And that is why 1 so many are resentful. The process by which heroes are constructed in the race consciousness is fairly well undersood. Much study into legend and tradition oi the past has taught how kings came to be heroes and often gods, and why it is that to this day there are multitudes of human beings who re gard the emperor as divine, just as, tnc Romans of pagan days thought their emperors divine. George Washington belongs to the varrior type of hero. He partakes a little of the king type, for he was ruler as well as general. The George Washington of this day is not and c-iinnot be the George Washington of his own day. He is the product oi' national consciousness v working <>u the memory of a great man who was supremely useful to his countrymen slid their successors. The strong man, the great fighter, the winner of victories was always a notable man. The worship of such a man had its beginnings when men were primitive, and combat was the iaily life of man. The great fighter was a terror to his enemies, a tower f strength to his friends. In his In the race consciousness there is a latent picture of the great warrior, : great respect fi-r the ideal warrior, j :o a very remote time. The Washington we know is f his countrymen, llis image is j hiselled and moulded by many thou ?and minds, each striving to add I omithing to its image of the ideal sure. It boots nothing that oneel here was a real man, with the railties of a man. The true picture if Washington is the hero picture! hat has been constructed in the ".arts of Americans, the ideal that I las become a part of their nervous ??ganizations, that has a temple ir. lerve center, plexus, or brain. Those who tear down the heroes nd the gods never will be Welcome, :.r, Hughes has been branded ar, an onoclast. And ththae so v.nc mm caiodast is an idol breaker. Idols e to be broken however, until they ;:ve become unrepresentative of the eals of which they were once a atisfactory representation, an ade quate symbol. This race consciousness is superior o the individual opinion of the iomenl. It preserves what is useful ? the rr.ee; sanctifies it, makes it re erenced of man. The great war or, who saved his people in their, ou.- of peril, has always had place n racial memory, and will until war s.no more. I'cry did of In the respect that is paid to Mr. ^oolidge we see here worship propel ?d by race consciousness in its :cipiency. How differently lan.v people think and speak "ooiidge the instant he was elevated y the presidency! Some of his hero vorship is a product of the sense of avbrs to come. Part of it is part an. in origin. The party will profit f its leader is reverenced. Far .ore of it is born of the deep seated r:tinct of the race, which through irany ages, beginning with a time when individual men were far closer to the leader than now have shown reverence for and devotion to per : sons in authority over them, the patriarch ; the warrior king. When |a man is president these deep seated Toolings inherited t'r.m ancit.lt Jl? 'evdays are stirred in many souis, and the president does veritably become to these minds a new order ?>f being; one different than he was before. Mr. Hughes' views on George | Washington's human weaknesses wil: not get him favor with his country- J ir.en. They prope.-ly belong, if they are to be uttered at all, in the books which are read by students. They are not for popular consumption. It 's not the man Washington who is -landered, but a natioal hero whose deal image exists in millions of human hearts.
