By the Assoclated Press. WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, Ga., December 1.—Gov. Franklin D. Roose- velt was speaking facetiously at the supper here Saturday night in using the phrase “sink of iniquity” in men- tioning the City of New York and was setting forth what he understood to represent the attitude of some unacquainted with the metropolis. Guests who were present today em- phasized this. Charles F. Palmer of Atlanta, who presided, said: “As by inference I had been touching upon feasts of the ancient Romans, Gov. Roosevelt immediately caught the cue and contrasted the informality of the ’possum dinner with the State oc- casions which are properly required under other circumstances. “With his justly mous, cordially contagious smile, he made mention of that ‘sink of iniquity’ New York. (If he had been writing, he would have put the phrase in quotation marks)—where formal functions are necessarily re- quired, but at which neighborliness cannot show itself so good naturedly as iptly responded laughingly to his joke and were unanimous in proclaim- ing any eity that requires State dinners as a ‘sink of iniquity’ when compared with White Sulphur Springs, Ga., where all were enjoying such a rollickingly friendly, old-fashioned good time in do- ing honor to the Governor of New York State. “As T understand the expression, the Governor was using the phrase of oth- ers unacquainted with the great city and of course did not himself mean to convey that as his idea.” - Sunday Laws Enforced.
