HUGHES GREETED BY
TUMULTUOUS CROWD

Nashville, Sept. 4.-Hughes, in
territory which no republican nominee
ever visited before, faced a tumul-
tuous audience here tonight.
AS the crowd cheered for Wilson
and interrupted the speaker with
questions, Hughes delivered his
speech criticising the administrators
policies and declared for a protec-
tive tariff.

end.

as much at home in the White House
as he was here. Do you share with
me the feeling, I wonder, that he was
permanently at home nowhere?. 1t
seems to me that in case of a man
I would rather say Of spirit-like
Lincoln the question where he was is
of little significance, that it is always
what he was that really arrests our
thought and takes hold Of our mag
nation. It is the spirit always that
is sovereign. The test of every
American must always be, not where
he is, but what he is. That, also, Is
of the essence of democracy, and is
the moral of which this place is most
gravely expressive.
Too Universal To Be Typical.
eve would like to think of men like
Lincoln and Washington as typical
Americans, but no man can be typi-
cal who is so unusual as these great
men were. And Lincoln and Wash
ington were typical Americans in the
use they made of their genius. But
there viii be few such mean at best,
and we viii not look into the mystery
of how and why they come. We will
only keep the door open for them al
ways, and hearty welcome-after
we have recognized them.
Had No Real Intimates.
'I have read many biographies of
Lincoln; I have sought out with the
greatest interest the many intimate
stories that are told of him, nara
tives of nearby friends, the sketches
at close quarters, in which those who
had the privilege of being associated
with him have tried to depict for Us
the very man himself tin his habit
as he lived;' but / have nowhere
found real intimate Of Lincoln's

narrative or Renaissance that the
writer had in fact penetrated to the
heart of his mystery, or that any man

its visions of duty where no man
looked on. This strange child of the
cabin kept company with invisible
things, was born into no intimacy but
that of its own silently assembling
and deploying thoughts.
Needs No Eulogy.
Il have come here today, not to
utter eulogy on Lincoln; he stands
in need Of none, but to endeavor to
interpret the meaning of this gift to
the nation of the place of his birth
and origin. Is not this an altar upon
which we may forever keep alive III
vestal fire of democracy as upon
shrine at which some of the deepest
and most sacred hopes of mankind
may from age to age be rekindlek7
For these hopes must constantly be
rekindled, and only those who live
can rekindle them. The only stuff
that can retain the life-giving heat is
the stuff Of living hearts. And the
hopes Of mankind cannot be kept
alive by words merely, by constitu-
tons and doctrines Of right and codes
Of liberty. The object Of democracy
IS TO transmute these into the life and
action of society, the self-denial and
self-sacrifice of heroic men and wo-
men willing to make their lives an
embodiment of right and service AMI
enlightened purpose. The commands
OF democracy are as imperative as
its privileges and opportunities ara
wide and generous. It's compulsion is
upon US. 1t will be great and lift 2
great light for the guidance of the
nations only if we are great and car
ry that light high for the guidance
OF our own feet. We are not worthy
to stand here unless we ourselves n
in deed and in truth real democraI
and servants Of mankind, ready to
give our very lives for the freedom
and justice and spiritual exaltation
of the great nation which shelters
and nurtures u.s."

!, LETTER;
Editor Independent.

Editor Independent.
Your Readers have all heard about
the awful war in Europe, but it is
only faint echo Of that world-con-
flict that reaches the peaceful re-
treats of western Tennessee. The
roaring of the death-tempest can be
family heard there. as the sound of
the hurricane in the tree-tops might
reach down to the yiolets below. But
here, at the eastern gate of the ma
tion, we catch the echoes more
plainly Of the conflict, beside which
all wars Of the past were but petty
quarrels. The great metropolitan
papers come out with their dozen or
more editions every day, and in big
black lines tell us the latest tragedy
in Europe or Mexico. !, New York
city is the home Of millions of people
Of foreign birth. many Of whom think
more Of their native land than ours,
and who, in the case Of outbreak of
war between us and the country Of
their birth, would not for moment
hesitate to take up arms against us.
1t requires constant activity to keep
the plotters from carrying through
their bad work right under our noses;
the devilish work Of putting bombs
on ships leaving our port, blowing up
munition factories, or fixing to blow
up buildings and even canals in a
neighboring nation. We have had
our hands full here running in men
who had planned to blow up the
Welland canal 10 Canada; ! saw the
ringleader brought into our office at
night, with his accomplices. who had
plotted here to do the deed in Cana
da; and since then We have had to
deal with many like him, all trying to
put through some bad scheme, which,
Matched on our soil, might get us into
trouble with some other nation. We
had to watch men trying to smuggle
ammunition and men into Mexico, and
what this branch Of Uncle Sans
watch force has had to do since l
came here last summer would make q
big book. The rascals are generally
caught, but others take their place,
and the dirty work goes on.
New York city is the great watch
tower'of the nation; here is where
the trouble, if 1t comes, will first be
manifested. The line Of buildings on
