There are many among the great
number of Americans of light and
leading who have expressed disap
pioval of Rupert Hughes, the author,*
because he goes 'about picturing the
weaknesses and defects which Ge
crge" Washington had in common
with others of his day. Some say
that Mr. Hughes might be in. better
i business. So he might. Others note

Warning!!
It has come to the attention of the Bre
vard Klan that some persons have been
writing letters of a threatening manner to
different parties and signing them K K EC.
We want all concerned to know that this
is a violation of the U. S. Postal Laws,
and is a dangerous practice.
All letters written by the Klan is on offi
cial stationery and under seal of the Or
der, therefore easily distinguished from
the forged ones. We advise anyone re
ceiving a forged letter to mail same im
mediately to the Brevard Klan with full
particulars, and a thorough investigation
will follow.
Yours for a better Country by co-operat

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

a latent picture of the great warrior,

:o a very remote time.

This race consciousness is superior
o the individual opinion of the
iomenl. It preserves what is useful

In the respect that is paid to Mr.
^oolidge we see here worship propel
?d by race consciousness in its

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?

Washington's human weaknesses wil:

are to be uttered at all, in the books
which are read by students. They
are not for popular consumption. It
