the calf often and bed it with liberal

Chicago, Jan. 3.-President-elec
Wilson told gathering of 200 of the
richest men in the central west-bank.
ers, railroad presidents, etc.-that it
was up to them to prove to the rank
and file of the people of the country
that they have no cause to distrust
the business and business men Of the
country.
THAT is your business" declared
the chief executiye-to-be. ut is not
mine"
The occasion was his speech at the
annual banquet Of the Chicago Com
merciaI club here. Governor Wilson
said that whether or not the people
we're justified in distressing business
and business men it was fact that
they did distrust them. That. he said,
was one of the great obstacles to the
accomplishments of the four prime re-
forms, which he enumerated.
The banqueters appeared to like the
president-elect's speech in spite of the
fact that he told them what they
would have to do. They applauded
him frequently, especially when he de-
scribed well-known methods of finance
in gocd-humored words. But they
showed their disagreement with him
by refraining from applause when he
declared that monopoly must be end
ed-and he chided them good-humored-
ly for it
Governor Wilson was loudly ap-
plauded when he said:
I'm not indicting the banking meth
DDS OF the country. The banking sys-
tenn of this country does not need to
be indicted. It has been convicted"
Wilson said four things must be
done either by the business men vol
unfairly or under the whip of the
law" These four things were:
Natural resources must be conserved
and also used for the common good.
Raw materials must be put at the
disposal of every person in the United
States, on equal terms.
Banking terms must he put on terms
u equality to all.
Business must be set free of every
form or every kind Of monopoly
