PRESIDENT HONORS
L|NCOLN'S MEMORY
WILSON ACCEPTS FOR FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT LOG CABIN AT
HoDoENviLLE, Ky.
SPEECH DEVOTED TO EULOGY
Declares Civil War Chief Was Embodl-
ment Of True Democracy,-ReceiV
Gift Of Lincoln Farm Association.

Hodgenville. Ky-President Wilson
came to Kentucky to pay homage to
the memory of Lincoln and avoid poli-
tics but a great crowd gathered from
all parts OF the state. cheered him at
every appearance and turned his visit
into campaign event.
The president accepted for the
Federal government the log cabin IN
which Lincoln was born in speech
devoted to an eulogy OF the Civil War
president. Standing on a temporary
platform al the foot OF a hill topped
by a magnificent granite memorial
building housing the Lincoln cabin
he nraised Lincoln as the embodiment
Of democracy
How eloquent this little house
within this shrine is Of the vigor OF
democracy" exclaimed the president
as he spoke OF Lincoln as exemplifyins
the American spirit as showing the
heights which men OF lowly birth may
attain.
I'VE are not worthy TO stand here"
said he unless we ourselves he in
Deed and in truth roal democrats 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 nur-
lures us
"No more significant memorial could
have been presented 10 the nation than
this. 1t expresses so much OF what Is
singular and noteworthy in the his
tory OF the country, It suggests so
many OF the things that we prize most
highly in our life and In our system
OF government
I'VE would like to think OF men like
Lincoln and Washington as typical
Americans but no man can be typical
who is so unusual as these great men
were. II was typical OF American lite
that ii should produce such men with
suoreme indifference as to the manner
in which 1t produced them and as read.
Wv here in this hut as amidst the l:t-
tie circle OF cultivated gentlemen to
wh>m Virginia owed so much in lead
ershin and example. And Lincoln and
Washington were typical Americans in
'hn nse they made OF their genius But
the'e will be few such men at best.
ard we will not look into the MYSTERY
OF how and why they come We will
only keen the door open for them al
ways. and a hearty welcome-after we
have recognized them"

people to be troubled over high
water, as the levee board of the
county has plenty of money, sev.
eral miles of improvement has
been made to the present levee
system, it being built several feet
higher. The loop that was built
to the old levee has had sufficient
time to settle and there is little
use to worry over high water this
