Another confident prediction that
the country soon will enter upon
a new era of enterprise and prosperity
was voiced today by President Wilson
in a speech bfore the convention of
the American Electric Railway Asso
ciation. j
The President says in part:
"It seems to me that I can say with
a good deal of confidence -that we are
upon the eve of a new era of enter
prise and of prosperity. Enterprise
has been checked in this countrv for
almost 20 years because men were
moving amongst a maze of. interroga
tion points. They did not know what
was going to happen- to them. All
sorts of regulations were proposed
and it was a matter of uncertainty
what sort of regulation was going to
ue aaoptea.
For twenty years business has
been checked, eh? Has it been
stopped? The President evident
ly does not mean what his state
ment would infer, for such state
ment would be an insult to the!
intelligence of the people of these
United States. Certainly every
man knows that under this good
reign of Republican prosperity,
under this 16 years of protection
and magnificent business expan
sion we have enjoyed an era un
equalled in the history of the
country. Yet now what do we
