ness men from all parts of the coun-
Try, at luncheon here today, de-
,ared that "thc men who constitute
what we have agreed to call Wall
street, have a subtle genius for
promising seemingly immaterial
when called into consulta-
ton concerning the affairs of the
country, which would eventually lead
to the defeat of the main objects Of
the legislation proposed
DO you wonder said the presi-
dent, that / do not call them into
and yet ] tell you again
that they will welcome the moment
they come to cooperate, and they Will
not be welcome until then"

Companiod by Mrs Wilson and the

Three cheers for Wilson, the pro-
gressiyel'
Instantly the crowd was in an up
roar. hurting their napkins into the
air and cheering again.
In his speech to business men the
president said in part.
Serious Periods of History,
1--WE are living in very serious
period Of the worlds history and.
therefore, Ii seems 10 me especially
encumhcnt upon us that we should.
so far az possible, search every ques-
ton TO the heart And when | think
of searching the business question to
the heart, it seems 10 me that thcro
are some worry large reckonings which
have too often been left out of the
account, when you think of the ulti-
mate foundations Of business you must
know that you find them in the con-
ditions Of national life, and that tho
particular conditions upon which sue
cessful vital business depends are tho
conditions which touch the daily lifo
of the common mass Of people of tho
country.
business Is not a matter OF organ
izing genius. Business is not wholly
u matter Of financial initiative. Busi-
ness does not altogether consist Of
seeing the opportunity and trying to
avail yourself of it. 1t consists in
having deep sources Of strength to
draw from. and the only source of
strength for business as for govern
ment are to be found in the general
body OF the people. Are they contenti
What People Need.
People not contented do not work
we'll Are they living under the
proper physical conditions? A people
stuntod in their growth or arrested in
It's vitality or hampered in it's physi-
cal growth, does not work well. Arc
they confident that they are living
under conditions under which they
will get justice and the right Of con-
sideratiou Of those who are put over
them? II they suspect that they are
being put upon, used for the behoofs
of others, they will grudge every
stroke of work that they do and do
1t only because they must have bread
for the mouths of those dependent
upon them The roots of business my
fellow CtjlZens, lie deep IN the heaTlS
and thoughts and daily lives of tho
people who crowd about us every day
on the streets and on the country
side.
And the thing that has disturbed
tho thought of "a great many men in
recent years in this country is that the
general body of the people have EST
the impression that they are being
exploited that they are being used,
that their vitality Is being drawn, in
order that others might prosper and
they get the crumbs from the table.
What / am constantly reminding
myself Of is that opinion is Just as
much fact as any law of physical
nature. If II has been wrongly cre-
ated II can he altered. but until IL is
altered II is something to deal with.
