1Y1LS0X URGIXt GENERAL SCHEME OF PREPARATION >ot Expecting Country to Get Into War, Because He Does not Expect Certain Gentlemen to Get in andj Make Mess of Things. ? I Shadow Lawn, X. J., Oct 21.?Presi- I dent Wilson expounded the merits of! ! the federal reserve act and the rural credits system to 3.000 farmers an<li their friends here today. He urged the farmers to join in the general j scheme of preparedness which has j nnHorrakpn. and said: UCCli Uliuv* y _ "I am not expecting this country t<v j get into war, partly because I do not expect certain gentlemen to get m ; and.make a mess of things." Referring to the campaign, Mr. Wilson said he was glad it was nearly over. There has been too much loose talk," he declared. "Let us sober up and get down to -business again. Our relations with the rest of the worl^ are to be incomparably more intimate in the years to come. That is .thw reason we are submitting certain men to the third degree concerning where tljey stand on world politics." j The main points of the president's address follow: "More has been done for the farmer in these last three and a liair years than was ever attempted before, partly because in some of the earlier genera, tions the largess of nature was so great that it did not seem to demand national attention, b tualso because the attention of the country has been conCfntrated by the leadership of men with a special point of view. Tariff. "I can illustrate the point of view! i "by the way in which the tariff has been treated. You as farmers never1 were told. I take it that you were] getting the direct benefit of the tarift. You were told you were getting the indirect benefit of the tariff. You were getting it with extreme indirection because you were getting it by having duties placed upon almost everything that you had to use and, therefore, the cost of almost everything that you had to use was enhanced and you were promised hardly more than this, that if the country prospered, you would necessarily prosper with the country; but you would pay for the prosperity at a very considerable price. That was not added, but that was implied. "JAnd the whole point of view of our legislation has been this, that a spe* cial set of men who thought they could .guide the nation better than anybody else and preferred to guide it in private, asked certain chief beneficiaries of the tariff to come together and suggest what the schedules of the tariff ~ should be, and then to contribute the * literature and the support of the orators and also the other instrumentalities or propaganda to make the country believe that if these men who planned the tariff were rich the rest of the country would share tneir riches. Motive All Right ^ "I am riot impugning the motives of these men. Some of them, many of them, may have had tiigh and patriotic motives.' But I am ready to impugn their intelligence. They did not know that unless a nation is lifted with something like systematical movement, the whole mass participating in the uplift, it does not suffice to lift up *nn hMiefit certain parts of it ft The olject of the government is t partnership, common counsel, everybody in the participation of wniclt leads to the constructon of legislation. So that these gentlemen have had the idea that it was best for us to be in the hands of guardians. Now I, foj A have come of age sometime ago and W I decline to live as a ward. I insist upf on living as a grown up individual and to insist that I shall be considered primarily along with the rest and not t secondary.

Ytu have never before had the proper means for utilizing your real assets. There are no more real assets in the country than yours. "But, after all, that <loes not meet the difficulty that began describing, the difficulty of co-operation im-nrr fnrinprs. And. therefore, more Uli.w*4{? interesting still are the successful efforts that have recently been made by the department of agriculture to guide the farmer in his rural organization which will bring him into cooperation, to supply him with the scientific information of the world with iegard to farming, not only in written form, but in the form or demonstrations. Experts for Fanners. "The recent legislation and the re cent appropriations of congress inaK? it possible to put two demonstrators and experts in every rural county tf the Union, in order that by way of demonstration in the neighborhood itself the scientific knowledge and exi perience of the world in agriculture should be carried to the farmer. No such tremendous educational machinery was ever created before in thi.? country. "There are two things necessary to make farming a business so far as selling the crop is concerned. You j have got to know where you can get j your best price and you have got to | be able to ship in the most advantageous way. It is, therefore, desirable that you should co-operate with your neighbor farmers in order to have a single agency through which to make large shipments to the right places. These instrumentalities are suggested and in some part supplied by the agricultural department. We have been trying to take the government of the country out of the control and from under the guidance of small groups and square it with the cousel of the v\h;;!e nation, w* h&'* been :.r*. v .0 make a partner >rip of i: and I gml to say we have succeeded.

"What has surprised some of these gentlemen is to discover how man> ethers there are who really understand the United States. The United States is beginning to understand itsel! and it is 'beginning to understand aontlomori "Now I want to illustrate in another way that has nothing to do with farming, what we have been y*ying tc accomplish and I want you to fceet in mind, as the central word of the whole idea of government mat I am trying to expound, the word 'co-operation.' "And I want you to contrast thai .word with the wx>rd 'combination..' "Co-operation means all of us gettino together; combination means some ol us getting togetner ana aomg wnac ^ please.

I iCui.-pcan war h j been that tiie ecu-j j nonnc mobilization of the country, the' I economic co-ordination and co-opera-J ! uon of it is just as important as! i .:i!:i iry co-operation. The advantage ! we s.w was this, that if we could :n-.ke the various manufacturers, the scientists in the practical laboratories, the engineers undertaking the great; ! tasks, some of which are now char- j acteristic of times of war, realize that J the nation was not safe in time of war j unless they co-operated, till inevitable i result would come, that the nation would see that it was not safe unless they co-operated in time of peace, too. "I am not expecting this country to get into war. I know that tlie way in which we have preserved peace is objected to and that certain gentle-j men say they would have taken some other way.

"I am very gljd to take advantage of the present concentration upon the problems of war to make it evident to the country that those same problems are the problems of peace. "In the immediate future this country ias got to draw upon its re sources in the most intelligent way and has got to make conquest of all those men who refuse to co-operate. "That is the intelligent unng 10 ao. Almost anybody will see it if you point it out to him. It had just not been seen by a sufficiently energetic body of men and now we are seeing it. "Some of my most interesting experiences in recent months have been in connection with this. For example, representatives of the great merical i and surgical societies of the United States, when they saw what we were after, came r.nd offered jto co-operate - J' ' * ?j 1 ? ? : ? ? witn us 10 ine iiinii m ueveivpms me kind of co-operation which. would be necessary in time of war. Represen! tatives of the great scientists of the country have done just what the engineers have tried to do with regard to the industries. My friends, thi3 - country is waking up to its unity, to ' the sense of partnership and co-opera tion and co-ordination which has been 1 by intention at any rate, and I hope by performance, the impelling motive I of the present administration. Worship on Empty Stomach. "That is the reason we recently ap propriated $36,000,000 to these vari > oils undertakings that I nave oeen ue' scribing as against only $24,000,000 in ! previous administrations. That is the i reason why we have worked upon this philosophy you cannot worship God on empty stomach. You cannot be as :> patriotic when you are starving. The spirit of the nation in some sense ; comes from the feeding of the nation. ' "There is an interesting illustra* : tion of how much the Bible illuminates the human spirit in the fact that i in the Lord's prayer the first petK i tion was 'give us this day our dally - bread,' and that the spiritual injunc tion, the injunction of what we are to dp with our spirit came after the | prayer that our bodies should be sustained.
