Seattle. Aug. CLOSING a busy day
at the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition
where New York day was being ceie-
brated. Governor Charles E. Hughes
was the guest of honor at banquet
given tonight in the New York state
building BY the exposition manage
ment During the day Governor Hughes

livered an address in the exposition au-
ditorium and held a public reception at

Alumni association. He was invited 10
participate in the unwilling of the Dust
of James J. Hill tomorrow afternoon,
but was forced to decline, as he hdu
made other engagements.
During the course of his address al
the exposition Governor Hughes touched
upon the problems confronting Amefl-
can national life. He said
Sometimes We hear men telling US
that we do not have very much respect
for law in this country as compared
with some other countries. II you are
/ to have respect for law in this country
( the law must be based upon those senu-
;
/ because of their justice and their fair
ness. There is no danger of socialism
here. The reason is that the average
/ American boy TO-DAY. the same as fifty
wears ago. starts Out from his home &c
I see what he can make of himself, ana
/ he wants the reward to which honesty
] and perseverance enUtle him.
There is no chance IOT demagoSy OF
/ any large scale either, because Of The
/ growing appreciation Of justice and its
| essential relation TO the success OF de
| mocracy. We are to be ruled by intel
! Hgent public opinion. We are SAFE
/ guarded BY extraordinary bulwarks o
conservatism in this country in our con
/ stitutional provisions, but our securit!
/ is not in the constitution, however Sc
cure or difficult TO change; our securit!
is in the educated intelligence of tn
! average man and his appreciation o
what is que TO his neignbor-
. Underlying all is our sense of ma
tionaI duty 1t is a far cry from Cone
Island to Mt. Rainier. but we are
GREAT deal closer than we are TO Mon
treaI. Every locality must have some
thing i'm which it is interested, and II ]
RIGHT and proper that it should struggi
for that interest, but, after all the pros
perity of the country as Whole IS NOR
important than any particular interes
and the general sentiment OF our peopi
is that not only united We stand ou
bv virtue of our union we prosper,
we have diversities Of laws, an
there is one of the great projects OF IN
future. There was opened up by IN
late president of the United states
wonderful avenue of opportunity Whe
he called that conference Of governor
a wear ago. We have needed TO con-
together as ths representatives Of tn
people of the respective common
weaIths and to talk over not what sha
, be done but can be best done locally,
that we may realize two bonds
unity. one through federal relauonshi
and another through state harmon
b made possible by our conception OF o.
e common interest and by increase IN u
5 facilities Of current exchanges.
