THOUSANDS HEAR THE PRESIDENT Declares No More Significant Memorial Could Have Been Presented to America Expresses So Much (By Associated Press.) f Hodgenville Ky.f Sept. 4. Many thousands made the pilgrimage today, Tvtr .qti in oiitnmnhiloa afnnt ttrA in I which Abraham Lincoln was born ... . . . , - The memorial was accepted for the nation by President Wilson, who in doing so spoke as follows: so many of the things that we prize most highly in our life and in our sys tem of government. How eloquent this little house W.ithin this shrine is of the vigor of democracy! There. is no where in the land any home so remote, so humble, that it may not .contain the power f anAd art apd con. science to which nations yield and his tory submits its processes. Nature pays no tribute to aristocracy, sub scribes to no creed of caste, renders fealty to no monarch or master of any name or kind. Genius is no snob. It does not run after titles or seek by preference the high circles of society. It affects humble company as well as great. v It pays no special tribute to Hio eA RnHpHo nr eonventional standards of greatness, t cut - serenely chooses its srown com- even, and its own life of adventure and of training. Here is proof of it. This little hut was the cradle of one of the great sons of men, a man of singular, delightful, vital genius who present ly emerged upon the great stage of the nation's history, gaunt, shy, ungainly, but dominant and majestic a natural ruler of men himself inevitably the central figure of the great plot. No man can explain this but every man can see how it demonstrates the vigor of democracy, where every door is open, in every hamlet and countryside, in city and wilderness alike, for the ruler to emerge when he will and claim his leadership in the free life. Such are the authentic proof of the validity and vitality of democracy. "Here, no less, hides the mystery of democracy. Who shall guess this se cret of nature and providence and a free polity? Whatever the vigor and great neart mat seemea to compre hend, all mankind in its catholic and benignant sympathy, the mind that sat enthroned behind those brooding, mel ancholy eyes, whose vision swept j many an horizon which those about him dreamed not of that mind that comprehended what it had never seen, and understood the language of affairs with the ready ease of one to the man ner born or that nature which seem ed in its varied richness to be the fa miliar of men of every way of life. This is the sacred mystery of democ racy, that its richest fruits spring up out of soils which no man has prepared and in circumstances amidst which they are the least expected. This is a place alike of mystery and of reassur ance. ,It is likely that in a society ordered otherwise than our own Lincoln could not have found himself or the path of fame and power upon which he walked serenely to his death. Int this place it is right that we should remind our selves of the solid and striking facts upen which our faith in democracy is founded. Many another man besides Lincoln has served the nation in its highest places of counsel and of ac tion whose origins were as humble as his. Though the greatest example of the universal energy, richness, stimu lation .and force of democracy, he is only one example among many. The permeating and all-pervasive virtue of the freedom which challenges us in America to make the most of every gift and power we possess every page of our history serves to emphasize and illustrate. Standing here in this place, it seems almost the whole of the stli- ring story. "Here Lincoln had his . beginnings. Here the end and consummation of that great life seem remote and a bit Incredible. And yet there - was no break anywhere between beginning and end, no lack of natural sequence anywhere. Nothing - really Incredible happened. Lincoln was - unaffectedly as much at home in the .
