Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1912-12-20

10 make public who owns the journals
of the country, but it also ought to be
made public who owns this or that idea.
III it cannot be produced by law it can
be produced by conversation.
Il have gone through a campaign in
which / endeavored to speak of things,
not of persons. but you speak of persons
by implication when you speak of
things and the palmer you make the
implication the more effective you make
the mark The only way to keep out
OF trouble in the future is TO see that
your name is connected with the right
thing.
II say this, not as a threat, but to
convey this intimation that men have
got to stand up and be counted and put
their names down. / think so soon as
men see this is business and not amuse-
ment, an enthusiasm will arise by which
il will be revealed that honor and in
tegrity OF purpose breed more prosperity
than any other things in the world.
God knows the poor suffer enough. A
man would hesitate to take single step
that would involve any further suffer-
ing. We must move to the emanciDa-
ton Of the poor.
AFRAID OF NOTHING.
The task ahead of me so far as il is
making appointments to Office is wholly
hateful, but task so far as ii is leader
ship of the United States is full Of
everything that is bright and touched
with confidence because 1 know that all
you have TO do is to appeal to the peo-
pie of the United States on the right
ground and put those who are wrong out
OF business. / am not a brave man
because 1 don't know anything to be
afraid OF.
Some people are making all sorts Of
sinister predictions as to the trouble
we are going to get into at Washing
ton. / don't think there should be any
concern, because il is going TO be pub
lie trouble and a great jury is always
going to know what the evidence in the
case is.
BUSINESS BEFORE ETIQUETTE.
L have been warned by some news
papers about keeping the door open, be-
cause they have said so many people
want to get into IL. Perhaps / should
have said that the door will be open
only to people who come to transact
business. want to say that may not
be very popular by preferring business
to etiquette, but after 1 take the oath l
shall feel obliged to transact business
and will feel obliged to cut cut every
thing that does not touch that business.
But business has to be supported and
comprehensively presented to the people,
so / will not feel it necessary to stay
i'm Washington all the time but TO find
out by conversation with my neighbors
everywhere what they think, for it is
a great deal more important 10 the
country what you think than what
think"
The governor diseoursed somewhat We
hemently on politics, and said there was
"too much manners in politics" and
that good taste often stands in the
way of public morals"
''It is not thought good taste in poll
tics, they say" he said. Ito say any
thing about a man unless it is compli-
mentary, but it may be very service
able" Mr.. Wilson smilingly declared
that since he had left academic walks
to get into the road" he had found an
increased temptation to profanity.
'T think that the recording angel
probably does not hear those things,
he added amid laughter, "for there is
such a thing as righteous anger" The
speaker here made reference to posi-
BILE changes in economic policy, though
he mentioned no specific thing.
PANIC A STATE OF MIND.
Some people say" he asserted, that
business is going to be disturbed by
the Changes WHICH are gums " DC VII

mean changes in economic policy. Bust
ness cannot be disturbed unless the
minds of those who conduct it are dis
turbed. A panic, according to the die
tionary, is really a state of mind. There
is Just as much money in the country
the day after a panic as the day be-
fore, but IL is distributed differently
as a result Of the panic"
Here the governor issued his warn
ing against the deliberate starting
Of panics. AS he concluded his speech
he remarked that perhaps he had ram
bled in his subjects but that he had
tried to steer away from politics as
much as possible.
Throughout the speech there were
frequent interruption OF applause and
there was a storm OF cheers when Mr..
Wilson finished speaking.
Mrs. Wilson sat in a box with her
daughters.
The ball room in the hotel where the
banquet toook place. was crowded, the
list guests including many persons
prominent in public life.
