BIOGRAPHIES OF GENERAL OFFICERS.

MOSES GREELEY PARKER, M. D.,
President General.

Moses Greeley Parker, M. D., elected President General at the Louis-
ville Congress, was born in Dracut, Mass., October 12, 1842, the son of
Theodore and Hannah (Greeley) Parker. He inherited from both
branches of his family ancestry of the best old New England stock.
Deacon Thomas Parker, upon one side, carhe to this country in 1635 ;
Andrew Greeley, on the other, settled in Salisbury about five years
later. In the list of descendants from these two men are such well-
known names as Theodore Parker, the great preacher and reformer,
and Horace Greeley, the famous editor.

Dr. Parker's great-grandfathers, Kendall Parker and Joseph Greeley,
were two of the Minute Men who tramped to Lexington on the early
morning of April 19, 1775 ; his grandfather, Peter Parker, served in the
Continental Army.

Dr. Parker was educated in the district schools of his native town,
at the Howe School, in Billerica, and at Phillips Academy, in Andover.
He taught in the district schools of New Hampshire for three years,
and then pursued medical studies at the Long Island College Hospital
Medical School, in Brooklyn, N. Y., and at the Harvard Medical
School. He was graduated from the latter in 1864 with the degree of
M. D. In the Civil War he was assistant surgeon, serving in the field
and hospital. August 9, 1864, he was assigned to the i8th Army Corps
Base Hospital, where he had charge of the ist Division, and as officer
of the day he had the honor of receiving President Lincoln, General
Grant, and others. He was honorably discharged from the service
May 24, 1865.

Settling down to the practice of medicine at Lowell, he soon stood
in the front rank of the medical profession in Middlesex County. He
has always served upon the medical staff of St. John's Hospital, but
after a time desired to specialize in certain branches of his profession,
and, closing his office, spent the years 1873-1874 studying in London,
Paris, Florence, Rome, and Vienna. Returning once more to Lowell,
he opened a free dispensary and gave his expert services to the poorer
classes of the city, although his private practice very soon assumed large
proportions.

In 1876 he was elected president of the Lowell Medical Journal Soci-
ety and a member of the International Congress of Ophthalmologj, at
New York. He invented a thermo-cautery that year and not long
afterward patented an improvement in the process of producing and
maintaining a high degree of heat by hydro-carbon. He became a
member of the American Medical Association and received from the
Massachusetts Charitable Mechanics' Association a diploma for an
incandescent cautery.

It was during this period that the doctor became interested in the
practical uses of photography. He was the first to photograph the
tubercular bacillus from Dr. E. W. Cushing's microscopical specimens,
making lantern slides which were shown by the latter before various
medical societies ; and in 1886 he was the first to show, by photography,
the rotary motion in the fire of lightning. In the year following he
was a member of the International Medical Congress, and in 1898-1899
he served as president of the Middlesex North District Medical Society.

Dr. Parker's early interest in electricity naturally made him one of
the interested audience that gathered in 1878 when Prof. Alexander
Graham Bell first exhibited his great telephonic invention in Lowell.
He was quick to appreciate its importance and estimate its possibilities,
and in the following year was made a director in several licensed com-
panies, which with his assistance were, in 1883, combined into the great
telephone organization of today, the New England Telephone Company.
From that day until the present time he has served as a director and
member of the executive committee, and has taken a personal and im-
portant part in the successful management of that corporation.

Dr. Parker has served as treasurer of the Shaw Stocking Company ;
director of the Aroostook Tel. Co., the Knox Tel. Co., the Granville
Tel. Co.; trustee of the Lowell General Hospital since 1898; physician
at the i\Iinistry-at-Large for 10 years; president and treasurer of the
Ayer Home ; president of the Lowell Day Nursery Association ; trustee
of the Howe School, in Billerica; delegate to the National Arbitration
and Peace Congress in 1907; member of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science ; Vice-President General and member of
the Executive Committee of the National Society, Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution ; twice President of the Massachusetts Sons of the
American Revolution ; president of the Parker Historical and Genea-
logical Association ; member of the Loyal Legion, the Bostonian Soci-
ety, the Bunker Hill Monument Association, the Society of Colonial
Wars, the Order of Colonial Governors, the Lincoln Farm Association,
the National Geographic Society, the Boston Chamber of Commerce,
Ancient York Lodge, A. F. and A. iM.

ety on January 12, 1899, as great-grandson of Thomas Butler, who
served as private in Capt. John Patterson's Company of the Second
Pennsylvania Regiment, commanded by Col. Walter Stewart, in 1779.

County, Pennsylvania, and Col. Samuel Miles, of the Pennsylvania
Rifle Regiment.

Mr. Butler was educated in the public schools of Niles, Ohio, and
has been engaged in the iron and steel business for half a century. He
became a resident of Youngstown, Ohio, in 1863. He has taken an
active interest in the work of the Sons of the American Revolution,
particularly in the encouragement of historical study by pupils of the
public schools and colleges in Ohio.

He was instrumental in organizing the Nathan Hale Chapter at
Youngstown, and served three years as its President. On April 19,
1910, he was elected Pregident of the Ohio Society.

He is at present particularly interested in the preservation of the
ancestral home of the family of George Washington at Sulgrave,
England.

GENERAL IRVING HALE,

Vice-President General.

Irving Hale is a great-great-grandson of Col. John Hale, who was
a surgeon on the staff of Colonel Prescott, and, with his son David,
served at the battle of Bunker Hill.

He was born at North Bloomfield, New York, August 28, 1861, and
came to Colorado with his parents with wagon and team across the
plains in 1865. His father, Horace M. Hale, was President of the
University of Colorado from 1887 to 1892 and one of the most dis-
tinguished educators and men of letters of the West. Irving Hale
graduated from the Denver high school with the highest honors of his
class in 1877.

He graduated from the U. S. Military Academy June 14, 1884, with
the highest record in scholarship to this date — 2,070.4 out of a possible
2,075 points. He served in the corps of engineers, 1884-1890, and in
1888-1889 as instructor in engineering at West Point.

On June 14, 1887, he married Miss Mary Virginia King, daughter of
Lieut. Col. W. R. King, U. S. Engineers.

In 1889 he obtained leave of absence and superintended the construc-
tion of the first successful electric railway in Denver. In 1890 he re-
signed from the Army, and since 1893 has been manager of the Rocky
Mountain district of the General Electric Company.

At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War he was appointed
Colonel of the First Colorado Infantry, U. S. Volunteers. For gal-
lantry and valuable engineering service in the campaign against and
the capture of Manila, August 13, 1898, he was promoted to Brigadier
General, U. S. Volunteers. General Hale commanded the Second
Brigade, Second Division, Eighth Army Corps, in the Philippine Insur-
rection, participating in twenty-eight engagements, in one of which he
was slightly wounded. He was recommended by General Arthur to be
Major General by brevet, U. S. Volunteers, for distinguished gallantry
throughout the campaign, and especially at Calumpit. On the muster-
out of the volunteers, he returned with his old regiment to Colorado,.

and was honorably discharged from the volunteer service October i,
1899.

In 1897 he became a member of the Colorado Society of the Sons of
the American Revolution, and for three years vi^as its President and
for several years a Vice-President.

General Hale is a member of many distinguished societies and clubs,
and was honored with the degree of Electrical Engineer from the Colo-
rado School of Mines and LL.D. from the University of Colorado. He
is not only an accomplished and versatile writer on subjects of his
profession in scientific and military circles, but a conspicuous figure in
every movement to advance and upbuild the interests of the great West.

1 , R. C. BALLARD THRUSTON,

' Vice-President General.

R. C. Ballard Thruston, elected Vice-President General at the To-
ledo Congress and re-elected at the Louisville Congress, was born in
Louisville, Ky., November 6, 1858; son of Andrew Jackson Ballard and
his wife, Frances Ann Thruston, of that city. He occupies the unique
position of being descended from those who fought on both sides in
the Revolutionary War, one of his ancestors being an officer (not a
Tory) in the British Army, stationed at Fort Pitt at the time of his
marriage, and after the war was over he returned to England, where
he died upon his estate. Six other ancestors fought in the Revolution-
ary War on the side of the Colonists, one of whom, at the age of
eleven years and seven months, fought in his father's command in the
battle of Perth Amboy, N. J.

He graduated at the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University
with the class of 1880, and after a post-graduate course of one year,
first engaged in business in Louisville, but soon abandoned that life for
one of scientific pursuits. In 1882 accepted a position on the Kentucky
Geological Survey as Metallurgist and Assistant Geologist. Resigned
in 1887 to engage in private work. In 1889 accepted a position as
superintendent of the Land Bureau of the Kentucky Union Land Com-
pany. In 1895 became manager of the Big Stone Gap Iron Co. Nearly
all of his time since 1882 has been devoted to geology, mine engineer-
ing, and metallurgy, especially that of fuels.

At his mother's request, in 1885 added her name of Thruston to that
which he had previously borne.

He is a member of the American Association for the Advancement
of Science; American Forestry Association; local historical, scientific,
and social societies, and at present Governor of the Society of the
Colonial Wars in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Became a member
of the Kentucky Society of the Sons of the American Revolution Janu-
ary 17, 1890, and has always taken a great interest in historical, patri-
otic, and philanthropic subjects.

PROCEEDINGS OF TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL CONGRESS

THE NATIONAL SOCIETY OF THE SONS OF THE
AMERICAN REVOLUTION,

HELD AT LOUISVILLE. KENTUCKY. MAY 1. 2. AND 3. 1911.

The Congress was called to order in regular session, at 10.15 a. m.,
in the assembly hall of the Louisville Free Public Library, at Fourth
and York streets, Louisville, by the President General, William Allen
Marble, of New York city.

The President General: Delegates to the Twenty-second Annual
Congress of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revo-
lution will please come to order. I have received a telegram from our
Chaplain General, the Rev. John Timothy Stone, of Chicago, stating
that, owing to an unexpected delay of his train, he will not be here at
the opening exercises ; and we shall therefore have the pleasure of
listening to the Chaplain of the Kentucky Society, the Rev. Dr. Charles
Ewell Craik, who will now ask a blessing.

Doctor Craik thereupon led the Congress in repeating the Lord's
Prayer, and invoked the divine blessing on the Congress and the work
of the Society.

The President General : The first order of business will be the re-
port of the Committee on Credentials. The members of the committee
present are Teunis D. Huntting, of New York, Chairman ; Dr. Waldo
E. Boardman, of Massachusetts, and Mr. George W. Hyde, of Mary-
land. Is the Chairman of the Credentials Committee present? I
understand the committee is detained for a little while, but will be
here presently. If it is the pleasure of the Congress, we will defer that
report to a later hour.

Compatriots, it was the intention of the Mayor of the city of Louis-
ville to be present in person and extend a welcome to the National
Society, but he has been unavoidably detained, and I have the pleasure
of presenting to you Mr. George Lewis Danforth, President of the
Kentucky Society, who will extend a welcome in the name of that
Society. (Applause.)

Mr. Danforth : Mr. President and delegates to the Twenty-second
Congress, it was hoped that the Governor of Kentucky would be here
to welcome you on this auspicious occasion, and also that the Mayor
of Louisville would be present. Both had promised, and both desired
to be here ; but the Governor was called out of the State, and the

(59)

6o SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Mayor, at the last moment, was called to another part of the city and
cannot be with us. And so upon me devolves the very pleasant task
of welcoming you, first, in the name of the Governor, who represents
Kentucky and all its citizens ; secondly, in the name of the Mayor, who
represents the city of Louisville and its citizens, and last but not least,
in the name of the Kentucky Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution. (Applause.) I am sure that if these two gentlemen were
here they would say just what I want to say: that if there is anything
you see that you want, take it! (Applause and laughter.) If there is
anything you want that you don't see, ask for it (laughter), and if it
is not forthcoming immediately, let us know. (Laughter.)

Compatriots, I give you a hearty Kentucky welcome. (Great ap-
plause.)

The President General: Mr. President Danforth, on behalf of the
National Society I extend to you our most hearty thanks for this most
cordial welcome. We understood before we came to Louisville that
everything would be at our service, and we have already realized that,
and more. Since we have reached here, we feel that the half had not
been told us. (Applause and laughter.)

The next order of business, according to the By-Laws, is the report
of your President General on the work done during the past year. I
have made this report rather brief, and the detail work done by the
various committees will be reported by the chairmen.

ANNUAL ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT GENERAL.

Compatriots : In accordance with our By-Laws it is the duty of the
President General to present to you at this time a synopsis of the work
performed during the year by the national officers, and also to make
suggestions on the condition and needs of the Society.

At the outset I wish to extend to the officers and members of the
various State Societies my sincere thanks for the hearty co-operation
which they have shown during the past year in matters to which I have
at various times called their attention and asked their support. There
have been three meetings of the Executive Committee during the year,
at which practically every member was present. The first was held in
Toledo, immediately after the close of the Congress, at which time the
usual appropriations were made to cover the general expenses, and it
was ordered that the Official Bulletin should be issued during the
year on the same plan as during the previous year, and a copy of each
issue mailed to every member of the Society. It was also decided to
eliminate from the Year Book the speeches made at the banquet, and
thus reduce the cost of the Year Book to quite a considerable extent.

Soon after the adjournment of Congress a request was received from
the Washington Memorial Association for the privilege of sending to
every member of our organization a request for contributions toward
the building of the memorial. I did not consider the matter of serious
importance enough to call the Executive Committee together, but in-

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 6l

stead wrote each one of the members, stating what the request was and
asking them to advise me by mail as to their views regarding it. To
these letters I received affirmative replies, and, acting on the advice
thus obtained, directed the Secretary General to authorize the Wash-
ington Memorial Association to send out the literature as suggested,
the same to be done at no expense to our Society.

The second meeting of the Executive Committee was held in New
York city on November 19, 1910. At that time a resolution was adopted
to the effect that every effort should be made by the National Society
to secure from Congress an appropriation to complete the crypt in the
chapel at Annapolis, in which was to be placed the body of John Paul
Jones. In carrying out this resolution two bills were prepared and
presented to Congress, the one to the Senate being presented by Sena-
tor Rayner, of Maryland, and the one for the House by Compatriot
General Loud, of Michigan. As soon as these bills were referred to
the proper committees we obtained the list of the members of the two
committees and their residences, and a letter was addressed to the
President of each State Society in which resided a member of the
committees referred to, with the request that every effort be made to
induce these members of the committees to report the bills favorably.
This suggestion was actively taken up by the Presidents of the various
State Societies, and great pressure was thus brought to bear upon the
members of the two committees.

In this connection I would refer to the fact that through the courtesy
of Vice-President Dewey, of Vermont, a joint resolution was passed
by the two branches of the Vermont legislature demanding that their
representatives in Congress make every effort within their power to see
that the bills above referred to were passed. This joint resolution was
signed by the Governor, who is also a member of our Society, and it
had a wide influence in producing the results which we were so anxious
to obtain. The Naval Committee of the Senate promptly reported out
the bill, and it was passed without a dissenting voice. The bill in the
House, however, met with serious delays and failed to be reported out,
but an amendment was made appropriating the sum of $75,000 instead
of the $135,000 aske'd for. This was reported to the House just before
the close of the last session of Congress, and, as the Senate bill called
for $135,000, a conference between the Senate and House committees
was necessary ; and it was only after the most strenuous effort on the
part of Compatriot Loud that such a conference was arranged and an
agreement made between the two bodies appropriating the $75,000, and
this was accomplished late at night, only a few hours before the final
adjournment of Congress. The appropriation bill has since received
the signature of the President, and there is nothing now to prevent the
accomplishment of the work so earnestly desired by our organization;
i. c, that the casket containing the body of John Paul Jones, which has
so long been exposed to public view, shall within a few months be
placed in its final resting place.

In view of the vast amount of work done by Compatriot Loud, of

62 SONS QF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Michigan, Member of Congress from that State, and the indefatigable
energy which he displayed in carrying to a successful termination this
matter, so dear to the heart of every Son of the American Revolution,
I would suggest that a set of resolutions be prepared by a committee
during this Congress showing the appreciation of the National organi-
zation for what Compatriot Loud has accomplished. Rear Admiral
Baird, the President of the District of Columbia Society, S. A. R., also
did yeoman service, and it is also owing to his strenuous efforts that
the statue of John Paul Jones, which is to be placed in one of the
public parks in Washington, was not placed in juxtaposition to a statue
of Commander John Barry, it having been suggested by some of the
influences in Washington that these two statues should be placed near
each other; but a final appeal to the Art Commission having in charge
the public grounds of Washington resulted in having the statue of
Jones placed independently to that of Barry, as we feel it was justly
entitled to be. Admiral Baird, for the Jefferson Memorial Committee,
advises that the bill appropriating $100,000 for a statue of Thomas
Jefferson, to be erected in Washington, was offered in the Senate by
Senator Bacon on April 11, who on the thirteenth (being the anniversary
of the birth of Thomas Jefferson) obtained the unanimous consent of
the Senate to call the bill up without reference to a committee, and it
was passed unanimously. Further details regarding the work of this
committee will be found in their report.

I take great pleasure in reporting that during the year five new State
Societies have been organized : one each in North and South Carolina,
North and South Dakota, and the Philippine Islands. The formation
of the State Societies of North and South Carolina is the result of the
strenuous efforts of Commander Moore, Chairman of our Committee
of Organization in the South. He began this work under some of my
predecessors, and met with great discouragement ; but finally, in Febru-
ary last, through the aid of some of the members of the Daughters of
the American Revolution in those two States, the requisite number of
members was obtained and the Societies formed. The work done by
the Committee on Organization in the West, of which Compatriot
Guyer is chairman, als'o calls for special mention. The Society in
South Dakota, which had been organized some years ago, had passed
into innocuous desuetude with no hope of resuscitation ; but Com-
patriot Guyer, ably assisted by Compatriots Tuttle and Keezer, suc-
ceeded in organizing a new Society in that State, as well as one in
North Dakota, and these three compatriots have justly earned the title
of "the dauntless three."

During the year I have had the pleasure of being the guest at the
annual meetings of the State Societies of Vermont, District of Colum-
bia, New Jersey, New York, Illinois, Michigan, and Indiana. I had
also arranged to be the guest of the Ohio Society, but at the last
moment was detained by illness. Each of the various State Societies
visited showed great enthusiasm in the work of the organization, and
I am indebted to them for many courtesies.

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 63

I have also attended as your representative the unveiling of the
statue of the Minute Man at Compo Beach, which was erected by the
•Connecticut State Society in commemoration of the battle fought at
that point during the Revolution ; also the celebration attending the
placing of a new flagstaff and flag on the battle-ground at Springfield,
N. J., under the auspices of the New Jersey State Society. It has been
a matter of great regret to me that I could not accept the invitations
of more of the State Societies to be their guest at some of their func-
tions, but as so many of them hold these functions on the same date,
it was utterly impossible to accept all the invitations, which I would
have gladly done had it iK)t been for previous engagements.

My predecessor in his annual report made special reference to the
successful chapter which had been organized in Montclair, N. J., by
•Compatriot George C. Sterling. It was my pleasure to attend a meet-
ing of that chapter, and I can simply re-echo what my predecessor said
in connection with the work being done in that locality.

Each succeeding year brings its long list of those of our loved com-
patriots who have passed into the great beyond, and this year is no
exception. They number more than 200; and while many of these
have not been known as among the active workers, yet by their efforts
as silent workers they had done much to enhance the work of their
local Societies, and I regret that time and space will not allow me to
call them by name. I cannot, however, let this opportunity pass with-
out speaking of our late compatriot, Theodore H. Eaton, of the Michi-
gan Society, who died November 6, 1910, and who for several years
had been a member of the National organization, and whose genial
presence and earnest endeavors for the success of our Society made
him a welcome guest at so many of our congresses, and in his death
not only the Michigan Society, but the National Society as well, has
suffered an irreparable loss.

The work done by the various standing committees will be presented
to you in their reports, which will come later in our session, and I
would call your especial attention to these reports when read.

The cordial relations existing between ours and the sister society, the
Daughters of the 'American Revolution, during the past years have
continued, and in several cases the latter have joined in the celebrations
undertaken by the Sons. As your President General I was invited by
the President General of the Daughters to make an address at the
opening of the recent session of their congress, and also to be the
•guest of honor at their reception which was to follow. Owing to my
unfortunate physical condition, however, I was unable to be present,
but sent a copy of an address which I had prepared for the occasion,
and which was very flatteringly received.

I am very glad to be able to report that the permanent fund of the
National Society, which was established one year ago at the suggestion
of the District of Columbia Society, now amounts to $2,391.50, of which
$2,111.00 was the subscriptions made to the fund at the Congress, and
$280.50 the rebates on rosettes, etc., purchased during the year. The

64 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOEUTION.

Finance Committee has purchased two New York city four per cent
bonds at a cost of $1,987.50, and they are deposited in a safe-deposit
box in New York city, which can be opened only in the presence of
two members of the Finance Committee. The balance of the fund is
deposited in the Broadway Savings Bank, of New York city, which
pays four per cent interest, and I wish to congratulate the Society upon-
the prompt manner in which this fund has been accumulated.

In concluding this brief report, which I heartily regret does not con-
tain a record of more and better things done by your President General,.
I wish to extend my personal thanks to my associate officers and the
members of the Executive Committee for the cordial support which'
they have given me during my administration, and while I shall at the
close of this Congress lay aside the great honor which you conferred'
upon me a j^ear ago, I shall always retain the pleasantest memories of
what to me has been one of the happiest years of my life and which
has brought honors far beyond my fondest hopes, and in returning to
the ranks I shall be more ready than ever to work shoulder to shoulder
with those who have at heart the interests of the Sons of the American
Revolution.

(The reading of the President's address was received with hearty-
manifestations of approval.)

The President General : Is the Committee on Credentials ready to-
report now? I see the chairman, Mr. Huntting, has arrived.

Mr. Huntting: Mr. President General, the Committee on Creden-
tials begs to report that up to this time we have 127 delegates present,,
including 10 general officers. (Reads the list by States.)

(Moved and seconded that the report of the committee as far as
made be accepted and the committee continued, with power to add to-
the roll such delegates as may come in later. Motion carried.)

REPORT OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE.

The Board of Trustees elected at the twenty-first Congress held its
first meeting on Tuesday afternoon, May 3, at the Hotel Secor, Toledo.
The nominations by the President General for members of the Execu-
tive Committee were approved by the board. The President General,
the Treasurer General, and ex-President General Pugsley were ap-
pointed a committee to have charge of the investment of the Permanent
Fund. It was voted to accept with thanks an invitation from the Ken-
tucky Society to hold the Congress of 191 1 at Louisville. Appropria-
tions were made for expenses of the office of Secretary General and
Registrar General ; for the publication of the Official Bulletin and
the National Year Book ; for expenses of the Committees on Educa-
tion, and on Information for Aliens ; and the usual amount was allotted
toward the expenses of the twenty-second annual Congress. Various
matters of the Society were discussed and action thereon referred to
the Executive Committee.

On May 4, 19 10, the newly appointed Executive Committee met at
the Hotel Secor, Toledo, and acted on various matters referred to it
by the Congress and by the Trustees, including recommendations con-
cerning advance work, and the locating and marking of the graves &f
Signers of the Declaration of Independence and of other prominent
patriots of the Revolutionary period.

There was also considered the more uniform regulation of local
Chapters under the State Societies and the advantages of increasing
the number of these Chapters.

The increase and investment of the newly established Permanent
Fund was discussed. The President General was given full authority
in the appointment of the standing and special committees.

The next meeting of the Executive Committee was held at Bretton
Hall. New York, on November 19, 1910, all the members of the com-
mittee being present; also the Treasurer General and the Secretary
General. The Treasurer General reported the condition of the Perma-
nent Fund and the investment of part of the sum in a four per cent
bond, and it was arranged that the temporarily uninvested portion of
the fund be kept in a savings bank in a special account.

The President General reported on the condition of several State
Societies he had visited, and upon his suggestion a resolution was
adopted calling upon the State Secretaries to urge the government to
complete the John Paul Jones crypt at Annapolis. Reports were re-
ceived from the Societies in New York, New Jersey, and Maryland,
showing progress made toward the marking of graves of the Signers
in those States.

A charter was authorized for the Philippine Society when the requi-
site number of eligible applicants shall have filed their papers. Reports
were received showing progress in the formation of new Societies in
the West and South.

68 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Reports were also received and considered concerning the work of
the Committee on Information for Aliens, the Flag Committee, and the
Committee on Naval Records. A committee of one was authorized to
take necessary action in regard to the wearing of the Societ3''s insignia
in France.

The President General was authorized to appoint a National Com-
mittee on Arrangements for the Louisville Congress.

Various other matters of routine business were acted on as recorded
in the proceedings published in the December Official Bulletin.

The last meeting of the Executive Committee was held at the Seel-
bach Hotel, Louisville, April 30, 1911.

The Board of Trustees met on Maj- i, 1911, at the Seelbach Hotel,
Louisville.

( Moved and seconded that the report as read be received, approved,
and placed on file, and that the various matters referred to and recom-
mended therein be taken up for discussion later during the Congress.
Carried.)

The President General : The next business in order is the report
of the Treasurer General, Mr. Burroughs.

The Treasurer General : Delegates to the National Congress, your
President General has already spoken to you of the Permanent Fund,
but there is an additional reference to it that I would like to make.
President Dewey, of the Vermont Society, informs me that his Society
now contributes $50 towards that fund. (Applause.) This is in addi-
tion to the subscription of last year. I hope that his example and that
of the Vermont Society may be followed by such Societies as have not
heretofore contributed to this fund, and I am sure your President
General will be ready to hear a response from any Society that may
wish to contribute to the Permanent Fund.

REPORT OF THE TREASURER GENERAL.

PRESENTATION OF STAR-SPANGLED BANNER.

Mr. R. C. B. Thruston, of Kentucky : 'Sir. President General, maj- I
ask that the regular order be dispensed with for a moment? We have
a matter that we wish to bring before the Congress at this time.

The President General : Compatriots, you have heard the request
coming from the Kentuck}- Society that we dispense with the regular
order of business for a few moments. What is your pleasure?

(On motion, unanimous consent is given.)

Thereupon Mr. Thruston and others escorted to the platform, amid
the applause of the delegates, Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, of Ken-
tucky.

Mr. Danforth, of Kentucky : Compatriots, I do not believe it is
necessary to introduce to any Kentuckian this old soldier of many wars,
but I want the honor of introducing to the delegates from the country
at large Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, of this State, who has fought in
all the wars I ever heard of in this country! (Applause.)

General Buckner : Mr. President General, it is a pleasant duty that
devolves upon me. sir, this morning. It is the custom of all nations to
appoint some significant emblem which will serve to distinguish their
nationality from that of all other peoples. The Muscovite has his bear,
the Prussian his double eagle, the Frenchman his tricolor, the Turk his
crescent moon. The conquering legions of Rome, following the tri-
umphant flights of their eagle, overran and subdued to their sway most
of the nations of antiquity. We, too. sir, have our American eagle. As
described by a patriotic scion of Revolutionary ancestrj-, this noble bird
stands with one talon resting on the summit of the x\lleghanies, the
other grasping the loftiest peaks of the Rocky Mountains. He waves
one wing over the storm-swept Atlantic, the other over the placid waters
of the broad Pacific Ocean. He dips his beak in the frozen lakes of
the north, while his tail feathers flutter over the torrid waters of the
Gulf of ]\Iexico. (Applause.) It is the efiigy of this remarkable bird
that sits perched upon the standard that bears aloft our national colors,
which were selected as an appropriate emblem by our Revolutionary
sires.

At the close of the War of Independence each of the thirteen Colo-
nies was recognized by Great Britain as a free and independent sover-
eignty. But these several States, instead of pursuing each its separate
way amongst the nations of the earth, thought it proper to merge their
own individuality into one greater nationality, choosing for their em-
blem— and very appropriately — a flag "with thirteen stripes, alternately
red and white, with thirteen stars on an azure field, thus creating, as has
been said, a new constellation in the firmament of nations. (Applause.)

But as the heavenly bodies, in their ceaseless journey through space,
attract to themselves new particles of matter, so in our own progress
amongst the nations of the world we have gathered about us new mate-
rials out of which to form new commonwealths to be added to this
constellation. When, therefore, in this process of accretion, we added.

GENERAL BUCKNER PRESENTING THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 75

in 1792, Vermont and Kentucky to our Union, the flag was changed to
accord with these modified conditions by adding two stripes and two
stars to the flag already designed. This continued to be our national
flag until 1818, when the present law was enacted, by which the stripes
were reduced to thirteen — typical of the thirteen original States — while
for each new State admitted to the Union a new star glittered in the
constellation. (Applause.) But it was the flag of fifteen stars and
fifteen stripes that waved over our battalions during our last conflict
with Great Britain. It was under this flag that we captured at New
Orleans the inspiring air which still cheers our soldiers when they
break up their camps — "The Girl I Left Behind Me !" (Laughter and
applause.) It was this flag that floated over the ramparts of Fort
McHenry during that "perilous fight" — the banner that "so proudly was
hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming." (Applause.) This was the flag
that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the words of our National
Anthem. This identical flag is now preserved in the Smithsonian Insti-
tution, in Washington city.

Now an exact copy of that flag has been caused to be made by our
patriotic comrade, Mr. Ballard Thruston (applause), and it is my
privilege today to present, in the name of the Kentucky Society, this
flag, thus provided by our compatriots, to the National Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution. (Great applause, which is long-
continued as the flag is waved before the Congress by President Dan-
forth, of the Kentucky Society.) And as it waves over the descendants,
of those who designed it, let it be greeted by the martial strains of the
air which it inspired, "The Star-Spangled Banner."

"And long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."

(Great and prolonged applause greeted the conclusion of General"
Buckner's remarks in presenting the flag, and in the midst of it, with
patriotic fervor running at full tide, Miss Florence M. Bertelle, of
Louisville, came forward in front of the President General's stand and
began to sing, with, the clear notes of her beautiful and cultivated
soprano voice, the soul-stirring strains of "The Star-Spangled Banner,"
which were instantly taken up by the convention as one man and carried
to conclusion with great enthusiasm and spirit. It was the climax to a
highly dramatic scene, as the venerable hero of many wars, typical
soldier as he was with his martial bearing, stood beside the flag of his
country, so rich in suggestion of her glorious history, while the lines
of the inspired and matchless anthem were sung with patriotic fire.)

The President General : General Buckner, the series of pleasant
surprises which have come to us since we arrived in Louisville has now
been capped by the presentation of this flag from the Kentucky Society,
and it is doubly dear to us coming from your hands as a man who has
fought under the two flags. (Applause.) And if, as some believe, the
spirits of those who have gone before still hover round us, shall we -

yd SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

not say to the spirit of Francis Scott Key, in answer to his question,
"Does the star-spangled banner still wave?" "Yes; not the flag as you
knew it, with but fifteen stars in its blue field, as it floated over Fort
McHenry, when you wrote those beautiful lines, but a flag with forty-
eight stars that floats over a nation wide, extending from ocean to
ocean; yes, and to the isles of the sea." (xA.pplause.)

It has been well said. General Buckner, that the sun never sets on
Old Glory, for when the last rays of the setting sun are kissing its
drooping folds good-night in the Philippines, the first rays of the morn-
ing sun are gilding its flowing folds in Porto Rico.

In accepting this flag on behalf of the National Society well may
we say :

Where'er an American is today.

On land or on the sea.
Whether at home or far away —

A priest or layman he —
Let patriotism have full sway ;

All other thoughts dissever.
I pledge this toast that, come what may —
The Stars and Stripes forever !

General BuckneR : Mr. President General, permit me a slight digres-
sion, as you have alluded to this flag. It was my privilege sixty-three
years ago, after we had occupied the City of Mexico, to lead a party of
officers to the summit of Mount Popocatapetl, 18,000 feet above the sea.
There it was my privilege to plant upon that summit, in a clime of
eternal snow, over a region of perpetual fire in the crater, the flag of
America, where it was greeted by the first rays of the sun rising over
tHe Atlantic and received its last parting look as it sank behind the
waves of the great Pacific Ocean. (Applause.) It was there planted,
and, in imitation of the Spaniards of the olden time, I claimed for the
United States government all the lands the flag floated over! (Ap-
plause.)

(At the conclusion of the flag presentation, opportunity was given
to make a flashlight photograph of the President General's stand and
surroundings, showing General Buckner beside the flag, which was held
by President Danforth, of the Kentucky Society.)

The President General : I would like to ask Compatriot Thruston if
he has any more surprises at this present moment. (Laughter.) Then
we will resume the regular order of business. The next thing in order
will be the report of the Secretary General. I have the honor and
pleasure of presenting our Secretary General, Mr. A. Howard Clark.
(Applause.)

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY GENERAL.

Compatriots : Twenty-one years ago today there was in session in
this city the First Annual Congress of the National Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution, which was organized on April 30, 1889, in
the historic Fraunces Tavern, New York, on the one hundredth anni-

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. TJ

versary of the inauguration of George Washington as the first Presi-
dent of the United States of America. The Society had been formed
by the union of nine independent societies of descendants of the patriots
of the War for Independence, one of the societies, the pioneer of them
all — the Sons of Revolutionary Sires — formed in San Francisco in
1875. The new National Society grew rapidlj^ Its first Congress was
welcomed to Kentucky by our compatriot, the Hon. Simon Bolivar
Buckner, then Governor of this Commonwealth, who extended hearty
hospitality to the forty delegates representing twenty-seven State Socie-
ties with a membership of 2,500. Today the Twenty-second Annual
Congress is here assembled, with delegates representing fifty Societies
with a total enrollment of ^j,,^}^^ members. Again we are welcomed to
the Blue Grass State. Among the delegates at that first Congress, some
of whom are here today, were Vice-President General Buckner, Hon.
William Lindsay, Col. Thomas Speed, and Col. E. Polk Johnson, of
Kentucky; Judge Edgerton and Captain Moffatt, of Minnesota; Don J.
Whittemore and Capt. Charles King, of Wisconsin ; Hon. William E.
English, of Indiana ; Hon. Edwin Shepard Barrett, of Massachusetts ;
Rev. W. R. Parsons, of Ohio; Gen. Alexander S. Webb, John J. Hub-
bell, J. C. Pumpelly, and P. B. Fairchild, of New Jersey, and other
well-known members of the organization.

Among the resolutions adopted at that Congress was one urging upon
the Federal government to make adequate provision and appropriation
for the preservation, classification, and indexing of the Revolutionary
archives then scattered in various department buildings in Washington.
That work has been done.

It is not expected of the Secretary General that he review the prog-
ress of the Society during these intervening years, the accomplishments
of the organization in promoting the spirit of patriotism, in erecting
monuments, tablets, and other memorials of the men and events of the
Revolutionary period. The story is too long to bear recital here. Per-
haps one of the principal acts of the Congress at Louisville in 1890 was
the adoption of a constitution that set loose from its fold some two
score patriotic women who had been enrolled as honorary members of
the Sons of the Arherican Revolution. A few patriotic women, nothing
daunted, encouraged by their brothers in the cause of patriotism,
founded a society of their own, the National Society of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, which has enrolled more than 87,000
women. These two great bodies of Sons and Daughters, with a com-
bined present active strength of more than 75,000 men and women, are
exerting a mighty influence in the land.

Our compatriots were not backward when the call to arms was heard
for the War with Spain. Several hundred of them responded to that
call and, by resolution of our Annual Congress at Detroit, on May i,
1899, the first anniversary of the capture of Manila, to each of these
compatriots there has been awarded a diploma and medal of honor for
their services in that war. During the past year nine of these medals
have been awarded, as follows :

78 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Leonard Furlong, Massachusetts Society, private Company A, Seventh
United States Infantry.

Norman King Robb, IlHnois Society, served in the Houston Light
Guards, Company A, First Texas Vohmteers.

Charles Theodore Wilt. Illinois Society, captain Company G, First
Illinois Volunteers.

Harry Bayley Chamberlin, Vermont Society, quartermaster sergeant
First Vermont Volunteers, captain, assistant quartermaster.

Edward H. Prouty, Vermont Society, first lieutenant First Vermont
Infantry.

James Charles Peabody, Massachusetts Society, petty officer on U. S.
ship "Lehigh."

Olin Royal Booth, Massachusetts Society, private and corporal
Seventh United States Cavalry.

John W. Clary, Massachusetts Society, private Fifth Massachusetts
Volunteer Infantry.

Philip Rose Crippen, Illinois Society, corporal Company C, First
Illinois Volunteer Infantry.

The Secretary General prepared and issued during the year four
numbers of the Official Bulletin aggregating 149 pages. These have
been distributed to every member of the organization. The size of each
issue is necessarily limited to an average of 36 pages in order to keep
within the appropriation of $1,800 for its publication. It is believed that
the Bulletin accomplishes much good in keeping the members in-
formed of the doings of the State Societies and of the national com-
mittees. It is impossible with the necessary limitation of expenditure
to include information that would be of interest and valuable, but
which is beyond the jurisdiction of the Society. The present limita-
tion may be advisable as well as a necessity.

The National Year Book Avas published in somewhat condensed form
at a saving of about $400 over the year preceding. It was distributed
free to the general officers, the trustees, chairmen of national commit-
tees, officers of State Societies, and Presidents of local Chapters, and
the remainder of the total edition of 750 copies was offered to members
generally at 15 cents each to cover cost of handling and mailing. A like
condensation and distribution seems advisable for the 191 1 Year Book.

The several national committees have made satisfactory progress in
their lines of work. The Organization Committees have been notably
active. The Committee for the South, under the chairmanship of Com-
mander John H. Moore, has organized a Society in North Carolina and
one in South Carolina. In the Northwest the committee under the
leadership of Doctor Guyer organized new Societies in North Dakota
and South Dakota. On February 17 a cable message was sent to
Manila announcing that a charter was granted for the Philippine Soci-
ety, which had been in formation under the guidance of Judge Lobin-
gier, of the Nebraska Society.

The committees on Education, on Information for Aliens, on Dese-
cration of the Flag, on Muster and Pension Rolls, the Memorial Com-

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 79

mittee, and the Committee on National Parks will report to this Con-
gress on the work of the year, and the details need not be repeated by
the Secretary General.

The statistical reports as well as the annual statements of the condi-
tion and operations of the several State Societies show a marked activity
throughout the country in many lines of patriotic work. Everywhere
there have been celebrations of anniversaries of events of the War for
Independence, and brilliant addresses have been made on these occa-
sions. Many of these celebrations were honored by the presence of
the President General. All have been reported as fully as practicable
in the Offici.\l Bulletin,.

Among the memorials of the Revolution erected by the Societies
since the Toledo Congress, I may mention the life-size bronze statue of
"The Minute Man" erected by the Connecticut Society and unveiled on
June 17 at Compo Beach to commemorate the heroism of the patriots
who defended their country when the British under General Tryon in-
vaded Connecticut in April, 1777. The Massachusetts Society has
placed a handsome bronze tablet on the Hotel Essex, Boston, on the
site of the birthplace of Gen. Henry Knox, and during the year has
marked the graves of 102 Revolutionary soldiers in that State. The
Kentucky Society and the Ohio Society are planning to mark large
numbers of graves in those States. A pleasing annual custom of the
Louisiana Society is to assemble on All Saints' Day in the old St. Louis
Cemetery, New Orleans, to decorate with the colors of the Sons of the
American Revolution and with ferns and delicate flowers, and with
American, Spanish, and French flags, the graves of French and Spanish
soldiers there buried who aided the cause of American independence.

The Maryland Society has erected a granite monument at the grave
of William Paca, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, which
will be dedicated on May 13 with appropriate ceremonies.

The Colorado and Michigan Societies have given special attention to
the reading of historical papers and discussions thereon at stated meet-
ings held during the winter months.

The National Society officially participated in the dedication of
statues erected in Washington to the memory of General Pulaski,
Count Kosciuzsco, and Baron Von Steuben.

On April 13, 1911, the Senate of the United States appropriated
$100,000 for the erection of a statue to Thomas Jefferson, a measure
urged at the Congresses of this Society in Baltimore and Toledo, and
on the same day the Senate also passed a bill, introduced by our Com-
patriot Henry Cabot Lodge, appropriating a like amount of $100,000
for a statue to Alexander Hamilton, both of these statues to be erected
in the city of Washington.

There can be no doubt as to the advantage of a fuller development
of the local Chapter as a means of increasing the general interest in
this organization. During the last two or three years there has been a
manifest growth in the active work of the Chapters and many of them
have held large and enthusiastic gatherings. A number of new Chap-

8o SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOIvUTlON.

ters have been organized and others are in process of formation, and
it seems to be the general experience that the interest of members
living in viidely separated localities can only thus be kept alive. The
phenomenal growth of the Daughters of the American Revolution is
very largely due to its organization into several thousand local chap-
ters, the chapter being the unit.

In compliance with a vote of the Toledo Congress, there was sent to
each of the State Societies a preamble and resolutions calling upon
each Society to urge the establishment by the States of New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, with the co-operation of the Federal government, of a
national park on the Delaware River near Trenton, to commemorate
the historic crossing by the Continental Army under command of Gen-
eral Washington. The chairman of the Memorial Committee will re-
port on progress made in this patriotic project.

Respectfully submitted, A. Howard Clark,

Secretary General.

(At the mention of General Buckner's name in the report, where he
was referred to as the Governor of Kentucky at the time the National
Society met in Louisville twenty-one years ago, the President General
said : "Compatriots, arise, and let us give three cheers for Gen. Simon
Bolivar Buckner !" This was done with a hearty "Hip ! Hip ! Hip t
Hur-rah! Hur-rah!")

The President General : Gentlemen, you have heard the report of
your Secretary General. What is your pleasure?

Mr. Dewey, of Vermont : I move that the report be accepted and
placed on file.

(This motion had several seconds.)

The President General : Gentlemen, you have heard the motion
made by Mr. Dewey, of Vermont, properly seconded, that the report
of the Secretary General be received and placed on file.

(Motion duly adopted.)

Admiral Baird: I move that a committee of three be appointed to
draft suitable resolutions of thanks to Senator Bacon, of Georgia, and
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, for their efforts in securing the
passage by the U. S. Senate of appropriations for the erection of monu-
ments to Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, respectively.

(Motion seconded and carried.)

The President General : The next order of business will be the
report of your Registrar General, which will also be presented by Mr.
Clark, of Washington.

REPORT OF THE REGISTRAR GENERAL.

CoMPAT"RioTS : Your Registrar General has the honor to report the
enrollment of 924 new members during the Society year ended March
31, 1911, and a total to date of 22,536 members since April 30, 1889.
The present active membership is 12,471 — a net gain of 400 over the

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 8l

preceding year. The accession of new members was somewhat less
than during the years 1909 and 1910, though about 60 above the annual
average since 1901. Massachusetts continues to rank first in numbers,
1.635, followed by the Empire State, 1,368; Connecticut, 1,103; Illinois,
626; Pennsylvania, 603, and New Jersey, 581. The greatest number of
new members this year comes from New York, 103 ; Illinois is second
with 89, Massachusetts third with 80. Only three Societies have failed
to add to their roll.

One year ago today, at the Toledo Congress, a cordial invitation was
extended to the National Society to hold the Congress of 191 1 at
Louisville. The enthusiastic representatives of the Kentucky Society
said, "Come to Louisville. It will do you good ; it will do us good. It
will make you better patriots to meet with Kentuckians in a State
where only one-fortieth of the population is foreign born." We are
here. We are aroused. Kentuckians are aroused. The Registrar Gen-
eral takes pleasure in announcing that the Kentucky Society has in-
creased its membership more than 25 per cent during the year. It has
outstripped all other Societies in percentage of growth. It has won the
Traveling Banner. We are proud of Kentucky, and of our entire
organization.

The new Societies in North Carolina, South Carolina, North Dakota,
South Dakota, and in the Philippines have given us 78 new members.

Two hundred and twenty-five deaths have been reported, some of
them men of eminence, all of them earnest patriots. Several actual
sons of soldiers of the Revolution have passed away. One of these,
Elijah Clark Sears, a relative of your Registrar General, lived to the
great age of 105 years and 5 months. Among the deceased should be
mentioned Theodore H. Eaton, of Detroit, a constant attendant at the
Annual Congress and member of the National Executive Committee;
Judge George H. Williams, Attorney General of the United States,
U. S. Senator from 1866 to 1872, and for many years President of the
Oregon Society; Brig. Gen. Edgar S. Dudley, William Thomas Ward-
well, Maj. Edmund Kirby Webster, Rear Admiral Francis W. Dickins,
Judge Francis Marion Crosby, Rear Admiral Bowman Hendry McCalla,
Col. Oskaloosa M. Smith, Brig. Gen. James Biddle, Judge E. M. P.
Brister, and Hon. Robert Treat Paine.

The Registrar General has issued the average number of certificates
of membership, 625 in all. Under Art. XIV of the By-Laws, every
member of the Society is entitled to a certificate; but as the cost of
engraving and engrossing them is necessarily a charge against the State
Societies, only about two-thirds of the new members receive them.

Through the generosity of a compatriot a full-sized gold insignia has
been provided for the past three years, to be awarded to the State
enrolling the greatest proportional number of sons of present members.
The intention of the donor was to stimulate greater interest in the
younger generation of patriots. In 1909 an insignia was thus awarded
to the Michigan Society; in 1910, to the New Jersey Society. During

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 83

the past year the enrollment of 53 sons has been reported and the Ken-
tucky Society has added to its laurels the honor of being entitled to this
prize insignia. It was proposed by the giver of the badge that the State
receiving it should present it to one of the sons of members thus
enrolled.

The Registrar General has been accustomed each year to call atten-
tion to the progress made in the publication of records of the Revolu-
tion, particularly the names of those w^ho served in the army and navy
in that war. Much has been done in gathering valuable material and
much has been saved from destruction. Actual publication, however,
is far from complete in several of the States. Rhode Island and New
Jersey have the material in hand for an excellent showing of what their
soldiers did in the Revolution, but it still awaits publication. Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia have found themselves
possessors of important documents and lists of soldiers that were
thought to be irretrievably lost. All this priceless historical data should
be promptly put in print and the information thus permanently pre-
served, before other calamities such as the Albany Capitol fire shall
obliterate the material forever. And the Federal government as well
as the States should do its share of publication. This Society has ac-
complished great good in securing the enactment of laws for the gather-
ing and indexing of army and navy rolls, and the Committee on Muster
and Pension Rolls is active in furthering the compilation of data con-
tained in the claim papers of the 60,000 pensioners of the Revolution.

Your Registrar General recommends that this Congress authorize the
Executive Committee to have prepared at the expense of the Society
(if after the committee's consideration it is deemed practicable and
advisable) an alphabetical card index of the pensioners of the Revolu-
tion, to be compiled from the rolls published by the government in 1835.
The printed rolls are compiled by States and counties, without indexes,
in such a manner as to be almost unavailable for reference, and it may
seem to the committee .that an ofifice reference card index of these
60,000 names would be of great value for prompt verification of papers
of applicants and as a source of information for those desiring mem-
bership.

In here presenting his nineteenth annual report your Registrar Gen-
eral again thanks the officers of State Societies and members for their
uniform courtesy and patience in aiding him to preserve the unimpeach-
able character of the records of this Society.

Respectfully submitted, A. Howard Clark,

Registrar General.

(The reference in the report to the Kentucky Society having added
to its laurels the honor of being entitled to the Traveling Banner and
the prize insignia this year was greeted with hearty applause.)

The President General : Compatriots, you have heard the report of
your Registrar General. What is your pleasure?

84 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

(Moved and seconded that the report be received and placed on file.
Carried.)

AWARD OF PRIZE INSIGNIA TO KENTUCKY SOCIETY.

The President General: While we are waiting for the Traveling
Banner to be unboxed, we will proceed with the presentation of the
prize badge, and I will call on the Rev. Dr. Stone, our Chaplain Gen-
eral, to present it to the Kentucky Society. (Applause.)

Dr. Stone: In presenting this badge — which is a recognition of the
appreciation by the National Society of the State which has brought
the largest number of sons of present members into the National Soci-
ety during the year — I wish to say that we live today in a time when
the great strength of any movement is recognized to be not simply in
its reflective power, but in its originating power; that it is not simply
a matter of doing today over again what our fathers did yesterday, but
it is the power of doing ourselves, and doing for others; and there is
no greater opportunity or force in our Society than that of inspiring
our sons with the purposes and aims that have inspired us. Therefore
we congratulate your Society, sir, upon this splendid honor which you
have brought to yourselves in bringing so many of your own young men
into the front rank of the national work of our Society, and I take
great pleasure in presenting this badge to your Society. (Applause.)

Chaplain Craik, of Kentucky: Mr. President General and Dr. Stone,
I suppose it has been as much of a surprise to you to be called on to
present this badge as it is to me to receive it ; but, although unexpected,
it is certainly not unappreciated, and it gives me great pleasure, on
behalf of our local organization, to accept this badge, which is certainly
a badge of honor. I suppose there is no member of the Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution who does not believe in the value of
pedigree. If it were not for pedigree this organization would not exist.
We have it upon the highest authority that the sins of the fathers are
visited upon the children ; so, also, we can claim that the virtues of our
ancestors descend from generation to generation. (Applause.) And
it is in recognition of that fact, therefore, that Kentucky can claim
the meed of honor and appreciation of that great truth ; and I am glad
to be able, in her name and that of her Society, to accept this badge
in recognition of it. It is only because my own eldest son achieved his
majority on last Saturday, instead of some time earlier during the year,
that he is not now enrolled among this band of patriots. (Applause.)

AWARD OF TRAVELING BANNER TO KENTUCKY SOCIETY.

The President General : Gentlemen, arise. I will now ask Com-
patriot Wardner Williams, ex-President of the Colorado Society, which
gave the banner to the National Society, to present that flag to the
Kentucky Society.

(The flag is here brought forward.)

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 85

Mr. Williams began by relating the story of the young son of a
member of the Supreme Court of his State, who came home from
school for the holidays, and while there became deeply enamored of
a young miss of fifteen who lived next door. When he was about to
return to his studies his father urged him to write as soon as he
arrived, and let his parents know if he had reached his destination in
safety. The boy demurred at this on the score that he would arrive
there Thursday, and he always wrote on Sunday, anywa}-. The father
insisted, however, and agreed to compromise on a postal card instead
of a letter. The boy relented, and his father received this message :
"I got here all right; but, "father, it is awfully lonesome down here.
If you see any of the neighbors, tell her to write." (Applause.) This,
said Mr. Williams, was the boy's awakening. Mr. Williams then con-
tinued :

Mr. Williams: To me the Stars and Stripes are the symbol of the
awakening of the American people. Those of us who have stood in
foreign ports and seen the Stars and Stripes floating at the masthead
of one of our battleships know the thrill it sends to the American
heart to view that flag, the insignia of liberty, floating over the seas.
It is said that the ropes of the British Navy are intertwined by a red
thread, and that no matter where you find a piece of cordage of the
British Navy — it may be on some deserted island; it may have floated
from some ship in time of dire distress — there you will find intertwined
the red thread of the British Navy, and you know by that thread that a
ship of England has passed that way. I have often thought of the
impression upon an heir to the throne when his father first says to
him, "My son, you are the son of royalty." That is royalty's awaken-
ing. And so if we say to our own sons, "Boys, you are the sons of
American Revolutionary sires. You are the red thread that runs
through the entire history of the American people, and it is to you,
more than to any other class of citizens that live under the folds of
the Stars and Stripes, that America is looking for great things." I
have tried to impress upon the membership of my own State Society
that we must not keep our eyes riveted on the past; for, as desirable
and as necessary as it is to commemorate the events of American his-
tory, there are great events before us today and in the future. (Ap-
plause.) It will take all the strength and all the courage, and all the
heroism and the patriotism of the rank and file of American citizenship
to meet these obligations, just as it required all the strength and all
the courage of our forefathers to meet the obligations that confronted
them a hundred years ago. If we are worthy sons of our ancestors,
the founders of this Republic, we will be as ready to don the habili-
ments of war in our time as they were in theirs. When our com-
patriot. Admiral Dewey, ran with the sun into Manila Bay on that
bright May morning and passed the word down the line of his ships,
"Clear the deck for action," and under his guns the Spanish vessels,
one by one, were sunk or beached; and when Gen. Irving Hale, a
member of my own Society, ordered the Spanish flag which floated

86 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

over the castle in Manila Bay lowered and the Stars and Stripes run
up — from that moment America became a world power! (Applause.)
Compatriots, we have tremendous questions to meet — questions of
grave responsibility and far-reaching influence. First of all, we have
the principles of honesty, uprightness, and justice in this land to main-
tain. We have the question of whether our own merchant marine shall
carry our goods to the markets of the world. We have the question
of obtaining our rightful proportion of the trade of Central and South
America. We have the question of the firm maintenance of the Monroe
Doctrine on this continent. We have many other great and important
problems to deal with. They are real questions, great questions, and
they will require our patriotism and all our strength to see that they
are properly solved. Compatriots, at a time like this it behooves us to
stand shoulder to shoulder more than any other class of citizens. As
our forefathers laid down their lives for the founding of this country,
so we must lay down ours, if necessary, for its maintenance. We have
here the colors of the Societ}^ of the American Revolution, and it would
seem eminently appropriate that these colors be intertwined with the
Stars and Stripes that have just been presented by the Kentucky Soci-
ety, and I trust they shall never be separated; that wherever the Stars
and Stripes shall stream, the same spirit of heroism and patriotism
shall be inspired by the colors of the Sons of the American Revolution !
(Applause.) It affords me the greatest pleasure, ]Mr. President, to pre-
sent this Traveling Banner, designed by the Colorado Society, to your
splendid Kentucky Society, and as it goes from State to State we trust
it may carry with it the inspiration of justice, patriotism, and liberty.
(Great applause.)

Mr. Danforth : Mr. President General and delegates, I w-ant to say
that the surprises are beginning to come our way, and that we deeply
appreciate them you need not be told. I feel sorrj^ for New Jersey;
but, at the same time, sir, she has got to get up and hump herself if
she wants to get this flag back. (Laughter and applause.) The last
speaker said something about entwining this banner with the Stars and
Stripes, and he looked over at this banner here that we have presented
to the National Society, and I said to myself then, "Not if we know
it!" (Laughter.) We shall try to keep this banner.

(Apropos of the situation in which the Kentucky Society found
itself, Mr. Danforth told, much to the delectation of his audience, the
story of "Uncle Ephraim," an old Henry County, Kentucky, darky, who
occasionally took aboard too much "happiness." On the occasion in
question Uncle Ephraim, after having imbibed pretty freely, had to
run the gauntlet of a graveyard on his way to his little cabin home,
and there his imagination conjured up the "ghost" he was expecting,
and he took precipitate flight, almost running his heart out, finally
dropping down by a log on the roadside from sheer exhaustion, where,
just as he was beginning to revive, his "ghost" sat down beside him
and said, "We have had quite a race, haven't we?" Uncle Ephraim
found the breath to reply, "Yes, and we'se gwine to have another right
now.") (Great laughter and applause.)

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 87 .

Continuing, Air. Danforth said :

"And so I say we are going to have another race. (Applause.)
And we hope to hold the banner, too ; but if any other State wins it,
we will turn it over with as much grace as it has been turned over to
us." (Applause.)

Mr. Howe, of New Jersey: I wish to state, Mr. President General,
that New Jersey is not afraid of "ghosts." (Laughter.) I want to
say, too, that it gives us great pleasure to pass this banner over to
Kentucky. In New Jersey we have an enormous number of foreign-
born population. Only a small part of our citizenship is eligible to
membership in the Sons ot the American Revolution. It has been a
great pleasure to us to hear that only one-fortieth of the population
of Kentucky is foreign born, and we will admit that you have good
stock. But we are in the race! (Applause and laughter.)

The President General : We will now listen to the report of the
Historian General, who will please come to the platform.

(Historian General Pierson, of New Jersey, submitted his report
as follows, reading extracts to the Congress:)

REPORT OF HISTORIAN GENERAL.

Mr. President General and Compatriots of the Sons of the
American Revolution : Patriotism is the keynote — the countersign, as
it were — of our Society, and we are only loj^al to the institution so
gloriously builded upon the strong and sure foundation laid by the
organizers when we keep that lambent flame ever to the fore as a
beacon for all mankind.

It is not a difficult matter to exhibit one's love of country in such a
Commonwealth as that in which we are meeting today. Famous the
world over for its fair women, its gallant men, its beautiful scenery,
its courageous pioneers who pushed through the wilderness (men of
the character of Colonel Shelby, the first Governor of Kentucky and
the hero of the Battle of Kings Mountain; George Rogers Clark, and
Daniel Boone), the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln and of Henry Clay,
its fertile soil, and many other features, it is no wonder that the world-
wide and popular verses, set to strains of sweet and beautiful music,
grow richer with the passing of the years — "My Old Kentucky Home."
And there has been no mistaking the welcome that has been accorded
us in this most hospitable city ; so we are naturally placed in an environ-
ment for the consideration of patriotic and higher thoughts of life.

Few words are more misunderstood in our country than patriotism.
It can be said with all frankness that we have a duty to perform in
seeing that those lukewarm citizens, too often found in high places,
who are negligent of their responsibilities, are brought into a clearer
vision of their duties to the state and nation. We have a danger from
foes within more than we have from foes without, it seems.

Our Society of the Sons of the American Revolution has steadily
gone forward in its great patriotic work, a glance over the pages of
our history revealing a noble, consistent band of patriots, who from the
beginning wrought most delicately, yet firmly, this great fabric, into
which has since been knit the lives of many compatriots of distinguished
ancestr}', and, in not a few instances, illustrious sons who have achieved
fame in one or more of the manj^ avenues of useful endeavor for
human-kind. We should rejoice today in the firm foothold that the
Society has in this country.

88 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

During the year the Societies have been active in one form or another
contributing to the general welfare of the national organization. The
future is looming up bright with prophetic assurances of increased
usefulness by the Sons all over this broad land.

Through the persistent efforts of President General William Allen
Marble, assisted by a number of other compatriots, the remains of
Admiral John Paul Jones will now have a suitable resting-place. Too
much credit cannot be given our President General for his efforts in
behalf of this beneficent enterprise, and it is one of the achievements
of his administration of which he may well feel proud. Too often the
patriotic work ends when the bands cease playing, and this particular
effort should be remembered with gratitude bj- the people of the United
States.

Another event of great national importance was the recognition of
the heroic service given this country by that sterling Prussian patriot,
Baron Frederick Wilhelm von Steuben, the drill-master of the War of
the Revolution, through the dedication of the magnificent statue in
bronze at the northwest corner of Lafayette Square, in Washington, in
the presence of President William Howard Taft, Count von Bernstorff,
Ambassador to this country from Germany, and many other diplomats,
under conditions that would have been trying otherwise. That day,
Wednesday, December 7, 1910, will be marked in history as one of the
most eventful of all the great pageants held at the capital of our
country.

A lofty spirit of patriotism permeated the atmosphere despite the
inclemency of the weather almost up to the hour of the unveiling, and
indifferent would be the individual to the nobler attributes of manhood
if he beheld that wonderful scene without emotion. Tardy though the
recognition, the statue does prove appreciation of work well done, and
it would be a difficult matter to single out any of the tributes which
were more impressive — the one offered by President Taft, in his digni-
fied oration, and the others who followed him ; the rendering of "The
Star-Spangled Banner" by an assembled chorus of 1,000 voices of the
Northeastern Ssengerbund ; or the procession, made up largely of those
of Teutonic birth, which passed in review before the distinguished
guests assembled on the grandstand. It was all of an intensely in-
spirational character and gave a touch of sentiment that was most
impressive and far-reaching in its lesson.

It must be remembered that this great demonstration took place
following a storm which for severity nearly rivaled the one made
famous of March 4, 1909; yet it was estimated that 80,000 visitors
counted it not a hardship to stand in the frosty air in the snow-covered
streets while the ceremonies were in progress.

All the general officers of the National Society were invited to the
dedication, and your Historian counted it a rare privilege to be among
those present. We were also honored by having the ushers all detailed
from the District of Columbia Society. Our National Society, at its
Annual Congress in Independence Hall in 1905, called the attention of
the United States Congress to the appropriate character of this memo-
rial and urged its prompt completion.

During the year it was my privilege to correspond with many of the
officers of the State Societies, with the object of bringing something
before this Congress in a tangible form which would serve as a help,
as a guide, in the furtherance of the objects and aims which are so
dear to our hearts. The results you have seen, or will see. No effort
has been made to encourage competition, nor is any comparison in-
vited except that which will give ideas for increasing the activities of
the compatriots. It is merely meant as an opportunity to view the
work done in various parts of the country, and to give ideas for further
work, if possible. Thirty-three Societies are represented in the collec-

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 89

tion, and others would no doubt have been had there been time enough.
It is hoped that the plan, if it meets with the approval of the com-
patriots, will become a fixed part of the Annual Congress.

History, as far as possible, should be written as it occurs ; the color-
ing, if needed, can come later. While the duties of the Historian may-
be increased by this means, it is nevertheless hoped that he will here-
after be placed on the mailing list of every State Society, so that he
will be the better enabled to prepare his report in a more leisurely
manner. It is also recommended that on April i — not later — each
Society shall send to the Historian a written statement of the year's
work, so that he can present them to the National Congress in future.

It would appear from the reports received this year that the day most
generally observed throughout the country is the natal day of the
immortal Washington. Truly the spirit of patriotism was rife on the
twenty-second of February last, from Maine to California, and in
nearly every State in the Union.

_ At the Washington Headquarters, Morristown, on this day, the exer-
cises were of a most dignified character, and while not held directly
under the auspices of any of the State Societies, many of the com-
patriots of New Jersey attended. Dr. Edwin A. Alderman, president
of the University of Virginia, was the orator, and his message was
most heartily received. This is an annual custom of the Washington
Association, which has been organized for the purpose of retaining the
building identically as it existed when Washington made his headquar-
ters there in the winter of 1779- 1780. It is well worth a visit from any
of the compatriots who are in the vicinity of New York, and can be
reached within an hour's travel. It may not be out of order to state
that Morristown Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, has
taken up the project of marking Washington's route on his way from
Princeton to find a camping place for the winter of 1776-1777 at Mor-
ristown.

Several of the compatriots of the Empire State Society have taken up
the proposition of making a historical park at the battlefield of Sara-
toga. The only battleground of the Revolutionary struggle that has
been so set aside, I believe, is the one at Guilford Battleground, near
Greensboro, N. C, and it is to Mrs. Joseph M. Morehead, widow of
the gentleman who was at the head of the movement, that we are
indebted for the exhibit which you will note from that State, so lately
joining our ranks.

At the battleground of Springfield, in New Jersey, which has, for
some reason unknown, been given an unimportant place in the annals
of the Revolutionary War, a further tribute to the memory of the
patriots of that trying engagement of a century and a third ago was
given on June 23, 1910, the anniversary of the battle, by the dedication
of a liberty pole, from which the Stars and Stripes will now be dis-
-played on many of the anniversaries of battles and patriotic holidays.

The Connecticut Society dedicated an imposing statue of a Minute
Man at Compo Beach on June 17, 1910, in memory of the engagement
on Compo Hill, April 25, 1777, and on Columbus Day, October 12, the
Massachusetts Society assisted in the unveiling of memorial tablets at
Bell Rock Memorial Park, and on Washington's Birthday placed a
"bronze tablet commemorative of the services in the Revolutionary War
of Maji Gen. Henry Knox, at the site of his birthplace in Boston. Our
'Compatriots in Maryland are preparing to dedicate this month a hand-
some memorial to William Paca, Signer of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, the design being a broad scroll upon a granite block. The
legislature of New Hampshire has under consideration a bill appropri-
ating a sum for a statue of Gen. John Sullivan. And there comes
from the East — from the Massachusetts Society and the other Socie-
ties— a great wave of patriotism, as we hear of these celebrations of
Patriots'' Day, April 19.

90 SONS OF THK AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

One of the mediums through which we could greatly increase the
interest in our Society would be a more general advocacy of the erec-
tion of liberty poles. True, our educational forces have accomplished
a great deal in the way of real practical results, and even larger returns
are expected in the future ; but the outside world would become better
acquainted, perhaps, if we paid more attention to the display of the
colors. In the days of the strife which gave us this glorious govern-
ment, liberty poles were placed everywhere — on the village green, on-
home, school, church, factory, and other places of vantage. Is it not
a most appropriate way to impress upon the newly arrived immigrant
the fact that the Flag stands for something more than a brilliant dis-
play; that there is a principle back of it? By a liberal participation in
this practice by our people he will be taught that we have an abiding
faith in our government.

Independence Day is not so generally observed as it was in the early
days of the Republic. In several of the States there were safe and
sane celebrations, with parades, orations, etc. This is the day that gave
us the charter of our liberties, and it may not be among the impossi-
bilities in the near future to chronicle the fact that a general, dignified
observance is noted throughout the country by the Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution.

The ever-mooted question of how to increase our membership is
always with us. The suggestion is made that, as a trial, neighboring
Societies invite compatriots to exchange in addressing public meetings
or private gatherings on the work that is being done by the Society,
and to emphasize the fact that it is purely American in spirit. We
ought to have at least 50,000 members enrolled within our ranks, and
may the day speedily come when the roster will show this number in
active membership.

Publicity is positively needed if we are to progress numerically, and
in no way can those who are without be shown its advantages better
than in meetings*where its objects are thoroughly exploited.

Can we justify our existence more sincerely than by placing memo-
rials at the scenes of historical importance ; in remembering the lives
of the great men, and of the events in connection with the development
of our country? The value of statuary in perpetuating history cannot
be overestimated. Probably no one society in the world offers such an
excellent opportunity to erect monuments as does the Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution, and you have shown your apprecia-
tion of this fact by erecting innumerable memorials in many of the
battlefields and places having connection with the war and other
periods of our national history.

In the past ages we have found our reliable source of history in the
monuments in marble and bronze left to us by the thoughtful men of
other times. In fact, in Egypt, where intellectuality reached a high
plane, a great man frequently prepared in advance of his death for his
monument that was to survive him for the centuries that were to
follow.

Bronze statues in public places and marble statues in the government
buildings record in the best manner, it seems, the face and appearance
of those of our national life who have worked for the upbuilding of
this great nation. Our Society should see to it that not one oppor-
tunity be lost to commemorate in fitting sculpture the worthy deeds of
those who have lived and given of themselves freely for the good of
the whole country.

We should encourage the people to become familiar with our national
songs, particularly "America" and the "Star-Spangled Banner."

We should take up the question of providing historical parks on the
battlegrounds of the Revolution wherever it is possible.

We should encourage a more general observance of at least three of

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 9I

our great days, namely, Washington's Birthday, Flag Day, and Inde-
pendence Day, at least by a general display of "the colors.

We should consider the plan of giving assistance to the numerically
smaller Societies in every way that is compatible with the best interests
of the national organization.

We should encourage the reading of American history, not only by
our own members, but by all who can be reached by the compatriots.

Would it not be a good plan to have the colors of our National
Society follow the President General on the same general plan that
they do the President of the United States? A custodian could be
secured in the city where the President General has his residence and
a color-bearer designated.

The suggestion that there be selected from among our members an
organizer — one who would not only be in thorough touch and sympathy
with the Society, but also possess enthusiasm that would enlist others
to become members, as he went from State to State, attending meet-
ings arranged under the auspices of the various Societies — is also made.

Perhaps it is a little too early to even suggest that we have a legis-
lative committee, which could examine the more important bills pre-
sented to the National Congress at Washington. With several watch-
ful compatriots looking over the measures, pernicious legislation or
that which would retard a healthy growth of our country might be in
some measure restricted or weeded out entirely.

While we are remembering Valley Forge, would it not be quite in
line with the purposes of our Society to place a memorial of some
character at the headquarters of Washington in Morristown in the
winter of 1779- 1780? Our Society is not represented as an organization
in the splendid work that has been done in preserving that mansion,
where Washington and his generals met so frequently in councils of
war.

94 SONS OP THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

We have done well in the past. Now let us look to the future, keep-
ing ever clear before our vision the examples of devotion to country of
our fathers, so that it might be said of us that we at least performed
our work to the best of our ability. Opportunity is before us and the
past is urging us on.

"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."
Respectfully submitted,

David L. PiErson,
Historian General.

(Moved and seconded that the report of the Historian General be
received and accepted and printed in full in the Year Book, and motion
carried.)

The President General announced the following members of the Dis-
trict of Columbia Society as the Committee on Resolutions of Thanks
to Senator Bacon, of Georgia, and Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
for their efforts in securing appropriations by the U. S. Senate for the
erection of monuments in Washington City to Thomas Jefferson and
Alexander Hamilton, respectively : Admiral George W. Baird, Colonel
William B. Thompson, William A. De Caindry, Philip F. Larner.

The President General also announced the following as the Com-
mittee on Resolution of Thanks to Congressman Loud, of Michigan, for
his successful efforts in securing an appropriation to provide a suitable
resting place for the remains of John Paul Jones : Hon. Cornelius A.
Pugsley, of New York; John H. Burroughs, of New York; George D.
Bangs, of New York; Admiral George W. Baird, U. S. N., of Wash-
ington, D. C.

(On motion, at 12.10 p. m., the Congress took a recess to 2.30 p. m.)

Afternoon Session, May i, 1911 — 2.45 p.m.

The Congress was called to order by President General Marble.

The President General: Compatriots, the Historian General wishes
to be heard briefly, and his request will doubtless be granted.

Historian General Pierson : I want to show the delegates here a
picture of William Richardson Davie, a former Governor of North
Carolina, at one time a resident of Louisville, and a colonel in the
Revolutionary War. This picture and the frame were made in 1800,
III years ago. The people here in Louisville are very proud of it.

(Mr. Pierson held the picture of Governor Davie up before the mem-
bers, so all could have a good view of it.)

The President General : Before taking up the regular order of busi-
ness, it is my pleasure to recognize ex-President General Hancock, of
Pennsylvania.

Judge Hancock : Mr. President General, it has been our experience
in Pennsylvania that some men will obtain their certificates of member-
ship and then drop out of the Society for non-payment of dues. We
have lost considerable membership in our State in that way, and I sup-
pose other State Societies have suffered in like manner. Now, I have

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 95

two resolutions here aimed at the correction of this abuse, and I will
read the first one :

Resolved, That a clause be inserted in the application for membership
and incorporated in the certificate granted thereon, by which, when the
recipient of the certificate shall fail to pay his annual dues for mem-
bership, he shall surrender his certificate, unless his membership shall
cease by reason of death or actual disability.

The second resolution I have to offer reads :

Resolved, That this subject be referred to a committee of three, of
which the Registrar General shall be one, to report thereon to this
Congress.

The purpose is to get this measure through as quickly as poiisible to
remedy this trouble.

Colonel Guthrie : Acting under the instructions of the Pennsylvania
Society, I desire to second these resolutions. We want to advocate this
measure with all the power we can bring to bear.

Mr. Bacon, of New York, also seconded the resolution.

The President GENER.^L : I would like to ask Judge Hancock if it is
his judgment that a resolution of this kind can be properly passed by
this Congress.

Judge Hancock : I think so ; that is the reason I wanted a second to
the resolution.

The Secretary General : It is not an amendment to the Constitution
or the By-Laws. It is simply a regulation, and the Board of Trustees
has control of that. The matter could be left in their hands.

Judge Hancock : I would rather have it adopted at once. This
■Congress is greater than the Board of Trustees.

Mr. Hyde : I think that is a good resolution, but I think when a man
pays for his certificate, if, for some unknown reason he drops out, it
could hardly be required of him that he return his certificate; it has
been paid for, and I do not believe we could enforce such a rule.

(By request, the Secretary General reread the resolutions, and there
were calls of "Question !")

A Member: I would like to inquire whether the Constitution and
By-Laws of this Society provide for the qualifications necessary for
membership, and the rights of membership touching this point.

The President General: This is a question of legality, and I think
that it can all be left with the committee, of which Judge Hancock will
be the chairman, and the committee can report upon that later.

The Secretary General : Section 2 of Article III of the Constitution
says : "Applications for membership shall be made to any State Society,
in duplicate, upon blank forms prescribed by the Board of Trustees."

(The resolutions presented by Judge Hancock and duly seconded
were then put to a vote and carried.)

The President General: I will appoint on the committee provided
for in the second resolution just adopted ex-President General James
Denton Hancock, of Pennsylvania; Registrar General A. Howard

9^ SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Clark, of Washington City, and ex-President General Cornelius A.-
Pugsley, of New York.

The next regular standing committee we shall call upon to make a
report is that of the Committee on Auditing and Finance, Mr. William
A. De Caindry, of Washington City, Chairman.

Mr. DeCaindry: Mr. President General, the Committee on Auditing
and Finance has carefully examined the accounts of the Treasurer Gen-
eral for the last year, and has endorsed on the report that they find
them correct. I desire in addition to say for the committee that the
accounts have been very elegantly and correctly kept.

(Moved and seconded that the report of the committee be accepted,
and motion carried.)

Mr. Pugsley: The committee wishes to express to our worthy
Treasurer General the thanks of the Society for his work during the
past year.

(Motion duly seconded and carried.)

The President General: The next report is that of the Memorial'
Committee, Mr. Howe, of New Jersey, Chairman.

REPORT OF MEMORIAL COMMITTEE.

Mr. Howe : Mr. President General, we desire to supplement the report
made by the Secretary General in two particulars. The first, at the
meeting of the Congress a year ago, the marking of the graves of the
Signers of the Declaration of Independence was called to our attention.
The next matter is that of the proposed establishment of a national
park at the crossing of the Delaware, just above the city of Trenton,
where Washington and his little army crossed in the ice and attended'
the Christmas celebration in what is now the center of the city of
Trenton. In regard to the first matter, that of graves of the Signers
of New Jersey, one of our members. Professor Arms^trong, gave an
entire summer vacation to the patriotic duty of locating these graves,
and he has located all the graves of the Signers, I believe, and reports •
that the graves of only two of the Signers are not properly marked.

The New Jersey Society took up the matter and decided it was best
to refer it to the Legislature and try to secure a proper appropriation ■
for the marking of these graves. That matter is receiving considera-
tion and will continue to do so until these graves are properly marked.

As to the important matter of the establishment of a national park
on the banks of the Delaware, to mark the site of the most spectacu-
lar battle of the whole Revolutionary War, the chairman of the New
Jersey commission appointed by Governor Fort is United States Sen-
ator Briggs, whose duties have kept him in Washington and very closely
occupied for some months past. We have made some progress in New
Jersey, but we have no official information as to what Pennsylvania
has done or will do. We hope that with the active co-operation of the
State of Pennsylvania and the two State Societies we may be able •
to report real progress towards securing the ground on both sides of

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 97

the Delaware River— ground which lies today practically in the same
condition it was in when the battle was fought. It is still possible for
us to preserve to posterity this battlelield, used ever since as farming
land, if we can only secure the co-operation of the two States of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey and that of our Society. (Applause.)

The President General: Gentlemen, you have heard the report of
the Memorial Committee. What is your pleasure?

(Motion made and seconded that the report be accepted and em-
bodied in the Year Book, with the thanks of the Congress to the com-
mittee for the work that has been done. Carried.)

The President General: The next report will be that of the Com-
mittee on Organization, North and West, Doctor Clarkson' N. Guyer,
Chairman.

REPORT OF ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE (NORTH AND

WEST).

Dr. Guyer: Mr. President General, before reading this report I
want to give you a message sent by two compatriots who wanted to
be here but could not be. One of them was Compatriot Dr. Higley,
who once lived in Louisville, I believe. He desired me to give you
his greetings and to say that he was sorry he could not be present at
this meeting. The other was Compatriot Joseph F. Tuttle, Jr. (Ap-
plause.) He desired me to remember him to his many friends here
at this meeting, but there are so many of them it would be hard to
get around and see them all individually, and so I want to say now
that he wishes to be remembered to all.

Denver, Colo., April 19, 191 1.

Compatriots : I have the honor to herewith submit a final report of
Committee on Organization in the North and West.

As previously submitted, it organized the Wyoming State Society
on March 28th, 1908. at Cheyenne, and had the great pleasure of
revisiting this society on the 18th of March, 191 1, and found a flourish-
ing society of over thirty members. On December 26th, 1908, it organ-
ized the New Mexico Society at Albuquerque, a most earnest and
active organization today, to build up the new State along the lines
of patriotic work of our National Society. On April 8th, 1909, the
Committee went to Boise, Idaho, and under most promising auspices
organized the Idaho State Society, and at Reno, Nevada, a society was
organized on February 19, 1910. The splendid reports of the New
Mexico, Idaho, Nevada, South Dakota, and North Dakota Societies
in Secretary General Clark's March Bulletin will be most gratifying
to the members of the Society at large.

Your Committee, through its most efficient Secretary, Compatriot
F. M. Keezer. and Joseph F. Tuttle, Jr., had a long correspondence,
running through many months, with compatriots in South Dakota and
North Dakota relative to rehabilitation of the old society in the former
^nd a new organization in the latter State. It was deemed best to
attempt to reorganize the old South Dakota Society, and, as far qs
notice could be given, word was everywhere sent, to the old members,
of a meeting to be held in Sioux Falls on a certain date named. It
met in Judge Well's office, Tuesday evening, January 31, 191 1. The
7 — SR

plan of reorganization was proposed, but not one of the old society
vvas present. Those attending were compatriots of other State Socie-
ties, resident in South Dakota, and a large number of eligibles. It
was the unanimous wish of all present that an entirely new State
organization be elTected. This was accordingly done with fine spirit
and enthusiasm, and a new charter was granted' under date of January
31, 191 1. Patriotic lectures in the interests of our Society were given
by Mr. Tuttle in the First Presbyterian Church; also in the Sioux
Falls High School, with over four hundred high school students at-
tending, as well as in the Whittier School, which was also crowded.
It was a resonant, clarion note that was struck for the Sons of the
American Revolution in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Former Vice-President General Webster and Compatriots Flack and
Richardson, of the Nebraska State Society, were most gracious in
hospitalities to your Committee in passing through Omaha, and on
February 2 the Minnesota State Society entertained the Committee
at a lunch in Minneapolis. President Edward P. Sanborn and a large
number of the Minnesota Compatriots showed the "greatest enthusiasm
in the Committee's work.

On the following evening the Committee arrived in Fargo, North
Dakota, the place designated by Judge B. F. Spalding, of the State
Supreme Court, as headquarters of the new Society in North Dakota.
The Committee was most fortunate in having enlisted the interest of
Judge Spalding, and at a banquet at the Gardner Hotel Saturday even-
ing, February 4, the Society was formally organized with more than
the required number of Charter Members. Judge Spalding was elected
President, and as a result of his untiring work and of Compatriot
F. F. Burchard, of Grand Forks (formerly of the Wyoming State
Society), a list of fifty-five eligibles was presented and read at the
meeting.

And so North Dakota, the last Northern Society to be organized,
was brought into the fold of the Sons of the American Revolution,
and the work of the Committee of Organization of North and West
was completed. Following the custom in the organization in other
States, a patriotic service was held in the Congregational Church of
the city the next evening. The Society's Chaplain, Rev. R. A. Beard,
D. D., presided, and a large audience listened to an address upon one
of the heroes of the American Revolution, from Mr. Tuttle.

On the evening of April 15, 191 1, it was my great pleasure as Chair-
man of Chapters of the Colorado Society, to organize a chapter at
Fort Collins, Colorado, with eighteen members and a considerable
number of eligibles almost ready with their papers. In organizing
this Chapter, precisely the same methods were used as during the past
three years in the organization of new State Societies, viz : Press
notices in advance and a patriotic address by Mr. Tuttle, who has
assisted at all of the State organizations. In Colorado we thoroughly
believe in the Chapter idea, which has been followed with such marked
success in many of our State Societies.

It has been necessary, in compliance with the laws of our National
Society, to list the new members on the roll of some State Society.
In the organization of these six new State Societies the new members
have been enrolled with the Colorado State Society. This enrollment
and subsequent demission afterwards to the new Society had fallen
upon the Secretaries of the Colorado Society, Compatriots Stoddard
and Kirby, who have most willingly and without charge performed
these extra duties. T most deeply appreciate their work of love for
our Society.

Yours very truly, Clarkson N. Guyek,^

Chairman. Committee on Organisation, North and JVcsf.

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 99

The President General: You have heard the report of your Com-
mittee on Organization in the North and West. What is your pleasure?

Mr. Dewey, of Vermont: I move that the report be accepted and
that the thanks of the Society be extended to Doctor Guyer and his
associates on the committee. I do this for one reason especially: He
speaks of Judge Spalding in his report. Judge Spalding was an old
tent-mate of mine in the Vermont Militia.

(Motion seconded by Colonel Guthrie, of Pennsylvania, and carried.)

The President Gener.^l : Doctor Guyer, you will please receive the
thanks of this Congress and extend the same to your associates on this
Committee.

The next report will be that of the Committee on Organization in
the South, Commander John H. Moore, of Washington City, Chairman.

In the absence of the Chairman, the report will be read by the
Secretary General.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON ORGANIZATION
(SOUTH).

Washington. D. C, April 26, 191 1.

It is with great pleasure I have to announce the formation of two
State Societies in the South during the past year.

On February 22, at Washington, North Carolina, the North Carolina
State Society was organized with thirty members. This Society,
through its most energetic and enthusiastic Secretary-Registrar, Mr.
R. T. Bonner, of Aurora, promises to become a very active and large
Society. Today its membership is largely in the eastern end of the
State, but it is extending all over the State and by the time we meet
again I prophesy it will have reached and passed more than one of
our other Societies. It has already gathered together a very good
library of works on the History and War Records of the State of
North Carolina. The Society is to be congratulated upon its choice
of a Secretary-Registrar. Mr. Bonner is the right man in the right
place.

On March 22, a South Carolina State Society was organized at
Greenville, South Carolina, with a charter membership of twenty mem-
bers, mostly from the western section of the State.

This Society bids- fair to reach its next door neighbor, the North
Carolina Society. Having organized one month later, it is too early
to say as much about it as I would like to, but I feel confident that
with such a leader as Mr. P. T. Hayne, of Greenville, it will make a
great showing at our next Congress. I would suggest if any member
reading this report has any relations living in either of these States
that he kindly communicate their names to Mr. R. T. Bonner, Aurora,
North Carolina, or Mr. P. T. Hayne, Greenville, South Carolina. They
will do the rest.

Respectfully. Jno. H. Moore.

Cliainnan, Committee on Organisation (South).

Doctor Guyer: I move that the report of the Committee on Organi-
zation in the South be accepted and placed on file, and that a vote
of thanks be returned to Commander Moore and his associates on
that Committee for the work they have done.

(Motion seconded bv Colonel Guthrie, of Pennsylvania, and carried.)

lOO SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

The President General: The next order of business is the report
of the Committee on Education— Colonel Charles Lyman, of Washing-
ton, D. C, Chairman. In the absence of the Chairman, this report will
be presented by our Compatriot Charles Dean Kimball, former Gov-
ernor of Rhode Island, a member of the Committee.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION.

Compatriots : Your Committee on Education takes pleasure in re-
porting that during the last year there has been marked activity in
two lines of patriotic and educational work, viz : public addresses at
banquets and meetings of State Societies and local Chapters, and on
numerous more public occasions; and the unveiling and dedication
of monuments, tablets, and other memorials commemorative of historic
places, events, and persons connected with the Revolutionary period.
Every speech fitly made on any such occasion is good seed, and while
here and there it may fall upon stony ground or barren soil and pro-
duce no fruit, will in the main fall upon good ground and bring
forth an hundred-fold the fruit of patriotism and good citizenship.
And as education comes by the seeing of the eye as well as by the
hearing of the ear, every such tablet, monument, or other memorial
in bronze or stone is a perpetual preacher of moral and patriotic
righteousness, for patriotism and morality go hand in hand.

Among the noteworthy memorials erected during the last year are
the following : By the Connecticut Societ3\ at Compo Beach, Westport,
a life-size bronze statue of the "Minute Man." erected to commemo-
rate the heroism of the patriots who defended their country when
the British, under General Tryon, invaded Connecticut. The Massa-
chusetts Society, on October 12, 1910, assisted in unveiling memorial
tablets at Bell Rock, Memorial Park, Maiden ; and on February 22,
1911, dedicated a tablet to the memory of General Knox. The Mary-
land Society has erected a monument at Old Wye. to the memory of
William Paca, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and first
Governor of Maryland. The Newburgh Chapter of the Empire State
Society presented McDonald's bust of Washington to a grammar school.

This enumeration is incomplete, and these examples are mentioned
in order to make record of the fact that this form of patriotic work
still appeals to the members of our Society as fitting to be done. Every
monument and tablet and statue is an epic in bronze or stone telling
the story of holy purpose, loyal devotion, patient suffering, heroic
achievement, and glorious victory.

Washington, in one or another phase of his character or career,
still holds chief place as topic for addresses on patriotic occasions, and
it is natural and fitting that it should be so. for Washington does, and
forever will, fill the largest place and be the dominant patriotic, moral,
and educational force in the ante-bellum history of our country.

Among the topics discussed at functions of our Society the following
are very suggestive and indicate earnest and thoughtful patriotism :

"Our country's welfare our private concern, and he who promotes
that best performs his dut^^"

"Lest we forget — we pursue the work of educating the men and
women of tomorrow in patriotism — lest we forget." ,

During the last year the Iowa Society has continued the fine patriotic
and educational work begun in 1907. and has awarded fifteen medals
to college students and an equal number to pupils in high schools. The
purpose in offering these medals is to stimulate patriotic thought in
the student bodv in the studv of United States history. Other Societies
have offered and are awarding medals as prizes for best essays on

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. lOI

Revolutionary subjects in colleges and schools, but Iowa appears to
be doing this work more systematically and extensively than any other
State, and is to be commended for its good work. All "our State Socie-
ties and local Chapters are urged to make that a leading feature of their
patriotic and educational work, for. to our thinking, there is no more
promising and fruitful educational work done by the Sons of the
American Revolution than, first, this, and, next, the persistent and
intelligent distribution of the two leaflets, "Information for Immi-
grants" and "Naturalization.'' Confirmation of the importance and
usefulness of these leaflets was recently had in the statement made to
the Chairman of this Committee by Dr. Holmes, the Director of the
Bureau of Mines, that he had met with these leaflets in his wouk ; that
they were read by the_ imttiigrant miners, and were doing much good,
and that he hoped their use would become more general. Such testi-
mony from this source ought to encourage an:' stimulate effort for
their wider and more thoughtful distribution.

It is recommended that authority be given to the Chairman of the
Committee to draw on the Treasurer General of the Society, through
the Secretary General, for stationery, postage, and other necessary
expenses, in an amount not to exceed twenty dollars ($20.00).
Fraternally,

Cii.vRLES Lym.\n, Chairman.

Judge BeardslEv : I move that the report be accepted and placed
on file, with a vote of thanks to the committee, and that the recom-
mendation as to an appropriation for the Committee be referred to
the Board of Trustees for action.

Doctor GuYER : Mr. President General, in seconding that motion I
would like to state an incident that occurred in connection with our
work along this line in Colorado. Compatriot Tuttle, accompanied by
a minister of the Episcopal Church and myself, went down to one
of the schools in that part of Denver where the foreigners lived and
presented them with a flag. The school had laid aside their work, and
the minister and Compatriot Tuttle made admirable addresses upon
the question of why they should be Americans. A few days afterward
one of the teachers in the school had a little spare time, and she
thought to test the children as to the impression that had been made
upon them, and she called on them to state what nationality their
parents came from, and what nationality they belonged to. One said:
"My mother is an Italian ;" another said, "My father is an Irishman ;"
and so on, until she came to one bright little girl, with face all aglow,
and she got up and said : "My father is an Irishman and my mother
is an Italian, but I am an American !"' (Applause and laughter.)

(The motion as made and seconded was put to a vote and carried.)

The President General: In that connection. I take great personal
pride in relating an incident that occurred recently in the city of New
York. Professor Thomas, whom I have the great honor to claim as
a brother-in-law, who is a professor of history in one of our colleges,
has written a history of the United States which is now a text-book
in the State of New York, as well as in other States. A representative
of the Hebrew Educational Alliance went to .his publishers and asked
for the privilege of republishing that history in the English and Yid-

I02 SOXS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

dish languages, in parallel columns, for use among the Hebrew popu-
lation on the East Side of New York. This privilege was granted by
both the author and publisher, and the Hebrew Educational Alliance
have now undertaken and are doing that work. (Applause ) That
shows that our Hebrew friends are deeply interested in the subject
of American patriotism.

(The motion to accept, with a vote of thanks, was put to a vote and
carried.)

The President General: The next committee to report will be that
of the Flag Committee, of which Compatriot W. V. Cox, of Washing-
ton City, is Chairman.

In the absence of the Chairman (who was present in Louisville on
April 30, but called to Nashville on important business), and no mem-
ber of the Committee being present. Judge Beardsley read the report,
at the request of the Secretary General.

REPORT OF COM^HTTEE ON PREVENTION OF DESE-
CRATION OF THE FLAG.

Compatriots : Your Special Flag Committee begs to report that it
was represented at the last hearing before the Judiciary Committee of
the United States House of Representatives on Mr. Goulden's bill
to prevent and punish the desecration or improper use of the flag of
the United States of America.

Representatives from various societies were also present. Your
Chairman argued that as the flag was a creation of Federal law, it
should be protected from improper uses by a national law. It was
pointed out that the flags and symbols of all civilized countries but
ours were protected by law, and as Congress had the power to create,
it also had the power to protect its creation, and should do so without
further dela)'. Much interest was manifested by the members of the
Committee in the facts and illustrations submitted, but without receiv-
ing any report from the Committee. Congress adjourned without
action, as it has done many times before.

To present definite data to Congressional committees, the Flag Com-
mittee has conducted an extensive correspondence with the Secretaries
of the various States, to definitely ascertain in what States laws had
been enacted to prevent the use of the flag for advertising and pur-
poses other than those intended by the founders of the Republic.
Courteous replies were received from most of the officials addressed,
who, in States where laws were in force, enclosed copies of the same,
expressing a desire to further co-operate with the Committee in
securing Federal legislation.

The States that reported having flag laws were Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont. New York,
New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Michigan. Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Kansas, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, and California.
It is also understood that Maryland and Montana have such laws,
though definite replies were not received.

The States that reported having no flag law were Virginia, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama. Georgia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Florida. Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming.

No replies were received from Arizona. Arkansas. Alaska, Hawaii,
New Mexico. Mississippi. Oregon, Porto Rico and Washington, in
some of which laws protecting the flag are known to be in force.

PROCEEDINGS OF EOUISVILEK CONGRESS. lO^

The Secretary of State of Georgia says: "Georgia can not legislate
concerni^ng the National Flag, but we have a law preventing the use
of the State Flag for advertising purposes."

The flag laws are nearly identical, all States desiring to protect the
National Flag by State legislation, made necessary by the absence of
Federal law.

The State laws have proven effective. In New York, for instance,
when the attention of Governor Hughes was called to a certain flagrant
misuse of the flag in the advertisement of an ammonia company, he
directed the district attorney, Mr. Whitman, to institute proceedings,
which he did. To the credit of all concerned, the case did not go to
trial, the owners agreeing to discontinue the offensive advertisement.

A case in New Jersey, somewhat similar, was settled in like manner,
the defendants, manufacturers of spring beds, paying all the costs.

The Superintendent of the United States Capitol, Mr. Elliott Woods,
has shown much interest and has been diligently correcting the misuse
of the representation of the Nation's symbols by removing the same
from mosaic pavements at the Capitol, over which the lawmakers have
walked for over a generation.

The Committee has been in communication with the Librarian of
Congress with a view of preventing the further misuse of the flag in;
the issue of copyrights. It is stated by the Librarian that during the-
last two years all applications to copyright pictures embodying in any-
way the country's flag have been carefully scrutinized and registration'
refused to such as resembled a trade-mark or made any objectionable-
use of the flag.

The Librarian says that it is only by a broad interpretation of his
authority that the Register of Copyrights is able to proceed as far as.
he has done.

It is recommended that the attention of the President of the United"
States be called to the defective law mentioned by the Librarian of
Congress, with a view of securing his recommendation to have the
act amended, forbidding the Register of Copyrights to issue copyrights
in which the symbol of government is prostituted to improper uses.
Congress, by the Act of 1907, forbid the Commissioner of Patents
to authorize the registration of trade-marks "if such mark consists
of or comprises the Flag or Coat-of-Arms or other insignia of the
United States, or any simulation thereof." (34 Stat. L-, 1251.)

Congress should also forbid the authorization of registration of
copyrights in which the symbol of government is improperly used.
Respectfully submitted,

W. V. Cox, Chairman.

Mr. Stephenson, of Kentucky: I move that the report of the Com-
mittee be received, with the thanks of this Congress for the work
which has been done on this most important subject.

Mr. SuLGROVE, of Montana, suggested a correction of the report as
to Montana, claiming that that State had a law against desecration of
the Flag, and Dr. Iglehart suggested a similar correction as to Mary-
land, making the same claim. The motion of Mr. Stephenson, dul.v
seconded, and with the understanding that the report would be re-
ceived subject to the corrections indicated by the gentlemen from
Montana and Maryland, was put to a vote and carried.

The President General: The next report is that of the Committee
on National Parks, and in the absence of the Chairman I will ask
Treasurer General Burroughs to read that report.

I04 SOXS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTIOX.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON NATIONAL PARKS.

Compatriots : The Chairman of your Committee on National Parks
has the honor to report that at a meeting held several months ago
the territory constituting the field of the American Revolution was
divided up between the members and each one requested to investigate
and report concerning the activities within his jurisdiction in regard
to public parks relating to the War for Independence. Reports have
been received only from the following States :

NEW YORK.

New York has done much to preserve places identified with her
Revolutionary annals. Washington's headquarters at Newburgh were
taken by the State in 1849 for a State reservation. In 1887 the State
took the famous Senate House at Kingston; in 1895 erected the Sara-
toga Battle Monument; in 1897 created the Stony Point Battlefield
Reservation ; in 1898 the Lake George Battlefield Reservation ; in 1900
took the Clinton House at Poughkeepsie ; in 1904 established the Fort
Brewerton Reservation.

It has also created many public parks chiefly of scenic interest, but
also with historical associations. Among such may be mentioned the
Niagara Falls Reservation, the Palisades Interstate Park, the Spy Island
Reservation, the Sir William Johnston Mansion and Block House at
Johnstown, Watkins Glen Reservation, the Philipse Manor Hall in
Yonkers. the Fire Island State Park, the Adirondack Forest Preserve,
the Catskill Forest Preserve, and the St. Lawrence Reservation. During
the past year it has taken the Schuyler Mansion in Albany for a public
monument. Many of these undertakings since the organization of the
S. A. R. have had its hearty endorsement and co-operation. In the
city of New York the creation of the Washington's Headquarters Park
in i6oth Street was largely promoted by our Society. We have also
been instrumental in the erection of various tablets and monuments,
notably that at Dobbs Ferry and that at Fort Washington, in New
York City. The Society is now arranging to dedicate, on iMemorial
Day, a tablet to be placed on old St. Paul's Church in Eastchester, New
York City, commemorating the history of that venerable church, which
was used as a hospital during the Revolution and which stands on a
Revolutionary training ground.

On account of the many historical events connected with this State,
there is abundant opportunity for continuing this work of historical
commemoration.

Not the least of the recent successful efforts of the Society has been
the removal of the new State's prison from the proposed site near
Stony Point to another site without historical associations.

NEW JERSEY.

From the Rev. John Hobart Egbert, our Compatriot of Chatham,
N. J., we learn that there has been some excellent work done at Spring-
field, N. J., during the year in connection with the Revolutionary ceme-
tery at that point. The grounds have been graded and beautified, the
approaches and entrance improved, and they have been adorned by the
building of broad concrete steps. A flagstaff fifty feet high has been
erected and bears a beautiful flag on all national occasions. The per-
manent right of way from the public highway has been secured, and
a marker large enough to attract the attention of travefers passing
along the main thoroughfare has been placed conspicuously indicating
the location of the cemetery. A custodian of the grounds has been
secured to keep them in order.

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUtSVTEEE CONGRESS. I05

It is suggested that the beautiful tract of from 20 to 50 acres adjoin-
ing the cemetery at Springfield be purchased, as it is believed that the
property can be acquired at a very reasonable figure.

The project for the creation of a National Park on the Delaware
River at Trenton, to commemorate the crossing of the Delaware by
Washington on the night of Christmas, 1776, has aroused widespread
interest, and it is earnestly to be hoped that it will be carried to a
successful issue.

PENNSYL\^\NIA.

From Compatriot Moses Veale, President of the Philadelphia Chap-
ter, we learn that the S. A. R. have taken an active interest in urging
the Federal Government and the municipal governments to acquire
and preserve forest reservations and parks, and that they have met
with great success. Pennsylvania is interested equally with New Jersey
in the creation of the reservation to mark Washington's crossing of the
Delaware. It would be desirable if beautiful parks could be created
on the two sides of the river, including the termini of the crossing,
and. if practicable, that some ornamental bridge or passageway be con-
structed across the river.

OHIO.

In Ohio we learn from Compatriot W. L. Curr}- that the S. A. R.
have located the graves of a number of Revolutionary soldiers during
the past year and had them marked with bronze tablets. This work
has been going on for several years, with a result that upwards of
2,500 graves have been located. The law relating to the marking of
soldiers' graves, largely through the influence of the Ohio Society
S. A. R., has been amended to include soldiers of the Revolution.

Compatriot Curry renews his recommendation that a tablet should
be placed in the Museum of American History in Patriots' Hall, Val-
ley Forge, to perpetuate the sacrifices and heroic deeds of the Revolu-
tionary ancestors of the Ohio Society, S. A. R., who were at Valley
Forge in the winter of 1777-1778.

Compatriot A. B. Johnson reports that in Hardin County, Ohio, is
the site of Fort Mc Arthur, which was built during the War of 1812
and which it would be desirable to have taken for a public park. It
is located about three miles west of Kenton, on the south bank of the
Scioto River.

perry's victory.

The approach of the one hundredth anniversary of Perr\^'s victory
has aroused the interest of many States in its commemoration, and
various suggestions have been made. One is for the erection of a
memorial bridge at Niagara Falls; another is the erection of a memo-
rial tower at Toledo. As the War of 1812 was really an addendum
of the War for Independence, the Sons of the American Revolution
might properly take measures for promoting the general commem-
oration of Perry's victory and a little later the centennial of the
anniversary of peace with Great Britain, which has remained unbroken
since the second war with that country.

Respectfully submitted, Edward Hagaman Hall,

Chairman.

The President General: Gentlemen, what is your pleasure regarding
this report of the Committee on National Parks?

General GrEElEy : I move that the report be accepted.

Colonel Mack : Mr. President General, in regard to Perry's Victory,
Congress has already appropriated $7S.ooo for a monument in Put-in-

I06 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Bay, where Perry made ready before going out to make his attack
on the British, and the State of Ohio has also appropriated money for
that purpose, and so have the States of Kentucky and Indiana and
other States. That is expected to be one of the greatest celebrations
of its kind we have ever had.

(The motion as made and seconded was duly carried.)

REPORT OF PRESS COMMITTEE.

**» The President General: The next report is that of the Press Com-
mittee, of which Secretary General Clark is Chairman, and he will
make that report.

Mr. Clark : I have nothing special to say, except that the Press Com-
mittee has done some work during the j^ear by sending out some arti-
cles which have been published throughout the country through press
syndicates, and the work of the Society has been kept before the pub-
lic in a most dignified way. I would like to call upon one of the mem-
bers of the Press Committee, Mr. Edwin S. Crandon, President of
the Massachusetts Society, who can tell us about the good work the
Boston Evening Transcript has been doing in this line.

Mr. Crandon : Although this request of ISIr. Clark's that I speak of
the particular work of the paper with which I am connected comes
to me unexpectedly, I appreciate very much this opportunity of saying
a word for the gentlemen of my profession at this time. It is true
that I am connected with a Boston newspaper, although not in charge
of what might be called its "patriotic department." But if you will
allow me to talk impersonalh", as a member of the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution, and forget for the moment that I am connected with
a particular paper, but simply that I am a member of the press, I hope
I may sa}^ a few words that will be helpful. If any of you can get
up next to the newspaper men, of course 3'ou will do it, always ; but
those who have come in contact with papers in connection with patriotic
work realize that there is no work under the heavens that can be
more properly subjected to criticism' than that of a part of the press
which is making a great deal of American history for us today. I
am not going to argue the merits of the "White Press" against the
"Yellow Press," but I do say that the press is largely what its readers
demand; and that there are papers, many of them, which do not stand
for an educational, moral or patriotic tone. I admit that, as a member
of my profession. That there are others that would drag down and
debase is equally plain.

Now. we have a paper in Boston that, years ago, was an eight-page
paper that sold for four cents. Today it has thirty to over fifty pages
and sells for three cents. That particular paper has from four to five
columns of news matter devoted entirely and exclusively to the patriotic
societies. The idea originated with our paper about the time our
Societies began to get busy, and it went into it as a matter of news,
because manv of its readers were interested in these Societies. The

PROCEEJDINGS OF I.OUISVII.LE CONGRESS. lOJ

members of our Societies in the Commonwealth, and many in other
States, learned that there was one newspaper that would print all they
would give it, subject, of course, to the editorial blue pencil. And so
we have in the Transcript every week matters received from the mem-
bers of the Sons of the American Revolution and kindred societies all
over the country. The idea was found to be a good one. We have
three other papers in the city of Boston that have departments of
similar nature, making four dailies in all, besides several weekly papers,
which have several columns devoted to these patriotic societies.

I am very glad to have had this privilege of being accorded an oppor-
timity to say a word for the* press, and I want to conclude by saying
that as you find the press, as I have indicated, in any one part of the
country is anxious to co-operate with you, aid your Press Committee by
remembering and acting on the motto on the seal of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts — the first seal — "Come over and help us." (Applause.)

Mr. Dewey, of Vermont: The splendid remarks of Mr. Crandon
remind me that we in Vermont know the value of the work of the
editor and newspaper man. In Montpelier we have a paper that gives
us full recognition, for the Secretary of our State Society is a news-
paper man, and we have held him in that position for fifteen years.
There is no trouble with us in getting any patriotic work done by us in
the papers.

(On motion made and seconded, the report of the Committee was
ordered received.)

The President General: The next committee to report will be the
Committee on Pensions and Muster Rolls, Col. Gilbert C. Kniffin, of
Washington City, Chairman.

Colonel Kniffin : Before reading this report, I might say that I am
in charge of the Revolutionary records in the Pension Office, and they
are being prepared under my supervision. (Applause.)

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PENSION AND MUSTER

ROLLS.

Col. Gilbert C. Kniftin, Chairman, Washington, D. C. ; Zebina Moses,
Washington, D. C. ; Major E. B. Tolman, Chicago, 111.; Luther Atwood,
Lynn, Mass.; Col. R. W. Guthrie, Pittsburg. Pa.; Col. D. Russ Wood,
Terre Haute, Tnd. ; Charles Kingsbury Miller, Chicago, 111.

Compatriots : There is little to add to the report made last year by
Compatriot Zebina Moses, then Chairman of this Committee.

Delay in the completion of the work of carding the records is not
owing to lack of interest in it on the part of the Commissioner of Pen-
sions, nor to lack of industry by the clerical force assigned by him to
the work, but solely to the condition of the papers contained in the
Revolutionary War claims, which is such as to require the most careful
handling to prevent irreparable injury. Many are broken at the folds
and require mending. Every precaution against the loss of the smallest
scrap of paper is taken, as it mav be a part of an important link in the
military or personal history of the soldier.

When in November, 1907. the Revolutionary records were transferred'

I08 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

from the Old War to the Record Division of the Bureau of Pensions,
for the purpose of carding, a section was formed under charge of Miss
Annie E. Wilson, a zealous, intelligent, and most competent clerk.
Under her management her corps of efficient clerks have pushed the
work of flat filing the pension claims as rapidly as proper care of the
papers contained in them would permit.

There are on file over 74,000 claims for pension filed by Revolutionary
soldiers and widows. They were originally arranged numerically with-
out regard to the name of the soldier, the State from which he enlisted,
or the branch of the service to which he was assigned — infantry, cavalry
or artillery.

The ultimate design being to arrange the cards alphabetically, it soon
developed that this could not be accomplished until the last card was
written. It was then determined that the most expeditious method that
could be adopted, in order that the names of all soldiers and their
widows might be arranged alphabetically, would be to arrange the
claims in that manner. While this is being done the wrappers are taken
off, the papers straightened, and, when found to be torn, repaired and
placed in large square en\elopes endorsed with the name of the soldier,
and his service, the number of the claim and the name of his widow, if
one survived.

These claims thus flat filed are placed in file cases and arranged
alphabetically. This work is nearly completed, and when done the
records will be ready for carding. The cards will contain the military
history of the soldier, the names of his wife and children and relations
so far as shown in the claims. They will also be filed alphabetically,
and will form a ready reference from which inquiries for genealogy
may be promptly answered. During the past year 4,279 such inquiries
have been replied to.

In calling for information relating to Revolutionary ancestry, the full
name of the soldier, the State where he enlisted, the names of his com-
manding officers, the given name of his wife, with approximate date of
soldier's death, should, if possible, be given, but if the writer has no
other knowledge of his ancestry than that the soldier lived in a certain
State when he enlisted, this fact should be stated, together with any
other circumstances connected with his service in the army.

Many letters of inquiry are returned with request for data to guide
the search for a remote ancestor who may or may not have had Revolu-
tionary service.

In 1832 the law was enacted under which Revolutionary soldiers were
pensioned, and they were called upon for statements of their military
service. Half a century had passed since these old soldiers had been
mustered out of service, and like nearly all old soldiers, even those of
the present day. they were poor in purse, but rich in memories of the
glorious War for the Independence of their native land and justly
proud of the part they had performed. A vast amount of unprinted
history is contained in the simple annals of the times that tried men's
souls. Thus the sentry on guard in front of the headquarters of General
Benedict Arnold at West Point tells how Arnold rode up the river
from an interview with the British fleet commander, entered his room,
where he remained but a few minutes, mounted his horse and rode
rapidly away.

In her petition for a pension Hannah, the widow of Isaac Davis,
captain of a company of Minute Men. killed at Concord Bridge April
19. 1/75. who with Abner Hosmer, were the only men killed, after firing
the shot that was heard around the world, tells the story of this battle.

The ride of Paul Revere is historic and the battle has been immortal-
ized in song and story. Captain Davis, hastily collecting his company,
marched to Concord. His widow thus describes their parting : "He had !

PROCKEDIxXGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. IO9

four children, from one to ten years of age. the)' were all sick. He was
strongly attached to them and had a presentiment that he would not
return. He well knew his danger, but he was a stranger to fear. Be-
tween him and his company there was strong attachment and unlimited
conhdence. When he had ordered the company to be formed at the
door of the house and all things were ready for the march, he turned to
me as if to take leave, but his heart was too full for words. He could
only say, 'Take good care of the children.' and immediately with firm
step and voice he was on the march to Concord," where he came to his
death.

The personal history of Enoch Crosby, the original of Fenimore
Cooper's "Spy," under the name of Harvey Birch, is replete with start-
Hng incidents of his perilous calling. The capture by the Committee of
Safety of several companies of Tories, forming for the purpose of
joining the British army at New York, was due to the vigilance and
dauntless courage of this noted sp3\

This is how General Putnam's orderly described the famous ride
down the stone steps : "A few days after I enlisted, the British, a part
of General Tryon's forces, attacked our men stationed near the meeting-
house. A cannon or two opened upon the enemy until they approached in
so great force and so near that General Putnam ordered the men to
retreat and save themselves the best they could.

"He also retreated on his horse at full speed, pursued closely by the
British horse. He rode down a flight of stone teps, the top of which
was about sixty rods from the meeting-house. He did not ride down
more than fifteen or twenty of them (there being, I think, about one
hundred of them on the whole) and then dismouted and led his horse
down as fast as possible. I was at the bottom of the steps as soon as he
was.

"He then mounted his horse, told me to make my escape to a swamp
not far off, and he rode away. By this time the British horse, who had
gone around the hill by the usual traveled road, came in sight in
pursuit. I ran toward the swamp. One of the dragoons took after me.
As I was getting over a stone wall, he overtook me. He halloed, 'Stop,
you little devil, or I'll take your head off.' I surrendered."

There are graphic narratives of campaigns and battles and suffering by
soldiers in winter quarters, of the return to their homes, footsore and
weary. There were no palace cars for soldiers in those days, when
Johnny came marching home.

It is probable that a satisfactory report will be made at the next
Congress. Meantime the flat filing of the claims and the subsequent
carding of the records will be prosecuted with diligence and with due
regard to the value to the descendants of the soiled and broken papers
contained in these pension claims, in many of which there are auto-
graphs of inestimable value, which are carefully guarded from col-
lectors.

With regard to the ultimate publication of the records of the Revolu-
tion as contained in the personal narratives of the survivors, the papers
above referred to are not suitable for printer's copy. They are in so
dilapidated a condition that they cannot be allowed to leave the custody
of the Government. The autographs of historic characters are of great
value to collectors, and must be, as they now arc, guarded with jealous
care. If. after they have been carded, there should be some way de-
vised, by photography or otherwise, by which the original papers may
be put in type, I ani confident that the descendants of the brave de-
fenders of our liberties will consider the cost of publication money well
expended.

Gilbert C. Kniffin,

Chairman.

no SONS OF THE AMKRICAX REVOLUTION.

Colonel Kniffin : If there is any question that any delegate would
like to ask concerning an\- matter I have not made plain in this report,
I will be glad to answer him. You must understand that these claims
are very old, and have been rolled up tight like this (indicating). Many
of them were carried in the pockets of these men that were mustered
out of service in 1783, carried on their backs, and of course they are
not in the best condition and have to be handled very carefully.

Mr. Dewey, of Vermont : I would like to ask a question of Colonel
Kniffin for information. Some of our Grand Army men had occasion
to look up some records, and they found where a certain man was in
the Massachusetts Regiment and became a sergeant. At four different
times his name appeared on the pension rolls, and three times he was
dropped. His descendants stated, in taking the oath, that they were not
able to support themselves. Can you answer why that was done? I
know of three other cases, w^here the parties had good records — where
one man was wounded, and his brother was killed, and the other was
shot in the leg, and afterwards became an elder or preacher at Mont-
pelier, in the early historic days. None of these ever received a pension,
or ever applied for one, as far as I know.

Colonel Kniffin : That may be true. There are a vast number of
rejected claims. And there is another thing: \'OU must bear in mind
that these are pension claims, and many of our ancestors were well oft
and did not care to apply for a pension, and we have only those that
did apply, where the pension was allowed or rejected.

Colonel Guthrie : As a member of the Pension Committee, whose
report has just been made b}^ Colonel Kniffin, I wish to say that this
is the unanimous report of the committee, but that all the work was
done by Colonel Kniffin, and therefore I wish to ask the Congress to
accept the report and spread it upon the minutes, with a vote of thanks
to Colonel Kniffin.

Judge Beardsley: One word of information to Colonel Dewey. I
think no soldier received a Revolutionary pension unless he was in
needy circumstances, and I know of one or two instances in Connecti-
cut where men deeded their property away to their children in order
that they might become eligible. (Laughter.)

The President General: That puts a little different phase on the
character of the Connecticut men from that of the Vermont men.

Mr: MooRES : Over at Frankfort, Ky., in the land office, there are
records of Revolutionary land grants made by Virginia, issued for a
thousand acres of land, if I remember. I examined them with a good
deal of interest. I want to ask if there is any record of the services
of these men, to whom these grants were made, kept either in Virginia
or by the Federal government.

Colonel Kniffin : This would come under the head of Bounty Land
Claims.

Mr. MoorES : These grants were from Virginia. One is signed by
Governor Henry Lee, I remember.

Colonel Kniffin : There was a vast number of them in mountain
land claims.

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVII.LE CONGRESS. Ill

Mr. IMoorEs : They could be located in Washington?

Colonel Kniffin : Yes, sir.

Mr. SpanglEr: I have had twenty years' experience in the Pension
Bureau ; and, speaking with reference to the inquiry of Colonel Dewey,
you will find that many of the pension claims on account of Revolu-
tionary services were granted on account of destitution and for services
rendered, and you will find in nearly every case the applicant states the
value of his property. They were required to explain this and notify
the Pension Department at the time just what thej' possessed, and in
nearly every case there is a certified statement as to their property,
going into the fullest details — into small matters that would not be
regarded as worth anything at the present time at all.

Mr. MooRES : Do the land claims granted by the Commonwealth of
Virginia on account of Revolutionary services give the name of the
soldier?

Mr. Sp.\nglEr: Yes; they were granted without regard to property,
and were granted for services in the Revolutionary War, mostly to
officers ; and many of these land grants were in what is now other
States, but granted by Virginia.

Mr. Wentworth : Is that true of other States?

Mr. SpanglEr: I think so.

Mr. Steele : I wish to present to the Congress between now and the
adjournment a set of resolutions, or a copy of certain resolutions,
passed by the Daughters of the American Revolution a week ago in
Washington, and later on I wish to present them, at their request. It
follows along the line of the petition to Congress at this time, of not
only publishing, eventually, the pension records, but the land-bounty
claims, and all other records showing the services of these soldiers in
the Revolutionary War. I will bring that up at a later time.

Colonel Guthrie : We have in our Pennsylvania archiv^es almost
a complete list of all the land grants of the Revolution. These volumes
are published, and can be easily acquired.

The Secretary General : The Virginia land grants for service in
the Revolution were published by the State about the year 1832 or

1835.

Mr. SpanglEr: Since that motion has been made, I desire to second
it, with a vote of thanks to Colonel Kniffin .

Colonel Thompson : I move to amend that the report be printed
in the Year Book.

(Motion as seconded and amended was put to a vote and carried.)

The President General: The Report of the Committee on Infor-
mation for Aliens, Commander Moore. Chairman, is next in order.
In the absence of the Chairman, I will call on Secretary General
Clark to read tliat report, inasmuch as be is also a member of that
Committee.

112 SONS OF the; AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON INFORMATION FOR

ALIENS.

Washington, D. C, April 26, 191 1.

The Committee has had quite an active year in distributing leaflets
and attending to the correspondence which has been constant through-
out the year.

It is pleasing to note that greater interest in our leaflets has been
taken in the night schools of several of our larger cities, and that large
numbers have been distributed by them. We know of no better way in
which the alien can be reached than through the night schools. We
therefore recommend that every effort be made to interest the principals
of our night schools in their distribution.

Because we have distributed thousands of leaflets this year is no
reason why the work should cease during the coming year.

Such seems to be the reasoning of some of our Chapters and Socie-
ties. They do magnificent work for one year and then stop. The alien
comes and goes and we always have them with us, and it is only through
constant, persistent work that we are to be able to assist them. The
coming year should see our Society take a new hold of this grand
work and exceed anything that has been done in the past.

Last September we received a letter from our compatriot. Senator
Dillingham, Chairman of the Immigration Commission, which was about
to make its report to Congress, asking for certain information from our
Committee.

We give our answer in full :

CoAiMiTTEE ON Information for Aliens,

Sons of the American Revolution,
Washington, D.C, Septen-iber 20. 1910.

Com. John H. Moore, U. S. N., Chairman; Hon. Charles Lyman,
A. Howard Clark.

Hon. William P. Dillingham,

Chairman of the Immigration Commission, Washington, D. C,

My DE-A-R Sir : We thank you for the opportunity you have given to
the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution to place
on file the results of its work during the past three years with the alien.

We will answer your questions seriatim.

ist. Origin and purpose of the Society's work for immigrants.

In the constitution of our Society, under the heading of Purposes and
Objects, will be found, among other provisions, the following: "To
foster true patriotism and to maintain and extend the institutions of
American freedom." In 1907, when the immigration to this country
reached the unparalleled number of one million and a half, the Sons of
the American Revolution felt that the time had come for them to take
some action towards aiding the assimilation of this vast and motley
horde. This question was taken up and discussed at the National
Congress, held at Denver in 1907. with the result that a Committee on
Information for Aliens was created. At the meeting of the Executive
Committee a plan was outlined and over one-half the income of the
Society was appropriated to carry on the work.

2d. Character and extent of work done.

A small leaflet was prepared, written in the most simple English,
entitled "Information for Immigrants Concerning tlie United States : Its.
Opportunities. Government, and Institutions," a copy of which is ap-
pended and marked A.

proce;edings of louisville congress. 113

This leaflet was translated and printed in the following languages-
English, Italian, Yiddish, Polish, Magyar, Slovinian, Slovak. Croatian^
Swedish, Greek, Bohemian, German, Norwegian, Danish, and Lithua-
nian. It was copied entire in a large number of the daily papers through-
out the country and by most of the papers printed in a foreign language.

Our State Societies and Chapters took the matter up and local
committees were appointed to attend to its distribution.

Manufacturers, mining companies, employers of labor, settlement
workers, and other patriotic societies became interested in the work, with
the result that hundreds of thousands of leaflets were distributed among
our alien population. The night schools in several of our largest
cities were very helpful, as the leaflet was carried home, where it could
be read by all members of the family.

Two years' work showed the need of further instructions, so a second
leaflet was prepared and printed, entitled "Naturalization of aliens in the
United States : How to become citizens ; what is required ; rights and
duties," a copy of which is appended, marked B.

This leaflet has been distributed in large numbers. It has not been
printed in any foreign language, as our Committee did not deem it
wise, in view of the fact that an alien must speak English to a certain
extent before he can become naturalized.

3d. Results.

We can only judge of the results obtained through this work by
the reports we have received from our numerous State Societies and
Chapters. Judging by them, we do not hesitate to state that the work
has been very beneficial. The leaflets in most cases have been grate-
fully received and often have been sought for.

4th. What, in your opinion, can the National Government do to
assist immigrants on their arrival at United States ports?

After three years' co-operation work with the Division of Infor-
mation of the Department of Commerce and Labor, we do not hesitate
to state that its scope should be largely increased by the establishment
of branch offices in the large cities where the immigrants go upon their
arrival at the seaboard. The tendency of the immigrant is to remain
at the port where he lands. Anything that will induce him to go
inland will be beneficial. At our seaports he is at the mercy of large
numbers of "Intelligence offices." where he is robbed and in many cases
treated unmercifully. By increasing the scope of the Division of Infor-
mation, all this could be largely obliterated.

5th. What, in your opinion, can the National Government do to pro-
mote the assimilation or Americanization of immigrants?

The Government taxes every immigrant four dollars before he is
allowed to land. This sum is sufficient to admit of the Government
doing something for the immigrant after he lands. In our opinion, the
Government should do everything it can to induce the immigrant to
leave our congested cities and spread out over the land. _ Where there
are but a few immigrants they quickly become Americanized, and it is
only a question of time when they become assimilated. We would most
earnestly recommend for this purpose the establishment of branch
offices of the Division of Information of the Department of Commerce
and Labor in all our cities where large numbers of immigrants are
landed, and. further, that branch offices of the same division be estab-
lished at Chicago and St. Louis and later at some points in the South
like Atlanta.

We do not think it for the best that our Government should go as
far as the German Government has in the establishment of "Intelligence
offices." but we do think that our present plan of assisting the immigrant
through the Division of Information of the Department of Commerce
and Labor should be expanded and enlarged.

Respectfully, John H. MoorE, Chairman.

It is a pleasure to state that the same pleasant relationship between
your Committee and the Department of Commerce and Labor con-
tmues, and when the Department is ready to establish its branch offices
of the Division of Information, which we hope to see done shortly,
our Society should lend a helping hand in making them a success in
their endeavors to transfer the alien from the congested districts to the
sparsely settled sections.

Respectfully, Jnq. H. Moore,

Chairman, Committee on Information for Aliens.

The President General: What is the pleasure of the Congress as
to this report?

Mr. Bacon : I move that the report be accepted and placed on file,
with the thanks of the Congress to the gentlemen who have made it.

(Motion seconded by Mr. Dix and Mr. Paine and carried.)

The President General: The next report is that of the Committee
on Jefferson Memorial, Rear Admiral George W. Baird, U. S. N..
Chairman. I will ask him to read that report.

COMMITTEE ON JEFFERSON MEMORIAL.

The President General : Your Committee on the Jefferson Memorial
begs leave to report that the measure to appropriate $100,000 for the
purpose of placing a memorial to Thomas Jefferson in the City of
Washington was passed in the third session of the Sixty-first Con-
gress in the Senate, but was thrown out in conference.

During the current session of Congress (first session of the Sixty-
second Congress) Senator Bacon, of Georgia, succeeded in getting a
measure through the Senate for the appropriation, and it was done on
that Senator's recommendation, without reference to a committee. This
is something very unusual, and but for the fact that it had twice pre-
viously passed the Senate and for the profound respect Senator Bacon,
of Georgia, is held in, it would have been impossible.

The measure is now pending in the House of Representatives, and
the Senator from Georgia is using his good offices to assist the bill
there. We believe the appropriation will be made during this Congress.
With great respect, your servants,

G. W. Baird.

George Tully Vaughan.

Caleb C. Magruder, Jr.

The President General: What is your pleasure regarding the report
of this Committee?

Mr. Williams, of New Jersey: I move that the report be accepted
and placed on file, and that the Congress pass a vote of thanks to the
Chairman for the able manner in which he has done his work.

(Motion duly seconded and carried.)

The President General: The next report is that of the Committee
on Advance Work, Compatriot Nelson A. McClary, Chairman. I will
ask him to present the report.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON ADVANCE WORK.

Your Committee, which under a resolution adopted by the Toledo
Congress was appointed "to take under advisement some plan of
work which shall carry out the purposes of the Society, as above

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. II5

expressed, to the end that the Society shall interest itself in matters
of present-day importance and by such work attract large numbers to
membership," begs to report :

First. That it has, as it was bound to do, taken into consideration
the resolution adopted by the Congress immediately after the adoption
of the resolution just quoted, to-wit, that the said resolution "as to
subject-matter, other than the appointment of the committee, be re-
ferred to the Executive Committee, in order that the committee to be
appointed may have the advantage of any suggestions which the Execu-
tive Committee may be able to give them."

Second. That it has received no suggestions from the Executive Com-
mittee concerning any proposed departure or new work.

Third. That, in the opinion of your Committee, no radical departure
from the lines of work already laid down by the Society is either neces-
sary or desirable.

Respectfully submitted,

Edwin S. Greeley,

Edwin Warfield,

James Denton Hancock,

Morris B. Beardsley,

Nelson A. McClary, Chairman,

Committee.

(Motion made and seconded that the report be received and printed
in the Year Book. Carried.)

The President General : The next report is that of the Committee
on Investment of the Permanent Fund, of which I have the honor to
be Chairman. The Treasurer General has already submitted a com-
plete report on this subject.

GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL BUILDING.

The President General: The last committee in the regular list is
that of the Committee on George Washington Memorial Building. In
the absence of the chairman of that committee, I will ask the Secretary
General to make a report.

The Secretary General : The chairman is not present, and no report
has been submitted. I can state in a general way that there was sent
out, at the expense pf the Memorial Association, a circular mviting
contributions to this fund. The result of that, I think, was about $2,750
received and sent to the George Washington Memorial Association as
the response of members of this Society.

Judge Beardsley: As I understand, it is the purpose to devote this
building to the uses of patriotic and scientific societies, and it is the
intention to expend two millions of dollars in the erection of the build-
ing, with half a million more for other purposes. I see from the
papers that the first half million has been received.

Historian General Pierson : There has been raised $600,000, I
think. Mrs. Dimock, with her assistants, has established organizations
in every State, and a plan is under way to guarantee the entire fund,
so the building may be started next year.

The President General: The report of the Committee on Naval
Records is in the hands of Compatriot Clark and he will read it.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON NAVAL RECORDS.

Washington, D. C, April 26, 191 1.
During the past year progress has been made in indexing the Naval
Records of the Revolution and of gathering at the Navy Department
the Revolutionary Naval Records that have been stored in the other
Executive Departments.

Your Committee presented to the Secretary of the Navy a strong
argument in favor of not only continuing but extending the work, and
have received assurances that the work will be increased.

Respectfully, Jno. H. Moore,

Chairman, Committee on Naval Records.

(Motion made and seconded that the report be received and pub-
lished in the Year Book, and motion carried.)

The President General : The next thing in the order of business
will be the annual reports from State Societies.

Judge BeardslEy: What is the usual course in that matter, Mr.
President General? Can not time be saved here?

Doctor GuYER : I move that the reading of the reports be dispensed
with and that they appear as usual in the Year Book.

The President General: The customary method is to allow the
Secretary General to make abstracts for publication.

Judge BeardslEy : I move that the reports be duly accepted and
printed.

Doctor Guyer: I second that motion.

(The motion as seconded was carried.)

The California Society is gaining materially in membership and
prospering generally. The number of members on the roll at present
is 431, with 14 applications in hand. The activities of the Society
have not been numerous this year, and have been already reported to
and published in the monthly bulletins of the National Society. Two
meetings were planned but fell through owing to failure in perfecting
arrangements and obtaining speakers.

An infraction of the law relating to the desecration of the U. S.
flag by a fruit packing company in this city was discovered through
the vigilance of two members of this Society, whose prompt action in
the matter compelled the discontinuance of the use of a print of the
flag on their package labels.

An amendment to the Constitution of this Society to bring it in
conformity with the National Constitution has been submitted and will
be adopted at the annual meeting April 19th, striking out the words
"or as a civil officer, either of one of the Colonies or States or of the
National Government."

Under date of June 9, 1910, a Chapter was established at San Diego
with a membership of 16. It is designated "San Diego Chapter No. 2."

During the past year the Society has been in a flourishing condition.
It added new members equivalent to ten per cent of the total member-
ship one year ago today. A new Chapter was established at Fort
Collins on April 15. 191 1. The Denver Chapter in particular has been
full of activity during the year, holding regular monthly meetings at
the residences of members which have been well attended and well
worthv of attendance.

The' Board of Managers held five regular and five special meetings
since the last election. The Board authorized a quantity of literature

Il8 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

published, including the Chapter's monthly bulletins, the Year Book
issued last July, and a historical manual. Henceforth the Bulletin,
issued under the caption "The Spirit of Seventy Six," is to be edited
by the Educational Committee.

Special mention should be made of the many patriotic lectures and
entertainments given under the auspices of Denver Chapter in addi-
tion to the regular monthly meetings, all of w^hich have been announced
in the Bulletin from time to time. Particularly worthy of comment
is the prominent part taken by this Society through its Denver Chapter
in the last Fourth of July celebration. A safe and sane observance of
that day was conducted along purely patriotic lines, resulting in much
pleasure for all and in no loss of life, limb or property. A combina-
tion of over 30 patriotic, public and civic bodies under the title of "The
Denver Patriotic League" was responsible for holding probably the
most entirely successful celebration of this kind in our country. State
President Wardner Williams is President of the Denver Patriotic
Leagvie and among its most active workers are members of the Denver
Chapter, who are planning a bigger, better celebration for this year.

This is a patriotic work which should peculiarly appeal to members
of our Society. It could be profitably undertaken by other Chapters
of Colorado and elsewhere. Commenting on this subject, the Sec-
retary General in his last report states : "A feature of special interest
and importance during the year has been the patriotic celebrations by
local Chapters, particularly in Illinois, New Jersey, Colorado, Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. The result has been large
additions to membership and an incentive to the formation of Chapters
in other localities. There can be no doubt but that a fuller develop-
ment of the Chapter plan will increase the Society's numbers and in-
fluence."

We need more members and more Chapters in this State. No doubt
many are eligible for membership in Pueblo, Grand Junction, Boulder
and other cities of this Commonwealth. If they can be patriotically
interested in a profitable work — something that appeals to them as
beneficent and worth while — they will soon seek admission to our
Society, which will thus extend its patriotic influence in the making
of good citizens and the promotion of sound American principles.

Another feature of work undertaken by certain members of the
Colorado Society should be briefly commented upon with pride. I
refer to the organization of new State Societies by the Committee on
Organization of the North and West appointed by the National Society
and consisting of Compatriots Dr. Clarkson N. Guyer, Chairman; Jos.
F. Tuttle, Jr., and Frank Merriam Keezer. This committee has organ-
ized no less than six new State Societies in the past three years, as
follows: March. 1908, Wyoming; December, 1908, New Mexico; April,
1909, Idaho; February, 1910, Nevada; January, 191 1, South Dakota,
and Februar}^, 191 1, North Dakota. Compatriot H. T. Vaille also
assisted in organizing Wyoming. These achievements certainly reflect
the high degree of accomplishment possessed by some of our members,
and the record of their successful work should be duplicated by those
in similar authority in our State Society in the organization of State
Chapters. W. W. Kirby, Secretary.

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. II9

The Connecticut Society numbers 1,103 members, which inchides 51
new members that have been admitted since April i, 1910.

Five meetings of the Board of Alanagers have been held during the
year, with good attendance and great interest shown in the proceedings.
The graves of many Revolutionary soldiers and sailors have been
marked with the Society marker during the year.

A Field Day was held at Compo Beach, Westport, on June 17th,
and after the clam-bake at the beach a life-size bronze statue of "The
Minute Man" was unveiled with appropriate ceremonies. This statue
was designed by H. Daniel Webster and erected by the Society to com-
memorate the heroism of the patriots who defended their country when
the British, under General Tryon, invaded Connecticut in April, 1777.

General David Wooster, Colonel Abraham Gould, and more than
one hundred Continentals fell in the engagement at Ridgefield and
closing at Compo Hill. The ceremonies included singing by a High
School chorus and children of other schools and patriotic addresses by
Hon. Morris B. Beardsley, President Lewis B. Curtis, Selectman Wake-
man, of Westport; William H. Burr, Mr. Webster, Mrs. Buell, the
State Regent, and Mrs. Sterling, the Vice-Regent of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, and concluded with a poem on "The
Minute Man," by Mrs. Agnes Lewis Mitchell.

The Connecticut Society of the Sons of the American Revolution has
to its credit in this line the purchase, fitting up and maintenance of
the old war office at Lebanon ; the purchase and restoration of the
Nathan Hale school-house at New London, and five bronze tablets
marking historical sites in different parts of the State.

Connecticut is not rich in these sites. She furnished about one-
eighth of the entire Continental Army. Her sons fought on every
field but little at home. It was her boast — and almost true — that no
foreign foe remained over night on her soil.

The Connecticut Society has published an illustrated pamphlet of
thirty-one pages, entitled "The Minute Man."

General David Humphreys Branch of New Haven on Memorial Day,
June 26, 1910, assisted by the Second Company Governor's Foot Guard,
decorated the graves of one hundred and eighty-seven Revolutionary
soldiers and patriots in Grove Street Cemetery and elsewhere.

The exercises included invocation by Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr.,
Chaplain of the Branch; remarks by President Seymour C Loomis,
and an address by Hon. A. Heaton Robertson.

The General Silliman Branch, of Bridgeport, held a banquet at the
Stratfield Hotel on January 19th, over a hundred members and lady
guests being present.

President Orlando" H. Brothwell acted as toastmaster, and the
speakers were the Rev. A. C. Thompson, Rev. John De Peu, Gen.
E. S. Greeley, and Edward Mallory, of New Haven,

The Nathan Hale Branch, of New London, took part in the cele-
bration by the G. A. R. of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the gomg out
of Company E; also a banquet was held at the Thames Club. Presi-
dent P. Le Rov Harwood acted as toastmaster.

The Hartford Branch of the Connecticut Society was formed Janu-
arv 17th and has a Charter membership of over two hundred. The
Branch was named the Colonel Jeremiah Wadsworth Branch, m honor
of that most prominent patriot in Hartford during the Revolutionary
War and his splendid work as Commissary General under General
Washington. , • , i.

The fall meeting was held at the Hartford Club, with supper at

State Comptroller.

The winter meeting was held at the Hartford Club, with supper at
6.30 p. m. After the supper the meeting adjourned to the rooms of
the Connecticut Historical Society, where the Librarian, Mr. Albert C
Bates, gave a very interesting lecture and exhibited many letters and
relics connected with Col. Jeremiah Wadsworth and other Revolution-
ary officers.

The spring meeting was held at the residence of President Dr. George
C. F. Williams, where a very interesting paper on the "Puritan Sunday"
was read by Mr. Charles Hopkins Clark.

The summer meeting will be held at the Hartford Club, with a sup-
per at 6.30 p. m., after which the meeting will adjourn to the State
Library, where the Librarian, Mr. George S. Godard, will have many
interesting letters and relics to show us.

The Connecticut Society held its twenty-second annual dinner at the
Hotel Garde, Hartford, on February 22. Dr. George C. F. Williams,
President of the Colonel Jeremiah Wadsworth Branch, presided as
toastmaster. Addresses were made by President Curtis, of the State
Society; Hon. Edward L. Smith, Mayor of Hartford; Rev. WiUiam
Douglas MacKenzie, D.D., LL.D. ; Col. Norris G. Osborne, and Rev.
John Calvin Goddard.

Mayor Smith said that present-day democracy was a complex thing
as compared to the days of Washington. This country was a melting-
pot, and it needed time and a flux to make the component parts unite.

The Delaware Society, on April 19, 191 1, held its annual meeting and
re-elected the officers of the preceding year. The business was followed
b)^ a dinner at which there were twenty members present. Earnest
patriotic speeches were made, the speakers dwelling principally on the
part taken by the Delaware line in the battles of the Revolution. It was
decided to offer two prizes of $10.00 and $5.00 gold pieces for the best
essays presented by pupils of the Wilmington High School, on the sub-
ject of "The Principles Fought for in the Revolutionary War." The
President urged that the Society place suitable stone monuments to mark
the position of our Delaware troops at the Battle of the Brandywine
and a committee was appointed to investigate and report as to what
could be done, at the next meeting. The question of a monument in
memory of the 265 brave Delaware soldiers who fell in the Battle of
Camden. S. C, August 16, 1780, in the short fight of one hour, was also
discussed with the idea of securing State aid in its erection If the
brave DeKalb thought it was glorious to die, while leading such troops
as the Delaware and Maryland soldiers, how proud and ready we should
be to commemorate their bravery. Attention was called to the part that
members of our Society had taken in securing a silver service for the
battleship "Delaware," and in entertaining the officers and men; also
that the Society had in addition given $100.00 from its treasury_ toward
the purchase of the silver service. The membership of the Society has
been greatly reduced by dropping all who failed to take an active interest
and pay their dues, but we hope to bring many new members in during
the coming year.

For many years the Society has labored to secure the pubHcation of
the Revokitionary muster rolls, which were found in the loft of the old
court-house at Dover. This work has at last been accomplished, and
the rolls are now in the printer's hands. The distribution of these
heretofore inexcessible records will aid greatly in the increase of our

The above statistics of the District of Columbia Society show a
decrease in membership which has come about through death, transfer,
and the dropping of members for non-payment of dues. While the
number lost is large the Society has gained, in that every one of the 488
members is an active worker, having a deep interest in the welfare of
the Society and being ready at a moment's notice to assume any duty
assigned to him. In other words, the District Society has no dead
timber among its members.

The Society year commences with November and ends with an outing
in May, which last year took the form of an excursion to Annapolis.

The members have been fortunate in securing the following able
speakers at their regular meetings : Claude N. Bennett, Esq., Prof.
Charles E. Munroe, Hon. Lee McClung, Hon. William A. Marble, Hon.
J. W. Collier, and W. E. Safford.

The Society is still in a very prosperous condition and is financially
sound, with a permanent building fund amounting to $4,003.49, and feels
that it has accomplished a great deal in the work of its past President,
Rear Admiral George W. Baird, U. S. N., who was instrumental in
securing legislation for the John Paul Jones Crypt at Annapolis, which
was reported on as follows by the Secretary General of the Society in
the Official Bulletin for March, 1911 :

"The John Paul Jones Crypt at Annapolis has at last been authorized
and its construction provided for by the Naval Appropriation Act,
passed by Congress and approved by the President on March 4, 191 1.
President General Marble and Rear Admiral Baird, of the District of
Columbia Society, have persistently called attention to this needed
legislation, and the State Societies have effectually co-operated toward
accomplishing the proper burial of the remains of Admiral John Paul
Jones, discovered in Paris after a long search at the personal expense
of Gen. Horace Porter, former President General of the National
Society of the Sons of the American Revolution."

Revere, made a few pleasing remarks.

The Oak Park Chapter arranged for a number of its members to
deliver addresses in the public schools upon national peace day. The
Annual Yorktown Day Banquet was held October 19, with President
General Marble as the guest of honor.

The annual meeting was held in Chicago on December 3, the anni-
versy of the admission of Illinois into the Union. An illustrated address
upon "The Illinois National Guard" was given by Capt. O. D. Steele.

The January meeting was one of the largest the Society has held. It
was at the Auditorium Hotel, Chicago, and addresses were given upon
"The Education of the Immigrant in American Citizenship," by Miss
Grace Abbott, Superintendent of the Immigrants' Protective League,
and upon the "Responsibility and Opportunity of Chicago Citizens in
Relation to Immigrants," by E. A. Halsey, ex-city comptroller of Chi-
cago. The addresses were given wide newspaper publicity.

The Society arranged for a celebration of Washington's Birthday by
a popular meeting in Association Auditorium, in which other patriotic
societies joined. A new local Chapter has been organized at River
Forest, 111.

The Oak Park Chapter held its annual banquet on February 20, with
Rev. Dr. John Timothy Stone, Chaplain General of the National So-
ciety, as the guest of honor. He gave an impressive address upon the
character of Washington under the caption "An Example in States-
manship." Two interesting addresses by members of the Chapter were
given as follows : "Washington's Christmas Visit to Trenton," by Col.
H. R. Brinkerhoff, U. S. A., and "The Discouragements of Washing-
ton," by F. C. Caldwell, Esq. Owing to the emphasis placed upon the
display of the flag on national holidays by this Chapter, more flags were
in evidence in Oak Park than ever before in its history. All the com-
mittees of the State Society have taken up their year's work with en-
thusiasm and the outlook is in every way bright.

The Springfield Chapter of Illinois observed Lincoln's Birthday An-
niversary on February 12 by holding joint services with the Daughters
of the American Revolution in the Second Presbyterian Church, where
an address was delivered by Col. Charles F. Wells, President of the

In order to arouse greater interest in the study of the history of the
United States, the Society in 1907 authorized the bestowing of a bronze
medal upon the student of several colleges in Iowa who should during the
year do the best work in the study of the history of the United States.
This proposition was made to twenty colleges in the State. As a result
twelve medals were bestowed on students of as many colleges at com-
mencement time in 1908. In 1909, sixteen medals were awarded to
college students and six to students in high schools, the high-school
medals being gifts of individual members of the Society. At com-
mencement season of 1910, fifteen medals were awarded to college stu-
dents and an equal number (of special design) to pupils in high schools.
In Des Moines the three high schools each embraced the plan of com-
peting for the history medals. These medals have no intrinsic value to
appeal to the student, yet are sought with eagerness and highly prized
by the winners, and the testimony of educators is that these competi-
tions are exerting a wholesome, stimulating influence in the schools and
producing the result desired in stimulating patriotic thought among the
student-body of our people.

At the annual meeting, on April 19, 191 1, it was decided to continue
the offering of the history medals to colleges and high schools, and to
have more frequent meetings of the Board of Managers. It was recom-
mended that local Chapters be encouraged to hold special meetings, at
which the State Secretary should be present, or other State officers. A
further contribution of $50 was voted to the Permanent Fund of the
National Society. The business meeting was followed by a banquet at
the Chamberlain Hotel, at which Gov. Warren Garst and Hon. John
Denison spoke eloquently, and the College Glee Club from the Iowa
Agricultural College, of Ames, rendered "The Midnight Ride of Paul
Revere" in oratorio form in fine style. The meeting and banquet and
all formed an epoch in the history of the Society.

on July 4 a patriotic meeting was held at the residence of Compatriot
James F. Buckner, at Pewee Valley, near Louisville.

The Society celebrated its twenty-second anniversary on October 19

Membership March 31, 191 1 76

There has been a net loss in membership during the year, the Society
having lost by death four, two of whom — Charles Patton Dimitry and
Allan A. Brinsmade — were charter members ; four resignations, and
dropped ten. We, on this showing, begin the official year with 76
names on our active roll. I may say in this connection, in justice to
the esprit de corps of our members, that we are not at all discouraged
by this reduction in our ranks, and we hope to recruit a new member in
the early future for every old member we have been with great reluc-
tance forced to suspend since last report.

As to patriotic work, we are ever faithful to the memory of the
father of our country, so commemorated his birthday this year in a
manner proverbial with the Louisiana Society. By a happy coincident
and conjunction, we had in port for the Mardi Gras festivities a squad-
ron of United States warships, and also a like number of our sister
Republic of France, • which was at the climax of the Revolution our
friend, in deed. The ships of our country's navy were under the com-
mand of Rear Admiral Stanton; that of France, Admiral De Lajarte.
Both admirals were invited to our reunion and banquet ; but, having
arrived only on the morning and evening of the 22d of February, mani-
fold duties aboard ship compelled them to offer by letter their excuses,
couched in most patriotic language and sentiment of appreciation for
the cordial invitation extended to them to be the guests of the Lou-
isiana Society on the occasion. It may be of interest to mention that
our souvenirs of the dinner this year were a silk American flag 12 x 18,
a stick-pin flag with a portrait of Washington on it, and a song-book
containing the patriotic songs played by a string band in attendance
and sung by the Society. At the table this book was tied with the
colors of the National Society — blue, buff, and white.

The ceremony of decorating the graves of the three Revolutionary
soldiers buried in the old St. Louis Cemetery was religously observed
on All Saints' Day. The Society placed the decoration of the graves
in the hands of a regular florist, and by the free and artistic use of

ferns, flags, and flowers the effect was beautiful and impressive and
worthy of the heroes who once stood shoulder to shoulder in defense
of right against oppression, of liberty against tyranny.

At our last meeting a committee was provided for to confer with
the superintendent of our schools, to devise a plan for the competition
between the students under his administration for a S. A. R. medal,
to be offered by the Louisiana Society for the best essay on some
historical subject. I hope in my next annual report to give details of
"something doing," and to record a success of this new undertaking.

Nothing would give me more pleasure than to be with you on the
occasion of the near National Congress in Louisville, Ky., April 30 to
May 3, 191 1 ; but, as I cannot see my way to go, I have only to wish
you a pleasant and satisfactory sitting.

The Maine Society is aiding in the erection of a memorial at Old-
town, telling of the patriotic deeds of the Penobscot Indians during the
War of the Revolution. Mr. Nathan Goold, the Historian of the Soci-
ety, has gathered much interesting information concerning the partici-
pation of the Penobscots in that war, and has published much of it in
local papers and elsewhere.

The principal event of the year was the twentieth annual business
meeting and banquet at Riverton on February 22. It was one of the
largest meetings in the history of the Society. The principal address
was by Prof. Henry S. Nash, D. D., of Cambridge, Mass., on "The
Birth of the New Democracy." He said that he was a hardened optimist,
and he saw the dawning of a new day. Some of the signs of this great
change for the better are the steps taken for the redemption of boys,
the playground movement, and the splendid reforms in city govern-
ment, which began in Galveston after the flood disaster there. The
retiring President of the Society, Hon. Melvin P. Frank, told of the
work being done by the Sons of the American Revolution, particularly
in the marking of the graves of soldiers and sailors of that War.

The Maryland Society held its annual meeting at Baltimore on Octo-

Hotel Belvedere, when an address was delivered by Mr. W. O. Atwood,
City Surveyor of Baltimore. He took for his subject the moral char-
acter of General Washington, and the effect he had upon the early civil
life of this countrv. Col. W. F. Vernon spoke on the military character

and genius of General Washington. A. S. Goldsborough, Secretary to
the Mayor of Baltimore, dwelt on the character of George Washington
as an example of good citizenship. The speakers were all members of
the Maryland Society, and their addresses were received with the great-
est interest. Historian Bibbins announced that the monument recently
erected by the Society at Old Wye to the memory of William Paca,
Signer of the Declaration of Independence and first Governor of Mary-
land, was ready to be unveiled, and that he had arranged to charter a
steamer to go to Old Wye on May 13, 191 1, if the weather was fine.

Our loss is nominal, because before closing our year we admitted 22
new members, thus showing a gain of 14.

The Massachusetts Society has held three meetings, and the Board of
"Managers ten, during the year.

Since last spring we have placed 102 markers at graves of Revolu-
tionary soldiers and patriots who were buried in the old cemeteries in
Dorchester and Roxbury. The late Henry A. May had made a research
of records, which enabled him to identify the war services of 116 addi-
tional burials in the old Boston cemeteries, and these we propose to
mark this year.

We have contributed towards the erection of a memorial flagstaff,
which the Daughters of the American Revolution in Cambridge propose
to place in that city. It is most appropriate that the memorial should
take this form, as the first flag of the United Colonies — the stripes with
the cross of St. Andrew and St. George in the field — was here first dis-
played when the Continental Army was organized, January i, 1776.

We have placed a handsome bronze tablet on the Essex-street side of
Hotel Essex, marking approximately the site of the birthplace of Major
General Henry Knox. We have published and distributed to our mem-
l»ers, free of cost tp them, the eighth volume, or "Register," of our
Society.

We have successfully opposed changing the name of historic Court
Street in Boston to a continuation of State Street, which forms a part
■of the latter street, but no sufficiently good excuse for changing the
name has been given.

The Chapters of our Society in Boston, Chelsea, Lowell, Lynn, Mai-
den, and Springfield hold regular meetings, which are usually well
attended.

Our annual meeting April 19, 191 1, was attended by more than 200
members. We were honored by the presence of Historian General
Pierson, who spoke most interestingly at both places, the Old South
Meeting House and the American House.

The Michigan Society was organized January 18, 1890, at Detroit.
Its most rapid growth occurred during the first ten years, within which
period the country labored under the excitement of the Spanish War,
and latent patriotism came to the surface. Large numbers of our best
citizens at this time joined the Society, which acquired a high standing
from the general character of the membership. The Society appeared
publicly and was identified with movements of a public and patriotic
character, such as celebrations of holidays, dedication of public build-
ings, memorial and historical tablets, and various similar matters. Later,,
under the influence of more peaceful times, the activities of the Society
subsided until it assumed the position of a mere social organization,
serving the taste of its members by an occasional function. Such
inactivity was not conducive to growth.

When the late Dr. Rufus W. Clark became President of the Society,,
he originated the idea of social meetings, where discussion was had of
historical papers. Programs were mapped out, and for the past five
years this course has been pursued to the pleasure and profit of those
participating, but it must be confessed without much public attention or
benefit. These so-called "Historical Meetings" have not been supported
by more than a fraction of the membership, and by reason of the fact
that three-fourths of the members live in Detroit, the meetings have
always been held in that city. But they have served to keep the Society-
active, and there has been but a small loss in membership except for
natural causes. Interest has been maintained and increased, so that a
large number of comparatively young men have joined the Society.
Death has, however, made its inroads among the older and more
prominent men who originally formed and maintained the organization.
But the great body of members have remained loyal, though compara-
tively inactive in the proceedings.

The lapse of twenty years has been sufficient to warrant a few obser-
vations from one who has kept account of occurrences. Founded as it
is upon the achievements of the past, it is improbable that the Society
will ever become a popular or democratic organization. Its original'
aristocratic tendencies will doubtless always survive to some degree,
though less mark(;d than formerly, and less than in some of the other
patriotic societies based on ancestry of members. And such tendencies
should not hamper the usefulness of the Society in view of the broad,
unselfish principles declared in its articles of organization. Its activities,,
however, must be varied and broadened in order to maintain its high
standing publicly, and to keep up the interest of present and prospective
members. Its aims must be adjusted to present conditions, for the
bond of Revolutionary descent among its members is not strong enough
to give the Society force, unless combined with other things that shall
make it really useful and furnish a field for the activities of broad-
minded and patriotic citizens.

The suggestion must be made that, locally, it would be better for the
Society to turn its active attention to matters of present-day importance
than to dwell entirely on past history and achievements. Not forgetting
what our Revolutionary sires did, but in emulation of their patriotic and'

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 1 29

unselfish actions, we should try to do something for better government,
better citizenship, and a more unselfish treatment of public questions.
There is always some local matter that needs the discussion and support
of broad-minded men, and, acting judiciously, the Society can exert a
great force in some of these matters without incurring criticism as a
public meddler or "butter-in."

MINNESOTA SOCIETY.

The Minnesota Society enrolled 16 new members during the year,
making its total present membership 533, of whom 278 are reported in

On Flag Day, June 14, 1910, the Society installed a 50-foot flagpole
at the old Sibley House, Mendota, and presented the pole to the
Daughters of the American Revolution.

The annual banquet was held on June 18, at the Town and Country
Club. The principal speaker was Rev. W. R. Harshaw.

The Society lost six members by death, including its former Presi-
dent, Francis Marion Crosby.

The Society held its annual meeting for 1910 on July 12. when there
was delivered an address by William Elliot Griffis, D. D.. L. H. D.. on
"The New Hampshire Brigade in the Sullivan Campaign of 1779,"
which has been published by the Society. Doctor Griffis reviewed the
deeds of the three New Hampshire regiments that formed a part of
Sullivan's army in "the great march through the western wilderness,
which virtually destroyed the Iroquois Confederacy, opening the path
of civilization westward, and, by putting an end to the flank and rear
attacks by savages on our settlements along the long frontier, made
Yorktown possible." It was the battle at Newtown, New York, on
August 29, 1779, that paralyzed the Indian Confederacy, so that it never
was again a powerful factor in international politics and war. Doctor
Griffis concluded his address by calling upon the people of New Hamp-
shire "to rear on the Newtown battlefield some durable token of their
appreciation of the services of these brave Continentals, who bore them-
selves so nobly in one of the most decisive battles of the American
Revolution."

The annual meeting for 1911 was held on April 20, when officers were

The aim of the New Jersey Society during the past year has been to
bring before the public the objects of the Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution, to increase the spirit of patriotism in our State,
to arouse the interest of those eligible for membership, and the en-
lightenment of foreigners as to American principles.

The first event was the celebration of the Anniversary of the Battle
of Springfield, N. J., on June 23, 1910. at the Revolutionary Cemetery in
Springfield, conveyed to the New Jersey Society some years ago. The
public school children of Springfield took part in the exercises, and
raised the flag on the newly-erected flagstaff. The oration delivered by
Rev. William M. Lawrence on this occasion was most eloquent. Ar-
rangements have been made for the proper care of the plot and the dis-

play of the Stars and Stripes on holidays and prominent anniversaries
in our national history.

Early in the fall our Year Book for 1910 was completed and dis-
tributed. Among the most interesting items in the book are a roll of
the members with their genealogical record, information regarding the
monuments and tablets erected in recent years, either by our Society or
through the efforts of our members, a chronological list of the battles
and other events of the Revolution, and a report made by our Historian
on the Signers of the Declaration of Independence from New Jersey,
with illustrations. This report was made in accordance with the recom-
mendation offered by the Memorial Committee at the Toledo Congress.

On October 18, 1910, on invitation of the Society of Colonial Wars in
New Jersey, our Society took part with other patriotic societies in the
celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the First White Settlement in
New Jersey.

An illustrated lecture was given under the auspices of the Society on
November 18, 1910, by William Elliot Griffis. D. D.. L. H. D., on "Sul-
livan's Expedition against the Indians, A. D. 1779," whicli was well
attended.

Considerable interest was evinced by both the State Society and the
Chapters in the matter of the John Paul Jones crypt, and we did our
part in the effort made by the S. A. R. Societies to secure the appropria-
tion by Congress for this purpose, by memorializing the Senators and
members of Congress from New Jersey.

At the annual meeting, held January 3, 191 1, the anniversary of the
Battle of Princeton, President General Marble addressed the Society,
and the reports of the officers showed activity and progress. The in-
crease in membership, while not as large as the previous year, was very
encouraging. As a result of the investigation made by the Historian,
already referred to in connection with the Year Book, it was found that
the graves of two of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence
from New Jersey, namely, Richard Stockton and Francis Hopkinson,
were unmarked, and at this meeting our Committee on Monuments and
Memorials was requested to take action looking to the marking of the
graves of these Signers.

Much interest has been taken in the work among our foreign popula-
tion. About 1,500 copies of the leaflet No. i, "The United States, Its
Opportunities, Government and Institutions," have been given out for
distribution. One of our members, Rev. M. S. Waters, told at this
meeting of his work among these people in the night schools of the
City of Newark. The Board of Managers are now considering the
publication of a book" for the education of foreigners in American his-
tory and principles.

On February 25, 191 1, a banquet was given at Newark in memory of
the birth of General George Washington, with an attendance of about
one hundred and fifty members and friends. Stirring and patriotic
addresses were delivered by Rev. B. Canfield Jones, D. D., on "Wash-
ington and Lincoln as Guides for Today," and Rev. Dr. Wilham F.
Whitaker, on "Washington's Worth." The addition of a number of
new members was one of the results of this most enjoyable gathering.

An illustrated lecture bv Franklin Matthews, correspondent of the New
York Sun, on "Around the World with the Atlantic Fleet," was given
under the auspices of the Society on March 15, 191 1, and a large audi-
ence thoroughly enjoved the lecture.

Our Chapters have' also been active, and the more prominent features
of their work mav be summarized as follows :

Elizabethtown Chapter has been working for the marking of alt his-
torical roads and points of interest in Union County, and is plannmg
further work along these lines. They are also v.-orking for an increase
in membership.

The New Mexico Society is adding to its membership, and I believe
that the present year will show an increase of at least fifteen members.
The Society has an important duty before it in the Territory of New
Mexico this year. It is our hope that the constitution recently ratified
by a very large popular majority will be approved by Congress at its
present session, and that New Mexico will be admitted as a State into
the Union. A national engagement was made at the time this domain
was acquired from the Republic of Mexico that a State to be known as
"New Mexico" should be admitted into the Union at the earliest prac-
ticable day. The fulfillment of this pledge was repeatedly deferred
until the enactment of the enabling statute of Congress providing for
the drafting of constitutions by the Territories of New Mexico and
Arizona in June. 1910. We anticipate a very large influx of population
to this Territory as soon as the President issues a proclamation declar-
ing that the proposed constitution has been approved ; and it is reason-
able to predict that a considerable per cent of the new population will
be immigrants from foreign countries. The principles of public liberty
as regulated by law must be taught to these people. The Society is
called upon to make a special efifort to the accomplishment of this end.
Our native people here are well instructed in the essential principles of
free government. This is especially noticeable by repeated manifesta-
tions of their interest in public affairs. As citizens, jurors and members
of civil society they have demonstrated their attachment to free institu-
tions, and are' guided by that circumspection essential to their preserva-
tion. The school houses of this Territory all exhibit the splendid deco-
ration expressed by the Stars and Stripes. The New Mexico Society
will appreciate suggestions from the National Society _ which tend to
promote patriotism among our people and which will uplift the standard
of our citizenship.

Necessarily the report of the Secretary of a Society of this kind will
be of the same general character each year, the only difference being in
the figures and some minor points.

We have held during the past year our three stated meetings, and the
usual number of those of the Board of Managers.

The annual election of officers took place April 19, 1910, at which
time Mr. John H. Burroughs was chosen President in place of Hon.
C. A. Pugsley; Mr. Louis Annin Ames, first Vice-President in place of
Mr. Richard T. Davies, and Capt. Chas. A. Du Bois, Secretary in place
of Mr. Ames. Mr. Cresswell Maclaughlin addressed the compatriots
upon the duties of citizenship, especially in their relation to the Sons of
the American Revolution.

The twenty-first Annual Congress of the National Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution was held at Toledo, Ohio, on April
30, May 2 and 3, 1910, at which we had twenty delegates. Our former
President. Mr. William A. Marble, was elected President General, and
our President, Mr. Burroughs, Treasurer General.

The usual Year Book of the Society was published and a copy mailed
to each member.

During the year our President has visited a number of the Chapters
throughout the State, and this has tended to increase the interest among
the out-of-town members : he proposes to visit other Chapters during the
coming year.

At the meeting held October 18, 1910, Mr. William E. Pulsifer read a
very interesting paper on Daniel Webster.

(Dn June 14. 1910, our President, with several of the compatriots, at-
tended the ceremonies of the unveiling of the monument marking the
birthplace of the State of New York at White Plains, N. Y.

A committee pf our compatriots was appointed by the Mayor of the
City of New York to attend the celebration of a "Sane and Safe Fourth
of July." composed of William A. Marble, Hon. C. A. Pugsley. John H.
Burroughs. Louis Annin Ames, James de la Montanye. John De W.
Mowris and others.

On the Fourth of July the ceremony of decorating the grave of
Lafayette took place in Paris, France. Compatriot Hanson C. Coxe was
in charge and made the address; Compatriot William E. IMarble also
made a few remarks. It is proposed that similar ceremonies shall take
place each year, and those compatriots that can so arrange their visit to
Paris are requested to report to Compatriot Coxe at the L^. S. Embassy
and take part.

Our annual banquet, which took place at the Waldorf-Astoria on the
evening of the 19th of November, was the most successful of any yet
held.

During the past year we have assisted the Huntmgton Chapter m
marking the graves of Revolutionary soldiers located in that vicmity.
Our annual church service was held on February 19, at the Calvary

and our Chaplain, Dr. Charles L. Goodell.

At the meeting of the Society held at the Hotel Astor on February
21, 191 1, Compatriot Norman P. Heffley gave us his illustrated lecture,
"Siberia, Russia, and the Islands of the Arctic," which was received with
much enthusiasm by the compatriots and their friends.

At the request of the Newburgh Chapter the Society has presented to
the "Broadway Grammar School," of Newburgh, a plaster bust of
Washington. At the ceremony of presentation President Burroughs
made the speech. We have also presented portraits of Washington to
the Public School of Long Lake, N. Y. ; High School at Johnstown,
N. Y. ; High School at Canisto, N. Y. ; Lenox Ave. Collegiate Church,
New York City, and the Silver Bay Association, Lake George, N. Y.

The protest against the use of the sites of Forts Clinton and Mont-
gomery being used as a site for a State Prison, made by this Society
and others, I am pleased to say. was effectual, and the prison will be
built elsewhere.

The Ohio Society showed increased activity during the year as a re-
sult of the holding of the Annual Congress of the National Society at
Toledo. Much patriotic work is carried on through the Chapters at
Youngstown, Toledo, Cleveland, and Columbus. The twenty-second
annual meeting was held on April 10, 1911.

A committee was appointed to publish the names of all known sol-
diers of the Revolutionary War who are buried in Ohio. More than
1,200 are said to be buried in the State, and of this number the graves
of 250 have been located by Henry R. Baldwin, of Youngstown, who
worked under the direction of former President Butler. Mr. Butler is
planning to purchase the ancestral home of the Washington family in
England.

The Society has also decided to furnish a room in the birthplace of
Rufus Putnam, at Rutland, Mass., now commemorated by a national
park, with Ohio relics, taken from Putnam's later Ohio home. E. O.
Randall, on behalf of the Ohio Archaeological Society, promised that
organization's support. Judge John N. Van Deman, of Dayton, Presi-
dent, acted as toastmaster at the twenty-second annual banquet at the
Hartman Hotel, and President Butler delivered the address of welcome.
Former Lieutenant Governor Francis W. Treadway was the speaker of
the evening, his subject being "What the Revolution Means to Us."

The Anthony Wayne Chapter, of Toledo, has issued a pamphlet giv-
ing the names of officers, the constitution, reasons for membership,
directions for looking up ancestry and for making out application
papers, and a list of members of the Chapter.

• OREGON SOCIETY.

The Oregon Society admitted 14 new members during the year, and
its active membership on March 31, 191 1, was iii. The annual business
meeting and banquet was held at the University Club, Portland, on
February 22, 191 1. Mr. D. W. Wakefield was chosen Vice-President:
the other officers were re-elected. President Wallace McCamant paid a
tribute to the memory of George Washington, but he did not excuse
Washington's faults.

The Society adopted a well-deserved tribute to the memory of Com-
patriot George H. Williams, who died April 10, 1910, aged 87 years and
II days. Judge Williams joined the Oregon Society in 1893 and was its
President from 1899 to 1905. His career as a jurist and statesman was
a notable one. In 1853 he was appointed Chief Justice of Oregon
Territory. From 1866 to 1872 he was a member of the United States
Senate, and was Attorney General in President Grant's Cabinet (see
Offici.ai. Bulletin for March, 1911).

The Pennsylvania Society, with a view of arousing interest in its
work, has inaugurated a series of informal gatherings of members and
eligible guests. On May 25, 1910, there was a noonday luncheon at the
Fort Pitt Hotel, Pittsburg, at which 49 members were present ; June 29,
a noonday luncheon on the roof garden of the Lincoln Hotel, at which
65 were present ; October 19, an evening dinner at the Monongahela
House, at which 52 were present, and on Decem.ber 9 we had an evening
dinner at the Monongahela House, at which 42 members were present.
At each one of these meetings we had from three to six of our mem-
bers make very interesting addresses, which were much appreciated by
all present.

The annual business meeting, followed by a dinner, was held on
February 22, when addresses were made by Rev. George D. Adams, of
the Philadelphia Chapter, on "Washington, the Unknown Man," and by
Gen. Willis J. Hulings, on "The American Revolution."

The Committee on Prevention of Desecration of the Flag was active
during the year, as indicated by the following report :

The duties of this committee consist exclusively in seeing to the
enforcement of the act of the Legislature to prevent and punish the
desecration of the Flag of the United States and of this State.

As the existence of this law becomes better known it is the better
observed. Any violations which do occur are usually just before the
Fourth of July.

During the last year we had the following infractions brought to
our attention :

First. There was an advertisement of a fireworks manufacturer, by
a New York firm. The closing paragraph in their last letter says: "We
thank you for calling our attention to this matter and assure yovi that
no more of these circulars will be mailed or distributed in your State."

Second. There was a very objectionable cut which appeared in our
dailf papers. When the matter was brought to the attention of the
local firm they replied that it was New York syndicate stuff, and that
it would not be used again. They also thanked us for calling their
attention to this matter.

Third. The next violation was that of a local firm, which advertised
union suits in a circular from which was a rather conspicuous American
Flag. The)^ again closed their letter by thanking us for our kindness.

These expressions are repeated when they occur, that all might see
in general the respect for the law, its violation being caused by ignorance
or thoughtlessness.

The Butler fair advertised by little stick-pins, with a celluloid flag,
on the reverse side of which was an "advertisement" of the fair. In
my correspondence with the secretary of the Fair Association appears
the following paragraph :

"I have always thought it improper to print anything on our National
emblem, and heartily approve of legislation to prevent its desecration.
However. I do not believe the pin in question violates either the letter
or spirit of the law, but am willing to submit the question to a com-
mittee of fair-minded, impartial, patriotic citizens, and consider the
Flag Committee of the Sons of the American Revolution such. Am

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 1 37

willing that you consider the matter, and if you come to the conclusion
that this pin desecrates the American Flag and violates the law, I will
stop the distribution of the pin."

As the time for the fair had arrived when this letter was received.
I did not press the matter, but told him that I did not think his point
well taken, and advised him not to use the pin further.

This same pin was distributed during the visit of Roosevelt last fall,
but was the advertisement of a foreign firm and nothing could be done
about the matter.

There have been no formal meetings of the conmiittee during the
year. As most of the work of this committee must be done by the
chairman, I would recommend that for the next year the chairman be
from Philadelphia, as there must certainly be some violations of the
law in so large a city, and.no matters have been brought to our atten-
tion from that part of the State.

The Rhode Island Society on May 30 held its customary Memorial
Day exercises at Hopkins Park, Providence, when large numbers of
Italian school children and their parents paid honor to Commodore
Esek Hopkins. President Frederic W. Easton, of the Rhode Island
Society, presided and made the introductory address. The Declaration
of Independence was read by Compatriot Amasa M.' Eaton, "Song for
IMemorial Day" was rendered by the school pupils, and an address on
the day was given by Mr. Rathbone Gardner. The pupils of the fifth
grade gave the declamation. "Captain, O My Captain," in concert, after
which a wreath was placed on the Hopkins statue. Prof. Alessandro
G. Laurenzio followed with an address in Italian on "The Duty of
Italians to Their Adopted Country."

The Society's annual business session was held at noon on February
22. 191 1, in the rooms of the Rhode Island Historical Society, Provi-
dence. President Frederic W. Easton presided. The Secretary reported
a present membership of 321. On motion of former Governor Charles
Warren Lippitt, the Society voted to appropriate $100 for the General
Greene Memorial Association. Hon. Charles Dean Kimball, former
Governor of Rhode Island, was elected President of the Society for
the ensuing year, and Mr. Joseph Balch Vice-President. The other
officers were re-elected.

The annual banquet was held at Talma Theater during the evening.
Among the guests were the Varnvim Continentals, of East Greenwich,

paring their final papers for admission. Commander John H. Moore,
U. S. N., chairman of the Committee on Organization in the South, was
present and urged them to put forward every effort to build up a strong
Society in South Carolina from the descendants of patriots who fought
at Kings Mountain and on other historic battlefields of the southern
campaign during the Revolution. The following ofticers were elected :
President, Paul Trapier Hayne, of Greenville; Vice-President, Oscar

The annual meeting, held at Houston, Texas, on Washington's Birth-
day, Wednesday, February 22, 191 1, was fairly well attended, and at
this meeting it was unanimously agreed that the best interest and future
growth of the Texas Society demanded that the place of holding the
annual meeting should change from year to year, being held each year
in a different city; and it was also agreed that the three principal offi-
cers should be elected from the members residing in the place of next
meeting. Thereupon Austin was selected as such place, and the Presi-
dent, Secretary, and Treasurer were elected from Austin.

The business meeting was held from 10 a. m. to noon, and in the
afterfioon the Lady Washington Chapter, Daughters of the American
Revolution, gave a reception to the Texas Society at the Country Club.

The annual dinner was held at the Rice Hotel, at which the officers
of the Lady Washington Chapter, D. A. R.. were the honored guests of
the Texas Society, and after the dinner the Sons and Daughters at-
tended a box party at the ]\Iajestic Theater.

It is believed that the general effect of our meeting this year was to
awaken a great spirit of enthusiasm for the work of the coming year,
and it is hoped that the system of shifting the place of meeting to a
different city each year will greatly increase our membership within the
next five years.

Last year the Washington Society reported that in all probability new
Chapters would be formed within the year at North Yakima, Olympia
and several other cities in the State. We beg to report that so far we
have been unable to establish any new Chapters, although having
worked on it during the past year. It now looks as if we will be able
to accomplish something this year.

The State Society has admitted nine new members during the year,
one of these being received upon demit from another State and eight
upon original application. Four members have died and seventeen have
been officially dropped from rolls for non-payment of dues. The ma-

NATIONAL PEACE CONGRESS.

The President Gener.\l: The Chair takes pleasure in recognizing
ex-President General Greeley, who has a matter that he wishes to call
to the attention of the Society.

General GrEELEy: IMr. President General, as is probably well known
to you, there is in session in Baltimore the Third National Peace Con-
gress, and it has occurred to some of our members that it would be
well for us to recognize that body and extend to it our greeting and
sympathy, and in view of that fact a resolution has been prepared,
which I will present to you for your consideration.

"The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, in
Congress assembled at Louisville, Ky., desire to extend their most
hearty greetings to the National Peace Congress assembled at Balti-
more. Standing under the folds of 'Old Glory,' we pledge with you
greater loyalty to the government under whose banner it is our privilege
to live, and assure you of our deepest interest in the movement to
establish universal peace by arbitration."

I move, Mr. President, that this be sent to our compatriot, Wardner
Williams, who is a delegate from the State of Colorado to that con-
vention. He leaves today, and will be there to attend that Congress.

(This motion was seconded by Judge Hancock and several other
members.)

The President General: Is there any discussion of this question?
Is there any one who would like to be heard on this proposition?

(There were calls of "Question I" and the motion was adopted unani-
mously.)

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.

Mr. PugslEy: Mr. President General, I am sure we all listened with
great interest yesterday to the most admirable sermon on International
Arbitration, by Dr. McCready, at the Cathedral : and I believe there
has been one act of polic}-^ by President Taft that has met with uni-
versal approbation, and that is his efforts on behalf of international
arbitration. And so it would seem eminently fitting, just at this time.

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. I4I

in connection with what ex-President General Greeley has just pre-
sented, that we should also pass a resolution thanking the President of
the United States for his efforts along this line. There is iron in the
blood of the Sons of the American Revolution, but I believe we want to
keep step with the thought and vision of the age, and that thought and
vision look towards the settling of our differences by arbitration, rather
than by the sword. (Calls of "Good!" and applause.)

Therefore it gives me pleasure to move that the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution, in Congress assembled at Louisville, upon this day,
heartily thank the President of the United States for his wise action
looking towards international arbitration.

General GrEELEY : I would like to say a word in regard to that mat-
ter. The President of the United States will open the Peace Congress
at Baltimore. Ex-President General Pugsley is most deeply interested
in this work, and he is not only entitled to the gratitude of this Na-
tional Society, but of the world, for the work he has done. (Applause.)

(The motion of Mr. Pugsley was put to a vote and carried.)

The following telegram, prepared by Mr. Pugsley, was sent to Presi-
dent Taft :

Hon. William H. Taft,

President of the United States, Washington, D. C:
The following resolution was this day adopted : The National Society
of the Sons of the American Revolution, in Congress assembled at
Louisville, most heartily commends the President of the L^nited States
for his splendid work and wise efforts in the interests of international
arbitration.

William A. Marble,

President General.

CHANGE OF DATE OF CONGRESS.

The President General: I think the time has arrived now when it
is best for us to adjourn for the day. We have finished all the routine
work, and we can begin tomorrow morning on new business. I am
ready to entertain a motion to that effect.

(Colonel Guthrie so moved, and there were several seconds to his
motion.)

Judge BeardslEy : Mr. President General, we have before us the
question of an amendment to our Constitution, so as to change the
time for holding our Annual Congress ; and, if the gentleman will
withdraw for the moment his motion to adjourn, we can dispose of
that matter at this time.

The President General: I think we are all agreed on that, and I
would like to get it out of the way, if possible. I thank Judge Beards-
ley for calling my attention to the matter. The Secretary General will
now read the proposed changes in the Constitution in regard to the time
of holding our Annual Congress, and will follow that by a resolution,
which has been approved by the Executive Committee and the Board of
Trustees.

142 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

The Secretary General : The motion is to amend Article VII —
Section i of Article VII of the Constitution — by striking out the words
"on the thirtieth day of April or on the first day of May," and inserting
in lieu thereof "on the third Monday of May," so that as amended that
section of the Constitution will read :

"The Annual Congress of the National Society for the election of
the general officers and for the transaction of business shall be held on
the third Monday of May in each year. The place of such meeting
shall be designated by the Board of Trustees."

Doctor Guyer: I move the adoption of that amendment.

(Judge Beardsley and others seconded the motion.)

The President General: Moved and seconded that the resolution be
adopted as recommended by the Executive Committee and the Board of
Trustees.

(There were calls of "Question.")

Judge Hancock : Before that is adopted, I would like to know the
reason of the proposed change.

Judge Beardsley: We have found the present meeting time some-
what inconvenient in practice. In the first place, when the Congress
meets on the first day of May it may have to meet on Saturday and
then adjourn over until Monday, while if the first falls on Sunday we
must have an adjournment until Monday. Then there are a great many
of our members who are business men and are so situated that they
find it almost impossible to leave home on the first day of the month,
and they cannot attend our meeting. Another reason is that if the
meeting time falls three weeks later in May, it assures us more pleasant
weather. Our congresses have often been marred by bad weather, as
you all know, and if we can meet a little later, when we can have more
pleasant weather, it seems to me it will be a good thing. Besides, it
will accommodate in a business way many of our members who cannot
attend under the present arrangement, and I believe this plan will result
in a much larger attendance.

General GrEELEy: In confirmation of what Judge Beardsley has said,
four members of our Connecticut Society are absent from this Congress
because it came on the first day of the month. Their business is of
such a character that it is impossible for them to leave home at this
time, and I am sure that applies to many others.

(There were calls of "Question.")

The President General : All in favor of the change in the Constitu-
tion as proposed — which has already been published, and submitted to
various State Societies — please say "Aye."

(Motion was carried unanimously.)

Colonel Guthrie : Now I will renew my motion to adjourn until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.

(Motion was duly carried.)

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVII^LE CONGRESS. I43

Morning Session, May 2, 1911 — 10.15 a.m.

The Congress was called to order by President General Marble.

The President Gener.al : Compatriots, the first thing in the order of
business this morning is the taking up of a proposed amendment to the
Constitution. This was introduced before the Congress last year, and 1
had the honor of introducing it. The amendment is as follows :

"Amend Article III of the Constitution, entitled 'Membership,' by the
insertion of a new Section 2, as follows : 'No one shall be entitled to
membership in any State Society who has previously been a member of
any other State Society and dropped for the non-payment of dues until
the indebtedness of such individual to the first Society shall have been
adjusted.' Renumber Sections 2 and 3 so as to make them Sections
3 and 4."

The President General: This amendment does not prevent any
State Society from Hquidating its claim against any member before he
leaves the Society on any basis that Society may see fit to adopt. Is
there any discussion on this subject?

(On motion made and seconded, the proposed amendment was adopted
unanimously.)

The President General : Before taking up the first regular order of
business, I will call on the Rev. Mr. Halsey, of Arizona, who would
like to be heard for a few moments.

Doctor Halsey : Compatriots, it is with great pleasure that I bring
you greetings from the Sons of the American Revolution of the Terri-
tory that had the nerve and the patriotism to refuse Statehood until it
had the right to her own star upon the Flag. (Applause.) I bring you
greetings from men who are workers. It is our privilege there to
have as earnest, faithful workers as can be found anywhere — our
Governor, our Adjutant General, the Mayor of our city; that is th^
kind of men we have in our Society. We are growing, also; we have
over fifty members now, which is a good percentage as compared with
other Societies. I do not come direct from Arizona just at present, but
I would have considered it worth coming from Arizona here to have
heard the splendid s'peech of General Buckner yesterday, and the
responses made thereto. (Applause.) We believe in the Flag in
Arizona, too, and it was my privilege, as Chairman of the Flag Com-
mittee, to draft the bill for such a law and aid in carrying it through
the Legislature. And we believe in enforcing the law in Arizona, and
we have had cases in the court at Phoenix against parties who infracted
that law. It may be interesting to you to know that the first flag put
out in Cuba was a flag given by the ladies of Phoenix to the Rough
Riders. When our star glitters on the Flag— as was so eloquently stated
yesterday by General Buckner— all we want as Arizonians is to be
received by our sister States with as kingly cordiality and as queenly
courtesy as the members of this Congress have been received by the
Sons and Daughters of Kentucky in Louisville. (Applause.)

The President General: The Chair will recognize ^Ir. Samuel D.
Hublev, of Pennsvlvania.

144 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REV^OLUTION.

Mr. Hubi.ey: I just want to make a suggestion I think may be of
benefit to man.v of the State Societies. In Pennsylvania two years ago
we inaugurated what we called a "Noonday Luncheon."' For several
years we only met on the 22d of February, for the election of officers
and an annual banquet, but that did not give much opportunity for
bringing the members into closer personal acquaintance. Then we made
arrangements with different hotels for a 50-cent meal, which lasted an
hour, and at which w^e would have three-minute talks. Finally it grew
into a six o'clock dinner, at 75 cents, and we would meet at six and
stay until ten — and I expect Colonel Guthrie and some others of our
Pennsylvania people will tell you it was hard to get all of them away
at ten o'clock. (Laughter.) I want to suggest this as a good idea, a
good move, to get your people personally and better acquainted.

The President General : The suggestion is a very welcome one.
The Chair will now recognize Judge Hancock, of Pennsylvania, who
has a report to make.

RETURN OF CERTIFICATES.

Judge Hancock : Gentlemen, I have here the report of the com-
mittee appointed yesterday with reference to an amendment of the
By-laws and change in the form of certificate, where persons have
dropped their membership for non-payment of dues. The report of
your committee is as follows :

"To the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution :

"Your committee appointed to consider and report upon the legality
and propriety of the following resolution, to-wit : 'That a clause be
inserted in the application for membership and incorporated in the
certificate granted thereunder, by which, when the recipient of the cer-
tificate shall not pay his membership, he shall surrender his certificate,
unless his membership shall cease by reason of death or actual dis-
ability, to be determined b}- the Society of which he is a member.'
unanimously report in favor of its adoption by the Congress, and that
the Board of Trustees be directed to carry it into effect."

James D. Hancock, Chairman.

A. Howard Clark.

C. A. Pl'GSley.

Now. this matter needs some little explanation. In the first place, by
putting this provision in the application, and afterwards in the certifi-
cate, it becomes a contract, which can be enforced at law in any court
ft.t the same time it is hoped that in a body of men like the Sons of the
American Revolution it will never be necessary to enforce the law; it
is hoped that, as honorable men. they will never want to hold a cer-
tificate staring them in the face which they know is a sham and a fraud.
Yet, I have heard of a case from an adjoining State — and it is probably
true of all the States — where a man became a member of our Society
and the Secretary paid for his certificate, and he not only never reim-
bursed the Secretary, but never paid any of his annual dues until quite
a sum had run up against him, the amount due on account of his mem-

PROCKEDINGS OF I^OUISVILLK CONGRESS.

bership having meantime been paid by his State Society to the National
Society. The adoption of this report will stop that ; and still it will be
left, as you will see here, in the power of the State Societies to enforce
these provisions. If the State Society finds that the dues have not been
paid on account of actual disability, that ends it. If, on the other hand,
the State Society finds that there is no actual disability, but that the
purpose is to get the benefit of affiliation with the Society without paying
for it, it is authorized to act. If their verdict is against him, they can
call upon him to return the certificate which he has, and he will not
only be bound in honor, but if necessary he can be compelled to do it
under the law. That is all I have to say. (Applause.)

The President General : Gentlemen, you have heard the report of
your committee. What is your pleasure?

Judge Hancock : In further explanation of our action I will say
that we wanted to make this resolution as simple as possible, and to do
but one thing. If it should become necessary hereafter, it can be
amended to cover other points.

(After some further discussion and explanation of the report of the
committee, it was unanimously adopted.)

VOTES OF THANKS.

The President General: We will now hear from Mr. Pugsley, the
chairman of the Committee on Resolution of Thanks to Congressman
Loud.

Mr. Pugsley : The committee recommend the adoption of the follow-
ing resolution :

Resolved, That the thanks of this Congress be tendered to our cow-
patriot, the Hon. George A. Loud, Representative from Michigan in the
Congress of the United States, for his patriotic service in securing an
appropriation to cover the funeral expenses incident to the honorable
interment at Annapolis, Maryland, of the body of John Paul Jones, the
peerless naval hero of the War of the Revolution.

The President General: Gentlemen, you have heard the report of
your committee. What is your pleasure?

General GrEELEy : I move the adoption of the report.

The President General: The Chair would like to ask to have that
resolution engrossed and sent to Congressman Loud.

General GrEELEy: I accept that suggestion.

(The motion was so put and carried.)

The President General: Admiral Baird will read resolutions of
thanks to Senators Bacon and Lodge, as a member of the committee
appointed at Monday morning's session.

Rear Admiral Baird: Your committee recommend the adoption of
the following resolutions :

Resolved, That the thanks of this Congress be tendered to United
States Senator Augustus O. Bacon, of Georgia, for his patriotic service
in securing the passage by the Senate of an appropriation to provide for
a memorial to Thomas Jefferson.

Resolved, That the thanks of this Congress be tendered to our com-
patriot, United States Senator Henrj^ Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts,
for his patriotic service in securing the passage by the Senate of an
appropriation to provide for a memorial to Alexander Hamilton, to be
erected in the city of Washington.

(Motion made and seconded that these resolutions be adopted, and
likewise engrossed and sent to Senators Bacon and Lodge. Carried.).

The President General : I will now ask the Secretary General to
read a telegram received by me this morning from the Florida Society.

Pensacola, Fla., May i, 191 1.
W. A. Marble, President,

Natio7tal Society, S. A. R., Seelhach Hotel, Louisville, Ky.:

The Florida Society send greetings to our compatriots and report
that although still small, we now have largest membership in Society's
history. I earnestly request that compatriots who have relations or
friends in Florida who are eligible for membership will write me their
names, so that I may send them a personal invitation to join Florida
Society, S. A. R.

John H. Cross, President.

The President General: The Chair would suggest, if it meets with
the approval of the Congress, that a return telegram be sent the Presi-
dent of the Florida Society.

(This suggestion was adopted, on motion of Mr. Dewey.)
The President General : We have now completed all the routine
business on the table, and are in a receptive mood for new business.

PUBLICATION OF RECORDS OF THE REVOLUTION.

Mr. Steele, of Buffalo : Mr. President General, yesterday I men-
tioned the fact that I would bring up a resolution in regard to the
classification and printing of records in Washington. This resolution
was presented to us by that remarkable and wonderful Chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution in Buffalo, consisting of nearly
700 members, presided over by a Regent whom most of you know
personally. Mrs. John Miller Horton presented a similar resolution at
the Continental Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution,
recently held in Washington. This resolution was presented in this
form, after conforming to suggestions made by Compatriot Alexander,
former member of Congress, and Chairman of the Rivers and Harbors
Committee. Mr. Alexander is not now in the House, but he is deeply
interested in this matter, and is a member of the Buffalo Chapter. He
thinks this can be carried through. I doubt whether it can be carried
through in the exact way I have the resolution here, from what I heard
from Mr. Clark yesterday, but I think it would be all right to pass this
resolution at this time. I will read the resolution:

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. I47

Preambles and Resolutions Relative to the Publication by the United
States Government of Pension Records, etc., Recommended for
Adoption by the Twenty-second Annual Congress of the National
Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.

Whereas all persons engaged in genealogical research find great diffi-
culty in procuring copies from the government of records of pensions,
land grants, and land rights of soldiers and sailors who have seen
service under the United States government ; and

Whereas the members of patriotic societies particularly find it diffi-
cult to procure these records in anything like the number or promptness
which they desire for the correct and proper proof of service ; and

Whereas the United States government departments of State, War,
and Navy, and Interior are the only places wherein a copy of these
records may be obtained ; and

Whereas there has never been published by the government anything
more than a mere list of the names of those who have received pensions
for their service, and this list is now out of print and is most difficult
of access; and

Whereas the publication by the government of all such records
would be of the utmost value, not only to all persons engaged in genea-
logical and historical research, but as a means of preservation for the
records themselves, which might otherwise easily be destroyed by fire
or lost : therefore, be it

Resolved, That this organization of the National Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution, in Congress assembled, do hereby petition
the government of the United States to publish in full all records of
pensions, land grants, land rights, or other records of service which
may be in existence for all soldiers prior to the Mexican War ; and
be it further

Resolved, That all State Societies of the National Society, Sons of
the American Revolution, be requested to endorse this project, and that
individual members of this Society personally interview their congres-
sional representatives upon this subject, and urge upon them the neces-
sity and importance of such action by the government ; and be it further

Resolved, That the President General of the National Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution appoint a committee for the purpose
of presenting the matter of the publication of the aforesaid records to
the government of the United States, said committee to ascertain
through the proper channels the necessary amount of appropriation, and
to petition the government, through the Committee on Appropriations
of the House of Representatives, for the necessary funds and the
publications of these Records.

Mr. Steele (continuing) : I think there is very little to be said on
this subject. As we all know, there was recently a terrible fire in
Albany, which destroyed priceless records there. It did not turn out
quite as bad as we feared, under the circumstances : but very valuable
records were thrown ruthlessly out of the windows and destroyed —
records that can never be replaced. And I believe if these records
could be published by the United States government it would be a big
thing. It will be a long, hard fight, but we can probably get it in the
end. I move the adoption of the resolution.

Colonel Kniffin : I may not have made myself as plain in my report
of yesterday as I should have done, although I tried to do so. The
records that are referred to here are historical and genealogical records.
The Adjutant General has the records of all soldiers mustered in and

148 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

mustered out; but the records I refer to are on the pension claims. I
tried to make it plain yesterday that it is impossible to handle these
claims but by the men engaged in that work. In taking these claims
apart we look at all the papers, and we have a card something like that
(indicating), about that size, on which we enter the soldier's name
and the name of his widow, if he has one, and his service. Then down
below we give a synopsis of his record, of his actual service, what war
he was in — not every action, not every campaign in which he was
engaged. Below that we give the names of all his children, and some-
times there are a good many of them. People were not ashamed to
have children in those days. (Laughter.) Sometimes they had 12 or
13, and they are all there. That card must be completed from the
claim, and cannot be handled any other way than as it is being handled.
It is being handled by a corps of competent and industrious clerks.
Now these claims have been rolled up and the dust of scores of years
is on them. They are opened up very carefully and examined. Often-
times there is a very large number of these papers, sometimes 15 or 20
or 25. They contain priceless autographs — autographs that the collec-
tor of historical matter would give a hundred thousand dollars for, if
he could get them. They comprise the names of everybody that any-
body ever heard of in connection with the Revolutionary War. When
that card is completed this matter can be put into type; but nothing
can be done until this information is carded, and that is going on as
rapidly as can be done. It is entirely practicable to have the informa-
tion from these records printed when that is done.

(After some discussion the resolutions offered by Mr. Steele were
referred to the Executive Committee for consideration and action.)

MEMORIAL TO GENERAL HENRY LEE.

Rear Admiral Baird : There are no delegates from Virginia here, but
Kentucky was a part of Virginia once and I think we are on proper
ground, and I want to offer the following resolution :

Whereas the remains of Gen. Henry Lee ("Light Horse Harry
Lee"), of Virginia, are now buried on Cumberland Island, off the coast
of Georgia ; and

Whereas General Lee was one of the most talented and capable
soldiers of the Revolution, and was chosen to deliver the funeral oration
over his commander-in-chief, using those famous words so familiar to
every American boy and girl — "First in war, first in peace, and first in
the hearts of his countrymen" : therefore, be it

Resolved, That the National Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution, assembled in Annual Congress at Louisville, request the
Congress of the United States to take steps to remove to Virginia or
Washington city all that remains of Light Horse Harry Lee, and to
erect a mausoleum or some fitting monument as a memorial of his
talents and sterling character for the benefit of future generations.

The President General : Gentlemen, you have heard the resolution
offered by Rear Admiral Baird, in the interest of the State of Virginia,
upon a subject we are all interested in. What is your pleasure?

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE: CONGRESS. I49

Mr. Kimball, of Rhode Island: I move that the resolution be re-
ferred to the Executive Committee. My reason for doing that is this:
When the resolutions v^rere originally brought to the attention of some
of the members of this Congress the name of Major General Nathanael
Greene was included, as it was supposed that his grave was also upon
this island, and delegates from Rhode Island were directed to join in
requesting this Congress to take action. It was altogether an error as
to General Greene, as his remains are not on that island, and it is
possible the same error may have taken place in regard to the grave of
General Lee, since action looking to the removal of his remains has been
taken by the University at Lexington, Virginia. So I think it would be
better to have the Executive Committee investigate the facts and thus
possibly save this Society from making a mistake, as it was about to do
in regard to General Greene. I think we should have a committee to
investigate and ascertain the facts in this matter, as the assumption
here may be incorrect. I move to refer to the Executive Committee.

(Motion seconded, and vote put on motion to refer to Executive
Committee for investigation, and for such action as may seem best.
Carried.)

The President General: Is there anything else to come up under
the head of "New Business"?

INVITATIONS FOR CONGRESSES OF 1913 AND 1915.

Mr. VandErcook : Mr. President General, Illinois had the second
greatest gain in membership last year, and also we have come here with
the second largest delegation, New York having the largest. We sim-
ply desire to serve notice now that we will invite the National Society
of the Sons of the American Revolution to meet in the city of Chicago
on the third Monday in May, in 1913. (Applause.)

The Secretary General: The California Society, through its Trus-
tee, Mr. Mastick, who was unable to attend this Congress, has extended
an invitation to the Congress of the National Society to meet in San
Francisco in 1915.

The President General: Gentlemen, what is your pleasure in regard
to these invitations. I believe they should be referred to the Board of
Trutees, in the usual course of business.

SALE OF FLAGS AT POST OFFICES.

Mr. Thruston Ballard: At the meeting of the Kentucky Society
some months ago I had the honor of offering the following resolution
upon the subject of placing small flags of the United States on sale at
the diflPerent post-offices in the country :

"Upon motion by Mr. S. Thruston Ballard, the National Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution is urgently requested to call upon
the United States government authorities and request that small United
States flags be placed on sale in all Federal buildings of the United
States, in order that a patriotic spirit and love of country may be

1,50 SONS 01* THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

engendered amongst the people of the country, and the corresponding
respect and regard for the Flag be cultivated among all the citizens of
the States."

Mr. Charles Thruston Johnson, Secretary of the Kentucky Society,
sent a copy of this resolution to the Secretary General on the date of its
adoption, and this reply was received :

Washington, D. C, December 5, 1910.
Dear Sir and Compatriot : Referring to your letter of November 12,
in regard to the sale of flags in all Federal buildings, the Executive
Committee, at its meeting on November 19, found that the question was
one that the Committee could not properly act upon, and suggested that
it be brought to the attention of the Congress at Louisville.
Very truly yours,

A. Howard Clark,

Secretary General.

Mr. Ballard (continuing) : I simply wish to say to the members of
the Congress assembled here that this is a question to which I have
given a good deal of thought and a good deal of study. I have found
that the European governments, in their endeavor to encourage a
patriotic spirit, do it largely through their national flags. In many of
the countries of Europe each little kingdom of sovereignty has its own
national flag, and when they go into war each carries its own banner.
And then they have their general national flag, of course. I am sure
that the National Flag of our country, the flag under which we all
merge, does a great deal to increase patriotic unity of thought and idea.
Now, this resolution is merely a tentative one, and in offering it I can
say that we hope it will be amended or improved by your Flag Com-
mittee. We should be glad to see some action taken upon it by this
Congress. The resolution we have prepared is as follows :

Whereas the government of the United States of America has a
beautiful flag, emblematic of the Union of the States; and

Whereas this flag inspires patriotism wherever unfurled; and

Whereas it is desirable that the youth of our country should have the
love of country developed to the greatest extent : Be it

Resolved, That the Sons of the American Revolution in Congress
••assembled, do hereby memorialize the President of the United States to
endeavor to have flags of this country sold at all of the post-offices ; be
it further

Resolved, That the President General of this Society appoint a com-
mittee to present this resolution to the President of the United States
and the proper committee of Congress.

Mr. Curtis : I move the adoption of these resolutions.
(Motion duly seconded and carried.)

FACSIMILES OF DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

Mr. Wentworth, of Iowa : I regret very much that I was not present
yesterday when the President General read his address. I want to say
that the Iowa Society, on the 19th of April, voted an additional $50 for

PROCEEDINGS OF louisvili^e; congress. 151

the permanent fund. (Cries of "Good!" and applause.) We do not
want our State to be surpassed by Vermont or any other State ; we want
to be on an equality with the rest of the nation in this matter. The
Iowa Society, in the endeavor to cultivate a patriotic spirit, has recom-
mended that there be prepared, under the direction of the National
Society, a facsimile of the Declaration of Independence and a photo-
gravure copy of Trumbull's great picture of the Signing of the Declara-
tion, that may be sold to State Societies for presentation to public
schools and colleges throughout the country. We believe that the best
way to inspire a patriotic spirit in the youth of the land is to place in
our school-houses reproductions of such great historic documents and
pictures as I have indicated. The Iowa Society would like to have this
Annual Congress provide for pictures of that kind, with copies of the
Declaration of Independence, with the insignia of the nation placed in
the corner, bearing the stamp of genuineness, as it will, and place these
on sale. Many compatriots could well afford to donate them to the
schools of their respective communities. I offer this suggestion in
order to bring this matter before the Congress. I move you, sir, that
the National Society, or the Secretary General of the National Society,
be instructed to inquire into the cost of procuring reproductions of this
great picture of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, taken
from the original Trumbull picture, as also facsimiles of the Declara-
tion of Independence, and report to the Board of Trustees, with power
to act.

(Motion duly seconded and carried.)

(At this point Judge Beardsley moved to proceed with the election of
officers of the Society for the ensuing year, but on the suggestion by
Colonel Mack, Chairman of the Special Committee on Arrangements,
that the committee had carefully worked out its program, which had
been printed and circulated broadcast, and was generally understood
among the members, and that it would result in confusion and dissatis-
faction to make any change at this time. Judge Beardsley withdrew his
motion.)

The Secretary General read an invitation, received from the library
officials, to the effect that the museum at the other end of the building
was open, and that delegates, with their friends, were invited to visit it.

Mr. Barbour, of Michigan, offered the following resolution, which
was adopted by a rising vote :

Resolved, That we extend the thanks of the delegates of this National
Congress of the Sons of the American Revolution to our Louisville
members who have so generously entertained us and made this feature
of our meeting so pleasurable.

Mr. HuBLEY : Mr. President General, I move that a vote of thanks be
also extended by this Congress to the ladies of Louisville for the very
elegant and delightful manner in which they have entertained our ladies.
(Motion seconded and adopted by a unanimous rising vote.)
The Secretary General : Mr. President General, the Executive Com-

152 SONS OF THE AMERICAN" REVOLUTION.

mittee had a meeting on April 30, and passed a resolution commending
the proposed purchase by Mr. Butler, ex-President of the Ohio Society,
of the ancestral home of the Washington family in England. I move
that this Congress take like action — that it commend the purchase, giv-
ing it moral support ; not financial support, merely moral support.
(Motion seconded by Mr. Curtis and carried.)

WASHINGTON MEMORIAL BUILDING.

Colonel Lauman: Mr. President General, may I revert to the Com-
mittee on Washington Memorial Building, and offer the suggestion that
that committee take into consideration the advisability of suggesting to
the State Societies a special annual meeting on Washington's Birthday,
with the concrete idea of raising funds for the erection of this memorial
building. I w^ill suggest that they meet on that day, with the idea of
forwarding the project of this memorial building at Washington city.
It would give us a specific subject to work on, in addition to just send-
ing in our little check subscriptions. In other words, it would popularize
the idea and let everybody know about it, and we would have something
definite to work on. I offer this as a suggestion to the Committee.

The President General : Do you offer it in the form of a resolu-
tion?

Colonel Lauman : Yes ; I will change it to a resolution.

The President General: Will you formulate it in writing later?

Colonel Lauman : I will do so ; yes.

The President General: Gentlemen, you have heard the resolution
offered by our compatriot from Illinois. Is there any second to his
motion ?

(There were several seconds to the resolution.)

The President General: Does anybody now desire to discuss this
proposition? It is now open for discussion. Perhaps Mr. DeCaindry
can give us some information on that subject.

Mr. DeCaindry: I am not sufficiently posted on the matter to speak
about it.

Mr. Wentworth : I dislike very much to disagree with our friend
from Illinois, or any one else, but I am of old-fashioned Yankee
ancestry, and look upon our "holy day" in the same way they did. I
object to the financial proposition— to the idea of using this date to raise
money for this George Washington Memorial Building.

A Member: So do I. (Applause.)

Mr. Wentworth : I believe in getting together and celebrating our
appreciation of what George Washington did for this country— by at-
tending banquets with the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion, as we do and have done ; but I do not think we should have this
commercial feature mixed up with it; I do not think the memorial
feature should be connected with the financial feature in any sense
whatever.

Mr. Curtis: I fully concur with Mr. Wentworth.

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 1 53

Mr. WentworTh : I hardly think this Congress wants to pass this
-resolution in this hasty form. There is a good deal to be said on both
rSides of the question, and I move that this matter be referred to the
Executive Committee.

(There were several seconds to this motion.)

Colonel Lauman: I accept the gentleman's proposition. In justice
to myself, however, I want to ask the gentleman from Iowa one ques-
tion— if it has ever come under his observation that, on holy days,
there is sometimes a collection taken? (Laughter and cheers.)

The President General: Gentlemen, you have heard the proposition
of Colonel Lauman in regard to the Washington Memorial, and the
motion that the whole subject be referred to the Executive Committee.
Are you ready for the question?

(There were calls of "Question." A vote was taken and it was so
•ordered.)

The President General: Has anybody else anything to offer?

Mr. Vandercook : I should like to offer a suggestion to the Educa-
tional Committee : That is, that each State Society be requested to ask
its local Chapters to have published on the Fourth of July of each year,
in a newspaper most popular in the place of publication, a paper on
some historic or patriotic subject. This is simply a suggestion, and I
hope the papers would be willing to take it up.

The President General : The Secretary General will make a note
loi that and so advise the committee.

SONS OF MEMBERS.

Mr. Fyfe, of Michigan : Mr. President General, in looking over this
'Congress I see the faces of very few young men. Now I have some
boys at home, and when I go home from this Congress I am going to
say to them, "You must get ready and take in the next Congress of
the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution." I hope
•every delegate here will try to induce some new people to come to our
'Congress.

Mr. Wentworth :' Mr. President General, there is something wrong
with the members of this Congress if their sons are not members of
the Society.

Mr. DewEy^ of Vermont: I have been a member of this Society, and
three generations of my family have been, and I hope this will continue
until the seventh generation.

Mr. Wentworth, of Iowa : It is the example we set our sons. I have
sons, too, and one is old enough to be a delegate here, but business kept
him away. I would have been prouder than anybody here if he could
have sat at my side. He is a better man than his father. (Applause.)

Mr. Chandler, of Connecticut : I would like to say a word as to the
idea of securing our sons as members of this organization. Secretary
'Clark said that he had a son that he expected to take his place when
he arrived at the age of 105. I would like to ask the members if they

154 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

are making any special efforts with their sons to get them into this-
organization. I speak from experience. I lost my youngest son two
years ago, before he was a member of the organization. I have tried
to secure my oldest son as a member, but have not yet succeeded. Now
when we have a banquet of our State Society we invite our sons, and
I would suggest to the members here that they invite their sons to
their State banquets, and pay their bills, if necessary, to get them there..
Let them hear the reports and the speeches made, and after a while we
will get them in. We want these young men in the Society, and I hope
the delegates here will see to it when they get home that they invite
their sons to their State banquets, so that they may see what the Socie-
ties are doing.

WORK OF THE SOCIETY.

Rev. Joseph A. Vance, of Illinois : Mr. President General, the pur-
pose of this organization is not simply to glorify the past and those
who made it : it is as much to mold and inspire the present generation
and shape the future. It is present opportunity as well as the great
events in history that should engage us. It seems to me we would"
be doing a great work if we could impress upon our Educational. Com-
mittees the desirability of formulating plans by which the strength of
our manhood could be brought to bear on the problems of this day,,
just as the prowess of our forefathers was brought to bear on the
problems of their day. (Applause.) That is certainly a way in which
we would prove ourselves worthy sons of noble sires. I believe if our
Educational Committee would take this suggestion to heart, howevei'
awkwardly we have brought it before you this morning, it would work
for the increased usefulness of this organization. I think it should be
our effort to make the impression that this organization is awake to the
live questions of the day and do away with any false impression that
it is a mere picnic affair. I think if any people in the world have ever
glorified patriotism in the hearts of the rank and file of the people, it
has been the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution. (Ap-
plause.)

Mr. LuM, of New Jersey : I do not think this Congress has failed to
go on record on any question that has been presented to it in proper
form; and, referring to the present, its action just taken as to the
National Peace Congress now assembled at Baltimore, by which it
unanimously endorsed that movement, is an evidence of that. Most of
the questions of the day have two sides to them. Up to the present
time I think this Congress has dealt with every question that they could'
with propriety and safety deal with.

Mr. McClary, of Illinois : No one can properly accuse this organi-
zation of being a self-admiration society. It is as different and as-
opposite from that as possible. It has done more than any other simi-
lar society in the United States to promote patriotism in all directions^
and those who think otherwise are either misinformed or uninformed.
A committee has been working for two years endeavoring to get into

PROCKEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE) CONGRESS. 1 55

compact form a statement of the accomplishments of this Society,
through its several State Societies. If we could make our organization
a closer one we would all be better informed. I suggest that every
delegate here, when he gets home, make it a point to impress upon his
State Society the desirability of keeping in touch not only with the
National Society, but with each of the other State Societies. It will
tend to bring us together and hold us together. I would also suggest
that great liberality be exercised in the distribution of the Year Book,
and that great publicity be given to the fact that it can be had for
about 15 cents a copy. If you want to help make the Society a unit,
make out a list of compatriot friends and send it to the Secretary
General, with the small necessary remittance, instructing him to send
each of them a copy of the Year Book. I have for years distributed
20 or 25 copies among compatriot friends, and I think it effective work.
One thing which we are trying to do here is to make more National
our State Societies.

(A proposition was submitted, on behalf of Major Armes, that the
National Society erect a memorial building in Washington city, and the
subject was indefinitely postponed.)

On motion, the Congress adjourned to meet Wednesday morning, at
10 o'clock, in the convention hall of the Seelbach Hotel, on the top
floor.

Morning Session, May 3, 1911 — 10 a.m.

President General Marble, in opening the session, made an announce-
ment in regard to a Mammoth Cave trip proposed to be taken by some
of the members.

The President General : I want to make an announcement on my
own personal responsibility. It has come to my knowledge, and possi-
bly to the knowledge of most of the delegates present, that we are
honored today in this Congress by the presence of Colonel RoBards,
of Hannibal, Missouri, who, with Mrs. RoBards, is celebrating the
fiftieth anniversary of his marriage by making this his golden wedding
journey. (Applause.) If there are any young married men here who
would like advice from a veteran, judging from what Colonel RoBards
has told me this morning, I think he will be glad to give them a lecture
at any time before he leaves here. (Laughter.)

(The Congress extended its unanimous congratulations to Com-
patriot and Mrs. RoBards.)

The President General: The Chair will recognize Colonel Mack,
of Ohio.

VOTES OF THANKS.

Colonel Mack: Mr. President General, I want to move the adoption
of a vote of thanks. The gentleman with whom I have been associated
on the Committee of the National Congress to prepare for this meeting
is also chairman of a local committee. I refer to Mr. Rogers Clark

156 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Ballard Thruston, of this city. I have never known, in all my experi-
ence, such earnest, constant, faithful, and successful work as Mr. Bal-
lard Thruston has done for us here. (Applause.) Now while we have
adopted resolutions of thanks in a general way, I want this Congress
to vote Mr. R. C. Ballard Thruston a special vote of thanks for his
splendid work in our behalf. (Applause.)

Colonel RoBards : And I move, Mr. President General, that that vote
be taken as a standing vote.

(Vote of thanks carried by a unanimous rising vote.)

Mr. Curtis : Mr. Chairman, while we are voting thanks to gentlemen
who are eminently worthy, I want to suggest that there is a man behind
the gun that should not be overlooked, and I want to move a very extra
special vote of thanks to Colonel Mack himself. (Applause.)

Colonel Mack : A soldier always obeys orders from his commander
to do any special work, and he is not thanked therefor. He receives a
pat on the back and a "Well done, my boy!" and that is all. That has
already been given to me by the commander-in-chief of this army.
Therefore I do not need a special vote of thanks. (Laughter.) It is
not soldierly to do so.

The President General : Gentlemen, you have heard the motion of
Compatriot Curtis, of Connecticut. What is your pleasure?

(There were calls of "Question.")

The President General : The Chair will suggest that you pass this
resolution by a rising vote. Those in favor of it will please stand.
(All the members arose.) Colonel Mack, it is unanimously carried.
(Applause.)

Is there anything else now to offer under the head of "New Busi-
ness"?

Colonel Knifpin: Mr. President General, may I request you to ask
all the grandsons of Revolutionary soldiers to rise and be counted?
Not the great-grandsons, but the grandsons.

The President General : It is requested that all the grandsons of
soldiers who served in the Revolutionary Army shall rise. I take great
pleasure in being one of them.

(Thirteen members arose.)

The President General : One for each of the thirteen original Colo-
nies! (Applause.)

(Two additional members arose.)

Mr. Dewey: That takes in Kentucky and Vermont.

Doctor HalsEy : Now, Mr. President General, I would like to request
those who have sons who are members of their State Societies, or
members of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revo-
lution, stand up. I presume that will not preclude the grandsons.

(The members arose to the number of thirty.)

The President General : That shows that some of us are bringing
up our sons in the right way.

Mr. LarnEr, of the District bf Columbia : Mr. President General,
what about those who have no sons, but have daughters in the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution?

PROCEEDINGS OE LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 1 57

The President General : This is not a Daughters' Congress. We are
proud of you that have daughters. I have none myself.

Compatriots, if there is no further business to come before this ses-
sion, the nomination of officers for the ensuing year is the next order
of business, and we should be glad to receive nominations for President
General. It has been customary at times to call the roll of the States
alphabetically. Is it your wish that that be done at this time?

(There were cries of "No" from several members.)

ELECTION OF OFFICERS.

The President General: The Chair is ready to entertain nomina-
tions, then, for President General of this Society.

Mr. Crandon, of Massachusetts: Mr. President General, before pro-
ceeding to the nomination I desire to make, I want to voice my senti-
ments of gratitude for all the attentions and courtesies that have been
showered upon us so liberally by our friends of Kentucky. I arise to
place in nomination for the office of President General of our Society
a citizen of Kentucky's sister Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I
arise to nominate a compatriot who has served faithfully in his local
Chapter, and built it up from a membership of 25 to nearly a hundred
in his two years' administration : a man whose love of history, whose
natural feeling of affection for the traditions of his Commonwealth and
native town, made him see in our Society an opportunity for useful
work — a man who saw nothing in the dry accident of ancestry compar-
able with the opportunities to serve his State, and his brethren, by his
efforts in their behalf. The tablets and monuments which he began,
and to which his genius and zeal largely contributed, attest the enthu-
siasm which our compatriot has shown in the cause we love so well.
Our State Society, marking well his zeal, placed him on its Board of
Managers, and elevated him through the Vice-Presidential chairs to the
Presidential chair of our State Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution, and he gave us a splendid administration. You know him
well, compatriots, you have met him. He is familiar to you all. If
elevated to the National Presidency, he will give to you the same heart
and talent and zeal, the same quiet, modest, telling, enthusiastic work
that he gave to us, that know him and love him for his work. He is the
unanimous choice of 1,625 out of the 1,626 members who compose the
Massachusetts Society, he being the other member. He has built into
the warp and woof of Massachusetts, and he who does that can build
into the warp and woof of our country. He is a true Massachusetts
man, and that means a true American! It needs no words of eulogy
from me to prove his high character and his worth, for his fidelity and
willingness to serve, as shown by his own history in the Massachusetts
Society, are his ample testimonial. And he will justify your confidence,
if you will but call on him, as the exponent of the Commonwealth he
represents, to gain yet higher honor by yet more service— the only way
in which men realize on earth their dream of heaven. Mr. President :

158 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

"We learn from him that rugged truth and zeal

Win for a man true weal.
That e'en in midst of selfishness,
Blighting the world, such good hves bless.

And to our hearts reveal
True manhood's noble crown and God's approving seal."

I place in nomination, Mr. President General, as a tribute from the
heart of Massachusetts, Moses Greeley Parker, M. D. (Applause.)

Mr. PugslEy: Mr. President General, I am sure we appreciate the
spirit of fellowship which has characterized this Congress of the Sons
of the American Revolution. From all sections of our great land we
have journeyed to enjoy the courteous hospitality of our compatriots of
the city of Louisville and State of Kentucky. (Applause.) And we feel
assured that here upon this common soil of Kentucky there are no
sectional lines. We rejoice that we may clasp hands. North, South,
East, and West, as brothers. (Applause.) The charm of this meet-
ing here has been so great that we would like to continue longer
with our friends. (Applause.) And I don't know but that we feel
very much like the young lady of whom Doctor Parker tells us, who
was riding in a street car in cultured Boston one day. She held a book
in one hand and had the other in her muff. A young man came in and
seated himself beside her, and, the situation seeming inviting, he ran
his own hand into the other end of her muff and clasped the gentle
hand that lay there. She turned her head and said, "Young man, I will
give you just twenty minutes to take your hand out of my muff!"
(Laughter and applause.)

(A Voice: Was that Doctor Parker?) (Laughter.)

Mr. PuGSLEY (continuing) : Mr. Chairman, two compatriots, each
splendidly equipped to preside over this great organization, and each
splendid in service in his State Society, as well as National, have been
mentioned for President General. I wish that we of New York, the
Empire State, could this year rally around that superb representative of
the Middle West, Col. Isaac F. Mack, of Ohio (applause)— the State
which has come to be the "mother of Presidents." But this year another
splendid man from the State of Massachusetts seems to have the call,
and I want to say, compatriots, that I hope if Doctor Parker should be
elected this year that next year there will be no question about the
election of Colonel Mack, of Ohio. I think I voice the sentiments of
the compatriots of the Empire State when I say that we will rally this
year to the support of Dr. Moses Greeley Parker, of Massachusetts, for
President General. (Applause.)

The President General : Are there any other nominations ?

Judge Van Deman, of Ohio : Mr. President General and gentlemen :
I would be exceedingly glad if I had the eloquent tongue of the gentle-
men who entertained us last night, so that I might speak to you with
effect on this occasion, because I feel that some word should be spoken
that would burn into the heart and mind of every man present here.

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 1 59

Not, I mean, unkind, not angry; but patriotic, if you please. There
-ought to be in this Society, in my judgment, the highest type of patriot-
ism, unselfish and as broad as this great land of ours, and not limited to
any particular part of it. I observe in looking at the record that for the
22 years of the life of this Society there have been but two men named
for President General west of the Alleghany Mountains. Does not this
■Society desire the development of the great central and western States ?
I contend that there should be no sectionalism in this Society. We
should take our President General from the East, and from the central
West, and from the West, and from the South — wherever we can get
available men in each of these great sections of the country who will
undertake and do what ought to be done in these various directions.
(Applause.) I come to present to you a son of Ohio — that is, an
adopted son; he is a son of New York by birth. I come to present an
adopted son of Ohio; a faithful man, a man who has always been a
worker in the cause. He has been a true soldier; he showed that a few
moments ago by his remarks in connection with the resolution of
thanks voted to him and another gentleman on the Committee on Ar-
rangements for this magnificent meeting — arrangements by which he, in
co-operation with these splendid Kentucky friends, has furnished us an
entertainment that is unexampled in our history, and one that has been
so pleasing to us all that it will go down in our memories as one of the
greenest spots in our lives. (Applause.) Gentlemen, if Col. Isaac F.
Mack is made President General of this Society, he will do something;
he will do something for it. He will work for it, as he has the time
and the opportunity to do, and the ability to do. He will develop it in
the States that need development. Do not forget, my friends from
Massachusets, that a great many of your sons are scattered all through
this broad land of ours. Do not forget that where, perhaps, one boy
stayed at home, three went to help win the West ; and it is those sons,
and their sons and their grandsons, who have aided in the building of
the Empire of the West, who ought to be recognized by this Society,
and brought into its folds, and thereby be made helpful to you and to
all of us in the building up and perpetuating of the great principles for
which we stand. (Applause.) And if you do not stand for patriotic
principles, and practice them, we are not worthy of being perpetuated.
Now, compatriots, let me appeal to you, that the thing to do on this
occasion — now, not putting it off until next year, for we do not know
what may intervene between now and next year— I say the thing to do
now is to begin the good work by nominating and electing Col. Isaac F.
Mack, of Ohio. President General of this Society. (Applause.)

Mr. Chandler, of Connecticut: Mr. President General. T believe
every compatriot present will endorse all that has been said about
Colonel Mack. But, sir, Massachusetts, is my native State ; one-half of
my life has been lived in Massachusetts and the other half in Con-
necticut. Many of my dear and warmest friends have been members of
the Massachusetts State Society of the Sons of the American Revolu-
ition. Some of them have now gone to that Congress of States and

l60 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Nations on the other side of the river. Others are at present members--
of the State Society of the S. A. R., and some of them are members of
the Board of Management of that Society. I have never heard any-
thing of Doctor Parker other than of his enthusiastic and indefatigable
work for the cause in Massachusetts and throughout the country ; and I
sincerely hope, in rising as I do to second his nomination, that this
Congress will endorse and elect him this morning as the next President:
General of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolu-
tion.

The President General: Do I hear any other name for President-
General ?

Judge Hancock, of Pennsylvania: Mr. President General, I arise to
second the nomination of Col. Isaac F. Mack. This Society has resting
upon it the duty of looking after the growth and development of its.
membership. It is not a question of Massachusetts, it is not a question
of Ohio, nor is it a question of Pennsylvania or of Kentucky, but the-
man that you want to put in this position is a man who, by his capacity,
energy and zeal, will place this Society in the very front rank of the-
societies of these United States. (Applause.) I do not believe
altogether in sentiment; I believe that above and beyond sentiment is
efficiency; and you all ought to know by this time, those of you that
have been here, and have seen his good work in conjunction with that
of our noble compatriots of Kentucky, that Colonel Mack has given us-
the finest — away beyond anything — celebration that we have ever had in
this country. (Applause.) Now, I live west of the Alleghany Moun-
tains, in the great State of Pennsylvania. In the eastern part of the
State the Sons of the Revolution were established before we were. We
Sons of the American Revolution control the western part of the State,
but east of the mountains it is the Sons of the Revolution. We have
to meet a competition which you gentlemen in Massachusetts and Con-
necticut do not have to meet, and that same competition extends over-
into Ohio. Colonel Mack, from the very beginning of the Ohio Society,
has been one of its most faithful members. He has filled every position-
in its gift ; and as editor of a newspaper, there has been no event or"
happening in the Society which he has not celebrated in his paper,
thereby lending its material aid. As President of his State Society he-
was active in every part of the State. We know him in Pennsylvania;-
we have known him for years. While we may have differed from-
him in politics, we have always admired his sterling worth. And I want
to say here to my Southern and Western friends that, during the-
reconstruction days in the South succeeding the Civil War, when some-
hard things were said in the North against the Southern people. Colonel' '
Mack was never other than magnanimous and liberal in his expressions,
towards the men who had fought against him. and fought so bravely
(applause), and his paper always advocated the most gentle and forgiv-
ing sentiments towards the Southern people; and they are his senti-
ments today. (Applause.) Now, we had some talk last night about
Virginia. In the early settlement of this country Virginia had five or"

PROCKEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. l6l

six Presidents of the United States, and deserved them all. But the
time came when she lost her influence in the election of Presidents, and
that honor has now come to the State of Ohio, a daughter of Virginia.
Ohio represents the sentiments of Washington and Jefferson and
Madison and Monroe, and all of the other great Virginians ; and today
you and I are honest enough to know it is not impossible we will have
to take another President from Ohio, because we will have to vote on
both sides to overcome him. (Applause.) Ohio's list of Presidents
now almost equals, if not quite, that of Virginia. Now, let us place her
in a higher position still, and make Colonel Mack President General of
this Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, and then put him
still higher by making him President of the United States! (Applause
and laughter.) Gentlemen, we have no trade to make; we put him
before you on his own merits. We will make no trade for next year or
the year after. We believe that he deserves this honor, and that it will
work for the prosperity of the Society.

Now, it has been said that the Middle West, where the great pro-
portion of the population at the present exists in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Illinois, and Indiana — that great, rich, and glorious section of our
country — has not been properly represented in the offices of this Society.
I do not believe, personally, that there was ever any such feeling. But
there is such a claim, and it has affected us in the Middle States
somewhat injuriously. We have felt its influence; it has impaired our
growth— this idea that we have not been sufficiently represented in the
active management of the Society. And so T want to say to you now —
not because of the member from Ohio, not because of his eloquent op-
ponent from Massachusetts, but because we need efficient management
of this Society, and that the greatest good shall be done — that we ought
to elect a man west of the Alleghanies ; and we know that Col. Isaac F.
Mack will till the bill, and we know the great section of the Middle West
will receive an attention it has not heretofore received. I second the
nomination for President General of Col. Isaac F. Mack, of Ohio.
(Applause.)

Mr. Dewey: We have here two men so well known in their noble
work that it seems a pity they cannot both be elected at one time ; but,
as that cannot be, Vermont seconds the nomination of Dr. Moses-
Greeley Parker. (Applause.)

The President General: Are there any other nominations?
Dr. IglEhart, of Maryland : I move that nominations be closed.
(Colonel Mack here arose to protest against his own nomination.
He began by saying that he did not propose to second any nomination,
because he would have to second the nomination of both parties, and
he did not want to do that. To illustrate his position, he told the story
of the old farmer out West who, with his hired man, was mowing hay
one day. First one of them would take the scythe and cut a swath,,
and then the other. It was the hired man's turn, and he spied a hornet's
nest just ahead and he knew it spelt '-trouble." The old farmer made
light of his fears, and said he would not be stung if he would but cut

l62 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

right straight through: and, to show how it could be done, he took
the scythe himself and mowed through, with the result that might be
expected. The old man had said in his heart. "The wicked flee when
no man pursueth ; but tfie righteous are bold as a lion." But the hired
man recalled, "And the foolish pass on and are punished!") (Applause
and laughter.)

Colonel Mack then continued :

Now I don't propose to take the first swath where there is a hornet's
nest ahead! (Laughter.) I didn't come here as a candidate for
President General. On the 19th day of April, when my State held its
annual meeting, one of the members moved that I be the unanimous
choice of the Ohio Society for President General of the National
Society, and so the delegates were instructed. It went through with a
"Hurrah" ; but T said to them at the time. "Boys, I am not a candidate
for the office of President General, and I don't care to have the office.
I dread the responsibility of it ; I am afraid of the work to be done ;
and no man ought to want an office who does not do his duty." He
has got to do something if he expects to get the honor of the office,
and I was afraid I could not do what ought to be done; and so I said
to them, "I am not in it." I came on here last Friday to confer with my
fellow-committeemen and see that everything was in order. I am happy
to say that everything was in order, as you have found out. I learned
soon after I got here that some of my friends from other States were
talking about this move, and I said to them. "I am not a candidate."
Finally the Ohio delegation — they were all here — insisted on pushing
me forward. I said to them, "I wish you would let me alone ; I prefer
to be just where I am, a private in the ranks, and carry a gun instead
of a sword." But no: they would not have it. Now what the result
would be if a vote were taken I do not know : but I do know that I
don't wish to be as foolish as that old farmer. Therefore I withdraw
my name from nomination and ask my friends to support Dr. Parker,
of Massachusetts.

(There were cries of "No! No!")

Mr. Curtis : Mr. President General, I have been listening to Mr.
Pugsley's relation of a personal experience in Boston ; and. living next
door to Boston, so to speak, it occurs to me that perhaps if we support
the Massachusetts man we may have some similar experiences. (Laugh-
ter.) We seem to be up against an embarrassment of riches here. We
have two candidates that we would like to support

Colonel Mack : You have but one.

Mr. Curtis : But Colonel ]\Iack has very magnanimously withdrawn
his nomination, and I would therefore second the nomination of Dr.
Parker, on account of the Connecticut Society; and I move you, sir.
that the polls be closed, and that the Secretary General be instructed
to cast the ballot of this Society for Dr. Parker for President General.

Colonel Mack : I second that nomination.

Colonel Guthrie: The name of Colonel Mack is not withdrawn.

Colonel Mack : T have withdrawn it.

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 163

Colonel Guthrie : But you can't do it.

Judge BeardslEy : The gentleman cannot withdraw his name, except
Tdv unanimous consent.

The President General: Gentlemen, you will prepare your hallot for
President General. Colonel Mack, of Ohio, and Dr. Parker, of Massa-
chusetts, are in nomination.

Colonel Mack : I don't want to be put up to be knocked down ; T
never was in my life. Judge Van Deman is my friend and President
of our State Society. I want to ask him if he is not satisfied with my
withdrawal.

Judge Van Deman : At .the earnest request of Colonel Mack, if I
liave the privilege, I will withdraw his name; but, if T have not the
privilege, I make a motion that I be granted the privilege.

The President General : The Chair will rule that the gentleman has
that privilege, under the circumstances.

Colonel Mack : Then I make a motion that the Secretary General be
directed to cast the ballot of this Society electing Dr. Parker, of
Massachusetts, President General.

(Motion seconded by Dr. Halsey, of Arizona.)

The Secretary announced that the ballot had been cast, as directed.

The President General : Gentlemen, the vote has been cast, and I
have the honor of announcing that Dr. Moses Greeley Parker has been
elected President General of your Society. (Great applause.)

Colonel Mack: Mr. President General, permit me to say one word
more. I know how Judge Hancock feels. He and I have been personal
friends for many years. I tried to give him assistance when he was
President, and I know how kindly he feels towards me, and how others
feel who have been talking in my favor here. I want to thank them
all, and I want to assure them that in withdrawing my name at this
time it is not because of any lack of appreciation of their kindness
towards me. (Applause.)

The President General : The Chair will request ex-Presidents Gen-
eral Greeley, of Connecticut, and Pugsley, of New York, to escort the
President-elect to the platform.

( The gentlemen nafned performed this duty, and tlie President Gen-
eral continued :)

Dr. Parker, I congratulate you personally. Compatriots, Dr. Moses
Greeley Parker, of Massachusetts, your President General-elect. (Ap-
plause.)

Dr. Parker : Mr. President General and compatriots, T fear that I
cannot find words to express my gratitude to you for placing me in
this high office. It is one of the greatest honors that could be conferred
on any man, and certainly is the greatest honor of my life. I cannot
take it to myself alone : I take it as a compliment to my State Society,
the good old State of Massachusetts, and T thank you for it.

In accepting this office I pledge myself to do all I can for the increase
of our membership. To my mind we must look to the Chapters for
the greatest increase in our Society. We must do all we can for the

164 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Chapters ; we must encourage them in every way. Let them not be
content with only one or two meetings a year. Let them have more;
encourage them to have more, and have them use their local, social in-
fluence to attract local interest. This is the way the Daughters of the
American Revolution have increased their membership to the very large
number of 87,000.

It has been my experience that it is a most difficult thing for the
yoimg members of our Society to make out their papers. The making
out of their papers for joining the Society has been hard work for
them. In some Chapters one man alone has been able to make out a
large number of papers. For instance, in Massachusetts, Mr. Atwood,
of the Lynn Chapter, has made out the papers for over 160 applicants,
and made them members o,f our Society. Mr. Sterling, of New Jersey,
has done work of the same sort for his Society; and, in Bufifalo, Mr.
Steele has been doing the same good work. There is one point I want
to call your attention to in this connection : the Daughters have made
out their papers for 87,000 members. Those papers are on file. Those
Daughters have fathers and brothers, and many of them sons that are
21 years of age. Every one of these are eligible, and their papers are
all made out. We have only to ask them and encourage them and get
them interested, and any one can obtain a paper for them to sign.
Gather them in ! Gather them into our Societ}- !

Compatriots, I thank you. (Applause.)

( President General Marble continued in the chair to the close of the
session.)

The President General : The next thing in order will be the election
of five Vice-Presidents, and nominations are now invited for that ofiice.

Colonel Thompson, of the District of Columbia : Mr. President Gen-
eral, I want to nominate for the office of Vice-President a man who
has alwa3'S been zealous to advance the interests of our local Society,
and whose efforts have also been exercised on behalf of the National
Society, as is well known. On behalf of the District of Columbia
Society, I nominate for the office of Vice-President Commander J. H.
Moore, of Washington city.

Mr. Starr, of Indiana: Mr. President General, it has fallen to my
lot to perform a very pleasant duty — that of presenting the name of a
gentleman from our State who has been so closely identified, from the
inception, almost, of our organization in Indiana, that his name is
known throughout the length and breadth of the State as an enthusi-
astic worker for the Society. All of us, since we have been in Louis-
ville, have received a very pretty lesson in support of a great principle
enunciated by a great Englishman : that "Whatever is worth doing at
all is worth doing well." It is evident to every person here that the
Kentucky Society and those identified with the work of this entertain-
ment proceeded upon that principle ; and in Indiana we do the same
thing. In bringing forward the name of the gentleman I will mention,
I have only to say that he, also, has ever acted upon this principle.
He has performed thoroughly and well all the duties that have de-

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 165

volved upon him. He has been given the highest honor that our State
Society could bestow upon him, and in every position he has been
called upon to fill he has performed the duties of it carefully and well.

I take great pleasure in placing in nomination for the office of Vice-
President Mr. George O. Dix, of Indiana.

Colonel Mack : Mr. President General, I would like to have this
Congress elect as one of the Vice-Presidents of this Society Joseph G.
Butler, Jr., of Ohio. He is a man of high standing; has been a member
of our State Society, and built up one of the best and most enthusiastic
Chapters in our State. It would please our Society very much to have
Mr. Butler honored with th« office of Vice-President.

Dr. GuYER, of Colorado : Mr. President General, I rise to present the
name of a man in my State who is eminently qualified for this position.
His name is an influence there. It is the name of a man who, when
he graduated from West Point, stood the highest in his scholarship of
any student ever graduated. He holds that unique record to this day.
Tt gives me pleasure to present to this Congress the name of Gen.
Irving Hale, of Colorado, for Vice-President General. (Applause.)

Mr. PuGSLEY : Compatriots, I do not believe that in the whole history
of the Sons of the American Revolution you have ever received finer
entertainment or a more delightful time than at this Congress here in
Louisville, Kentucky. (Applause.) I believe that there is just one
thing that should not be overlooked at this time, and I want to suggest
to you the name of a man I believe we shall all be delighted to honor.
I want to present to you as a candidate for Vice-President of this
Society the name of Mr. R. C. Ballard Thruston, of Louisville. (Cheers
and applause.)

Mr. Curtis : Mr. President General, the time is getting short and we
have a good deal of business to attend to. I move you, sir, that nomi-
nating speeches be limited to three minutes.

This motion was seconded by Colonel Amies, and the Chair said it
would be so held, without objection.

Mr. Steele, of New York : I simply want to second the nomination
of Commander J. H. Moore, who was formerly from my city of
Buffalo.

Mr. Bacon, of New York: I desire as a delegate from the Empire
State to second the nomination of Mr. George O. Dix, of Indiana — a
young man ! As I look over this assembly and see some with thin hair
and some with gray, I am impressed that the thing we should do is
to elect this young man, who has done so much in Indiana to make his
State Society what it is today. (Applause.)

Dr. Halsey : Let me second for Arizona the name of Mr. R. C.
Ballard Thruston for Vice-President General and express the hope
that I may live long enough to come again to a Congress of the Sons
of the American Revolution in Louisville. (Applause.)

General GrEELEy : Mr. President General, I desire to second the
nomination of a man that has been mentioned here. He is known to
every member of this organization as one of its hardest workers, and

l66 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

as a man who has accomplished largely what has been done in Congress
in the bringing forward and making a success of measures we have
presented before Congress. I second the nomination of Commander
J. H. Moore, of Washington.

Mr. Dewey: Vermont seconds the nomination of Mr. R. C. Ballard
Thruston, with other nominees.

Colonel Guthrie: For the Pennsylvania Society I desire to second
the nomination of Mr. Butler, of Ohio.

(On motion, nominations were ordered closed.)

The Secretary General announced the following as being in nomina-
tion for the office of Vice-President:

Commander John H. Moore, of Washington, D. C.

George O. Dix, of Indiana.

Joseph G. Butler, Jr., of Ohio.

Gen. Irving Hale, of Colorado.

Rogers Clark Ballard Thruston, of Kentucky.

On motion of Mr. Moores, of Indiana, the Secretary General was
directed to cast the affirmative ballot of the Society for the five gentle-
men named for Vice-Presidents General. This was done and the Chair
declared these gentlemen duly elected.

In this connection the Chair announced that the Constitution required
that the order of precedence of the Vice-Presidents-elect should be
determined by lot. On motion of Mr. Wentworth, the several gentle-
men who had nominated the various Vice-Presidents-elect were selected
to represent them in drawing for position, which drawing was con-
ducted by the Secretary General with the following result :

(i) Joseph G. Butler, Jr., of Ohio; represented by Colonel Mack.

(2) Gen. Irving Hale, of Colorado; represented by Dr. Guyer.

(3) R. C. Ballard Thruston, of Kentucky; represented by Mr.

Pugsley.

(4) George O. Dix, of Indiana; represented by Mr. Starr.

(5) Commander John H. Moore, of the District of Columbia; repre-

sented by Colonel Thompson.

The President General : The next officer necessary to be elected —
the filling of which office gives us a great deal of anxiety every year —
is that of Secretary General. (Laughter.) The Chair will entertain
nominations for Secretary General.

Colonel Guthrie: I nominate Mr. A. Howard Clark, of Washington,
D. C, for Secretary General, and move that nominations be closed.

(This motion was seconded by Colonel RoBards. of Missouri, and
others, and carried.)

The President General: The Chair will entertain a motion that a
ballot be cast.

Mr. Curtis: I move that the Secretary General be excused from the
necessity of voting for himself.

• Colonel Guthrie: I move that the President General cast that ballot
f(i)r the Society.

PROCEEDINGS UE EOUISX II.I.E CONGRESS. 16/

(Alotion seconded and carried.)

The President General: The ballot lias l)cen carried for Mr. Clark
as Secretary General, and lie will take notice that the instructions are
that he shall not make a speecli, but shall have permission to print.

Mr. Clark: Gentlemen, I thank you. (Laughter.)

(The Chair invited nominations for Registrar General, and Mr.
Paine, of Missouri, nominated Mr. A. Howard Clark to succeed him-
self. On motion, nominations were closed, and the President General
was directed to cast the ballot of the Congress electing Mr. Clark to
this office. This was done, and the President General announced that
the ballot had been cast.)

Mr. Clark: Again I thank yoii. (Laughter.)

The President General: The next office to be tilled is that of
Treasurer General. The Chair will be glad to hear nominations.

Mr. Wentworth : Mr. President General, three years ago, at Buffalo,
I had the honor of nominating Mr. Secor for the office of Treasurer
General, a member of the Iowa State Society. This year, as a reward
for faithful service and efficient performance of duty, it gives me
pleasure to present the. name of John H. Burroughs, of the Empire
State Society, to succeed himself. (Applause.)

On motion of Colonel Guthrie, nominations were closed, and the
President General was directed to cast the ballot of the Society electing
Mr. Burroughs to this office.

The President General : The ballot is cast with the greatest of
pleasure, as I recognize in Mr. Burroughs his own successor and Presi-
dent of the Empire State Society. (Applause.)

Nominations for Historian General is the next order of business.

Dr. Whitaker: We are little in weight in New Jersey, but we are
earnest in endeavor. In view of the good work he has done, of which
j'ou have all known, and in view of the exhibits you have seen at the
places of our meeting, as well as in view of his manifest fitness for the
place, I venture to suggest the re-election of our present Historian, Mr.
David L. Pierson.

Mr. Crandon : I take the greatest pleasure, on behalf of the Massa-
chusetts Society — and I believe of the nation — in seconding the nomi-
nation of the gentleman from New Jersey for Historian General.

Mr. Burroughs : A year ago I had the pleasure, as a native Jersey-
man, of seconding the nomination of Mr. Pierson. As I still claim to
be a Jerseyman, I want to second the nomination again this year.

Judge BeardslEy : There are some of our officers that we love for
what they are, and others for what they do. David Pierson we love
for what he is and for what he has done. I move, therefore, that the
rules be suspended, and that the Secretary be authorized, on behalf of
this Congress, to cast one affirmative ballot for Mr. Pierson to succeed
himself in the office of Historian General.

It was so ordered, the Secretary General cast the ballot, as directed,
and the President General declared Mr. Pierson duly elected to the
office of Historian General.

The President General : The next business in order is the election
of a Chaplain General. What is your pleasure?

Mr. Vandercook : Our present Chaplain General was delayed in get-
ting here from Chicago, and almost immediately received a telegram
requiring his return. Therefore his stay was very brief. Next year,
when the meeting time of this Congress will be later, he will be able to
put in full time with us, and I take pleasure in nominating Rev. John
Timothy Stone to succeed himself in the office of Chaplain General of
this Society.

Dr. IglEhart : I second that motion.

The President General: Are there any other nominations? If not,
I will declare nominations closed.

Dr. HalsEy : I move that the rules be suspended, and that the Secre-
tary cast the affirmative ballot of this Society electing Rev. Dr. Stone
Chaplain General for the ensuing year.

(Motion seconded and carried.)

The President General : The ballot has been cast, and the Rev. Dr.
Stone has been re-elected your Chaplain General.

The Chair will now recognize ]\Ir. Stephenson, of Kentucky.

MONUMENT TO GEN. GEORGE ROGERS CLARK.

Mr. Stephenson^ of Kentucky: Mr. President General, I wish to
offer the following resolution :

Whereas Senator W. O. Bradley has introduced in the Congress of
the United States a bill for an appropriation of $300,000 for the erection
at Louisville, Ky., of a monument to the memory of General Geo.
Rogers Clark :

Resolved, That the National Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution, in annual Congress assembled at Louisville, Ky., heartily
endorses the erection of such a monument to this great patriot of the
American Revolution as a fitting recognition of his brilliant services,
which were of immeasurable value to our countr}^

Col. RoBards, of Missouri : I arise to second that resolution, Mr.
President General, under peculiar circumstances. I ask the indulgence
of the Congress. On hearing the courteous and complimentary remarks
of President General Marble respecting our golden wedding of a Son
and Daughter of the American Revolution, my heart goes out to him,
and I feel that he is not a Marble-hearted man. (Applause.)

Standing here in this noble assembly of men who stand for blood
and lineage, I want to congratulate you on your principles. You can
best serve your country in the domestic circle through your boys and
girls, well born and well bred. You can give no dearer heritage to your
country than the perpetuation of the pure blood of the men who
achieved American Independence. This is a time to express our ad-
miration of the men who achieved such wonderful success ; it is no time
for tears. I will tell you my connection with Gen. George Rogers Clark.

It was my privilege last June. 1910. in company with my friend Col.

PROCEEDINGS OF LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 169

Reuben T. Durrctt, of this city, to tell him at his home what T had
witnessed at Quincy, in our sister State of Illinois.

In May, 1909, I was an invited guest at the unveiling of a statue that
the State of Illinois had erected to the memory of Gen. George Rogers
Clark. Mr. Durrett said : "I would like to have been there : and
knowing as I do your family history, and in consideration that your
great-grandsire. Senator Hugh Logan, of Lincoln County, fought
under him, I wish to present you this steel engraving of Gen. George
Rogers Clark, with the expression of my personal consideration for
you." That steel engraving now ornaments my law office. And be-
cause of the fact of being -Kentucky born and Missouri bred. I stand
here believing we can make no higher expression of the patriotism of
our forefathers and the independence of our country than to vote for
proper memorials to and recognition of the men who achieved it. We
believe in George Rogers Clark as the Hannibal of the West — the
general who, by the force of his arms and the heroism of his men.
saved to us and added to our country the vast territory that stretches
eastward to Pennsylvania, westward to the Mississippi, and northward
from the Ohio River to the Great Lakes. And I wish to inform you.
if }'Ou have not read of it. that there is inscribed on that statue these
words, "A Son of Virginia, the Sword of Kentucky, the Saviour of
Illinois." He was a son of Virginia because Virginia was bounded on
the east by the ocean and on the west by the great Mississippi River.
He was the sword of Kentucky because from the district of Kentucky
he started the great movement to capture the northwest. He went to
Richmond, Virginia, and applied there to Governor Patrick Henry for
men and money to aid in this great project that his military genius had
conceived. It was from here, almost on this spot where you stand, that
famous expedition started out — an expedition by which, through the
valor of Kentucky and the sons of the Old Dominion, that magnificent
territory of five States was acquired, and remained in possession until
the treaty in 1783, when the valor of Kentucky and Virginia was
recognized in that treaty and that vast northwest territory became a
part of the United States.

Now, I second the resolution, and hope we may have here a unani-
mous approval of it.

(There were calls of "Question!")

The President Generai. : Gentlemen, you have heard the question
called on the adoption of the resolution, which has been duly seconded.
What is your pleasure? Those in favor of the resolution as presented
will say "Aye."

(The resolution was unanimously adopted.)

ELECTION OF TRUSTEES.

The President General : The next thing in order will be the election
of a Board of Trustees. The various State Societies nominate the
Trustees, and in case of failure of any State to nominate its member of

170 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

the Board of Trustees, the President of the State Society is named as
such. We will now hear the list of names that have been sent m from
the various States for membership on the Board of Trustees.

The Secretary General : Several State Societies have filed nominees
for Trustees, others have not sent in their list of names, and therefore
the Presidents of their State Societies will serve.

Mr. Dewey : I move that the Secretary be instructed to cast the one
ballot of this Congress for the nominees as read.

(There were several seconds to this motion, and it was duly adopted.)

The Secretary General announced that he had cast the ballot as
directed, and the President General declared the gentlemen wdiose
names had just been read duly elected as a Board of Trustees of this
Societ3\

The Secretary General : There is but one more motion to be made,
that the Secretary General be instructed to cast the ballot of the Society
for the Presidents of the State Societies as' members of the Board of
Trustees, where the Societies themselves have not presented names for
that purpose.

(So moved by j\lr. Thruston, duly seconded, and carried.)

(For names of Trustees see page 4 of present Year Book.)

VOTES OF THANKS.

Mr. Curtis: Mr. President General, we have enjoyed, and the So-
ciety has enjoyed, a most prosperous year. VVe have had a Congress
that I think has never been exceeded, and probably it will be a long
while before we have any one as good as this. And that has been due
not only to the ability and efficiency of our Committee on Arrange-
ments and of our local committees, all of whom have contributed largely
to the success of this Congress, but a part of it has been due to your
unfailing efforts, sir. The work you have done in connection with the
Executive Committee has been tremendous. We know you have done
everything for the Society that it is possible for any man to have done.
And before we adjourn here, I want this Congress to pass a vote of
thanks to our retiring President General Marble, and I ask the Secre-
tary General to take the sense of this meeting by a rising vote. (Ap-
plause.)

Colonel Mack : I want to second that resolution, but I want to add
a word to it. A wonderful thing about this organization and this
Congress has been the peace and harmony that have prevailed (ap-
plause) ; and it has been due to the happy manner in which the Presi-
dent has presided over our deliberations. (Applause.) He has stopped
the talk in such a pleasant way that the speaker who had not emptied
his bottle sat down and carried the rest home with him. (Laughter.)

Down here in this State of Kentucky there was once an old darky
preacher, who notified Sambo that he was going to preach a powerful
sermon on the following Stmday on the subject of "Peace from Heaven

PROCDKDIXGS t)F U)UIS\ Il.l.K CONGKlCSS. 17I

in the Form of a Dove." There was a Httlc hole in the ceiling in the
church above the congregation, and the old preacher said to Sa'iiibo, "1
want you to get up there in the loft, and when I am in the midst of
my sermon, and have got the brothers and sisters worked up good and
strong, I want you to let that white dove down through th-it hole."
Sambo agreed, and the preacher got up on the appointed day and began
his sermon ; and finally he got them all worked up, and he got to the
point where he said, "And the peace of God is coming down on you like
a white dove from heaven." He looked up, and there he saw, not a
white dove coming down, but a l)lack cat coming through the hole in
the ceiling. (Laughter.) The old preacher was dumbfounded, but he
gathered himself and he said, "Sambo, where is my white dove?" And
Sambo sung out. "In the cat!" (Laughter and applause.)

Now, when I got here I looked around for (nn- friend, Ballard Thrus-
ton, and I said to him, "Have you got any black cats lurking around in
your back yard?" and he says, "There is one;" and I says, "Go and
kill it, so the dove won't be swallowed up." (Laughter.)

Major Armes : I want to amend the motion as made to the effect
that all the retiring officers be included in this vote.

The Secretary General: Gentleinen, you have heard the motion of
Mr. Curtis, of Connecticut. Those in favor of it will please rise.

(The motion was unanimously adopted.)

President General Marble : Gentlemen, I return to you my most
hearty thanks for the compliment you have paid me ; but more especially
do I thank you for the courtesies you have shown me during the past
year. As I said in my annual report, I now return to the ranks, and
you will find me at all the succeeding Congresses, and ready to fight as
in the past. (Applause.)

And now, gentlemen of the Congress, I take pleasure in turning over
to my successor the insignia of office.

(Suiting the action to the word. President General Marble pinned
the President's badge on the coat of President General-elect Parker.)

There being no further business before the meeting, the Twenty-
second Annual Congress of the National Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution, on motion of Colonel Guthrie, of Pennsylvania,
was declared by the Chair to be adjourned sine die.

The Rev. 'Mr. McCready spoke on the subject of "International
Arbitration and Consequent Universal Peace." He said that it is no

longer a Utopian dream — that public sentiment the world over is in
favor of the idea — and he expressed the hope that the Sons of the
American Revolution at their present Congress would declare them-
selves in favor of it.

Delegates were presented with personal cards extending to them the
courtesies of the Pendennis Club, the Tavern Club, and the Louisville
Country Club during their stay in Louisville.

On Monday afternoon, at 12.15 o'clock, ladies of the party were
invited to the Louisville Country Club for luncheon, after which they
were taken on a motor trip, stopping at "Landsdowne," the residence
of Mrs. S. Thruston Ballard, for tea.

and accompanying ladies were entertained by a reception at the Pen-
dennis Club, Mrs. George Lewis Danforth, wife of the President of
the Kentucky Society, as chairman of a committee of ladies, serving
as hostess on this occasion.

On Tuesday, at 12.30 p. m., the delegates were taken in motors to
the Louisville Countr}- Club, where there was a buffet luncheon, after
which they were shown some of the country east of Louisville, stop-
ping at "Landsdowne" for refreshments.

At 4 p. m. the visiting ladies were entertained at tea by Mrs. Gilmer
Speed Adams at her residence.

At 7.30 p. m. the Kentucky Society entertained the general officers
and delegates with a banquet, and at the same time there was a banquet
for the accompanying ladies, both at the Seelbach Hotel.

BANQUET AT THE SEELBACH HOTEL.

The retiring President General, Mr. Marble, presided as toastmaster.

The first speaker of the evening was Gen. Basil Wilson Duke, of
Kentucky, whom Toastmaster Marble introduced as one the mere men-
tion of whose name in the newspapers during the Civil War had
"brought terror to the hearts of all of us young fellows in the North,"
but whom they Avere equally glad to welcome now and clasp by the
hand.

ADDRESS BY GEN. BASIL WILSON DUKE ON GEN. GEORGE

ROGERS CLARK.

Mr. Toastmaster and Compatriots, Ladies and Gentlemen : If I
ever have inspired anj^ terror in any one, it certainly must have been in
"the newspapers." However, that is a matter about which I am free
to confess that many a time the other fellow has inspired terror in me.
CLaughter.) But that time is all past now; "the sword has been beaten
into the plowshare" — I forget the rest of it — and we have shaken hands
over the "bloody chasm." (Laughter and applause.)

When, Mr. Toastmaster, we reflect upon the inception, the initiatory
phases of that "hard contest for freedom and struggle for independ-
ence." for whose splendid consummation Americans can scarcely be

BANQUET AT LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 1 77

sufficiently grateful, it is difficult to determine which of the Colonial
peoples earliest felt the impulse resulting in achievement so mighty, or
who among the sages and heroes whose names we so revere first gave
it definite expression.

When James Otis, in Massachusetts, manfully opposed the execution
of the writs of assistance, and Patrick Henry, in Virginia, thundered
against the Stamp Act, each voiced the feeling not only of his own
immediate Colony, but that of the people of all the Colonies.

When on the 5th of September, 1774, the first Continental Congress
assembled at Philadelphia, it was in obedience to a general demand and
almost universal sentiment, simultaneously expressed.

When on the 19th of April, 1775, that "shot which was heard around
the world" rang out at Concord, it fired a mine already fully charged,
sounded the note of predetermined revolution, and heralded action for
which every patriotic heart was prepared. In quick succession, with a
celerity which proved how ready and how eager all were for the trial,
every Colony responded with some act indicative of passionate sympa-
thy or stern defiance of the hated British rule, and the slogan of
resistance resounded throughout the land, as when in some army ar-
rayed for battle the roar of the signal gun is answered by the firing
all along the line.

It is not easy, therefore, I say, to determine to which particular indi-
vidual or Colony may be ascribed the credit of having inaugurated the
struggle out of which a heritage so glorious has come.

But if we can make no such selection among the authors of our
independence — among those who made possible the adoption of insti-
tutions in which, we think, are blended liberty and law, the rights of
the individual and the just obligations of citizenship, more wisely than
was ever known before — there can be, I believe, no such difficulty in
indicating those to whom should be accorded the distinction of having
done that which, more than aught else, assured the future growth and
material grandeur, the territorial expansion of this Republic; that
which enabled the United States, having been established, to attain
their subsequent almost unexampled power and prosperity.

Such recognition is unquestionably due George Rogers Clark (ap-
plause) and the two eminent Virginians who, appreciating his daring
genius, gave him cordial sympathy and encouragement — they could give
him little material aid — in what we are almost justified in terming his
inspired adventure.

In explanation of this statement, I may be permitted to briefly sketch
the conditions existing at the date when Clark undertook the expedition
which has been aptly designated the "Conquest of the Illinois."

After the termination of the French and Indian War, by which con-
flict was finally ended the long and fierce debate between France and
England regarding which of those nations should dominate this conti-
nent, France relinquished to England not only the Canadas, but all of
the territory she had previously claimed east of the Mississippi, except
a few small islands in the Gulf of the St. Lawrence and the island on
12 — SR

178 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

which New Orleans is situated. New Orleans and all of the territory
she had claimed west of the Mississippi, France ceded to Spain. .

Emigration from the Colonies on the Atlantic by those seeking new r
homes in the wilderness at once began. Directed at first to more con-
tiguous territory, it was later attracted, by the glowing accounts of
their extraordinary fertility, to lands lying beyond the Alleghanies.
Kentucky and Tennessee, previously visited only by explorers and
hunters, were entered by bands of immigrants resolved on permanent
settlement.

This territory had long been the favorite hunting ground of many
Indian tribes; of the fierce clans which dwelt north of the Ohio, and
of others belonging to the powerful Cherokee confederacy, which lived
farther to the south. Settlement in this region, therefore, was not only
difficult, but attended with extreme danger. The jealousy and sus-
picion always felt by the red man towards the white had been inflamed
by the recent events of Lord Dunmore's War into implacable hatred
and fury. Moreover, Indian animosity against the white settlers was
now stimulated by the English, as it had formerly been by the French.

In 1774 all of the territory included in the great triangle between the
Mississippi River and the Ohio had been, by order of the Council,
annexed to the Province of Quebec, and shortly after the beginning of
the Revolutionary War Colonel Hamilton, the British commander at
Detroit, organized the northwestern tribes and incited them to attacks
upon the new settlements south of the Ohio. This fiendish policy had
such effect that at the close of the year 1776 these incursions had
become so frequent and so unusually relentless that the whites had
almost given up hope of maintaining their ground. So incessant were
they, in the latter part of 1776, during 1777, and part of 1778, that the
settlers were almost constantly confined to the limits of their stock-
aded forts, and a few, abandoning the struggle, returned to their
former homes east of the Appalachian Range.

In this dire extremity they were saved by the sagacity, the vigor, the
dauntless courage of George Rogers Clark. Born in Albemarle County,
Virginia, Clark, when he came first to Kentucky, in 1775, was barely
twenty-three years of age. His occupation was that of land surveyor,
but he had some military experience, having commanded a company at
the battle of Point Pleasant — that battle which, as many of you re-
member, was an epoch in itself, by which the great tribes of the
Wyandottes, Shawanese, and Delawares were completely crushed and
their hostility quenched for the time being. At any rate, he was a born
captain and leader of men.

In addition to sound, clear judgment, an unusually audacious and
enterprising spirit, and capacity for prompt, unhesitating decision, he
possessed those physical traits and the personal prowess so necessary
to leadership among rude and reckless backwoodsmen, more than half
of whose lives had been passed in battle.

When Clark, having returned to Virginia for some reason, came
back to Kentucky, in the latter part of 1776, he at once perceived the

BANQUET AT LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 1 79

danger and the remedy. He realized that the Kentucky settlements,
so few in number and scanty in population, so isolated from each other
and remote from all support, must inevitably be destroyed if the at-
tacks of the Indians were systematically continued. Already the tide
of immigration had been checked. He saw, sooner and more clearly
than any one else, that the wild nature of the Indian was being con-
trolled by an influence which could give it methodical direction and
teach persistent effort to his bloody hostility. He saw behind the
savage the English commander at Detroit, who furnished him with arms
and ammunition and paid him a bounty for scalps, and the bitter scorn
and anger with which Clark spoke of that "hair-buying Hamilton"
evinced both his feeling and his purpose.

In only one way could the danger be minimized and the settlements
be saved, and that was by going into the enemy's country and striking
down the malign power which was impelling the red warriors upon the
warpath. And it was that which Randolph had in mind when he
bestowed upon Clark the appellation which so aptly described his mili-
tary character — the "Hannibal of the West."

Clark proceeded again to Virginia and submitted his plan to Patrick
Henry and Thomas Jefferson. Both warmly approved it. It especially
appealed to the fiery heart of Henry; for he,

"The forest-born Demosthenes,
Whose thunder tamed the tyrant of the seas,"

rejoiced at any opportunity of striking a blow at the enemy.

But Virginia was at that time herself very much straitened, and was
straining her every resource to the utmost to protect her immediate
territory and furnish men and munitions to the army of Washington.
All, therefore, that Governor Henry could do for Clark was to give
him a commission as major, authority to enlist troops, five hundred
pounds of gunpowder, and a small sum of money with which to pur-
chase a few military supplies.

When we think of the elaborate and costly equipment of modern
armies, and of how such an expedition would now be fitted out, this
meager resistance, however well meant, seems almost a mockery. But
with abundant pluck and hope he undertook the task. It was like the
son of Jove and Alcumena going forth with only his club and lion-
skin to perform the mighty labors commanded from Olympus, and in
his six feet four inches of stalwart manhood Clark, another youthful
Hercules, started on a mission also destined to shape into concrete form
and expression the will and purpose of the gods. (Applause.)

It was not until May 2y, 1778, that he was able to assemble the men
he could enlist, about one hundred and fifty in number, at the falls of
the Ohio. This force was composed of four companies, commanded
by Captains Joseph Bowman, Leonard Helm, William Harrod, and
John Montgomery. Pardon me, gentlemen from other States, but we
Kentuckians are proud of these names and cannot well omit them.
(Applause.) Simon Kenton, one of the typical pioneers, and compeer

and almost the equal of Boone in reputation and prowess, was the
guide and hunter for the expedition. Clark, embarking his men on
flat-boats on the 24th of June, descended the Ohio to a point on the
Illinois shore nearly opposite the mouth of the Tennessee River, and
thence marched across forest and prairie to Kaskaskia. He surprised
and took that village and the fort near by on the night of July 4. That
was the first occasion, undoubtedly, upon which the Fourth of July
was ever celebrated in Illinois. (Applause and laughter.) But it was
the precursor of many such celebrations, perhaps through centuries to
come, and certainly throughout all the broad lands upon which the sun
looks down in its course, from the shores of the Atlantic until its
sinking splendors gleam on the waters of the great Pacific Ocean.
(Applause.) Two days later Captain Bowman, with a small detach-
ment, took Cahokia, and Vincennes surrendered August i. Three of
the English strongholds and centers of Indian hostility had been cap-j
tured. Clark, however, was unable to adequately garrison these places,'
as his men were only enlisted for a short period of time, and he was
compelled to listen to their demands to go back to Kentucky and assist
in the defense of their own homes; and, relying on the friendship of
the French inhabitants — and he did so with justice — left only one man
with Captain Helm at Vincennes, so that that place was retaken in
December by the British commandant at Detroit. Late in January
Colonel Vigo, of St. Louis,, brought Clark this news, informing him
also that Hamilton had then only eighty men, but expected to be rein-
forced early in the spring, when he intended to march into Kentucky
with an overwhelming force. Clark at once resolved to act upon this
intelligence; but his small command was widely dispersed, and it was
necessary to collect some supplies.

In that day of diificult communication and more difficult transporta-
tion, all this necessitated delay. Nevertheless, on the 7th of February,
nine days after he had learned of its recapture, he was on his way to
Vincennes. It was the middle of a terrible winter. All the region for
many miles around Vincennes and through which Clark must march
was flooded and alternately a quagmire or an ice-field. Hamilton be-
lieved himself safe. He did not know the man with whom he had
to deal.

That march to Vincennes is almost without a parallel, even in the
annals of pioneer hardship and endurance. For days the men waded
shoulder deep through the icy waters, and slept at night on the few
hillocks which were not submerged. With little food, with little fuel
to provide fires, they pushed unflinchingly on, sustained more than
anything else by the iron will and buoyant spirit of their leader. Clark
reached Vincennes on February 24 and immediately began the siege.
Hamilton asked a parley, but it was sternly refused, and he surren-
dered the next day.

The immediate efifect of this expedition was an almost total cessa-
tion, for nearly two years, of Indian incursions into Kentucky. During
that period immigration, which had been previously checked, poured

BANQUET AT I^OUISVILLE CONGRESS. l8l

rapidly in, and when hostilities were actively renewed, in 1780, the
settlers were strong enough to maintain themselves. (Applause.)

Many have believed with Theodore Roosevelt (applause) that, had
the settlements in Kentucky and Tennessee been destroyed and the
settlers massacred or driven back beyond the Alleghanies — and but for
Clark's expedition they would almost certainly have been destroyed —
that region would have remained permanently in English possession,
and the American Republic would never have been extended beyond the
limits of the thirteen original Colonies. I believe that history will
accept this conclusion.

Is it probable that Englsfnd, had she been in undisputed possession
not only of the Canadas, but of all the territory between the Alle-
ghanies and the Mississippi at the date when the struggle closed, would
have consented to the terms of the treaty of peace of 1783, by which
she surrendered that vast territory to the United States? Is it con-
ceivable that the United States, then so restricted in population and
resources, could have wrested it from England by another war?

Is it not easier to believe that England, still holding this territory,
with the Canadas, would have continued to be a dangerous and menac-
ing foe in our immediate vicinity, not only retarding our growth, but
threatening our safety?

England's pride and prestige had been wounded, but she had suffered
little material injury by her defeat in America. She was still mighty
in arms ; indeed, more formidable than ever, in her almost limitless
resources.

In any event, perhaps, this continent would have been developed to
the same extent that we witness today, but it might have been done
under English and not American auspices. The greater part of it —
like India, Australia, and Africa — might have become tributary to her
colonizing genius and imperial dominion. Spain, in impotent decrepi-
tude, would have yielded her Louisiana, which France could never have
regained; and Kipling might perhaps have added New Orleans and
San Francisco to that choir of stately cities which, in his ringing verse,
chant on so many shores and oceans the praise and testimony of Eng-
land's wide-reaching sway. (Applause.)

In this connection, my friends, I trust I may be pardoned for calling
attention to three notable occasions upon which Virginia expressed and
emphasized the American determination that there never should be
permitted autocratic rule or alien occupation upon this continent : First,
at the beginning of the Revolution; second, during that period, and
third, in the post-Revolutionary period. First, when she protested so
promptly and so boldly against the imposition of the Stamp Tax and
resisted its payment; second, when she sent George Rogers Clark forth
on this eventful expedition into the wilderness of the West, and third,
when Jefferson, by the Louisiana Purchase, made it impossible thence-
forth for any inimical foreign influence to be exerted upon this conti-
nent. (Applause.) Without forgetting the glorious history of her
sister States, and with no desire to make invidious comparison, I think

l82 SONS OF the: AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

we may well render this tribute to that valiant Commonwealth "'whose
well-lab'ring sword hath three times slain the semblance of the King."

Did Clark, and Henry, and Jefferson realize the full meaning of
their work? No human mind could then have done so. They were
building better than they knew. But they understood — Clark best of
all — that they must do this work to protect and save their brethren
who had gone forth to subdue the wilderness ; and we cannot help
believing that Henry's strong sense and Jefferson's prophetic intellect
had some glimpse and forecast of the wondrous future. (Applause.)

Clark served his country, in after years, well and faithfully, and died
in poverty and solitude. In his distress he applied to Virginia for aid —
some small donation or grant of land. The Legislature of Virginia
voted him the gift of a sword. He declined it, saying: '"When Virginia j
needed swords, I gave her mine; now that I need bread, she offers me ;
a sword."

He lies in an obscure and almost unnoted grave; but the wide and
mighty West and its ever-increasing greatness is his real and fitting
monument. (Great applause, long continued, the Congress rising as
one man.)

ADDRESS BY REV. W. W. LANDRUM ON THE CLERGY IN
THE REVOLUTION.

The Reverend W. W. Landrum, D. D., of the Broadway Baptist
Church, Louisville, was the next speaker, and began by saying that so
much had been said, and so well said, that he would not presume to
trespass upon the patience of his audience for any considerable length
of time; that, like most of the railway systems of the country, he was
blessed with fair "terminal facilities" (laughter), and had no desire to
place himself in the attitude of the minister who, after a long and
prosy discourse, began his peroration with the question, "What shall I
say more?" and thereby moved a little girl in his congregation, already
weary and worn from his long sermon, to remark to her mother, "Tell
him to say 'Amen!'" (Laughter.) Dr. Landrum then continued:

War, said the late William Tecumseh Sherman, is — well, quite a
different place from that country where you, compatriots, hope to have
that great Congress by and by. The Revolution, of course, was war,
and doubtless it had in it many of those elements which General Sher-
man described as belonging to a warmer country. Notwithstanding
that fact, however, the clergy of the original Thirteen Colonies were
almost unanimously in favor of it. They were, to be sure, the servants
of the Prince of Peace, and they were sometimes reminded that their
attitude was entirely inconsistent with their calling. The answer which
they made to their consciences and to their country was something after
this fashion : "We are men of peace ; we believe in peace ; we are very
anxious to promote peace in every possible way; in fact, we are de-
termined to have peace, if we have to fight for it!" (Laughter and
applause.)

banqui:t at Louisville; congress. 183

Washington, at the very outset of the Revolution, appreciated the
services to be rendered to their country by the ministry. He believed
that no army would ever move forward to victory that was not swayed
by lofty conviction — a conviction which involved not only the judgment
and the conscience and the will, but the affections also. At the outset
of the war, there was a chaplain for every regiment. The General-in-
Chief required his troops promptly at the appointed hour on every
Lord's day to attend public worship, provided the weather and other
conditions were favorable. Care was taken that the surgeon of each
regiment should discover and immediately relieve an illness known at
the time as "morbus sabbaticus," or "Sunday sickness" (laughter) — a
disease which even now sometimes attacks, in our modern American
cities, the sons of our sires. (Laughter and applause.)

Congress, in 1777, made some slight change in the status of chaplains,
reducing their number, but putting a higher value upon their services
by raising their rank. In 1778 there were twenty-one brigadier-chaplains
or chaplains, each one assigned to a brigade. It was especially required
that the men chosen should be recommended to the high office by the
brigadier general, and that they should possess character, courage and
devotion to the cause of the Colonies. Congress approved the nomina-
tion of the general, and the appointee enjoyed the rank and full pay of
a colonel of infantry. We Kentuckians have always loved colonels — we
have made colonels of you tonight! (Laughter.) It is a land —

"Where the corn is full of kernels,
And the colonels are full of corn."

(Laughter and applause.) The chaplains of that day were men of
influence. They were more potential in arousing the spirit of the men,
many times, than the beat of drum or the roll of musketry. As a rule,
they took their texts from the Old Testament, having great care to
single out and expound such passages as best suited their purposes.
The experiences of the children of Israel in Egypt, under the hard rule
of Pharaoh, described the condition of our ancestors. Washington, like
Moses, was always .the master. The war itself was the wilderness
through which they were passing to the happy land of Canaan. To
illustrate their style of preaching in those days, a story is told of a
soldier of Virginia who went to one of these old chaplains after he had
listened to his sermon one day, and said : "Chaplain, up to the time I
heard you, I knew very little of God. and less of the devil ; but since
hearing you, I have come to the conclusion that I ought to love both,
and to pray that both should be on our side." (Laughter and applause.)
It seems to me eminently fitting that this Congress should have held
its first meeting on the Lord's Day, marching two by two from this
hostelry to Christ Church Cathedral for the worship of Almighty God.
(Applause.) There, our own beloved Chaplain, Dean Craik, of the
Cathedral (applause), had prepared for you an inspiring choral service
that could not have been surpassed in any cathedral in this country
(applause), and there Compatriot McCready delivered a noble discourse

184 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

properly befitting the occasion, and bringing before us a lofty concep-
tion of our duty in civic life today. (Cries of "Good!" and applause.)
As I sat there in the house of God, I thought that if the spirits de-
parted take cognizance of what is going on upon earth, the great
Chapters and Congress up yonder at headquarters in heaven must have
been pleased at such an inauguration of this Congress here.

We are not the men to deify our ancestors. We are not in favor of
turning our faces backward and declaring that our fathers were unlike
those of any other group of American citizens. But we are here to say
that men are always wise when they look backward to see whether the
ideals of the present reach up to those of the past. Our fathers were
men of reverence. They believed in God the Father Almighty, maker
of heaven and earth. They believed in a Lord's Day, which has been
set apart for rest and for worship. They believed in the Church, which
has always been the conscience of the community, and which, in every
moral and intellectual movement, has set four-square to every wind that
blows. (Cries of "Good!" and applause.)

We hear much in our day of the "new" theology, of the "new"
science, of the "new" woman, and even of the "new" Ten Command-
ments. But we are the men who are pointing backward to the old
theology, the old science — so far as it relates to civic government, to
the old church, and to the old woman — if that term can ever be ap-
plied to woman. (Applause.) Our object is to conserve for the genera-
tions yet to come what was best in the past. (Applause.) Others may
direct their attention at this time to the conservation of Alaskan coal-
fields, or to the water powers of the West, or to the mighty forests of
the Appalachian Range ; but ours be the task, compatriots, to preserve
those principles which illuminated the minds of our forefathers, warmed
their hearts and purified their lives. (Applause.) We believe that we
are a nation of destiny. We believe that, like Israel of old, we have a
world-wide mission. As we derive our culture from Greece and our
law from Rome, so we received our righteousness from Israel. America
has now reached a world-wide position : she fronts the East and the
West. The sun never sets upon the soil of our country. We are look-
ing towards the East and reaching out the hand of arbitration and
international brotherhood. We reach our hand out towards the West,
and seek to illustrate a nobler civilization in those vast empires that are
just emerging from the slow civilization of the past. We are a people,
therefore, that have a distinctly defined mission. Personally, I believe
that each and every one of you, as a Son of the American Revolution,
is as distinctly called of God to make America the civilizing nation of
the world as I am to preach the Gospel. (Applause.) I am not here
to debase the ministry or to drag it down to any position lower than
that accorded it in Holy Scripture ; but I am here to put my arms around
all my fellow compatriots and lift them up to the same platform that I
occupy, that they may understand that they are the ministers of God to
transmit to generations yet to come, and to diffuse all over the world,
those high principles which throbbed in the breasts of our Revolutionary
sires. (Applause.)

For there are hearts that ache to see

ADDRESS BY HON. W. W. STEPHENSON, OF
HARRODSBURG, KY.

For patriotism and prompt decisive action, for strategic movement
and dauntless courage, for masterly achievement and far-reaching result,
Isaac Shelby and his associates, for their victory at King's Mountain,
deserve to be remembered as heroes. This battle, planned and executed
by Shelby, Sevier, Campbell, McDowell, Cleveland, Winston, and Wil-
liams as officers, and a small force of volunteer untrained mountain men,
is memorable for having changed the face of the Revolution.

f'ive years had passed since that morning in April

"When once the embattled farmers stood.
And fired the shot heard round the world;"

But Independence was far from achievement. Clinton and Cornwallis,
unvictorious in the North, had determined to strike a fatal blow in the
South by attacking its chief city, Charleston, and then extend their
victories throughout the southland. Charleston fell May 12, 1780.
Camden and other strategic points of the interior soon followed. A
policy of confiscation, coercion, cruelty, barbarity towards the patriots
was adopted in order to crush the rebellious spirit. Whigs were forced,
as far as possible, by bribery and threats to join the British Army.
Patriot prisoners on parole were told to help the British or they must
be "treated as rebels to the government of the King." O, human
frailty! how few are strong to remain true to the losing side! The
weak, and they are always many — were cowed into swearing allegiance.
Clinton reported to the home government: "The inhabitants from
every quarter, declare their allegiance to the King, and offer their
services in arms. There are few men in South Carolina who are not
our friends or in arms with us." Walpole said, "We look at America
as at our feet." The storm of adversity lowered darkly over the
patriot cause. The British expected now that North Carolina would be
an easy prey and Georgia added without resistance. They calculated
that with possession of the Carolinas, Georgia and New York, Virginia

l86 SONS OF THi; AMERICAN REVOI^UTION.

could not maintain resistance, and the rebellion would be crushed. They
held all of the strategic points. The humiliation of the Colonies seemed
indeed inevitable. But west of the mountains of North Carolina and in
Southwest Virginia dwelt a people hard}' and brave and unswerving in
principle who would not know despair or acknowledge defeat. These
were Scotch-Irish, of whom Washington once said in the darkest
moment of the Revolution, "That, if all others failed him, he would
plant his standard on the Blue Ridge of Virginia, rally around him the
people of the Valle}^ and make his last stand for the liberties of
America.''

From their mountain fastnesses under the leadership of Williams,
Pickens, Sumpter and Marion — much in the manner of Scotch High-
landers— they harried the British Army.

Cornwallis had advanced by easy conquest until he reached Mecklen-
burg County, N. C, which had so early made its "Declaration of
Independence;" but there he found himself in a hornet's nest. He then
dispatched Col. Patrick Ferguson, a brave and skilful officer, to embody
the loyalists beyond the Wateree and Broad rivers and intercept the
mountain men and crush their power. Ferguson sent the word forward
"that, if the officers west of the mountains did not lay down their
opposition to the British arms, he would march his army over, burn and
lay waste their country and hang their leaders." Shelby was in Ken-
tucky surveying when the message of Ferguson reached him late in
August. He immediately rode fifty or sixty miles to see Sevier and
remained with him two days concerting plans. They determined to
raise all the riflemen they could, march hastily through the mountains
and surprise Ferguson. Sevier met with enthusiastic response in his
work of arousing the bordermen ; one-half of the men capable of bear-
ing arms enlisted for active service, and the other half remained at
home to protect the settlements.

Shelby secured the co-operation of Col. Wm. Campbell, of Washing-
ton County, Va., who raised four hundred men, and also that of Mc-
Dowell. Notwithstanding Shelby had taken the initiative in organizing
the little army to repel Ferguson, with unselfish patriotism he nominated
Campbell for commander-in-chief, taking no thought for self or place,
but for results that would save the day for the Colonies. Sycamore
Shoals, on Watauga, was appointed the rendezvous, and the scene there
September 25 was a memorable one. There were Shelby, Sevier, and
McDowell as leaders and brave determined men to follow. "Never did ,
mountain recess contain within it a loftier or a more enlarged patriot-
ism ; never a cooler or more determined courage." The little army
moved the next morning because Shelby urged that prompt action was
absolutely essential to success; and it was joined by other volunteers,
until on the 30th it consisted of 3,000 men, whom Ferguson contempt-
uously denominated "dirty mongrels," but in whose veins flowed the
blood of Scotch Covenanters, French Huguenots, and English Sea
rovers — all animated with one purpose, the destruction of the marauders
under Ferguson.

BANQUET AT LOUISVILLE CONGRESS. 187

Ferguson, learning of the gathering storm of indignant, outraged
patriots, began a hasty retreat towards the main army, sending ahead
messengers, who were shot. Finding escape impossible, he selected
Kings Mountain for defense, a range 1,700 feet high and half a mile
in width, on the border between the Carolinas. The immense natural
advantages of the position attest his genius. So secure did he feel
that on the morning of the 7th he exclaimed, "Well, boys, here is a
place from which all the rebels outside of hell cannot drive us !" At
3 o'clock the same day the American advance guard of 1,000 picked
men arrived at the foot of the mountain. When within three miles of
Ferguson's camp they met some unarmed men, from whom his exact
position was ascertained and a plan of attack was agreed upon, which
was to surround the eminence and make a simultaneous assault upon
every part of it. They advanced, the right wing led by Sevier and
Winston, the left by Cleveland and Williams, while Campbell on the
right and Shelby on the left composed the center. Shelby and Camp-
bell pushed up to near the crest, when Ferguson opened fire. They
fell back slightly and then advanced nearer. The British charged with
bayonets; but their ranks were galled by deadly flank fire, first from
the division of Sevier and Winston, then from that of Cleveland and
Williams and McDowell, while the center rallied and attacked now
their flank. "Shelby, a man of the hardiest make, stiff as iron, among
the dauntless singled out for dauntlessness, went right onward and
upward, like a man who had but one thing to do, and but one thought,
to do it." Thus entrapped, after an hour's desperate fighting, as the
Americans closed in, Ferguson fell, and his successor demanded and
received quarter. Of Ferguson's 1,125 men, 389 were killed or wounded,
and the remainder surrendered. The Americans lost 20 killed and 60
wounded.

This brilliant victory resembled that at Bennington in its suddenness
and completeness. The one was the forerunner of the surrender of
Burgoyne, the other of that of Cornwallis. No battle of the war was
more obstinately contested. The Americans were exasperated by the
cruelties of the Tories. To the latter it was a question of life and
death. The skill and gallantry of the officers and the valor of the
men who won the victory were not surpassed during the war. The
effect was far-reaching. The dark cloud which enveloped the South
and entire country in gloom was dispelled. Cornwallis was forced to
retreat. Thomas Jefferson said, "It was the joyful enunciation of that
turn in the tide of success that terminated the Revolutionary War with
the seal of our independence."

ADDRESS BY RIGHT REV. CHARLES E. WOODCOCK.

The Right Reverend Charles E. Woodcock, Bishop of the Diocese of
Kentucky, was the final speaker of the evening, and the toastmaster in-
troduced him as representing the "Tory element" of the Revolution, but
for which there would have been no opportunity on the part of patriotic

l88 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Americans today to celebrate the Battle of Lexington, Bunker Hill, the
Boston Tea incident, the Surrender of Cornwallis, the Declaration of
Independence, or any other of the great anniversaries of our country's
early history— no Sons of the American Revolution, and no Kentucky
Society ! ( Laughter. )

Bishop Woodcock said:

Mr. ToASTMASTER, Ladies and Gentlemen : If it had not been for the
Tories you would not have been here at all (applause) ; and if the
Tories had exhibited half the courage that a descendant of the Tories
exhibits in speaking here at this late hour, you would have been fighting
still. (Applause and laughter.) But I realize that if I continue to
speak you may feel somewhat like the man who married a widow, and
being asked six months afterwards how he was getting along, replied :
*'I am a whole lot sorrier her husband is dead than she is." (Laughter
and applause.)

Now, if there were time, I should like to give you a little good advice.
What is good advice? That which old men give young men when they
can no longer set them a bad example! (Great laughter and applause.)
Though the descendant of a Tory, I am proud to be an American citi-
zen. (Applause and cries of "Good.") I was born in America, and
claim all the rights and privileges that you have. (Long applause.)
While the Tories did not win the thing for which they fought, you are
the witness that they did not fight in vain, for the Tories gave your
forefathers of the Revolution a reason for existence, and the Sons of
the American Revolution something to honor and commemorate. (Ap-
plause.) As I look over this goodly company, well-kept, well-appareled
and well-fed, it would seem as though there had been no war since the
American Revolution. (Laughter.) You need to spell that word
"Revolution" differently: You need to drop the R and begin that word
with an B — "Evolution." It is the evolution of brothers, who once
fought on opposing sides, now welcoming each other in equality,
liberty and fraternity! (Cries of "Good!" and great applause.)

Were there time I should take great pleasure in speaking to you on
the pride of citizenship, on the worth of character, and on the love of
country — and I would willingly dispute with you, Sons of the American
Revolution, upon the question of love for this country, and the rights
and liberties we enjoy here. (A voice: "Right you are!") The recol-
lection of ancestry is the basis of national greatness; but I can see no
reason for the existence of an organization like this, unless it con-
tributes something to the country. It cannot live on family history.
I know some people who have so many ancestors that they have quit
work to look them up. (Laughter.) You men of affairs are prone to
say, in speaking of what a man is worth, that a man is worth so many
millions of dollars. He is not— he has merely got them. (Laughter and
applause.) A man is worth no more in the United States than he con-
tributes to the civic, moral and spiritual welfare of his country. (Cries
of "Good !" and applause.) The sum total of the character of American

BANQUET AT LOUISVII^LE CONGRESS. 189

citizenship is an unimpeachable American manhood! (Great applause.)
We welcome all peoples to this land, but we believe that America is
good enough for Americans; and if there be those here who think
otherwise, we will welcome their exit from this country. (Applause.)
We need an American citizenship that can withstand the evil forces that
work against us. We need big men, honest men, men that are true and
loyal. We should not estimate them by what they may be worth in
stocks and bonds, for it is a shoddy, plutocratic, un-American standard,
to estimate a man by his money. (Applause.) I honor and admire and
congratulate the man who has honestly accumulated money ; and I don't
care how much he has. A man has as much right to get rich as he has
to live, and I have no sympathy with those who are so yellow-minded
as to think because a man is rich there is something suspicious about
him. But do not measure him by his money; measure him by what he
would be if he had not a dollar in the world. (Applause.)

Now, then, we have a character to maintain. And what is character?
A nation, like an individual, has character, and the sum of individual
character makes the character of the nation at large. By its character,
a nation will stand or fall. What is that character here? It is the
combined, composite character of all the American people. It is not so
strong as the strongest, and, thank God, it is not so weak as the weak-
est; it is the average character of the people. And so it is we need
strong individual character, that the character of the nation may be
likewise strong. A nation will be judged by the kind of people it turns
out. The man we need is he who does not fail his brother, who does
not shame his mother, the man who loves his country, home and God;
that is the man we need in America. (Applause.)

If you would endow this land, but not by means of wealth alone ; if
you would make her strong, but not by army and navy alone; if you
would give her honor in the eyes of all the nations, but not because of
our national resources, our population or prosperity — if you would do
all these things, let it be through and by a people who respect the law,
and who would give their lives as they do their love for their country.
Let this be the land where politics shall be a vocation, where public
service shall be a personal honor, where the life of man is safe and the
honor of woman is revered. And that land is our land, for, God bless
her ! it is America. (Great applause.) "God give us men ! A time like
this demands great hearts, true faith and willing hands. Men whom the
lust of office does not kill. Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy.
Men who possess opinions and a will ; men of honor ; men who will not
lie ; men who can stand before a demagogue and scorn his treacherous
flatteries without winking. Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the
fog, in public duty and in private thinking." God give us such men.
Men descendants of the fathers of the American Revolution! (Great
and long-continued applause, the members rising to their feet.)
