 HIGHER IDEALS
Above All Things, He Says, It Needs Intelligent Idea
 of Democracy.
Rinphampton.

Binghampton, N. Y., July A. Charles E. Hughes, speaking at the nearby village of East Hampton today, told a Fourth of July audience that what Americans need just now above all other things is an intelligent idea of the ideal of democracy. He as serted that the nation needed more than thrills of it's patriotism, and said his dream of America was of a coun- try officered by it's best men. accu- tuated by thought of self. He devout- ly hoped for new burst of sentiment of immunity from the country's pres ent perils. -s+s
 "We are not rash people," he said. "We are not filled with spirit of mil itarism; we are not anxious to get into trouble, but if anybody thinks that the spirit of service and sacrifice is lost; that we have not got the old sentiment of self-respect he does not understand the United States"
 MT. Hughes motored over from his summer home to view the village pre- paredness parade.

KEEP COOL; TRY TO SEE RIGHT;
 WILSON'S PLEA Dedicating New Labor Tenn pie, President Urges Calm
 Counsel. WE GET FIGHTING
 BLOOD UP QUICKLY Executive Believes That Greatest Bar. rier to Industrial Peace Is Difficulty of Candid and Dispassionate
 Conference.

Washington, July 4.-President Wilson today dedicated to a new "com- mon counsel and common understand ing" labor temple erected here as the new home of the American Feder- atoin of Labor He told large au- dience at the dedicatory exercise 1 that the greatest barrier to industrial peace bad been the difficulty of secur- ino candid and dispassionate confer ence and "that getting our fighting blood up" was "the long and short way" of securing right.
 The presidents address was inter- rupted twice by woman suffragette, who sought to heckle him regarding his opposition to the national suffrage amendment. She was silenced by se- cret service men, and finally taken away by the police.
 The Congressional union announced tonight that the effort was but the first step in new campaign to inn press Democratic leaders with the ad- visibility of passing the amendment at this session of congress.
 Mr. Wilson's plea for calm counsel brought repeated applause from the crowd, who apparently interpreted it as having indirect bearing on the Mexi- can crisis. The president, however, did not refer to Mexico or to any other foreign country by name.
 "The way we generally strive for right" he said, "is by getting our fighting blood up, and venture to say that it is the long way and not the short. If you come at me with your fists doubled I think can promise you that mine will double as fast as yours, but if you come at me and say, Let us get down and take counsel with each other and if we differ with one another understand why it is that we differ, and just what points at issue are.' we presently find that we are not so far apart after all; that the points on which we did differ are few, and the points on which we agree are many and that if we have only the patience and the candor, and the desire to get together, we will get together"

Daniels Discusses Patriotism.

Lewiston, Maine. July 4.-The youth of the future must be taught patri- otism without boasting, love of the country without chavinsm or without a trace of brag or buster, declared Secretary Daniels of the navy depart ment. speaking here today at Fourth of July celebration.
 "The day was passed" said Secre- tary Daniels, "when the spread-eagle orator boasted in stentOrian tones that Uncle Sam could whip anything in creation, but the day must never come when the American youth will not glory in the victories of Putnam and Marion and Washington or when we are not thrilled with enthusiasm when the victories of Paul Jones, Perry and MacDonough are related" ]"
 America" said the speaker, lis broadening it's viewpoint and getting away from a parochial patriotism"
 "Our parents and teachers" said he. "must point out that all wisdom will not die with us. and that the vir- tues we esteem are found in every na- tion under every sky. Steam, electric ity and wireless have made this very small world indeed, and travel has ended the provincialism that sees only the good inc one's own country"
 "The need of preparedness is not causing congress and the administra- ton to lose sight of other pressine ouestions," the speaker said. "A Fourth of July that does not see a government alert to give chief con- cern for the welfare of the American citizen of today and tomorrow" said | he, "would not be in keeping with its ideals set up when we established
