pm they are not going to get rid of
me 4 man can live in Washington
and know what goes on in New Jersey,
and man can say from Washington
what he thinks about New Jersey, and
he can FAY it in the only most effectual
vav-by mentioning names.
How To Avoid Trouble.
This anonymous assertion OF iniq
r,tv ought to be stopped. It's all very
well 10 make public who owns the jour
mails Of the country but it also ought
10 b. made public who owns this or that
idea. If il can not be produced by law,
{. ran bep reduced by conversation.
"T have gone through campaign in
vsien ealeavored TO speak Of things
ro- Of persons, but you speak of per-
sons by implication when you speak OF
aiqes, and the palmer you make the
Haulicatiolt the more effective you make
the mark. The only way to keep out OF
trouble in the future is to see that your
,e-oe is connected with the right thing.
II say this not as Il threat. but to
aouya,. ti7fs Inclination that men have
got 2, stand up and be counted and put
fae.r names down I think so soon as.
men see this is business and not amuse-
mint. an enthusiasm will arise by
which Fl will he revealed that honor and
integrity Of purpose breed more pros-
neritv than any other thing In the
world. God knows the poor suffer
enough. A man would hesitate to take
a single step that would Involve any
further suffering We must raoxaseto
the emancipation of the poor.
"The task ahead of me, so far as 1t is
making appointments TO office, isl
wholly hateful, but the task, so far as
# is leadership Of the United states, is
full Of everything that is bright and
lched vita confidence, because I
know nat eli you have to do is TO APP

No iced For Concern.
~s.I. people are making all sorts OF
s4ste, predictions as to the troubles

'7a. [ don't think there should be any
concern. beeaase It is going to be public
trouble and a great jury is always go
hl- TO know what the evidence in the
case is.
Il have been warned by some news
papers about keeping the door open,
because they have said so many people
want 20 get into it. Perhaps l should
nave said that the door will be open
only To people VINO come to transact
business. ] want to say that 1 may not
be very popular by preferring business
10 etiquette. but after | take the oath

NaihS that does not touch that bust

anu eompTehensively presented to the
Feops, 50 | viii not feel 1t necessary to
say III Washington all the time but to
nAo out by conversation with my
4tign3ors everywhere what they think,
.2F il is a great deal more important to
TNe country what you think than what
