ELMER MARSTON WENTWORTH,
President General.

Elmer Marston Wentworth, of Des Moines, Iowa, elected President
General at the Newark Congress, was born at Newfield, York County,
Maine, May 8, 1861, only son of John Norris and Nancy (Titcomb)
Wentworth. Compatriot Wentworth's ancestry includes both the first
Pilgrim and the earliest Puritan immigration to Massachusetts and the
first settlers of New Hampshire.

His membership in the Society is based upon the activities of Benja-
min Titcomb (great-great-grandfather), who was commissioned by the
New Hampshire Provincial Congress, May 24, 1775, to raise a company,
of which he was to be Captain, for Col. Enoch Poor's Second New
Hampshire Regiment, which was mustered in June 13, 1775. January 1,
1776, under the reorganization, the regiment was known as the Eighth
Continental Infantry, and on the 8th of November, 1776, it was again
changed, and thereafter known as the First New Hampshire Conti-
nental Infantry. April 2, 1777, Captain Titcomb was promoted to the
rank of Major, and on March 24, 1780, to Lieutenant Colonel of the
same regiment. After five years and seven months' service, Colonel
Titcomb was retired, January 1, 1781, on half pay "for distinguished
service," having been severely wounded three times and honored on
several occasions by the thanks of the Provincial Congress for gallantry
in action.

Mr. Wentworth has four other Revolutionary ancestors with civil or
short-term military service, and became a member of the Iowa Society
April 16, 1906, serving as Vice-President from April 19, 1909, to April
19, 191 1, and as President from April 19, 191 1, to April 19, 1912. Since
1907 he has been delegate to and attended every Congress of the Na-
tional Society; has served as National Trustee for Iowa since 1909 and
been a member of the National Executive Committee five years during
the administrations of Presidents General Marble, Parker, Thruston,
and Woodworth.

Mr. Wentworth married, November 5, 1884, Elizabeth Tilton Towne,
of and at Peabody, Mass. They have eight children. Edward Norris
and Walter Allerton are members of this Society. Mrs. Wentworth
and four daughters are members of the Daughters of the American
Revolution.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL CONGRESS

THE NATIONAL SOCIETY OF THE SONS OF THE
AMERICAN REVOLUTION

HELD AT THE ROBERT TREAT HOTEL
NEWARK, N. J., MAY 15 AND 16, 1916

The Congress was called to order at 9.30 o'clock, May 15, by A.
Howard Clark, Secretary General.

Mr. John Lenord Merrile: I have the honor of announcing President
General Woodworth, of the National Society of the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution.

(The members of the Congress rose and applauded as President Gen-
eral Woodworth entered, escorted by the Color Guard and a delegation
of members with drum and fife music.)

The President General: The Twenty-seventh Annual Congress of
the Sons of the American Revolution is in session. Compatriots will
please rise and salute the Flag. Flag of our great Republic, hallowed
by noblest deeds and loving sacrifice, guardian of our homes and in-
spiration in every battle for the right, whose stars and stripes stand
for beauty, purity, truth, patriotism, and the Union, we salute thee. For
thy defense, the protection of our country, and the conservation of the
liberty of the American people, we pledge our hearts, our lives, and our
sacred honor.

In the absence of the Chaplain General we will have the invocation
by Rev. Dr. Kirbye, of Iowa.

Rev. Dr. Kirbye: Oh God our Father, for the flag which is our
symbol of liberty, we give Thee thanks. For the fathers who fought
for it, for the mothers who sacrificed for it, for their children who are
true to it, we give Thee thanks. May it ever remain as our symbol of
liberty, guaranteeing that the rights of humanity shall not perish from
the earth. Amen !

The Chairman: The Chair would ask the Past Presidents General
to take seats on the platform.

Secretary Weeks: I have the honor of announcing the President of
the New Jersey Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.

(The members rose.)

President Adams: T have the honor of announcing the presence of
the Governor of the State of New Jersey, His Excellency Mr. Fielder;
and the presence of his honor the Mayor of Newark, Compatriot
Thomas Lynch Raymond. (Applause.)

(The members again rose.)

6o SONS OT THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

The Chairman : Compatriots, we are honored this morning by the
presence of the Governor of the State of New Jersey, and it is with
great pleasure that I present to you Governor Fielder, of New Jersey.
(Applause.)

ADDRESS BY GOVERNOR FIELDER.

Governor Fielder: Mr. President General and members of this won-
derful organization, part of the official duty of the Governor of the
State is to attend gatherings such as this and extend, on the part of
the State, a welcome to the delegates. It is not always that in perform-
ing that duty I do so with the extreme pleasure that I have today in
welcoming the members of this Society in convention assembled. We
feel highly honored that you should have chosen the State of New
Jersey as the place for your National Congress, and it is our desire
and our aim to do for you all that we can to make your stay with us
pleasant and enjoyable, feeling that it would be a very small thing on
our part to make what effort was necessary to accomplish that end be-
cause of the wonderfully good effect upon the spirits, upon the patriot-
ism of the people of other States who come to your meeting within our
borders. We feel that our State is peculiarly fitted or qualified for a
meeting, a national congress, of an organization such as this. We trace
our patriotic lineage back to the early beginning of this Republic. New
Jersey, as you know, was the third State to sign the Constitution of the
United States, and it was upon the soil of New Jersey that many an
important drama was played in that Revolutionary War which achieved
for the United States, the Thirteen Colonies and those who should
come with them afterward, the independence that we now enjoy; and
I am sure that you who have not visited the historic places and the
historic fields of the State of New Jersey will have even your patriotic
feeling and spirit stirred when you do visit them. There is recounted
to you the scenes, the important scenes, that were there played. It is
peculiarly fitting, too, that you should choose the city of Newark as
your place of meeting, because at this time we are celebrating the 250th
anniversary of its settlement. You will find Newark a typical New
Jersey city. You will find the spirit of these early settlers still per-
vading in a very large degree the citizenship of this city, and as you
find it here, so you will find it in the other cities and towns and hamlets
of the State of New Jersey. A society such as yours is an institution
of which any country should be proud, fostering, as it does, and keep-
ing alive the spirit of patriotism, the love of country, showing to our
newer citizens what liberty and what Americanism means, bringing up
the younger generation with a proper understanding of the years that
have gone before and the things that were accomplished by our fore-
fathers which make this country a happy country for them to live in.
We appreciate again, I say, the honor you have done us in meeting here,
and T extend to you, on behalf of all the citizens of the State of New
Tersev, the warmest welcome and the warmest greeting. Mav vour stav

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 6 1

here be as pleasant for you as we believe it will be profitable and en-
joyable for us. (Applause.)

RESPONSE BY PRESIDENT GENERAL.

The Chairman : Governor, on behalf of this Congress, 1 would thank
you, sir, for the hearty words of welcome to this great State of yours
and with the inspiration that you have given us in your words. There
is no more appropriate place for the Sons of the American Revolution
to meet than in the State of New Jersey, which was almost the con-
testing ground of the Revolution. We appreciate the honor of your
presence here ; we appreciate the opportunity of meeting in New Jersey,
and I know that I convey the sincere thanks of this Congress and
Society to you, sir, for your presence. (Applause.) We are also hon-
ored, compatriots, by the presence of the Chief Executive of this great
city, wonderful in its development from that little Puritan town of 250
years ago. He is one of our members, a compatriot, and I would in-
troduce to you Compatriot Raymond, the Chief Executive of the city
of Newark. (Applause.)

ADDRESS BY MAYOR RAYMOND.

Mayor Raymond: Mr. President General, Governor Fielder, and
Compatriots, I welcome you to Newark today on behalf of the people
of this city, and in doing so I cannot help expressing the feeling that I
have of the great appropriateness of your meeting here at this time.
Newark is in a reminiscent mood these days. She is commemorating
now the 250th anniversary of her foundation, but she is also looking"
back at the pageant of her history; and just outside the door of this
building were scenes of the Revolution, thrilling and important. This
old military common was a training ground for the men who went to
war and fought and died in it. Washington and his army of Conti-
nentals passed this site, and in this town there burned many hearts
aglow with love of country, not only in that crisis, but in the other
crises in which this city has taken its part. And now, gentlemen, I feel
that this Society is not formed or maintained as a self-perpetuating
sort of aristocracy of birth. I take it rather that it is formed to take
and pass on the torch of liberty ; that it is formed to perpetuate, through,
the generations to come, the great ideal, not the ideal of the king or
the mother country or the English Constitution, but the ideal of Amer-
ica. (Applause.) That is why it thrills me and warms my heart to
wear this button and this badge, because today, today we need to show-
forth our Americanism. (Applause.) We can do it with the blood of
ancestors coursing through our veins who went through the war and
fought for our liberty, and in doing that we can show forth to those
who have come later, but who are as true Americans, who I believe
are as much in love with her ideals and her traditions as we are. to
carrv on, send down to the generations that are to come, that wonder-

ful ideal. I often think, were there ever two written documents which
were generated with life and vigor more than the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and the Constitution of the United States? Were there ever
two sign posts that pointed the way of a nation's destiny as they have?
Those monuments on paper, it is true, were made vital and living by
the men of the Revolution whose sons we are. Now, gentlemen, it
affords me the greatest pleasure to welcome you to Newark, and I trust
that your stay here will be successful and pleasant, and that if there is
anything you feel you have not mat the city can give you, it is at your
disposal. (Applause.)

RESPONSE BY PRESIDENT GENERAL.

The Chairman: Mr. Mayor, I think you voiced the sentiment of this
Congress and of all compatriots, sir, when you stated that we did not
assemble because of social intercourse or pride in an individual ances-
try, or become members with the hope of political influence or self-
interest, or for any other superficial reason, but that we are members of
this Society because we intend, and our presence here is indicative of
that, to carry out the purposes of our Society as expressed in those
words, to maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom.
We appreciate your welcome here, sir. We are glacl of the opportunity
of meeting here, and I assure you that we appreciate the honor of your
presence, sir, upon this occasion, and the words which you have given
us in reference to the city and the purposes of our organization. I
thank you on behalf of the Congress. (Applause.) Compatriots, we
were fortunate in having as our host today the State Society of New
Jersey, that progressive Society, progressive in its membership, pro-
gressive in all its action, and I am sure we are glad of the opportunity
this morning of hearing from the President of the New Jersey State
Society a word or two of welcome, which the}' have already shown us
by their acts, but now would convey it in official words. I have the
pleasure of presenting, not introducing, the President of the New Jersey
Society, Mr. W. I. Lincoln Adams. (Applause.)

ADDRESS OF WELCOME BY PRESIDENT ADAMS.

Mr. Adams: Mr. President General and Compatriots, it is a proud
day for the State of New Jersey and the city of Newark when the visit-
ing delegates from all over this great Republic of ours come to New
Jersey and this city to hold their Annual Congress. The Governor of
our Commonwealth and the Mayor of this city have extended to you
the official welcome to the State and the city. It is my privilege, in
behalf of more than one thousand compatriots — yes, more than eleven
hundred compatriots in the State of New Jersey — to bid you welcome
to this historic Commonwealth and city. It is true that New Jersey
more than any other of the original thirteen colonics was the principal
battle ground of the Revolutionary struggle. There were actually
fought on the Jersey soil more than eighty different engagements, large

and small. In New Jersey occurred the darkest days of the Revolution,
as pointed out by our eloquent State Chaplain yesterday afternoon in
his most interesting address. Across the Jerseys, as they were then
called, our great Commander-in-Chief conducted that masterly retreat,
almost a flight, after the reverses on Long Island and in Ww York,
when only his unfaltering confidence in the righteousness of our cause
and his unfailing faith in the God of battles kept heart in the struggling
Continentals and preserved our little band of patriots from utter anni-
hilation. But, compatriots, let us not forget that while the darkest days
occurred in New Jersey, here occurred also that brilliant victory at
Trenton, followed by Princeton and Monmouth, and the tide in the
affairs of our devoted colonies turned to the flood which later led on to
the complete triumph of our cause. We are naturally proud of the
soil, the blood-stained soil, of New jersey. To us it is sacred ground.
we Sons of the American Revolution in the State of New Jersey. We
are proud of the history of our State and of its Revolutionary heroes,
but, my compatriots, we are most proud today that you, from all over
this great country, from all the States of the Union, have chosen our
State and our city for the purpose of holding your Annual Congress
this year, and in behalf of New Jersey, the State Societ) of which I
have the honor to be President, I extend to you all our most cordial
greetings, and we wish for you the most successful Congress in the
history of this national organization. (Applause.)

COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS.

The Chairman : Mr. President, we appreciate your words of wel-
come. You have demonstrated your hospitality already, and I know
that I am voicing what will be officially recorded later when I say that
we thank you, the National Societ}' thanks the State of New Jersey,
for the invitation and for the hospitality which you are giving us. I
will ask if the Committee on Credentials is ready to report?

(Mr. T. D. Huntting, chairman of the Credential Committee, reports
162 accredited delegates duly registered.)

The Chairman: If there is no objection, the report will be accepted
and the committee continued with power to register and report later.

COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS.

Dr. Parker: I would like to offer the following motion, that Cush-
ing's Manual govern the procedure of this Congress, and that all reso-
lutions to be offered in this meeting be offered in writing and be re-
ferred to the Committee on Resolutions without debate.

(Motion seconded.)

The Chairman : The motion is to the effect that Cushing's Manual
should govern the legislative proceedings of this Congress : that all
resolutions should be offered in writing and referred to the Committee
on Resolutions, which is a standing committee, without debate.

(The motion was adopted.)

64 SONS OF THE: AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

The Chairman : The Chair would announce the appointment of the
Committee on Resolutions, provided for by the By-Laws, as Compa-
triots Pugsley of New York, Bradley of Connecticut, and Wood of
Kentucky.

PRESIDENT GENERAL'S REPORT.

President General Wood wort h : In accordance with the provisions of
the By-Laws of the Society, it is incumbent upon the general officers to
report at the annual meeting of the Society. In compliance with this
provision, omitting any detailed statements as to those matters that will
be fully covered in the reports of the various standing committees, your
President General would render the following report :

The Twenty-sixth Annual Congress was held at Portland, Oregon,,
being the first Congress ever held on the Pacific coast. It is believed
that every delegate who attended that Congress came away with the
deep feeling that the meeting had been of great benefit to the Society
and had drawn the East and the West into a closer fellowship. From,
the activity of the Pacific States in matters pertaining to the purposes,
of this Society since the Congress, we can feel as though our meeting
had inspired them to even a greater degree of effort than had marked
their activity in previous years. The adjourned meeting in San Fran-
cisco was most appropriate as recognizing a State wherein the origin
of this Society had its inception. Particularly fortunate were we in
having the presence at San Francisco of the founder of this organiza-
tion, Dr. James La Fayette Cogswell, who was President of the Sons
of the Revolutionary Sires in 1875. All who were fortunate to par-
ticipate in the events which commenced in Seattle on July 17, and end-
ing in San Francisco on July 26, were deeply grateful to the thoughtful
and warm hospitalities and courtesies extended during this very inter-
esting week by the hosts of the Twenty-sixth Congress.

National Archives Building.

At the Portland Congress the following resolution referring to 2c
National Archives Building in Washington was adopted :

Resolved, That the Executive Committee be instructed to keep in
touch with this matter and to urge upon Congress, whenever in its
judgment the time be opportune, the appropriation of a sum sufficient
for the purchase of a suitable site for a National Archives Building in
the city of Washington and for the early beginning and construction
thereof.

This resolution was predicated upon the report of the Committee on
National Archives Building, which was appointed at the Syracuse Con-
gress, and was in effect a summary of the report presented by the com-
mittee. Your President General, from information derived from the
various members of Congress with whom the subject of Archives Build-
ing was discussed, believed it would be advantageous to have the matter
brought directly to the attention of as many as possible of the Repre-

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 65

sentatives in both Houses of Congress. To accomplish this, under date
of January 1, 1916, your President General, through a circular letter,
called this subject to the attention of all State Societies and local Chap-
ters with the request that these bodies should adopt resolutions in effect
the same as the one adopted in Portland, and copies of these favoring
resolutions should be sent to each member of the House of Representa-
tives of the acting State as well as to each United States Senator from
that State and the Speaker of the House of Representatives ; the
resolutions adopted by the Chapters to be forwarded to the local Rep-
resentatives as well as to the Senators of the State.

It was further communicated to the Committee on Archives Building,
which was continued by reappointment, that your President General
would appear at any time before any committee of Congress consider-
ing this subject. Owing to the unusual conditions prevailing in Con-
gress during its present session, the subject has not received the con-
sideration we desire. From the reports of the State Societies and local
Chapters, it can be stated that many of our units of organization have
acted favorably upon the request of January 1, 1916; and, further, that
a large percentage of the Representatives and Senators have received
copies of resolutions bearing upon this subject. It is to be regretted
that all of our units did not act upon this subject, as legislation is
usually responsive only to an expressed public opinion.

National Preparedness.

The Portland Congress adopted the following important resolution :

Resolved, That the Sons of the American Revolution, in Congress
assembled, indorse the sentiment for a system of preparedness on the
part of the government and the people, and the guarantee of peace with
honor, in accordance with the traditions and policy of our Revolutionary
ancestry.

In the circular letter of your President General of January 1, 1916,
he referred to this resolution and requested action on the part of the
State Societies and local Chapters as regards adopting resolutions of
similar purport, and likewise forwarding these to their various Repre-
sentatives and Senators in Congress. From the reports received from
the State Societies and local Chapters, it can be stated that many of
these units have acted favorably upon this resolution of national pre-
paredness, and that their views have been communicated to members
of both Houses of Congress through the forwarding of copies of the
resolutions adopted. In many instances copies of these resolutions
have likewise been sent to the Speaker of the House of Representatives
and to the President of the United States. Thus has the Society act-
ively participated in one of the most important national movements of
recent years. It is to be hoped that those who have not acted upon this
vital question will do so at an early date in the future.

66 sons of the; American revolution.

The Commissioner of Education and School Peace League.

At the Portland Congress the following resolution was adopted, re-
ferring to the United States Commissioner of Education :

Whereas the United States Commissioner of Education, Philander
P. Claxton, is reported to have expressed sentiments derogatory to the
American flag and criticized its defenders in an address delivered be-
fore the American School Peace League at Boston ; and

Whereas, although his attention has been repeatedly called to the
matter, he appears to regard it of little importance and has never, so
far as we can learn, denied the accuracy of the report as the expression
of his opinion, nor repudiated its sentiments ; and

Whereas the Sons of the American Revolution take particular pride
in the work of the builders of the Republic and hold in highest honor
the defenders of the flag that symbolizes the Linked States of America;
and

WhEREas no man is worthy of the privileges of American citizenship
who insults the flag or defames its defenders : Be it

Resolved, That the Executive Committee of the National Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution be instructed to present the
matter to the attention of the President of the United States, with the
firm belief that his high patriotism and devotion to duty will permit no
man holding such sentiments to remain at the head of one of the most
important bureaus of our government.

Resolved, That we protest against any further printing or reprinting
of the publications of the American School Peace League under the
authority of Commissioner Claxton at the expense of the nation.

It will be noticed that this resolution embodied the referring of the
resolution itself to the Executive Committee of the National Society to
present the matter to the attention of the President of the United
States. This important resolution was considered at length by the
Executive Committee, both at its meeting in Portland on July 21 and
at its meeting in New York City on November 29. In order that the
matter might be properly placed before the President of the United
States, photo-stat copies were secured of the various articles appearing
in the public press upon which the resolution was based, as well as
copies of the pamphlets referred to in the resolution as publications of
the American School Peace League. It required some little time to
secure these exhibits, and it was not possible to forward these in proper
form to the President of the United States until February 22, 1916. the
receipt of these being acknowledged by the President under that date.

On March 13, 1916, the President, further referring to a letter of
February 22, inclosed a copy of letter received from Commissioner
Claxton, addressed to the Secretary of the Interior, who in turn trans-
mitted it to the President with the statement that "he does not see that
the Commissioner has been guilty of saying anything unworthy of an
American citizen." The letter of Commissioner Claxton is dated March
4, and it refers to the request of the Secretary of the Interior, under
date of March 2. that he submit in substance what he said in his address
at Boston in the summer of 1910, referred to in the resolutions of our
Society. In substance, the Commissioner states the address was not
written, and therefore he could not submit a verbatim copy. In sub-

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 6/

stance, he advocated a patriotism large enough to make one keep in
mind the welfare of his country, a patriotism which would make a citi-
zen vote honestly and always for the good of his country, and one
broad enough to understand that the interests of the various nations of
the world are closely interwoven, and that the time had come for recog-
nition for the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Fur-
ther, he stated, "A flag, rightly considered, is not merely the material,
a piece of bunting of which it is made, or merely a combination of
colors. It is rather what it symbolizes and stands for * * *. I also
called attention to the 40,000 people (this is about the number at that
time) who, through migration from the Northwestern States, crossed
the Canadian border, leaving the territory of the American flag, and
seemed to be reasonably happy under another combination of the same
colors, symbolizing many of the best things for which our own flag
stands. This last phrase seemed to be the objectionable part of my
subject, but I am still unable to see that it implies any suspicion of
treason, if rightly understood."

He further asserts, referring to the resolutions, that they appear to be
based on a distorted interpretation (Boston address), and further as-
serts his sacred reverence for the flag of the United States. He ex-
plains his neglect to answer the questions of the Army and Navy
Journal as due to a disinclination for newspaper controversy. As to
the publications of the American School Peace League, it is stated that
these were issued under the administration of his predecessor, except
as regards Bulletins Nos. 8 and 12, which contain suggestions for the
observance for Peace Day in the schools and the brief account of the
agencies and associations for peace.

This whole subject was again considered by the Executive Committee
at its meeting on May 13, and the following resolution was adopted by
the said committee:

Whereas at the Twenty -sixth Annual Congress of the National Soci-
ety of the Sons of the American Revolution resolutions were unani-
mously adopted instructing the Executive Committee to present to the
President of the United States the matter of certain sentiments deroga-
tory to the American flag and its defenders, accredited by the press ro
United States Commissioner of Education, Philander P. Claxton, and
not repudiated by him, said resolutions protesting against any further
printing or reprinting of the publications of the American School Peace
League under the authority of Commissioner Claxton at the expense of
the nation; and

Whereas, also, said Executive Committee has complied with the in-
structions of said resolutions ; and

Whereas, also, said Commissioner Claxton's attention having been
called to said resolutions, he has in writing expressly repudiated the
sentiments objected to and has declared that he never gave utterance
to the same, and has further stated that no publications of the Ameri-
can School Peace League have been printed at the expense of the nation
during his term of office as United States Commissioner of Education :
Now, therefore, be it

Resolved in the judgment of the Executive Committee, That the ex-
planation of said Commissioner of Education be accepted, and that the
incident be considered closed.

The Washington Guard.

The National Congress at Portland adopted a resolution approving
the report of the special committee on the organization of The Wash-
ington Guard, and this committee, by virtue of the resolution, was con-
tinued as a committee on permanent organization of the Guard. This
committee rendered a report to the Executive Committee, which was
accepted ; and, further, the Executive Committee appointed a special
committee to consider the draft of the Constitution of the Guard.

During the past winter this special committee acted upon the draft
of the Constitution and approved the same in the form in which this
instrument was printed in the March Bulletin. By virtue of the au-
thority vested in the President General by Article 5 of the Constitution
of The Washington Guard as adopted, your President General appointed
as the first Governor General of the National Commandery of The
Washington Guard Compatriot John Lenord Merrill. Still acting under
virtue of said Article 5, your President General and the Governor Gen-
eral of the National Commandery have appointed Compatriots Webster
Bruce and Benjamin C. Allin as the two Lieutenant-Governors General.
There will be appointed later a Secretary General, Treasurer General,
Registrar General, and Chaplain General.

The organization of The Washington Guard is now perfected and its
future success depends on the activity of our members in organizing
State Commanderies and local Posts throughout the various States
where this Society is now organized. The opportunities to make this
a most valuable auxiliary of our Society are very great. It takes a
boy at the age when he is susceptible to all influences and seeks to in-
culcate a spirit of patriotism. It should be likewise a most valuable
recruiting bureau for future members of this Society. Already there
has been a large number of enrolments in the States of New Jersey,
Massachusetts, and Illinois, and there appears to be no good reason why
this enrolment should not develop in all the States. Your President
General would recommend to the State Societies where State Com-
manderies are being organized that they should so amend their By-Laws
as to admit a member of The Washington Guard, upon reaching his
majority, to membership in this Society without the payment of any
initiation fee.

The hearty thanks of this Society are due to the committee having
had this subject in charge for the time and energy devoted to its per-
fection. It has involved considerable study and work, all of which has
been most faithfully done by the committee.

Co-OPERATION WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS.

During the past year your President General has been in receipt of
many invitations from various organizations interested in different ways
in the subject of "preparedness," as well as relief work, to co-operate
with these associations through the appointment of representatives to

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 69

serve on their various executive committees or boards of managers.
Your President General has considered that it was inadvisable to ally
this Society in this manner and beyond his vested power to bind the
Society to any such action. However, as regards the national meeting
of the National Security Defense League in Washington on January
19, 1916, which convention was composed of delegates from various
parts of the country and various organizations, your President General
requested our compatriot the Hon. David Jayne Hill to represent the
Society and state our position on the subject; also, at the national meet-
ing of the Navy League in Washington, on April 19, 1916, your Presi-
dent General appointed Admirals Colby M. Chester and T. F. Jewell to
represent the Society.

Americanization Work.

In connection with our Americanization work, your President Gen-
eral and several members of the Executive Committee had an instruct-
ive conference with some of the members of the National Americaniza-
tion Committee in November, and since that time we have further
aided this committee in some of its work and received some assistance
along our lines of work in this direction. Your President General
likewise brought this important subject to the attention of all the State
Societies and local Chapters, suggesting local co-operation by our vari-
ous units with local boards of trade or chambers of commerce and
associations of manufacturers, as experience has demonstrated that by
working in conjunction with local organizations of this character, while
taking the leadership, we have been able to secure much more effective
results. The subject also has been brought to the attention of the State
Societies and local Chapters of the co-operation which they can secure
from the Bureau of Naturalization of the United States Department of
Labor, both as regards work in the public schools and as regards lists
of those being naturalized or taking out their first papers for naturali-
zation. In this important work of Americanization — and it is perhaps
the most important subject now before the American people, as upon
an effective solution of the problem depends the future national unity
of the United States — your President General cannot too strongly rec-
ommend the attention of the State Societies and local Chapters in this
direction. It is very gratifying indeed to report that many of our
Societies have been active in this field, and their activity can only result
in accomplishing much good for the welfare of our country, as well as
giving satisfaction to those engaged in this work of aiding in a very
practical beneficial purpose.

The Chapter System.

As the extent of the influence of this Society naturally depends on
its membership, there is no more important subject to be considered-
than the methods of increasing membership. The assertion will hardly
be challenged that we probably have not more than one-fifth of the

JO SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

membership that should be enrolled. The method, then, of extending
the membership is a most important one. From the observations which
your President General has been able to make and the information
which he has been able to secure from compatriots in all portions of
the country, he is convinced that the development of the local Chapter
is the best method of increasing our membership, through stimulating
local interest. While this subject of Chapters is entirely within the
control of the State Societies under our present form of organization,
yet, as we are all working for a common purpose, namely, the welfare
of our country, suggestions along lines of improvement can appro-
priately, it would seem, come from the National Society to the State
Societies. Your President General, then, earnestly recommends that
this subject be considered, both with a view of extending the Chapters
in the States where they exist as well as extending the system in States
where at present there are no Chapters.

Further, in connection with this subject, a study of the situation and
consultation with many compatriots leads to the belief that where our
Chapter system is adopted by a State it is advisable that all members
of the State Society be enrolled in some one of the Chapters of the
State. Indeed, a general reorganization of our present State system
along the lines adopted successfully by some of our kindred Societies
and along the same lines upon which the National Society has been
conducted since its inception, namely, the holding of the annual meeting
in different cities and action at such meetings through the medium of
duly elected delegates, is an important subject, deserving of careful and
mature consideration by all who are looking forward alone to the fu-
ture welfare of this Society. Local effort and local interest can alone
build up the Society. Whatever action that encourages this interest
should be adopted. This belief of your President General is shared by
many other compatriots who have given the subject careful study, and
it is respectfully recommended that this Congress consider the subject
of the appointment of a suitable committee to thoroughly examine this
subject and to report its findings and conclusions to the following
Congress.

The Permanent Fund.

The Society will be interested in the report of the Treasurer General
on the Permanent Fund, that it has been increased during the past year
by the generous gift of a thousand-dollar bond by my distinguished
predecessor in office, Mr. R. C. Ballard Thruston. This makes the
amount of the Permanent Fund eight thousand dollars.

In connection with this subject, it would be well if the compatriots
would give a method of increasing this fund their careful consideration,
as, so far, no plan seems to have been formulated to this end, though
the desirability of a larger Permanent Fund is unquestionable, as the
demands made upon us as a leading patriotic organization are con-
stantly increasing and much work that we should properly do is left
undone because of the lack of income.

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. J I

The National Year Book.

In connection with the subject of the National Year Book, published
by the Society, particular attention is called to the valuable information
contained in this book and the desirability of extending its circulation
as far as possible among the members of the Society. Last year the
innovation was made of having the Secretary General send a letter to
the State Societies and Chapters asking for subscriptions to the Year
Book for their respective organizations, at the price of twenty-five
cents per volume, delivered. Owing to the lateness of the Congress, it
was impossible to send this letter out until just before the book was
published; yet the response to this letter was gratifying, in that the
edition for 1915 was fifteen hundred copies, which was five hundred
more than in the previous edition. This edition of 1915 was completely
exhausted and many requests for copies made since last December re-
main unfilled. It is a question whether it would not well repay any
State Society or Chapter to purchase a quantity of these Year Books
each year for distribution to their members. This has been done in
the past year in a few instances, and the reports indicate an appreciation
on the part of the members receiving the book. It is trusted the same
plan will be followed the present year, and that with an early issuing
of a letter from the Secretary General that even a greater increase will
be made to the edition necessary to fill the orders for the coming
volume.

While your President General appreciates that what he is about to
say is not germane in this report as called for by the By-Laws, never-
theless he wishes to take this opportunity of expressing his deep sense
of appreciation of the honor bestowed upon him by his election as your
presiding officer; also he is very grateful for the opportunity of having
had the privilege of extending his active work over a larger field. It
is a privilege that any American could well value. He would also ex-
press at this time his appreciation of the many courtesies that have
been extended to him through his term of office. He regrets he has
been unable to accept some of the invitations which have been ex-
tended, on account of having previous engagements for those dates.

In conclusion, your President General would again thank you for the
honor of the ' privilege of making this report, and would assure the
members of this Society there is a strong active interest in our ranks
at the present time, and your President General is confident the future
holds forth greater promises than ever before of an opportunity to in-
crease our membership on the valid reasons of the Society giving-
greater aid than ever before toward the welfare of our country. Like-
wise he would have recorded the very valuable and efficient services,
rendered to the Society by the members of the Executive Committee
and the members of other committees. No inquiry has been made for
information or call for service made that has not received prompt re-
sponse. The appreciation of the Society at large is due to these com-

patriots who have so cheerfully given both of their time and means to
advancing the purposes of the Sons of the American Revolution.
Respectfully submitted,

Neweee B. Woodworth,

President General.

REPORT OF TRUSTEES AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

The Chairman : The report of the Trustees and Executive Commit^
tee is next in order.

The Secretary General : Mr. President General, on account of the
large body of material contained in the several reports to be presented
today, I will abbreviate them unless there is call for a full statement.
The report of the Board of Trustees is an abstract of the proceedings
of its meetings at Portland, Oregon, on July 20, 1915, and at Newark
May 15, 1916, and of meetings of the Executive Committee at Portland
on July 21, 191 5, at New York on November 29, 1915, and at Newark
on May 13, 1916.

At the meeting of July 20 the Trustees confirmed the appointment of
the Executive Committee, accepted the invitation of the New Jersey
Society for the Twenty-seventh Congress, and made appropriations for
the publication of the Year Book and the Official Bulletin. Amend-
ments were made to the By-Laws by establishing a standing Committee
on Resolutions, regulating the wearing of the President General's
badge, and requiring that, upon the purchase of a badge, every member
shall sign an agreement as to return of the badge to the Society under
certain conditions.

The Executive Committee, at its meeting on July 21, arranged for
carrying on the general activities of the year through the office of the
Secretary General and Registrar General and the several National Com-
mittees. The President General was authorized to transmit to the
President of the United States certain resolutions adopted by the Con-
gress in regard to the United States Commissioner of Education and
the American School Peace League. The President General has re-
ported what was done by him and by the Committee in this connection.

At the November meeting the Executive Committee received reports
from the several National Committees, particularly with reference to
organization work and the formation of local Chapters. The Ameri-
canization Committee submitted a resolution recommending the issu-
ance of a manual of citizenship by the U. S. Department of Labor,
which was adopted. At this meeting the committee accepted in behalf
of the entire Society a $1,000 5 per cent bond presented by Compatriot
Thruston as an addition to the Permanent Fund, thus increasing the
investment to $8,000; and on May 13 the committee voted to appropriate
from the general fund such amount as may be necessary, when added
to the sum of $491.66 in cash on hand to the credit of that fund, to
purchase another $1,000 bond, thereby increasing the investment to
$9,000.

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. /3

At the Portland Congress, Compatriots John Lenord Merrill, of New-
Jersey; Benjamin C. Allin, of Illinois, and Webster Bruce, of Massa-
chusetts, the Committee on Organization of The Washington Guard,
presented a report which was adopted, thereby instituting The Wash-
ington Guard of the National Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution. The committee was authorized to adopt a Constitution, to
be submitted to the Executive Committee of the National Society for
approval or correction, and at its meeting on November 29, 191 5, the
Executive Committee adopted a form of Constitution thus submitted,
subject to the approval of a special committee, consisting of the Presi-
dent General, the Secretary General, Mr. Merrill, and Judge Henry
Stockbridge, appointed with power to act. The special committee hav-
ing agreed upon a form of Constitution, it was promulgated in the
Official Bulletin for March, 1916, by order of the President General,
ex officio the Honorary Commander-in-Chief of The Washington
Guard, and by authority of Article V, Section 1, he appointed John
Lenord Merrill, of New Jersey, the first Governor General. Compa-
triots Benjamin C. Allin and Webster Bruce have since been appointed
as the Lieutenant Governors General.

The full proceedings of the several meetings of the Trustees and the
Executive Committee at Portland and New York appear in the Official
Bulletins for June and December, 1915.

MINUTES OF TWENTY-SIXTH CONGRESS.

The Chairman: The minutes of the last Congress have not been yet
formally approved. They have been published in the Year Book, how-
•ever. What is your pleasure as regards them?

Mr. Thruston : I move that the minutes of the previous Congress
.as published in the National Year Book for 1915 be approved.

(The motion was seconded and adopted.)

The Chairman : Next is the report of the Secretary General.

(At this point ex-Governor Franklin Murphy, Past President General
of the Society, entered and the Congress rose and received him with
applause.)

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY GENERAL.

Compatriots : Your Secretary General has the honor to report that
the steady increase in the general business of his office during the past
year indicates healthy activity in patriotic work throughout the Society.
There has been constant inquiry for suggestions as to what new lines
of work might be undertaken, work of immediate practical importance
in preserving and advancing those real American institutions and prin-
ciples established by the patriots whose deeds are revered by this or-
ganization. There is an eagerness to be doing something more than the
marking of graves and erection of tablets, however important and com-
mendable that work may be. And important activities of present-day

74 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

importance have been found in several directions, notably in the Amer-
icanization of our alien population. This work was inaugurated by the
Sons of the American Revolution about ten years ago and is now being
rapidly advanced by many organizations. There is practical patriotic
work being done also by this Society in educating the youth of the
land to heed the call of the hour and to stand by the flag of the United
States — to follow that standard whose history was so beautifully told
to us yesterday by our honored former President General, R. C. Ballard
Thruston.

But it is not the duty of the Secretary to exhort the members of this
Congress, nor do you need exhortation. In the usual line of his official
duties there has been edited the tenth volume of the Official Bulletin,
issued in four numbers — in June, October, and December, 1915, and
March, 1916. This volume, aggregating 212 pages, cost $2,396.03 for print-
ing and distribution to every member of the Society (and to about 100
libraries), or an expense to the National Society of 17 cents per mem-
ber. The Bulletin records the doings of the National Committees and
of the State Societies and Chapters, gives a list of members deceased,
and the names and ancestral records of new members during each quar-
ter. It is neither a literary nor historical magazine ; it is embellished
in no way, but facts are stated in concrete form, and those members
who examine it may thus keep posted in what is being done by the
Sons of the American Revolution.

And likewise there was prepared by the Secretary and Registrar Gen-
eral in his dual capacity the National Year Book for 1915 — a work of
402 pages, containing the usual general information and the proceedings
of the Congress at Portland and San Francisco. The total cost of
printing and distributing 1,500 copies of this Year Book was $1,661.50.
The usual official edition of about 800 copies was distributed as ordered
by the Executive Committee and Trustees, and about 700 copies were
sold at much less than cost to State Societies, Chapters, and individual
members. As an extract from the Year Book, there was also issued a
special edition of Compatriot Thruston's address on the "Origin and'.
Evolution of the United States Flag.''

One of the important achievements at the Portland Congress was the
institution of The Washington Guard of the National Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution for the training of our sons and
grandsons in American history and American principles and in love for
their native land. The movement was inaugurated in the Common-
wealth where we are now assembled, and the Guard already numbers
several hundred members. It must result in great good as an auxiliary
to our Society. The Constitution of the National Commandery was
recently promulgated and State Commanderies and Posts are being or-
ganized. The President General of the Sons of the American Revolu-
tion, ex officio the Honorary Commander-in-Chief, has appointed John
Lenord Merrill, of New Jersey, as the first Governor General, and he
will show this Congress what has already been accomplished in this-
new patriotic activity.

PROCEEDINGS OP NEWARK CONGRESS. 75

It is expected that there will be presented to this Congress another
important proposition concerning the young men of our country who
are to take upon themselves the privileges and the responsibilities and
duties of American citizens. I will not tell in advance the nature of
this new activity, but leave you in anxious suspense until at the proper
time those compatriots who are authorized to do so shall make the
details public.

In the spring of 191 1 a letter from the Secretary of the Louisiana
Society called attention to an incident observed by him at New Orleans,
when an alien who was about to be naturalized was asked by the court
if he could read and understand the meaning of the Constitution of the
United States. He replied, "I think so." "Let me see," said the judge,
and called for a copy of the Constitution. It was some time before the
clerk of the court could find the document in print, but it was finally
located in the Revised Statutes of the United States.

The Louisiana Secretary suggested that the Sons of the American
Revolution print and distribute pamphlet copies of the Constitution
throughout the land, that every one might become familiar with its
terms. A first edition of 10,000 copies was therefore printed at once, as
Leaflet No. 3, for the use of the Committee on Information for Aliens.
In 1912, 10,000 more were distributed ; in 1913 another 10,000, followed
in 1914-1915 by two editions of 20,000 each, or an aggregate of 70,000
copies sent during the last live years, free of charge, chiefly to night
schools and centers of alien instruction. But it is not the foreign-born
alone who need knowledge of those fundamentals. It has been found
that to a vast number of Americans the Constitution is really unknown,
and our people generally are sadly ignorant of those principles with
which every American should be familiar.

Our compatriot, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, in an address a few
days ago, urged the study of the Constitution, of the reason for its
existence, and of the dangers it has survived. Judge Sanders, of Ohio,
suggests that the children of the United States should be required to
study and understand that compact which sets the bounds of govern-
ment and safeguards their liberty.

Our Society is therefore doing practical patriotic work of the very
highest importance in distributing copies of the Constitution and urg-
ing every one to give to it most careful study.

At the Detroit Congress, on May I, 1899, the first anniversary of the
Battle of Manila Bay, congratulations were cabled to Compatriot Ad-
miral Dewey, and a resolution was adopted establishing a medal to be
awarded, with a suitable diploma, to compatriots who may have ren-
dered patriotic service in the Army or Navy of the United States dur-
ing the War with Spain. Under that resolution 735 medals have so far
been bestowed upon active soldiers and sailors in our ranks — men who
in that brief but eventful war hastened to repay in part what they owed
their country.

y6 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

The reports of the several National Committees will show what has
"been done in various activities under the immediate direction of the
National Society, and I will therefore not attempt to review them here.

The doings of the State Societies have been told to you through the
medium of the Official Bulletin — accounts of hundreds of patriotic gath-
erings during the year, of memorials erected to perpetuate the story of
events and the deeds of men of the Revolutionary War, of work in
many lines of effort to make better citizens. Much has been done dur-
ing the years past, but much more work lies before us would we accom-
plish what we should.

One of the interesting outgrowths of the Portland Congress was the
eagerness of the Oregon Society to do some immediate good with the
surplus fund remaining after the committees had done everything that
could be thought of for the pleasurable entertainment of the delegates —
they could do no more This surplus was most wisely expended in fur-
nishing to each of the Federal and county courts of Oregon a beautiful
silk flag of the United States for use in naturalization ceremonies. And
the presentations of these flags throughout the State were made occa-
sions for patriotic addresses and good advice to those of foreign birth
who had gathered to take the oath of allegiance to their adopted country.

From year to year there has been indicated a growing of appreciation
of the great advantage of local Chapters in broadening the influence of
the Society, until there are now one hundred and three Chapters, an
increase of eleven during the last twelve months. Petitions for the
formation of Chapters and charter blanks are issued to State Societies
by the Secretary General free of charge.

The Portland Congress was held in the month of July, and may there-
fore be reported on as an occurrence of the past year. It was a notable
event, carried out in all details with enthusiasm and perfect manage-
ment. It practically began at Seattle on Friday evening, July 16, with
the arrival of the President General and about forty other members and
ladies. At Portland, Oregon, from Sunday morning to Wednesday
evening there was a constant round of social functions and business
sessions. On the train from Portland to San Francisco there was con-
tinued entertainment, under the direction of a special committee of
California members, and from Friday morning to Monday afternoon
the California Society extended most generous hospitality in many ways.
The banquet at the Palace Hotel on Friday evening was elaborate, with
most superb floral decorations. A most interesting feature of that ban-
quet was the presence of Dr. James Lafayette Cogswell, the sole sur-
vivor of the group of men who on October 22, 1875, met at his home
in San Francisco and founded the National Society of the Sons of
Revolutionary Sires, which in 1889 united with other organizations in
several States in establishing the National Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution.

Saturday at San Francisco was "Sons of the American Revolution
Dav" at the Exposition, when a patriotic meeting was held at the Court

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. /7

of Abundance, an incident of the program being the presentation to the
Society of the official medal of the Exposition, appropriately inscribed.
On its journey across the continent the Liberty Bell was enthusi-
astically received everywhere. As President General Woodworth said
of its reception at Syracuse, "The demonstration showed that citizens
of the United States still have hearts that are capable of dee]) senti-
ment, for the demonstration was one of sentiment only." The Sons of
the American Revolution at many places along the route were called
upon to serve as a guard of honor of that revered and historic relic.
Respectfully submitted,

A. Howard Clark,

Secretary General.

The Chairman: If there is no objection, the report of the Secretary
General will be received and placed on file. Hearing no objection, the
report is accepted. Next is the report of the Registrar General.

REPORT OF REGISTRAR GENERAL.

Compatriots : Your Registrar General has the honor to report that
during the official year ending March 31, 1916, there were enrolled
1,176 new members and 46 who had formerly belonged to the Society
were reinstated, showing an increase of 32 new names over the pre-
ceding year and 24 per cent above the annual average enrollment of the
last decade. The new year began April r, 1916, with 14,045 active mem-
bers, and during the six weeks since that date 275 more names have
been added, making the present total 14,320 members, and a total enroll-
ment of 28,268 members in the 27 years since the National Society was
organized, in 1889. The detailed statistics for each State Society are
herewith presented in the usual form. The Massachusetts Society is
still in the lead, with 1,700 members; next comes the Empire State
Society, 1,458 members; New Jersey, 1,100; Connecticut. 1,057; Illinois,
1,053; Ohio and Pennsylvania, each 608; the District of Columbia, 490;
Michigan, 450, and California, 405.

The losses by death during the year were 302. including some of our
earliest members and many men who had achieved eminence in their
professions. Among these may be here recorded :

Rear Admiral Albert S. Barker, U. S. Navy, retired.

Andrew W. Bray, of New Jersey.

Richard Harding Davis, of New York.

Benjamin R. English, of Connecticut.

Governor Winfield Scott Hammond, of Minnesota.

Hon. William Peters Hepburn, of Iowa, former Member of Con-
gress.

Judge Selden Bingham Kingsbury, of Hawaii.

Moii. John Davis Long, former Governor of Massachusetts, Mem-
ber of Congress, and Secretary of the Navy.

Hon. Edward Bruce Moore, former President of the District of

Rev. Samuel J. Niccolls, D. D., former President of the Michigan

Hon. George H. Noyes, of Wisconsin.

Rear Admiral Thomas S. Phelps, U. S. Navy, retired.

Hon. Frank W. Rollins, former Governor of New Hampshire.

George M. Sternberg, Surgeon General of U. S. Army.

Col. Origen Seymour Storrs, of Colorado.

Judge John N. Van Deman, former President of the Ohio Society.

It is unnecessary to review the routine work of the office of the Reg-
istrar General further than to state that there were engrossed and dis-
tributed to the State Societies 588 of the large membership certificates ;
badge permits were issued to all new members, and hundreds of letters
were written concerning applications for membership and in answering
genealogical inquiries.

At the last Congress the Board of Trustees amended the By-Laws
so as to require every purchaser of the Society's badge to sign an
agreement whereby under specified conditions the badge may become
the property of the Society when membership shall cease.

For insertion in the Official Bulletin the Registrar General prepared
records of names and other data for each new member, and for the
Year Book the data was expanded to include the full pedigree in each
case. There has been published to the world in the large Register of
1901 and in the Year Book from 1902 to 1915 the full pedigree and a
"brief statement of the Revolutionary ancestor's service for every mem-
ber of the organization.

The Society at its first Congress, at Louisville, in 1890, urged the
collection, preservation, and publication of the official muster-rolls and
pay-rolls of the Revolution, and at each of the twenty-six succeeding
Congresses some steps have been taken to expedite that important work.
Much has been done by the governments of most of the original thir-
teen States. There is still, however, much left undone by the Federal
"Government. There is now gathered in the War Department, the Navy
Department, and the Bureau of Pensions a mass of material that should
"be published, particularly the names of soldiers and sailors who served
in the struggle for independence.

Committee after committee has been appointed to advance this work,
and report after report, often full of interest, has been made as to
seeming progress ; resolution after resolution has been adopted, appeal
after appeal has been made to the Congress of the Lmited States, but a
quarter of a century has now passed without securing the actual publi-
cation of the records. An earnest aggressive effort should now be
.made to accomplish something promptly.

8o sons of the; American revolution.

In conclusion, your Registrar General will report what some of you
are anxiously waiting to hear — the results of the competitions for the
Traveling Banner and the Syracuse Banner. The former was the gift
of the Colorado Society, to be awarded at each Congress to the Society
of ioo members or more that showed the greatest percentage of gain in?
membership. That banner has been held by Iowa, Maryland, New
Jersey, Kentucky, again by Maryland, by Nebraska, again by New
Jersey, and last year it crossed the Rocky Mountains and amid much
enthusiasm at the Portland Congress was awarded to the Washington
State Society. This year the honor comes to the Atlantic shores once
more ; it comes to a State which has gained 20 per cent during the past
year, and will be awarded to the hosts of the present Congress, the New
Jersey Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.

At the Congress on the Pacific coast last July many good things were
done ; it was in some respects the most earnest Congress in our history.
Every one felt inspired to do something for one another and for the
common welfare of the Society. Not the least result of the occasion
was the establishment of another prize banner, the gift of the Syracuse
Chapter of the Empire State Societ}% to be known as the Syracuse
Banner, and to be awarded at each Congress to the State enrolling the
greatest number of new members, regardless of percentage. From
April 1, 1915, to March 31, 1916, several of the States did good recruiting
work : Virginia, long quiet, added 26 names ; Colorado, 27 ; Washington
State, 31; Oregon, 32; Connecticut, 33; Iowa, 34; District of Columbia,
35; Ohio, 39; Michigan, 42; Empire State, 106; Illinois, 107, and Massa-
chusetts, 155, while another has surpassed them all by registering 207
new names, and is therefore entitled to the honor of the Syracuse
Banner ; this one is likewise the host of today, the New Jersey Society.

With renewed thanks to the officers of the several States who have-
so courteously co-operated with him in his work, your Registrar Gen-
eral herewith presents his twenty-fourth annual report.
Respectfully submitted,

A. Howard Clark,

Registrar General.

The Chairman : You have heard the report of the Registrar General..
If there is no objection, the report will be received and placed on file.
Hearing no objection, the report is accepted.

Mr. Read: Air. President General and Compatriots, for the State
Society of Massachusetts I wish to felicitate the State which will re-
ceive the banner tomorrow. We in Massachusetts felt that we had a
good field to begin our operations in and early last year a committee
to increase our membership was formed, and I had the honor to be
appointed chairman. I believe, from the results, that we have come
out number 2, so that I wish to extend my felicitations to the successful
State, and I want to relate a rather humorous incident. At the meeting
of the Board of Managers last Friday the Board of Managers elected
a goodly number of new candidates, and one of the candidates was
from the State which is to receive the banner, and an audible smile-

went around the audience and we all said to ourselves, "How did he
escape the recruiting- committee of that State?" (Laughter and ap-
plause.)

The Chairman : We will now receive the report of the Treasurer
General.

REPORT ON PERMANENT FUND.

Office of Treasurer General
15 William Street, New York, N. Y., May 11, 1916.
President General and Compatriots:

The Treasurer General has the honor to submit the following report
on the Permanent Fund. At the last Annual Congress his report
showed that there was on hand :
$2,000 State of New York Canal 4's, 1961.
$2,000 New York City 4's, 1958.
$1,000 New York City 4's, 1959.
$1,000 New York City 4^'s, 1963.
$1,000 Atch., T. & S. Fe 4's, 1995.

There have been added to the Permanent fund account rebates on in-
signia, rosettes, and ribbons amounting to $491.66.

Through the generosity of your ex-President General, R. C. Ballard
Thruston, there has been added to this fund $1,000 bond of the Keokee
Consolidated Coke Co., guaranteed by the Virginia Coal & Iron Co.,
bearing interest at 5 per cent. There is therefore in the Permanent
Fund $8,000 of securities and $491.66 on deposit.
Respectfully submitted,

John H. Burroughs,

Treasurer General.

Mr. Burroughs : I have here a check received as dues from the Ne-
braska Society since my report closed. I mention it in order that record
may appear of this payment for 1916 dues.

The Chairman : You have heard the report of Treasurer General
Burroughs. Tf there is no objection, the report will be received and

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 87

placed on file. Hearing no objection, the report will take that course.
Next is the report of the Historian General.

Judge Remington: Before that report is read, I will move that when
we take a recess it be from 12.30 to 2 o'clock, so that we will know just
what time is at our disposal.

(The motion was seconded and adopted.)

GREETINGS TO GEN. EDWIN S. GREELEY.

The Historian General : Mr. President General, former Presidents
General and Compatriots, before reading' my report, which will be very
brief. I would like to make a suggestion. M'any of us remember in
past years the presence of our former President General, Gen. Edwin S.
Greeley, of New Haven, Conn., a dear, kindly, enthusiastic, patriotic,
Christian gentleman. He is now very ill and his birthday will occur in
a day or two. I would suggest that our good friend, Judge Beardsley,
former President General, draft a letter and as many of us as can sign
it and send it to him. I am sure it will give him a great deal of com-
fort in the latter days of his life. T make that as a motion.

(Motion seconded.)

Ex-Governor Murphy : We all know General Greeley ; lie was one
of the men who was around when we started this organization, and he
has been with us every time since that he could be. I suggest, as a sub-
stitute, if the Historian General will pardon me, that the Chairman
appoint a committee of one — that is the most efficient committee — to
prepare a resolution expressing the sympathy of this Congress with
General Greeley in his illness and expressing the hope that he will
speedily be restored to perfect health.

The Chairman : You have heard the motion, that a committee of
one be appointed to properly phrase the expression of our sentiment to
General Greeley at this time, and that it be sent by wire.

(The motion was unanimously adopted.)

The Chairman: The Chair will appoint as a committee of one ex-
Governor Murphy.

Ex-Governor Murphy: I accept that with pleasure.

(Ex-Governor Murphy prepared the following telegram, which was
at once sent to General Greeley:)

Gen. Edwin S. GrEEeEy, New Haven, Conn.:

The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution in
Congress assembled send affectionate greetings to their former Presi-
dent General at New Haven. They greatly regret that the result of
injuries prevent his presence at this Congress. They hope for his speedy
restoration to health, and that his life may be spared for many years.

Neweee B, Woodworth,

President General.

Secretary General Clark : In this connection I will state that I have
received the following letter from General Greeley, extending his greet-
ings to this Congress and regretting that he cannot be present:

88 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

15 Trumbull Street.
New Haven, Conn., May 9, 1916.
Mr. A. Howard Clark,

Secretary General National Society, S. A. R., Washington, D. C.
Dear Compatriot: I very much regret that owing to illness I will not
be able to attend the National Congress to be held at Newark next week.
Through you I extend my greetings to the members of the Society.
Very sincerely yours,

Edwin S. GrEELEy.

The Chairman: The Chair would suggest that the letter be acknowl-
edged by a rising vote of acceptance.

(All the members rose.)

Historian General PiErson : I now move that the Past Presidents
General here present be appointed a committee to draft a letter to Gen-
eral Greeley, to be signed by all the delegates, and that it be placed in
the office of the Historian General, so that it will be accessible to all.

The Chairman : Gentlemen, you have heard the motion, that a com-
mittee be appointed to draft a letter to send to General Greeley.

(Motion seconded and carried.)

GIFT FROM MOSES GREELEY PARKER, M. D.

The Chairman: We are now ready to proceed with the report of
the Historian General, and there is a very welcome announcement to be
made at the conclusion of this report by one of the compatriots.

The Secretary General : Make it now.

Dr. Moses GrEELEy Parker: Mr. President General and Compatriots,
I think the Permanent Fund ought to be made $10,000, and, as we are
lacking about $1,000, I would like to donate to the Society a New York
Adjustment Bond. It is not selling for quite $1,000 now, but if you
will keep it long enough it will sell for that amount.

(The members of the Society rose and applauded the speaker.)

Mr. Adams : May I offer a vote of thanks of the Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution in Congress assembled for this very gener-
ous gift of our former President General?

(The vote of thanks was adopted by a rising vote.)

The Chairman : I wish to extend to you, Dr. Parker, the thanks of
the Society. We will now receive the report of the Historian General.

REPORT OF HISTORIAN GENERAL.

Mr. President General and Compatriots of the Society of the Sons of
the American Revolution:
Many, many times you have been greeted upon your visit to New
Jersey and to this city of Newark, to a soil enriched and glorified by
valorous deeds of noble men and women in the national hour of dis-
tress, even long before the birth of our institutions, into which has
been sealed precious lives dedicated to the eternal principles upon which
our country was founded.

PROCEEDINGS OE NEWARK CONGRESS. H(j

You have come to one of the oldest settlements in the colonies, dating
to the time of Puritan occupation, in May, 1666. It is hoped that you
will feel the strength of the tie that binds our New Jersey Society with
the parent organization, of no uncertain quality of patriotism, let me
assure you.

Here the Sons of the American Revolution had its birth, on March 7,
1889, and here you have come in the vigor of manhood, at the age of
twenty-seven years, to assist in the patriotic work of the country through
the various agencies established by our Society.

Opposite this meeting place is the training ground, about the same
proportions as when laid out in the era now 250 years in the past.
Hither came the Puritans and their descendants of several generations
for annual training. They believed in preparedness, though the methods
of acquiring military knowledge were limited in the earlier period.

On June 5, 1671, "at the beat of the drum, every man between the
.ages of sixteen and sixty" was required to repair to the training ground
"to show arms and ammunition and to spend the day in exercising their
arms as they shall agree among themselves." This we read from New-
ark town records.

Puritanism, or close fellowship, required adequate military prepara-
tion, the best of the times, against possible Indian uprisings. Buttresses
were placed about the old meeting-house, which stood many years at the
four corners, a few rods from this place, where in this busy day ebbs
and flows a tide of humanity, with one or two exceptions, greater than
that passing at any other point in the country.

The training ground was an important place in colonial life. Uni-
formed and non-uniformed civilians met on common plane, but the
latter were somewhat obscured in public exercises by those more fortu-
nate in equipment for the fray. Sons of Liberty, in the stirring period
preceding" the Revolutionary War and during its progress, met in this
public place when alarm was sounded. It was the rendezvous of the
militia when responding to an alarm on approach of enemy.

Our forebears of the pre-Revolutionary period met here on Novem-
ber 1, 1765, when the stamp act went into effect, and debated "what was
best to be done," while the village church bell tolled a requiem for the
foolish act of an unwise King. The old Puritan spirit upon which the
town was founded was again finding expression in popular will.

In Elizabeth town, four miles southward, where Alexander Hamilton
attended school at the home of William Livingston, first Governor of
New Jersey under the Statehood regime, a penalty of death was pro-
vided for any person discovered using any of the obnoxious^ stamps.

New Jersey had its tea party, too. In Greenwich, near Bridgeton, on
the Cohansey River, the Sons of Liberty were very active on the even-
ing of December 22, 1774. They confiscated a cargo of tea hidden in a
Tory home and consigned it to a bonfire, which had been ignited by a
torch, verily a torch of Liberty. In Boston Harbor the tea was con-
sumed by water and in New Jersey by fire — two mighty elements used
to impress the vigor of colonial opposition to kingly usurpation of indi-
vidual rights.

Our State had its full share of patriotic men and women, though we
-did have many Tories. Two days before the Declaration of Independ-
ence had its birth our New Jersey Constitution was promulgated, July
2, 1776, and remained in service for nearly threescore years.

Newark had a committee on observation selected by the people at
town meeting, December 7, 1774. Before the winter had far advanced
the attitude of every man of voting age upon the question of the hour
was officially known. Was he for or against the Continental govern-
ment established two months before at Philadelphia?

Let me impress upon vou the fact that Newark and New Jersey re-
sponded noblv to the calls made by Washington. Homes were sacri-

ficed, fortunes wasted, and life itself went into the seething caldron of
war.

Gratifying reports have been received from many of the Societies of
constructive work in their respective localities. Notable indeed is the
continued enthusiastic interest displayed in the reading of United
States history. Youth especially is encouraged to read by the offer of
prizes, and excellent results show the wisdom of further activity in this
direction.

Knowledge of one's country, whether birthright or adopted, is a fun-
damental of every well-ordered life. Committee work has been instru-
mental in older States in strengthening the links connecting the colo-
nial period. This is achieved in a remarkable degree in searching rec-
ords for applicants desiring membership in our Society.

Musty archives have yielded rich returns. Our Society has been
marching steadily forward in this regard, brushing away cobwebs and
layers of dust, under which have been buried precious records of heroic
service.

Recently it was my good fortune to resurrect from hidden recesses
the complete record and roster of Capt. Robert Nichols' Company, Sec-
ond Essex County, New Jersey, Regiment. Thus was brought to light
and of service a number of names forgotten and never enrolled upon
the scroll of honor.

Encouragement can worthily be given all our people to read and
digest thrilling narratives, biographies of the men and women, and the
entire story of the nation's birth, its emerging out of the storm of war,
and its laudible progress to its present high state of efficiency.

Our school days are never over. Strength of service is on trial. Our
Revolutionary fathers felt it, and as a sequence conquered in their
struggle for liberty. We are too prone in these days to go along the
lines of least resistance.

We must assist in making our history desirable reading. Prized
household, as well as public, library volumes should be those pertaining
to our nation. History nourishes the intellect, and constant perusing of
its pages stimulates and makes for the best type of citizenship. In our
complex relationship of this twentieth century existence we need every
possible ounce of manly strength in the support of our institutions.

Memorials and tablets have been placed in a number of historical
environments during the past year. The action of the Utah Society in
placing a tablet in the State House at Salt Lake City, in 1914. and so
graphically reported in the 1916 Year Book, is commended as worthv
of repetition in other places.

Every State House and county building in the United States could well
be used for the patriotic purposes so worthily inaugurated by the com-
patriots of Utah. Tablets properly inscribed with suitable sentiment
and advantageously placed inside public buildings, as well as outside
(which has been done in several instances), will create more respect by
unthinking citizens and admiration by the foreigner in our heritage.

Principal of all the memorials erected by a Society during the year
was the General Mordecai Gist monument, in St. Michael's P. E. church-
yard at Charleston, S. C, gift of the Maryland Society. Dedicatory
exercises were held on November 6, 1915-

A handsome bronze equestrian statue of General von Steuben, drill-
master of the Revolutionary War, was dedicated at Valley Forge in
November. 1915, gift of citizens of German descent.

One of the most productive methods in arousing latent patriotic
spirit and of inculcating the American ideal into the foreign-born is in
liberty pole dedication and flag raising. Would that we had more of
them.

Two thousand employees of the Pennsylvania Railroad shouted till
their voices refused further utterance, on the meadows between Newark

and New York, in New Jersey, October 4, 1915, when the flag of stars
and stripes was thrown to the breeze for the first time over the car
shops. Says an account written by one who was horn in a European
country :

"Many of the men had never saluted the i 1 a *4 before — probably had
never thought of it as their flag. Their thoughts had harked back to the
land of their birth they had left five, ten, or twenty years ago, when
with tear-dimmed eyes they paid their last salute to the home of their
fathers. . . . The orator drove home the lesson taught bv the flag.
We worship the flag, but we must not forget to worship it righteously.
. . . American citizens, especially foreign-born, should be undivided
in allegiance, no matter how they stand in their sympathies, more so at
the present time than ever before."

Washington's Birthday continues to be the most observed by our
State organizations. The memory of the First Citizen of the Country
grows deeper in the hearts of the people with the passing of the years.
Our compatriot, United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, gave a
stirring address at Washington's Headquarters, Morristown, N. J., on
February 22, on "Neutrality."

Many courtesies have been extended this office during the year, which
are acknowledged with profound appreciation and with the earnest
hope that association now strongly identified in the annual exhibit will
increase }^early in its usefulness to delegates and citizens at large.

Our flag of stars and stripes and the S. A. R. emblem of buff, white,
and blue are moving forward, leading in the march of progress during
these uncertain days. Our organization, compactly knit with stalwart
sons of noble sires, will not be found wanting in the future in the fore-
front of active citizenship as in the past, upholding the institutions
erected by the fathers and having faith in the final mission of our be-
loved country, in evolving" a type of civilization helpful to all the people
all the years and assisting in the world's progress for humanity's better-
ment.

The Chairman : You have heard the report of the Historian General.
If there is no objection, it will be received and filed. Hearing no ob-
jection, the report will take that course. Next in the regular order of
business come the reports of standing committees. I would ask if the
Memorial Committee is prepared to report at this time?

General Bradley : Mr. President General and Compatriots, I fancy
you have heard about all you wish of reports. They are hard to read
many times, and perhaps harder still to listen to, but I will assure you
at the outset that this one is very brief indeed.

REPORT OF THE MEMORIAL COMMITTEE.

Compatriots : During the past year further investigation has been
attempted concerning the burial places of certain Signers of the Dec-
laration of Independence, but no additional facts of importance have
been ascertained. All the data may be found in the National Year
Book, 1914, pages 1 19-123, and the National Year Book, 1915, pages
101-102.

We have reached the conclusion that not much more can be done by
the writing of letters. But the matter should not be dropped ; the in-
vestigation should be continued by a different method.

We suggest that the matter be referred to the National Executive
Committee, and that, if said committee deem it wise, the services of
some competent person be secured to visit and inspect the burial places

92 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

of certain Signers, and that said person make a written report stating
the location and condition of the cemetery, the material and size of the
tombstone, and giving an exact copy of any inscription, and obtaining
such photographic views as may be desirable.

Our Society already possesses such data concerning many of the
Signers, but there are other Signers concerning whose burial places
definite and reliable information should be obtained at once. We are
deeply grateful to every correspondent who has aided us in any way,
but our Society should itself be an authority on these matters.

Your committee would also report concerning the proposed Memorial
Volume on the Lives of the Signers. The original resolution under
which this part of the work is being carried on was passed by the
National Executive Committee on November 24, 1914. The joint com-
mittee consists of six members. The Society of the Descendants of
the Signers is represented by Mr. Charles Thornton Adams, Mr.
Gordon Woodbury, and Judge Albert McClellan Mathewson, and the
Society of the Sons of the American Revolution is represented by Mr.
Edward Hagaman Hall, Prof. William C. Armstrong, and Gen. Edward
E. Bradley. Several meetings of the joint committee have been held.
The work has been mapped out and some of it has been completed, but
there is still much work to be done. We report substantial progress.

WiW/iAM C. Armstrong,

Chairman.

Doctor Grindaix : Mr. President General, we have a gentleman in
Baltimore who has written about the Signers, Professor Bibbens, for-
merly chairman of the Memorial Committee; he has delivered some
lectures about the burial places of the Signers.

The Chairman : The Chair would suggest that if the Memorial Com-
mittee has certain recommendations, they incorporate those in the form
of a resolution, to be introduced later.

(See report of Committee on Resolutions.)

The Chairman : Next is the report of the Committee on Organiza-
tion for the Pacific. In the absence of the chairman of that committee
the Secretary General will read the report, which is in writing.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON ORGANIZATION (PACIFIC).

Mr. A. Howard Clark,

Secretary General, Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Secretary General: On behalf of the Committee on Or-
ganization (Pacific), I have to say that immediately after the commit-
tee was appointed your Chairman got in communication with them and
learned with regret that the Nevada Society has practically ceased to
exist, and that the Los Angeles Chapter is also dead. It seemed to be
impossible to do anything to revive the organization in these communi-
ties. Gov. W. W. McDowell, of Montana, is of the opinion that much
could be accomplished in the State of Montana if an organizer familiar
with methods of securing new members could be sent to that State
with instructions to travel from town to town and endeavor to hunt up
and interview eligible gentlemen. It did not seem possible to carry out
this plan, and therefore nothing has been done in the way of extending
the organization of the Montana Society. The California Society is
vigorous, progressive, and growing in membership. The San Diego
Chapter is also prosperous. The most tangible thing which has been
accomplished under the direction of your committee has been the tenta-

PROCEKDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 93

tive organization of a Chapter at Salem, Oregon. The success of this
enterprise is now assured. A dinner was held at Salem on the 19th of
April, 1916, on the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Con-
cord, at which sixty-seven gentlemen were present. Ten residents of
Salem and vicinity have presented applications which have been ap-
proved by the Registrar General, and the formal organization of the
Chapter will probably take place on the 24th of May. The organization
has been delayed because of the desire of a number of gentlemen to
come in as charter members. Many of those desiring to be charter
members have not yet succeeded in putting their papers in shape. The
success of this enterprise is due chiefly to the zeal and activity of Com-
patriot Winthrop Hammond, of the Oregon Society.

We recommend that the next committee in charge of this work in
this part of the Union put forth effort looking to the organization of a
Chapter at Walla Walla. Wre suggest that if the Washington Society
is represented on the next committee charged with this work the mem-
ber be chosen from some part of the State east of the Cascades, to the
end that attention may be directed to the city of Walla Walla and the
possibility of organizing a Chapter there.

Respectfully submitted, Wallace McCamant,

Chairman.

The Chairman : Gentlemen, you have heard the report. If there are
no objections, it will be received and placed on file. Hearing none, the
report will take that course. Next is the report of the Committee on
Organization for the West, Mr. E. M. Wentworth, chairman.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON ORGANIZATION (WEST).

Mr. Wentworth : Mr. President General and Compatriots, the past
year has shown a real revival of interest along patriotic lines, which is
bound to have an excellent effect upon the future growth and useful-
ness of our Society.

The war in Europe, despite efforts both at home and abroad to ob-
scure the vital issue, is bringing home to the minds of all Americans
that the real basic principle "of the subjects of government participating
in the operations of government" is on trial ; that the great problem of
the reconciliation of government and liberty is being fought out on the
battlefields of France. The American theory of a government of the
people, by the people, for the people has been and is being subjected
to the assaults of Germanic theorists, wherein the horizon of the citi-
zen's opportunity is circumscribed by the benevolence of a government
predicated upon the theory that might makes right and the divine right
of a given family to rule. In the letters received from the committee-
men in the various States there is a general feeling of optimism, which
is expressed in the following from Compatriot Branson, of the Minne-
sota Society : "Interest seems to be improving through the State. Am
inclined to think the war has stirred the blood, and we look for a good
increase during 1916.'' Compatriot Nellis reports from Kansas : "We
are having many inquiries that I think will bring us many new members.
more than in any year heretofore. We have also had inquiries regard-
ing the formation of new Chapters and attention will be given thereto.

94 sons of the; American revolution.

Kansas is also interesting the schools in patriotic work by means of
the medals which have proven so successful in other States."

Nebraska and South Dakota are showing much interest in the pro-
motions of our patriotic work, and these Societies are also to be highly
commended for their spirit of enthusiastic loyalty to Societies' ideals.

Compatriot Kennan reports a quiet year in Wisconsin, but has high
hopes for the future. There is no State in the Union where conditions
are known to be as delicate, and no State where, once aroused, better
work will be done.

The Sons of the American Revolution met a very serious loss in the
death of Compatriot W. S. Hammond, President of the Minnesota
Society and Governor of the State. Governor Hammond was a true
American and splendid type of citizenship. Iowa has shown her faith
by works and organized two new Chapters, with two or three practically
ready. The State Presidents in every instance are men of affairs,
ability, and high patriotic purpose, heartily interested in the work.
Their courtesy and co-operation with your committee promises much
in the years to come.

The Chairman : Gentlemen, you have heard the report of the Com-
mittee on Organization for the West. If there is no objection, the
report will be received and placed on file. Hearing no objection, the
report will take that course. Next is the report of the Committee on
Organization for the Middle States, of which Mr. Albert M. Henry is
chairman.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON ORGANIZATION (MIDDLE

STATES).

Mr. Henry : Mr. President General and Compatriots, the Middle
States, being Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Maryland, Indiana, Pennsylvania,
New York, New Jersey, and Delaware, cover a pretty large field, but
from all of these States I have received replies to my inquiries in regard
to the situation in those States. First, I reported to the Executive
Committee last November, and these first letters are in response to a
request to get replies, to report at that time. Mr. Louis A. Bowman,
of Chicago, the Secretary of the Society there, says : "In a general way,
we are pushing it to such extent as is possible by correspondence. We
find, however, that it is practically impossible to accomplish very much
through the mails in this regard. The fact also remains that there are
almost none of our Chicago men who have the leisure, inclination, and
ability to visit the different cities in the State to effect organization
through personal contact." The purpose of these committees is to find
out the best way of pushing this organization into popular favor,
Avhether it be by messengers sent through the different States, either
employed by the General Society or by the individual States or cities,
or whether it should be done, as the Daughters of the American Revo-
lution are doing it, by establishing Chapters in the various cities of the
different States. Now, Mr. Bowman goes on and says: "This was the

PROCEEDINGS oi NEWARK CONGRESS. 95

reason for my written recommendation to the National Society, recom-
mending that a permanent traveling or Held secretary be employed by
the National Society, who would visit the different States and strengthen
the existing organization and bring about the formation of new ones —
for instance, the time of such a man, giving a month in Illinois, would,
I am sure, bring about the organization of five or six local Chapters,
etc." — giving his idea of the method of increasing our organization.

Hon. Neweee B. Woodworth,

President General:

As Chairman of the Committee on Organization in the Middle States,
I desire to make to you and the Twenty-seventh Congress a report as
to what has been done by the committee.

At the meeting of the Executive Committee in New York last No-
vember I made a full report up to that date, which is filed in the Secre-
tary General's office.

Since the meeting of the Executive Committee we have been more or
less busy in extending our work in Michigan and keeping in touch with
what has been done in the other Middle States. In Michigan we have
pushed the work in Ann Arbor, Mt. Pleasant, Grand Rapids, and Kala-
mazoo, and have increased our membership in various parts of the
State.

We engaged Professor Florer, a professor in the University of Mich-
igan, to deliver a lecture at these various places, accompanied by pic-
tures thrown upon the canvas showing the various stages of the Revo-
lutionary War and the various localities and personages made famous
"by said war. This course of procedure and the results thereof were
communicated to the various compatriots who make up the Committee
on Organization of the Middle States.

[For filing with the report, Mr. Henry appended letters from Presi-
dent Brown, of the Pennsylvania Society; Secretary Weeks, of the New
Jersey Society; President Mills, of the South Dakota Society; Secretary
Bowman, of the Illinois Society; Vice-President General Boardman,
of Tennessee; Mr. Wentworth, of Iowa, and Mr. Sidway, of Buffalo;
also newspaper accounts of the lecture given by Professor Florer at
Grand Rapids.]

There is still a great variety of opinion as to the proper plan for
increasing the membership in the different States, all of which have
their merits and demerits.

A somewhat amusing incident occurred in my own State, arising from
the engagement of Professor Florer, who happens to be a professor of
German. My correspondent was very much exercised for fear that the
propaganda for ''Americanization" which we had started was more like
a propaganda for "Germanization."

The work, however, which we have done has been an educational one
rand I think will go down to the benefit of our organization.
Respectfully submitted,

Aij'.ert M. Henry,

Chairman.

In his lecture on ''The American Revolution by Picture and Word,"
Professor Florer shows a collection of pictures of the Revolution, many
of which are reproductions of old paintings and prints of Revolutionary
days, and which show America as it was then rather than as the his-
toric spots appear today.

96 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Pictures not only of such eminent men as Washington, Franklin,.
John Paul Jones, and Patrick Henry are shown, but also of men who,
by their actual help or sympathy, aided the Revolution, but who are
little remembered. Emphasis is laid on the fact that it was a revolution
in which young men were engaged — men between the ages of twenty
and twenty-five — rather than one of old men, as generally supposed.
Jt was not a revolution born in Boston and the New England States
alone, but one in which all the thirteen colonies took an active interest,
as illustrated by scenes of old meeting places and pictures of leaders in
Maryland, Philadelphia, South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia.

The Polish, French, Dutch, and German leaders and soldiers in the
struggle and the sympathy of the leaders of Russia, Prussia, and France
are discussed by Mr. Florer, thus bringing out a sweeping survey of
the struggle and its meaning to the people of the United States and to-
the world. The story of the struggle ends with a brief account of the
amalgamation of the divided States and wTith ideals and work of
America of the present day. The youth of today has the innate right
to be educated so he may make the best of his powers.

The Chairman : You have heard the report of the Committee on Or-
ganization of the Middle States. If there is no objection, the report
will be received and placed on file. Hearing none, the report will take
that course. Next is the report of the Committee on Organization for
New England, Mr. Punderson, chairman.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON ORGANIZATION (NEW
ENGLAND).

The six State Societies of New England are in an excellent condition.

While each State reports an increase in membership, there has also-
been brought about by the Societies a much keener interest in historical
beginnings, as well as national problems of the day.

The increased membership of the Massachusetts Society has been
unusual. It is the result of an elaborate and systematic plan of follow-
ing up eligibles by correspondence. This system has not only proved
favorable in securing members in the larger cities, but has brought
about the enrollment of members in the smaller towns in all parts of
the State.

The present showing seems to be but a forecast of the probable re-
sults of the future.

The Connecticut Society has continued the plan of awarding medals
and prizes through the schools of the State. The amount of time and
money expended in this work speaks well for the Society.

Chapters in the larger cities have followed closely the work suggested
by the National Society. Meetings have been held to welcome the new
citizens, and much time has been spent in the endeavor to instruct them
in their duties and responsibilities.

Considerable has been accomplished by the Chapters toward prepared-
ness at home and relief abroad.

The letters of the President General have proved an excellent help in
planning the work of State Societies and Chapters and have brought
about a uniform endeavor that has undoubtedly resulted in increased

influence. _

Chairman,.

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 97

The Chairman : You have heard the report of the Committee on
Organization in the New England States. If there is no objection, the
report will be received and placed on file. Hearing no objection, the
report will take that course. Next is the report of the Committee on
Organization for the South, Mr. Boardman. Is Mr. Boardman present?
The Chairman of that committee is attending the Congress, but is not
present just now. We will pass his report and proceed to the next re-
port, that of the Committee on Education, Mr. R. C. Ballard Thruston,
chairman.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION.

Mr. Thruston : I have had, in the correspondence with the members
of my committee, many letters recommending education along this, that,
or the other line. Every one of those letters is a treatise in itself and
is worth being studied and thought over seriously. I have them all
here, s-o that any member who desires to look over them may do so.
They will be left for the benefit of my successor as Chairman of the
Committee on Education. I have, in addition to that, received from one
of the members of my committee since this report was prepared a play
written and suited to the children of the Van Vlessengen High School
in Chicago. It is a dramatization of Edward Everett Hale's story,
"The Man Without a Country." It is a patriotic play in the extreme,
and any such plays or any such data that any member of our Society
knows of and will call to the attention of the Chairman of the Com-
mittee on Education will be circulated throughout the country, where
they will do real good, patriotic service, in addition to the service they
are now doing. We are trying to obtain such plays for the school chil-
dren to use in their various celebrations.

Mr. President General and Compatriots:

Your Committee on Education begs to report :

First. What our National Society is doing for the cause of education.

Second. In a brief way, what the various State Societies and Chapters
are doing.

Third. The recommendations of your committee.

what the; national society is doing.

Our National Society has done and is doing a tremendous amount of
work along the line of education of the foreign-born in preparing him
for American citizenship. The resume of this work belongs to another
committee. However, the results over our whole country have been so
beneficial that even if we did nothing else we would be entitled to wear
a laurel crown as a reward of merit for this work alone.

In addition to that, the work which we are doing toward gathering
together a full and true history regarding our Declaration of Independ-
ence and all matters connected therewith is so meritorious that we
mention it here as a part of the educational work, even though it be-
longs to still another committee.

A thing which we are doing for the information of our members, and
which very few of us appreciate as we should, is issuing the Year Book,

98 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

with which those who attend our Congresses are familiar, and the quar-
terly Bulletin, which four times a year goes to each member of our
organization. These Bulletins tell us of the activities of the various
State Societies. A perusal of them will give us much information that
we desire and their study will be very beneficial to all of us.

ACTIVITIES OF STATE SOCIETIES AND CHAPTERS.

Many of our State Societies and Chapters are doing magnificent work,
both individually and in co-operation with other organizations, especially
along the lines of naturalization, and in several movements that have
been far-reaching in their educational and patriotic influences. Promi-
nent among these would be the celebration of the District of Columbia
Society on July 4 last, but especially in connection with the trip of the
Liberty Bell from Philadelphia to the Pacific coast and back again. In
every State through which it passed our members were prominent on
committees which had charge of its reception and display. In some of
the States, notably New York, Oregon, and Kentucky, many thousand
folders bearing upon the history of the Liberty Bell and its connection
with the Declaration of Independence were printed by the local Socie-
ties, publicly distributed and greatly in demand.

Many of our State Societies issue annual Bulletins or Year Books,
and some of them, especially Colorado and Iowa, monthly or quarterly
publications relating more particularly to their activities. Arkansas has
published an address by their Secretary, Mr. Fay Hempstead, on the
Expedition of Galvez, in 1779, which had material influence on our
western history, and Pennsylvania has published another pamphlet, giv-
ing us much desired data regarding five of the Signers. There are
other publications dealing with matters of local history.

In some of our Chapters, notably the Boston Chapter of the Massa-
chusetts Society, monthly meetings are held, and a regular progressive
program for the study of our American Revolutionary history along
certain well-defined lines is followed, which has proven intensely inter-
esting to its members.

One of our State Societies, Oregon, is very much pleased with the
result obtained through a carefully selected series of works on Amer-
ican history that has been bought by them and circulated throughout
their State, under the management and control of the State Library
Association.

According to our Bulletins, in ten of our State Societies (Arizona,
Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Oak Park Chapter of Illinois, Louisiana,
New Jersey, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Hawaii) prizes are being offered for
essays or oratorical contests along historical and patriotic lines. In
some instances medals alone are given ; in others accompanied by cash
prizes. In one State (Connecticut) the amount expended in medals and
cash prizes nearly equals $1,000 annually. In some of our State Socie-
ties it is interesting to note that the majority of these prizes are won by
others than those of Revolutionary descent, and even in Connecticut,
with her great educational institutions, last year the winner of the
second prize was a girl in the eighth grade, who herself emigrated from
Russia five years before. We believe, therefore, that it is safe to say
that all of us, while in favor of continuing the work we are doing for
the foreign-born, feel that we must not neglect the native-born, and
especially those of our own kith and kin.

RECOMMENDATIONS OE THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION.

The above is all very good so far as it goes. We would not have any
of these activities curtailed ; but the history of the past two years shows
that there has not been implanted into the hearts of all our American

PROCEEDINGS OE NEWARK CONGRESS. Q9

people that love and devotion to our country and its interests that we
think should be there, and we all agree that the development of the
spirit of patriotism is what we should more strongly advocate, and that
that should be the ultimate object of our efforts. But how bring it
about? Could, the teaching of civics through practically the whole
school system, but more deeply as the student advances in age and ex-
perience, accomplish the inculcating into him that spirit of truth, that
sense of justice, and that development of character which tends to make
him not only a good citizen, but demand those same virtues in others,
we think that such would develop the patriotic spirit, and we should
insist that whatever is necessary to accomplish this result be introduced
into our schools.

We therefore recommend that each of our State Societies and Chap-
ters hold one or two educational meetings each year. We would sug-
gest that at these meetings those who are prominent in national, State,
or local educational matters, such as school commissioners, trustees,
professors, and instructors, be invited to attend the meeting as guests
of the Society for a thorough and full discussion of the topic agreed
upon. By such process we will educate ourselves as to what is being
done, become acquainted with those who have the education of the
youth in hand, and have an opportunity to make suggestions which may
help to improve the system. Experience has shown that educators want
the thinking public to interest themselves in these subjects. It acts both
as a balance-wheel and a spur to them in their work, and furthermore
you will find an increasing number of our members visiting the schools
and educational centers to the material benefit of all parties concerned.
Respectfully submitted,

R. C. Ballard Thruston,

Chairman.

The Chairman : Gentlemen, you have heard the instructive and ex-
haustive report of the Committee on Education. If there is no objec-
tion, the report will be received and placed on file. Hearing no objec-
tion, the report will take that course. The Chair would suggest to the
Chairman of the committee that the recommendations of that committee
be embodied in resolutions and offered at a subsequent time for the
consideration of this Congress. We will now have the report of the
Committee on Organization in the South.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON ORGANIZATION (SOUTH).

Mr. Boardman : Mr. President General and Compatriots, the Socie-
ties in the States of Kentucky and Tennessee are alive with progress,
particularly in Kentucky. In the other States in the Southern group
there are Societies in all but one, and that State is Georgia. We have
been making efforts for two years to stimulate the growth in all of the
States south of us, east of us, and southwest of us. Mr. Thruston has
spent a considerable time in some of the Southern States endeavoring
to stimulate them, but so far without very much success. The Tennes-
see Society has been from time to time enrolling members from other
States, particularly South Carolina and Georgia, with the idea of get-

States to enable us to organize live, active State Societies. I believe

that in the course of the next year or two years we will be able to get
some results from that plan. I am sorry that I cannot report greater
results.

The Chairman : You have heard the report of the Committee on
Organization in the South. If there is no objection, the report will be
accepted and placed on file. Hearing no objection, the report will take
that course. The time has now come that we determined on for a re-
cess, and before declaring the session adjourned the Chair will ask the
delegates to be prompt in assembling here at 2 o'clock, so that we may
go ahead with our work rapidly.

(The Congress then took recess until 2 p. m., and shortly after that
time Chairman Woodworth called the meeting to order and the program
was resumed as follows:)

Afternoon Session, May 15.

The Chairman : The Chair apologizes for calling the session a little
late, but, unfortunately, from the standpoint of promptness, I was
drafted by a committee to appear at the lunch for the ladies for a
moment. I trust the Congress will accept the explanation.

Mr. Ames : We have here in our midst today one of the two surviving
members who organized the National Society of the Sons of the Amer-
ican Revolution ; he was also the first Secretary of the New Jersey So-
ciety and its second President. Therefore, Mr. President General, I
move that not only the courtesy of the floor be extended to Compatriot
Josiah C. Pumpelly, but that he be escorted to the platform. (Applause.)

The Chairman : Gentlemen, you heard the motion made by the gen-
tleman from New York. I assume there is no debate about the resolu-
tion.

(The motion was seconded and adopted, and the Chairman appointed
Mr. Ames to escort Mr. Pumpelly to the platform, the audience rising
and applauding as this was done.)

Mr. PumpkUvY : Mr. President General and Compatriots all, I am
very grateful to you for this privilege that you have granted to me ; it
is right in line with all the beautiful tonic influences I have had coming
in upon me lately, especially that big parade over in New York. I have
made up my mind that patriotism is the best tonic for old people (ap-
plause), and the words "seventy-six" is just my age — seventy-six.
(Laughter and applause.) Seventy-six! but this morning I heard a
grand old man of eighty-two. Oh, I haven't got any more to say. I
thought I was doing pretty well; but look at him! My dear friends,
I can't say anything about it, only I want you all to believe there is no
better tonic on this earth than patriotism, especially when it means pre-
paredness. (Applause.) I think the Mayor of New York City said a
pretty good thing the other day. When he saw 141,000 men marching
in that parade he said : "I think this is enough to raise the dead, even
in Washington." (Laughter.) Great God, if we could wake them up!

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. IOI

if they could be waked up without any trouble! We may have to get
that man in there with a club; I don't know; we will have to do some-
thing. I tell you frankly it is a great thing for me to come back here
and stand very near to the place where we formed this Society, and in
the very same State. I had a rebirth. I was born in New York, but,
thank God, I got a rebirth of patriotism in Morristown. I lived in
Morristown ten years, in the shadow of the headquarters, and I had a
rebirth. New York has too much Tory in it. I remember in 1889,
when we formed this Society, it was the same old fight of democracy
against aristocracy; — too much aristocracy in New York, too much
democracy in the Society. We fought the battle for democracy and
equality in all the Societies, in all the States, and came out ahead, and
here we are today with more than 14,000 members. But there is no
time now for reminiscences; things are moving too fast. I just simply
want to present this resolution on preparedness, and I hope it will be
adopted.

The Chairman : This will take the usual course and be referred to
the Committee on Resolutions.

GREETINGS TO JUDGE HANCOCK.

Charles H. Wight: Our ex-President General, James Denton Han-
cock, has been prevented by the infirmities of age from attending this
Congress. No one has excelled him in his love for all that our organ-
ization stands for. I move that the Secretary General be instructed to
send a telegram to ex-President General Hancock expressing our good
wishes.

(Motion seconded and adopted, and the following telegram was sent
to Judge Hancock:)

To James Denton Hancock, Franklin, Pa.:

Twenty-seventh Congress, Sons American Revolution, regrets being
deprived of inspiration of presence of Compatriot Hancock and hopes
he may have many more years of usefulness among us.

Neweee B. Woodworth,

President General.

The Chairman : To return to our regular order of business, the next
committee to report is the very important one on Americanization and
Aliens, Mr. Chancellor L. Jenks, of Illinois, chairman.

REPORT ON AMERICANIZATION AND AUENS.

Mr. Jenks : Mr. President General, I desire to preface my report by
saying that it is impossible to make a report of the patriotism of this
Society comprehensive of all its activities. Every State Society, every
Chapter, is a school of patriotism, and every loyal member of this
Society is a teacher of patriotism in that school. This report covers
simply those activities in the cause of the education of the aliens, the
preparation of the prospective citizen for citizenship, which have come

102 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

under the immediate observation and co-operation of the members of
this Society.

To the Twenty-seventh Annual Congress of the National Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution:

The scope of your Committee on Americanization and Aliens, as
understood by its members, is the inculcating of a love of Americanism
among naturalized citizens, assisting prospective citizens in acquiring a
sufficient understanding of the spirit of our institutions to enable them
to vote intelligently, and investing the legal ceremony of conferring
citizenship with impressive and lasting dignity.

The distribution of the members of this committee is such as to
extend its work and influence over most of the United States.

Never in the history of our land has there been such great need of
a baptism of pure Americanism. The birth of our national spirit was
amid the throes of the War for Independence. A few great ideals of
popular government took possession of the souls of our forefathers and
lifted them out of the miasma of self-interest into the purer atmosphere
of practical altruism, proclaiming the supremacy of the individual as
opposed to the domination of Church and State. The splendid growth
of our country has proven these ideals to be sound. Abuses have re-
tarded that growth. Mistakes which are always incident to experi-
ments in nation building have caused delays in our development. Yet
America has demonstrated to the world that a nation whose king is the
individual voter is not a nation of few days, but possesses the elements
of vitality and strength which insure long life to its social structure
and the fullest possible scope of action to the individual. The peoples
of the earth know that this is true and flock to our shores in numbers
so overwhelming that our welcome is beginning to show signs of strain.
The quality of the citizenship of these immigrants has become of para-
mount national importance. As long as a large mass of this foreign
population remains unassimilated into our citizenship, our land is not
only inconvenienced beyond all reasonable demand upon our hospitality,
but is menaced by serious danger. To assist in removing this danger
is the hope of this committee.

The forms of activity assumed by the committee are as various as
the homes of its members. In Seattle, where Dr. Samuel Judd Holmes,
one of our Vice-Presidents General, is in charge, there has been most
effective co-operation with the local Y. M. C. A. Classes have been
formed for aliens having an enrolment of over one hundred. Teachers
have been obtained from the ranks of the Sons of the American Revo-
lution, and prominent men both within and without the Society have
presented the ideals of our government in the form of popular ad-
dresses. Examinations in citizenship close the course, which is of ten
weeks duration. As soon as one class is completed, another begins.
At the end of the year there is a public dinner in honor of the gradu-
ates. The work of the committee has been commented upon favorably
by the press. On Washington's Birthday a celebration was held by the
Sons of the American Revolution, working with the Y. M. C. A., under
the name of "Citizenship Night." Doctor Holmes was one of four
members of the Sons of the American Revolution who made addresses.
While the headquarters of this patriotic work is at Seattle, it is carried
on over the whole State. Subcommittees from the Society are at work
with the aliens in different cities. Plans for a monster Americanization
Day celebration are under way, to be held on the Fourth of July.

Another far-away point of gratifying activity is Honolulu, under the
enthusiastic guidance of Compatriot Dr. Samuel Denham Barnes, Pres-
ident of our Hawaiian Society. He writes interestingly of the peculiar

PROCEEDINGS OF" NEWARK CONGRESS. IO3

conditions existing there affecting American citizenship. Residing in
the territory are five thousand Porto Ricans, fifteen thousand Filipinos,
and seventy-five thousand Japanese. A joint committee _ of the Sons
and Daughters of the American Revolution have established a prize
essay contest, open to pupils of high schools and other schools of sim-
ilar grade and to citizens under twenty-two years of age not attending
school. Patriotic subjects are assigned and eight prizes are awarded
at each contest — one of ten dollars, two of five dollars, and five of two
dollars each. So successful have these contests been, and so intense
the resulting interest in Americanism, that Doctor Barnes recommends
increasing the amount or number of the prizes and encouraging the
Japanese to participate. The Japanese are frantically patriotic as to
their home land and eager to give expression to their views. They
confidently expect to become naturalized Americans, but certainly need
a heavy dose of Americanism now.

One of the incidents of the Mid-Pacific Carnival, held at Honolulu
on Washington's Birthday, was a patriotic program presided over bv
Doctor Barnes.

Compatriot Alfred Coit, of New London, Conn., a valued member of
this committee, writes of an interesting program of the Americaniza-
tion Day exercises conducted in a public park, in which he took part.
A Russian, Ismar Baruch, made the principal address. He is a grad-
uate of the New London schools and of Brown University, at which
latter place he obtained the highest standing ever awarded there. He
spoke on the opportunity this country offers to the alien. At a meeting
of the State Board of Managers of the Connecticut Society, held Jan-
uary 29, a committee was appointed to co-operate with the Commissioner
of Naturalization of the United States Department of Labor in encour-
aging the education of prospective citizens.

Letters from Compatriot Edward M. Hall, Jr., in charge of the work
of this committee at Cleveland, described medal essay contests in the
schools and the distribution of our pamphlets. Of especial interest
have been three naturalization receptions, attended by a large number
of gratified new citizens and addressed by the President of the Western
Reserve Society and the presiding judges. Certificates of citizenship
were presented and pledges of allegiance given, the entire audience
standing and repeating the pledge in unison, as follows :

"I pledge allegiance to my Flag, and to the Republic for
which it stands ; One Nation, indivisible, with Liberty and
Justice for all."

From Rochester, N. Y., Judge Harvey F. Remington writes of the
establishment by the local Chapter of Patriots' Day in the public schools
and the address of Hon. C. E. Ogden, President of the Chapter and
editor of the Rochester Daily Times. He is keenly alive to everything
tending to uplift mankind and has directed the Chapter to effective
work in behalf of Americanization and Aliens. In this work the Chap-
ter has enjoyed the enthusiastic co-operation of Prof. Charles E. Finch,
principal of Washington Junior High School. This gentleman and
Compatriot Ogden delivered addresses at the patriotic exercises in the
interest of aliens on Washington's Birthday.

Rev. Frederick S. Penfold, of Racine, Wis., President of the Wis-
consin Society, has been most active in behalf of new and prospective
citizens in the many factories which crowd the shore-line of his State.
Through his efforts Americanism has a place upon the curricula of the
night schools, and our pamphlets are in constant and increasing demand
as primers of patriotism. Doctor Penfold is much sought after as an
orator, his addresses this year being devoted to the problem of rapid
assimilation of the alien into our citizenship.

104 SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Commander John H. Moore, of Washington, D. C, is never idle and
during the past year has distributed many thousands of pamphlets.
Several enthusiastic meetings have been attended and participated in
by him, and his zeal and long experience in the line of work taken up
by this committee have made him a most valuable and efficient member.

Commander Moore writes: "For nine years our Society nas been work-
ing for the alien. We were the pioneers in this work. Other societies
have gradually taken up the work and great changes ' have .been made,
so that now the principal work is to educate the alien n\ me^English
language, which is the foundation stone for his greates'wflenent. The
Board of Education of the State of New York, th^' "Bureau of- Natural-
ization of the Department of Labor, and the Bureau of Education of
the Interior Department have been the principal factors in this change.

"During the year there has been a greater demand', for the Constitution
than usual. Hundreds of single copies have been sent to the Ea*st and
West, while clerks of courts and naturalization officers have beerf sup-
plied by the thousands. The demand for Leaflet No. I in English re-
mains about constant, but the demand for it in foreign languages has
fallen off very materially, caused, it would appear, from the greater
opportunities for learning the English language. The demand for
Leaflet No. 2 is about the same. We have filled requests for our leaflets
for individuals, from night schools, from patriotic societies, for social
workers, from various Y. M. C. A.'s, and latterly from large industries."

Compatriot Thomas S. Brown, of Pittsburgh, reports a very large
demand for and circulation of our three pamphlets in the social centers
of Pittsburgh largely inhabited by aliens. Several thousand copies of
Pamphlet No. 1, published in fourteen languages, were ordered, usually
in one hundred lots in each language desired, for the Irene Kauffmann
Settlement, the Soho Baths, the Lawrenceville Baths, Kingsley House,
Woods Run Settlement House, and the Associated Charities in Woods
Run, as well as for Dr. G. W. Montgomery, of the Presbyterian Board
for the Education of Foreigners and the local officer of the Immigra-
tion Bureau. The public schools of Pittsburgh have initiated a far-
reaching work in this direction, with which it seemed better for this
committee to offer to co-operate than to voluntarily try to supplement
when it might only hinder.

In the school years 1914-1915, 4,977 pupils of foreign birth were regis-
tered in the evening schools of Pittsburgh, in all the departments, of
which number 245 were in the high-school department. This year, so
far, 3,679 foreign-born pupils are registered, of whom 279 are natural-
ized citizens, 135 are candidates for their second papers, and 595 are
declarants, while there are 1,432 men over 18 who have not made their
declaration for first papers. The evening schools are furnishing oppor-
tunities for education to many young men and women who work by day
and need these opportunities to supplement their education, and the
opportunity they offer to foreigners of meager education is striking.
That there is a lively hunger in the minds of these foreigners for such
opportunities is evident from the number of registered students quoted
above.

In the Middle West the committee has been represented by its Chair-
man. He has enjoyed the companionship and hearty co-operation of
Mr. John D. Shoop, superintendent of the Chicago schools, who has
recognized the value in the night school of our pamphlets as text-books
of citizenship. Many thousands have been used by him and distributed
among the foreigners. The Chairman wishes to acknowledge the cour-
teous attitude of the judges of the courts having naturalization affairs
under their jurisdiction. Dignity and impressiveness have been imparted
to the ceremony of conferring citizenship, and no one can participate
in or witness the proceedings without a sense of their solemnity and
importance.

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. I 05

The prospective citizens in Chicago are prone to meet together in
clubs and societies of their own. Hull House and other social settle-
ments, as well as the splendid establishments for public betterment con-
ducted by the Park Commissioners and the municipal authorities, en-
courage these organizations and furnish them with halls and rooms in
which to hold their meetings. On several occasions the Chairman of this
committee has been privileged to attend meetings of this kind, and has
always been impressed with the earnestness of these aliens in the pur-
suit of knowledge relating to our national ideals. While it is true that
many of these clubs are socialistic in tone, they are not in any way sub-
versive of society. I have heard several passionate eulogies of the
genius of America, uttered in the most battered kind of broken English,
which I would like our own high-school boys and girls to commit to
memory.

In Chicago, as in all other parts of the country, the services for the
new and prospective citizen performed by the National Americanization
Committee, of which Mr. Frank Trumbull, of New York, is chairman,
has been of untold value. Commander Moore and the Chairman of
your committee are both members of that organization and have at-
tended and participated in many of its private and public functions.
Its construction and equipment are most efficient, and those in charge
are giving to its labors an intelligent, consecrated, and effective zeal
which acts like a patriotic tonic from sea to sea. We have been glad
to co-operate with this powerful body and have not thereby lost our
own individuality.

Another agency working along somewhat similar lines, and with
which our committee has been glad to be associated, is the Bureau of
Naturalization of the United States Department of Labor. The Chair-
man of this committee has enjoyed a correspondence with the Hon.
Richard K. Campbell, Commissioner of Naturalization, relative to a
"Course of Instruction in Citizenship" which his Bureau has completed
and furnished to superintendents of all the schools in the country which
desire to co-operate with the Bureau in behalf of the candidate for
citizenship. It will be recalled that at the meeting of the National
Executive Committee of our Society, held last November, a resolution
was adopted urging the Bureau of Naturalization to prepare and issue
such a manual. The Department of Labor has secured the co-operation
in spirit of the entire public-school system of the United States in the
education of the foreigner who becomes a candidate for citizenship. It
sends monthly to local school authorities names and addresses of all
aliens who have declared their intention or petitioned for naturalization
during the preceding month, together with the names of the wives of
the declarants. At the same time the Bureau sends a personal letter to
the declarants and their wives. The Bureau welcomes the co-operation
of societies such as ours in its educational activity. So vast are the
facilities of this department, and so direct and personal and authorita-
tive its methods, that we hail with gladness its advent into this field of
patriotic endeavor.

The Immigration Committee of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States of America prosecutes the good of the immigrant along
broad and varied avenues. Its program for the present year included :
(1) Surveys of industrial communities and analyses of plant conditions,
with recommendations for local work; (2) organization of Americani-
zation and Immigration Committees in local Chambers of Commerce to
clear work in local districts and preparation of programs for such com-
mittees for the Americanization of cities and industries; (3) studies of
conditions after the war, and of work now being done by industries to
Americanize their foreign-born workmen ; (4) distribution of civic
lesson leaflets in pay envelopes and through industries; (5) stimulation
of interest in housing workmen through local Housing Committees and

106 SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

co-operation with the National Immigrant Housing Competition Com-
mittee ; (6) study of probable outgoing emigrant traffic and considera-
tion of measures to safeguard it at the close of the war.

Recently the General Federation of Women's Clubs has taken up the
question of the welfare and civic education of immigrant women, work-
ing hand in hand with the National Americanization Committee and the
United States Bureau of Naturalization. The Daughters of the Amer-
ican Revolution have long been engaged in the same commendable
cause, often in co-operation with the Sons of the American Revolution,
giving to it the intelligence and persistence which characterize every
activity of that magnificent organization of patriotic women.

In conclusion, we would report that we see in these manifold unselfed
activities in behalf of the new citizen a strong evidence of the renais-
sance of pure Americanism. In response to the general conviction that
American patriotism may soon be put to the test, there has been uncov-
ered a nation-wide loyalty. No one who has followed the progress of
this awakening can entertain any apprehension as to our spiritual, pre-
paredness for national defense. Let me close with the words of Presi-
dent Wilson, uttered within a fortnight :

"God forbid that the United States should be drawn into war; but if
she should be, America would shake herself out of a dream and say to
any one who doubts the spirit of the new world that she still speaks the
voice of humanity."

Respectfully submitted, Chancellor L. Jenks,

Chairman.

Rev. Dr. Foster: Mr. Chairman, may I speak a few words on that
report?

The Chairman : Very glad to have you, sir.

Rev. Dr. Foster: Compatriots, I want to speak a few words on that
report, especially the first part of it, that which relates to Seattle, whence
I hail and where I have lived for many years. I know you will be
grateful to me for these facts that I will give you just in a few words.
Under my room in the Y. M. C. A. building, a very large building,
Dr. Samuel Judd Holmes, Vice-President General of this Society, is
conducting that class in citizenship. What would you think if I'd tell
you that as large a number as there is on this side of the aisle assem-
bled in a room almost as large as this every Wednesday night, and if
you could go and look in the faces of those men you would make this
remark involuntarily, "Something must be done to help those men to
become citizens." Now who is going to do the work? What will be
the work? How are we going to reach these men? How are we going
to make American citizens out of these men who cannot speak our lan-
guage? What would you think of nine languages right before Dr.
Holmes? And some of them have to have interpreters, and they are so
hungry for the knowledge of our Constitution they get copies of all of
our printed matter, for you furnish that free in their own tongue, if
necessary. Now these men are anxious; what is going to be done? A
man said to me a little while ago, when I was pressing him to unite
with our Chapter, of which I am President, "Why don't you come, Mr.
Fuller, into our Chapter and take hold?" He said, "What good is it?"
I said, "Why, man alive, what a question. Will you step down into that

PROCEEDINGS OP NEWARK CONGRESS. 1 07

room tomorrow night and see what Dr. Holmes is doing? And that is
only one in the United States. Here is the mill these men have to go
through in order to become citizens, and it is long and severe and they
need this information." Who is going to give it to them? I am so
glad that the Sons of the American Revolution are emphasizing that all
over the United States, and that men are coming to us by the ship-load.
The men may come when all is open again. I don't know how many
millions in the Old World would to God they could come to the Land
of the Free and the Home of the Brave. What would you think of
seeing a man who had just landed running a little way from the dock,
stooping down, taking up a handful of dirt, raising it to his mouth and
kissing it, saying, in his own language, "Thank God, I am in God's coun-
try." (Applause.) Compatriots, who is going to do this work? There
is a good deal of other work we do. I am so glad that our compatriot,
Dr. Parker, gave us $1,000 this morning. Would to God we had hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars, that we might take hold of this work
with a vigor never before known! Who will help in it? They call me
out there "the white-headed kid of the Y. M. C. A." I am a regular
member of the Y. M. C. A., and although I am more than fourscore
years old it delights me to mingle with these young men and see their
work. Now, the Y. M. C. A.'s of the United States are ready to sup-
plement your work if you will lead. If you go on with this work, they
will take hold of it. Of course, they are very busy; they have got so
much on their hands ; but they want you to lead in this and they will
follow suit. Our Society, 2,600 of the Y. M. C. A. in Seattle, will be
very glad to supplement all these efforts. In conclusion, you have got
to either assimilate these men or they will ruin yon. They are here
with prejudices; they are here with antagonisms; they are here with
vigor, and somebody must rule those men for righteousness and get
them into the right way. Who is going to do it? I say all honor to
you, and I am glad to be a member of a society that will take hold and
help make those men good citizens of the United States.

Judge Remington : It seems to me that this is certainly one of the
most important works that our organization can be engaged in. In
New York State we have taken no little part in this work, and it is
something that appeals to these men, and it is a source of great satis-
faction to be engaged in this work. I am not very familiar with the
work of the Syracuse Chapter with reference to this, but I know that
very effective work has been done in Syracuse and along these lines.
There has also been much work done in Buffalo and Rochester. On
February 22, a year ago, and on last February 22 we had a service, or
a meeting, at which all of the aliens who had taken out their final papers
within a period of sixty days or so were gathered together and they
received their final certificates of citizenship. On the evening of Feb-
ruary 22 there was a patriotic service held at our Convention Hall, pre-
sided over by the Mayor of the city, and distinguished speakers were
present, and they were presented those certificates, coming up in front

108 SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

to receive them, and it was a great pleasure to see the satisfaction on
their faces when they received those certificates. They came dressed in
their best clothes. A large proportion of them were Italians, and the
whole meeting — the Convention Hall was packed with those interested
in this service. The Daughters of the American Revolution also have
taken part in fostering this work, and the idea in our State is to lift
this form of life, this ceremony, make it more important, and impress
upon these citizens the value of what they are getting. Now at that
meeting our most distinguished citizens were present, and there was a
salute to the flag, and these men lined up in front of the platform, and
as their names were read they came forward and received their cer-
tificate of citizenship. As I said, there can be no more important work
in which we could be engaged than this. In the city of Rochester, with
a population of 250,000, the figures show that there are 140,000 citizens
of that city one of whose parents was born in a foreign land, and I may
say that those people are faithful, law-abiding citizens ; that there would
not be any sympathy with any other country in case this country were
drawn into difficulty with any other, which God forbid ; but they would
all stand shoulder to shoulder for this country and fight for it, although
their parentage was with a foreign nation ; and so I hope this work will
go on and this excellent report made by the Chairman will receive con-
sideration in all the States, as I have no doubt it has done, and I know
that the work has progressed in other States as well as in New York.
I may say that in New York County I believe that the county clerk of
that county has prepared a pamphlet at his own expense, not at the ex-
pense of the public, but at his own expense, for distribution to the citi-
zens who are to receive their final papers. A few weeks ago I happened
to be in the court-house in New York City and engaged in a trial of a
case, and I noticed a great crowd of men there. They were foreign-
born citizens. I asked some one what this demonstration wasi about,
and he said they were citizens receiving their final papers. There were
four or five hundred gathered around the corridor; there was not room
in the court-room for them. They were there receiving their papers.
If the reception of these citizens as citizens could be made more em-
phatic and more impressive, it seems to me it would be a great thing, as
it is made more impressive in many localities of the country. These
men are anxious to become citizens ; they are anxious to take part, and
they highly prize what is given them, and the more ceremony we throw
about this, the more dignity attached to it, the better it will be for them.
(Applause.)

The Chairman : The Chair might state that in the city of Syracuse
the Sons of the American Revolution there acted with the Chamber of
Commerce in having a social survey made of all the alien population.
An expert was brought there and spent two weeks making this survey.
As a result, every factory or place where foreigners are employed has
now several large posters distributed about the building, headed by the
words, "Learn English; it means a better job; means better pay; it

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. I 09

means better things for your family." The result of that has been an
increased number of those applying for their first papers, and by co-
operation with the Board of Education the hours of the night schools
have been extended, and the result has been an enrollment in those
schools of threefold the number that was enrolled before this survey
was made. I simply bring this matter to your attention as showing a
very practical way of increasing the attendance at the night schools
where these aliens are taught English. We would like to have a word
from Mr. Henry, who was Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce
Committee of the city of Detroit, where a similar survey was made on
a little more exhaustive basis than the one in Syracuse, and the result
there; I know you would be interested in hearing from Mr. Henry just
what was accomplished.

Mr. Burgess : The President of the Connecticut Society has asked me
to make allusion to the work of the State Society in New Haven. We
have been working with our new Americans about four months, result-
ing in a patriotic celebration which was carried on entirely by these men
working with our committee and which was eminently successful. It
has brought us into very much closer touch with them and produced a
great and increasing desire for naturalization. This celebration was
held on the 27th of April, probably too late to be reported, and filled
our largest auditorium to overflowing, and was participated in by
many — as great a number as possible — of our own American people ;
and it brought us in closer touch with them and brought them in closer
touch with our ideals, and I shall be glad to turn over one of these
programs to Chairman Jenks and have him realize that Connecticut is
making rapid strides. We have had the co-operation of the students of
Yale University and the Y. M. C. A. has co-operated, and we have the
entrance to all the large plants and the heads of the different factories
report to us the most satisfactory progress and the most satisfactory
results among their employees in this work. We have nine nationalities
participating in our program and an audience of more than four thou-
sand, which more than fills Woolsey Hall, and a very gratifying pro-
gram.

Colonel Vrooman : I am a Dutchman, and therefore speak bluntly.
I think this is the most important topic. Mr. President General, you
struck the keynote of this Congress when you said, referring to aliens,
"learn English." (Applause.) The Sons of the American Revolution
want the good people who come to this land to learn English. * * *
I want to say to my brother here, you have told a lot of truth about
the Y. M. C. A. I have been a member of the International Committee
of the Y. M. C. A. for twenty years. I know the work it has done here
and abroad, and I think we ought to fraternize1 with that God-given
institution, so that together we may teach our dear alien brothers to
become true and tried Americans. Now, I ask your pardon ; I did not
intend to say five words, but I couldn't help it. I have been through
one war; I have seen its misery; but I saw, too, that out of that miserv

came a grander, more glorious country. If we stand together, Ameri-
cans one and all, and back up our Commander-in-Chief of the Army
and Navy, no nation on top of God's earth dare do anything except to
pay obeisance to us. Don't be afraid of war, dear compatriots, against
any government on earth, so long as we are united. God bless the
Stars and Stripes. (Applause.)

Judge Remington : Just one other word. I want to say that through
the agency of our National Society^ and largely through its interest in
this matter, at the time when Commander Moore was the chairman of
this committee, our Society started this work of English, teaching Eng-
lish to the foreigners in our city. Now our Board of Education em-
ploys one of its school principals to conduct evening schools for the
purpose of teaching English to the foreign-born citizens, those who are
twenty-one and over, and those night schools are attended by several —
about fifteen hundred to eighteen hundred. They desire to attend those
schools and they show a very great interest in the work. This Society
sowed the seed that brought about that work and interested our Board
of Education to employ this principal and to make appropriations for
this purpose.

(There was some discussion as to possible violation of the National
laws on naturalization in some States.)

The Chairman : We have before us the report of the committee for
consideration. If the gentleman will offer his motion after we dispose
of the report, it will be received. I think the Society is indebted to this
committee, to the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, for the very exhaustive
and interesting report they have given us on this subject. If there is
no objection, the report will be received and placed on file. Is there
any further discussion? Hearing none, the Chair will direct that the
report be received and placed on file.

Mr. Baldwin : In regard to what has been said, I think it will not be
amiss to state that Oregon in 1914, by popular vote, raised the require-
ment to vote from six months' residence in the State until they had got
their second or final papers, five years — six months to five years.

Mr. Dutton : In behalf of the State of Washington, I wish to say
the same law is in force ; and while I am on my feet I want to say that
the State Society is reviving the old-fashioned Fourth of July. On the
Fourth of July we are inviting these new-made citizens to patriotic
events, patriotic addresses, where we ask them to take part. We offer
a prize for the first, second, and third best essays upon Americanism,
and in conjunction with the Y. M. C. A. we also co-operate, as Doctor
Foster said, but also with the Council of Social Agency, which repre-
sents sixty-two social agencies of the city of Seattle. We conduct this
Fourth of July celebration for the assimilation of our new-made citizens.

Commander Moore : I would like to offer this resolution :

Whereas when an alien becomes a citizen of our country his wife
and minor children, if residing in the United States, become automatic-
ally citizens ; and

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. Ill

Whereas the alien in becoming a citizen is obliged to take the oath
of allegiance, but there is no provision of law obliging his minor chil-
dren to take such oath upon their arriving at the voting age and desiring
to cast their first vote ; and

Whereas we now have a large body of automatic citizens voting each
year who have not taken the oath of allegiance : Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That it is the sense of this the National Congress of the
Sons of the American Revolution that all citizens should be obliged to
take the oath of allegiance before casting their first vote.

The Chairman : The resolution will be referred to the Committee
on Resolutions.

[As recorded later in these Proceedings, the resolution was adopted,
and on June 3 Compatriot Dillingham introduced a bill in Congress as
follows :

64th Congress, 1st Session. S. 6288.
In the Senate of the United States.

June 3, 1916. — Mr. Dillingham introduced the following bill, which was
read twice and referred to the Committee on Immigration.

A BiEE to amend section twenty-one hundred and seventy-two of the
Revised Statutes of the United States.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled, That section twenty-
one hundred and seventy-two of the Revised Statutes of the United
States of America be amended so as to read as follows :

"Sec. 2172. The foreign-born children of persons who have been duly
naturalized under any law of the United States, or who, previous to the
passing of any law on that subject by the Government of the United
States, may have become citizens of any one of the States, under the
laws thereof, being under the age of twenty-one years at the time of
the naturalization of their parents, shall, in each instance, if dwelling
in the United States, be considered as citizens thereof if within one
year after reaching the age of twenty-one years they make oath to sup-
port the Constitution and laws of the United States before a court hav-
ing jurisdiction of naturalization in the district in which they reside;
and the children of persons who now are, or have been, citizens of the
United< States shall, though born out of the limits and jurisdiction of
the United States, be considered as citizens thereof; but no person here-
tofore proscribed by any State or who has been legally convicted of
having joined the Army of Great Britain during the Revolutionary War
shall be admitted to become a citizen without the consent of the legis-
lature of the State in which such person was proscribed."]

The Chairman : The next committee to report is the Flag Commit-
tee. In the absence of Chairman Cox, Colonel Lauman will read the
report.

REPO'RT OF FLAG COMMITTEE.

W. V. Cox, Chairman; Col. George V. Lauman, John F. Durston,
Gen. James R. Lincoln, Gen. Thomas M. Anderson, U. S. A.; Thomas
A. Perkins, Claude Hamilton.

The Flag Committee of the National Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution begs to report that no law to prevent the desecra-
tion of the flag of the United States has as yet been enacted by the

112 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

64th Congress. It has pleasure to report, however, that the Committee
on the District of Columbia, House of Representatives, has reported
favorably Mr. Oglesby's bill, H. R. No. 14822, "To prevent and punish
the desecration, mutilation, or improper use within the District of Co-
lumbia of the flag of the United States of America." [The bill passed
the House June 12 and is now before the Senate; see Appendix A.]

The wave of patriotism now sweeping over the country has stimu-
lated four additional States to enact protecting flag laws. Last August
the Legislature of Alabama took favorable action, followed by South
Carolina in February, Virginia in March, and Mississippi in April. A
list of the States, Territories, and insular possessions of the United
States having flag laws is made a part of this report (Appendix B).

The lack of agreement as to the wording of a National Flag Bill, as
set forth in the report of the committee last year, continues to handicap
favorable congressional action. The Portland Congress of this Society
approved the recommendation that a joint conference of representa-
tives of the various patriotic societies be held with a view to agreement,
if possible, on a bill that all organizations could and would support.

The Washington Congress of the Daughters of the American Revo-
lution, through the untiring efforts of Mrs. George B. Macfarlane,
Chairman of its Flag Committee, last year approved such action, but
no delegates have been appointed by either Society, and there the matter
rests. Nevertheless the sentiment for a clean flag is growing, as shown
by business men taking up the question of the proper use of the flag.
In Washington the Board of Trade has a Special Committee on "Law
Protecting Nation's Flag" that is quite active. The Retail Merchants'
Association is also doing effective work. Last month Mr. Ross P.
Andrews, President of the Association, told the merchants that no ad-
vertisement of any sort must be allowed to be attached to the flag of
the United States. The flag, he said, may be freely used for decorative
purposes so long as the user observes respect for his country's dignity
as represented by the American flag.

The merchants in many cities have placed large incandescent flags
over their stores and mills that their employees and others seeing will
become familiar with the emblem of the Republic as an incentive to
patriotism.

Mr. Francis A. Schneider, of the well-known Ketterlinus Lithographic
Manufacturing Company, of Philadelphia, Pa., says that it is a great
pity there is no Federal flag law, so that we would know just what to-
do. Recently a Philadelphia photographic magazine, one of the best
and foremost photographic papers in the country, had on its cover a
beautiful reproduction of an interior scene of Betsy Ross making the
flag, and through the open window, in the background, was Independ-
ence Hall. This was sent through the mail without any trouble, but
was held up at Boston. . . . What is the prospect for a Federal law
that would be uniform throughout the States?

A telegram to the New York Times from Boston says : "The July
number of the Modern Priscilla shows the figure of an aged woman
industriously sewing an American flag. The Youth's Companion has
withdrawn its entire issue, for its cover design showed a girl, tin horn
in one hand, firecrackers in the other, and with two small flags woven
in her hair. Leslie's Weekly for June 3 featured a large American flag
with excerpts from the United States note to Germany.

Under the State law regarding advertising, Police Superintendent
Crowley contends that the flag is used to attract attention and secure
sale of the magazines.

The lack of uniform State flag laws has proven a hardship in some
cases; but the attention of the thoughtless has been forcibly called to
the fact that the flag of the United States is not to be treated as an
attractive piece of bunting. It is somewhat anomalous that the Boston

PROCEEDINGS 01? NEWARK CONGRESS. I I 3

post-office should continue to use a mechanical simulation of the United
States flag to cancel stamps on letters, when these officials are so punc-
tilious about flag designs on magazines.

The New York Police Department is to be commended for its recent
order to the 10,000 men on the force, that they will be required to salute
the flag when they pass it on any public occasion.

It should be the duty of officials and custodians of public buildings
to see that the flag is properly raised and lowered; that the flag is not
worn out by continuous day and night display. If officials do not show
respect for their country's flag their constituents should.

As a rule, flags are properly displayed on all Federal buildings at the
National Capital. Flags fly at full staff on school buildings from 8.30
a. m. to 4.30 p. m. on all school days and legal holidays and other days
made holidays by proclamation of the President. On Memorial Day the
flag is placed at half staff.

The suggestion in the report of last year, that the opinion of Justice
Harlan in the Nebraska Flag case (1907) be read at Flag Day exer-
cises in the public schools of the United States, has been kindly received
and has been adopted by several of the schools. Superintendent Thurs-
ton, of Washington, approves the idea, and thinks it advisable to have
Justice Harlan's memorable words read at the exercises of the older
pupils.

The physical desecrations of the flag this year have not been so
numerous. Window dressers and platform decorators continue to use
the flag as improperly as the farmer near Marcellus, New York, who
uses it to cover his tomato vines on frosty nights, or the person dis-
covered by Mrs. Isabel Worrell Ball, who used the flag as a shroud
when he buried his pet dog.

The United States shield, which is not mentioned specifically in any
State flag law, has been frequently debased by advertisers, those using
it claiming that State laws only apply to articles of merchandise or
receptacles for carrying merchandise and must be in connection with
something to be sold.

We commend President Wilson's tribute to the flag:

"As I look at that flag I seem to see many characters upon it which
are not visible to the physical eye. There seem to move ghostly visions
of devoted men who, looking to that flag, thought only of liberty, of the
rights of mankind, of the mission of America to show the way to the
world for the realization of those rights. And the grave of every brave
man in the country would seem to have upon it the colors of the flag,
if he were a true American — would seem to have on it that stain of red
which means the true pulse of blood ; that patch of pure white which
means the peace of the soul. And then there seems to rise over the
graves of those men and to hallow their memories that blue space of
the sky in which swim those stars which exemplify for us the glorious
galaxy of the States of the Union which stand together to vindicate the
rights of mankind."

This is the flag Americans want to protect by a national statute. It
seems anomalous at this time, when men are talking love of country,
that Congress should hesitate to protect that flag in this country by law,
on the theory that such a law would be unconstitutional. It is sheer
nonsense to think that any court would hold that Congress cannot pro-
tect by national statute the flag which it created and which can only be
abolished b}^ Congress.

After years of activity, it is the opinion of your committee that Na-
tional Flag legislation can only be secured by united, earnest support of
a single bill.

In concluding this report, I desire to commend the untiring efforts of
R. C. Ballard Thruston, Louisville; Maj. Moses Veale, President of the
Philadelphia Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution ; Dr. Samuel

Dr. Foster : Mr. Chairman, I want to introduce a resolution that
may go with the report of the Aliens Committee. (The resolution
commends the work of the several Y. M. C. A. organizations in the
instruction of aliens and pledges hearty co-operation with them in this
work.)

The Chairman: That will be referred to the Committee on Resolu-
tions. Next is the report of the Committee on Military and Naval
Records.

REPORT ON MILITARY AND NAVAL RECORDS.

Colonel Kniffin : I did not expect to make this report ; I expected
the Chairman to make it. We are all interested in recruiting this great
organization. When we read of the comparatively small numbers that
are added every year, we feel a little ashamed that so splendid an or-
ganization as this should grow so slowly. As a means of recruiting, it
has occurred to quite a number of us that the publication of the names
of our Revolutionary ancestors would be of great value in this way.
There are thousands of people who would see that publication and find,
to their surprise and delight, that one of their ancestors living in a cer-
tain town enlisted in a certain organization, entitling them to member-
ship in this organization. Now the years go by and drag slowly by,
with the hope and expectation in our minds that some day the records
in the War Department will be printed ; but I think these boys here will
be as gray headed as I am before it is done. Now the Pension Office
has a very large number — thousands of names of men who have applied
for pensions. Of course, that is only a portion of the men who served
in the Revolutionary War. There were thousands of men who died be-
fore they were pensioned, before they could apply for a pension — all
those men who, through battle and disease, had passed away without
ever having applied for a pension. More than that, from the close of
the Revolutionary War, in 1787, to 1832 the minute men were not pen-
sioned, so that all those who passed away could not appear in this ; but
there are thousands of names that are borne upon the pension record
that can be printed at a very small expense. For your information, I
addressed a letter to the Commissioner of Pensions and received the
following reply :

Il6 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Department of the Interior, Bureau of Pensions,

Washington, April 22, 1916.
Col. Gilbert C. Kniffin,

Civil War Division, Bureau of Pensions.
Dear Sir: In response to your request for information relative to
the present condition of the claims filed on account of service in the
War of the Revolution, you are advised as follows :

The papers in the claims have been flat filed by placing same in linen-
lined envelopes and filing them alphabetically in vertical cap size tiling
cabinets. These papers are in good condition, considering their age,
and are being preserved with great care.

A synopsis showing the name, State, service, and post-office address
of the pension could be prepared for printing within a reasonable
period, and the cost of printing same in two volumes could be sold at
cost to the public and the proceeds turned in to the U. S. Treasury,
thereby repaying the government for the cost of publication. A bill
embodying these features has been introduced by Senator Clapp, of
Minnesota, and is now pending in the Senate.
Very truly yours,

G. M. Saetzgaber,

Commissioner.

In order to assist in that, I think that action might be taken by this
Congress urging upon Congress our great desire, the importance of
this. These books will be sold at a nominal price ; they will cost very
little; they will be printed at the Public Printing Office, and the cost
will be very small ; so that the members of this Congress could all get
copies and distribute them, if we are really in earnest, and I believe
they will result in recruiting. As a business matter merely, recruiting
would be of immense value to us, aside from the fact that it is a great
thing to see the names of our ancestors in those records. It is about
all the aristocracy we have in America and it is a pretty good thing to
see in print.

The bill referred to by the Commissioner is as follows :

64th Congress, 1st Session. S. 5275.

In the Senate of the United States.

March 25, 1916. — Mr. Clapp introduced the following bill, which was
read twice and referred to the Committee on Printing.

A Bill making appropriation for publishing the name, service, and
post-office address of persons who were granted pensions on ac-
count of service in the Revolutionary War.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled, That there is hereby
appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appro-
priated, the sum of $10,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to
pay for the cost of publishing, arranging alphabetically, the name, serv-
ice, and post-office address of those persons to whom pensions were
granted on account of service in the Revolutionary War. Said work
shall be done under the direction of the Commissioner of Pensions and
shall be offered for sale to the public at a price sufficient to cover the
cost of publication; if printed in one volume, at a price not to exceed
$3.50; if printed in two volumes, at a price not to exceed $2.50. The
proceeds of such sales to be covered into the Treasury of the United

States, to be deposited to the credit of miscellaneous receipts on ac-
count of "Proceeds of sales of government property."

The Chairman : You have heard the report of the Committee on
Military and Naval Records. If there is no objection, the report will
be received and filed. Hearing no objection, the report will be con-
sidered as received and filed.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON INVESTMENT OF
PERMANENT FUND.

The Chairman : The next committee is one on Investment of Per-
manent Fund, of which the President General is ex officio chairman.
The Chair would report that the securities belonging to the Permanent
Fund were examined on Saturday last in the Safe Deposit Compar-
and found correct, as the report rendered by the Treasurer General
showed. The next report is that of the Committee on National
Archives Building, Colonel Bryan.

REPORT ON NATIONAL ARCHIVES BUILDING

Colonel Bryan : Mr. President General and Compatriots, the Com-
mittee on National Archives Building is able to report progress at this
time and to advise you that the time is ripe for striking some effective
blows with Congress to secure the speedy accomplishment of what we
have so long been interested in.

Washington, D. C, May 10, 1916.
Mr. Neweix B. Woodworth,

President General, National Society, S. A. R., Syracuse, N. Y.

Dear Sir : A special committee on National Archives Building was
appointed at the Annual Congress, held in Syracuse, N. Y., in May, 1914,
as an expression of the deep interest felt by our Society in the erection
of a suitable building at Washington for storing the archives of the
National Government. The need for such a building is pressing, as
the archives of the government are now widely scattered and generally
inaccessible ; their value is priceless, while the danger of loss or dam-
age by fire, dampness, mold, and other enemies is real and increasing.

For nearly forty years Congress has been urged to provide such a
"building. The Senate passed a bill thirty-five years ago authorizing the
construction of an archives building. By authority of an act of Con-
gress passed in 1903, an entire block of land in the city of Washington
was purchased as a site for such a building. That land has since been
devoted to the building now going up for the use of the Interior De-
partment.

The public buildings act, approved March 4, 1913, authorized the con-
struction of a National Archives Building containing not less than
3,000,000 cubic feet of space, capable of extension to a capacity of 8,900,-
000 cubic feet, to cost not more than $1,500,000. The sum of $5,000
was named for the preparation of plans and estimates, but no appro-
priation was made. That sum was appropriated in the sundry civil act,
approved August 1, 1914.

Paragraph 4 of section 21 of the act approved March 4, 1913, which
authorized the construction of a National Archives Building, reads as
follows :

Il8 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

"That before the said designs and estimates are completed inspection
shall be made under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury of
the best modern national archives buildings in Europe, and consulta-
tion shall be had with the best authorities in Europe on the construction
and arrangement of archives buildings."

The war in Europe has made it impracticable to inspect archives
buildings there. Through the efforts of our diplomatic and consular
representatives abroad, our government has been in possession of the
original designs and working plans, or of copies thereof, of all the
principal archives buildings, which has served the purpose of the office
of the supervising architect fully as well as an inspection in Europe of
the buildings themselves. As long, however, as that paragraph remains
on the statute book, it is impossible for the Treasury Department to
report any designs and estimates of its own for such a building. The
Department has asked for the repeal of the paragraph above quoted,
and on Tuesday, May 9, 1916, a bill passed the Senate repealing said
paragraph, and the bill has gone to the House of Representatives for
its action. [Adopted by House, and approved by President June 28,
1916.]

In the meantime plans and estimates have been prepared in the office
of the supervising architect of the Treasury Department for a National
Archives Building. Those who have had an opportunity to see the
plans are enthusiastic over them. They are now in the hands of the
Fine Art Commission, who must approve them. That body meets Tues-
day, May 16, 1916, and a favorable report is forecast. The plans sub-
mitted show a building containing 3,000,000 cubic feet of space, with an
extension to 8,900,000 cubic feet, and also showing an intermediate
capacity which the Department will recommend as absolutely necessary
for immediate use. Several sites have been considered and estimates
have been prepared of the cost of each. < A draft of the legislation
necessary for acquiring a site and proceeding with the construction of
the building is ready to submit to Congress as soon as the repeal of
paragraph 4, above cited, becomes a law.

The above statement of the situation indicates encouraging progress
since the last meeting of the Society. Our efforts should be directed
now, first, to securing the passage in the House of S. 5839, to repeal
paragraph 4 of section 21 of the public buildings act, approved March 4,
1913 ; second, urging upon Congress early and favorable action on the
report which will be made by the Treasury Department as soon as that
bill is passed, asking an appropriation for the construction of a National
Archives Building in accordance with the plans prepared by the Depart-
ment and approved by the Fine Arts Commission.
Very respectfully submitted,

Frederick C. Bryan,

Chairman.

The Chairman : Gentlemen, you have heard the report of the Com-
mittee on National Archives Building. If there is no objection, it will
be received and placed on file. Hearing no objection, the report will
be considered as received and filed. Next is the report of the Com-
mittee on The Washington Guard, Mr. Merrill.

A Member: Mr. Merrill requested me, in the event of his absence, to
ask leave to report later on.

The Chairman : The committee asks leave to report later on. The
Chairman assumes there will be no objection to this course. The Chair
would suggest that any delegates desiring to introduce resolutions do

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 119

so at this time, so that the Committee on Resolutions may have an op-
portunity for their consideration.

Colonel Eujott : I desire to offer a resolution with regard to the
Valley Forge Memorial, to be submitted to the Committee on Resolu-
tions.

(For resolution see committee's report later on.)

The Chairman: The resolution will be referred in the usual course
to the Committee on Resolutions.

Mr. Lum : I desire to offer a resolution at the request of the New
Jersey delegation.

( The resolution called for the adoption by the National Society of
the pledge to the flag used by the New Jersey Society. See opening of
Congress.)

The Chairman : Gentlemen, you have heard the resolution. It will
be referred to the Committee on Resolutions. (See report of com-
mittee.)

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
REVOLUTION.

Mr. Weeks : In 1925 will occur the beginning of the 150th anniver-
sary of the starting of the Revolution, and in the years that will follow
there will be observed year by year the 150th anniversary of all the
various events of importance connected with the Revolution. It has
seemed to the New Jersey Society, and I speak on their behalf, that
some steps should be taken now, years in advance, so that preparation
may be made properly for the observance of all these anniversaries,
and that a committee should be appointed who shall take this matter up
deliberately and carefully and plan out a series of commemorations of
all of these events, doing it systematically and providing for the cele-
bration on the sites of the various battles of all of the battles of the
Revolution. We feel that as a patriotic society, pledged as one of our
objects to perpetuate the memory of these events that are the founda-
tion of our national existence, we should provide adequately for a proper
celebration of them all. We do not believe that it should be left to
localities to handle this matter alone, but that through our National
organization, perhaps in conjunction with other patriotic societies, if
you choose, that this matter should be handled on a grand scale.

The Chairman : The Chair will have to call the gentleman to order,
as resolutions are not debatable.

Mr. Weeks : I did not intend to debate, but merely to explain, the
resolution, which I will now proceed to read :

Whereas the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Revolution
will be celebrated in 1925 ; and

Whereas the Sons of the American Revolution has as one of its
objects the perpetuation of the history of our struggle for Independ-
ence: Therefore be it

Resolved, That the National Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution appoint a committee at this 27th Annual Congress to con-

120 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

sider and report upon the feasibility in 1925 and the years following of
a proper celebration of all the important events connected with the
Revolutionary struggle.

The Chairman : The resolution will be referred to the Committee
on Resolutions. (See committee's report, page 129.)

Mr. Arter: Mr. President General, I would like to present a resolu-
tion adopted by the Western Reserve Society at Cleveland and after-
ward adopted by the Ohio Society at their convention this year, and it
will be rewritten for submission to this Congress tomorrow morning.
It is in regard to placing the American flag in all the United States
court-rooms and in rooms used by the officers of the United States who
have to do with the naturalization of aliens.

The Chairman : The resolution will be received and referred to the
Committee on Resolutions. (See committee's report.)

Mr. Edward F. Arthurs : In behalf of Judge Stockbridge, Past
President General of this Society, who was asked by some of his friends
to prepare and send here a resolution on the subject of preparedness.
I present this resolution.

(The resolution was referred to the Committee on Resolutions.)

Commander Moore: I beg to offer this resolution, authorizing the
Committee on National Archives Building to take steps to secure an
appropriation for that purpose. (See report of Committee on Resolu-
tions.)

The Chairman : The resolution will be received and referred to the
Committee on Resolutions. The reception at Governor Murphy's is at
4 o'clock, and a motion will now be in order that we take a recess unt.il
9.30 tomorrow morning.

The Secretary General : The following telegram has been received :

Philadelphia, May 15, 19 16.
A. Howard Clark,

Robert Treat Hotel, Newark, N. J.:
Express to the Congress assembled my sincere greetings.

Herman W. FernbErger.

Bx-V ice-President General.

(The Congress then voted to take a recess until the following day at
-9.30 a. m.)

Second Day's Session, May 16.

Secretary General Clark called the Congress to order. The President
'General entered and took the chair and the colors were received.

The Chairman : Flag of our great Republic, hallowed by noblest
deeds and loving sacrifice, guardian of our homes and inspiration of
•every battle for the right, whose stars and stripes stand for beauty,
purity, patriotism, and the Union, we salute thee. For thy defense, the

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. I 2 I

•protection of onr country, and the conservation of the liberty of the
American people, we pledge our hearts, our lives, and our sacred honor.

The invocation will be asked by Dr. Kirbye.

Rev. Dr. KirbyE: Help us to appreciate the fact, our Father, that our
life as a people has been made possible through toil and sacrifice, and
that if we are to pass on anything to the coming generation that will
be worth while, it will be because we put into the life of our day the
same spirit and the same toil, the same heroism that our fathers and
mothers put into the life of their day. Help us, we pray Thee, to be
■worthy children of worthy sires and grant Thy blessings, our Father,
upon our country. Grant Thy blessings to be upon the President of the
United States, upon all men who sit in judicial places. We pray that
our nation may be one whose God is the Lord. May righteousness
triumph within all our borders. May the spirit of patriotism increase
and may we uphold the ideals that have been purchased at such a great
cost. Amen.

The Chairman : The color-bearers will stack the colors. The Chair
invites the Past Presidents General that are present to take seats upon
the platform. The first business that will be taken up this morning will
be the presentation of the flags, and I will ask Mr. Dutton, of Wash-
ington, to come forward, and also Mr. Adams, President of the New
Jersey Society. The Traveling Banner last year was won by the State
•of Washington. This year it has been won by the State of New Jersey.
It will be presented by Mr. Dutton, President of the Washington State
'Society, to Mr. Adams, President of the New Jersey Society.

PRESENTATION OF TRAVELING BANNER.

Mr. Dutton : Mr. President General and President Adams of the
New Jersey Society, it is with mingled pleasure and regret — regret at
parting and the pleasure of delivering this flag to you. You have won
it, and to the victor belongs the spoils. (Applause.) I congratulate you.

Mr. Adams: Mr. President General and Compatriots, I speak for
New Jersey when I say that we are, of course, very happy to receive
back this Traveling Banner. I only wish there were banners enough to
go round for every State, for in that case each State would have ac-
quired the largest number of members for our National Society, and
that would have meant a great increase of strength and influence and
prestige. New Jersey did not work for itself in this matter; we were
working for the National Society, and so we feel that the reward which
has come to us is not a selfish reward, but is a proper and appropriate
-one under the circumstances. Thank you. (Applause.)

PRESENTATION OF SYRACUSE BANNER.

The Chairman : Last year at the Portland Congress another flag was
•offered for the greatest actual enrolment of new members by any State
Society, believing that a State Society that had the actual increase

122 SONS OF THE) AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

should be recognized as well as one having a percentage of increase,.
The Syracuse Chapter of the Empire State Society donated this flag,
and on behalf of the Syracuse Chapter and the generous donor of that
flag I have been requested to present it. This year New Jersey has had
a dual success, not only the greatest percentage, but the greatest actual
increase, and it is with great pleasure, Mr. President of the New Jersey
Society, that, on behalf of the Syracuse Chapter of the Empire State-
Society, I intrust to your keeping, for the first time, this new flag for
the actual increase in membership. (Applause.)

Mr. Adams : Mr. President General, I have requested my good friend'
and former President of the New Jersey Society and chairman of the
committee who planned for this Congress, and we hope has planned in-
a way to please you all. Mr. John Lenord Merrill, to accept this banner
in behalf of New Jersey.

Mr. Merrill : Mr. President and Mr. President General, it is indeed
an honor to accept a banner from our dear good friends of Syracuse.
The Syracuse Chapter always knows how to do things and to do things-
rightly. Mr. President General, New Jersey appreciates this gift more
than I can ever put in words. We are proud to win it. We are over-
modest, as you may have noticed during our Congress, but I thank:
you, and I beg you. Air. President General, to carry back to your great
Chapter the thanks, the heart-felt thanks, of New Jersey, and we will
be at the next Annual Congress, sir, to take it back to New Jersey
again. (Laughter and applause.)

Mr. Jenks : May T at this point introduce a resolution?

The Chairman : Aery proper, sir.

THE WASHINGTON GUARD.

Mr. Jenks : I want to present a resolution expressive of a sentiment
which, since the events of last evening, has been uppermost in all our
thoughts :

Whereas the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution seeks-
to inspire a more profound reverence for the principles of the govern-
ment founded by our forefathers, to foster true patriotism, to maintain
and extend the institutions of American freedom, and to insure for the
term ''Americanism" the respect of the whole world; and

WTHEREAS the future of our nation lies in the quality of patriotism
acquired by those now growing up into manhood ; and

Whereas the duty and obligation of the members of this Society to
foster love of country among the young are nowhere more urgent and
personal than among our own sons ; and

Whereas this conviction has found effective expression in the crea-
tion of The Washington Guard; and

Whereas the splendid public exhibition of its ceremonies and ritual
presented by the New Jersey Society and its Commandery of The
Washington Guard has strongly impressed the members of this Con-
gress with the power of The Washington Guard to awaken love of our
country and promote good citizenship : Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Sons" of the American Revolution, in Congress

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 1 23

assembled, hail The Washington Guard as a most effective and inspir-
ing agency in the promotion of the cause of pure Americanism ; that
we extend to the New Jersey Society, and especially to Compatriot
John Lenord Merrill, profound thanks for the intelligently directed
"efforts resulting in the establishment of the New Jersey Commandery
of The Washington Guard and the splendid exhibition of its ritual ;
and be it further

Resolved, That it is the sense of this Congress that each State So-
ciety should proceed as rapidly as may be to establish within its juris-
diction a commandery of The Washington Guard, to the end that the
sons of our members throughout the land may be given the oppor-
tunity to absorb that quality of patriotism which will exalt pure Amer-
icanism.

(Motion seconded.)

The Chairman : Under the rules this resolution will go to the Com-
mittee on Resolutions.

(Jt was moved and carried, by a rising vote, that the rules be sus-
pended and the resolution was adopted.)

THE AMERICAN RED CROSS.
Mr. Marble: I move the adoption of the following resolution:

Whereas the work being done by the Red Cross on the battlefields
and in the hospitals of Europe especially commends itself to every
patriotic citizen; and

Whereas the membership in the American Red Cross is far less than
that of any of her sister nations : Therefore

Resolved, That the National Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution urges upon its constituent bodies and their local member-
ship to enroll as members of the American Red Cross Society, branches
of which are being now established throughout the entire country, and
thus aid in placing the American Red Cross on a par with other nations
in size and efficiency.

(The resolution offered by Mr. Marble in reference to the Red Cross
Society was adopted under a suspension of the rules.)

PLEDGE TO THE FLAG.

Rev. Mr. Foster: Mr. President General and Compatriots, I want to
offer the following motto for general use throughout the Society on
saluting the flag. I have studied mottoes for some time. I have been
studying the one that has been used today. Now, this is short, right
to the point, and tells what we mean. It is not new ; there are only
two words changed. Let me read it slowly : "I pledge allegiance to my
God, to my home, my flag, and to the Republic for which it stands ;
one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." I move you,
sir, that we adopt this motto or pledge. (Applause.)

The Chairman : Gentlemen, under the rules, that amendment or sub-
stitute for the resolution already before us, introduced yesterday, will
go to the Committee on Resolutions for consideration.

124 SONS OF THE) AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

VICE-PRESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS.

Mr. Curtis : The Constitution of the Sons of the American Revolu-
tion was, in a large way, born in Connecticut, but still it seems to some
of us in the "Nutmeg State" that it is weak in one respect, and that is
in regard to our Vice-Presidents General. Now, I have no resolution
to offer at this time, but I want to serve notice that at the next Con-
gress I will have an amendment to the Constitution in regard to the
duties of the Vice-Presidents General. At the present time we elect
five Vice-Presidents General, all of whom may be elected from the
same city. Their duties, according to your book, are simply that they
shall preside in case of the sickness or absence of the President; they
have no other duties whatsoever. Now, these live Vice-Presidents are
and are apt to be five of our very best men, and it seems to us as if we
might make some better use of them than to simply elect them and
have them disappear in the discard, as they are apt to do now. Con-
necticut feels, and so do some of the other Societies I have talked to,
that if we should divide the country into five districts or zones, elect a
Vice-President General from each one of these zones, and then make
him the personal representative of the President in that particular zone,
it would not only enable the Society at a distance to have a representa-
tive of the President present at any function, but he also would be in
general charge of the affairs of the Society — of course, subject to the
control of the President at any time — and would act a general boomer
for the Society in his particular zone and would be responsible for it.
It is a system that is carried on by many other large societies, and it
seems to us as if it would make a powerful influence for good in the
Society where now we are lacking in that respect. The idea has
already been passed on by the Connecticut delegates who are here, and
at our meeting in June we propose to put it before the Connecticut
Society, and I think it will be approved by them. It will be carefully
drawn with the assistance of Judge Beardsley, who is the father of the
present Constitution, and will be presented in due course to the next
Congress. I wanted to tell you what we had in our minds, so that
when you receive the announcement of the next convention you will
know what we hope to do. (Applause.)

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS.

The Chairman: I will ask the Committee on Resolutions if it is
ready to report? Mr. Pngsley, for the Committee on Resolutions, will
render the report.

Mr. PuGSLEY: Mr, President General and Compatriots, your Com-
mittee on Resolutions reports as follows :

Oath 01' Allegiance.

The committee recommends and moves the adoption of the following"
resolution submitted by Commander Moore:

Whereas when an alien becomes a citizen of our country his wife
and minor children, if residing in the United States, become automat-
ically citizens ; and

Whereas we now have a large body of automatic citizens voting each
year who have not taken the oath of allegiance : Now. therefore, be it

Resolved, That it is the sense of this the National Congress of the
Sons of the American Revolution that all citizens should be obliged to
take the oath of allegiance before casting their first vote.

(A motion was made and discussed to eliminate the word "his.'')

Commander MoorE : I would like to make a few remarks before any
motion like that is carried [referring to elimination of '"his"], as I was
the originator of that resolution. This is not any question for the
States; it is a question of national legislation. (Applause.) What we
want to get through Congress is a law applying to aliens, their sons, and
their wives — it will apply to them — and to do that we have got to get a
bill through Congress amending the Revised Statutes of the United
States.

The Chairman : The motion to amend having been withdrawn, the
vote now comes on the resolution as originally read.

(The resolution was adopted.)

Memorial to Clara Barton.

Air. PucslEv: The committee has considered the Barton resolution,
proposed by President General Woodworth, and moves its adoption, as
follows :

Whereas an Association has been formed to erect a National Me-
morial in the city of Washington to the memory of Miss Clara Barton,
who was the organizer and active head of the Red Cross Society in this
country for many years, and whose faithful and unselfish devotion to
the wounded and sick Union soldiers during the Civil War, as well as
her devotion to relieving humanity suffering from affliction and disease
in subsequent years in this country, as well as her work abroad in the
interest of the Red Cross Society, is a matter of record and forms one
of the bright pages in the history of the United States : Now it is hereby

128 SONS OF TH^ AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Resolved, That the National Society of the Sons of the American?
Revolution, in Congress assembled, at Newark, N. J., on May 16, hereby
records its approval and endorsement of the objects of the Clara Barton
National Memorial Association to perpetuate the memory of Clara
Barton as an example of a woman faithful to herself, her duty, and in
service to humanity.

(The resolution was adopted.)

Local Chapters.
Mr. PugslEy : The following resolution is also moved for adoption :

Resolved, That the President General appoint a special committee of
seven to consider the subject of recommending a uniform system of
organization of Chapters for all State Societies.

(The resolution was adopted.)

Valley Forge Memoriae.

Mr. PugslEy : The Committee on Resolutions moves the adoption of
the following:

Whereas the site of the encampment of the Continental Army at
Valley Forge during the critical winter of 1777-1778 has been taken over
by the State of Pennsylvania as a State reservation and park, which is
now being beautified by memorials in honor of the heroes of the Revo-
lution ; and

Whereas a chapel, known as "The George Washington Memorial
Chapel," immediately adjoining the "Cloister of the Colonies" and1
"Patriots' Hall," is now being erected, in which chapel every object will
be a memorial to those who took part in the building up of our nation;
and

Whereas many of our State Societies have already taken a deep in-
terest in these memorials and the plans which provide that there shall
be placed in the chapel ceiling handsome oak panels, to be known as the
Roof of the Republic, representing each of the forty-eight States of
our Union, with the coats of arms and bronze seals of the respective
States, the names of the States, the names of the donors, and the names
of those in whose honor the memorials may be given: Therefore be it

Resolved, That this Congress of the Sons of the American Revolu-
tion, approving of all efforts to establish memorials to those who took
part in the great struggle for human liberty and independence, does sug-
gest to our State Societies the appropriateness of being represented in
this splendid memorial to General George Washington at Valley Forge..

Colonel Elliott : I would not take the time of this splendid Congress
in saying a word about this resolution, because the resolution speaks for
itself, were it not for the fact that this is to be left to the State Socie-
ties. As a member of this committee in charge of the Memorial at.
Valley Forge, I would like to say that a great many of the State Socie-
ties have joined in, and I would like to meet with the Presidents of the
State Societies who may be here and give them full information by
which they can be shown the tablet, the kind 01 tablet, and the kind of
shield by which their State can be represented. I do hope, we of Dela-
ware hope, because we feel that this little spot up among the Pennsyl-
vania hills is as dear as Faneuil Hall or Independence Hall to all the:

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. I 20,

Sons of the American Revolution, that you should have your State rep-
resented at Valley Forge, and that each State should be represented
there by having on the shield that is put there the name of the State
Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, and T am very glad to
give you any information you may desire.

(The resolution was then adopted.)

The Chairman : I would suggest that the State Presidents meet
immediately after the Board of Trustees convene, at the close of this
Congress.

(The resolution introduced by Mr. Weeks (see preceding pages) in
reference to the 150th anniversary of the American Revolution, and
providing for the appointment of a committee to consider the celebra-
tion of all the important events connected therewith, was recommended
by the Resolutions Committee and adopted.)

Signers' Memorial Book.

Mr. PugslEY : The committee moves the adoption of the following-
resolution, authorizing the Executive Committee to employ a suitable
person to visit the graves of the Signers of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence :

Resolved, That in pursuance of the suggestion made in the report of
the Memorial Committee, the Executive Committee, in its discretion, be
authorized to employ a suitable person to visit and inspect the burial
places of certain Signers of the Declaration of Independence, and that
said person make a written report in each case, stating the location and
condition of the cemetery, the material and size of the tombstone, the
exact wording of any inscription, and obtaining such photographic views
as may be desirable; also any other information of value that may be
obtained.

(The resolution was adopted.)

American Feag in Court-houses.

Mr. PugslEy : The committee further recommends and moves the
adoption of the following resolution, presented in behalf of the Ohio
State Society by Mr. Arter :

Whereas it has come to the attention of this Society that there is no
provision in the United States statutes requiring the display of the
American flag in the respective United States courts, the offices of the
clerks of said courts, or in the offices of the United States examiners :
Therefore be it

Resolved, That the National Congress of the Sons of the American
Revolution petition the Congress of the United States to the end that
bills be introduced in both branches of the Congress of the United
States, which bills shall duly provide for the furnishing of a suitable
American flag for each of the United States court-rooms, for each of
the offices of the clerks of said courts, and for each of the offices used
in proceedings in connection with the naturalization of aliens.

Mr. Thruston: I think that those flags should be behind the judge's
seat, as a symbol of the fact that the power of the whole United States

130 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

is behind the Department of Justice, and I want to strongly favor the
passage of this resolution. (Applause.)
(The resolution was adopted.)

Pledge to the Flag.

Mr. PugslEy: Mr. President General, it was the consensus of opin-
ion of your committee that the adoption of a pledge to the flag is a
very important question, so important that we believe that we should
have given considerable thought to it, and that it should be referred
possibly to the Executive Committee or to a special committee appointed
for this particular resolution. The beauty of the New Jersey pledge
and its appropriateness, it seems to me, is evident to every compatriot
who has heard it at this Congress, and I wish that we might adopt just
such a resolution, possibly, without the changing of a word; but it is so
important that it was thought wiser to refer it to a committee, as sug-
gested. I move you, sir, that action along this line be taken upon this
resolution.

(Mr. Pugsley's motion was seconded and adopted. See meeting of
Executive Committee, page 203.)

Nation a r. Preparedness.

Mr. Pugsley : Compatriots, I question whether there is any subject
that has been presented to the Resolutions Committee of greater im-
portance than that on national preparedness, and your committee, after
discussing the various resolutions submitted, finally adopted this one
as the sentiment and thought of the committee, as a substitute for all
others :

Resolved, That the National Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution, in Congress assembled, on May 16, IQ16, in the city of New-
ark, N. J., believing that national preparedness is of vital importance to
our Republic, urges upon our National Government, as well as our sev-
eral State governments, such action as shall give to our nation adequate,
proper, and effective military and naval preparedness.

(Mr. Pugsley then moved the adoption of the resolution and the
motion was seconded.)

Mr. Marble : I would suggest that the word "industrial" be added to
the military and naval preparedness.

A Member : May I make an amendment to that— that copies of these
resolutions be transmitted to both Houses of Congress as the voice of
this Society?

Mr. Pugsley : The committee will accept those amendments.

Mr. Thruston : In conversation with one of our compatriots night
before last, he told me that the reason why there was such a small vote
in Congress in favor of increasing the Army recently was due to a
propaganda in the congressional districts of many men who strongly
favor an increase. The threat was made * * * to defeat those

PROCEEDINGS OP NEWARK CONGRESS. I3I

men for re-election unless they voted for a smaller army. * * * I
strongly favor this resolution. It should go also to the governors of
the States. [After some discussion.] I suggest that we send it to
every member of Congress and to such others as the Executive Com-
mittee see proper.

Mr. Pugseey : The committee accepts those amendments.

The Chairman : Does that include the President of the United States
and the members of both Houses of Congress?

Mr. Pugseey: Yes, sir.

Mr. ThrusTon : And such others as the Executive Committee think
proper.

Mr. MarbeE : It has been suggested to me by a gentleman here that
the question I made as to industrial preparedness ought to be qualified
so as not to include government industrial preparedness. If that is of
any importance, I will offer the suggestion.

Mr. Smith, of Utah: May we hear the resolution again?

Mr. Pugseey : "Resolved," etc., "believing that national preparedness
is of vital importance to our Republic" (the word industrial could
come in there), "and, further, that it be submitted to members of Con-
gress, Senators, and the President."

Mr. Bacon: I do not like to object to anything that my friend from
New York State, Mr. Marble, suggests. It seems to me that the reso-
lution as presented by the committee, with the addition of whom it
shall be sent to, would be a proper resolution ; but I do not believe that
we should pass anything here as a request to the National Congress
regarding industrial preparedness. (Applause.) I think we should
stop with naval and military preparedness and go no further, so I will
oppose that amendment.

Mr. McClary : It seems to me that the word industrial, if we had to
take one of the words alone, would be the most important of all. I
think the great war has fully demonstrated this fact. I think that to
leave it out would leave such a resolution inoperative and silly. In-
dustrial preparedness is now the most important of all, because it takes
the longest time. It is absolutely necessary to have it in. The sug-
gestion was made by Mr. Marble that perhaps it ought to be qualified,
perhaps it ought to be restricted ; but placed as it now stands in the
amendment, it is general and can be left either way. I am opposed to
qualifying it; let it stand there in a general way; but by all means let
it stand. (Applause.)

Mr. Curtis : Mr. President General, if I may speak a little bit au-
thoritatively on this subject, I think the word industrial, if it is taken
to mean what the private manufacturing concerns of this country can
do for the government in case of trouble, I think it is all right, and I
think it would be interpreted in that way for the reason that the gov-
ernment has already made inquiries from my concern and many others,
undoubtedly, as to just what we can do in case we were called on by
the government for munitions of various kinds. They have gone to
the extent of asking us to give lists of the machine tools we had, their

132 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

sizes, the sizes of lathes, what size shells we could turn out, and they
have gotten already the data from a very large number of private con-
cerns, without any attempt to control them, as to what part they can
take in it if they were called on. I do not think the word industrial
necessarily means government plants, government armor plants, and
all that sort of thing; but in the sense of the private concerns being-
prepared to take their part in this game, if necessary, I think it is very
important. It has gone so far that it has even been suggested that the
government give each concern a small amount of work along that line
to do every year, just so as to get our men instructed and prepared.
We have been approached to give us a very small amount of a certain
kind of work to do, not to keep us busy, but so that our men will be
accustomed to do that particular kind of work in case they should be
called on for a large amount, and this is very important. Now, just to
give one point, for example, there is a concern in Waterbury, Conn.,
which started to make fuses for the Spanish War. They did not make
many, but they did make fuses for shells. Today they are the only
concern in this country that is making a real success of making fuses,
simply because they made them back in the Spanish War and have
been making a few ever since. All the other concerns had to start in
de novo, and a great many of them have fallen down on the proposi-
tion. I think it shows what we can do without any government control ;
but to have the government know where they can place an order for a
certain amount of goods and get them, I think is most important.

Mr. Stanton: I wish, Compatriots and Mr. President General, to
call attention to one thing in this discussion that has been emphasized.
No one on the floor has any question as to the importance of industrial
preparedness ; that is not an issue in any legislative hall at the present
time, either National or State. What we want to do. I think, as a
body of compatriots, is to line up with what is in issue. I agree with
the gentleman who was speaking a moment ago back there. I think
that the strength of this resolution will be in its concreteness, in its
brevity, and in its concentration. Just as soon as we begin to reach
out on points of industrialism, on points of morals, on points of this,
that, or the other — all of which may be important, and undoubtedly are
important, at least in the minds of the gentlemen here present — we
weaken ourselves, we dilute our resolutions. If we want this thing to
go with a bing, we want to hold it right down to these two things that
are a living issue and make just such a presentation of statements as
was made by the member from Kentucky a few moments ago. * * *
I would urge upon this Congress the concentration of this thing into
just exactly what we really want at this time and about which there is
a dispute.

Admiral Chester : I want to say that there is another feature in con-
nection Avith what the last speaker has said, that the most important
part of this resolution depends on the national defense. The industrial
part of it goes in with the military proposition, as every military
proposition in the world has always been carried out in connection

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 1 33

with the industrial proposition. The Constitution of the United States
distinctly provides that the Congress shall provide for the Army and
Navy of the United States ; it does not provide for carrying on the
industrial work of the country. The President of the United States
lias appealed to the members of the civil profession to support him in
carrying on the industrial proposition as something that comes to them
voluntarily, but the Congress of the United States, by the Constitution,
is only providing for the military and naval propositions of the country,
and that is what the resolution provides for. If you pass the resolu-
tion as it originally stood, that means industrial as well as the military
and naval part of it. The greatest campaign that was ever carried on
in the world, by Lord Kitchener in Egypt, was carried on by the in-
dustrial part of the military establishment in building railroads, intro-
ducing supplies into that country which came in with the military part
of the proposition. The greatest campaign for the national defense
is our Panama Canal. It is an industrial proposition and it comes in
under the national defense, and if you keep this down to the national
defense — as Hamilton once said, that was the first object of federating
these United States — I think you will be safe in passing the original
proposition as it stood. (Applause.)

Mr. Bacon : I move to strike out the word industrial, which the com-
mittee had accepted as an amendment to the resolution.

(This motion was adopted.)

(There was some further discussion as to whom the resolution should
be sent.)

A Member : I move that the resolution be wired today to the Speaker
of the House of Representatives, to the President of the Senate, and
to the President of the United States.

The Chairman : The motion is declared carried. Now the vote is
on the original resolution as presented by the committee, and providing
that it be communicated to the President of the United States, to both
Houses of Congress, and to the Governors of the several States.

(The resolution was adopted.)

Young Men's Christian Association.

Mr. Pugsley : The Committee on Resolutions moves the adoption of
the following resolution :

Resolved, That the National Congress of the Sons of the American
Revolution hereby commends the splendid work of the several Young
Men's Christian Associations engaged in instructing aliens to become
citizens of the United States, and that we hereby assure these organiza-
tions of our hearty co-operation with them in their noble work.

(The resolution was adopted.)

The Chairman: Is there any other new business to come before this
Congress? We are upon new business.

Four meetings of the Board of Managers have been held during the
year, with a good attendance and great interest shown in the proceed-
ings.

A committee was appointed to prepare a resolution to be forwarded
to President Wilson on the preparedness of this nation in case of war.
The resolution was as follows :

The spirit and wisdom of the founders of our government, directed
toward the problems which confronted them at the birth of this nation,
is particularly desirable in the present world contest. Lives and prop-
erty have been expended to maintain our national integrity, but who
can now doubt the propriety of the cost? Even those who formerly
differed on principle are now among its most ardent champions.

The recent experience of peaceful peoples has demonstrated that
kindness and love cannot be relied upon alone to protect them in their
rights against avarice and crime, but that some strong means are
required to insure the enjoyments of those rights. We have had the
priceless blessings of a beneficent government, and in order to safe-
guard its existence we believe it is necessary that every man of every
creed and color in our citizenship should be trained to a patriotic under-
standing that it is his duty to be prepared to offer sacrifices, if neces-
sary, for a continuation of those blessings. We also believe that the
welfare of the whole country demands that our Federal authorities and
representatives make suitable preparations at this time to guard against
the eils which otherwise are sure to beset it.

A good citizenship committee was appointed to co-operate with the
Commissioner of Naturalization of the United States Department of
Labor to encourage and plan for the education of the foreigners who
desire to become citizens of the United States.

On April 27 a big patriotic celebration was held in New Haven at
A'Voolsey Hall in honor of recently admitted citizens.

The celebration had as its object the cementing of a stronger friend-
ship between people of all nationalities and the stimulating of interest
in citizenship and patriotism.

The program consisted of songs by the L^nited German Singing
Societies, composed of 250 voices ; the Roma-Olympia Band, the Swedish
Singing Society, the Lithuanian Chorus, and the Schiez Society; Scottish
"bag-pipe selections, composed of Scottish airs ; the Highland fling and
the sword dance ; piano and violin selections and Irish songs, Polish
songs, and songs from Holland ; a Greek tableau, with Grecian music
and dance by girls in costume. At the end the audience and perform-
ers all joined in signing " America" and the "Star Spangled Banner."

On Sunday, February 20, the clergymen throughout the country were
requested to preach patriotic sermons in memory of George Wash-
ington.

On Patriots' Day, April 19, the citizens throughout the country were
requested to show their belief in preparedness by displaying the Amer-
ican flag.

The annual banquet was held in Bridgeport on Washington's Birth-
day, with an attendance of about 200 members from various parts of
the State. Among the speakers were Francis Harvey Green, of the
State Normal School, Westchester, Pa., and Mrs. John L. Buel, State
Regent of the D. A. R.

The annual meeting and dinner of the Delaware Society was held in
the headquarters at the Wilmington Club, Wilmington, on Saturday
evening, April 15, 1916, at which time officers were elected for the year.

Appropriations were made to the Caesar Rodney Statue to be erected
shortly in Wilmington, and for the Americanization Night Schools. A
committee was appointed to arrange for the marking of the graves of
Revolutionary patriots buried in this State. It is the intention of the
Society to visit in the early springtime the battlegrounds of Brandy-
wine and Valley Forge.

A splendidly arranged dinner was served in the dining rooms of the
club house, which was followed by a well prepared program, which was
enjoyed by all the members present. During the evening a large Ameri-
can flag connected electrically was displayed amid the applause of the
guests and members. Toasts were proposed to Gen. George Wash-
ington, Revolutionary patriots, the President of the United States, and
a silent toast was proposed to the memory of deceased members of the
Society.

Excellent addresses were delivered by former State Attorney General
Robert H. Richards, Dr. Harrison W. Howell, former Mayor of Wil-
mington and a member of the Governor's staff, and Col. William D.
Denney, of Dover, Del., each of whom laid great stress on the necessity
for a state of preparedness for the United States of America to protect
itself against the invasion of any foe and for the upholding of its honor
and liberty.

To the Officers and Delegates of the Twenty-seventh Annual Congress.

Compatriots : The Secretary of the District of Columbia Society has
the honor to submit herewith his report on the progress and activities
of the Society during the past year, together with a few suggestions
looking to the promotion of the objects of the National Society.

At the twenty-sixth Annual Congress at Portland, Oregon, this So-
ciety was represented by Mr. William A. De Caindry, chairman of the
delegation, and Col. George A. Armes, Lieut. Col. C. E. Dentler, Col.
James Jackson, Mr. Zebina Moses, and Mr. J. McDonald Stewart.

The Society was represented on the Board of Trustees of the National
Society during the year by Rear Admiral Colby M. Chester, U. S. N.
(retired).

PROCEEDINGS OF" NEWARK CONGRESS. 139

The Society year, commencing with November and ending with April,
includes monthly meetings for the transaction of business and the pres-
entation of addresses on historical topics. The meetings are held at
Rauscher's, the place of many social functions of Washington society.
Good music, both vocal and instrumental, is a feature of the meetings.
A buffet supper is served at the close of the exercises, affording an
opportunity for intimate fraternal intercourse.

During the year seven regular meetings were held and two joint cele-
brations in co-operation with the Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion and the Sons of the Revolution in the District of Columbia, and
the Society participated in and has been represented at a number of other
patriotic gatherings. President Chester attended and took a prominent
part in several celebrations of a patriotic nature.

The Board of Management held eight meetings for the transaction
of business.

The joint public celebration of the Fourth of July, 1915, by the Sons
of the Revolution in the District of Columbia and this Society was held
at the base of the Washington Monument in the forenoon of July 5.
Ambassador Jusserand, of France, occupied a seat on the platform.
The exercises were distinctively those of an "Americanization Day."
The joint committee, through the courtesy of the officials of the Immi-
gration Bureau, Department of Labor, extended special invitations to all
recently naturalized American citizens resident in the District of Colum-
bia. In the light of what was transpiring across the sea, the entire
setting could not fail to impress those present. The program was m
the nature of a welcome to these new American citizens, tendered by
the natives, whose immigrant forefathers had established free govern-
ment on these shores to those who had come later to enjoy its bless-
ings. The principal speaker was the Hon. Henry B. F. Macfarland,
one-time Commissioner of the District of Columbia. The decorations
were elaborate. Forty-eight American flags, representing the family of
States making up our great country, flew from standards erected in a
circle around the monument. The music for the occasion was fur-
nished by the full Marine Band under its leader. Lieut. William H.
Santelmann.

At the regular meeting on November 16, iqt.S, an invitation extended
by the Sons of the Revolution in the District of Columbia to join in
offering a gold medal to the school child in the District of Columbia
submitting the best essay on a previously designated topic pertaining
to the Revolutionary War was accepted and a committee was appointed
to co-operate with a like committee from the Sons of the Revolution.

After Commander John H. Moore had made a full report of the
joint celebration of the Fourth of July, TQ15, at the base of the Wash-
ington Monument, which assumed the form of Americanization Day,
the following resolutions were adopted :

Whereas numerous schools and classes have been formed for the
purpose of preparing the alien for citizenship:

Whereas there is no accepted standard of instructions, each school or
class working independently ;

Whereas the preparation of the alien for citizenship comes under the
Bureau of Naturalization of the Department of Labor : Therefore be it

Resolved. That the Department of Labor be urgently requested to
prepare, publish, and distribute at as early a date as possible a manual
on citizenship for the benefit of the would-be citizen.

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be sent to the President of
the United States, to the Honorable Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and to the Secretary of the Department of Labor.

140 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. '

President Chester offered a resolution pledging the sympathy and
support of the members of the Distriet of Columbia Society to the
policy of the government as represented in the statement of the Presi-
dent of the United States, "We feel justified in preparing ourselves to
vindicate our rights to independent and unmolested action by making
the force that is within us ready for assertion." President Chester
spoke convincingly and at length in support of his resolution and it
was adopted unanimously.

This Society desires at this time to pay tribute to the memory of one
removed from our midst by death shortly after his return from the
Annual Congress at Portland, Oregon, last summer. Mr. William A.
De Caindry was one of the most active and zealous members of our
Society. He took a prominent part in the work of the Society from its
organization, in 1880, and served it faithfully and well. He was deeply
interested in all that pertained to the welfare of the Society at large
and the patriotic work which it is accomplishing. The memorial
adopted at this meeting was a sincere tribute to the memory of our
Vice-President and expression of the loss felt by the Society in his
death.

At the December meeting Compatriot Charles W. Stewrart, librarian
of the Navy Department, delivered an illustrated lecture on "The His-
tory of the Flag." jr

On December 17 the Society was the guest of the Daughters of the
American Revolution at Continental Memorial Hall, to witness the
photoplay "The Battle Cry of Peace." Admiral Chester was one of
the speakers during the intermission,

The January meeting has for so many years been devoted to the enter-
tainment of the ladies that the term "Ladies' Night" is a fitting designa-
tion for the occasion. On January 19, between 8 and 8:30 o'clock p. m.,
an informal reception was held in one of the parlors adjoining the
large hall at Rauscher's. The receiving party was composed of Presi-
dent Chester and Mrs. Chester, several of the past-Presidents of the
Society and the Hon. Simeon D. Fess and wife. The program of the
evening was a varied and interesting one. Admiral Chester in his words
of welcome made an ardent appeal for preparedness. The President
General of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Mrs. William
Cumming Story, made a brief but interesting address. Hon. Simeon
D. Fess, representative in Congress from Ohio, addressed the Society
on the subject "The Significance of the American Revolution." Invita-
tions had been sent to the national officers of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, the local officers of the Sons of the Revolution in
the District of Columbia, and other patriotic organizations in the city,
and the appreciation of the recipients was shown by a large attendance
of special guests.

The "Nominating Meeting" of February 2 was devoted entirely to
the nomination of officers for the ensuing year and delegates to the
twenty-seventh Annual Congress.

In co-operation with the National Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution and the Sons of the Revolution in the District of
Columbia, the Society celebrated the 184th anniversary of the birth of
George Washington by appropriate public exercises at Memorial Con-
tinental Hall in the forenoon of February 22. The societies conducting
the celebration were especially honored on the occasion by the presence
of the President of the United States, members of the Cabinet, the
French Ambassador and Madame Jusserand, others of the diplomatic
corps, and many other distinguished guests. Music was rendered by the
Lmited States Marine Band. A feature of the musical program was
the rendition for the first time of "America First," a new march dedi-
cated by its composer, John Philip Sousa, to the three societies under

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 141

whose auspices the meeting was held. Addresses were delivered by the
presiding officer, Mr. James Mortimer Montgomery, General President
of the Sons of the Revolution, Mrs. William Gumming Story, President
General of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and Mr. Hamp-
son Gary. The principal speaker of the day was the Hon. William C.
Fitts, of' the Department of Justice. The gold medal offered jointly by
the Sons of the Revolution in the District of Columbia and the District
of Columbia Society of the Sons of the American Revolution for the
best essay on "The Campaign Against Quebec under General Richard
Montgomery, 1775," was handed to the successful competitor, Miss Ira
M. Lawrence, of the Eastern High School, by the President of the
United States. The object of the contest was to engender a more gen-
eral interest among the youth in the study of history of the American
Revolution as an inspiration to patriotism.

The annual business meeting began at noon on February 22. The
annual reports of the treasurer, registrar, historian, and librarian
showed the Society to be in a flourishing condition from every point of
view, and giving encouragement for greater results in the future. Com-
mander John H. Moore, as chairman of the joint committee having in
charge the celebration in commemoration of the 184th anniversary of
the birth of George Washington, made a full report to the Society on
that successful affair. After luncheon the report of the tellers was
made, announcing the officers elected for the ensuing year and dele-
gates elected to the Annual Congress.

At the March meeting our newly elected President, Philip F. Larnerr
presided and introduced Compatriot Claude N. Bennett, who addressed
the Society, taking as his theme "Personal Observations on National
Administrations."

On the evening of March 18 the members of the Society were the
guests of the Daughters of the American Revolution at an illustrated
lecture on the location and preservation of the boundary stones of the
District of Columbia.

The officers. Board of Management, and ex-Presidents of the Society
gave a banquet at the Army and Navy Club Tuesday evening, April
18, in honor of President General Newell B. Woodworth. It was at
this family gathering that the project was proposed of having the
Annual Congress take steps looking to the requirement that the young-
men of the country, as they come of age, take the oath of allegiance
to the United States as a prerequisite to their registration as voters.

The meeting of April 19 being the anniversary of the battle of Lex-
ington, Col. Frederick C. Bryan was called upon and recited impressively
Emerson's "Concord Hymn." President General Newell B. Wood-
worth was the guest of the Society and made the address of the even-
ing, taking as his theme "Idealism as a Defensive Force." Compatriot
George H. Moses, of Concord, New Hampshire, former U. S. Minister
to Greece, made a short but stirring address.

The following suggestions which I think will tend to the promotion of
the objects of the National Society are the result of careful considera-
tion :

1st. It is suggested that in place of the present method of adding new
members to our rolls a comprehensive and systematic campaign for
new members throughout the country be inaugurated by the National
Society as a means of stimulating patriotism in native Americans, to
the end that aliens coming to our shores may see our good work and

ceased members, and innumerable other forms should be standardized
and furnished from one source, thereby saving to the State Societies,
to a considerable extent, the very large expense incident to present
methods.

3d. The official rosette of the Society should be manufactured in
America instead of in a foreign country, as at present.

4th. A definite and systematic program of work, not only from year
to year, but projected into the future, should be mapped out and sub-
mitted to each State Society for active, vigorous^ and aggressive prose-
cution to a successful issue. Inspired and stimulated thus by the
National Society, the results would be certain, great, and far-reaching.

5th. A vigorous and intelligent campaign of publicity regarding the
aims, purposes, and objects of the Society could be worked out by the
National Society and recommended to the State Societies.

With greeting from the District of Columbia Society to the com-
patriots assembled at the twenty-seventh Annual Congress of the Sons
of the American Revolution at Newark, New Jersey, I beg to submit
the foregoing report and recommendations.

Respectfully, John B. TorbErt, Secretary.

The Florida Society tendered a dinner to former President General
Thruston on his visit to Pensacola, where on March 30, 1916, he deliv-

At the annual meeting, on April 19, officers were elected and plans
discussed for active work toward the Society's growth and usefulness.

SOCIETY IN FRANCE.

The Society in France is not now an active organization as such,
but its members, as also members of State Societies resident in Paris,
preserve the memoty of the patriots of the American Revolution.

On the morning of February 22, 1916, a wreath was placed at the foot
of Washington's statue, in Place d'lena, by H. Cleveland Coxe, Deputy
Consul General in Paris, on behalf of the Empire State Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution.

In the evening upward of 100 Americans dined with a number of
distinguished Frenchmen and their guests in observance of the day.
The French government was represented by Baron Denys Cochin,
member of the Cabinet without portfolio, and who is known as the
"great citizen of Paris." The Foreign Office was represented by Count
Peretta de la Rocca, former secretary of the French embassy at Wash-
ington. Among the others in attendance were Gen. Pierre Cherfils,
Paul Le Roy-Beaulieu, member of the institute: Joseph Reinach, mem-
ber of the Chamber of Deputies ; Jean Cruppi, M. Bonet-Maury, and
M. Henri-Roberts, jurists; Jean Finot, director of La Revue, and
Frantz Jourdain, the architect.

Laurence V. Benet, a member of the District of Columbia Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution and president of the American
Chamber of Commerce in Paris, who presided, referred to the love

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 143

-and sympathy of the American people for the people of France as not
a mere hazy "tradition, but as real, ardent, and profound.

M. Benet proposed the single toast of the evening, which was to the
memorv of Washington and his companions in arms, to France and
to America, to the President of the French Republic, and to the Presi-
dent of the United States.

Baron Cochin, in responding to the toast, referred to the warm and
unbroken friendship that has existed between the United States and
France since the founding of the American Republic.

William G. Sharp, the American Ambassador, in his address on
Washington, referred to some phases of the French press. He desired,
he said, to voice his genuine satisfaction for the spirit of fairness and
^broad-mindedness that the French press had shown to the government
of the United States, as well as to its people, at a time when such an
attitude was to be appreciated."

Henri Bergson, member of the Academy, in a speech, said he found
in the personality of Washington the incarnation of the soul of America,
.as Joan of Arc was the incarnation of the soul of France.

The Hawaiian Society held its annual meeting at the University
Club, Honolulu, on June 17, 1915, celebrating the twentieth anniversary
of its organization.

The exercises following the business meeting included the presenta-
tion of a 14-foot United States flag to the Federal court, with response
"by Judge Sanford B. Dole ; addresses by ex-Governor George R. Carter,
"Twenty Years Ago," and by Judge Sidney M. Ballon on "Armament
in Relation to War." The flag is intended specially for use during the
•ceremony of naturalization. It was formally unfurled in the court-
room on July 3 in the presence of judges, attorneys, and other citizens.
Addresses were made by Judge Dole, Judge Clemons, and President
Barnes.

On August 31 Compatriot George W. Guthrie, U. S. Ambassador to
Japan, was the guest at a dinner given in his honor by the "Sons" and
the "Daughters" of the American Revolution and the Pan-Pacific Club.
President Barnes was toastmaster. Addresses were made by H. Arita,
Japanese acting consul general ; by Ambassador Guthrie, Horatio T.
Newell, Dr. E. H. Hanna, and several others. The chief topics of the
speakers were the relations between Japan and the United States, the
-progress being made toward the naturalization of Japanese in the
Hawaiian Islands.

TheSons of the American Revolution and the Y. M. C. A. are co-
operating to establish at Honolulu an educational bureau for all for-
eigners^ seeking citizenship in the United States. A campaign of edu-
cation is to be instituted soon, employing moving pictures and special
instructors to carry to all who seek it a better knowledge of American
ideals, methods, history, and citizenship.

On November 6 the Society took action toward the promotion of a
plan to stimulate the study of the rights and duties of citizenship among
;young folk of high-school age. The Society has decided, with the

144 sons of the; American revolution.

Daughters of the American Revolution co-operating, to offer a series,
of prizes for essays on a subject connected with citizenship.

This matter of instructing new citizens and citizens of alien descent,
in the ideals of American citizenship has long been recognized as a
problem of increasing importance.

It has weighed heavily on the minds of the Sons and Daughters, and
all over the country campaigns for the instruction of naturalized citi-
zens and citizens of alien parentage have been started by these two
patriotic societies. Last winter we received a letter from President
General Thruston urging us to embark on this important work. We
met and decided to take it up.

The Sons of the American Revolution and the Aloha Chapter of the
Daughters commemorated the anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrim
Fathers by holding a Forefathers' Day dinner at the University Club,
Honolulu, on December 21, 1915. President S. D. Barnes presided as
toastmaster. Addresses were delivered on "Colonial Wars," by Prof.
William Alanson Bryan ; "Beginnings of the United States Army," by
Capt. Paul B. Malone, U. S. A. ; "Applied Patriotism," by James Austin
Wilder, and "Forefathers in Hawaii, II," by Hon. Sanford B. Dole.

On February 22 the Society participated in a patriotic mass meeting
at the Opera House, President Barnes presiding. Announcement was
made of winners in the prize essay contest, and eight successful contest-
ants received their trophies and diplomas. The contest was on the gen-
eral subject "The True American Citizen," and it was an interesting
detail that only two or three of the winners were white, the others
being either Hawaiian, Chinese, or Japanese boys and girls.

The year's work of the Illinois Society has been characterized by
steady activity and a reasonably good growth. One hundred and eleven
new members were voted in during the year, making the membership
in good standing April i, 1,053. -All of the usual meetings and cele-
brations have been held, with a large attendance and addresses of
historical and patriotic interest. Lexington Day and Yorktown Day
were observed with banquets, having an attendance of nearly 300 each.
On Illinois Day, December 3, occurred the annual meeting, while the quar-
terly meetings in January and March were the most largely attended
gatherings in the history of the Society. Flag Day was observed by
attendance at a special patriotic service in Central Church. The Society
arranged a suitable celebration of Washington's Birthday at the statue
of the General in Washington Park, Chicago.

The Society maintains a library and office, open daily throughout the
year. Two local chapters in the State have held interesting gatherings
and have co-operated helpfully in the general patriotic activities of their
communities.

Thorough preparation has been made for the organization of The
Washington Guard and the first meeting held.

The Society has arranged for the National Society pamphlets for the
benefit of immigrants to be used by the Chicago Board of Education,
the Young Men's Christian Association, and some of the social settle-
ments of the city.

We have no special recommendations to offer for the promotion of
the objects of the National Society, unless it be to renew recommenda-
tions previously made, particularly the one referring to the great benefit
to accrue from the employment of a Field Secretary to devote his entire
time to traveling throughout the nation organizing and stimulating
State Societies and forming local Chapters.

The Kentucky Society held a Flag Day celebration on June 14, 1915,
when President General Thruston delivered his address on "The Origin
and Evolution of the Flag."

Naturalization Day was observed on Sunday, July 4, at the Girls'
High School Building, where an audience of about 2,000 assembled and
listened to several addresses. A large flag was unfurled by President
General Thruston. Naturalized citizens and their families present num-
bered about 1,000. The meeting was arranged by a committee ap-
pointed by the Mayor, in co-operation with the Sons of the American
Revolution.

The annual business meeting and banquet was held at the Pendennis
Club, Louisville, on October 20.

Mr. John Barrett Hundley, the retiring President, reviewed the work
of the Society during the year and reported on the Annual Congress of
the National Society at Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco.

President General Woodworth was the guest of honor at the ban-
quet. In his address he urged the continued support of the Kentucky
Society in the movement to secure national legislation for a suitable
building for preserving records relating to the history of the nation.
He advocated improvement in the conditions surrounding the natural-

ization of aliens and spoke in favor of a closer observation of the
Society's flag laws. Erection of monuments to commemorate Revo-
lutionary events was a work in which members of the Kentucky Society
should throw all energy.

Miss Ethel De Long described the settlement work in the Kentucky
mountains, and showed that the people of the mountains are descend-
ants of the men who fought in the Revolution. She vividly pictured
life in the Kentucky mountains, and told of the work being done by
the Pine Mountain Settlement schools in educating the youth of Harlan
County.

The Liberty Bell was enthusiastically received by the people of Louis-
ville on November 22, most of the 30,000 school children of the city
paying patriotic homage to that precious relic. The Kentucky Society
of Sons of the American Revolution distributed several thousand copies
of an 8-page leaflet, prepared by Compatriot R. C. Ballard Thruston,
relating the history of the Bell, particularly in connection with the
Declaration of Independence.

At its regular meeting at Louisville, on January 17, 1916, the Society
adopted the following resolution :

Whereas the present deplorable condition of the original manuscript
sources of the nation's history, both as regards their safety and their
accessibility, demands that these records be better cared for in the
future,

Be it resolved by the Kentucky Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution, That we urge that the Congress of the United States erect,
as soon as practicable, a suitable National Archives Building in Wash-
ington, in which our valuable governmental records may be placed for
preservation and consultation.

Be it further resolved, That a copy of this resolution be sent to each
Kentucky member of the House of Representatives, as well as to the
two Senators from Kentucky, and that a copy also be sent to the
Speaker of the House of Representatives.

On the evening of February 22, at St. Mark's Church, Louisville, by
invitation of the Vestry and the Young Men's Club, the Society cele-
brated Washington's Birthday by special service, conducted by Past
Chaplains Very Rev. Charles Ewell Craik, D. D., Rev. William Warren
Landrum, D. D., and Rev. Richard Lightburne McCready, Chaplain
General of the National Society. An address on "George Rogers
Clark" was delivered by Rev. Frank Morehead Thomas, D. D., Chap-
lain of the Society, in which he reviewed the wonderful military
achievements of George Rogers Clark, "the Hero of the West." An
abstract of the address was published in the March Official Bulletin.

the ceremonies the famous painting of the "Spirit of '76" was repre-
sented by I. J. Fowler, Thomas Dimitry Norvell, and Rene de Touches
Des Forges.

Early in April, 1916, former President General Thruston spent some
time in New Orleans and conferred with officers of the Society about
its patriotic work. He delivered nis address on "The United States
Flag" at the Tulane University; also at the State University at Baton

The only gathering of the State Society during the year is the annual
meeting. The twenty- fifth meeting and banquet was held at the Con-
gress Square Hotel, Portland, on February 22, 1916, attended by about
100 members.

It was voted to indorse the movement to have built in Washington
a place to permanently and safely house the national archives, which
are at present scattered about in various unsafe and inconvenient
places. This was left to the Board of Managers to properly prepare
and forward to the members of Congress.

The matter of giving some form of practical aid to the Knox
Memorial at Thomaston was also referred to the Board of Managers.

The retiring President, Philip F. Turner, presided at the banquet.
Adj. Gen. George McL. Presson of Farmington took for his topic "Na-
tional Defense," calling particular attention to the necessity of a trained
citizenry, not so much to make a war of aggression, but to hold them-
selves in readiness for any necessary means of defense. Francis L.
Littlefield described "A Local Incident of Unpreparedness," a story of
the events leading to the bombardment and burning of the town of
Falmouth by Mowat, October 19, 1775. Hon. Wainwright Cushing,
President-elect, of Foxcroft, gave an account of his ancestors, reading a
number of curious old documents having to do with the family history.
President Turner read a letter from the present President General, Mr.
Woodworth.

The Maryland Society has appointed a committee to secure the
co-operation of all patriotic societies, fraternal and business organiza-

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. I49

tions in the city and State for a more dignified use of our national
anthem — the Star Spangled Banner. Over fifty organizations sent
delegates to a meeting held at the Belvedere Hotel on December o.
At this meeting a copy of a bill to be introduced in the city council
was read. The action was unanimously endorsed and the committee
empowered to proceed and to notify the National Society, recommend-
ing that similar action be taken by other State Societies.

The Society celebrated Washington's Birthday at the Hotel Belve-
dere, Baltimore, with an attendance of over 200 members and their
wives and other guests. President Lawrason Riggs presided, and the
meeting opened by an invocation by the Chaplain, Rev. Henry Branch.
Hon. George R. Gaither spoke on "Washington, the Soldier;" the Hon.
Henry Stockbridge spoke on "Washington, the Statesman," closing his
remarks with some original verses on peace and preparedness. Osborne
I. Yellott, Esq., delivered an address on "Washington, the Man."

The Society honored the memory of Gen. Mordecai Gist, a distin-
guished Revolutionary hero from Maryland, by the erection of a monu-
ment over his grave in Charleston, S. C. The monument was unveiled
on Saturday, November 6, 191 5, in the churchyard adjoining St.
Michael's P. E. Church. The party from the Maryland Society con-
sisted of Mr. Alfred D. Bernard, chairman of the committee in charge
of the erection of the memorial ; Mr. Edward F. Arthurs, Registrar,
and Mr. John H. Orem, Jr. The unveiling took place at 12 o'clock
noon and the churchyard was crowded with spectators. The U. S.
Coast Artillery Band from Fort Moultrie was in attendance playing
national airs. The Maryland representatives were escorted to the un-
veiling by the rector, Rev. John Kershaw, D. D., President W. G. Har-
vey of the South Carolina Sons of the Revolution, and the vestry of the
church. The exercises opened with an invocation by Dr. Kershaw.
Mr. Bernard delivered the address presenting the memorial to the
vestry of the church and the city of Charleston. At the close of iris
remarks Mr. Orem raised the flag from the memorial to the top of the
staff planted near the grave and Mr. Arthurs placed on the memorial
a large bunch of chrysanthemums — a tribute of the Maryland Society —
and a wreath bearing the words "Lest we forget," from the Mordecai
Gist Chapter of the D. A. R. in Maryland, was presented by Miss
Waters from Baltimore, a descendant of General Gist. Mr. Connor,
on behalf of St. Michael's Church and of the citizens of Charleston,
accepted the memorial with a few remarks.

The memorial is the work of the sculptor, Edward Berge of Balti-
more, and consists of a flat slab of Stony Creek granite, grayish pink
in color. Upon the top, which is oval, a wreath of oak leaves, as a
symbol of strength, made of bronze, with the emblem of the Society
at the ribbon fastening the branches composing the wreath, is securely
placed, and the name of General Gist is cut into the stone, with the
following inscription, the letters being faced with gold, lending elegance
and utility :

"22nd February, 1742. 2nd August, 1792.

To the memory of Gen. Mordecai Gist.

While in command of the First Maryland Battalion he so valiantly
covered the retreat of the American Forces at the Battle of Long
Island, August, 1776, that his troops became known as 'The Bayonets
of the Revolution.'

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 1 51

Compatriots: The Secretary of the Michigan Society respectfully
submits herewith his annual report on the progress of this Society
during the preceding year.

The Society was represented at the 26th Annual Congress at Port-
land, Oregon, in July, 1915, by its President, Albert M. Henry;
William M. Finck, James H. Hall, and Howard A. Starrett, all of
Detroit. Our Society has been represented during the year on the
Board of Trustees of the National Society by our President, Albert M.
Henry, who was further honored by being reappointed a member of
the Executive Committee of the National Society for the current year.

During the year the organization of a local Chapter at Kalamazoo
was completed and a charter granted. There are also local Chapters
at Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Mt. Pleasant. Interest throughout the
State has greatly increased. New members have been admitted from
Muskegon, Mt. Clemens, and Cheboygan; eighteen new members have
been added to the Detroit Chapter, eleven to the Grand Rapids
Chapter, seven to Kalamazoo Chapter, and one to Ann Arbor, and one
to Mt. Pleasant.

The membership by Chapters is as follows :

Detroit Chapter 238

Kent Chapter, Grand Rapids 5°

Washtenaw Chapter, Ann Arbor 20

Kalamazoo Chapter 12

Mt. Pleasant Chapter n

Members residing in Detroit who are not affiliated with the local

Chapter 35

Members residing in Michigan outside of the jurisdiction of local

Chapters 58

Members in other States 26

making a total membership April 1, 1916, of 450 members.

During the year the Society has interested itself in formulating a plan
for illustrated lectures throughout the State promoting Americaniza-
tion. Prof. Warren W. Florer, President of the Washtenaw Chapter,
obtained a set of stereopticon slides prepared- by George R. Swain
illustrating scenes from the American Revolution. These he has ex-
hibited throughout the State in connection with the lecture on "The
Formation of the Republic from the Various European Elements."
These lectures were given in the schools and in foreign settlements, and
have been received with great interest among those of foreign birth, as
well as our native sons. This lecture was listed in the University
Extension Service and was also obtained by private arrangement.

The field organizer of the Americanization Day Committee was fur-
nished by the undersigned Secretary with the names of the members of
this Society in the Michigan cities visited by him, and was introduced
to the Mayor's office and the newspapers of the city of Detroit. The
compaign thus begun resulted in a most successful celebration of Amer-
icanization Day on the Fourth of July in Detroit, Kalamazoo, and else-
where, under committees among whose members the Sons of the Amer-
ican Revolution were prominent. President Albert M. Henry being on
the Detroit committee, and Compatriot Edward C. Parsons being Presi-
dent of the Kalamazoo committee.

The education of aliens, so long advocated by this Society, has been
taken up in earnest by the Board of Commerce and the municipality of
the City of Detroit, and an appropriation has been made for the com-
ing year by the Common Council and the Board of Estimates of the
City of Detroit of the sum of $96,700 for maintenance of night schools
for the coming year. Compatriots Charles L. Clark and Raymond E.

152 SONS OF THE) AMERICAN REVOLUTION.'

Van Syckle, members of the Board of Estimates, actively participated
in the procuring of the allowance of this sum for this purpose.

A recent addition to the membership of this Society and that of
the Detroit Chapter is Milton Bentley Purdy, an actual son of the
Revolutionary soldier Jeremiah Purdy, who enlisted in Newburgh,
N. Y., in 1777, in Capt. John Shepherd's Company, Col. J. Bald-
win's Artillery Artificers, and served three years. The soldier was
born on the 29th day of June, 1761, and died in Hamilton, N. Y., on
the 16th day of June, 1842. His son Milton B. Purdy was born
August 28, 1839, the twelfth member of a family of thirteen children.

The New Jersey Society completed on March 31 another year of
activity with a membership gain of 207 in new members, or an in-
crease of 52 greater than our gain in new members last year.

Our membership roll on March 31, 1915, was 914, and our mem-
bership roll on March 31, 1916, is 1,100.

The New Jersey Society has adopted the policy of carrying on its
activities largely through its Chapters, now eight in number, a new
Chapter, Passaic Valley Chapter, having been formed during the last
year. Passaic Valley Chapter started with a charter list of 42 mem-

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 1 57

bers, to which many new names have since been added. The mem-
bership of the eight Chapters stood as follows on March 31st: Kliz-
abethtown, 70; Orange, 175; Montclair, 190; Newark, 90; Monmouth,
70; Paramus, 45; Morris County, 30; Passaic Valley, 60.

The question of making the naturalization of new citizens more
impressive was referred to the several Chapters and has been actively
taken up by each. At Freehold, Judge Rulif V. Lawrence, after admin-
istering the oath to new citizens, presented each one with an Amer-
ican flag. The judges of other courts have agreed to do their utmost
to meet the suggestions of our Chapters, and we are expecting to
secure a more impressive ceremony in all of our courts in the near
future.

Elizabethtown Chapter participated in a reception to newly natural-
ized citizens, which was held in connection with the local Fourth of
July celebration.

In order to stimulate Chapter activity in increasing membership, our
State Board offered to that Chapter securing the largest number of
new members for the State Society who also joined the Chapter a
gold insignia, the insignia offered being won by Montclair Chapter,
which made a gain of 21.

A reception was tendered President General Newell B. Woodworth
by the State Society on the evening of November 29, at the Down Town
Club, Newark, N. J. During the evening a number of short addresses
were made. Mr. Woodworth alluded to his residence in East Orange
twenty-seven years ago and claimed partial right to the title of Jersey-
man. One of the menaces of the country today, he said, was racial
influence upon community life. He declared all else save that having
the spirit of Americanism should be eradicated, and that foreign cus-
toms and speech have no place in our national life. Mr. Woodworth
spoke of the Liberty Bell's travel across New York State from Buffalo
to Albany, when crowds stood with bared heads and in respectful
silence as the patriotic monitor of other days arrived at various cities,
and of the cheers and exuberance of spirit, giving evidence of venera-
tion for associations of the past. Others who spoke were Hon. Cor-
nelius A. Pugsley, of Peekskill, N. Y. ; Gen. Edward S. Greeley, of New
Haven, Conn.; Judge Morris B. Beardsley, of Bridgeport, Conn.; Dr.
Moses Greeley Parker, of Lowell, Mass., and Hon. Franklin Murphy,
of New Jersey, all former Presidents General ; Chancellor L. Jenks, of
Evanston. 111., President of the Illinois Society; Albert M. Henry, of
Detroit, President of the Michigan Society, and Elmer M. Wentworth,
of Des Moines, also members of the National Executive Committee.
Secretary and Registrar General A. Howard Clark was also one of
the guests.

The various Chapters were also requested to hold annually a church
service in commemoration of some Revolutionary event, and the plan
has been followed by all with great success.

All of the Chapters have taken part in the local celebration of Flag
Day and of the Fourth of July, in several cases taking charge of the
celebration.

Our State Society was also represented at the National Conference
on Immigration and Americanization, held at Philadelphia, Pennsyl-
vania.

The annual meeting of the Society was held1 in the rooms of the
New Jersey Historical Society, Newark, on January 8, 1916, and was
preceded by a luncheon for members and guests and a reception to
the retiring officers. The reports of the officers and committees showed
great activity throughout the year and the largest increase in mem-
bership in the Society's history. The following resolutions were re-
ported by the Committee on Resolutions — Messrs. John L. Merrill, J.

158 SONS OL THL AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Lawrence Boggs, and W. I. Lincoln Adams, and were unanimously
adopted :

Whereas the Constitution of the Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution sets forth that it has been instituted for the purpose, among
others, to inspire among the members and their descendants the patri-
otic spirit of their forefathers, and to inculcate in the community in
general sentiments of nationality and respect for the principles for
which the patriots of the Revolution contended; and

Whereas it has become apparent that in this country there has not
been made that preparation for possible war which George Washington
urged as the best protection of our peace, and this country is not pre-
pared either to defend itself against possible aggression or to fulfill the
duties and responsibilities it. has assumed; and

Whereas we should be unworthy of our traditions and recreant to
our own duties as citizens of this Republic should we fail to do our
share towards safeguarding our heritage : Therefore be it

Resolved, That the New Jersey Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution in annual meeting assembled unequivocally advocates imme-
diate steps by legislation and by appropriate executive action to provide
proper and suitable measures of military preparedness ; and it com-
mends to each member as a patriotic personal duty that he give his
individual influence and efforts to further these objects. Be it further

Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolution be
printed in the proceedings of this meeting, to be sent to each member
of the Society ; and further

Resolved, That the Board of Managers be requested to take appro-
priate steps to transmit this resolution to each New Jersey member of
Congress and the President, leaving it to them to say what is appropriate.

Whereas the present condition of the original manuscript sources of
our national history, both in regard to their safety and accessibility, is
deplorable ; and

Whereas it is vitally important that these manuscripts should be safe-
guarded against destruction and should be so arranged that they can
be accessible and easily examined : Therefore be it

Resolved, By the New Jersey Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution, in annual meeting assembled, that we earnestly petition the
Congress of the United States to take steps without further delay to
provide for the erection of a National Archive Building for the housing
of these invaluable records ; and further

Resolved, That the Board of Managers be requested to take appro-
priate steps to transmit this resolution to Congress and to the President.

Whereas the Sons of the American Revolution is not a secret

organization ; and

Whereas there are no mystic signs, grips, nor passwords : Be it
Resolved, That the members of the New Jersey Society, Sons of the

American Revolution, shall greet all persons wearing the insignia of

the Society with a military salute.

On February to Orange Chapter gave a reception to the local Chap-
ters of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Daughters
of the Revolution, which proved to be a most brilliant social event.
Interesting original papers were read by guests of the evening on
"Women in the Revolution."

Our officers have been called upon many tirnes during the year to be
present at patriotic gatherings of other Societies, as well as at many
Chapter meetings, all of our Chapters having held frequent meetings
during the year, proving pleasant social occasions.

In conclusion we desire to call the attention of the Congress to the

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 1 59

fact that in 1925 will occur the 150th anniversary of the beginning of
the Revolution, and suggest that steps be taken in connection with
other patriotic Societies to celebrate in that year and the years fol-
lowing all of the events of importance connected with the struggle for
independence. We believe that such a celebration, properly conducted,
would be of immense value and would be thoroughly in sympathy with
the purposes of our organization.

Respectfully submitted, Jno. R. Weeks, Secretary.

The New Mexico Society is planning various patriotic activities and
for the formation of Local Chapters as a means of increasing interest
in the organization. On September 13 sixteen members of the Society
met ex-President General Thruston and Secretary General Clark at
the railroad station at Albuquerque for a brief conference and greetings.

The Society held its annual meeting on February 22, 1916, at the
Alvarado Hotel, Albuquerque, immediately following the annual ban-
quet to members and: their wives. President Charles A. Eller presided.
Reports of the officers were presented andi ordered filed.

A resolution was adopted protesting to the New Mexico Board of
Education against the use in the public schools of a certain "Spanish
Reader, Book 2," containing an article entitled "A Comparison Between
Washington and Bolivar," written to the disparagement of George
Washington. The Board of Education, in accordance with this resolu-
tion, has since instructed the publishers to omit all portions of the
Reader obnoxious to the patriotic sense of the Sons of the American
Revolution.

President-elect R. E. Twitchell, on assuming the chair, spoke of the
activities open to the Sons of the American Revolution in this State,
and proposed that during the coming year the Society take up the task
of marking the Santa Fe-Chihuahua trail, following the plan which was
used in the marking of the old Santa Fe trail. Prior to taking the
chair, Compatriot Twitchell delivered an address on "Lew Wallace, the
Man and His Book," the lecture being illustrated by a number of lan-
tern slides made especially for this address. Former Governor L.
Bradford Prince was the honor guest of the Society and responded 10
a toast on patriotism. Compatriot George S. Klock spoke briefly on
the issue of preparedness. Prof. Roscoe R. Hill, of the University of
New Mexico, a guest of the Society, responded to the toast "Nation-
alism and Internationalism."

on the tomb of Lafayette, in Paris, on the Fourth of July. Com-
patriot Hanson Cleveland Coxe had charge of the ceremonies. Many
prominent people were present, both French and American. On the

of Washington in Paris. The Paris edition of the New York Herald
of February 23, 1916, had the following :

every American patriot feels for "The Father of his Country." Among
those present at the ceremony were : Mr. Alexander Thackara, Amer-
ican Consul-General; the staff of the American Embassy; M. Dupuy,

in honor of Gen. Nathanael Greene. The banner of the National Soci-
ety was displayed, in charge of Frederick D. Owen, of the District of
Columbia Society. President Arthur B. Clarke, of the Virginia Soci-
ety, delivered an address on "Light Horse Harry" Lee.

The Society held its annual meeting and banq'uet at Washington on
February 21, 1915.

After the business meeting a banquet was served. The hall was
draped in national flags and decorated in North Carolina pine. Dainty
little cherry trees were given as souvenirs.

The Ohio Society as a State organization usually meets only on
April 19, the local Chapters carrying out patriotic work and holding
regular meetings throughout the year. The Society is in a flourishing
condition and doing patriotic educational work along many lines among
our foreign population by distributing patriotic literature and encourag-
ing them to stand by our flag in these critical days.

The annual business meeting for 1916 was held at Cleveland on
May 6.

Resolutions were passed in favor of a National Archives Building
and following out the preparedness resolution adopted at the Portland
Congress in July last, and instructions were given that copies of these
resolutions be sent to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and
to the Ohio Senators and Representatives.

In the evening the annual banquet was held at the Hollenden Hotel.
Hon. James H. Hoyt presided as toastmaster. The program included :
Invocation, by Chaplain E. W. J. Lindesmith, U. S. A., retired ; wel-
come, by Edward L. Howe, President Western Reserve Society; re-
sponse, by C. C. Pavey, President Ohio Society; address, by Hon.
Newell B. Woodworth, President General, and address, "If Wash-
ington were President," by Dr. William F. Peirce.

Mr. Woodworth reviewed the work of the National Society and of
the State Societies in their various patriotic activities. Dr. Peirce
delivered a carefully prepared address, in which he told of Washing-
ton's attitude toward the momentous problems of his day, quoting from
letters and documents of great interest at this time.

The Western Reserve Society, of Cleveland, held its annual meeting
on February 22, at the Cleveland Athletic Club.

A resolution was unanimously adopted approving the efforts of the
President and Congress "to protect our country from foreign invasion
and our flag and all it stands for from insult and ignominy." The
Society also adopted a resolution authorizing several of its members

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 1 63

to use their efforts in having Congress pass a law that the government
supply American flags for Federal court-rooms, offices of Federal clerk
of court, and Federal naturalization offices. Other patriotic societies
will be asked to support this movement.

On January 20 and February 18 the Society held citizenship recep-
tions for newly naturalized aliens, in co-operation with the Federal
Court the first time and the Common Pleas Court of the county the
second time. At the first reception 185 aliens received their citizenship
papers, at the second over 300. The spirit of the new citizens was
excellent and the addresses of the speakers impressive. Interest 111
these receptions is growing and we feel that they are a valuable ad-
junct in promoting a patriotic spirit in the city. The exercises at these
receptions included music, addresses by the President of the Society
and the Presiding Judges, presentation of citizenship certificates, and
pledge of allegiance, the audience also standing and repeating the pledge
in unison.

With a view to increased membership, the Society has issued a blank
calling for the names, dates of birth, and present addresses of eligible
brothers, sons, and cousins of present members.

President General Woodworth visited Cleveland on January 7, when
he was entertained at luncheon by the officers and managers of the
Western Reserve Society. The Society has published the anniversary
sermon on ''The Foundations of Patriotism," delivered by Mattoon
Monroe Curtis, M. A., Ph. D., at the annual ceremonial of "trooping of
the colors," held at Trinity Cathedral, commemorating Washington
crossing the Delaware, December 25, 1776.

The Benjamin Franklin Chapter joined with the Daughters of the
American Revolution in celebrating Washington's Birthday at Colum-
bus. A banquet was held at the Elks' new home, with an attendance
of about two hundred. There were twelve tables, representing the
twelve calendar months of the year, decorated to correspond with the
month represented. Each table was presided over by a hostess member
of the D. A. R., and seated at the table were members and guests born
in the month designated, with a speaker at each table. Some of the
speakers referred to distinguished persons born in the month, or to
great battles and other historical events occurring in the month. Fre-
quent references were made to our "national honor and preparedness."

The Anthony Wayne Chapter held a banquet at the Toledo Club on
January 6. in honor of President General Newell B. Woodworth. Dr.
William A. Dickey, President of the Chapter, presided as toastmaster
and in his introductory speech strongly declared himself for prepared-
ness and against the "hyphenated" policy.

Mr. Woodworth also took his stand for preparedness. "If we are to
acquire peace, it must be known we are prepared for war. Treaties of
arbitration are only enforceable when backed by power. Otherwise
they are only scraps of paper," was one of the statements that met with
hearty approval.

J. Kent Hamilton, who was the next speaker, declared himself for
preparedness.

The meeting adopted a statement, prepared by Gen. J. Kent Hamilton,
George E. Pomeroy, Dudley Watson Moor, Horace N. Allen, and W. J.
Allen, a committee appointed for the purpose, pledging the hearty sup-
port of the Sons of the American Revolution and the people of Toledo
in the efforts being made by the President and Congress "to place our
land in a condition of defense commensurate with the vast interests
that seem endangered."

The Oregon Society gave a "smoker" on Thursday, June 17, 191 5,
in celebration of the 140th Anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill.
There were eighty or ninety present, and it was one of the largest
gatherings that the Society has ever held. Compatriot Winthrop
Hammond, who had made a most careful study of the battle, read a
paper, illustrated with some maps, showing the geography of the
vicinity. On a call from the chairman for those descended from
Bunker Hill veterans to rise, five compatriots stood up.

In connection with the visit of the Liberty Bell to Portland the fol-
lowing Guard of Honor was named : Louis G. Clarke, Gen. Thomas M.
Anderson, Gen. Charles F. Beebe, Col. H. C. Cabell, and Mr. C. H.
Thompson. The Society circulated a leaflet setting forth a few facts
with reference to Liberty Bell, while the bell was in Portland, Salem,
Eugene, and Roseburg

The entertainment of the National Congress in Portland in July
was a great event heartily enjoyed by the Oregon Society. A con-
siderable sum was left over from the fund raised for this purpose
and a large majority of the contributors consented that it be used in
patriotic work. The Society decided to present to each court of gen-
eral jurisdiction throughout the State a handsome silk flag, with the
request that it be used in naturalization proceedings. It is desired
that the flag be held by the bailiff in front of the candidate for
naturalization as he takes his oath of allegiance, and that the court
then instruct him that his first loyalty in the future is due to this
flag. Accounts of several of these presentations have been given
in the Official Bulletin of the National Society.

On September 8 the Society had a meeting and "smoker" in celebra-
tion of the 134th Anniversary of the Battle of Eutaw Springs. Com-
patriot E. D. Baldwin read a paper on "Greene, Morgan, Marion, and
the Recovery of South Carolina." The gun presented to the Annual
Congress by Samuel Marion Conway was present at the meeting and

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. 165

was taken away by Compatriot II. B. Augur for exhibition during the
next few weeks at the Jefferson High School. The aftermath of the
Congress was discussed at the meeting and much interest was mani-
fested in the work of Americanizing foreigners. A committee was
aopointed, consisting of Gen. Chas. F. Beebe and Compatriots R. T.
Piatt and Joel H. Miner, for the purpose of making plans whereby
the Society can assist in this work. It is proposed to co-operate with
the public schools and with other institutions in giving instruction
which will be useful to aliens and new citizens. The Society has also
undertaken the intelligent distribution of the pamphlets prepared by
the National Society for this purpose.

At the annual meeting at Portland on February 22, officers were re-
elected for another year. An appropriation of $100 was made for the
purchase of books bearing on history of the Revolutionary period, for
circulation under the direction of the State Library. The Board of
Managers was authorized to offer prizes to school children for essays
on subjects connected with Revolutionary history. A resolution was
passed continuing in office for another year the Committee on Amer-
icanization, consisting of Compatriots Gen. Chas. F. Beebe, Robert
Treat Piatt, and J. Harold Miner. The scope of this committee's
work was enlarged to include education along patriotic and his-
torical lines of children, both of aliens and native-born inhabitants.

The annual banquet, held at the University Club, was attended by 79
members and guests. President Wallace McCamant presided as toast-
master. Addresses were made on "Washington and Present-Day Prob-
lems," by Mr. Kenneth S. Latourette ; "Some Observations on An-
cestry," by Mr. Hugh Montgomery, and "Washington — the Man of
Principle," by Rev. Henry Marcotte, D. D.

Secretary B. A. Thaxter read the poem on "Rhoda Farrand," pre-
pared for use at one of the meetings of the New Jersey Society.
Telegrams of greeting were exchanged with the Washington, Idaho,
and Utah Societies.

Patriotic work of the Oregon and other societies has been greatly
stimulated by the meeting of the Annual Congress on the Pacific coast.

The Society gave a dinner at the Hotel Marion, Salem, on April 19, in
celebration of the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Con-
cord. Compatriot Winthrop Hammond presided. Sixty-seven covers
were laid. The speakers were Hon. Theodore E. Burton, ex-Senator
from Ohio ; Gov. James Withycombe, Judge William Galloway, H. O.
White, Mayor of Salem, and President Wallace McCamant. The
paper of the evening was read before the dinner by F. S. Gannett, prin-
cipal of the Junior High School at Salem. The dinner was preliminary
to the organization of a Chapter at Salem, the second Chapter in the
State.

Professor Gannett dealt with the social and economic causes of the
Revolution and the various acts of shortsightedness of the English
government which finally brought the American colonies into rebellion,
although at first they had no thought of separation from the mother
country.

On June 5 the Society celebrated the 25th anniversary of its organiza-
tion with a dinner and reception to Gen. Thomas M. Anderson, U. S. A.
President McCamant gave a sketch of the life and public service of
General Anderson and Judge Williams. Greetings were received by
telegraph from President General Wentworth.

Flag Day, June 14, 19x5, was observed in Pittsburgh by a very
unusual display of flags throughout the city and numerous demonstra-
tions of a patriotic character in the schools and parks. On the parade
ground of the Eighteenth Regiment of the National Guard of Penn-
sylvania the exercises were under the auspices of the Pennsylvania
Society Sons of the American Revolution. President Thomas Stephen
Brown presided, and addresses were made by Gen. Willis J. Hulings,
Rev. J. M. Robinson, of Ovoca, Ireland; Chancellor S. B. McCormick,
of the University of Pittsburgh, and J. Boyd Duff, Vice-President of
the State Society.

On July 3 there was unveiled at Ligonier a large bronze tablet,
erected by the Pennsylvania Society near the site of Fort Ligonier.
There was a large attendance of members of the Society and citizens
at the dedication exercises, which were presided over by President
Thomas Stephen Brown. The inscription records that:

Here General Forbes, with the aid of Colonels George Washington,
Henry Boquet, and John Armstrong, assembled an army of 7,850 men,
constructed the Forbes road, marched against Fort Duquesne, and com-
pelled the evacuation of the fort November 25, 1758, thereby overthrow-
ing the French and establishing English supremacy in this region.

Here Henry Boquet reorganized the expedition for the relief of Fort
Pitt, and while on the road, at a point 27 miles west of this, fought the
battle of Bushy Run on August 5 and 6, 1763, defeating the Indians
under Chief Guyasuta in "one of the best-contested actions ever fought
between white men and Indians."

Rev. Dr. W. E. Howard, Chaplain of the Society, offered prayer,
after which President Brown spoke on the aims of the Society. Col.
Edward E. Robbins, of Greensburg, delivered the oration of the day and
formally dedicated the memorial.

Ross W. Griffith, burgess of Ligonier, accepted the tablet in behalf
of the borough, while C. M. McClune, clerk of Borough Council, ac-
cepted it in behalf of the school district.

The Pennsylvania Society held its annual business meeting at the
Chamber of Commerce, Pittsburgh, on the afternoon of February 22,
1916.

At the annual banquet at McCreery's banquet hall, Congressman
Henry_ W. Temple delivered an address on "Washington and Penn-
sylvania," relating the experiences of Washington in Pennsylvania,
starting with his first trip up the Ohio Valley for the Ohio Company,
until he was elected President of the United States.

Dr. Snyder spoke on "High Spots in Democracy," which he said
were universal male suffrage and public schools.

The New Castle Chapter entertained President General Woodworth
at its banquet on January 7, which was attended by President Thomas
Stephen Brown of the State Society and Col. R. W. Guthrie of Pitts-
burgh.

The Shenango Chapter. No. 5, at Sharon. Pa., was granted a charter
on February 10 on petition of ten members resident in Mercer Countv.

The Philippine Society held its annual banquet and meeting at the
Army and Navy Club, on the Luneta, Manila, at 8.30 p. m., on Satur-
day, October 23, 1915. Lieut. Col. Ernest Hinds was the honor guest
Prof. Austin Craig delivered an address on "The Influence of America
in the Orient."

The Society celebrated Washington's Birthday, in company with the
Daughters of the American Revolution, at Cafiacoa, when about 60
members and guests enjoyed a dinner, presided over by Mrs. Elser,
Regent of the Philippine Chapter of the "Daughters," and President
Frank Lee Strong of the "Sons."

President Strong acted as master of ceremonies. Miss Mary Helen
Fee made the introductory address for the Daughters in eulogy of the
hero of the day. Dr. Louis S. Snow, of the university, spoke of the
dreams of the early patriots as reaching only to the Mississippi River,,
and of the great territory of the United States today. Professor
Craig talked of the tendency to magnify heroes so as to make an at-
tempt to emulate them almost impossible, and that we should remem-
ber they were only men, though men of great deeds. Judge Newton
W. Gilbert made an address on the subject of American patriotism and
of the duty of all Sons and Daughters to instruct their countrymen as
to preparedness for war, though that did not necessarily mean war, but
was essential to national respect as opposed to pusillanimous peace.
President Strong closed with many references to the influence of women
in inciting the male population to fight — in fact, they were the real
cause of most wars — and now he considered it most fitting that the
women of the country advocate the securing of necessary armament
and men to fight, if need there be.

In proportion to the population of the State, the Utah Society is one
of the most active societies in the United States.

The Utah Society has communicated to its Representatives and Sen-
ators in Congress a request for consideration of the importance of the
establishment and erection of a National Archives Building, in which
may be preserved and protected such Revolutionary and other docu-
ments as may prove to be the wisdom of Congress to have placed in
such a building.

The annual banquet was held at the Hotel Utah, Salt Lake City,
January 26, with an attendance of about 125 members and guests, in-
cluding lady guests.

The Society has issued the State Register and Year Book of the
Society for 1916, containing an account of the work in Utah since 1895,
with an illustration of the Memorial Tablet to the heroes of the Amer-
ican Revolution, erected by the Society in the State Capitol; register of
members and their ancestors and a roll of members deceased.

The Society commemorated Paul Revere's Ride on the evening of

The Virginia Society was represented at the dedication of the Gen,
Nathanael Greene statue at Guilford Court-House, N. C, on July 3, by
President Arthur B. Clarke, who, at the request of Governor Stuart,
represented Virginia at the ceremonies and delivered an address on
"Light Horse Harry" Lee.

The Society met at the Westmoreland Club, Richmond, on the even-
ing of February 22 for its annual business meeting and banquet, with
an attendance of about 40 members. All the officers were re-elected
for another year. In his annual report President Arthur B. Clarke
recommended the more thorough teaching of American history in the
schools, made a strong appeal for "preparedness," and completed his
report by saying that 25 new members have been enrolled during the
past year.

Capt. John A. Coke presented the report of the Board of Visitors to
Mount Vernon in 1901, and which is a complete history of Mount Ver-
non. Following was an address by Senator C. O'Conor Goolrick, of
Fredericksburg, on the work of George Mason and on national pre-
paredness. Addresses were made by Col. R. McBullington and Dr.
George Ross.

Col. Jennings C. Wise spoke on "Preparedness," and resolutions were
adopted and ordered sent to our Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress, indorsing the policy of reasonable preparedness. Resolutions
were also passed calling on the Virginia legislature to provide fire-proof
repositories for the colonial and other historical records.

Compatriots : As delegate at large from the Washington State Soci-
ety, I have the honor to submit the following report :

We have had a large gain in membership, with twenty-five applica-
tions pending for a new Chapter at Olympia, the capital of Washington,
with thirty members. This includes among its honored charter mem-
bers three judges of the Supreme Court, the Secretary of State, the
State Librarian, the Superintendent of Public Schools, besides many
other men of great prominence.

The Society appropriated $150 toward the expense of marking the
old Oregon trail, believing that this was a worthy donation toward a
good cause.

Gold prizes were given to the winners in the oratorical contests, and
the most of the subjects of the orations were of the patriotic order
and of a very high grade.

When the Liberty Bell came to Seattle the people turned out in
great numbers and the reception was creditable to the Washingtonians.
Thousands of people who had never seen the honored relic were won-
derfully interested. Compatriot Rev. Carter Helm Jones, D. D., made
the principal address in the City Hall Park to a vast assemblage.

When a number of your delegates were on their way in 1915 to the
Congress at Portland, Oregon, they paid our city of Seattle and Chap-
ter a friendly visit. We were exceedingly glad of their coming.
They seemed to enjoy the sight of our great mountains covered with

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. IJl

eternal snow, our splendid deep-water bays, on which they rode with
comfort, our charming- climate and our evergreen State.

We had but one note of regret — that they could not have remained
longer and were far too few in numbers.

Then we had the privilege at the banquet of nominating the President
of the coming National Congress at Portland — Newell B. Woodworth —
and he was duly elected.

We had our full quota of delegates at the National Congress at
Portland, and the hospitality of that city and the marked cordiality
of individual citizens showed their appreciation of the distinguished
guests from near and far.

We have the opinion that the scenic auto ride up the Columbia
River for some miles and then down on the boat will not soon be
forgotten by those who saw^ some of our Western attractions for the
first time. The Oregon Society of the Sons of the American Revolu-
tion did nobly in their cordiality and showing the attractions, and we,
all our Out West compatriots, shouted with one voice, "Come again" !

In closing we are glad to remind you that five Chapters are in process
of organization — Bellingham, Chehalis, Everett, Mount ^ Vernon, and
Walla Walla. Each of these Chapters will be of great importance to
our organization.

It must be remembered that our population is not dense like that of
the Eastern seaboard, but still is very sparse and scattered over wide
reaches of territory. We want a million more inhabitants for the
coming year and as many more each year till our vast territory is
inhabited. We have the broad acres, the great timber industry, the
finest and largest supply of fish in the world, vast coal, gold, iron, and
marble deposits, all in waiting for your coming.

If you want to enjoy a matchless climate, the beauty of an ever-green
landscape, the clearest and best water on the globe, a city (Seattle)
with the lowest death rate known, then come west.

The resolutions adopted by the National Society at the Portland
meeting regarding preparedness and the erection of a National Archives
Building in Washington were presented, the Society adopting such
resolutions, sending a copy to each of their representatives in Con-
gress, as requested by our President General.

More interest than usual was evident, and indications point to a
much-needed increase in membership during the ensuing year.

The Society has co-operated with the State in the work of placing
permanent markers at historic points and monuments have been erected
dv private individuals as well.

The difficulties involved in pushing the work of the Society in a
State devoid of any city of considerable size cannot be appreciated by
any one who has not made the attempt. However, we are keeping at
it. and hope to make our work of some potential value in the State.

INVITATIONS FOR 1917 CONGRESS.

The Chairman : An opportunity will now be given to receive invita-
tions for the next Congress.

Mr. Boardman (Tennessee) : Mr. President General and Compa-
triots, in behalf of the Tennessee Society I desire to present to the Na-
tional Society an invitation to hold the 1917 Congress at Nashville. I
shall not undertake to tell you of the beauties and attractions of my
State, because that would be impossible ; but we have a good city ; we
have a hospitable people, and if our invitation is accepted I assure you
that we will have a good time. Our invitation is prompted by a rather
selfish reason, or selfish reasons, rather, because we know that if you
come to Nashville we will have a great deal of enjoyment from your
visit ; but beyond that, some of us in the Southern part of the country
have been working very hard for several years to build up the member-
ship of our Society and we have had very uphill work. In my opinion,
the principal reason that we have not gained in membership, as we had
hoped we would, was due to the fact that our people in the South are
not familiar with the personnel of our Society and do not understand
for what it stands. We have skeleton Societies in every State south of
Tennessee, with the exception of one; but they are skeletons; there is
no life in them, and we have come to the conclusion that the only way
that those Societies can be rejuvenated is for the National Congress to
come to the South, somewhere near the other States, where delegates
can easily reach the Congress, and we are very sure that if we can get
them to Nashville and meet you gentlemen, so that they will see the
personnel of the Society, and learn from the Congress what the Society
stands for, we will have no trouble in getting all the members that we
want, because we have the material there.

Mr. Adams: Mr. President General, speaking for the New Jersey
delegation, I want to say that we have enjoyed this Congress here in
Newark so much that we wish you might come here next year and;
every year (laughter and applause) ; but we feel that it would be a good
thing for the Society to change its location each vear, and we think the

reasons which the gentleman has just advanced are very good ones for
going farther South and farther inland next year, and New Jersey,
through its State's President, wants to indorse the suggestion which
has been made by the gentleman from Tennessee and to favor going to
Nashville for our Congress next year.

Major Tee-bets (Alabama) : Representing one of the Southern skele-
ton States and for some years Chairman of the Organization Commit-
tee, I had the honor of organizing the Alabama Society, and I also did
considerable work in Georgia, one of the States which is not organized,
and I will state that if this Convention will choose Nashville I can
almost guarantee that we will have a Society in Georgia by that time.
I know something about Georgia, and I want to second the motion of
the gentleman from Tennessee, that the Congress meet at Nashville in
1917.

Colonel Vrooman (New York) : I favor Nashville for this particular
reason : I had occasion during the past three or four winters to visit
some of the Southern States. I have met there my Confederate breth-
ren, and I want to say to you, compatriots, that the Confederates love
the Stars and Stripes today as much as we do. (Applause.) As one
who fought for the Stars and Stripes, I want to go down if I live. I
want the Empire State Society, and I now plead with you, to elect me
a delegate to go down to Nashville and hobnob with my Confederate
brethren. (Applause.)

Mr. Thruston (Kentucky) : Most of you present heard me a couple
of nights ago deliver my flag address. I have recently been down to
Florida and Louisiana, and while there I delivered the flag address on
ten different occasions; I delivered it at Pensacola, Baton Rouge, and
New Orleans, and one of the places in New Orleans where I delivered
it was at the Confederate Home. Of course, in that section when I
showed the Confederate flags, naturally they applauded; they loved
them; they had fought under them; but when I showed the Federal
flag the applause was even greater than it was for the Confederate flag,
and T am certain you will find throughout that whole section loyal, true
American citizens, and in going to Tennessee I merely want to tell you
that I am a next-door neighbor to Tennessee. I love them; they are the
same kind of people as the Kentuckians are; they have got Blue Grass
land there and mint groweth profusely. (Laughter and applause.)

Mr. Button (Washington) : Speaking for the entire Pacific coast, I
wish to indorse Tennessee. We have experienced what it means to
bring the National Congress to the Pacific coast. You have inspired
us. The States of Washington, Oregon, and California have grown,
due to your Congress, your attendance, your presence, and I know, while
we are not a skeleton State by any means, it has helped us greatly and
we indorse Tennessee.

The Secretary General : The Vice-President General from Tennes-
see has handed me a very cordial letter written by the Governor of the
State of Tennessee, urging us to come there; also one from the Mayor

174 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

of the city of Nashville, equally cordial, and one from the President of
the Commercial Club of Nashville, assuring a pleasant and profitable
visit.

Executive Chamber,
Nashville, Tenn., May 13, 1916.
To the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution in
Congress Assembled, Newark, N. J.
Gentlemen : I have been informed that the Tennessee Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution will invite the National Society to
hold its 1917 Congress in Nashville. I am very much interested in hav-
ing this invitation accepted, if it is possible for your organization to
accept it, as I realize that the coming of so distinguished a body as
your delegates would be, to Nashville, would be a very great honor to
our city and to Tennessee.

I know thatif you do come to Nashville the Tennessee Society will
entertain you in a fitting manner, and such that will make your trip a
pleasant one.

Furthermore, the objects for which your Society stands are very
worthy ones, and I am sure that if you do come to Nashville your pur-
poses will be furthered very materially in this section of the country.
Verv respectfullv,

Tom C. Rye,

Governor.

City of Nashville,
Mayor's Office, May 13, 1916.
To the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution in
Congress Assembled, Newark, N. J.:
I am informed that Mr. W. K. Boardman, of this city, representing
the Tennessee Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, will
invite your body to hold your 1917 Congress in Nashville. As Mayor
of the city and speaking for its citizens, I hope that you will be able to
accept the invitation extended to you by the Tennessee Society, as a
visit to our city by such a distinguished body of men as that which
makes up your organization cannot help but benefit us, and I am sure
that such a visit would be a very pleasant one for you.

We are very much interested in the objects for which your Society
stands, and I am confident that if your Congress meets in Nashville it
will result in very materially advancing the interests of your organiza-
tion.

Very sincerely yours,

Robert Ewing, Mayor.

May 9, 1916.
To the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution in
Congress Assembled, Newark, N. J.:
Mr. W. K. Boardman, of Nashville, and a member of our organiza-
tion, will, we understand, present to you an invitation to hold your
1917 Congress at Nashville.

Speaking for our fifteen hundred members, we hope that you will be
able to accept Mr. Boardman's invitation, as we deeply appreciate the
honor that your acceptance will confer upon Nashville.

We can assure you a most cordial welcome and a pleasant and profit-
able visit.

We are familiar with the purpose of your Society, and believe that
your coming to Nashville will result in a great addition to your strength
and influence in the Southern States.

PROCEEDINGS OE NEWARK CONGRESS. 1 75

The Chairman : This invitation from the South, so proverbial for
its hospitality, will be referred to the Board of Trustees, who under
the Constitution have the power to act on all invitations. Are there
any other invitations for the 1917 Congress?

INVITATION TO MASSACHUSETTS IN 1920.

Mr. Woodward: Last year the State of Massachusetts, at the Oregon
Congress, invited the National Society to meet in Massachusetts in
1920, on the three hundredth anniversary of the Landing of the Pil-
grims. We wish to renew that invitation to this Congress, so that they
may have in mind that, wherever you may go in the intervening years,
you must come to Massachusetts in 1920. (Applause.)

The Chairman : The invitation of Massachusetts will be received and
placed upon our records. Is there any further new business before
the Congress? If not, next in order is the election of officers, and
nomination for officers will be in order.

NOMINATIONS FOR PRESIDENT GENERAL.

Mr. Austin (Illinois) : Mr. President General and Compatriots,
when a man from Chicago is permitted to associate with the polished
representatives of an older and higher civilization (laughter), there is
nothing so becoming to that man as humility and quiet. This is a
proposition in deportment which I think is universally acknowledged
everywhere east of the Allegheny Mountains. If I appear to disregard
it today, it is not because I deny it, but simply because of the exigency
of the occasion. If a poor orator tries to make a speech, he is some-
times successful if he has a good subject, and if ever a man had a
good subject for a speech, I have such a subject today. I want to
present for the office of President General of this association a son of
Illinois, a native son of Illinois, who is the unanimous choice of the
Illinois Society. The Illinois delegates at this convention are his faith-
ful followers. In one way I might be called his particular follower,
"because I have followed him through the Illinois Society way up to
the top. Years ago, when he was the Second Vice-President, I was a
private in the ranks. Wlien he became First Vice-President, I became
Second Vice-President, and last December, when he laid down the
Presidential gavel, I got as close as I could to catch the bride's bouquet
and the Elijah mantle fell on me. (Laughter.) I might say, my
friends, that I am not ambitious to go higher; this might seem as if I
was attaching my cart to a star (laughter), but that is not the case.
(A Member: Why not?) Oh no. it will be honor enough for all the
members of the Illinois delegation if, when they go back to the Sucker
State, they can carry with them the President General. My friends,
what do we need in the office of President General of this Society? I
think we will acknowledge that two qualifications are necessary. The
first qualification is that he shall be a man among men. The second

1/6 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

qualification is that he shall have the interests of this Society at heart.
Take up the hrst. I do not mean by saying that he shall be a man
among men that, as to character, he shall be a man who, for instance,,
will not steal sheep, or that, as to his qualifications of social attain-
ment, he shall be a man who will not swallow his knife at the table or
tuck his napkin in his collar. I mean more than that. In the first
place, as regards character, we do not need to discuss that ; no mam
would come before this body for the office of President General unless
he were a man of perfect character ; but we want a man who makes-
friends, who is popular. I happen to live in a neighboring suburb of
Chicago to the gentleman I am nominating and I know something
about conditions there. He recently ran for member of the school
board. There was no opposition. At school elections in Illinois we
generally cast 25, 50, or 100 votes, but he was so popular that in hi&
town he got 800 votes — no opposition at all. That speaks for itself.
Another thing I know about him that he doesn't think I know, for it
so happens that my stenographer formerly worked in his office, and I
thus learn that a few years ago he was the chairman of the building
committee to erect his church, and not only did he give all kinds of
time to it, but I am confidentially informed that he practically erected
the church himself. Now, then, it speaks for itself when a man is-
interested in a subject, and it is a good subject, and his pocket-book is
free. I know that gentleman ; I have seen him, and I know that he is
a public-spirited man, open for all good causes. Now, then, he has-
another qualification — he is a college-educated man. That is the way
I came to know him. I did not go to the same college, but you know
there is such a thing as college fraternities, and it so happens that he
is. at the present time, the National President of the Dartmouth College
Alumni, in addition to being President of the University Club in his
town. That is enough on that topic.

He is a gentleman of leisure and a lover of the fine arts; a fine-
tenor singer and instrumentalist; and as to singing in the male quar-
tet— that is incidental — I have heard him sing, too. But T will tell you
something that is not incidental. In my circle of acquaintance I don't
know a man who is more thoroughly competent for this particular
position, and, furthermore, he has got the means and the time and the
leisure to devote himself exclusively and whole-heartedly as President
of this organization. Now, I want to call your attention to that word
leisure. By that I don't mean the kind of leisure that some men have.
Oh, no; he has been an active business man up to a few years ago,
when he said he retired. As a matter of fact, we know what it means
when an active business man retires. He retires from money-making,
but does something else; he would never be satisfied to do nothing. If
this gentleman can be given the honor of the Presidency of this asso-
ciation, I know that he will put his ability into the work of the asso-
ciation. And lastly, about him T want to say one more thing, and that
is this: that we know in Chicago from experience that if we want any-
thing done and give it to him, it is done; he accomplishes the results;

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. J 77

and, gentlemen, that is more important than anything else I have said —
when we want a thing well done he 'does it. Now, then, let me say a
word ahout his interest in this association. I think we will all ac-
knowledge, we who heard the report yesterday of the various commit-
tees, 1 think we will all acknowledge that the report of the Committee
on Americanization and Aliens stood in a class entirely by itself. I
think that the gentleman who presented that report — I think it is not
derogatory to any of the other reports when I make that statement —
T think the gentleman who presented that report showed by the report
that he had given a careful study to the subject, that he had given
ability to the subject, and that he could not have gotten up a report like
that unless he was interested in the subject. Maybe some of you did
not hear that report. If you did not, I would advise you to read it
when it comes out in the Year Book. If you read that report, I believe
you will say that on that particular point he has demonstrated his
interest in this work. But now what else has he done? He has visited
various Chapters of the Society from time to time ; he has attended
the last five Congresses of this Society ; he was a banquet speaker at
Portland last year, and when the San Francisco authorities gave us an
S. A. R. Day he was the speaker of the occasion there. But what I
want to say about him in particular is this : I want to speak of his
interest in the S. A. R., and vve know him in Chicago by what he has
done for the Illinois Society. Perhaps you heard in the statistics yes-
terday that Illinois stood third or fourth in new membership. We do
not claim that we stood with New Jersey — that's impossible — but we
have never taken in so many members before as we took in during his
Presidency and we have never been so prosperous. What he has done
in Illinois, he can do for this Society on a greater scale. Trust a man
in small things, and if he does them well he will do greater things well;
and let me say this one thing in closing — that I candidly believe he will
reflect as great credit upon the Society as any man you could possibly
select. I believe it will be as much good for the Society to select him
as it will be a great honor for him if he receives the Presidency. It is
my great pleasure, gentlemen, to put in nomination for President Gen-
eral of this great Society Chancellor L. Jenks, of Illinois. (Applause.)
Commander Moork : The District of Columbia Society desires the
great honor of seconding the nomination of Mr. Jenks, of Illinois.
During the past year I have had the honor to serve under Mr. Jenks
and I know thoroughly his capacity for work for this Society. I know
of no work that will compare with the work he has done in the past
year in the Americanization of the alien. He is thoroughly up in that
work, so that we can have a continuity of it during the coming year.
Judging from our reports and from the work done yesterday, it seems
to me that that is the livest subject for our Society to handle, and I
think that we will do well to continue with that work, and in doing
that we want to elect Mr. Jenks. I hope that every one present will
pass his vote for Mr. Jenks. (Applause.)

I78 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

A Member : I have known Chancellor Livingston Jenks longer than
any man in this room. I have known him thirty-seven years, and while
I would not attempt to add one word to the brilliant nominating speech
made by the gentleman from the Sucker State, I would say that he left
out the most important element of character that this man possesses,
what we need in our Society — he is the craziest enthusiast in the world
for anything that interests him, and you know and I know that in all
these little mutual admiration societies enthusiasm is a valuable asset.

A Member: In behalf of the Missouri Society, it will be a great
pleasure to indorse the nomination of Chancellor L. Jenks.

Rev. Dr. Kirbye (Iowa) : Mr. President General and Compatriots,
for the first time the voice of the Sons of the American Revolution
west of the Mississippi River is heard in a request for the highest office
within the gift of our noble Society.

It is not inappropriate that this voice come from Iowa, one of the
most prominent Western Commonwealths. We do not, of course, have
the hallowed ground nor the sacred shrines of the East or South, but
we do have the spirit of our fathers and mothers enshrined in no less
than nine district organizations is as many cities and with a membership
reflecting honor upon our traditions and ideals.

We do have a Commonwealth that is yet young and in the process
of making and palpitant with energy and faring forth with high hope
and swift step. We do have a beautiful land of open and starlit skies,
of opalescent clouds, of heat and cold, sunshine and rain, which vivifies
our splendid soil and makes it respond to the wants of man. We do
have a land of limitless prairies, with rolling hills and fertile valleys,
with winding and widening streams, with bounteous crops and fruit-
laden trees, yielding to man their wealth and health. We do have a
Commonwealth rich in her men and her women of power and might,
and whose authors, educators, statesmen, and ministers are making an
intellectual and moral contribution which is a part of the mainstay of
the Republic — true in the hour of danger and steadfast in the hour of
triumph. The voice of the Sons of the American Revolution in Iowa
asks your hearing.

At the annual meeting of the Society, on the anniversary of the Battle
of Lexington, the following resolution was enthusiastically and unani-
mously adopted : "The Iowa Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution, in annual meeting assembled, present to the National Con-
gress of the Sons of the American Revolution the name of Compatriot
Elmer Marston Wentworth for President General. In doing this we
recognize the splendid fitness of Compatriot Wentworth for this hon-
orable position and his many years of devotion to the interests of the
Society. He has conspicuously served as President of the Iowa Society
and for many years has been a trustee and member of the Executive
Committee of the National Society. His patriotism, his earnestness
and zeal in the things of the Society, and his years of service have-
been of such a character that we believe they should be recognized by
his advancement to this high position, and we therefore earnestly re-

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. I79

quest other State Societies to unite with us in this eminently worthy
recognition of Compatriot Wentworth." Five Western States have
passed similar resolutions, and letters from many others, East and South,
have assured us that we will bestow honor where honor is due in the
election of Compatriot Wentworth to the office of President General.

The Iowa Sons of the American Revolution represent the meeting
place of the New Englander and the Southerner fused into a noble and
enduring unity. Some of us as children heard the tales of Kings Moun-
tain, or Marion's Men, and Yorktown. Others listened to the tales of
Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill, and are proud that New Eng-
land had her men and women who were unafraid. I come from the
former influence. The earliest memories of my life have to do with a
negro mammy and the stories of my mother of the Battle of Kings
Mountain. Compatriot Wentworth comes from the State of Maine,
which, like her New England sisters, has always been one of the rock-
ribbed bearers of the nation's honor in the hours of peril. Iowa, there-
fore, is an illustrious example of the true American spirit. In the mak-
ing of our life there has been fused the spirit of the Huguenot, the
Scotch Irish, and the Puritan. Our school system, our public squares,
and our landholding are all modeled after New England. The Con-
gregational meeting-house has been there from the beginning, and, in
addition to these, various forms of faith and life characteristic of the
South are also there. It is a splendid civilization which has been devel-
oped in the Mississippi Valley.

Nestled in the security of our achievements, we have not felt the
stress and strain of other sections, in the national crisis which we are
facing today. It has been felt in the East, and perhaps justly, that all
the people of the West have not been as keenly alert in the past months
to the grave problems which have faced us as a nation.

Whatever can be said of the pacifist influence in the West, in no sense
can this be related to Compatriot Wentworth. He was the author of
the resolutions in behalf of the national defense at the lest meeting of
the National Congress, in Portland, Oregon. He has consistently cham-
pioned the spirit of the new nationalism, and the traditions of the
fathers as to national honor will be safe in his keeping. There is a
difference in flags in his program of life. He is one of those who dares
to be counted.

We believe in international good-will. We have always stood for it,
and, please God, this nation will remain steadfast in the maintenance of
the ideal. We pray for the time when the war drums beat no longer
and the federation of man in the parliament of the world shall become
a reality. But that dream is useless unless you maintain a loyalty to
the democratic institutions and ideals which have .been handed down to
us and which have their symbol in the Stars and Stripes that wave over
us as a people.

There is a difference in flags. Our flag is a symbol of the heroisms
and achievements of the ideals of democracy, and the world can never

l80 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

be brought together in any other way. War will only cease when the
righteous aims of democracy are realized. We must stand by our flag.

"Here is the flag;
Hail it.

Who dares to drag
Or trail it?
Give it hurrahs —
Three for the stars,
Three for the bars.
Uncover your head to it,
The soldiers who tread to it.

"Shout at the sight of it,
The justice and right of it,
The unsullied white of it.
The blue and the red of it,
And tyranny's dread of it.
Here comes the flag;
Cheer it.

Valley and crag shall hear it,
Fathers shall bless it,
Children caress it,
All shall maintain it;
No one shall stain it.

"Cheers for the sailors who fight on the wave for it,
Cheers for the soldiers who were always brave for it,
Tears for the men who went down to the grave for it;
Here is your flag."

May it always remain for us the emblem of liberty, guaranteeing that
the rights of humanity shall not perish from the earth.

And in presenting the name of Compatriot Elmer Marston Went-
worth, of Iowa, for the office of President General, we bring a man who
will be true to the traditions of the Republic, which has a right to the
highest devotion of us all. Our candidate is big in body, brain, and
heart, and well able to maintain the traditions and add another glorious
chapter to the history of the Sons of the American Revolution in
America. Compatriots, I have the honor to represent the Iowa Society
and to present the name of our former President, Compatriot Elmer
Marston Wentworth, for President General.

Mr. Woodward (Massachusetts) : Mr. President General, as the rep-
resentative of the State of Massachusetts, I am seconding the nomina-
tion of Mr. Wentworth as a candidate of the office of President Gen-
eral. I cannot add to what my predecessor has just said, but I wish to
emphasize in what I have to say only the word "service." Short as are
the years, they are not short enough to enable us to give the blue sash
to all the members of this organization who are qualified to fill the
office ; but of those who are qualified and who can give the time and
the resources necessary to the proper filling of the office, I think that
length of service should be the first consideration, and there is no man
in this organization whose term of service in the training school is
longer than that of Mr. Wentworth. That is the policy we pursue in

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. l8r

the State of Massachusetts in the election of our officers, and it has
worked well, and I am sure that it works well in this greater Society.
There is, however, a reason personal to myself in which there is a
bond of sympathy between Mr. Wentworth and me which impels me
with greater pleasure to second his nomination. I received a letter a
few weeks ago from a maiden lady in Massachusetts, a descendant of
the Pilgrims, who lives almost within sight of Plymouth Rock, and,
looking over the country and seeing the diminishing size of American
families, I should say the vanishing American families, she wrote to
me as President of the Massachusetts Society to see if our Society
could not in some way get some legislation through by which all the
descendants of the Revolutionary soldiers might be exempt from mili-
tary duty in order that we might save the remnant of the old Puritan
stock. (Laughter and applause.) I wrote to her acknowledging her
letter, and saying that while I appreciated her point of view it was too
late to attempt any legislation, for the legislators have already gotten
beyond the control of American citizens of Puritan descent ; but I said
to her, "Personally I have done my duty in regard to perpetuating the
American citizens, for I have eight children" (laughter and applause) —
four boys and four girls. One of my boys is going to Plattsburg this
summer. Now, Mr. Wentworth has eight children (applause), and I
say to him, as I stretch my hand across the Mississippi River, that he
has done his duty in perpetuating the American citizen and maintaining
the ideas and thoughts that were in the minds of the founders of our
Republic when they fought for our liberty and independence. (Ap-
plause.)

Mr. Turner (Maine) : Mr. President General and Fellow-Compa-
triots, some years ago a resident of one of the fertile Western States
made his first visit to a, comparatively speaking, sterile part of the
farming region of Maine. As he was being shown around that section
by the lady of the family in which he was a guest, he rather slightingly
asked her, "What can you raise here?" "We raise men" was the reply
of the proud and loyal Maine mother. Some few have stayed; many
more have sought fame and established homes in the Middle and Far
West. A splendid product of one of those hilly, rocky farms is the gen-
tleman who has been nominated as your President General from Iowa,
Compatriot Wentworth, and, speaking logically and with pleasure as a
representative of the entire Maine delegation, it gives me great pleasure
to second for them the nomination of Compatriot Wentworth for your
President General. (Applause.)

Col. Penrose (Utah) : Mr. President General and Members, as the
representative of one of the Far Western States, it gives us, the entire
delegation from the State of Utah, great pleasure to second the nomi-
nation of Compatriot Wentworth. (Applause.)

Major Hyde (Maryland) : The Maryland delegation entertains the
highest regard for the name of Jenks. We have in our city a gentle-
man of that name, it may be of the same family, who is the Fresident

1 82 SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

of the Maryland League for National Defense, and tomorrow, through
his superhuman efforts and the efforts of other members of that League,
we will have on the streets of Baltimore a parade in the interests of
preparedness. The entire militia of the State will parade, and in addi-
tion to that two batteries of artillery, recently organized, and one troop
of cavalry, and while I feel that we would like to honor Mr. Jenks, we
also feel that our vote, that of Maryland, is due to our faithful com-
patriot, Mr. Wentworth. I have attended probably twelve of these Na-
tional conventions, and I have never failed to meet him and never
failed to see the label on the work that he has undertaken, and it is
with much pleasure that the Maryland delegation seconds the nomina-
tion of Mr. Wentworth, with the kindest feelings toward Mr. Jenks.

Colonel Guthrie : It gives me much pleasure, on behalf of the Penn-
sylvania delegation, to second the nomination of Mr. Wentworth. (Ap-
plause.)

Mr. Wood (Kentucky) : I have served with Mr. Wentworth on the
Executive Committee of this Society ; I have known him for many
years, and it gives me great pleasure to second his nomination.

Mr. Palmer (Minnesota) : It is with great pleasure that I have at-
tended the Annual Congress of our Society in the State of New Jersey,
for it was on the soil of New Jersey that my Revolutionary ancestors
lived and died. I heard County Judge McCutcheon yesterday speak and
he can hardly rival me in Dutch ancestry, for I will match Tappan and
Strahlenberg against Herkimer, and I now desire to pay a tribute to
Gen. William S. Stryker, who was so industrious at Trenton in digging
out the records, the old records of the Revolutionary War. It was
Horace Greeley who said, "Go West, young man," and I went. It was
my privilege to be one of the early organizers of the Minnesota Society.
The fathers, where are they; and the prophets, do they live forever?
I can remember those early organizers — old Judge Albert D. Hdgerton,
Gen. John B. Sanborn, well known to our friend, Mr. A. Howard
Clark ; Governor Lucius F. Hubbard, Senator Cushman K. Davis — and
now I regret to learn that Winfield Scott Hammond has followed, [t
was my privilege to be the State Registrar of the Society, and recognize
the fact that it is difficult in those Western States to make a record, in
the thirteen original States it is quite easy, but out there it is more diffi-
cult, and so I hope that this Congress today will recognize the fact that
it is quite necessary to have a Western man for the head of the organi-
zation if you expect effective work in working up the Society numer-
ically. One day I left Minnesota and went South. I do not like Iowa
quite as well as I do Jersey. I got stuck in a blizzard for four days in
a railroad prairie hotel. Still I do not hold any animosity on account
of my experience on this occasion, and it affords me great pleasure,
under instructions from my State of Minnesota, to second the nomina-
tion of Companion Wentworth as President General of this Society.

Mr. Henry (Michigan) : I desire to second the nomination of Mr.
Wentworth. I have been on the Executive Committee with Mr. Went-

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. I 83

worth for several years and with Mr. Jenks also, and were the other
man away I should be in favor of Mr. Jenks. But Mr. Wentworth said
something this morning that really makes me support him. He said
that we were the two biggest men in the Congress. ( Laughter and ap-
plause.) After that could I do anything else than second the nomina-
tion of Mr. Wentworth? (Applause.) But outside of that, during the
meetings of the Executive Committee, for years I have found him al-
ways on deck; always for the best interests of the Sons of the Amer-
ican Revolution; sharp and clear and decisive in what he says and what
he does. For these and for other reasons, I desire to second the nomi-
nation of Mr. Wentworth.

Mr. LEE (Connecticut) : Mr. President General and Compatriots, I
esteem it a great privilege to second the nomination of Mr. Wentworth
on behalf of the Connecticut delegation. As I have served on the Ex-
ecutive Committee with Compatriot Wentworth, I recognize his high
character, his ability, and his interest in this organization. Connecticut
has two or three men in training for this most honorable office, and we
came here to this convention with a candidate, and that candidate has
all of the qualities that have been attributed to our friend from Chicago.
He is one of the most popular men and one of the most influential in
the city of Hartford, in the State of Connecticut. He would not like
to have me mention his name here today, but I am going to ; he sits
before me — Dr. George C. F. Williams, of Hartford. I do feel, for the
interests of the Society, that we will withdraw ; we have agreed to with-
draw Mr. Williams's name in favor of Mr. Wentworth. (Applause.)

A Member: On behalf of the Oregon Society, I wish to second the
nomination of Mr. Wentworth.

(It was moved that the nominations close.)

Mr. Ames (New York) : Mr. President, I desire to voice the har-
monious feeling of the Empire State Society, and I know that this
voice finds echo in the heart of every compatriot from the North and
the South and the East and the West. This Congress has learned with
sincere regret that the retiring President General, Newell B. Wood-
worth, has declined to permit his name to be presented to the Congress
for re-election. The S. A. R. has been peculiarly fortunate in the
choice of its presiding officers since its organization. They have been
men of broad culture, fired with patriotism, alive to the spirit of the
times, and keen to perpetuate the great work of the founders of our
organization, and during the past year, at great personal sacrifice, Hon.
Newell B. Woodworth, of Syracuse, N. Y., has borne the burden of
his office, rendering distinguished service for the Society and to his
country and ever indefatigably working to extend its great sphere of
usefulness. Therefore, as a slight expression of our feelings to our
distinguished President General and compatriot,

Be it resolved, That the heart-felt thanks of the Twenty-seventh Con-
gress of the Sons of the American Revolution be. and they hereby are,
extended to the Hon. Newell B. Woodworth for the marked abilitv

shown by him and the fair and impartial manner in which he has dis-
charged the duties of his great office, and that we wish him many years
of health, happiness, and continued zeal for our common cause, so dear
to his heart; and, in the language of the great Washington, "may his
future years be as prosperous and happy as his former have been up-
right and honorable." (Applause.)

(Past President General Thruston takes the chair.)

The Chairman : Gentlemen and Compatriots, you have heard the
motion. As Mr. Woodworth's predecessor and as having been a mem-
ber of his Executive Committee, I know the work that he has done.
No one ever did truer or more .loyal work for the Society of the
S. A. R. than Mr. Woodworth has done. (Applause.)

(The motion was then adopted by a rising vote.)

The Chairman : It is unanimous. Mr. Woodworth, you have the
thanks of the entire S. A. R. and my congratulations for the success
of your administration.

(President General Woodworth resumes the chair.)

The Chairman : Compatriots, your action has stirred my heart from
the depths. I have endeavored, as I promised when accepting the obli-
gations of this office in Portland, to give the best that was in me to the
service which is dear to the hearts of all of us. I have been deeply
grateful for the opportunity of extending my field of work beyond
what it had been before, and this tribute which you have paid to me
this morning will always remain in my mind and in my heart as one of
the most grateful remembrances that I could ever receive in this life.
I thank you, gentlemen, thank you doubly, for the honor which you
have bestowed upon me. (Applause.)

Mr. Henry: I move you that the resolutions that have just been
read be engrossed and be presented to the President General.

(The motion was seconded and adopted, being put by the Secretary
General.)

The Chairman : Again, gentlemen, you have placed me in debt to
you. The Committee on Credentials regret that they are unable to
furnish a printed list, but that is not due to the fault of the committee,
but rather to their inability to secure prompt printing; but they desire
that it should be announced that there are in attendance accredited
members of this Congress to the number of 209, which makes it one of
the largest congresses in the history of our Society. (Applause.)

Mr. PugsIvKy: If there are no further nominations, I move that the
nominations for President General be now closed.

Mr. Dutton : In behalf of the Washington State Society, we have
realized, as has been stated here a number of times, that the most
important work of the National Society of the S. A. R. has been the
assimilation of our new-made citizens. Out on the Pacific coast, par-
ticularly in the Puget Sound country, we are now having an influx of
foreign immigration from the Oriental side — Japanese, Chinese, and
particularly Russians — so we have felt out there the influence of a man
who has devoted his time to this work; therefore, in behalf of the

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. I 85

Washington State Society, I desire to second the nomination of Chan-
cellor L. Jenks as President of the National Society. (Applause.)

Mr. MarbeE: On my own behalf and individually, alone, I wish to
indorse the nomination of Mr. Wentworth. It was during my adminis-
tration that he first came into great public notice. I appointed him on
the Executive Committee and he was an illustration of that quotation,
"a great Lochinvar has come out from the West ; through all the wide
waters, his patriotism was the best."

Mr. Ames : I wish to offer an amendment to the resolution that the
nominations close. I believe we are a democratic organization, and I
think that the motion is out of order in a democratic, patriotic organi-
zation. I offer this amendment, that now that the nominations are
made, we proceed to ballot. There are States that have placed no one
in nomination; there may be delegates who desire to vote for some one
who has not been nominated ; there may be occasion to nominate a
man later in the convention. Why put the bars up and say that no one
else can be nominated? Therefore I offer the amendment to the reso-
lution of our distinguished compatriot, Mr. Pugsley, as a substitute
amendment, and move that as the nominations have been made, we
proceed to ballot.

Mr. PugseEy : I merely moved that resolution in order to facilitate
the election of President General and will withdraw it.

The Chairman : Do you now make that motion, Mr. Ames, that we
now proceed to the election?

Mr. Ames : I make that motion.

(The motion was seconded and adopted.)

The Chairman : As there are two candidates in the field, it will be
necessary to appoint tellers. Do you desire to appoint the tellers from
the floor or shall the Chair appoint them?

(A number of members indicated their desire to have the Chair
appoint the tellers and this was accordingly done. Colonel Lauman,
Mr. Lee, Doctor Kirbye, and Judge Remington were so appointed.)

A Member: I know this is undemocratic, but I want to plead, on
behalf of New Jersey, that the oratory be cut down hereafter, so that
we may carry out our program. (Laughter and applause.)

Mr. Thruston : In order to facilitate matters, I suggest that while
this ballot is being taken nominations be in order for Vice-Presidents
General.

The Chairman: If there is no objection.

Mr. Thruston : Our Mother of States, Virginia, has for a number
of years been without a representative on our National organization,
and I desire to place in nomination for Vice-President General the
name of Mr. Frederick E. Emerson, of Virginia.

A Member : I rise for information. A good many of our delegates
are inquiring whether the delegations from the various States may
vote as a unit, as some of them have had a caucus and are ready to
vote their entire delegation.

l86 SONS OF THE: AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

The Chairman : The Chair would consider that each individual
under the procedure would be obliged to cast an individual vote.
(Applause.) The Chair would announce that only delegates are en-
titled to vote. There seems to be a misunderstanding that some were
entitled to vote who were not delegates because they were present in
the room. Alternates cannot vote unless in the absence of the dele-
gates for whom they are alternates.

A Member : I move that we proceed with the nomination and election
of Vice-Presidents General while we are counting the ballots for
President.

(The motion was seconded and adopted.)

ELECTION OF VICE-PRESIDENTS GENERAL.

The Chairman : The Chair would suggest, in order not to interfere
with the program that our hosts have prepared for us, that the nomi-
nating speeches be limited to not exceeding one minute. (Applause.)

Mr. Ames : Mr. President and Compatriots, the entire State Society,
not alone in appreciation of New Jersey's hearty, generous, cordial
welcome ; not alone for the friendship that exists between the Empire
State Society and the New Jersey Society, but because New Jersey has
a favorite son who has been a member of its Society for over twenty
years, who for eight years has served on the Board of Managers of
the New Jersey Societ}^, who has been twice a member of the National
Executive Board, who has been the foremost man in New Jersey for
twelve years — we wish to place in nomination Mr. Thomas W. Wil-
liams, of New Jersey, for Vice-President General. (Applause.)

A Member : I am commissioned by President Adams, of the New
Jersey Society, to say that New Jersey wants nothing; we are merely
hosts here; but if the delegates and the Congress should see fit to give
that honor to Thomas W. Williams, we should be very appreciative.

Mr. Wood (Kentucky) : I want to place in nomination the name of
a gentleman who has invited us to be the guests of his Society for next
year, Mr. William K. Boardman, of Tennessee. (Applause.)

A Member: I want to add just a word to what has been said regard-
ing Mr. Williams, of New Jersey, as a representative of the New Jersey
Society. You have done us people here very great honor ; you have
covered our 250th anniversary with the glory of your presence and
your flag and your patriotism, and you are going to go thundering
through the ages not simply because you are the Sons of the American
Revolution, but you have taken up New Jersey into your arms and
covered her with glory on her 250th anniversary; and now we feel that
we would like you to do one thing more, and that is to put on record
for all the everlasting ages to come the name of a Jersey man as one
of the Vice-Presidents of this Society whom you elected at this great
anniversary and at the greatest meeting you have ever had.

A Member: On behalf of the State of Connecticut, I wish to second
the nomination of Mr. Williams, of New Jersey.

PROCEEDINGS OF NEWARK CONGRESS. J 8/

A Member: I wish to second the nomination of Mr. Frederick E.
Emerson, of Norfolk, Va., for Vice-President General for the ensuing
year.

A Member: Michigan desires to second the nomination of Mr. Board-
man for Vice-President General and also of Mr. Williams.

Maj. Tebbets (Alabama) : On behalf of the South, I second the nomi-
nation of Mr. Boardman.

Dr. Foster : Washington State wants to second the nomination of
Mr. Williams, of New Jersey, for Vice-President General.

Mr. Thruston : Mr. President General, I think the Pacific coast
ought to be represented among our Vice-Presidents General and I
would like to place in nomination Mr. Dutton, of Seattle, one of the
delegates to this Congress whom you all know.

Dr. Foster: If you knew that man as well as I know him, you would
vote for him with both hands. (Laughter.)

The Chairman : We have four nominations and there are five offices
to fill.

A Member: I wish to second the nomination of Mr. Emerson, of
Virginia. He is the Vice-President and one of the Board of Managers
of the Virginia Society.

A Member : I move that the nominations close.

The Chairman : The gentleman is not in order. There is another
nominee to be named to fill the list ; only four nominations have been
made and there are five officers.

A Member : It is quite fair that New England should be represented
on the Board of Vice-Presidents General, and I would nominate Mr.
Turner, of Maine, a compatriot of our friend who Jias been nominated
as President General. I would nominate for Vice-President General
Mr. Philip F. Turner, of Maine.

The Chairman : Those in nomination at the present time are Mr.
Emerson, of Virginia: Mr. Williams, of New Jersey: Mr. Boardman,
of Tennessee; Mr. Dutton, of Washington; Mr. Turner, of Maine.

Judge BeardslEy: May I ask for consent to the suspension of the
rules and move that the Secretary General deposit one ballot for each
of the gentlemen who have been nominated for Vice-President General?

(The motion was seconded and adopted and the ballot cast accord-
ingly.)

The Chairman: The Secretary General reports the ballot cast, and
the Chair declares Mr. Emerson, of Virginia; Mr. Williams, of New
Jersey; Mr. Boardman, of Tennessee; Mr. Dutton, of Washington, and
Mr. Turner, of Maine, elected as Vice-Presidents General of this So-
ciety. I will ask these gentlemen in a moment to come to the platform
and, under the provisions of our Constitution, to draw lots for the
order of sequence.

ELECTION OF PRESIDENT GENERAL.

The Chairman : I am informed that the tellers are ready to report.
We will have the announcement of the tellers before we proceed with
the drawing by the Vice-Presidents General.

(The tellers reported 205 ballots cast, of which Mr. Wentworth had
received 157 and Mr. Jenks 48.)

Mr. Jenks : Mr. President General, before I make the motion which
I have in mind, I want first to express my appreciation of the sympathy
which has been expressed for me because of the loss of my stenog-
rapher. (Applause and laughter.) Though lost to me, she still speak-
eth. (Laughter.) So universal is the expression of this sympathy
that it indicates a common grievance. (Laughter and applause.) Mr.
President General and members of this Congress, I come naturally by
a great respect for the name of Wentworth. Across the tumultuous
early history of Chicago there stalks one of the most picturesque fig-
ures which ever adorned the Middle West. I refer to Long John
Wentworth (applause), a graduate of my own college, Dartmouth, a
man fearless in the prosecution of what he considered to be the right.
When I went to Dartmouth College I came again under the influence
of the name of Wentworth, because one of the distinguished graduates
of the college and benefactors of the institution was Governor Went-
worth, of New Hampshire. I spent two years, and if any of you have
l)een in Hanover, you will know how to gauge the extent of my rever-
ence for the name of Wentworth by saying that I dwelt two years in
that antiquated old ramshackle known as Wentworth Hall. Again,
upon being placed upon the Executive Committee of this Society, I
came under the strong influence of the Wentworth type. This Society
has done well in placing at its head the distinguished compatriot from
Iowa (applause), and I ask you to indorse, to vote to sustain, the
motion which I now make. I think that the President General of this
Society should feel that he is being supported by every individual mem-
ber of the Society. (Applause.) His duties are not all easy. He re-
quires the consciousness that he is in truth the representative of the
Sons of the American Revolution, and that in what he endeavors to do
for the Society he has its unanimous support. I therefore move, Mr.
President General, that the election of Compatriot Wentworth, of
Iowa, be made unanimous. (Applause.)

(Motion seconded.)

The Chairman : Gentlemen, you have heard the motion. I take it
you want a rising vote.

Mr. Jenks : I do.

The Chairman : All in favor will please rise. I will not put the
contrary. Mr. Wentworth is declared unanimously elected and the
Chair will appoint Rev. Dr. Kirbye and Mr. Turner, of Maine, to
escort the President General-elect to the platform. The Vice-Presi-
dents General-elect will please come forward and take seats in front.

(Mr. Wentworth came to the platform and the members all rose.)

PROCEEDINGS 01" NEWARK CONGRESS. 1 89

The Chairman : Gentlemen, I present your President General-elect,
Mr. Elmer Marston Wentworth. (Applause.)

Mr. Wentworth : Mr. President General and Compatriots, there are
moments in a man's life, no matter what his ancestry may be, no mat-
ter what his present position may be, when the heart is too full and
the brain too weak to give utterance to his thanks, and I thank yon
each and all and everybody and pledge you the best there is in me to
keep the traditions of our ancestry good.

Colonel Lauman : Gentlemen, Compatriots, by permission of the two
Presidents General of the Society now on the rostrum (Woodworth
and Wentworth), I want to add one word more. Born in the State of
Iowa and transplanted to Illinois, there is no hyphen connecting my
States ; I was thoroughly and heartily in support of our own Illinois
candidate. This was thoroughly, understood; but since your favor has
gone to our friend from the old State of Iowa, I wish to say that he
will have the hearty support of all on our side of the Mississippi. When
we as a Society have the pleasure of visiting Iowa at some future day
and look upon the soldiers' monument in front of the State Capitol at
Des Moines, on one side of it we will see the large bronze bas-relief of
Colonel Baker leading his regiment at Fort Donelson, where he fell,
and on the other side we will find the bronze memorial tablet of my own
honored father, Bvt. Maj. Gen. Jacob F. Lauman, U. S. V., of Iowa,
leading the victorious troops home and being reviewed by Governor
Kirkwood, of Iowa, and his cabinet, with the populace in the distance.
When we go there we will go into the State House, and in their fine
historical society museum will have the pleasure of viewing the General
Lauman collection of Civil War relics which I myself have placed in
the custody of the Iowa Historical Society, so that as you have favored
Wentworth of Iowa, Jenks and his bunch of Indians from Illinois will
be with him for the continued prosperity of the Society.

VOTE OF THANKS TO HOSTS OF CONGRESS.

Mr. PugslEy : May I ask that the order of business be suspended for
the introduction of a resolution?

The Chairman: If there is no objection, the order of business will
be considered as suspended.

Mr. PugslEy : I know that I voice the sentiment of every compatriot
of this great Congress when I rise to express to the New Jersey Society
the thanks of the compatriots for the gracious hospitality of the State
of New Jersey, of the several Chapters of this splendid State, to the
Governor of the State, to the Mayor of the city, to the President of
the New Jersey Society, to our friend, Mr. Merrill, and to all who have
done so much to make this great Congress such a splendid one, stand-
ing out pre-eminently among all the congresses of the Sons of the
American Revolution. I move you, sir. the adoption of that resolution.

Mr. Lauman: Three cheers for the Jersey bunch. (Applause.)

(Three cheers were given.)

I90 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

The Chairman : The Chair considers the resolution already adopted.

Mr. PugslEy : I wish especially that ex-President General Murphy be
included in this resolution. (Applause.)

(The Vice-Presidents then came forward and drew lots.)

The Chairman : The Chair will announce the order of Vice-Presi-
dents General to be as follows : Mr. Dutton, Mr. Emerson, Mr. Wil-
liams, Mr. Turner, Mr. Boardman. Next in order is the nomination of
Secretary General and Registrar General.

ELECTION OF SECRETARY GENERAL AND OTHERS.

Colonel Lauman : I nominate the present Secretary General and Reg-
istrar General.

Dr. Foster : I second the nomination.

Mr. PugslEy: I move that the President General cast the ballot for
A. Howard Clark for Secretary General and Registrar General.

(The motion was seconded and adopted and the ballot cast accord-
ingly and the Chairman announced the result. A speech was called for,
but Mr. Clark declined.)

The Chairman : Next is the election of Treasurer General.

Mr. PugslEy : I move that our Treasurer General, Mr. John H. Bur-
roughs, be placed in nomination for that office.

(Motion seconded.)

(There being no other nominations, it was moved and carried that
the Secretary General cast the ballot of the Society for Mr. Burroughs,
and it was cast accordingly.)

The Chairman : The Secretary General reports the ballot so cast and
Mr. Burroughs is declared elected Treasurer General. Next come
nominations for Historian General.

Colonel Lauman : Mr. President General, Illinois has the honor of
suggesting, to succeed himself, our worthy Historian General, David L.
Pierson, of New Jersey.

A Member : I move that the nominations close, and that the Secretary
General deposit one ballot for David L. Pierson as Historian General
of this Society.

(The motion was seconded and adopted and the ballot cast in accord-
ance therewith.)

The Chairman : The Secretary General reports the vote so cast and
Mr. Pierson is declared elected. Next is nominations for Chaplain
General.

Mr. Dutton : I traveled 3,500 miles to place in nomination my vener-
able friend, Dr. Foster, for Chaplain General ; but, much to my sur-
prise, you have elected me Vice-President General of the National So-
ciety. The State of Washington does not want all the offices, but Dr.
Foster is the choice of the entire coast delegation, and we are going to
place him in nomination because he deserves it. He is one of the most
militant Christian patriots and he is 83 years young, and I place in
nomination Rev. John O. Foster, D. D., of Seattle.

(Nomination seconded by member from Illinois.)

Mr. Baldwin : Representing- the State of Oregon, I would like to
have had the privilege of first stretching my hand across the Columbia
River and seconding the nomination of this grand old man, but Chicago,
as usual, was a little too fast for us ; but I would like to say that T
admire Dr. Foster; his fine ardor and splendid sincerity has already
won all your hearts, and it is an honor to second his nomination.

Judge Remington : Mr. President General, I desire to second the
nomination of Dr. Foster — this genial young man from the West ; th's
young Lochinvar, you might call him, who comes out of the West.
There is another reason why you should elect him — he was a resident
for many years of the State of New Jersey. (Laughter.)

The Chairman: Are there any other nominations?

(It was moved and carried that the nominations close, and that the
Secretary General cast the ballot of the Society for Dr. Foster for
'Chaplain General, and the ballot was cast accordingly. )

The Chairman : The Secretary General announces the vote cast, and
I declare Dr. Foster elected Chaplain General. Next is the election of
the Board of Trustees.

ELECTION OF TRUSTEES.

The Secretary General : The Constitution requires that each State
shall send to the Secretary General, 30 days before the Congress, a list

MINUTES OF MEETING OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
NOVEMBER 29, 1915.

A meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution, duly called by direction of the
President General, was held at the University Club, Fifth avenue and
Fifty- fourth street, New York City, on Monday, November 29, 1915,.
at 10.30 o'clock a. m. Present : President General Newell B. Wood-
worth, presiding; Mr. R. C. Ballard Thruston, of Kentucky; Mr. Al-
bert M. Henry, of Michigan ; Mr. Elmer M. Wentworth, of Iowa ; Mr-
Chancellor L. Jenks, of Illinois, and Mr. John Lenord Merrill, of New
Jersey, members of the committee; also Vice-President General Henry
F. Punderson, of Massachusetts ; Treasurer General John H. Burroughs,
of New York; ex-Presidents General Edwin S. Greeley, of Connecti-
cut, Morris B. Beardsley, of Connecticut, Moses Greeley Parker, M. D.,.
of Massachusetts, and Cornelius A. Pugsley, of New York; President
Louis Annin Ames, of the Empire State Society; Commander John H.
Moore, U. S. N., vice-chairman of Committee on Americanization and
Aliens, and Secretary General A. Howard Clark. The courtesy of the
floor was extended to those present not members of the committee.

The minutes of the meeting of the committee on July 21, 1915, were-
read and approved.

The President General made a statement as to the present condition
of the Society.

The Secretary General reported on the work of his office, including
the completion of the National Year Book for 191 5. An edition of
1,500 copies of the book was printed; the usual official distribution was
made of about 650 copies ; about 700 copies were ordered by State
Societies and Chapters, and the remainder are held for sale at 50 cents
per copy, as directed by the Executive Committee.

Mr. Merrill, vice-chairman of the Memorial Committee, reported on
progress made in preparation of a memorial volume to the Signers of
the Declaration of Independence, and the Secretary General was re-
quested to inform the chairman of the committee that it is authorized
to continue that work under the same joint committee as heretofore.

Mr. Wentworth, chairman of the Committee on Organization in the
West, reported on progress made and suggested the importance of
securing the interest of leading men in the work of the Society.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING. 1 93

Mr. Henry, chairman of the Committee on Organization in the Middle
States, presented a report expressing the views of the several members
of that committee as to the best methods of work, each of them calling
particular attention to the great advantage of local Chapters. Good
results have come through co-operation with the Daughters of the
American Revolution. The attention of the committee was called to
the plan of operations in Michigan, where several Chapters have been
organized, the State Society being practically placed on a Chapter basis.
The fact that 300 members of the State Society resided in Detroit and
only about 50 in the remaining parts of the State naturally resulted
in a feeling throughout the State that social activities of the Society
held at Detroit were primarily of benefit to the Detroit members only,
and that the "State" Society was in fact, if not in name, but a local
Detroit affair. To remove this condition, the Detroit Chapter was
organized, membership in which was optional to State members residing
in Wayne County. This Chapter levied its own dues of $2 per annum
and took over the conduct of all social functions in Detroit formerly
given by the State Society, including monthly meetings during the
winter season. The State Society continues to hold but the one func-
tion— the annual meeting and banquet — and it is the intention of the
State Society to hold this at different cities throughout the State, as
the Society grows in strength. When it became understood that the
Detroit members were no longer using the State Society as a local
Society, the outside members began to evidence a willingness to co-
operate which had not previously been manifest. Five Chapters have
been organized : Detroit, 227 members ; Grand Rapids, 38 members ;
Ann Arbor, 21 members; Mt. Pleasant, 11 members, and Kalamazoo;
and another Chapter is being formed at Marquette.

Vice-President General Punderson, chairman of the Committee on
Organization in New England, reported that he had been in corre-
spondence with members of that committee, particularly as to what
efforts are being made to increase membership through the formation
of local Chapters. In 1913 three Chapters were organized in Maine —
at Rockland, Lewiston, and Waterville. It has long been the practice,
in order to arouse local interest, to have a Vice-President for each
county in that State. New Hampshire has but one Chapter ; Vermont
none ; Rhode Island, 4, and Connecticut, 7. Massachusetts has 15
Chapters, two of them recently chartered, and two more will soon be
formed. That Society has under consideration a plan for the abolition
of further payment of annual dues after members have paid for some
definite number of years. The total membership of the Sons of the
American Revolution in New England on April 1, 1915, was 4,012,
about 5 per cent being new during the preceding year. In a population
of 6,525,000 this is about one member to 1,626 men, women, and chil-
dren. Massachusetts, with half its population of foreign birth or
parentage, has one member in 2,000, while Connecticut has the remark-
able record of one member to each 950 of its population.

In behalf of the Committee on Organization in the South, Mr.

194 SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Thruston reported that a determined effort would be made during the
present season to arouse greater interest in the Society's work in the
Southern States.

Mr. Thruston, chairman of the Committee on Education, outlined a
plan of operations for promoting patriotic education and read several
letters from members of the committee suggesting various activities.
Mr. George A. Brennan, principal of the Van Vlissengen School in
Chicago, suggests as follows :

i. We should see that United States history is taught in a more
attractive manner in the elementary schools, with less attention to de-
tails of wars and tariffs and more study given to the general growth
of the nation, the life of the people, stories of great patriots, inventions
and their usefulness, etc. History must be made alive.

2. We should make more of patriotic days, such as Lincoln's and
Washington's Birthdays, Lexington Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day,
Independence Day, Yorktown Day, and Thanksgiving Day. Most of
these are celebrated by the Chicago school children ; in fact, all but
Lexington and Yorktown Days, which the Illinois Society celebrates
officially, and its members take part with other societies in celebrating
the other patriotic days.

3. Patriotic songs. * * * The Chicago Board of Education has
published for general use a book of patriotic songs as sung in the
Van Vlissengen School. Every school in the country should sing a
selected number of American patriotic songs instead of the trash that
some sing. Our committee can help in this line.

4. Our committee can also help by recommending our members to
urge more free evening schools for immigrants, not only to teach them
our language, but also the principles of American citizenship. This is
being done admirably in Chicago through the use of our Sons of the
American Revolution leaflets.

5. Our committee can urge the Society members to do more personal
work in preaching a business-like patriotism in obeying the laws, in
selecting good law-makers, in training our people, and preparing our-
selves to put our country in a state of proper defense.

Mr. Jenks, chairman, and Commander Moore, vice-chairman, of the
Committee on Americanization and Aliens, reported on the general suc-
cess attending the work of that committee, particularly in the prepara-
tion of aliens for naturalization and in inaugurating impressive cere-
monies at court when the oath of allegiance is administered to new citi-
zens. Leaflet No. 2, on Naturalization, and No. 3, the Constitution, are
in greater demand than ever before for use in night schools.

The President General called attention to the urgent need of teach-
ing aliens to speak the English language, that they may more rapidly
become real Americans, and described special efforts being made at
Syracuse to that end, the city's alien residents numbering some 8,000
unnaturalized adult males and some 6,500 non-English-speaking and
5,200 illiterate persons.

President General Woodworth co-operated with the Chamber of Com-
merce and the National Americanization Committee of New York in
adopting a new method of reaching every non-English-speaking person
in every section of the city. Forty thousand hand bills were printed in

five languages — English, Polish, Italian, Yiddish, and German — which
read :

Make Syracuse an English-speaking City.

Go To Night School at Once.

Can you speak well?

Do you want to be an American citizen?

Do you want a better job?

It is hard to get a job in America without English.

Go to Night School and Learn it.

Pick out the school nearest you in the list at the bottom of this page
and go there AT once.

Commander Moore, of the Committee on a National Archives Build-
ing, reported on the need of certain legislation in preparation for plans,
and the President General outlined certain procedure to advance the
work.

Mr. Merrill, chairman of the Committee on the Washington Guard,
reported a form of Constitution, which was adopted, subject to the
approval of a committee, consisting of the President General, the Sec-
retary General, Mr. Merrill, and Judge Henry Stockbridge, appointed
with power to act. [The Constitution as adopted and promulgated in
Official Bulletin of March, 1916, is given below.]

Mr. Merrill, chairman of the National Committee on Arrangements
for the Twenty-seventh Annual Congress, at Newark, N. J., reported
progress. A proposition to hold the Congress on May 28, 29, and 30
was considered, but the sentiment of the Executive Committee was
against it. Approval of arrangements for the Congress was deferred,
to be determined by the Executive Committee through correspondence.

Mr. Burroughs presented a letter from the American Relief Clearing-
house. It was voted that the appeal be commended to the attention of
individual compatriots, and that the letter be printed in the Official
Bulletin. Contributions to the cause may be forwarded to Mr. John H.
Burroughs, Treasurer General, S. A. R., 15 William street, New York
City.

Treasurer General Burroughs reported that the balance on hand May
14, 1915, was $7,969.42; receipts to November 17, $1,703.66; disburse-
ments, $4,120.58; balance November 17, $5,552.50, including $150.50 cred-
ited to the Permanent Fund.

The report was accepted, with thanks of the committee to the Treas-
urer General for his able services to the National Society.

Past President General R. C. Ballard Thruston presented to the So-
ciety, as an addition to the investments in the Permanent Fund, a $1,000
5 per cent bond. The unanimous thanks of the Executive Committee
were extended to Mr. Thruston for his generous gift.

The Permanent Fund now aggregates $8,000 invested in bonds and
$150.50 cash at interest.

The President General called attention to the resolutions adooted at
the Portland Congress with reference to the Commissioner of Educa-

tion, and he was requested to communicate the resolutions, with accom-
panying exhibits, to the President of the United States for his consid-
eration and investigation.

The committee approved the proposed plan of the President General
to write to each State Society requesting suitable action toward accom-
plishing the early erection of a National Archives Building in Wash-
ington City for the preservation of government records now widely
scattered and in danger of destruction.

On motion by Mr. Punderson, it was voted that the President Gen-
eral be requested .to communicate to each State Society a copy of the
following resolution on "preparedness," adopted at the Portland Con-
gress on July 20, 1915, as offered by Mr. Nathan Warren, of Massa-
chusetts, and that each State be recommended to adopt a similar reso-
lution expressing the sentiment of such community on that important
question :

Resolved, That the Sons of the American Revolution, in Congress
assembled, indorse the sentiment for a system of preparedness on the
part of the government and the people and the guarantee of peace with
honor, in accordance with the traditions and policy of our Revolutionary
ancestry.

On motion by Mr. Jenks, chairman of the Committee on American-
ization and Aliens, the following resolutions were adopted :

Whereas there have been issued from time to time and are in circu-
lation in different parts of the country manuals or primers on the
duties of naturalized citizens, such publications seeking to prepare the
alien for naturalization and to hasten his amalgamation into American
citizenship ; and

Whereas, also, such publications lack uniformity of presentation of
the subjects discussed and the authority of official origin and sanction;
and

Whereas, also, the Bureau of Naturalization of the Department of
Labor has logically and essentially the care of the alien and his induc-
tion into American citizenship : Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Bureau of Naturalization of the Department of
Labor be requested to prepare, publish, and issue, as soon as practicable,
a manual of citizenship for the benefit of aliens who have declared
their intention to become citizens of this country; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be sent to the President of
the United States, the Secretary of Labor, and the Speaker of the
House of Representatives.

An additional appropriation of $400 was voted for printing and dis-
tributing the National Year Book.

The Secretary General was directed to furnish the address by Mr.
Thruston on the "Origin and Evolution of the United States Flag,"
in pamphlet form, reprinted from the National Year Book, at 15 cents
per copy, in bulk, to State Societies, and at 25 cents per copy mailed
to individual members.

(The committee and other compatriots present at the meeting were
the guests of the President General at lunch.)

There being no further business, the meeting then, at 4.45 o'clock,
adjourned. A Howard Clark,

Secretary General.

BANQUET AT NEWARK IN HONOR OF THE TWENTY-
SEVENTH ANNUAL CONGRESS.

Given by the New Jersey Society, at the Robert Treat Hotel,
Newark, N. J., on the Evening of May 16, 1916.

The banquet was attended by about 450 members and guests, includ-
ing ladies. President W. I. Lincoln Adams, of the New Jersey Society,
presided as toastmaster.

The Toastmaster : Ladies and Gentlemen, when our genial Master
of Ceremonies, my personal good friend, and everybody's good friend,
the founder of The Washington Guard — of course, I refer to John
Lenord Merrill (applause) — told me very plainly that I was expected
to make a speech of only two minutes, I told him that I would take
only half that time. I do not enjoy public speaking, neither do my
audiences (laughter) ; and my oratory — if it can be called oratory — has
at least one thing in its favor, and that is its brevity. But, anyway, all
that I want to say tonight to you is to tell you how happy the Sons of
the American Revolution in the State of New Jersey are in having you
with us during this Congress, and especially to have you with us tonight
to sit down at a common board and break bread with us. (Applause.)
The business of the Congress is over and all we have to do now is to
enjoy ourselves. I hope that this dinner will be the means of our
cementing the acquaintances which we have made during the Congress
into enduring friendships. I am now going to tell you that our genial
host of yesterday, the man who has been President General of this
National Society and Governor of this Commonwealth, the Hon.
Franklin Murphy (cheers and applause), has just come into the room,
and I know that you want the privilege of showing him how much you
appreciated his generous hospitality of yesterday afternoon, and I am
going to ask Governor Murphy to rise in his place and give us all a
chance to show how much we did appreciate what he has done, and
the fact that he has come to us tonight to let us show him how much
we think of him. (Prolonged cheers and applause.)

REMARKS BY PAST PRESIDENT GENERAL MURPHY.

Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen : I am a little old to be em-
barrassed at any new experience. If it were not for that, T should be
embarrassed tonight. If T had a voice such as I used to have when I
was younger, before my throat failed me. I could perhaps hold you for
a moment or two ; but T tried to hold an audience in this room last
Saturday night, but found that one by one they rose at the rear end
of the room, got up and went away, and it was a good speech, too
(laughter) ; but I had to cut it short. I did not come up here for this
at all ; I came up to hear Job Hedges. I think a great deal of Job
Hedges. We must not bring politics into the Sons of the American

BANQUET AT NEWARK CONGRESS. 205

Revolution, and I am not going to do it, but I am going to say to yon
this — that the people in New Jersey who think along those lines that
Job Hedges thinks along feel that he has been of great service to them,
and the people in his own State, and the people in the United States.
I think he may be charged with being a party man, and I was going
to ask the pardon of the ladies and say he would not be worth a blank
if he was not; but I will say he would not be worth a sixpence if he
was not, and if you look at him you will see that he is still young, and
a great deal may be hoped from him still; and if he will let his friends
in New Jersey come over to New York and help him for anything in
the future that his name is associated with, we will buy a 25-cent
ticket and see what he can do. Now, it only shows when a man gets
on his feet and starts to say something how easy it is to drift away.
Let me say in a word that, as a member of the New Jersey Society, as
a former official in the National Society, and at a time when it was
easier for me to give the time to your work than of recent years, 1
was very much interested in the work of this Society, and I am still,
although I cannot give it the time I once did. But speaking now as a
member of the New Jersey Society, I reiterate all that the Presi'den:
of this Society has said. We are glad to see you here ; we hope you
will come again; and if in a very modest way I have been able to con-
tribute to your comfort, in however slight a measure, I surely am very
glad indeed. (Applause.)

REMARKS BY TOASTMASTER.

Now, I am sure there is another man whom you wish to show how
much you think of, and that is the man who has conducted this Con-
gress so ably and so impartially, who has endeared himself to every
one here, who will always be remembered by us in New Jersey as the
President General who had charge of the New Jersey Congress, our
retiring President General, the Hon. Newell B. Woodworth. (The
audience rose amid cheers and applause.)

ADDRESS BY RETIRING PRESIDENT GENERAL WOOD-
WORTH.

The Hon. Newell B. Woodworth : Mr. President, Mr. President
General, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Compatriots : Again you
place me in debt to you for your graciousness to me in the tribute you
have given today in the Congress and again this evening. I wish to
congratulate you, Mr. President of the New Jersey State Society, on
what I think we can call the most successful Congress that this Society
has ever held. (Applause.) I know I voice the sentiments of all those
who have come from other parts of the country that from the moment
that we have come into your presence here you have given us an hos-
pitality, free and generous, and made us feel at home. There was no
attention that you could give us that you have not bestowed, sir, and I

206 SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

am sure we will all return home remembering the enjoyment and pleas-
ure which we have received at the hands of the New Jersey State
Society. (Applause.)

Coming to this city at the time when it is celebrating the 250th anni-
versary of its settlement, naturally our thoughts return to those earlier
days. Particularly is the founding of Newark interesting in that it was
the most western settlement of any made by the Puritans in their
efforts to extend the institutions of their government. The little band
of pioneers that came here under the leadership of Robert Treat came
as a church in its entirety — pastor, deacons, records, congregation.
Here they established their form of government, maintaining that none
but members of the church should become freemen to participate in
the town affairs or to hold office, thus exemplifying the union of State
and Church, "to carry on," as they recorded, "their spiritual concern-
ments as well as their town and civic affairs according to God and a
godly government." So tonight we are assembled in what may be called
one of the very foundations of Puritan theocracy. This little band of
pioneers was small in number, some thirty-odd families, yet they were
great in the essential principles of democracy — morality, education, and
obedience to law. Here, as elsewhere, when Puritanism ceased to be
a mere religious symbol, it became an intense social force, which was
to exercise its influence upon the development of this nation and which
still is exercising its influence in controlling its destiny. The effect of
Puritanism has not been given its full relative value in our history.
The English historian, Green, wrote that "the whole history of English
progress since the Reformation, both on its moral and spiritual side,
has been the history of Puritanism." These words are equally appli-
cable to America, for it has been Puritanism that has vitalized our
national civilization and modeled our national character. (Applause.)
Beginning with religious intolerance, they so sowed the seeds of liberty
here that when the time came to assert those rights of mankind by force
of arms it was their doctrine that made resistance holy. The same
spirit that led Cromwell and his Roundheads to quote the Scriptures
as they rushed to battle found its expression here in Puritanism in the
years preceding the Revolution and during the continuance of that
struggle, at which time the congregational pulpit of New England —
and T am pointing to Doctor Kirbye — became virtually recruiting offi-
cers, because these ministers did not believe that resistance was unholy.
(Applause.)

The age of Milton, Bunyan, and Cromwell in England was one of
intense religious feeling, a reformation of true spiritual freedom; it
was an easy step then, as vision expanded and tolerance of opinion
expanded, to extend the thought from the realm of the Church, with
all this intense furor, to the realm of the State. This was a logical
development of the doctrine of Christianity that in the eyes of God
all men are equal. From this same thought also came the logical con-
clusion that the individual was superior to the State, superseding the
pagan thought that the State was superior to the individual. Tt was

the intense devotion of the Puritans to these principles, founded upon
the Word of God, that has given stability to the American character
and counteracted the mutability arising from the infusion of so much
foreign blood. The contributions of the Puritans toward local self-
government have been great. True, local government was known as a
political feature before the days of Puritanism, but it remained for
these people to modify and adopt a plan here adapted to local condi-
tions. As Judge Cooley writes : "This system is one which almost
seems a part of the nature of the race to which we belong." Again,
Puritanism demanded that all individuals should share in the govern-
ment under penalty for neglect, based upon the sound belief that the
individual had no right to consider alone his own comfort or interest
or to trust the protection of this right to others. From this came, as
a natural sequence, that the man who had the right of suffrage should
also be able to properly shoulder a musket to defend his right, for who
are to defend a sovereign people if they defend not themselves? The
road from Puritanism to the Constitution is as straight as the road
from Runnymede to Lexington. Puritanism demanded universal mili-
tary service of all who were to become citizens. (Applause.) It is
appropriate here, on the very edge of the old Puritan training ground,
in front of this building, to refer to this, and I am proud to be able to
state as a citizen of the Empire State of New York that yesterday our
Governor signed, as I see by the daily papers, several bills affecting
national preparedness along these lines. One of these bills provides
for compulsory military training of all boys in the State between the
ages of 16 and 19 years of age. (Applause.) Another bill provides
for enrolment of all males between the ages of 18 and 45 years, and
from this list a draft may be made at any time, in time of peace or in
time of war, to fill up the quota of any branch of the National Guard
that requires it. (Applause.) I am proud of being a citizen of a State
that has acted and not debated. (Applause.)

It is well that in these troublesome times we, as descendants of those
who aided in creating this Republic, should meet on a site so intimately
associated with the principles which have so powerfully influenced the
development of our government. Recent events have led many to as-
sert that this influence has either ceased to maintain its former virility
-or else that it has been so diluted with many foreign bloods, or else
weakened by the cupidity for wealth, that it is no longer capable of its
achievements of the past. Personally, I believe none of these conditions
are correct ; rather, I am of the belief that we and others, as represent-
ing through ancestry this influence, have become slothful and have
been living more in the reflected light of the past achievements of our
ancestors than in the light of our own efforts toward continuing what
they so actively maintained during their lifetime. If I am correct in
this assumption, then, indeed, it is time to arouse ourselves from this
mood of self-complacency and self-satisfaction and take up the task
"by teaching, by word and example, the qualities which have made this
nation great in the past. No, I am reluctant to confess that the soul

208 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

of America has lost its virility or has been submerged by the influx of
foreign blood ; rather would I believe that the soul of America needs
but to be called and it will respond with eagerness to again take up
the work of inculcating the principles of equality, justice, and loyalty.
Nor do I believe we are placing the dollar above honor, for I would
not believe the spirit that led our forefathers to do the work which
they believed God gave them to do has fallen to such a point as to be
measured by dollars and cents.

We should teach a love of reverence for the flag ; we should teach
that there is no room in this nation for the flag of any other nation
besides that of the United States (cheers and applause) ; no room for
divided allegiance or dual citizenship. (Applause.) We must teach
that there is no vote in this country worth having that is not an Amer-
ican vote cast as representing American principles. (Applause.) The
public man who stands in awe of the hyphenated vote should study the
history of this nation, and he will find that his fears, based on that,
have no foundation. The past history of this nation has been controlled
by American votes, and T believe that, thank God, it will be controlled
in the future by American votes. (Applause.) America — free, just,,
and powerful — has a mission to perform of service to mankind — a mis-
sion depending not upon a nation filled with discordant voices or con-
flicting interests, but a nation united and strong and alert and anxious
to render service to humanity within or without its borders. (Ap-
plause.) We must teach and lead forward this nation to even greater
ideals of democracy and aid in extending the principles of democracy
throughout the world, upon which depend the elements of hope of a
permanent peace, based upon a federation of world powers.

"When the war-drums beat no more and the battle flags are furled
In the parliament of man and the federation of the world."

A people without a vision perish. America has a vision beneath that
flag, whose stripes represent the martyrs' blood and the hope of hu-
manity—the Stars and Stripes. (Applause.)

REMARKS BY TOASTMASTER.

The Toastmaster: Before I call upon our newly elected President
General, I know you would wish to tell the President General of our
sister society how happy we are that she has been willing to graciously
honor our company tonight with her presence, and I very much hope
that Mrs. William Cumming Story, President General of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, will be willing to bring us a greeting from
our sister society. (Applause.)

ADDRESS BY MRS. WILLIAM CUMMING STORY.

Mr. Chairman, Mr. President General, Distinguished Guests: It
is a pleasure and privilege to speak for my ninety-two thousand Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution. We love to be indebted to people we

BANQUET AT NEWARK CONGRESS. 209

care for, and it is a pleasure in your presence to acknowledge our debt
of inspiration to the Sons of the American Revolution. (Applause.)
I have a long record of years of appreciation, years in which it has
been a privilege to know how great the achievements are of this great
body of American men ; but I think I have never felt so strongly as I
do now with the vivid recollection of the inspiration of that parade of
Saturday, as I saw you men walk out there, standing for the things
that are true and great and brave and normal, standing and showing by
your presence what you believed in and what we might look to you for
in the future. A sense of comfort, a sense of security and great inspi-
ration is ours ; we gained a great deal by your friendship, by the co-
operation that you have given us, and it is a pleasure to come and tell'
of our progress, the progress that you have helped along. I know you-
do delight in the achievements of your sisters ; many of the men arc
represented through their wives in this great, splendid family of mine,,
and so I am so glad to come here and to wish for your future a con-
tinuance of the great success and achievements of the past. This has
been a notable year, a splendid year for the Sons of the American
Revolution ; there is in the immediate future, I am sure, a year of
splendid progress, and still further on in the future more success and
achievement. Thank you a thousand times for the cordial considera-
tion that you have given to my family of Daughters and to me. (Three
cheers were then given to Mrs. Story.)

REMARKS BY TOASTMASTER.

Compatriots : We have another sister society, perhaps I might call it
a half-sister, for while some of us believe that it is foolish for the Sons
to be divided into two organizations, we like to think that it is still
more foolish for the Daughters to be divided into two organizations ;
but both of these sister societies have honored us tonight by having
their President General present, and I have very great pleasure in giv-
ing you the opportunity to show your appreciation of the fact that we
have with us the President General of the Daughters of the Revolu-
tion, Mrs. Raynor, who has also honored us tonight by her presence.
(Applause.)

ADDRESS BY MRS. RAYNOR.

Mr. President, Mr. President General, and Guests : It is a very
great honor to be able to stand before you this evening and bring to
you the greetings of the National Society of the Daughters of the
Revolution. I felt, when sitting at }^our gracious and hospitable table,,
that Jersey is living up to her own. Washington said that he had called
on Jersey more than any other State and Jersey had never failed him
(applause), and the women of Jersey were his stand-bys all through
that trying time. (Applause.) Madam President General, I feel that
we are sister societies ; that tonight I am a D. A. R. with the S. A. R.'s,.
and the middle letter stands for Appreciation. (Applause.) There's

210 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

just one thought that I would like to express, and that is the wonderful
time, the wonderful meeting of The Washington Guard held here in
this room last night. To us memorials and the time for memorials has
past; we are looking to the future.— The youth of this nation are the
future ; they are our living memorials ; they are the ones for whom we
should work. I am proud, and was proud to be able to be here and
witness those young boys and youths taking the oath of allegiance to
the flag in the most serious way, being instructed not for the day, not
for the hour, but for the time to come, perhaps the time of their chil-
dren and their children's children, that these things may be that we
have at times let die down ; and so I am glad that I came to Jersey, and
I thank Jersey for inviting the President General of the Daughters of
the Revolution. (Three cheers were then given to Mrs. Raynor.)

(Upon motion of Col. R. W. Guthrie, a rising vote of thanks was
given to Mrs. Story and Mrs. Raynor.)

REMARKS BY TOASTMASTER.

Now, my compatriots, I am not going even to introduce the next
speaker, the man whom you have elected to be your President General,
the man who is going to be your chief, the man who has already become
my dear friend, as he has become the friend of you all, the Hon. Elmer
M. Wentworth, the newly elected President General. (Three cheers
were given.)

ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT GENERAL WENTWORTH.

Mr. President, Madames Presidents General, Ladies, and Com-
patriots : What words can mere man's brains devise to convey the
emotions that fill the man's mind and heart after such a tribute as you
have paid to me and to the office with which you have honored me?
Frankly, words fail me, and I question if the eloquence of these fair
ladies (bowing to them), whose presence and greetings have charmed
ns, could express the appreciation or voice the sentiments which fill the
heart and which I would I could give to you. It is also a tribute to
the country west of the Mississippi, from which I come, an appreciation
of the common ancestry from which we sprung, an earnest of a new
dawn of a common patriotism from Portland, Maine, to Portland,
Oregon — English of tongue, American in mind and thought; no hyphen-
ism (applause); no divisive racial strife; patriots all, Americans all —
when the voice of the pacifist will not be heard in the land. (Cheers
and applause.)

I was greatly impressed by the address of our former President Gen-
eral. In the pulpit filled by our friend, Doctor Kirbye, as in the pulpit
referred to, the American flag has a place of honor; the spirit of
Americanism breathes its inspiration each Sabbath, hallowing every
thought and utterance. I have a suggestion to add, I think, to that
influence, because how often have you heard it said the greatest crisis
in human history confronts and imperils us. For one, I believe it to

BANQUET AT NEWARK CONGRESS. 211

be true. I cannot conceive there has ever been a time when so much
was at stake. The great principles of democracy as applied to govern-
ments of, by, and for the people are on trial, attacked and assaulted by
the most powerful and determined foe that ever struck at the rights of
humanity and the privileges of political liberty — rights and privileges
demanded, won, and defended by our forebears. I would add more,
sir, to those pulpits. I would place there, if possible to secure it, a flint-
lock musket, such as carried by our sires in 1776, backed up by the
most up-to-date modern machine for defense that it is possible to
obtain (applause) — a plain notice to all that, having won our independ-
ence with the one, we are ready to maintain it with the other.

I doubt if I am as enthusiastic over the new law in the Empire State
as our friend, much as I approve and admire its leadership ; but being
of the vintage of the 6o's, and physically fit, I would be counted out,
though I want to do my bit. (Applause.)

In our forefathers' time inspiration and leadership came from the
Parish Church. Why not today? From the attendants of the churches
and the Sunday schools I would add to the different athletic organiza-
tions, encouraged and supported by them, a battalion, equally fit and
ready to march as Minute Men did of yore, for the defense of the flag,
the home, and the church ; for mother, sister, sweetheart, and wife.
(Cheers and applause.)

REMARKS BY TOASTMASTER.

Compatriots and Ladies: I will call your attention to the fact that
this is a true Jersey banquet. All the food was produced in New Jer-
sey; the wine is New Jersey wine; even the cigars were made in New
Jersey, and our principal orator of the evening, although he is now
from the Empire State, was formerly a Jersey man, of which fact we
are all very proud, and Job Hedges needs no introduction to a New
Jersey audience. (Cheers and applause.)

ADDRESS BY MR. JOB HEDGES.

Mr. Chairman, Distinguished Guests, and Fellow-diners : I do
not feel well enough versed in titles to pay individual respects to each
one of those who have spoken, but I have had enough experience behind
the guest table to know that it is safer sometimes to indulge in gen-
eralities. I don't know just what societies are represented here, and I
care less ; I don't know the reason for each one, and care less ; but the
general atmosphere appeals to me. (Laughter.) I like the idea of the
Daughters, although I have not any. I would like to get in closer
association with the Daughters. (Laughter). Possibly a word in
reference to pedigree might not be inconsistent. I was born in New
Jersey and tarried here some six weeks. (Laughter.) My father be-
ing engaged in the Civil War, the financial resources of the Hedges
family enabled it to board for six months, and then we visited for
awhile, there being a larger number whom we could visit in New York

212 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

and elsewhere than in New Jersey; for the broader feeling of altruism
the family naturally migrated. I can date, however, from the Declara-
tion of Independence, incidentally, and a few other things in the Revo-
lutionary War; I can date from the Civil War and some other things
that I will not mention in this audience. (Laughter.) It is a rare
compliment to be invited to address this gathering. From what I have
heard tonight and what I imagine has gone before, there can hardly be
any topic that has not been thoroughly exhausted, ornamented, and
electrified. If, therefore, I am in a way a trailer, it is both from limita-
tion and a natural modesty; it is inspiration enough to talk about
daughters and sons of the Revolutionary days. Had our fathers been
able to vision the present generation, they never could have agreed on
a constitution. Had it been within the scope of the vision of any of
the fathers as to what would follow in a half dozen generations, they
would have stood still in their tasks and their labors would never have
been completed. Thank God their experience was as limited as it was,
because we would not be here were it otherwise. There certainly is a
place in our social life for organizations such as yours, and I belong
to them all, except the Daughters, because we are going rather rapidly
these days. Men talk flippantly about the fathers who don't recall their
names and could have no mental association with them if they did.
People daily amend the Constitution who have never read it (laughter
and applause) ; people reorganize this government rhetorically every
diurnal period of the week without reorganizing themselves at the same
time. It seems to be heterodox nowadays to be able to date back fur-
ther than a generation, to know more than any one knew before ; it
is sort of a threat ; it is a dangerous thing to have a past, politically.
The present takes care of itself, and with a buoyant sense of hope we
look toward a future that reflects nothing but imagination. No one
rises to his feet these days, as a rule, unless he systematizes his remarks
according to two or three well-known standards, and they always have
to bring first that well-known speech, uttered invariably at public func-
tions, where the orator enjoins on behalf of virtue as against vice, no
one taking the vice end. As if that were not enough, now and then
some man branches out with the alarming proposition that the laws
are made for all, and not for one. No one ever had dared claim that
they were made for one, or ever had thought that they were made for
one; and then, as if to round up the general situation to an alarming
enthusiasm, the final proposition is that in this country — this is always
said — that in this country there shall be no special privilege; and yet I
never saw a well-ordered American citizen who saw a special privilege
coming toward him in a direct line who yielded ground by one inch
(laughter) ; but with the blood of ancestry coursing through his veins
and his heart palpitating to the tune of the National Anthem, he stood
his ground until it came within arms' reach, when he folded it to his
breast, lest it should do harm to some one else. (Laughter and ap-
plause.) All of which leads me to the conclusion that for the past
decade or two this country has been rhetorically drunk. When a man

PROCEEDINGS OP NEWARK CONGRESS. 213

don't know what to do or how to do it, he makes a speech explaining
how some one else should do it, and we are substituting hypocrisy for
larceny, and hypocrisy is the greater crime. When a man is still in
doubt as to what to do, and sometimes even the topics I have mentioned
don't seem to be comprehensive enough, then, and only then, his mind
reverts to those two greatest oratorical topics of support, uplift and
efficiency, efficiency being the manner in which another man would run
your business at your expense, if you would let him (laughter and
applause), an uplift being the character you want some one else to
assume you have without taking the trouble to investigate whether you
have it or not. It seems to me, therefore, in a gathering such as this
we can well devote a few moments to taking stock nationally. I ap-
preciate what Governor Murphy said. Of course, I can stand anything
but kindness, and I have had much of everything else. We must revise
some of our definitions, and one of them is the word politics. Ge-
nerically, politics is the outward and visible evidence of man's civic
virtue tested in the term of conduct. Party politics is the phase of
activity which men indulge in to carry out the principles of political
belief, and we are coming to a time when it is going to be actually
respectable for a man to be politically decent. I look forward to the
time when a man cannot be received into intelligent society who fails
to understand a political duty and to read it in the light of personal
conduct. I look at the great war on the other side of the ocean as a
mirror, providently held up before the American people, so that they
can look at themselves in the reflected light of the great events over
there. And it is time for the American people to think; they have
gone through a sort of a process in the past year. Outside of the great
patriotic societies there has been a sort of mental inbreeding condition
which has kept the strain and decreased the size. The time has come
when we no longer have a right to assume the moral leadership of the
world without evidencing it in our conduct. It takes about a generation
to realize how far this country has gone. When Washington was in
liis second term he said he looked forward with anticipation to the time
when mail could be carried from Philadelphia to New York in twenty-
four hours, and he was laughed at by the public print and ridiculed as
if his mind was affected, and today we do it in ninety minutes. No
man believed in what Jules Verne wrote, in the fantasies he indulged
in, but today, if he were alive, he would find that his prophecies had
come true. Men fly through the air and go under the sea ; they skim
the surface of the water. Washington indulged in the advice that we
should have no entangling alliances, and yet when the Atlantic cable
was laid it brought the shores of this great continent in physical con-
tact with Europe. A hundred years ago it took four or five months to
learn the result of an election abroad or of events abroad. Today for
the smallest unit in our currency a man can read the history of the
world for the past twenty-four hours. Not an important event takes
place on the surface of this globe that is not recorded and brought
within the limit of the humblest citizen. The man who todav earns two

214 SONS OE THE) AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

dollars a day has a greater variet}' of food upon his table than did the
first President of the United States in the White House. The humblest
and poorest citizen at the dispensary can have surgical and medical aid
for nothing that could not have been secured for any money a quarter
of a century ago. The mode of thought and the whole process of
social and civic association has changed as night merges into day. The
theory of a government is as much different in practice to what it was
in Washington's time as if it had been phrased in different terms. The
proposition that all men are equal is sound, but sometimes dangerous,
and it is talked as glibly as if men understood what it meant. People
talk about human rights and forget that no man can have a right that
has not the correlative obligation that goes with it. (Applause.) We
have swung the proposition of individual liberty until it goes way into
the air and people find themselves unattached to anything; and yet in a
way there is another line of thought, another current going on, and
that is that we attribute to government many of those moral questions
and obligations which were never intended as a part of government at
all, as if people were afraid they could not meet their individual moral
obligations to some one else and shifted to this unseen proposition of
government as if that were the only way out, concluding that it was all
right if nobody knew anything about it, and that the question of capital
and labor ought to be solved by law. Well, it will remain unsolved as
long as law is the only method sought for a solution. The question of
civic virtue has passed from a privilege to a right, from a right to an
obligation, and I want to propound this proposition. You may all have
thought about it that under our system of government, outside of the
single question of the worship of the Almighty, there is no one human
relation unaffected by the casting of a ballot. The church is exempted
from taxation because it is of moral advantage to the community, of
such a moral advantage that it exceeds the taxes ; but that had to be
voted on. Some one, somewhere, had it recorded, and yet men and
women go about as if they understood the cohesive bond and force
that makes them a part of this government. As much as I enjoyed the
invitation to come here and the compliment conveyed, I am quite truth-
ful in saying that I did not respond to it as a mere compliment; I
wanted the advantage of being for a few moments in the atmosphere
of people who were sentimentally exhilarated, whose minds and hearts
synchronize, who were not everlastingly trying to find out what X
equaled, who don't try to draw a balance of this great government in
figures, who don't believe that columns make virtue, who don't believe
that each computation of so much per capita satisfies the per capita.
And what difference does it make what each per capita is if you haven't
it? I don't care how much you have if I have enough. (Laughter.)
But I am desperately interested in knowing whether, when you got
yours, you had some method that I overlooked. (Laughter.") I have
no patience with that degree of patriotic fervor that confines its agita-
tion to rhetoric. I don't believe in anaemic virtue. I don't believe in
the man who is afraid to go out nights lest he would be tempted; I

BANQUET AT NEWARK CONGRESS. 21 5

would like to have him at least have the nerve to take a chance.
(Laughter.) I believe in the efficacy of prayer, and I would not speak
flippantly in the presence of the cloth or ladies, but I believe that you
can stay on your knees so long that you get muscle-bound, and that
you can't respond to a quick prayer for help and be able to respond to
a person in suffering than if you were in a less reverend attitude. I
don't believe in that degree of veracity that is predicated on the fear
of punishment; neither do I believe that virtue is a state of mind; if
it were, we would all be comfortable when the light was out. (Laugh-
ter.) I don't believe in resolutions that are passed after the decease
of a friend ; I don't believe that is the only thing that can be done ; I
think it is a good thing to call upon the family of the deceased and see
what you can do for them. (Applause.)

The test of virtue is not whether you make the other person happy,
but how much you inconvenienced yourself when you were doing it.
The test of generosity is not what you give, but how much you have
got left, and by a natural process of evolution we are coming to a point
where the test of citizenship is the measure of sacrifice a man will pay
for a belief in a principle of conduct (applause), and that's the lesson
of this generation. I have very pronounced political beliefs. I have
very pronounced opinions upon some of the questions existing for con-
troversy between the great parties ; but the real problem in this country
which an audience such as this can understand is the problem of num-
bers. How is it possible, with our different civilization, differences in
race, religion, belief, to have our citizenry draw their conclusions — the
major and minor premise of admitted facts? On what ground can the
educated and the uneducated man meet? On what plane can those who
are advantaged meet with those of less opportunity? What is the final
argument that can make men do these things that they want other peo-
ple to do? What is it that makes us, or should make us, test our own
citizenship before we get nervous about somebody's else? And this
question of worrying about other people is a matter of mental egotism ;
it is a sort of human alibi; something you have done that you ought
not to ; and we are so big now that people get lost in the shuffle. Men
believe they are unobserved ; men fail to understand that a thing civic-
ally is right or wrong, whether known or not, and the real test is whether
you are comfortably minded when you are alone and the light is out.
There is no trouble about being brave when the band plays ; no trouble
about being uplifted when the crowd watches ; there is no trouble about
responding to a paid committee when it says, "We demand that you do
so and so." Of course, you expect it, and after a few thoughts and
suggestions that may be you can't give up your time, and then they say,
"We insist upon it" — you having paid the expenses (laughter) — then
you give in and become a favored son, the greatest outdoor sport that
is known to man, a favored son in headlines, and then a man's mind
begins to break and he passes away and don't know it. (Laughter.)
And then his family has to hear those well-worn speeches, and the

-2l6 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

patient wife and the patient daughters applaud when he has finished,
and he thinks they mean it. No; this self-sacrifice upon the altar of
duty — I have tried it, at least I tried to try it (laughter) — is a thing that
bears analysis. Where are we going to meet it? Where is the initia-
tive in this country for a thought movement? Not in a crowd; don't
think they follow ; but in an individual mind, where belief means con-
duct, and where that conduct and that belief gets another mind and
those minds group and that group becomes a movement. Officialdom in
this country does not run it; officialdom is the guard that civilized
people have to keep a lot of people from doing as much harm as they
would like to.

There are no affirmative virtues in government. Government fur-
nishes opportunity for the people to be good if they want to, and re-
stricts the activities of men who are otherwise inclined; therefore this
country, as we often say, without quite reasoning why, is a country of
sentiment. This is not a nation of law and order at all ; it is a nation
•of precept and example ; a nation that can't be driven, but can be
•coaxed; a nation that has belief when some one says it should not; a
nation that moves backward. In thought we are negative today in this
•country. When we started we were affirmative, and I will give an illus-
tration. I am not talking politics; I would not talk that under any cir-
cumstances. (Laughter.) There has just been loaned through New
York five hundred millions of dollars within the last few weeks to the
Allies. That is Europe's acknowledgment of our supremacy, our finan-
cial leadership. That loan could not have been executed if the country
liad not been on a gold basis. This country would not today have been
on a gold basis, in my judgment, if Mr. Bryan had not said it should
not be. (Applause and laughter.) The party to which I belong hadn't
the nerve to come out openly on this silver proposition ; they merely
classified it and stowed it away, and it was not until some one came out
and said that it was impossible, that the American people got up and
said that the nation should not be on a silver basis. And today those
who are going to best prepare this nation in the best sense are the
people who say it shall not be prepared, and I welcome them and I hope
they will all be given strength ; they believe it and I hope they will con-
tinue to believe it. But they are going to make it impossible to crystal-
lize their belief in their own kind of conduct, because it is not human
nature to invite trouble when we can't either run or fight (applause),
and nations are not any different than plain, ordinary every-day people.
They seem bigger because there is more of it, but they are just the
same; they are not any braver in a crowd than they are when they are
alone; they are just noisier; they get excited more quickly and then
they make more trouble, and the greatest reform ever brought about in
this country is undoing deliberately what we did in a hurry. We never
reform ab initio; we do something we ought not to do, and then we ex-
ploit ourselves by undoing it, and that makes patriots ; that makes candi-
dates; that makes elections, and we are approaching a time now — you

BANQUET AT NEWARK CONGRESS. 2IJ

"have been through it several times — when this nation is going to be
hung over an abyss of despair — up to election time — and then be pulled
back (laughter) and saved. Nobody has been smart enough to ruin
this nation. And why? Because there are sentimental people in this
world. If I had to choose between being loved and respected, I would
rather be loved, because I can buy respect, and no man gathers friends
who is not capable of being a friend. Most everybody understands
everybody else, but they just don't tell them all they know. Nobody
fools everybody; we just fool ourselves, and we go about our way
thinking that no one understands our weaknesses ; but they do ; they
just don't tell us. and men go and come in sort of a sublimated atmos-
phere, as if there was nothing else there but themselves, and there is
not up there.

Now this, in a way, is rambling; but it brings me to the thought I
want to leave with you. I believe in it as sincerely as I believe in the
valor of the man whose name I bear, that the foundation, the real foun-
dation, strength of this government is in just such organizations as
these represented here tonight. (Applause.) I believe that the affirma-
tive thought, the only kind that really amounts to anything, comes from
people who have an emotion before they have an argument, who have a
sentiment before they talk, who have something inside of them that
they can't just exactly express, but for which they would die, which
makes for self-respect, which makes the right to be good and looked
up to by other people. Now I don't know how to straighten out all
these things; I think T am the only semi-political speaker who does not.
No ; I don't know how to regenerate people ; I don't know how to draw
a law that can make a man reverse himself. I know all about the penal
•code, and I know that you can prevent a lot of people doing things they
ought not to do : but you cannot make them do something they ought
not if they don't want to. How are you going to make people want to
be decent? I don't know exactly how many people we should have in
the army, but I know we ought to have an army. (Applause.) I don't
know where the forts should be, but I know they are going to be. We
have been paying money and training soldiers and we are afraid to have
them give us their opinion ; we are afraid to take the expert's advice,
the advice we have paid for, lest we would have to follow it. We paid
for it: why have them if we should not be bound by our own logic?
And pretty soon a lot of these reports that have been put in cubby-holes
are going to be brought out, perhaps in a few weeks. I know of one
that was filed a few weeks ago, that said if we go to Mexico in a puni-
tive way we would have to go back, and if we go in any other way we
will intervene. That report is coming out in a few days, and there are
a lot of things we are going to know that we only thought about.

With regard to this proposition of a hyphenated citizen : If you take
a man who has served in an army on the other side, put a uniform on
him for one week and he will forget the other one, and I would rather
have him wear a uniform than read all the tracts that are distributed

at Ellis Island. And no line of preparation is going to be complete that
does not make every man before they can secure the right of citizen-
ship perform this duty really, not fictitiously, so that everybody can see
him do it. (Applause.) That gets it off his mind. The people that
are most opposed to preparedness are not ready to be prepared them-
selves. The price of citizenship is not what it will do for you. Now,
do you know the remedy for all this? I'm going to tell you; and I
only know one, and it is a sentimental one. and with this I close. You
good people are going down to Princeton tomorrow, I believe. I went
there last fall, on Labor Day, to sort of reorganize myself. I wanted
to try to get into an atmosphere where everybody was not cross at
everybody else, and where I could wander around the buildings and
revive my spirits and sort of reorganize myself mentally and morally.
And as I stepped off the train I heard the chimes of a near-by church
playing popular airs, and I wandered through the old buildings, listen-
ing to those airs, and then I went to the little old cemetery— Princeton's
Westminster Abbey — and I saw the graves of Wistar, P>urr, McClain,
Cleveland — the great spirits that have been there — and I saw the stones
marked with the names of men who had fought the battle of life in
foreign lands — those who had been in the church and the laity of all
professions — and as I leaned against the stone in revery I heard the
chimes change, and from a popular air they merged into "My Country,
'Tis of Thee," and I was conscious of a tear which coursed down my
cheek and dropped upon the stone upon which I was leaning, and I saw
that the headstone was that of a young soldier, and I knew then I did
not require law ; I knew then what was the remedy — My Country, 'Tis
of Thee. Emotion, a tear, life, and that's what preparedness means —
My Country, 'Tis of Thee. (Cheers and prolonged applause.)

REMARKS BY TOASTMASTER.

Compatriots, with this magnificent address by our good friend, the
formal part of our program will be brought to a close ; but it seems to
me that it would be most appropriate before we leave this room to all
join in singing the hymn which he has quoted so eloquently, "My Coun-
try. 'Tis of Thee," and after that I am going to ask our good friend,
Doctor Kirbye, President of the Iowa Society, to dismiss us with a
benediction. I want to remind you that we are going to Princeton
tomorrow and to Trenton and we hope you will all go with us. It is
going to be a wonderful experience and a great inspiration, and we
beg of you, as many as possible, to join us tomorrow morning at the
terminal of the Pennsylvania Railroad, just half a block east of this
hotel, at nine-forty.

(The hymn, "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," was then sung.)
Doctor Kirbye then pronounced the benediction, after which the
Toastmaster announced, at request of the President General, that a
meeting of the Board of Trustees would be held in that room imme-
diately after adjournment.

SOCIAL FUNCTIONS AT NEWARK CONGRESS. 2XO.

CHURCH SERVICES AND OTHER FUNCTIONS AT
NEWARK.

On Saturday evening, May 13, delegates and lady guests arrived at
the Robert Treat Hotel were informally received by the New Jersey
Committee. On Sunday afternoon patriotic services were held in
Trinity Episcopal Church, with a sermon by Bishop Edwin S. Lines,
Chaplain of the New Jersey Society, reviewing the Colonial history of
Newark.

In the evening exercises were held at the Robert Treat Hotel, con-
ducted by Rev. Dr. Kirbye. Past President General Thruston delivered
an address on "The Origin and Evolution of the Flag," illustrated by
about fifty reproductions in silk of flags of different periods. To the
address as heretofore delivered at the Portland Congress and published
in the National Year Book for 1915, Mr. Thruston added some facts
since discovered, and mentioned in particular the following references
to "Standards and Colors," found by Gen. Philip Reade among the
Anthony Wayne papers at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia :

Vol. XXI, Wayne MSS., p. 89: From Pittsburg, 13 Sept., 1792,
Wayne wrote to H. Knox, Sec'y War, Phil^ : —

"Standards, Battn and Camp Colors are much wanted for parade and
manceuvering."

P. 112, Vol. XXI., Wayne MSS., 21 Sept., 1792, gives letter from
Sec'y K. to W., page 4 of which — extract :

"There were four excellent large standards forwarded the last year
for the first regt. (Lt. Col. Josiah Harmon), and the second regt. (Maj.
David Strong) and for the two regts. of (pa.) levies. They are now-
packed up at Fort Washington (Cincinnati).

"With some change of colouring as to denote the Sub Legions, they
would answer perfectly for Sub Legionary standards. They were of
silk, and were expensive; battalion colours shall be prepared and also
camp colours.

"The Legionary Standard, if approved by the President of the United
States ought to be the representation of a bald Eagle as large as life,
formed of Silver. If this idea should not be adopted, something of
the flagg kind will be devised."

Vol. XXI, p. 118, Hdqr. Pittsburg, 23 Sept., 1792. General Order by
Wayne : —

"The Qr. Air. Genl., (James O'Hara), will furnish sixteen Camp
Colours the same distinguishing colours with those of the four Sub
Legions ; i. e., four White ; four Red ; four Yellow, and four Green ;
all to be painted and marked on each side thus ; 1st S. L., U. S. ; 2nd
S. L., U. S.; 3rd S. L., U. S.; 4th S. L-, U. S. To be each 2 feet
square, — the poles 8 feet high."

Vol. XXV, Wayne MSS., P. 123 : Legionville, 30 March, 1793, Wayne
to Knox, Sec'y War:

"You promised to order and forward certain Sublegionary distinctive
decorations, also a Legionary Standard and Sub Legionary and Bat-
talion Colours; but I have not seen or heard anything further of these
necessary articles.

J220 SONS OF THE) AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

"Do forward them : they shall not be lost, and we really want them
for maneuvering."

Knox to Wayne, 6 April, 1793 :

"There are four elegant new silk standards at Fort Washington
which were provided in the year 1791, and which were never used, and
which I believe you will consider as answering the purpose of Sub
Legionary Standards."

Vol. XXVIII, p. 29: Wayne Manuscript: Hd. Qrs., Hobson's Choice,
25 July, 1793-
Parole Cork. Countersign, Cornwallis :

"The Quartermaster General will immediately cause the words 1st
Regiment: 2nd Regiment: 1st Levies: 2d Levies on the four Division
Standards to be obliterated, — and substitute in their place 1st Sub
Legion : 2d Sub Legion : 3d Sub Legion : 4th Sub Legion.

''He will also procure the proper decorations and cases for each of
them, the finest possible."

Vol. XXVIII, P. 76: Ft. Hamilton, 16 Aug., 1793, Wilkinson to
Wayne.

"To Capt. (Howell or Thomas) Lewis (3d Rifle Batt" 3d Sub Le-
gion) I have committed the Standards of the late 1st and 2d Regiments
with orders to perish with his whole detachment, or deliver them in
safety to your Excellency's hands."

On Monday, at 1 o'clock, the lady guests accompanying the delegates,
about no in all, were entertained at luncheon at the hotel. Mrs. Wil-
liam dimming Story, Mrs. Raynor, President Adams, and President
General Woodworth made brief addresses.

In the afternoon, from 4 to 6 o'clock, Past President General Franklin
Murphy gave a reception at his home in honor of the Congress.

In the evening an elaborate reception was given in honor of the
National Society officers in the ball-room. The principal feature of
the occasion was an exhibition of the Ritual of The Washington Guard,
written and conducted by the Governor General of the Guard, Com-
patriot John Lenord Merrill.

Tuesday afternoon, following the adjournment of the Congress, the
delegates and guests were taken on an automobile trip to Washington's
Headquarters at Morristown and to Eagle Rock. In the evening an
elaborate banquet was given by the New Jersey Society, as described
on a previous page.

TRIP TO PRINCETON AND TRENTON.

On Wednesday, May 17, members of the Congress and ladies accom-
panying them were the guests of the New Jersey Society on a visit to
Princeton and Trenton. The journey was made by special train, leav-
ing Newark at 9.45 in the morning and returning there late in the
afternoon. At Princeton the party was received in Nassau Hall by
Rev. Sylvester Beach, D. D., and Dean William Francis Magie, of
Princeton University. The Dean welcomed the Sons of the American

TABLET ON GRANITE MONUMENT AT TRENTON BARRACKS.

Revolution to Princeton and briefly reviewed the history of the uni-
versity and its part during the Colonial and Revolutionary period.
Doctor Beach told of the battles of the Revolution at Princeton and in
vicinity and of some of the important operations of the British and
American troops in New Jersey. A visit was made to the tomb of
John Witherspoon and other eminent patriots in the old burying ground.

Arriving at Trenton about 2 o'clock, the party marched from the
railroad station to the Revolutionary Barracks, escorted by the Borden-
town Military Cadets. After a lunch at the Barracks, there was un-
veiled with appropriate ceremonies a bronze tablet, on a granite monu-
ment about 10 feet high, presented by Past President General Thruston.
Below the tablet are the words : "Erected under the auspices of the
Sons of the American Revolution in National Congress assembled,
Trenton, New Jersey, May 17, 1916." As the inscription reads, the
tablet is "erected to commemorate that noble spirit of justice displayed
by General Washington after his capture of Trenton in December, 1776,
in returning to both the Whig and Tory alike their personal effects, of
which they had been ruthlessly plundered by the British and Hessian
troops after their capture of Fort Washington and during their inva-
sion of the State of New Jersey. The loot was stored in the churches,
jail, court-house, and old barracks, which buildings had been used as
quarters by the foreign troops. This magnanimous act won many to
the support of the American cause and secured to him the perpetual
love and admiration of his countrymen."

Brief remarks were made by President Adams, of the New Jersey
Society, and Mr. Thruston. The monument was accepted by the Mayor
of Trenton. President General Wentworth spoke on some of the
characteristics of Washington and on the work of the Society; and the
exercises concluded with a dedicatory prayer by Rev. Dr. J. Edward
Kirbve, President of the Towa Societv.
