NELSON,

THE SECRET OF HIS POPULARITY.

CIT.

the

What was and still is secret of the popularity of Nelson. of the affection and devotion of the people of his day and ours to him and to his memory? asks Boyd Cable, (author of British Battles of Destiny), in the Trafalgar Day Issue of the Morning Post.

So deep was that sense of rellef and of freedom from the long night. mare of dread, and so impressed was it on the minds of the nation, Tai that Trafalgar never has been, and never will be, forgotter.

But Nelson was deeply and wide- ly loved before his victory at Trafalgar. It is told that when he went to embark before it his men had to make a way by force through the press

of people, while men, women, and children knelt and ask- ed his blessing as he passed, and watched, with streaming tears, the frail, little, one-eyed, ong-armed, figure take his place in the bout.

It is safe to say it was not his fame as a successful commander, as

This of naval strategy and a genlus tactics, not even his great and annihilating victories over his enemies. Other commanders have had successes in their way as great as, or even greater than, those of Nelson, and yet their names call little or no thrill of emotion, ad- miration, or affection to any but the experts and historians.

adoration came before Trafalgar, and was something that was a living force apart from his warlike qualities and genius to vic- tory. It was something. built up from his personal, character and behaviour as it was known first to his own officers and men, and pass. ed out from them to the nation.

The human:`qualities which ac endeared him have an equal appeal to as to-day. He was simple, straightforward, and honest, in word and in deed. Ho hated his country's enemies heartily, robust-

We have to look for something more lusting then than a well- deserved fame as a genius of war if we are to find any glimmer of the reason for Nelson's enshrinement in the hearts of the nation, and I, and vigorously. He trusted his own people to the last inch; he believe we can only find that reason distrusted and despised politicians amongst those which so endeared him to his people in his own day.
