LINCOLN'S BIRTH
PLACE ACCEPTED
FORTOE NATION
President .Wilson Receives
Gift of Stately Memorial
and Park
ANALYZES EMANCIPATOR
HODOENSVILLE, lCy., Sept. t. A little
Kentucky farm of rock-ribbed soil and
"crawfish land" became n nation's shrine
today when President Wilson accepted on
behalf of the people of the United States
the memorial parK into wnicn me mrin
place of .Abraham Lincoln has been trans
formed. Tho address of Trcsldent Wilson was de
livered to an audience of several thousand.
TUB PRESIDENT'S ADbRESS.
President Wilson drew a wonderful pic
ture of the great emancipator In his short,
carefully prepared speech, lie said:
"No more significant memorial could haro
been presented to the nation than this. It
.inrsB.ies so much of what It singular and
noteworthy In the history o.f the country1
it suggests so many or. me mings mat we
prize most highly In our life and In our
tystem of government, ltow eloquent this
little house within this shrine Is of the vigor
of democracy I There Is' nowhere In tho
land any home so remote, bo humble, that
It may not contain tho power of mind nnd
heart and conscience to which nations yield
and history submlts Its processes. Nature
pays no tribute to 'aristocracy, subscribes
to no creed of caste, renders fealty to no
monarch or master of nny namo or kind.
Genius Is no snob. It does not run nfter
titles Or seel: by preference the high circles
of society. It affects humble Company an
well as great. It pays no special tribute
to universities or learned societies or con
lentlonal standards of greatness, but
serenely chooses Its own comrades. Its own
haunts, Its own cradle oven, nild Its own
life of adventure nnd of training. Here Is
proof of It. This little hut was the cradle
of one of tho great sons of men. n man of
singular, delightful, vital genius who pres
ently emerged upon the great stage of tho
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
tho vigor of democracy, where ovory door
Is open, In overy hamlet nnd countryside,
In city and wilderness alike, for the ruler
to emerge when ho wilt and claim his lead
ership In the free. life. Such nro the au
thentic proofs of tho validity and vitality
f democracy. v
MYSTERY OB DEMOCRACY.
"Here, no less, hides the mystery of
democracy. Who shall guess this secret
of nature and providence nnd a free polity?
Whatever tho vigor and Vitality of the
stock from which he sprang. Its mere vigor
and soundness do not explain where1 this
man got his great heart that seemed to
comprehend nil mankind in Its catholic nnd
benignant sympnthy, tho mind that sat en
throned behind those brooding, melancholy
eyes, whose vision swept many an horizon
which those nbout 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 tho
manner bo.rn or that nntifre which seemed
In Its varied richness to be the familiar of
men of every way of life. Thl li the
sacred mystery of democracy, that Its rich
est 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 nnd of re
assurance. "Hero Lincoln had his beginning. Here
the end and consummation of that great life
seem remoto and a bit Incredible. And yet
there was no break nnywhero between be
ginning and end, no lack of natural se
quence anywhere. Nothing really Incred
ible happened. Lincoln was unaffectedly
as much at homo In the WJilte House as
he was here. Bo jqu share with me the
feeling, I wonder, that he was permanently
at home nowhere? It seems to me that In
the case of a man I would rather Bay of
a. spirit like Lincoln the question toftcre he
was Is of little significance, that It Is al
ways what he was that realty arrests our
thought and takes hold of our Imagination.
UNUSUAL. NOT TYPICAL.
"We would like to think of men like
Lincoln and Washington as typical Ameri
cans, but no man can be typical who is so
unusual as these great men were. It was
typical of American life that it should pro
duce such men with' supreme lndlfferer.ee,
as to the manner In which it produced them,
and as readily here In this hut as amidst
the little circle of cultivated gentlemen to
whom Virginia owed so much In leadership
and example. And Lincoln and Washing
ton were typical Americans In the use they
maae or weir genius, nut there will be
few such men at best, nnd we will not look
Into the mystery of how and why they
come. We will only keep the door open
for them always, nnda hearty welcome
after we have recognized them.
That brooding spirit had no real fa
miliars. I get the Impression that It never
spoke out In complete self-revelation, and
that it could not reveal Itself completely
to any one. It was a very lonely Bplrlt
that looked out from underneath those
ehtaggy brows and comprehended men with
'out fully communing with them, ns If,. In
spite of nil Its genial efforts at comrade
ship. It dwelt apart, saw Its visions of duty
where no man looked on. There Is a very
holy and very terrible Isolation for the
conscience of eyery man who seeks to read
the destiny In affairs for others as well as
for himself, for a nation as well as for in
dividuals. That privacy no man can In
trude upon. That lonely search of the
spirit for the right perhaps no man can
assist This strange child of the cabin
kept company with Invisible things, was
born Into no Intimacy but that of Its own
silently assembling and deploying thoughts.
NO NEED QP EULOGY
And the hopes of mankind cannot be kept
alive by words merely, by constitutions
and doctrines of right and codes of liberty.
The, object of democracy Is to transmute
these Into the life and action of Boclety,
the self-denial and self-sacrifice of heroic
men and women willing to make their
lives an embodiment of- right and service
and enlightened purpose. The commands
of the democracy are as Imperative as its
privileges and opportuntles are wide and
generous. Its compulsion Is upon us. It
will be great and lift a great light for the
guidance of the nations only If we are
i great and carry that light high for the
guidance of our own feet. We are not
worthy to stand here, unless we ourselves
be In deed and in truth real democrats
and servants of mankind, ready to give
our very lives for the freedom and Justice
and spiritual exaltation qf the great na-
L tlon which shelters and nurtures us."

BACH MUSIC FEATURE
OF ORCHESTRA SEASON
Three Extra Performances of
"Passion" 25 Dcublc Con
certs in Regular Series
The seventeenth season of the Philadel
phia Orchestra, tho fifth under the con
duotorslilp of Leopold Stokowsltl, will sup
plement tho 25 pairs of concerts In tho reg
ular scries with three performances of the
"St. Matthew Passion Music," by John
Sebastian Bach. This mastorwork of the
contrnpuntal school and of sacred music
has never been performed In tills city with
completes modern orchestra and adequato
chorus. The nearest to satisfactory pro
duction Philadelphia has come has been in
the occasional performances nt the I3nch
Festivals In Bethlehem. Tho work Is seldom
nttempted nnywhero on account of Us enor
mously Intricate technical demands nnd Its
profound spiritual significance. Perform
ances of tho Dach "Passion" nro events of
annual Importance In the great nrt centers
of Kurope, and It Is Mr. Stokowskl's aim
to make this great work, each season, nn
Important feature In tho city's musical life.
Tho selection of the great Bach work
follows the precedent set last season of
performing nn unusual and mammoth
work. On that occasion tho Mahler Sym
phony was given. The Bach will be given
March 23, 30 and 31, In the week preceding
Holy Week, and the last two performances
will be the final concerts of the regular
reason. There will bo distinguished soloists,
tho orchestra In full, tho Philadelphia Or
chestra Chorus, developed from tho choruses
uied In tho Mahler Eighth Symphony, and
