New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1912-12-18

nothing but what is bright and touched
with promise
Il know you have only to appeal 10
the people of the United States on the
right grounds to put those who resist
out Of business, ALWAYS provided that
you mean what you say.
People are making all sorts Of pre-
dictions about the trouble we're going
TO have" said the Governor with a
knowing smile. He added significantly:
There is no need to worry about that
for it will he a public trouble, and the
great jury can judge Of the merits.
He next referred to some newspaper
having taken him to task because he
said that when he was I'm the White
House the door would be always open.
Mr.. Wilson qualified by saying that 1t
would be open only 10 those having
business with him, and he made it plain
that after he took the oath of office on
March he would feel bound to cut
OUT all things that do not relate 10 the
nations business.
Sympathy for Big D.
He then referred 10 the defence of
Justice Chase when answering the
charge that he had used profanity in
addressing the jury, and OF the jurist's
defence that damn" was a necessary
hot fr ,,.1 l., cold ba fnt1nI
since quitting the quieter walks of aca-
demic life he learned to sympathize
with The judicial wielder Of the big ID,
and said that ne observed that politics
increased the temptation TO profanity.
You can avoid that Uhe big ID in
public" he said, but there are places
and persons in the presence Of which
its use is proper and imposing. | think
the recording angel doesn't listen to IT.
because he knows that without such
words the business Of the world
couldn't go on.
Il have been wandering in my talN
tonight" ne remarked. but all my
talk has centred about this one thought
that if YOU cannot leave a dinner Ike
this without purposing TO put more
force into the Dest things OF the nation
then YOU have wasted an evening.
The large gathering Of diners ana
! the hundreds Of festively arrayeu
, women and men who filled the galleries
! of the great ballroom of the Waldorf
/ Astoria to hear MIR. Wilson came very
year being disappointed. a telegram
from the distinguished guest asking 10
be excused was received by the presl-
dent Of the society, but the telephone
was used to such good purpose that
| the President-elect arrived at the hotel
i from Trenton at $50 o'clock.
Meanwhile. the dinner had been
served and the speaking began. JUS
tice jerks was in the midst of a story
about a college president when Gov
ernor Wilson entered the room, and
was greeted with hearty applause.
Winding his way between the crowded
tables. the Governor was led TO the
seat of honor. Justice jerks finished
his remarks and was followed by
Augustus Thomas, the playwright, as
Governor Wilson had chosen to be the
last speaker Of the evening.
"The fate of corporations is Nor
ganatic marriage said Justice jerks
in the course of his speech. Another
of his terse descriptions of present day
problems was: The high cost of living
makes life a luxury and death neces-
sty."
