PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRTIETH ANNUAL CONGRESS
OF
THE NATIONAL SOCIETY OF THE SONS OF
THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
HELD AT THE HOTEL STATLER, DETROIT, MICH.,
MAY 19 AND 20, 1919
The Congress was called to order at io a. m. by the President Gen-
eral, Louis Annin Ames.
The Chair: The Thirtieth Annual Congress of the National Society
of the Sons of the American Revolution is now in session. We will be
led in prayer by the Chaplain General, Rev. Dr. Lee S. McCollester.
The Chaplain General : Let us pray. Almighty God, our Heavenly
Father, as we come together in this session for conference, first of all
we would turn to Thee with gratitude in our hearts for the blessings
which Thou has bestowed upon us in the days that are past. We thank
Thee for the long history of our country, for its ideals, its noble men,
its true service to humanity. We thank Thee for its course onward in
the service of the world and its enlarging usefulness in the cause of
humanity and free government. Gathering here from many States, rep-
resenting different organizations, we bring Thee our thanks for those
who have preceded us in the long years, our forefathers, who, with
their high ideals and their spirit of sacrifice, served their day in places
along the New England coast and inland, wherever they might be
called, and who have given to us the blessings and the memories and
the hopes which we enjoy. We are thankful for our Nation today.
We return to Thee our gratitude that Thou hast raised up in these
latter days men with the same spirit and the same courage and the
same ideals as those who founded our country, and who have gone
forth to service on land and sea, at home and on foreign soil, and have
served the cause of democracy and righteousness. We thank Thee,
Father, for the sacrifice of some, and here today in silence we refer to
those who lie in foreign soil. Be Thou our guide amidst the sorrows
and fill our hearts with thankfulness for those who gave the utmost in
the service of our country and for our common good. We rejoice as
these boys come home from overseas. May we receive them with grati-
tude and thanksgiving, being glad for what they have done and feeling
in our hearts a new responsibility to carry forward the work for which
they have fought. Be with those who are in authority in our country,
at home and abroad. Give them wisdom. Give them vision. Give
them a consecration to their high ideals which have always stirred in
77
y8 sons of the; American revolution.
the heart and work of our Nation. Be with us here at home. Be with
all whom we love, wherever they may be. Guide us in this meeting
here during these days, and may we not only feel the good fellowship
as we come together representing our different Chapters, but may we
organize some new plans which may make for better service to our
country, that we may thereby help to make a better world, in which
permanent peace may live and in which true democracy may thrive.
Bless the officers of this organization; bless those who guide and direct,
and bless us each and all, and by and by may Thy will on earth be
done, may the true and loyal men who have served their honorable
duties to the right and to the world gather in that house not made with
hands, Thy Kingdom, where Thou hast gathered those who made for
righteousness and truth. May we go with the flag and with the spirit
of the Nation, and do Thou, the God of nations and individuals, bless
and save us, and at length bring the peace which the world needs over
every land, and may wars cease from off the face of the earth. As
Sons of the Fathers and as children of Almighty God, wilt Thou be
with us forever more. Amen.
The Chair: The Chair inquires if the Honorable Albert E. Sleeper,
Governor of Michigan, is in the room, or his representative? We know
that this is a day of days for the city of Detroit. We know that the
Mayor of Detroit, the heart of the Mayor of Detroit, is with the hearts
of all Detroiters, and he is extending the welcome of Detroit to the
returning boys of Detroit ; otherwise he would be with us ; but he has
sent some one as his personal representative, one that we are very glad
to welcome, the Honorable Clarence E. Wilcox, corporation counsel,
who will now extend to us the greetings of the city of Detroit. (Ap-
plause.)
GREETING BY HON. CLARENCE E. WILCOX.
Mr. Wilcox : Mr. Chairman and members of the Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution, it is indeed a very great pleasure to have
the privilege of welcoming you to Detroit. We have looked forward
with anticipation to this meeting by your society, and we feel confident
that great inspiration and benefit will come to us all because of it. It
seems that Detroit is peculiarly fortunate in the time it has selected to
have your Congress held in our city. There may be those here today
who will recall that just twenty years ago, at the successful close of the
Spanish- American War, your Congress for that year was held in this
city, and many of the men in attendance at that time were prominent
in that great conflict ; and yet, in these intervening years, how many
have gone? Among them our own Mayor Maybury, Governor Pingree,
Hon. Thomas W. Parmelee, Gen. Russell A. Alger, and others. Today
you are met in Detroit at the end of a great, victorious war; yet a year
ago the world trembled, as the guns of the German Empire sent their
shot and shell against that wavering line extending from Calais to
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 79
Switzerland, which was struggling there to uphold those principles of
freedom and liberty which your forefathers fought for and established ;
so that, in this great period of remodeling and reconstructing, our
minds turn instinctively to that great struggle of 1776 — a struggle which
has sanctified to us Americans the name "Revolution." Here in Detroit
we regret that we were not a part of one of the Thirteen Colonies.
That might be an idle wish from some cities, from many cities, for at
that time they were but an unbroken wilderness; but in Detroit it was
different. Judged by human standards, we were already an ancient
city, having passed threescore years and ten; in fact, some of our
neighboring cities have been wont to say in times past that we were so
old that we were dead ; but as to that last we do not hear so much
recently. Detroit was founded in 1701 by a band of French settlers
and continued under French control until 1760. During that period
one of the interesting experiences of the settlers was the standing of a
twelve months' siege by the Indians under Chief Pontiac, and you may
see at the head of Belle Isle an island where the Indians gathered in
their canoes to attack the town of Detroit. Detroit in 1760 was ceded
to Great Britain, and its territory was then much greater than now, as
it extended as far west as the Pacific; but Detroit has generally given
up that territory in order to make possible San Francisco and St. Louis
and Chicago. During that period the Ohio River was the border line
between the Indians and the French and British. Detroit, together with
Niagara, formed a key to this great territory, where many important
battles and Indian skirmishes took place. By the treaty of 1783, at the
close of the Revolutionary War, Detroit passed to the United States;
but the inclination on the part of all the people who have once lived in
Detroit seems to be to remain here; so, contrary to the terms of this
treaty, the British continued to hold Detroit for seventeen years, or
until 1796. In 1812 the territory was surrendered to the British by
General Hull, but in 1813 it was regained by the American forces; so
that we feel that while we have not those historic things to mention
that the cities of the past have, we still feel that we are strictly an
American city with a historic past. Detroit has also contributed her
share of the men who have stirred the Nation. Among those might be
mentioned a Postmaster General, a Secretary of the Navy, a Secretary
of War, and a member of the Supreme Court of the United States,
and it is not the fault of some of our citizens that we cannot include a
Presidency in that list. (Laughter.) So Detroit feels that she is hon-
ored in having served under those three great flags— the French, the
British, and the American— which during the year just passed have floated
together as one flag against the tide of Prussian militarism. (Applause.)
During the present struggle Detroit has played an important part indus-
trially. Her manufacturers responded unanimously, and as a result
great stores of munitions, artillery supplies, liberty motors, aeroplanes
and hospital supplies were provided. There were maintained here three
barracks— Fort Wayne, the one at the Eagle plant, and the one at the
80 SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Aviation Field — and the U. S. General Hospital, where today over six
hundred wounded soldiers are being taken care of. In the Liberty
Loan, Detroit has been among the first of the large cities to go over
the top, and in the Victory Loan campaign just closed, with a quota of
$55,000,000 to raise, Detroit the first day subscribed for $63,000,000.
(Applause.) I would not have you think that these matters are men-
tioned boastfully, but only for the purpose of explaining to you that
Detroit must have a real, sincere, patriotic interest in those ideals for
which your organization stands. Detroit has been credited with being
first in a great many things, commercially ; but this is not really enough
for any city. She has been favored, richly favored, with an increase
in area, wealth, and population; but this alone is not enough. Frankly,
we want to confide in you that this is not enough. Our ambition here
is to be known as a clean city, as a city with high civic ideas, a place
where it is safe to rear fresh-souled childhood, a place where young
men can stay clean and sober and old men can pass their time in peace
and happiness. This is the spirit of Detroit that welcomes you here
today and trusts that you may find in this welcome the warm hand of
fellowship given by a host to an honored guest. Thank you. (Ap-
plause.)
The Chair: Compatriots, Brigadier General Charles A. Coolidge,
U. S. A. (retired), and President of the Michigan Society, Sons of
the American Revolution, will extend the greetings of that Society.
(Applause.)
WELCOME BY BRIGADIER GENERAL CHARLES A.
COOLIDGE (RETIRED).
General Coolidge : Mr. President General and Compatriots of the
Sons of the American Revolution, on behalf of the Michigan Society
of the Sons of the American Revolution, in whose name the invitation
for your coming here was extended (the Detroit Chapter has the honor
of providing the local entertainment), I bid you welcome to this great
and growing city, whose prosperity is typified by its vast commercial
interests yet only in their primitive growth. We propose to show you
a few of the prominent points of interest during your official visit here.
If you really desire to see and investigate all our attractions, you must
prolong your visit and remain a week or two, which would amply repay
you, and if you would take in the resources and phenomena of this
peninsula settled by Marquette, La Salle, and Cadillac, I freely offer
you the privilege of roaming over my entire jurisdiction and assure
you a hearty welcome from the five other societies of the Sons of the
American Revolution. If you have time and opportunity, I would ad-
vise you to take the trip up the St. Clair River to Port Huron and
through Lake Huron to St. Clair Flats and to the Sault Ste. Marie
Canal, which is one of the most wonderful canals in the world and is
a big sight. You can then go on up Lake Superior, to the copper and
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 8l
iron region, clear to Duluth, and return to Michigan again. If you
want to go by rail or trolley to see the automobile industry, of which
you have not seen enough, after you get through here, you can go to
Flint and Pontiac by trolley. You can go to Wyandotte and see the
salt works and the alkali works, which are the largest in the world.
You can go to Ann Harbor to see our Michigan University, or you can
go to Lansing, the great agricultural colony. You can go to Battle
Creek to see Camp Custer and the food sanitarium, where you can get
your health restored. You can go to Grand Rapids, the furniture city
of the United States. You can go to Kalamazoo, noted for its match
factory, its asparagus, and its fruit ; you can go up the Sound to Sagi-
naw, where they make wonderful plate-glass, and to Port Huron, where
they make sugar out of the sugar-beet, which you had to use for your
coffee and tea when cane sugar was not allowed. You can go to Trav-
erse City, Petosky, and Charlevoi, the upper route of the summer re-
sorts, which are very agreeable and beautiful places to visit. I leave
Detroit to my Compatriot, Dr. Knight, and would advise you, if you
have rheumatism, to go to our Mt. Clemens bath, and also to hear the
million-dollar libel suit between Mr. Ford and the Chicago Tribune.
(Laughter.) Unfortunately, Michigan is a dry State (laughter), and
you will be compelled to drown your thirst in the waters of oblivion —
a rather different thing from what you had to do twenty years ago, I
assure you, when, although I was in Chicago, I came here. But we
will all be in the same boat the first of July, so it is well to grow used
to the swish of the waves. The activities of our actual warfare in
Europe seem to have terminated, for the present at least ; but even a
League of Nations cannot bring eternal peace, and it is essential that
the American Nation should stand for preparedness in the future, and
not be caught childlike and bland the second time. (Applause.) Bol-
shevism is exerting its tenets and its sway among us and we must en-
deavor to instill into our alien citizens the spirit of Americanism, true
democracy, and the patriotism for which our armies in Europe fought,
and there is no greater organization or more powerful society to settle
these difficulties than the Sons of the American Revolution and their
descendants. (Applause.)
Compatriot Bates : May I be permitted to make a congratulatory
announcement, known to but two persons in this town, and I hope that
the Detroit press will make a note of it. At the meeting of the Naval
and Military Order of the Spanish-American War, at Philadelphia, on
Saturday, the 17th, our compatriot, General Coolidge, was elected Com-
mander-in-Chief of that order. I think we should congratulate him.
(Applause.)
The Chair : I take great pleasure in calling to the platform Dr.
Stephen H. Knight, beloved President of the Detroit Chapter. (Ap-
plause.)
82 SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
WELCOME BY DR. STEPHEN H. KNIGHT, PRESIDENT OF
THE DETROIT CHAPTER.
Dr. Knight: You don't expect a doctor to make a speech; anyway,
all my thunder has been stolen by our good lawyer over here and our
noted townsman. However, it is up to me to make a little address of
welcome for the Detroit Chapter, the Detroit Chapter being the one
which has really had the hard work of getting things ready for you;
and if you do not find everything exactly as you want it, just kick at
me. I have a few knives and things left in my kit, so that if you kick
too hard, why, I will have something to kick you with, and you know
it says in the Good Book not to kick against the pricks.
I could go back a little bit further than our good corporation counsel
here, and I am glad he did not go back of 1700. You know, in 1670
the first white man trod these wastes. Joliet, in 1670, sailed up this
beautiful river which we call the Detroit River, and which we think is
as beautiful as the Hudson or the Rhine, or the Chicago River, as that
may be (laughter) ; it certainly flows the right way. That reminds me
of a little story I heard of a Bostonian — and, by the way, I was born
within sixteen miles of Boston and fled that country to come out where
we could get plenty of air and room. A Bostonian was floating grace-
fully down the river, and after he had floated a number of miles, he
noticed that he still kept floating the same way, and he said to a native,
"How soon does the tide go the other way?" "Well," said the fellow,
"I have been here nigh on thirty years and I never saw it run but this
way all the time;" so, instead of floating back, he had to row against
the tide.
Can you imagine, in those early days, before the white man had pol-
luted this soil, as we say — can you imagine what that Detroit River
might have looked like, with the beautiful trees, the scenery, and the
island in that river? You will see it a little bit when you go to Belle
Isle. Then, the story I am going to tell you now is connected more or
less with Belle Isle.
When, in 1670, Joliet and his companions came here they were re-
ligious men; they had been trained in the church and been trained to
war over on the other side, and when they found, at the foot of what
we call Woodward Avenue, a stone image which represented the great
Manitou of the Indians, in their religious zeal they broke that image in
pieces and cast it away. When the Red Man came again and found his
image destroyed, he naturally was very much discouraged, and the
great Manitou came to them and said, "Gather the pieces together and
take them down to the foot of the island," what we now call Belle Isle;
and so they took them down there, and he changed them into snakes,
in order that his resting place might be kept free from the white man,
and for a long time snakes abounded in that beautiful island, in order
that the great Manitou might have his revenge on the white man.
Then what did the white man do? He is always practical, even if not
PROCEEDINGS OE DETROIT CONGRESS. 83
sentimental or religious; so he bought a lot of hogs and turned them
into the island, and they ate the snakes, and for a while our beautiful
Belle Isle was called Hog Island ; and then the city bought it, after the
snakes had been cleared away, and turned it into a park. Then they
passed a prohibition law, and the snakes have been taken away, even
from the city of Detroit; so we can all wander about free and easy,
knowing that nothing can harm us.
Detroit was always great on the welcome, and if you noticed the
streets today, you noticed how crowded they were. We have tried our
best to advertise the coming of the Sons of the American Revolution,
and you see what we have accomplished — the streets are crowded today
to welcome you. (Laughter and applause.) They also welcome some
others home, our own boys. Detroit sent at least sixty thousand, at a
conservative estimate. Thirty thousand were taken in the draft and
the other thirty thousand by voluntary enlistment in the Naval Reserve
and other branches ; so at least sixty thousand went away from Detroit
to the war. Of that sixty thousand, some nine hundred will never
come back; and as the boys come home, that is the great welcome that
we are giving today, and we are glad you are here, in one way, to see
that welcome, although it may crowd the city a little bit. We are glad
for you to see that welcome, because it is partially a welcome to you
also, because we represent the same principles that they represent.
They went away to save the face of the earth from cruelty and despot-
ism, and our fathers came over here to save the face of the earth from
cruelty and despotism.
Now, then, in the name of the Detroit Chapter, I bid you welcome.
If anything does not go to your pleasure, let us know and we will try
and make it so. I would say that we want you all to attend the luncheon
of the Louisa St. Clair Chapter, which has provided generously for us.
We would also like to have you go to the reception of Colonel Alger
and also on the ride. Plenty of transportation will be provided for all.
There will be plenty of good things to eat in the other room, and we
hope that you will have a very good time. I have also a little letter in
my pocket which I received this morning. There is another small
Chapter of the ladies which is known as the Fort Pontchartrain Chap-
ter. Do you know that Fort Pontchartrain was named for that great
Frenchman, Count Pontchartrain; and right below you, just a little
ways below, was Fort Pontchartrain. I want to say again, you are
standing on historic ground. We are no new place; we are not nuevo
rich, although we are a little richer than we were twenty years ago,
when you were here the last time, and we are in a bigger hotel.
To say that we make more automobiles than all the rest of the coun-
try put together, that we go over the top the first day for the Liberty
Loan— those are mere bagatelle; we pride ourselves on being a city
with a history, and part of it was right on this spot. Just below us was
the Fort Pontchartrain for which this Chapter was named; just a little
down the river Perry fought his victory on Lake Erie, and won. Now
84 SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
we did not have very many things to boast of in the War of 1812 —
General Jackson and the men who fought on the ocean — but we fought
right out here on Lake Erie, and Perry's victory on Lake Erie gave
this part of the country to the United States. Had the British won that
victory, Detroit would have been Canada instead of the United States,
and likewise all this great western territory.
So the ladies of the Fort Pontchartrain Chapter send their greetings
to the Sons of the American Revolution and wish them a happy and
good time. I thank you, gentlemen. (Applause.)
RESPONSE BY THE PRESIDENT GENERAL.
The Chair : To Mr. Wilcox, the representative of His Honor the
Mayor, and Compatriots General Coolidge and Dr. Knight, I desire to>
say it affords me great pleasure on behalf of the Congress to accept the
welcome that has come out of your hearts. Many of us have come
back here after twenty years to renew our youth. We have come back
knowing the kind of a welcome we would receive. We have all come
feeling that we are a part of Detroit, a part of Michigan. This is a
family gathering, as you will see.
Looking out of the windows of this hotel, you see the boys who have
come back. They are the boys of every compatriot here. It was a
Detroit boy who, in the trenches, aided after an accident a lad who had
been in my home for three years ; so it is impossible for me to make
any distinction between the Detroit boy and the New York boy.
A little lad who stood on the sidewalk last night said : "Papa's regi-
ment is coming back tomorrow, but papa is in France, and he is not
coming back, but papa's regiment is." The boy who told that story was
a Brooklyn boy whose father was an officer in a Michigan regiment.
So, you see, these are all our boys. They all belong to all of us. They
are all Americans.
One of the speakers suggested that he wished that Michigan had
been one of the Thirteen Original Colonies. In the great army that
went over seas some were regulars, some were volunteers, some were
in the reserve. Michigan was not among the first Thirteen Original
Colonies, but she was in the reserve of the Colonies, for what would
the American Revolution have been if its achievements had not been
sealed and safeguarded by the War of 1812. The War of 1812 finished
the war of the American Revolution, and in that latter war Michigan
played an important part. (Applause.) The battle on Lake Erie de-
termined more than any other event its successful conclusion. In ex-
pressing to you the gratitude, the joy, and the thanks of the National
Society of the Sons of the American Revolution for these greetings, I
assure you that you have made us feel at home. We are glad to be
here.
The Chair : I desire to extend the welcome of this Congress to the
Past Presidents General who are here, and I ask Past Presidents Gen-
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 85
eral Nelson A. McClary, R. C. Ballard Thruston, and Newell B. Wood-
worth kindly to come to the platform, where seats are waiting for them.
The compatriots called on responded to the Chairman's request and
were greeted with applause.
The Chair: Before I had the opportunity of adding the name of
Past President General Wentworth he arose. I wanted to say that
while he is a Past President General, he is also one of the Executive
Board, and I was going to ask him to come up in his double capacity
to occupy two chairs and give him two welcomes, but he took that all
away from me and didn't let me complete what I had to say, but the
welcome is double for him, just the same. (Applause.)
The Chair : The Committee on Credentials has already been ap-
pointed and it has assured me that there is a quorum present, and with
that assurance I will not ask for a temporary report, at this moment,
because I desire that we shall proceed with the business of the day in
as quick order as possible, giving due consideration and attention to all
details.

The Chair: In order that we may expedite business, I appoint two
session committees, if it meets with your approval. These committees
will be known as the Committee on Official Reports and Recommenda-
tions and the Committee on Resolutions. As chairman of the first
committee, I nominate Nelson A. McClary, of Illinois, Past President
General; Col. Fred M. Alger, of Michigan; Dr. Horace N. Allen, of
Ohio; Judge Harvey F. Remington, of Rochester, N. Y., and Dr.
George C. F. Williams, of Connecticut. On the Committee on Resolu-
tions, I nominate Compatriot R. C. Ballard Thruston, Past President
General, representing Kentucky; Dr. Stephen H. Knight, of Michigan;
President Carl M. Vail, of New Jersey; Admiral George W. Baird, of
the District of Columbia; Compatriot Walter B. Hopping, of New
York. Are there any objections to the appointment of these commit-
tees? Not hearing any, the appointments will stand.
I ask the compatriots, as they rise and address the Chair, to announce
not only their names, but the States from which they come. I recog-
nize Compatriot Clarke, President of the Virginia Society.
Compatriot Arthur B. Clarke, President of the Virginia Society,
S. A. R. : At our annual meeting there was a little poem of four verses,
composed by Mr. Rosewell Page, brother of the Ambassador to Italy,
and read by him, and since reference has been made to the boys who

will not come back and who stayed in France, I looked in my pocket
and found that I had a copy of this poem, which I will take the privi-
lege of reading:
"Did you," I asked of an oldish man,
"Have any son in France?"
"Three," said the oldish man to me,
In tone straight set like a lance.
"Will they come back, now that peace has come,
Will they return apace?"
"They'll stay there," he said to me,
Though calm and placid his face.
To this I said to the oldish man,
"They have fallen in love in France?"
"They have fallen for love of her," he said.
In tone as clear as his glance.
"Were they together?" I helplessly asked.
"No ; wide apart they stood,
Chateau-Thierry, and San Mihiel,
And John in the Argonne Wood !"
"Are you, dear sir, not sorry they went?"
"Not I, by God, I'm glad.
The one vain thing I now regret,
They lie away from their dad !"
President General Ames then delivered his annual address, as follows :
ANNUAL ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT GENERAL.
Another year has gone by since last we met in Congress assembled —
a year that has brought perplexities to organizations as well as to na-
tions and individuals.
A year ago this Nation of ours was engaged in a holy war, having
pledged its manhood and treasure without limit for the preservation of
those principles of liberty, justice, equality, and progress for which our
American Revolutionary forefathers pledged their lives, their fortunes,
and their sacred honor.
Over 12 per cent of our entire membership have answered the call to
the colors. On the field of battle, in the camps, and at home, 166 of
our compatriots in the past twelve months have answered the "last
summons." These loyal Americans of our membership who have "jour-
neyed on," during life enriched our Society, endeared themselves to us,
and are now held in sacred memory because of their splendid activities,
devoted service, high character, and generous nature, prominent among
whom was that commanding figure, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, The
Great American.
On the last night of the old year, great was the sorrow that came to
our Order. From earth to heaven passed A. Howard Clark, the de-
voted and efficient Secretarv-Registrar General of the National Society
PROCEEDINGS OE DETROIT CONGRESS. 89
of the Sons of the American Revolution for over a quarter of a cen-
tury, who performed until the last day official duties with an energy
and a faithfulness that characterized his entire life. The memorial
adopted by your Executive Committee can only indicate the great esteem
and affection which he justly merited.
Progress.
We meet today, as official reports will show, better organized and
equipped, stronger financially and numerically than ever before.
Organization.
Your favorable consideration is asked for the proposed amendments
to our Constitution; one provides for a junior membership; the other
elevates the members of the National Executive Committee to Directors
General, thus giving them an official standing as members of the Con-
gress.
Patriotic Legislation.
This field of patriotic endeavor should be cultivated by our Society
and a Committee on Patriotic Legislation appointed to secure Federal
enactment of laws to enforce proper respect for the flag of our Repub-
lic, to safeguard our institutions of American freedom, to teach the
alien, and also, if necessary, the citizen, his duty to this Nation and its
people, so that the spirit of America shall be the example and the hope
of the world.
The Committee on Patriotic Legislation in the Empire State Society,
Sons of the American Revolution, placed upon the statutes of New
York State laws providing that the American flag shall on registration
and election days be displayed at every polling place; that the custody
of the Nicholas Herkimer Homestead shall be entrusted to native-born
citizens ; repealing the charter of the German-American Alliance ; pre-
venting the display in public of the red flag of anarchy; prohibiting the
building of a penal institution on the site of Fort Clinton, of the Revo-
lutionary period.
The appeal of your President General for the removal on the facade
of the New York Custom-house of the allegorical figure of Germania
bearing the shield of Kaiser Wilhelm II was acceded to by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and in place thereof the custom-house is adorned
by the symbolic figure of Belgium.
The time is ripe for a Federal enactment making it obligatory for
every newspaper enjoying special mailing privileges of our Government
to print on the editorial page of each issue, in the language of the pub-
lication, this statement of loyalty:
"We pledge allegiance to the United States flag and to the Republic
for which it stands: one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice to
all."
90 sons of the; American revolution.
It may be the part of wisdom to demand by Federal legislation that
aliens shall not be naturalized until they are sufficiently familiar with
the language of this country as to read and write good English. This
will make for Americanization.
The American's Creed.
This statement of an American citizen's duties and obligations, com-
posed by Compatriot William Tyler Page, was approved by our Na-
tional Society at its last Congress.
The report of the Committee on the Dissemination of the Creed
should have your deepest interest and hearty support.
Service Medals.
The National Society has caused to be struck bronze service medals,
to be presented to all compatriots and sons of compatriots who served
in the World War defending the liberties of civilized nations. These
medals may now be procured from the office of the Secretary General
by the various State Societies. The cost is $1.00 each. It is suggested
that the presentation be made with some formality, in the presence of
a National Society officer.
Constitution Day.
The Sons of the American Revolution again call attention to Sep-
tember 17th as the anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of
the United States and urge that our local Chapters invite the co-oper-
ation of other patriotic societies, to the end that the day may be fittingly
observed.
Certificates of Membership.
There ought to be issued to all compatriots certificates of member-
ship, and I trust the Congress will instruct each State Society to issue
same to newly elected members. These framed certificates of member-
ship find prominent places in the homes and offices of our compatriots.
They are a daily reminder of the patriotic purposes and objects of our
Society.
No report can pay fitting tribute to the efficient service rendered this
Society by the various committees and officers with whom it has been
my honor to be associated during these past twelve months.
Special mention should be made of the work of the Vice-Presidents
General.
From January 1st the office of Secretary General has been ably filled
by Compatriot William S. Parks, of the District of Columbia Society,
and Compatriot T. D. Huntting, the efficient Registrar of the Empire
State Society, has fittingly discharged the duties of the office of the
Registrar General. These gentlemen have labored industriously for the
good of our Society without salaries and without price. The salaries
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 91
of these officers have gone to Mrs. A. Howard Clark, who has greatly
assisted in the work. The hearty and sincere thanks of the Society are
due these compatriots for their great service rendered and for their
gracious acts.
The thanks of our Society are also due Compatriot Walcott, of the
Smithsonian Institution, for his generosity in putting at our disposal
rooms at the National Museum as a depository for our archives.
Americanism.
During the past year, at home and abroad, the spirit of Americanism
has been written large.
Sons of the American Revolution desire an intelligent and patriotic
membership, ever eager to champion the principles that insure life more
abundant, liberty eternal, and happiness found in service to the common
good.
To be worthy sons of noble sires, to be respected brothers of those
compatriots who in France and on Flanders Fields gave their all that
the ideals of America should triumph, our efforts should be devoted to
the end that every citizen of this democracy shall have unrestrained
opportunity to develop to complete capacity, that this Republic shall be
an exemplar for the nations of the earth in their onward march for
human rights and justice.
The Chair: This report will be referred to the Committee on Official
Reports. I would like the liberty of inquiring, from one of the local
compatriots, if they can inform the Congress the hour at which the
welcome will be extended to the returning heroes, that we may take
a recess and pay our respects to them as they march by? (Applause.)
A Compatriot: I think, Mr. President General, if you will allow one
of us to retire and find out, we will bring you the answer in a few
minutes.
The Chair : Thank you very much, if you will do so. I call for the
report of Vice-President General Charles F. Read, of Massachusetts.
Compatriot Charles F. Read: Mr. President General and Com-
patriots : I will not make a formal address. I will say that during the
past year I had some correspondence with other States, but have no
formal report to make.
The Chair: We thank Vice-President General Read for his report.
The Secretary has taken it down and it will be referred to the Com-
mittee on Official Reports. Vice-President General Williams, of New
Jersey.
Compatriot Williams: I am sorry to say that I have prepared no
written report of my official duties during the past year, but the report
will be rendered later by Compatriot Lewis B. Curtis, who will in-
corporate in his report the activities of the Vice-President , General
along the lines of increased membership. I have done what I could
92 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
during these strenuous times of the past year, in which every business
man has been more or less involved, and I am sorry that our work, as
planned out a year ago, I have been unable to prosecute to my satis-
faction. I have attended quite a number of meetings in our own State
Society, in New Jersey and others, but I have been handicapped more
or less by the troubles that we have gone through during the past year.
(Applause.)
The Chair: I will ask the members of the Color Guard to kindly
take our flags, and with your permission we will now declare a recess
until after the boys have passed by, and then you will please return
promptly to the room.
(Recess of a half hour.)
Upon reassembling called to order by President General.
The Chair : Will the compatriots kindly be seated, and we will pro-
ceed with the business of the Congress. May I inquire if Vice-Presi-
dent General Henry is in the room? He was here a minute ago. While
we are waiting for his appearance, I would like the privilege, if it
meets with your approval, of asking the Secretary General to send the
greetings and best wishes of our Congress to the Past Presidents
General who are not with us today, among whom are General Greeley,
General Porter, Mr. Marble, and Mr. Murphy. Both of the ones I
first mentioned have reached an advanced age in life, which would
make it a hardship for them to be with us, and Mr. Marble is not well
at this time. Mr. Franklin Murphy will not be able to get here, and I
know all our Past Presidents General would appreciate greatly a mes-
sage from the Congress. If that is your wish, messages will be sent.
Compatriot TorbErt, of the District of Columbia: I make a motion
that the Secretary General be directed to send a note or a telegram to
each Past President General, expressing our regards.
Compatriot Guthrie (Pa.) : I suggest that you add to that list the
name of General Hancock.
The Chair: General Hancock's name was included. The motion is
that the Secretary General be instructed to send a telegram of greet-
ing to all of the Past Presidents General who are not in attendance.
The motion was seconded and unanimously adopted.
The Chair: I have the pleasure of introducing the Vice-President
General of this district, Hon. Albert M. Henry, whom we all love.
(Applause.)
Compatriot Henry: Now, gentlemen, we invited you here with good
hearts and strength and we have worked to make this Congress a suc-
cess. There is a motto which you will find on your badge, "If you
would seek a beautiful peninsula, come here." Look around. All
you've got to do is to look around you and see whether it is all that
we have told you. In a day or two we will take you around in auto-
mobiles, and we are going to show you a beautiful place, provided it
don't rain. We are going to take you along the boulevard and show
you our magnificent automobile factories. We make more automobiles
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 93
in Detroit than in all the rest of the country put together. Now, you
ask me to speak to you about my duties as Vice-President General.
I confess I have not done much. I have been down in Ohio and seen
the Society there, talked to them about our Committee on Publicity and
new membership and all that, and I have been to Mexico, but I really
think I should have devoted more time than I have done. I hope you
will be satisfied with what we have to show you in this City of the
Straits.
The Chair : I regret to say that our Vice-Presidents General from
the Pacific Coast and from the Southern District are not with us
today. The Secretary General informs me that there is no report from
Frank W. Rawles, the Vice-President General of the Southern District,
the President of the Arkansas Society, nor have we a report as yet
from Compatriot Thomas A. Perkins, Past President of the California
Society and Vice-President General from that district. We may have
these reports in a later mail, so I will pass on to the report of the
Secretary General, Compatriot William S. Parks. (Applause.)
Secretary General Parks submitted his report.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY GENERAL.
The Secretary General has the honor to report that during the brief
period — four and one-half months — that he has served the National
Society as Secretary General he has endeavored to do his full duty
as an officer of the Society, and that during that time he has had the
hearty support of the President General, the members of the Executive
Committee, and the general officers of the Society. To them, to all
of them, he is under very great obligations, and he takes this oppor-
tunity to express his deep and earnest appreciation of their courtesy
and helpfulness. To step into the place of such an accomplished, ex-
perienced, and competent Secretary General as our beloved compatriot,
A. Howard Clark, almost without notice and without experience, was
most trying, to say the least. His aptitude, his training, and his years
of service as your Secretary General had brought to the office a ripe-
ness of judgment, a readiness of knowledge, and a capacity for accom-
plishment that can hardly be realized or appreciated except, possibly,
by comparison.
Notwithstanding the fact that more than six months have elapsed
since the armistice was signed, the activities of the National Society
have increased in volume and the work — war work — growing out of
the World War has not diminished to any appreciable extent. We have
turned our attention to the problems growing out of the war, to the
dangers that confront the stricken nations of Europe and to the
menace to our own security, to our own institutions, to our Govern-
ment. If ever there was need for such an organization as the Sons
of the American Revolution, it is now, in order that this Nation under
God should continue to have a new birth of freedom, and that govern-
94 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
ment of the people, by the people, and for the people should not perish
from the earth.
The work of the State Societies has been outlined in the quarterly
bulletins that have been issued since the last Annual Congress. Of
these, only the March Bulletin has been issued since the death of
Compatriot Clark. Reference to the special efforts need not therefore
be repeated. It might be said, however, that State Societies and local
Chapters can aid the editor to a very great extent by keeping him ad-
vised of their work and progress along patriotic lines.
Two amendments to the Constitution have been proposed for action
at this Congress. I will not read them at this time, as they have been
printed in full in the last Bulletin. At the proper time and in the
regular order of business they will be laid before the Congress.
The applications of 1,220 new members have been received during
the year ended March 31. The net gain in membership was 525. A
full and detailed report will be made by the Registrar General.
The volume of correspondence has increased enormously. The letters
cover almost every subject, appertaining to love of country, patriotism,
membership, genealogy, naturalization, the Constitution, and the cur-
rent work of the various State Societies.
The Secretary General departs somewhat from the usual practice in
refraining from making any recommendations as to the general policy
of the Society. There is room, however, for an abundance of work
and well-directed effort in promoting the interests and success of this
great organization.
In connection with his report, the Secretary General made the fol-
lowing extemporaneous remarks in reference to the late A. Howard Clark,
late Secretary General :
He rendered to this National Society the last full measure of devo-
tion. Of him it may be said, as Halleck said of Admiral Drake:
"Green be the turf above thee,
Friend of my former days ;
None knew thee but to love thee,
Nor named thee but to praise."
It was my privilege to know A. Howard Clark for 38 years. I have
been a member of the Society for a dozen years or more, and during
my incumbency of the office of President of the District of Columbia
Society he was to me a tower of strength. During the time that has
elapsed since his demise I have had the advantage of the suggestions
not only of the general officers of the Society to whom I have deferred,
but to the widow of A. Howard Clark. The office of Secretary General
and Registrar General, as you well know, has been combined in the
person of our deceased brother and friend. Mrs. Clark is an honorary
Vice-President General of the National Society of the Daughters of
the American Revolution ad vitam, is an accomplished genealogist,
and I think at one time was the Registrar General and Corresponding
Secretary General of the National Society of the D. A. R. To her I
PROCEEDINGS OE DETROIT CONGRESS. 95
have gone for assistance, and I wish to say here, before this assemblage
of our compatriots from all parts of the country, that to her is due
most of the credit in connection with the work of the Registrar General.
The duties of Secretary General I have taken up to the best of my
ability, and I have endeavored, as I said, not only to carry out the
wishes of the Society, but to do full justice to the work that has been
presented to me. It is now more than six months since the armistice
was signed, and the activities of the National Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution, as measured by the work of the Secretary Gen-
eral, have increased enormously. I do not think that any of you can
appreciate what it is to have a growing and live society, officered in
the presidency and in its committees by men who take not only a
personal interest, but who do not hesitate to aid pecuniarily the Society
in the best way to insure its success and its prosperity. We have turned
our attention to the problem growing out of the war, to the dangers
that confront the stricken nations of Europe, and to the menace to
our security, to our institutions, to our Government. If ever there
was need for such an organization as the Sons of the American Revo-
lution, it is now, that this Nation under God should continue to have
a new birth of freedom, and that government by the people should not
perish from the earth. In the report of the Registrar General his
figures and mine may not agree exactly, but the difference may be
explained by the fact that some belated reports have added to the
sum total of the figures as prepared for the Registrar General. The
volume of correspondence has increased enormously. It is a rare day
that the mail-box is not filled with letters for the attention of the
Secretary General ; and those letters, compatriots, are the most wonder-
ful collection of letters that a man could look over. They cover almost
every subject, pertaining to love of country, patriotism, general in-
formation, Americanization, naturalization, and the Constitution of the
United States and work of the State Societies and Chapters.
As I said to the President General several months ago, let us take
a leaf out of the activities, out of the things that the Daughters do;
let us organize local Chapters that promote companionship and make us
feel that we have something to live for besides correspondence with
some compatriot in a distant city about the details .of the organization.
This, to me, has been a remarkable exhibition of what the Society of
the Daughters has done, what this Society can do, and what we should
do as compatriots of this great Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution. We have more than 17,000 members on the active rolls, to
say nothing of nearly as many more who have ceased to be active in
the membership of the Society. Let us ever keep in mind the fact that
this great war, happily, has resulted as it has; that it has put us in a
position where we lead the world; that it has been made possible by
the work and by the acts and by the things that were done by the pro-
genitors of the Sons of the American Revolution. (Applause.)
96 SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
The Chair: The report of the Secretary General is received, the
thanks of the Congress tendered to him, and the report will be re-
ferred to the Committee on Official Reports, if there be no objections.
Hearing none, it is so ordered. I call for the report of the Registrar
General, Mr. Teunis D. Huntting. (Applause.)
The report was presented as follows :
REPORT OF REGISTRAR GENERAL.
Your Registrar General has the honor to report that since the
founding of this Society, just thirty years ago on April 30, 1889, more
than 32,000 applications have been approved and the same number of
members enrolled. Added to this, about five thousand supplemental
papers have been approved; so that a great fund of historical data
relating to those who established the independence of our country is
contained in the archives of our Society.
There were registered during the year ending March 31, 1919, 1,248
new members, which, with the exception of last year, has exceeded the
work of any of the previous years and is an average of more than 100
new members a month. Nineteen former members have been reinstated.
New Jersey added the greatest number this year — 141 — the Empire State
Society being next with 1 18, Louisiana following with 113, and Massa-
chusetts no new members. In the present active membership, Massa-
chusetts still takes the lead, having 1,770 active members ; New York
is second in size, having 1,594; New Jersey, 1,433; Illinois, 1,182, and
Connecticut, 1,084. The details in gains and losses for each State are
as follows :

98 SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
This makes a total active membership, after deducting losses, April
1, 1919, of 16,201, a net gain of 548. While the losses from various
causes have been large, it is gratifying to note that even from this year
of war and pestilence through which we have passed the losses by
death have been but 168 as against 258 of last year. Death has claimed
41 of our Massachusetts members and 39 from New York State. The
Society received this year the greatest shock of its existence, when, on
New Year's Eve, death claimed for its own the managing head of the
Society — the one who since 1893 had served as Secretary General and
Registrar General, and who during all those succeeding years had never
missed attendance upon these Congresses and had always been ready
to assist each incoming President General with his wide experience
and good judgment in affairs pertaining to the organization — A. Howard
Clark. A few days later the country was called upon to mourn the
death of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, ex-President of the United States
and a member of the Empire State Society. Among others who have
passed away are Admiral Thomas Perry, of Maryland; Mr. Chris-
topher Rhodes, for 25 years Secretary of the Rhode Island Society;
Hon. Herman W. Pratt, of Massachusetts; Hon. Edward Everett Roll-
ings, member of Congress, Pennsylvania Society: Hon. Hendrick
Holden and Hon. William C. Cady, of the Empire State Society; Gen-
eral Edward Davis, of the Hawaiian Society, and two of our rapidly
diminishing list of Real Sons of Revolutionary soldiers, one being the
last on record in the State of Rhode Island. Among our members who
have died honorably in the service of our country are Major Lyman
W. V. Keenon, U. S. Army, and Captain Frederick S. Towle, of the
District of Columbia Society; Captain Merritt U. Lamb, of the Michi-
gan Society: Lieutenant Walter Stillmrn, of the Nebraska Society:
Second Lieutenant George Gaylor MacNish, of the Wisconsin Society,
and Lieutenant Louis Hamilton Bayly, of the District of Columbia
Society, only son of the late William Hamilton Bayly, at one time
Vice-President General of the National Society.
A few years ago a Traveling Banner was presented by the Colorado
Society, to be awarded each year to the State numbering 100 or more
which can show the greatest net percentage of increase in membership.
This has never been won by any State in the Far South. This year,
however, Louisiana will have the honor of receiving this trophy, having
made the enormous percentage of increase of 1084/5, this Society hav-
ing- more than doubled its membership during the oast year.
The Syracuse Banner, to be awarded to that Society showing the
largest increase in membership during the year, was won last year from
New Jersey by the Massachusetts Society, who will now return it to
New Jersey, that State having a record of 141 new members.
At the beginning of this year President General Ames generously
offered to award a silk banner bearing the name of the State Society,
and to be held by it in perpetuity to each Society, that increased its
membership 20 per cent during the year ending March 31, 1919, pro-
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 99
vided the increase would not be less than 10 over the number of mem-
bers reported April i, 1918. This banner has been won by the follow-
ing States :
Louisiana, 1084/5 Per cent; Oklahoma increased 28^ per cent; Mis-
souri, 27^ per cent; Arkansas, 25 per cent; Idaho, 24 per cent'; Wis-
consin, 223/10 per cent; Utah, 21^2 per cent.
In 1901, through the generosity of the late President General Logan,
of New York, there was prepared and published a large volume con-
taining the full pedigrees of every member up to that time. This work
has been continued in the Year Book, and an abstract of each pedigree,
together with the ancestor's service, now appears in the quarterly Bul-
letin. The card catalogue of both members and ancestors is being
continued ; the card of notification of enrollment, commenced last year,
is being sent out and permits for badges have been issued to each new
member. Added to this routine work, 690 certificates of membership
have been engrossed.
Now that the war is ended and our young men are returning to their
homes, let the States redouble their efforts to secure as members many
of those whose patriotism has been awakened by the actual sacrifices
and sufferings for their country, and many of whom must be, no doubt,
eligible to membership in the Sons of the American Revolution.
Respectfully submitted,
Teunis D. Huntting,
Registrar General.
The Chair: The report of the Registrar General is received, the
thanks of the Congress extended to the Registrar General, and the
report will go to the Committee on Official Reports and Recommenda-
tions, unless otherwise advised by the Congress. Not hearing any ob-
jection, it is so ordered. Is the Treasurer General ready to report at
this time? „,
Treasurer General Burroughs: I know that the report of the Ireas-
urer General is not very interesting, because it has only figures to pre-
sent to this body of compatriots; therefore I am not going to elaborate
by any remarks before the report, in its proper form, is presented to
you. I wish, however, to say that there are a greater number of State
societies this year that have failed to pay their annual dues than for
any year I have been Treasurer, and that covers a term of ten years.
I regret to make such a report, but I think it should be put upon the
report of the Treasurer General that that is the fact. The Treasurer
General tries to get the annual dues collected early in April and he is
handicapped to a great degree when those dues are held back until the
very last moment and the last day. There were five remittances re-
ceived on the day before and the last day of the fiscal year, and 1
places upon the Treasurer General considerable work to get his report
in time for the Auditing Committee on the following day, and I would
urge here, in this Congress, that the State Treasurers help out the
IOO SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Treasurer General by sending in the remittances early, when the bills
are sent to them.
Treasurer General Burroughs then presented the following report,
followed by the report on the permanent fund :

President General and Compatriots:
The Treasurer General has the honor to submit the following report
on the Third Liberty Loan Fund :
At the Congress held last year in Rochester, N. Y., the Treasurer
General reported there had been purchased $250 of bonds, leaving an
uninvested balance of $11.50. Since this report was submitted con-
tributions amounting to $56 have been received, out of which a bond
for $50 has been purchased, leaving a balance of $17.50 to the credit of
the fund. There is now on hand, including purchases and gifts, $500

are received and referred to the Committee on Official Reports. If
there be no objection, this course will be followed. Hearing none, it

Compatriot Bacon (N. Y.) : I would like to ask one question. In
the investment of these funds, permanent funds, is there any rule of
the Society as to the class of investments that the money shall be
placed in?
The Treasurer General : I will answer the gentleman from New
York. The Investment Committee has to invest in such securities as
are acceptable to the savings banks of the State of New York.
The Chair : The Congress will take a recess until 2 o'clock.

The Chair: In the business of the morning, we were receiving the
reports of the general officers. We will now have the report of the
Historian General, Compatriot George Carpenter Arnold, of Provi-
dence, R. I.
The Historian General submitted the following report:
REPORT OF THE HISTORIAN GENERAL. ■
Mr. President General and Compatriots of the Thirtieth Annual Con-
gress of the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution,
Greeting :
The history of Detroit is closely interwoven with that of the whole
Northwest, for its settlement is one of the earliest in America.
Visited by the French and explored by them as early as 1610, they
saw that the swiftly flowing waters of the Detroit River were a minia-
ture Straits of Gibraltar.
108 SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Their admiration of the fertility of the soil, the fine hunting grounds,
and the grandeur of the forests was Nature's invitation to the first
visitors.
The first European locating at this point was a native of France, a
man of nohle birth, named De La Mothe Cadillac, who took up his
abode here in 1701, under the rule of France. Cadillac proved himself a
man of great capacity and immediately proceeded to the work of
settlement.
Trees were cut down and a fort about 200 feet square built on the
banks of the river, near the spot where the Michigan Mutual Life In-
surance Co. Building is now located, which he named Fort Ponchartrain
in honor of the colonial minister. In the spring of 1712 Cadillac left
Detroit, having been appointed the first Governor of Louisiana.
Within a short time hostile Indians surrounded the fort, seeking to
dislodge the French ; but the French traders soon demonstrated that
they were willing to deal more liberally than the English, and thus the
Indians soon had cause to regret their change of masters, for the
English always practiced a cruel policy.
The French and English struggled long for the control of the West-
ern Continent. The victory of Wolfe at Quebec in 1759 and the subse-
quent surrender of Detroit did not please the Indians, and in 1763
Pontiac, a powerful Ottawa chief, formed the intention of expelling
the English and besieged the fort. It lasted nearly four months and
was full of incidents of the most stirring character.
In the meantime the war clouds of the Revolution were gathering.
Detroit was the center of British power in the Northwest, and a fort
was erected as an English outpost in 1778, as a defense against the
Americans, afterward called Fort Shelby, the present site of the post-
office.
King George, fearing the hardy settlers of western Virginia and
Tennessee would aid their brother colonists in the East, planned, and
from here sent forth, Indian expeditions to harass them, furnishing the
Indians with guns, scalping knives, and tomahawks.
Governor Hamilton, then in command, went forth from here with a
force of British and Indians in the fall of 1778 to protect British in-
terests, and was with his whole force captured at Vincennes the fol-
lowing February.
In 1783 Detroit was yielded by the Treaty of Paris with Great
Britain, after a seven years' struggle of blood and tears, to the United
States, but the British did not evacuate until July 11, 1706, at which
time Gen. Anthony Wayne's army, under Captain Porter, took full
possession and for the first time raised over the fort the American
flag.
The animosities growing out of the Revolution were not allayed by
the peace declarations, duly signed at Paris, which declared therein
that these colonies "were, and of right ought to be," free and inde-
pendent States. But the autocratic King George III of Great Britain
(himself a German) maintained "That once a subject, always a sub-
ject," and thus the treaty of peace became "a scrap of paper," the Brit-
ish regaining possession of Detroit August 16, 1812.
Major General Ross and his torch-bearers attacked the National
Capital, wantonly destroying the public edifices, some of these being
costly monuments and depositories of the public archives, not only
precious to the Nation as the memorials of its origin and early trans-
actions, but to all nations, from a historical standpoint. Of the public
buildings only the post-office was saved from the barbarous conflagra-
tion. The Britons, "the paragons of perfect men," as sung by their
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. IOO.
own Spencer, in the nineteenth Christian century plundered the houses
and stores, committing acts of vandalism and atrocities against the
young republic no less brutal and inhumane than the Jersey prison-
ship "martyrs" experienced twenty-five years before, which constituted
one of the most frightful chapters in American history. These and
many more outrages committed it would wrong history not to record
and civilization not to reprobate.
Detroit remained in possession of the British until September 29,
1813, when, as one of the results of Commodore Perry's notable and
decisive victory of September 10, 1813, on Lake Erie, the English were
driven out of the country and the English flag was replaced by the
Stars and Stripes by General Harrison and the city again became
American.
But the Detroit of today I may well leave in your hands, as the evi-
dence is sufficient to convince all that she is not only a historical city
in a pre-eminent degree, but a progressive city — progressive in popula-
tion, commerce, manufactures, wealth, education — in fact, in all those
elements that constitute a truly great and prosperous city, for more
tonnage passes annually through "the Detroit River than in the same
time enters and clears the combined ports of London and Liverpool."
The descendants of the soldiers of the American Revolution have
truly ascended to protect and preserve the great principle upon which
George Washington devoted his life and upon which America is based —
liberty. Washington now belongs to humanity.
Faithful to the memory of Lafayette and his country, America went
to the aid of France, because France herself was faithful to her
traditions, and through unity of action and the noble humanity of
America the great victory was won.
A. Howard Clark.
I would pause now for a moment, for during the S. A. R. year just
ending, very peacefully, on Thursday, December 31, 1918, passed from
earth to his reward the spirit of our late and distinguished Secretary
General and Registrar General, A. Howard Clark. Compatriot Clark
was born in Boston, April 30, 1850, and became a member of the
District of Columbia Society at its organization, in 1890; he was elected
Assistant Registrar General May 5, 1890, and was one of its Secretaries
from 1891 to 1893. In 1892 he was elected Secretary General of the
National Society, and in 1893, at Chicago, he was elected Registrar
General, serving in that capacity over a quarter of a century.
At the St. Louis Congress, in 1904, he was elected Secretary General,
performing the joint duties of Secretary General and Registrar General
until his death. Educated at Boston and at Wesleyan University, Mid-
dletown. Conn., the university in 1906 gave Compatriot Clark the honor-
ary degree of Master of Arts.
From 1867 to 1875 he was engaged in the mercantile business^ in New
York City, in 1879 was assistant on the U. S. Fish Commission, and
later expert on the Tenth Census.
From 1881 and to the time 'of his death he was connected with the
Smithsonian Institution as Curator of the Division of History in. the
National Museum and as editor of the publications of the institution.
In 1883 he served on the executive staff of the U. S. Commission at
the International Fisheries Exposition in London, and was a U. S.
expert commissioner to the Paris Exposition of 1889 by appointment
of President Cleveland, when he was honored by order of President
Carnot with the decoration of Officier du Merite Agricole of France.
IIO SONS OF THF AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Compatriot Clark held membership in many patriotic societies, his
life was one of great activity and usefulness and his prominence in
national and international affairs and in social and patriotic societies
brought around him a large circle of acquaintances. Firm in his con-
victions of duty, he maintained the principles for which he stood with
an adherence and persistency that emulated the sturdy spirit of his
ancestors.
Compatriot Clark is survived by a widow and two sons. The oldest
son, Chester Morrow Clark, is a member of the Sons of the American
Revolution, and the youngest son, Howard Sears Perry Clark, is a
member of the Washington Guard. His wife, Alice Morrow Clark,
was one of the 18 original organizers of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, October II, 1890; its Registrar General from 1890 to 1892;
Vice-President General in 1894, and in 1895 was elected Honorary Vice-
President General for life.
Numismatics.
My interest in numismatics prompts me to record briefly President
Washington's personal supervision of the first United States mint, the
building being the first ever erected by authority of Congress for a
public purpose.
By the act of April 2, 1792, a mint for the purpose of national
coinage was authorized to be established in Philadelphia ( then the
capital of the United States) : the names the coins were to be known
by, also their values, weights, and finenesses, were adopted, and thus
were banished from the free Union of States the English pounds,
shillings, pence, and farthings forever.
The national coinage was a subject in which Washington exhibited
the greatest interest, and immediately after the act of April, 1792, he
caused the purchase of an L-shaped piece of ground on Seventh Street,
midway between Arch and Market streets, and now known and num-
bered 37 and 39 North Seventh and 631 Filbert street.
On the 31st the foundation stone of the mint was laid and early in
October President Washington gave some of his private plate to fur-
nish the silver from which the first half dimes were coined. All bore
the supposed portrait of Martha Washington on the obverse and date
1792, of which your historian has taken from his cabinet a specimen,
which he will be glad to exhibit to the compatriots after the meeting.
In Washington's fourth annual address to Congress, November 6.
1792, he makes mention of this first coinage as follows:
"There has been a small beginning in coinage of half dimes," etc.
Washington made the mint almost a "hobby," referring to it fre-
quently in his official communications, visiting it constantly, and super-
vising its every detail. The regular series of the United States coinage
commenced the following year, 1793.
Respectfully submitted,
Geo. C. Arnold,
Historian General.
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. Ill
The Chair: Our Historian General merits the thanks of the Con-
gress. The report is received, and referred to the Committee on Offi-
cial Reports, unless otherwise advised. It is so ordered.
In the reading of the President's report this morning, the statement
was made that your Executive Committee had presented a memorial on
the death of our late Secretary General, A. Howard Clark. It was
ordered printed in the Bulletin and a copy sent to Mrs. Clark. There
was no engrossment ordered of that memorial. It was thought that if
it were the wish of this Congress, that that resolution should be your
spoken word of sympathy and esteem, you would pass a motion for it
to be engrossed. Perhaps you would prefer that another resolution
should come from the floor of the Congress and be engrossed and sent
to Mrs. Clark as your expression of sympathy. That is the reason why
the engrossment was not made, and I call the same to your attention
at this time.
Compatriot Bacon (N. Y.) : It seems to me that the services ren-
dered by Mr. Clark should be recognized by us as suggested by the
Executive Committee, and, further than that, the memorial should be
engrossed and presented to his wife in testimony of our respect for
him. I move that the resolution be engrossed and presented to the
widow of Mr. Clark.
(Motion seconded.)
Compatriot Torbert (D. C.) : I appreciate the dignity of the me-
morial that was gotten up by the Executive Committee. I also appre-
ciate that, on such occasions as that, the death of a beloved husband
means much to his widow. I think I am heartily in sympathy with the
motion to have those resolutions or that memorial engrossed hand-
somely and presented to the widow from the Executive Committee of
this Society. It is their work, their sentiment, etc. I also think that
this body, as a Congress, should take some separate action, and I think
the memorial and the separate resolutions presented from the Congress
would have an added weight with the widow ; so I would suggest that
not only the memorial gotten up by the Executive Committee be en-
grossed, but also that this National Congress now assembled draw up
suitable resolutions to present to the widow.
Compatriot Bacon : My idea in making the motion was that the reso-
lution as drawn by the Executive Committee should be endorsed by
this Congress and be engrossed, which would cover the points that our
friend from Washington makes. That is my idea of it and that is the
reason that I made the motion.
The Chair : The vote is on the motion that the resolution passed by
the Executive Board be engrossed and the copy forwarded to Mrs.
Clark as the expression of this Congress.
(The motion was unanimously adopted.)
The Chair: I now ask for the reading of the minutes of the last
Congress. The minutes of the last Congress were printed in the Year
112 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Book, but the Constitution provides for the reading of a draft of those
minutes, if it is the desire of the Congress.
It was moved and seconded that the reading of the minutes be dis-
pensed with, inasmuch as they had already been printed.
The Chair : I presume that motion will carry with it the adoption
of the minutes as printed. Do I so understand?
(The maker of the motion assented.)
The Chair : The Chair understands that the motion is that we omit
the reading of the minutes of the 29th Congress, and that the minutes
stand approved as printed in the Year Book.
(The motion was adopted.)
The Chair: We will take up the report of the Memorial Committee,
of which Past President General R. C. Ballard Thruston is chairman.
(Applause.)
REPORT OF THE MEMORIAL COMMITTEE.
Compatriot Thruston : Some two years ago or a little over I was
made chairman of our local Chapter, in Louisville, of the Red Cross,
and a year later Assistant Manager Lake Division, A. R. C, for the State
of Kentucky. The past two years of my life have been given up to
Red Cross work. I have allowed nothing whatever to stand in the
way — social, family, nor anything else; so my entire time has been
devoted to that instead of to the work of the Memorial Committee.
When I was named, two years ago, as chairman of this committee I
declined. Mr. Clark wrote me, urging me to reconsider. I again de-
clined. Mr. Clark again put it to me in a way that I could not decline,
and he said, "If jrou will allow your name to be at the head of the
committee, I will promise you that I will do the work." Now he was
Secretary of the American Historical Association for twenty years. I
was very, very close to him and one of his most sincere admirers in
our whole organization, and as a result I was willing to lend my name
to any work that Mr. Clark would do, and there is no one, aside from
his own immediate family, who will miss him more than I will. I sin-
cerely regret his death.
I made a trip into Virginia recently, a trip really for a rest, as a rest
is a change of occupation and a change of scene. In my case it was a
change of scene, and the use of different brain cells from those I had
been using before, and I will promise you they were used just as
actively as the others were. On this trip I tried to locate the birthplaces
and the burial places of some of those Signers of the Declaration whose
burial places are unknown.
It is rather singular, but of those whom Virginia had as the Signers
of the Declaration, the burial place of Carter Braxton is not known.
I visited his birthplace, on the Mattaponi River, with a beautiful lawn in
front, extending for nearly half a mile. The old house is gone. It was
built by his grandfather and inherited by his father and by his elder
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. ' 113
brother; and in this connection let me state that in the general gene-
alogies of that period there is a generation missing; his father is left
out. From them he acquired this place considerably later in life. Just
about the period of arriving at the age of 21 he bought a place known
as Ensing Green. Shortly afterward he went over to Cambridge Uni-
versity. While he was gone, Ensing Green was burned, or rather the
interior. The walls in the basement were forty inches thick, so they
are still standing. On two occasions that house was burned and has
been rebuilt without having to rebuild those walls. He bought it in
1758 and on one of the bricks are the marks of his initials and the date.
But he did not like it after he returned from England and sold it. His
grandfather was buried at Mattaponi Church, which was abandoned
during the Revolutionary War and not reoccupied as a church until
1828. It is not probable that he was buried there.
I have succeeded, therefore, in eliminating three of the supposed
burial places of Carter Braxton. He built, after selling Ensing Green,
only a few miles distant, a beautiful place. There are two burial
grounds, one down near Pamunkey River, in the bottom, which is quite
wet in damp weather and in which many of the family were buried.
Another on higher ground, in which Carter Braxton's own son was
buried, but his remains were later removed to Richmond. I find no
evidence of Carter Braxton being buried there.
The facts are that he was a member of Congress until 1795 ; then he
returned to find his home burned down. He lived in Richmond and
died there in 1797. I want to state that the President of our Virginia
Society, the Hon. Arthur B. Clarke, who is here today, is making a
search to see if in one or two of the old burial grounds in Richmond
he cannot find evidence of Carter Braxton's burial.
It is singular that his descendants, proud of the fact that they are
Braxtons, carrying the Braxton as a part of their name to this day, do
not know where their Revolutionary ancestor was buried.
The grave of George Wythe is located in St. John's Church. There
is a little dispute as to which of two spots is the identical one. It
makes very little difference, because the head of one spot will be the
foot of the other. I have reason to believe that in the reasonably near
future our Virginia Society will make efforts to locate the exact spot
of the grave and erect there a headstone, suitable to the other head-
stones in St. John's Churchyard, to the memory of Wythe, one of the
greatest chancellors Virginia ever produced.
I went out to Berkeley, the home of Benjamin Harrison, where five
generations of that same name resided, and there I failed to find any
evidence of the burial spot of the Signer of the Declaration. His
grandfather was buried not far away, at Westover Church— the old
site of that church. The river has infringed and was undermining the
old church, and it was moved two or three miles away. It is at the
old site of the church that old Benjamin Harrison is buried. There
are the slabs covering the remains of him and his wife, and also William
Byrd, of Westover, and his wife and granddaughter, Evelyn.
114 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
I hope through our Virginia Society and through our friends in Vir-
ginia to obtain information as to where the family papers are, in order
that this committee in the future may be able to work out that history
of which we now know so little. Again we will have to have the cur-
rent newspapers of the day searched.
Unfortunately, in the Civil War there were so many papers and
family residences destroyed, and county residences and county records
and State records, that we are having great difficulty in obtaining that
information which sixty years ago was so prevalent throughout that
whole section ; but I believe the results will be accomplished in the
future.
At Yorktown, old York Hall has been bought by Mr. Blow, whose
ancestral home is adjoining it. He has fixed it up as a residence in the
old Colonial style, and it is one of the most fascinating places that I
have ever seen. He has in it paintings of great value. Nothing is
overdone. There is no museum about it ; it is his private residence.
He received me most hospitably and showed me the cannon balls that
were fired in there by the Americans during the siege of Yorktown.
There are two of them imbedded in the exterior walls of the house,
and one which passed through a window and is imbedded in the in-
terior walls. Old Nelson himself offered a reward for battering down
his own homestead, which was the headquarters of Cornwallis during
that battle.
The grave of Nelson is covered by a granite slab, 3J/2 feet by 7 feet,
bearing his name and the inscription. That is in the churchyard, not
far distant.
I told you the trip I made was one for rest, and I enjoyed it, every
bit of it, and I was accused of enjoying work more than play. Well,
I believe that the accusation is correct. I neither deny it nor do I
defy the accuser.
The graves of the two Lees I did not attempt to locate on this trip ;
it will require another. Nor did I go to Monticello, to visit the grave
of the great Thomas Jefferson, as that is so well known and so well
marked that it would not be necessary to go there in order to locate it.
One of my most intimate friends, of South Carolina, is a descendant
of two of the Signers. He was one of my predecessors as President of
the Kentucky Society, Mr. Arthur M. Rutledge, and through him I hope
to obtain access to the Rutledge and Middleton papers for study, and at
a future date I will endeavor to visit the graves of the Signers from
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, as well as from Maryland.
But for the present you will have to accept this verbal report. I had
no time and no opportunity to give you a written one, but I have from
Mrs. Clark the statement that Mr. Clark during his lifetime took a
tremendous interest in it. He has a vast volume of papers, copies of
wills and other documents bearing on the Signers, a number of which as
yet I have never had the opportunity of going over, and I hope that
my successor, with what assistance I may be able to give to him, will
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 115
be able to bring out the history of these Signers in a way that will
make it as charming and interesting to us as have been those prepared
by our other State Societies. I thank you for your attention. (Ap-
plause.)
The Chair: That report has a personal charm and the copy taken
down by the stenographer will be furnished the Committee on Official
Reports. You have all expressed your own thanks of the Congress to
the chairman of that committee.
The Chair: I will ask the Secretary to give a notice now, and at the
same time the Secretary of the Maryland Society will make distribu-
tion of some documents that will bear upon a future report from one
of the special committees.
The Secretary General: Compatriots, there is a limited number of
rosettes and also service bars in the possession of the Secretary Gen-
eral, and if any member of the Society desires either he can consult the
Secretary during one of the recesses and he will be glad to furnish
them. At the last Congress emphasis was placed on the request to wear
your rosette, show your colors as a member of the National Society
and the State Society to which you belong, and that rosette is distinct-
ive, and we will endeavor to supply those who haven't them.
The Chair: The distribution is going on so very quietly that I am
going to take the opportunity of calling upon the chairman of the Com-
mittee on Patriotic Education to also report for the Special Committee
of the Executive Board on the American's Creed. Will Judge Reif-
snider kindly come forward at this time. (Applause.)
Judge Reifsnider presented the following report, and in connection
therewith made the following statement at the conclusion of the report :
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON PATRIOTIC EDUCATION.
Mr. President General and Compatriots:
When we look at the list of members of the Committee on Patriotic
Education, of which I have the honor to be the chairman, and see how
widely separated in place of residence they are, it is hardly necessary
for me to say that no meeting of the committee has been or attempted
to be held.
However, desiring to offer something deemed worth while in the dis-
charge of our duty and having in mind that some of the objects and
purposes of this Society are to inspire not only the descendants of those
men who by their services and sacrifices during the War of the Amer-
ican Revolution achieved the independence of the American people, but
the community at large, with a more profound reverence for the prin-
ciples of the Government founded by our forefathers; to foster true
patriotism; to maintain and extend the institutions of American free-
dom, and to carry out the purposes expressed in the preamble of the
Constitution of our country and the injunctions of Washington in his
farewell address to the American people, the idea occurred to the chair-
man and was concurred in by at least a majority of the committee — i. e.,
unanimously by all from whom he has heard— that we recommend the
promulgation of the American's Creed and the lessons to be learned from
this brief epitome of true Americanism, based upon the political prin-
Il6 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
ciples which have made this country great, in the public, parochial, and
private schools throughout the country, to the favorable consideration
and prompt action, we hope, of every State Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution as a work than which none seems more impor-
tant, and in thorough accord with the objects and purposes of this
Society which we have just quoted.
Especially important does it seem to us in times like the present,
fraught with so many dangers to our Government from within, equal if
not greater than those with which we were confronted from without in
the momentous period through which we have so recently successfully
passed, not only as a means of imbuing our own members with a more
profound reverence for those principles of freedom, equality, justice,
and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and
fortunes, but the community at large, thereby tending to perpetuate for
all time, please God, that which has been won, maintained, and ex-
tended at such tremendous cost of blood and treasure.
The history of the American's Creed is fairly well known to the
members present, but a brief resume will not be out of place at this
time. As most of you know, the Creed idea originated with Henry
Sterling Chapin, of New York, who was managing editor of Educa-
tional Foundations and who is himself of Revolutionary stock of New
England.
When the contest for the writing of the American's Creed was an-
nounced, the active manager of the contest was Compatriot Matthew
Page Andrews, supported by a representative group of literary critics
and editors throughout the country.
The prize or Creed award was offered by Compatriot James H. Pres-
ton, then mayor of the city of Baltimore, who offered it on behalf of
Baltimore as the birthplace of "The Star-spangled Banner."
No proceeding ever undertaken in America received such wide and
favorable publicity, both in regard to the progress of the contest and
the announcement of the Creed when chosen ; but it must give all loyal
Sons of the American Revolution genuine and lasting pleasure to know
that William Tyler Page, the author of the successful Creed, is not
only of Revolutionary stock and a descendant of one of the Signers of
the Declaration of Independence, but that he is also one of us — a mem-
ber of the Maryland Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.
From this it is seen that the Creed is almost exclusively a product of
our great Society, not by any prearranged program, but by a most re-
markable connection of circumstances most creditable to the faith of
those who are descended from the founders of this Republic.
It will be seen by our National Year Book for 1918, pages 99 to 103,
that the American's Creed was endorsed at our National Congress at
Rochester. At the time the Secretary General was instructed to convey
to each of the Secretaries of each of the State Societies a copy of the
resolution, with instructions to read the same at the next general meet-
ing of their respective State Societies. Apparently this was not fully
carried out, due, no doubt, to the illness and death of our lamented
Secretary General. At least one State Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution, that of Maryland, has outlined a course of action
and the results are here noted to illustrate, by just this beginning, the
apparently unlimited possibilities in the use of the American's Creed,
and a plan which the committee recommends and urges every State
Society to adopt :
1. The Society itself has made the recitation of the Creed a part of
its opening ceremonies.
2. It induced the Maryland State Board of Education to adopt a
resolution in February last making the Creed part of the curriculum of
the public schools throughout the State and urging the local boards of
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 11/
education to purchase enough copies to furnish each pupil with a copy.
3. It presented framed copies to the public high schools of the State
(about one hundred) in the name of the Maryland Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution, on Maryland Day, being the 25th of March
last. These were presented with appropriate ceremonies and in many
instances through the medium of a member of the Maryland Society.
4. It procured three thousand unframed copies to be presented to the
local boards of education in the twenty-three counties of the State and
Baltimore City, with the understanding that they will be framed by the
expenditure of public moneys, the pupils in the respective schools, patri-
otic citizens, or other means and hung in the schools. A number of
local boards in the counties and Baltimore City have already been pre-
sented these copies.
5. The local boards of education of the counties particularly were
urged to procure a sufficient number of an authorized educational and
illustrated edition of the American's Creed for at least the eighth grade
of the grammar schools. Some responses were made even this year-
one county, Allegany, procuring 13,000 copies of this artistic edition of
the Creed for distribution among the pupils — and it is particularly to
be noted that this county is a mining county, with many foreign-born
inhabitants.
6. Plans have also been made for co-operation with the parochial
school authorities of the Catholic Church for the use of the Creed in
these schools and for presentation of framed copies to those of high-
school grade and unframed ones to all of the others.
Finally, Compatriot Matthew Page Andrews, chairman of the Na-
tional Publicity Committee of the American's Creed, after answering
thousands of letters of inquiry from every part of the Union, prepared
a little pocket volume entitled "The American's Creed and Its Mean-
ing," for Americanization purposes and for use in the schools. This
little volume contains the complete story of the Creed and the doctrinal
authorities upon which it is based and the historical or political expla-
nations of its various phrases. The volume is also illustrated by pic-
tures of Washington, Hancock, Jefferson, Madison, Lincoln, Webster,
the United States Capitol, the Great Seal of the United States, the
scene at announcement of the Creed in the National Congress, etc.
The committee believes that the adoption and use of this book by the
school authorities would make the teaching of the Creed more effective
in accomplishing the desired results. Baltimore City has already done
so. Of it our distinguished President General has written to Com-
patriot Andrews as follows :
"There has been no finer expression of the sentiments that should
actuate the true American than those expressed in The American's
Creed, compiled by William Tyler Page. You have done well to write
a book on 'The American's Creed and Its Meaning,' and I trust this
book will find its way into every educational institution of the land. It
ought to be a text book in every school, for it breathes on every page
not only the spirit of patriotism, but the spirit of 1776, that established
the independence of the United States of America.
"We need have no fear of a lack of national spirit in our land if our
citizens adhere to the principles of this Creed. There is no nobler work
that can be done for the youth of our land than to have them memorize
the American's Creed and become familiar with the authors of the
various phrases embodied in that Creed, and to learn of their character
and their service to our Nation."
And, again, to the publishers, Messrs. Doubleday, Page & Company,
under date of April 3 :
"Yesterday I received a most courteous letter from you announcing
that you were sending under separate cover, a book entitled 'The Amer-
Il8 SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
ican's Creed and Its Meaning,' by my friend, Mr. Matthew Page An-
drews, chairman.
"The book arrived this morning and I am deeply grateful to you for
your courtesy. I assure you that this publication ought to be used as a
text book in the grammar schools of the United States, and it should
be the duty of all patriotic societies of America to advocate the use of
the book in such institutions, and particularly would it be advisable for
municipalities to present a copy of the book at the time that final papers
are given to aliens as naturalized citizens."
The Committee of the Maryland Society, of which I also have the
honor of being chairman, has been co-operating with the National Creed
Committee, composed of Matthew Page Andrews, chairman, 849 Park
Avenue, Baltimore, Md. ; Porter Emerson Browne, Henry Sterling
Chapin, W. B. Chapman, Irvin S. Cobb, Hamlin Garland, Ellen Glas-
gow, Hermann Hagedorn, Julian Street, Booth Tarkington, Charles
Hanson Towne, and Richard Gwinn, treasurer, together with the ad-
visory council, representing men prominent in both public and private
life. It has consequently avoided making the mistake made by this
committee in the beginning in furthering the promulgation and teach-
ing of the Creed printed on cheap and unattractive folders. Hence, in
Maryland it recommended the authorized editions of the Creed only,
which are not only artistic, but at the same time give something of the
history of the Creed, except in the case of large posters for display in
school-rooms or offices, the idea being that, attractive and worth pre-
serving, they will be carried into the homes by the pupils and thou-
sands— yes, millions — outside the schools reached in this way.
It may be readily recognized that a knowledge and appreciation of
The American's Creed represents in itself a certificate of good citizen-
ship. Its use throughout the country may carry on to a successful
conclusion ideals of accomplishment that might well have been deemed
impossible prior to the creation of this wonderfully brief summary of
American political faith.
It so happens that the chairman of the Committee on Patriotic Edu-
cation was also appointed by the Executive Committee at its meeting in
Newark on January 31 last, together with Compatriot David L. Pierson
and the Secretary General, as a Special Committee to Exploit the
American's Creed, and this committee now desires to concur in the
recommendations of the aforegoing report.
Respectfully submitted,
Jno. Milton Reifsnider,
Chairman.
With your permission I desire at this time, on behalf of the Mary-
land Society, to present to the Detroit Chapter of the Sons of the
American Revolution a framed copy of this American Creed, of which
I have just spoken, and I also desire to announce, on behalf of the
Maryland Society, that we have here, I think, a sufficient number of
unframed copies which we desire to present, with the compliments of
this Society, to the representatives of the State Societies represented
at this Congress. We also present, in the name of the Maryland
Society, the copies of the Creed which have just been handed you, to-
gether with a printed copy of the report of the committee. (Ap-
plause.)
The Chair: Dr. Knight would like to receive that from your hands.
Judge ReifsnidEr: Coming from such a proud State in the great
galaxy of the States composing this Union of ours, it is with some
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 119
hesitation, after hearing how ancient Detroit is, that I undertake to
make this presentation. It is with a great deal of pleasure on the
part of the Maryland Society that we present this, hoping you will
accept it, and at the same time, for further information, we desire
to present a copy of the book of one of our members giving informa-
tion on the American Creed.
Compatriot Knight : In accepting this for the Detroit Chapter, I wish
to say that, although this city of Detroit may be quite ancient among
the cities of the West, the Detroit Chapter is a very young Chapter;
so we can readily accept something from an older chapter and an
older State than the State of Michigan. I would say, in accepting this,
that the Americanization idea is not a strange one to us. I think the
Detroit Chapter and possibly the Michigan Society, before the Detroit
Chapter was organized, was early in the field in Americanizing our
people here.
You know, Detroit is a large manufacturing city, and consequently
has drawn here men from all over the world. The national types
represented here, I imagine, are as varied as in any city of the country.
We have them of all kinds, all religions, and all shades; but they work
together here, in one harmonious body.
The Detroit Chapter and, as I said, the Michigan Society took this
matter up early, and from our beginning it was transferred to larger
agencies. The Board of Commerce here in Detroit has undertaken
that work very extensively, and not only the Board of Commerce, but
the various manufacturers have done a great deal in that line. They
have educated their people ; they have taught the American language ;
they have taught them the American spirit. We have had the social
service among all our large manufacturers. They have provided
various means for the entertainment and for the education of their
workmen.
As you go about the city, if you do, you will see many evidences of
it, one of which I will call your attention to : As you pass along the
boulevard tomorrow on your ride, you will see one large sign in which
the company says to the people that work for them, "One country, one
flag, one language," and that is what we are endeavoring to teach here
in our Americanization. Proof that we are a harmonious people, proof
that there are many Americans here who have come to us from other
lands, exists in the gold stars that you will see spread up and down
the streets. If you look at those names there, you will find that not
one out of six — perhaps even a smaller percentage than that — not one
out of ten or twelve — is a familiar American name. They are the
names that carry you to Italy, to Poland, to Russia, to Germany, and
other places so strange to us who have not traveled. They are names
of those that were not born in this country, although their holders
may have been born in this country, but they have become American
and they have proved that they are Americans by going across the
water and laying down their lives for the defense of our country and
their country. (Applause.)
120 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
President Frank Drew Hall, of the North Dakota Society: I wish
to say for your information, in regard to this Creed, that I come from
the State of the Non-Partisan League. A great many of them really
ought to be denationalized, but we have a heavy percentage of foreign
population, and in the naturalization process our district judges are
accustomed to have addresses by prominent, well-known citizens on the
flag and upon the nature of the act in which they are about to partici-
pate in becoming naturalized citizens of our country. That has become
quite a custom in the last two or three years, and the point of informa-
tion I wish to ask for is whether this organization could in some way
provide that one of these small copies of the Creed could be furnished
to these courts that are about to naturalize these foreign-born citizens,
that they might put one of these into the hands of every man as he is
naturalized? That is just a suggestion or a question. I do not know
whether they are for distribution in any way like that, but it strikes
me that it would be one of the finest things we could do for our new
citizens.
The Chair : You are the President of your State Society.
President of the North Dakota Society: Yes, sir.
The Chair : You will kindly get into communication with the chair-
man of this committee and he will tell you how the various State
Societies, are taking it up with these various organizations throughout
their individual States.
President of the North Dakota Society: Thank you.
Compatriot Knight : Before I leave the stand, I would like to say
a word about the reception tonight. There will be automobiles at the
Bagley Avenue entrance of the hotel, so that those who wish to go
that way can do so ; and also on Elizabeth street, Elizabeth street being
one block north of the Methodist Church, over on the corner, there
will be a street car on a siding, and any who wish to go that way may
do so. That car will be there until half-past seven. The car will take
you directly to Colonel Alger's house. Those who miss that car and
the automobiles can go at any time in the street cars, which go di-
rectly to Colonel Alger's house. Those who do not take the auto-
mobiles can go by the special car. Those who are too late for the
special car, which leaves at half-past seven, can take any car which
goes to Grosse Pointe. The Chamber of Commerce in Detroit has a
fine building and has sent a communication saying that it will be glad
to see any of the members here. It is very unusual in its methods of
distributing information, furnishing manufacturers and others in-
terested in that line with information about anything in the city or
country, and will be glad to have a visit from any one here.
The Chair : The question before the house is the report of the Com-
mittee on Patriotic Education. That is also one for which you have
expressed your thanks, and it will be referred to the Committee on
Official Reports. I am sorry that time does not permit of our ex-
pressing our approval from the floor of the various reports that have
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 121
been made today. They have all been magnificent. Before we pro-
ceed with the next report I desire to make an announcement, which is
that the invitation extended from the Chamber of Commerce has been
referred officially to the Committee on Recommendations, and indi-
vidually you accept the invitation.
Compatriot Clark (Va.) : At our Congress at Rochester last year
Mr. Andrews, of Baltimore, read this Creed and also a paper telling
the source from which these expressions were taken. I think I called
his attention to the fact that I did not think he gave the proper credit
for the expression used, "government of the people, by the people, for
the people" ; so I wrote him a letter, as he had asked me to do. I
wrote this letter :
420 Mutual Building, May 28, 1918.
Mr. Matthew Page Andrews,
849 Park Avenue, Baltimore, Md.
My Dear Mr. Andrews: Referring to our conversation in Rochester
as to the origin of the words in the "American Creed," "A government
of the people, by the people, and for the people" —
(1) In the opinion of Chief Justice Marshall in the case of McCul-
lock vs. The State of Maryland, delivered in February term of U. S.
Supreme Court, 1819, the sentiment of these words runs through the
120 pages of this far-reaching opinion. (See Wheaton's Reports, Vol. 4,
pages 315-435- edition of 1883.)
On page 404 are these words :
"The government of the Union, then, is emphatically and truly a
government of the people. In form and in substance it emanates from
them. Its powers are granted by them and are to be exercised directly
on them and for their benefit."
I am indebted to Hon. Lunsford L. Lewis for this reference. Judge
Lewis is a retired Associate Judge and President of the Virginia Su-
preme Court of Appeals and was a United States district attorney for
this district. He is an ex-President and Historian of the Virginia
Society, Sons of the American Revolution.
(2) Daniel Webster, in a speech in the United States Senate, January
26, 1830, said :
"The people's government, made for the people, made by the people,
and answerable to the people." (Bartlett's Quotations, p. 532.)
(3) Theodore Parker, in a speech delivered in Boston, May 29,
1850, said :
"This is a government of all the people, by all the people, for all
the people." (Bartlett, p. 639.)
(4) President Abraham Lincoln, in his speech at Gettysburg, Novem-
ber 19, 1863, said : „
"A government of the people, for the people, and by the people.
(Bartlett, p. 622.) .
In the article accompanying the Creed, it is stated that these words
are from the preamble to the Constitution. I am unable to find such
in either the Constitution or the brief preamble. I have examined
several publications of that document. .
Please kindly understand that I have not brought up this matter in
any spirit of criticism or unfriendliness— not at all— but only to assist
in locating the real origin of the words and giving credit where it
belongs.

Trusting this may aid you in further search for the truth, and hoping
to have the pleasure of meeting you again, I am,
Yours truly,
Arthur D. Clark,
President Virginia Society, S. A. R.
In subsequent publications the same words are contained, that it is
from the Constitution, which I am utterly unable to find. John Mar-
shall is really the author of the words.
The Chair : We have a report from the Committee on Americani-
zation, Mr. Chancellor Jenks. (Great applause.)
Compatriot Chancellor Jenks presented the report as follows :
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON AMERICANIZATION AND
ALIENS.
Detroit, Mich., May 19, 1919.
To the Thirtieth Annual Congress of the National Society, Sons of the
American Revolution:
This committee came into existence ten years ago, in response to a
patriotic ambition to hasten the amalgamation of the foreign-born into
the ranks of desirable citizens. Our Society was the first to define and
enter this field of labor. The word "Americanization" then received a
somewhat restricted interpretation. It was confined to instructing the
new or prospective citizen of foreign birth in the practical and material
advantages of the American form of government and its protecting
power. Rapidly its scope has broadened, until it now embraces every
effort made to build up, strengthen, and fortify the American Govern-
ment through implanting and fostering a higher ideality in the indi-
vidual citizen, whatever his birth. As a consequence the activities of
this committee are covering a larger field. Its members are gladly
reaching out welcome hands of co-operation with other agencies of
patriotic uplift, in order that the results may be multiplied and made
more universal. We have found 'a great truth, which may be ex-
pressed in a biblical paraphrase: "America, if it be lifted up, will draw
all men unto it." Wherever we find America being so lifted up, there
this committee finds its congenial work. Whoever seeks this aggran-
dizement of our country's institutions and ideals we join hands with in
a common cause. Yet we do not forget that our Society first announced
and entered upon this important work, nor do we suffer the laurels
which rightly belong to the Sons of the American Revolution to be
wrested from our brow.
Every member of this committee has been engaged during the last
year in absorbing war work. Some have been so fortunate as to don
the uniform of the American soldier or sailor ; others remained in the
files of the plain-clothes men who served behind the firing line. All
were essential parts of a great Americanization machine, which needed
every part to be effective. From every portion of the United States
come reports of the activity of members of this committee in the
great Americanization movement. It is interesting to note the char-
acteristic style of these several chronicles. Those of us who know the
writers are enabled to visualize them through their reports.
Alfred Coit, of New London, Conn., modestly regrets his inability
to do much in the Americanization way because of his duties as Gov-
ernment appeal agent, as director of forty "4-minute" men, and as
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 123
major in the Liberty Loan campaigns. Can better Americanization
work be imagined? It is purely inspirational. The scholarly Judge
Harvey F. Remington, of Rochester, multiplied his strength by co-
operation with the Americanization Committee of the Rochester Cham-
ber of Commerce. On Washington's birthday his committee, in the
presence of 4,000 applauding Americans, conferred citizenship certifi-
cates upon more than a hundred students of American institutions.
They brought to Rochester James W. Gerard and Job B. Hedges, to
picture America's ideals and ambitions to twenty thousand people.
They organized and carried out flag-day celebrations in many industrial
plants, thronged with prospective voters, and infused enthusiasm and
vim into societies and social and industrial groups without number.
Dr. Samuel Judd Holmes, a vice-chairman of this committee, carried
his untiring zeal and loyalty into the Y. M. C. A. classes of Seattle,
and in his own striking personality furnished proof of the inspirational
value of a line of loyal American forebears.
Another distant committeeman, Dr. Rawlins Cadwallader, of San
Francisco, unspoiled by his new entitlements of captain of Medical
Corps and assistant commanding officer, was engaged in the work of
completing the naturalization of alien soldiers. At Pittsburgh, Thomas
Stephen Brown found time, despite the pressure of his professional
duties, to impress the Americanism of our Society upon half a score
of important committees whose functions were to hold up the hands
of the Nation and to guard it from disloyalty and treason — in a word,
to insure the fruits of solid Americanism.
Compatriot J. H. Weston, of Logtown, Miss., in a district untouched
by any foreign strain or suspicion of disloyalty, found in the prestige
of membership on this committee the opportunity to awaken into definite
expression the dormant patriotic spirit of his community.
From Montclair, N. J., W. J. Lincoln Adams writes that his Ameri-
canization activities were nil because he was in active military service!
Active military service is practical Americanization. Our soldiers and
sailors have been engaged in Americanizing the world. How many
thousands of Germans were persuaded to throw up. their hands and
voice their complete conversion in the cry, "Kamerad."
Edwin S. Crandon, of Cambridge, sees the word of this committee
looming into greater importance as peace tries to hover over a nation
aroused to the highest degree of pugnacity. Concerted effort of all
agencies which seek to touch the hearts and minds and consciences of
men with the appeal of American ideality is needed to offset in the
mill centers of Massachusetts the socialistic, anarchistic propaganda
which is so rife. But first the alien must learn English, so that the
requisite contact may be made.
Frank B. Steele, of Buffalo, carried his Americanism into his work
as the executive secretary of the Home Defense Committee of Erie
Count}'. He took the census of the aliens and illiterate. A Subcom-
mittee on Americanization and Naturalization operated in the public
schools and with the U. S. Bureau of Naturalization; classes were
formed for the study of our institutions and laws, and the certificates
presented to the students were accepted by the naturalization officer
without further examination. His committee conducted a great cele-
bration on July 4th in connection with the conferring of these certifi-
cates. As in many other districts, employers of labor were induced to
advance men as a reward for learning English. Prominent in this
activity is Mr. George W. Whitehead, assistant superintendent of the
Lackawanna Steel Co., a member of the Sons of the American Revo-
lution.
Prof. Vernon P. Squires, of the University of North Dakota, has
124 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
made many addresses at Grand Forks and elsewhere on American
ideals and America's part in the war.
In Milwaukee, Walter H. Wright plainly rose to the urgent necessity
of the perilous situation and, as member of the Wisconsin Defense
League, the Wisconsin Loyalty Legion, the County Council of Defense,
the Patriotic Speakers' Bureau, the Draft Board, the "4-minute" men,
and many other emergency groups, has been furthering the objects of
our committee.
Many and momentous have been the problems which have arisen out
of Wisconsin's complex citizenry. The State Society of the S. A. R.
has maintained an alertness which has contributed to the solution of
them all. It spoke a ringing note of fealty when our Nation entered
the war. It circularized the schools and colleges of the State in ad-
vocacy of the observation of Constitution Day. It awarded medals to
high-school students for the best essays on these subjects: "America,
the Melting Pot of the World," and "The Constitution of the United
States." It inaugurated a successful protest against the presentation
of plays in German, and only last week was an active promoter of a
tableau representing Trumbull's famous painting, "The Signing of the
Declaration of Independence." All this is Americanization work of the
highest type.
Last, but by no means least, I would mention the work of our much-
loved and respected compatriot, Commander John H. Moore, of Wash-
ington, D. C, who, notwithstanding the increased responsibility and
labors incident to higher rank and honors, has been distributing broad-
cast the three pamphlets issued by our Society, entitled "Information
for Immigrants," "Naturalization," and "The Constitution of the United
States," Requests for these have come from public and technical
schools, State Societies and Chapters, Y. M. C. A.'s, Americanization
committees in different cities, the Bureau of Naturalization, and the
Bureau of Education of the Department of the Interior, etc.
On account of the action of our Executive Committee in discontinu-
ing the publication of these leaflets, it was decided that the remaining
copies should be divided between the Bureaus of Education and of
Naturalization. During the past eleven years this committee has sent
out hundreds of thousands of our leaflets to all parts of the country,
and it is believed that they have had stimulating effect upon the
Americanization movement.
If, as I have rehearsed the labors of the members of this committee,
you have said to yourselves, "Why, we've all been doing these things
ourselves," I can reply, "So much the better for our land and for our
Society." The Sons of the American Revolution, when they rise to
their highest worth, are only a Committee of the Whole on Americani-
zation and Aliens. As American citizens, as members of this Society,
we all have the same work to perform, the same road to traverse. We
must study American ideals until we understand, love, appropriate, and
live them. Then will we be fitted to impart them to others, and to
make our own lives an object-lesson of their worth. As lovers of our
country, let us first to our own selves be true ; then will it follow, as
night the day, that we cannot be false to any man.
Chancellor L. Jenks,
Chairman.
The Chair: We owe thanks to Chancellor Jenks for his magnificent
report, which is referred to the Committee on Official Reports. We will
now have the report of the War Service Committee — President Carl M.
Vail, of the New Jersey Society, chairman.
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 125
Compatriot Vail: Air. President General and Compatriots, the data
contemplated regarding the war service work of our National Society
and its members is far too voluminous to read at this time. I have
the report prepared, a very brief report, to give you a few of the high
spots. I will say also that as yet I have received returns from scarcely
half the States, so that I could not in any event make a complete report
at this time.
Compatriot Vail then presented the following report :
REPORT OF THE WAR SERVICE COMMITTEE OF THE
NATIONAL SOCIETY OF THE SONS OF
THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
The War Service Committee of the National Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution consists of the Presidents of all the State
Societies. After due consideration it was decided that better results
would be obtained by each State Society caring for its own war service
work than by handling it all through one central committee. The
President of each State Society, therefore, became practically a sub-
committee chairman for his State. Due to some kind of war service
being still in progress as well as to other causes, rather less than half
of the States have so far reported to the national committee. There-
fore, at this time, only a partial report is submitted. The period
covered is from the entrance of America in the World War, on April
6, 1017, to date.
The war service activities of the Society and its members have been
so varied and extensive that it is not possible to tabulate them under
a limited number of specific heads. The detail work of each State is
separately reported as exhibits attached hereto.
The following illustrations are given, not as a complete list of im-
portant services rendered, but to indicate the extent and variety of the
work done by our Society and its members :
The Massachusetts Society as an organization collected and dis-
tributed goods to soldiers passing through Boston to the value of
$120,000. In addition to their many other activities, three ambulances
were sent abroad by the Empire State Society, one by the Illinois
Society, and one by the New Jersey Society. The members of the
Empire State Society subscribed to over $153,000,000 worth of bonds
of the first four Liberty Loans. The returns for the Fifth Liberty
Loan are not in, but will probably bring their record to about $200,-
000,000. What the total of loan subscriptions by all the members of
the National Society is cannot as yet be said, but it will run into many
hundreds of millions of dollars.
Of the 24S members of the Utah Society, 55 enlisted in the Army
and Navy.
About 25 per cent of the membership of the Wisconsin Society
served in the Army and Navy.
Many State Societies presented service bars to their members who
enlisted and will present bronze medals to them.
Individual services of members cover work on exemption boards,
local advisory boards, Liberty Loan committees, in Thrift Stamp drives,
Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., in Department of State, in Department of
Justice, American Protective League, Armenian Relief, as four-minute
speakers, getting up public meetings, Home Guard, fatherless children
of France, as food administrators, as coal administrators, and in fact
126 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
in practically every form of war service. In a large number of in-
stances, the chairman of not only local but of county and State com-
mittees were members of our Society.
Lieut.-Col. C. Seymour Bullock, of Connecticut, organized the Ameri-
can Legion of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces.
Compatriot Noyes, a former President of the Illinois Society, gave
property to the University of Chicago to the amount of $3,500,000, as
a perpetual educational fund for American soldiers and sailors who
served in the great war for liberty.
Important and splendid services were rendered by every State So-
ciety, and the details of such service will be found in the reports at-
tached, or to be attached, hereto.
Exact figures as to the number of our members who were enlisted
in the Army and Navy are not as yet available, but in excess of 12 per
cent of the total membership of the Society, or, say, about eighteen
hundred, so served. They were in all branches of the Army and Navy
and of all ranks up to and including major general and rear admiral.
The record of those who gave their lives for their country is as yet
by no means complete, but the following have so far been reported :
Capt. Merritt U. Lamb, of Michigan.
Lieut. Edward H. Locke, of Michigan.
Lieut. Clarence F. Conner, of Michigan.
Lieut. Harry Hastings Melick, of Nebraska.
Lieut. Walter Stillman, of Nebraska.
Lieut. Harrison Cummins McHenry, of Iowa.
Lieut. Burr Budd Boies, of Iowa.
Lieut. Charles Cedric Seevers, of Iowa.
Brig. Gen. Lyman W. V. Kennon, of District of Columbia.
Lieut. Louis Hamilton Bayly, of District of Columbia.
Capt. Waterbury, of Illinois.
Lieut. George R. Sutherland, of Wisconsin.
Lieut. Macnish, of Wisconsin.
Lieut. Gormley, of Wisconsin.
Lieut. Richard Earle Beall, of Idaho.
Lieut. Briggs K. Adams, of New Jersey.
Lieut. William W. Punchard, Jr., of New Jersey.
Lieut. Frank J. Selbel, of New York.
Lieut. L. W. Bates, Jr., of New York.
Lieut. Edward C. Kimble, of New York.
Lieut. Edgar B. Lowerie, of New York.

PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 1 27
Your War Service Committee asks that, in addition to submitting
the present report, it be permitted to turn over to the Secretary Gen-
eral further data as rapidly as it is collected, until such time as the
war work record is completed.
Respectfully submitted,
Carl M. Vail,
Chairman.
The Chair: The partial report of the committee is received with
thanks and will be referred to the Committee on Official Reports. I
ask you to remain just for a few minutes longer, that we may com-
plete the receiving of the reports so as to have the morning free for
unfinished business and new business. Is there a report from the Flag
Committee, of which Compatriot William V. Cox is chairman?
The Secretary General submitted the report of the Flag Committee,
Mr. Cox, the chairman, being unable to be present. It was as follows :
REPORT OF THE FLAG COMMITTEE.
The Flag Committee, National Society, Sons of the American Revo-
lution, begs to report that American manhood successfully defending
the Flag of the United States on and beyond the seas has made the flag
more glorious in the eyes of the world.
On this side of the Atlantic, the great German invasion in Europe
has made the flag more precious; Americans everywhere reconsecrating
themselves to it and the principles for which it stands and for which
our sons fought and died.
Never before have there been so many flags triumphantly waving, nor
so many tributes written in prose and poetry to the glory and honor of
the flag, at the same time so little said of the needs of a Federal law
to protect its sanctity as the symbol of the Government of the United
States.
As a people we honor the flag, but there are men and women living
under its protective folds who are not in sympathy with our institu-
tions and who love another flag that has no place in the Republic
established by our fathers. Anticipating conflicts, riots, and possibly
bloodshed with these un-Americans, the Honorable Henry Zenas
Osborne, of California, introduced a bill on December 3, 1918 (H. R.
T3I95» 65th Congress, 3d session), to prohibit the public or private dis-
play of certain flags and emblems and prescribing for violation thereof.
This bill, referred to the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of
Representatives, was not acted on.
There is room for but one flag in the United States, and that the
flag of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution— the flag
that stands for order, justice, and peace.
In recent years this flag has been torn down and trampled on. It
has been abused and commercially misused by promoters, fakers, and
others, who for business purposes have taken advantage of its beauty
and made it an advertising banner.
The records show that the Sons of the American Revolution and
other patriotic societies have petitioned and urged the Congress of the
United States to enact a law to protect its flag from every kind of
degredation. All efforts have failed to secure the passage of such
a bill in both bodies of the same Congress. If individuals and societies
would agree on a measure and unitedly present it to Congress, as
recommended in previous reports of this committee, it seems rational
128 SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
to believe that the creators of the flag would protect that which they
created. Mr. Justice Harlan has said in legal dictum :
"To every true American the 'flag is the symbol of the Nation's
power, the Emblem of Freedom, in its truest, best sense. It is not
extravagant to say that to all lovers of the country it signifies govern-
ment resting on the consent of the governed; liberty regulated by law;
the protection of the weak against the strong; security against the
exercise of arbitrary power, and absolute safety for free institutions
against foreign aggression."
Thoughtful Americans believe that a Federal flag law is needed to
prevent desecration, intentional or otherwise. Experience has shown
that merely the sense of propriety and knowledge of fitness cannot
always be relied on, an additional reason why offenders against the
flag and Federal Government should be restrained by due process of
law. Absence of well defined legal protection of the flag has caused
violence and disorder, as witnessed in many of the States of the Union.
In a large number of cases indiscriminate physical punishment has
been inflicted on those outraging the flag by infuriated citizens and
soldiers who had upheld that flag on the battlefields of France.
The committee believes that the foreign-born enemies of our country
who dishonor the flag should be deported from our country for our
country's good. American-born enemies should be imprisoned, and
thus prevented from spreading treason.
To force a traitor to kiss the flag as a punishment is a mistake that
should not be repeated. Unworthies should never be permitted to
place their lips on the flag that represents American civilization, a flag
which should be kept clean and free from pollution. If such willful
abuses of the flag are not punished by law, would it not be a more
fitting punishment to force foul-mouthed desecrators to kiss the shadow
of the flag in the dust of the street?
The flag is more frequently desecrated unintentionally, thoughtlessly,
and through ignorance than maliciously, which shows the need of
further inspiration as to what the flag stands for, its proper use and
abuse. Mrs. Isabell Worrell Ball, the well-known patriotic writer,
tells the following, illustrating ignorance and lack of propriety by well-
meaning persons : '"In a haberdasher shop there posed a clay figure,
dressed presumably as a gentleman. On the corner of his turned-down
collar two flags were woven; his necktie had two flags on it, worn up-
side down (a signal of distress in the language of the flag) ; a bow-
knot flag, upside down, ornamented the lapel of his coat. A flag hand-
kerchief, also upside down, was in his breast pocket. Conspicuous blue
socks with two white stripes, between which two flags were woven,
covered the feet. Two young ladies appeared. Looking at the
grotesque figure, one, who also wore a flag hat and flag stockings, ex-
claimed, 'Oh, isn't it just too sweet the way that figure has the flags
arranged. I am just crazy about the flag.' " The bad taste here dis-
played confirms the diagnosis. Fortunately cases like this grow fewer
each year as the result of the campaign of education carried on by
teachers, patriotic instructors, organized and unorganized, and by the
various patriotic societies.
President Wilson in his Flag Day Proclamation said, "Let us on that
day (June 14) rededicate ourselves to the Nation * * * for an
America which no man can corrupt, no influence draw away from
its ideals, no force divide against itself — a Nation signally distinguished
among all the nations of mankind for its clear individual conception
alike of its duties and its privileges, its obligations, and its rights."
Among patriotic instructors may be mentioned Capt. E. R. Lewis, of
Chicago, President of the American Flag Day Association, who has a
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 1 29
large collection of examples of flag desecrations, which he uses with
telling results when addressing meetings in American cities on the proper
use of the flag. Captain Lewis wrote President Wilson asking him to
have war-workers keep the flag at the front, protesting against it being
in the background of uncensored war posters.
The National Association of Advertising Specialty Manufacturers of
Chicago is to be highly commended for the advanced position taken
in protecting the flag in advertising and for its publication and dis-
tribution of flag laws of the States.
The District of Columbia Society of the Sons of the American Revo-
lution recites the American's Creed at all its meetings. At two func-
tions this year the Creed was recited by its author, William Tyler Page,
of Maryland, as follows: "I believe in the United States of America
as a Government of the people, by the people, and for the people; whose
just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy
in a Republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect
Union, one and inseparable, established upon those principles of free-
dom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots
sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
"I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support
its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag and to defend it
against all enemies."
Rules as to the use of the flag, prepared by our associate, General
James Rush Lincoln, Professor of Military Science and Tactics, Iowa
State College, have received the approval of the committee and may
be found in the appendix.
The form of respect due the National Anthem has also greatly im-
proved. This is ascribed largely to the training of our sons in the
cantonments and by patriotic instruction by willing war-workers. The
regulations of the War Department provide that, "Whenever the Na-
tional Anthem is played at any place when persons belonging to the
military service are present, all officers and enlisted men not in forma-
tion shall stand at attention, facing toward the music (except at retreat,
when they shall face toward the flag). If in uniform, covered, they
shall salute at the first note of the anthem, retaining the position of
salute until the last note of the anthem. If not in uniform, and covered,
they shall uncover at the first note of the anthem, holding the head-
dress opposite the left shoulder and so remain until its close, except
that in inclement weather the head-dress may be held slightly raised.
"The same rules apply when 'To the Color' or 'To the Standard' is
sounded as when the National Anthem is played.
"When played by an Army band, the National Anthem shall be played
through without repetition of any part not required to be repeated to
make it complete.
"The same mark of respect prescribed for observance during the play-
ing of the National Anthem of the United States shall be shown toward
the national anthem of any other country when played upon official
occasions."
Attention being called to the condition of flags that had become dis-
colored, weatherbeaten, and torn by long usage, as not properly repre-
senting the pride of the Nation's Capital, those responsible immediately
substituted new ones. In this connection, the committee calls atten-
tion to the action of the National Association of Dyers and Cleaners,
representing over a thousand plants in various cities, which adopted a
resolution at its last meeting at Atlantic City, tendering its plants to
the Government for whatever use the Government might put them,
and volunteering to clean free of expense every flag in home localities.
This patriotic offer, novel in character, is highly commended.
130 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Bills protecting the Flag of the United States will be introduced
again at the coming session of the Sixty-sixth Congress of the United
States and with your approval will receive the active support of your
Flag Committee, emulating the example of General Omar Bundy at
Chateau-Thiery, when he said, "The American flag has been forced
to retire. This is unendurable. * * * We are going to counter-
attack."
W. V. Cox.
Chairman.
APPENDIX.
The following rules will be complied with in the use of the United
States Flag:
When the flag is displayed from a staff the upper halyard will be
attached to the upper corner of the flag, or upper corner of the union,
and drawn up tight to the pulley. The lower halyard will be attached
to the lower corner of the flag and will be allowed to be loose so as
to not unnecessarily whip out the flag. The flag should be raised in
the morning and lowered before sundown. When the flag is to be
displayed at half staff it will first be raised to the top of the staff and
then lowered to a position not more than one-third the distance from
the top of the staff. When it is to be lowered from half staff it will
first be drawn up to its position at the top of the staff and from there
lowered. Never raise the flag and stop at half staff or lower it direct
from half staff. On the Fourth of July the flag flies at full staff, and
at 12 o'clock a salute to the Union is fired when artillery is available.
A salute to the Union consists of one discharge for each State, at
present being a salute of forty-eight guns. Memorial Day the flag is
raised to the top of the staff and dropped to half staff. At 12 o'clock
the flag is raised to full staff, from which position it is lowered at
sunset. The flag at half staff is in honor of the dead. At full staff
it is in honor of the living. When it is changed, on this occasion, from
half to full staff, if practicable, the Star-spangled Banner should be
played and followed by other patriotic airs, if desired.
The flag represents the Nation and should be saluted when carried
by a color-bearer with a guard of at least two men. When the flag is
carried without being in charge of a guard it is not a representative
of the Nation. It requires a guard to give it its full dignity. When
carried as indicated, when the flag passes, it should be saluted by
facing toward it, and when in uniform and covered, by coming to the
position of salute, the hand held at salute until it is passed, when the
hand is smartly dropped to the side. If passing the flag, the salute is
rendered as you pass it in the same manner. If in civilian clothes,
face toward the flag, remove the hat and hold it in front of the left
shoulder for the time, as indicated in the preceding instructions. If
uncovered, stand at attention, facing the flag, and salute. If passing
the flag uncovered, salute with the hand in passing. The flag carried
on a lance as indicated with a guard is called "colors," and should
never be witout a guard unless it is placed where it is kept for safe-
keeping.
The Flag Used in Decorations.
The flag, when displayed from a window or a door of a building,
should have the union on the side opposite the building. When sus-
pended from a rope in the center of the street, in streets running east
and west, the union should be to the north ; in streets running north
and south, the union should be to the east. When used for interior
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 131
decorating the flag should be displayed on the wall, the union on the
left. In this position the flag can be draped as desired. If it is desired,
can be draped with their unions approximately together, the stripes
being draped to the right and left. The "National Colors" render no
salute; hence in decorations the flag should never be drooped which
brings the stripes perpendicular. Flags should never be used as a
covering for tables or stands or placed in any position that they can
be soiled by contact.
Jas. Rush Lincoln.
The Secretary General : I wish to say, in connection with this re-
port, that if the program of the National House of Representatives
was carried out as expected, the Hon. William Tyler Page was elected
Clerk of the National House of Representatives today, a position in
the National House of Representatives second only to that of the
Speakership itself.
The Chair: The report will take the usual course. We will now
have the report of the Special Committee on Increased Membership,
of which Mr. Lewis B. Curtis is chairman.
Compatriot Curtis : I think my report is unique in one thing — it is
all on one page. I might state, in connection with the report, that in
some of the smaller States having a smaller membership the per-
centages ran very much higher than in States with a large member-
ship. One State gained over 100 per cent, but it was due to its small
membership. New Jersey made the banner gains of the larger societies.
Compatriot Curtis then presented the report as follows:
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON INCREASED MEMBERSHIP.
Immediately on your committee receiving their appointment at the
close of the last Congress, the undersigned, as chairman, wrote all the
members of the committee and suggested to them that, on account of
their being so widely scattered, it would probably be impossible to hold
regular meetings and direct the work as a body, and suggested that of
necessity some one member must carry on the work under general
supervision of the committee. The undersigned was unanimously
elected to carry on the work and most of the correspondence has been
done by him. This statement is made without any idea of claiming
credit but rather to assume responsibility and to show that any defects
in the carrying out of the purposes for which the committee was ap-
pointed should not be chargeable to the other members of the com-
mittee. . , ;..
After this preliminary, the writer at once got in correspondence with
all the Vice-Presidents General, urging them in turn to work on the
presidents of the various Societies and endeavor to get the member-
ship committees appointed and a campaign started in each ot the State
Societies This correspondence has been carried on continuously
throughout the year, supplemented by personal visits in as many places
as possible. In many parts of the country the results have been very
-ratifying, as the following figures will show, but still we feel that our
efforts would have been crowned with still greater success had we
have been working in normal times and under ordinary conditions.
During the past year we have been working in the midst of war excite-
ments when campaigns for all kinds of things were being carried on,
I32 SONS OP THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
and we found that so many people were interested in war work and
societies pertaining to the war that it was difficult to arouse interest
in our Society.
The figures of the year are before us, but we will not repeat them
here, as they probably will appear in the report of the Registrar
General, excepting to state that, in spite of the above adverse conditions,
we have added 1,220 members, or an increase of 8 per cent in our total
membership. In many States the percentage has run much higher than
this, as in the case of New Jersey, where the percentage of increase
was approximately 14 per cent.
We found that this work was much greater than any ordinary busy
man could do justice to. We found that, to do it right, it was a man's size
job, which would take the entire time of the very best man who could
be secured. To do it properly, a man should devote his whole time to
it and be prepared to devote a large part of his efforts as a field secre-
tary, working out local problems for the various State Societies, con-
ducting meetings, campaigns, etc., in the localities where the Societies
need strengthening. In fact, we believe that several such men could be
used to advantage.
Respectfully submitted,
Lewis Beers Curtis,
Chairman of Committee on Increased Membership.
The Chair: The report is received with the thanks of the Congress
and referred to the Committee on Official Reports. Have we a report
from the Committee on Local Chapters, of which Past President Gen-
eral Woodworth is chairman? From the Committee on Naval and
Military Records, of which Compatriot Charles W. Stewart is chair-
man? From the Committee on National Archives, of which Major
Frederick C. Bryan is chairman? From the Committee on Colors?
I presume Col. George V. Lauman in the presentation of the colors
made the report. We will so accept it. There is no report from the
Legal Aid Committee, because nothing has been referred to that com-
mittee during the year. Is there a report on The Washington Guard,
of which Compatriot Merrill is chairman, or from the Publicity Com-
mittee, of which Compatriot Pierson is chairman?
The Secretary General : Mr. Pierson wrote and said that he would
be unable to be present at this Congress. All of you know him. He
was for years Historian General of this Society.
The Secretary read the following letter from Mr. Pierson, chairman
of the Publicity Committee, as follows :
REPORT OF PUBLICITY DEPARTMENT.
Compatriots of the Thirtieth Congress of the Society of the Sons of
the American Revolution, Greeting:
It was the intention of this department the moment it was created by
appointment of the President General, Compatriot Louis Annin Ames,
to conduct a vigorous campaign in behalf of the society, and to stimu-
late, where necessary, the compatriots to a keener realization of the
duty involving upon them as citizens as well as members of our be-
loved organization.
With this object in view, we began to prepare the plan for the anni-
PROCEEDINGS OE DETROIT CONGRESS. 1 33
versary remembrance of Constitution Day, on September 17. The
proclamation of the President General calling upon the members to
celebrate the day was anticipated by a letter sent out by this depart-
ment on August 15, 1918. This was sent to all the general officers,
presidents of Societies and Chapters, to a number of governors of
States, mayors of cities, and also to many newspapers. Through the
kindly offices of Compatriot Arthur S. Thompson, an article prepared
by the chairman was sent over the wires to every newspaper patroniz-
ing the Associated Press for release on the morning of September 16,
the day preceding the anniversary.
Gratifying reports were received from many of the Societies and
individual compatriots of the success attending the celebration, the
second in the history of the country, and which was inaugurated by
our Society.
The epidemic of the fall and early winter, with the many important
happenings in the country and the world, forbade any active work
after that date till the thirtieth anniversary of our Society, on April 30.
On April 30 a circular letter was sent to the presidents of Societies
and Chapters, and to others, by direction of our President General, call-
ing attention to the forthcoming anniversary of our National Charter
and Guide, and requesting immediate action by the societies for pro-
moting the movement in their respective communities and localities for
its nation-wide observance. The attention of the compatriots was also
called to the importance of this Congress.
Please let me ask each and every member of this Congress to use
every honorable means at his command to bring about an enthusiastic
and inspirational celebration of this most notable day in our national
life. Individual participation in the movement is absolutely necessary
if we are to make it more impressive than the two previous ones. Let
us send up our prayer of thanksgiving to Almighty God that He has
safeguarded us on our journey of nearly a century and a third; let us
proclaim to the world our belief in the true American spirit of loyalty
to the principles of the Founders as enunciated in the two great docu-
ments; let us reaffirm our allegiance to the flag and to the glorious
institutions it represents ; let us, through the mediums of public meet-
ings and individual missionary work, impress upon the new-comer and
the indifferent citizen the mighty responsibility devolving upon all who
claim protection of the best and most enlightened government in the
world.
Respectfully submitted,
David L. Pierson,
Chairman.
The Chair: The report is received with the thanks of the Congress
and will take the usual course. That concludes all the reports of the
officers and committees. There is but one item of unfinished business
I know of. If it is your pleasure, we can transact that in two minutes,
so as to close about five o'clock and leave the morning session free for
the transaction of new business and hearing reports from the two im-
portant session committees. Is it your pleasure to take up unfinished
business, which refers to proposed amendments to the constitution? I
will read the proposed amendments, which are as follows :
The Massachusetts Society gave notice at the last Congress and also
through the Official Bulletin, thus complying with the necessary re-
134 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
quirements asked for by our Constitution. The Massachusetts Society
offers this amendment to Section i, Article 3, of the Constitution of
the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution:
Amend Section 1 of Article III of the Constitution of the National
Society of the Sons of the American Revolution by adding thereto after
the words "Great Britain" the following words and figures :
"Provided, however, that any male person, above the age of 18
years and under the age of 21 years, whose qualifications in regard
to ancestry and personal character are as above prescribed, shall be
eligible to a qualified membership to be known and designated as
junior membership, said junior membership to permit to each junior
member all privileges granted to full membership except those of
holding office, of voting, of holding any interest in the property or
funds of the Society or of any Chapter thereof, or of receiving a cer-
tificate of membership except as hereinafter provided, or of wearing
any insignia of the Society other than the rosette ; a special certificate
may be issued to such junior member in such form as may be pre-
scribed by the Board of Trustees: providing such junior member
shall not be in arrears for dues, on attaining the age of twenty-one
years he shall automatically be vested with full membership in the
Society."
The Chair: I recognize the President of the Massachusetts Society.
Compatriot Henry Fuller Punderson: Our members, many of them,
obtain membership in this Society from ancestors whose service was
performed when they were very much under 21 years of age, and we
think it is unfair that men of Revolutionary ancestry who are con-
sidered of military age in the present war should not be associated
with us because of the age limit in our By-Laws. The present motion
is in the way of a compromise. Our original idea was to admit the
men of 18 years of age into the same membership that all of us
enjoy, but this was found to have some legal difficulties which made it
inadvisable, because it would require a change in the charter. As a
consequence, the present measure is drawn, which I am told by various
members of the legal fraternity who are members of our Society, amply
gets around that from the fact that the junior membership proposed de-
nies to the man any voting power or property rights in the Society
and in nowise invalidates the charter of this Society. We are anxious
to have this resolution adopted by the National Society, and I so move.
(Motion seconded.)
A Member: Has the committee passed on this?
The Chair: It has been passed upon by the Executive Committee,
who recommended it for adoption, and by your trustees, who recom-
mended it for adoption. Are there any remarks?
(There being no discussion, the motion was unanimously adopted.)
The Chair: The other proposed amendment was offered by the
Maryland State Society and seconded by the Empire State Society,
and reads as follows :
Amend Section 4, Article V, of the Constitution of the National
Society by adding a new paragraph to the section :
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 1 35
The members of the Executive Committee other than the President
General shall be known as Directors General, and by virtue of their
office shall be members of the National Congress and entitled to vote
at the annual meeting of the National Congress during their terms of
office.
The Chair : I recognize the representative from the Maryland Society
on our Executive Board, who was the former President of the Mary-
land Society, Judge Reifsnider.
Compatriot Reifsnider: I will not undertake to comment upon this
amendment, which has been before the compatriots and was published
in the publication from which you have just read. I move the adop-
tion of that amendment, making the change in the Constitution.
(The motion was seconded and unanimously adopted.)
The Chair : Is there any other item of unfinished business that you
would like to take up at this time?
Vice-President General Read: Mr. President General, I noticed as
you were presiding over the deliberations of this Congress that you
moved the gavel as if it were something which had no special signifi-
cance. I come from a State which is rich in historic memories, and
without going into further details, compatriots, I have the consent of
the President of the Society to present this motion, that the State
Society of Massachusetts will present the National Society, in order
to have it produced at the next Congress, with this historic gavel,
which contains pieces of wood from buildings which are memorable
in the history of this country, and I submit that proposition to you.
The Chair: That proposition requires no action by the Congress.
The Chair most promptly and graciously accepts this offer of the his-
toric gavel from the Old Bay State. I thank you very much for this
kind offer, though I presume the gavel will go in the archives of the
Society, as other historic gavels have gone, and that the next President
will preside with a gavel similar to this and it may be an inspiration
to receive other historic gavels. Is there any other business to come
before this session? If not, we will take a recess to the hour that
you suggest.
It was moved and carried to take a recess until May 20, 9.30 a. m.
Thirtieth Annual Congress,
Detroit, Mich., May 20, 1919.
Congress convened at 9.30 a. m., President General Ames in the
chair.
The Chair: I ask the compatriots to kindly come to order. Our
gavel has disappeared, but I do not believe this gathering needs a
gavel. Vice-President General Thomas W. Williams will please take
the chair.
(Vice-President General Williams takes the chair.)
The Secretary General read a telegram of greeting from the Wash-
ington State Society, and also the report submitted by Mr. John Lenord
Merrill on the Washington Guard, the same being as follows:
136 sons of the: American revolution.
66 Broadway, New York, May 14, 1919.
To the President General, National Society, Sons of the American
Revolution, in Congress assembled at Detroit, Mich.
Mr. President General : I regret extremely that I can report little
progress in the work of the National Commandery of the Washington
Guard of the Sons of the American Revolution. I have given con-
siderable time to the work, but without the active co-operation of the
State Societies we can accomplish little. Our work has been handi-
capped to a considerable extent by war conditions. I rejoice to say
that the honor roll of the Washington Guard is of credit to the Sons
of the American Revolution, and I trust some day that we may be
able to compile a full record of the services of all the sons of our
members under age who have so zealously and heroically served their
country in the great World War.
May I respectfully urge upon this Congress that instructions should
be issued to each State Society to compile a list of the sons of members
in the respective States. With such a list and full data accompanying
the same, we can proceed to thoroughly organize the Washington
Guard. Without it we can do little.
I consider the Washington Guard a valuable asset to our Society
and my services are always at your command. I trust, however, that
it may be possible to interest a number of younger members in the
work, appointing them to the general offices and allowing us to aid
them in the work.
Respectfully submitted.
John Lenord Merrill,
Governor General.
The Chair: You have heard this report. What is your pleasure?
If there are no objections, it will take the usual course and be referred
to the Committee on Official Reports. Will the Secretary General
kindly read a letter just received from Vice-President General Frank
W. Rawles?
The Secretary General read the letter, as follows.
Little Rock, Ark., May 17, 1919.
Mr. Louis Annin Ames,
President General, S. A. R., Detroit, Mich.
Dear President General: I regret very much to find, at the last
moment, that I cannot attend the National Congress at Detroit this
year. I had looked forward to this with a great deal of pleasure.
I had hoped to be able to report something as to all the Societies in
my district, but am unable to do so, owing to many of them not giving
me the data.
The State of Louisiana, reported last year as having 102 members,
now has 215 members, with six applications pending — an increase of
113 members, or over 1 10 per cent. This will not only entitle her to
one of the "Ames Banners," but also to the Traveling Banner.
I regret that President C. Robert Churchill cannot be there. The
Society will be represented by delegates, however.
I am informed by President E. G. Spilman, of the Oklahoma Society,
that they have surpassed the requirements necessary to win one of the
Ames banners, though I cannot give you the exact figures.
This Society has been active in war measures, and, through a peti-
tion presented to the legislature, steps have been taken toward the

gave their lives to their country. Constitution Day was observed.
North Dakota has been doing good work, though their increase will
probably not entitle them to a banner.
Minnesota has been doing good work, though I have not been in-
formed as to late activities.
Arkansas has had the best year in her history. Though her report
last year showed 61 members, in reality it was only 59, as one of the
members reported had died the year before, and another member was
counted who did not complete his papers nor pay his dues until last
February. She paid on 74 members this year, or an increase of 15
members net.
Arkansas observed Washington's Birthday, La Fayette's Birthday,
and other events. Our Society, unaided, secured the passage of a
flag law last winter, modeled after the national bill. It was signed
in the presence of members of all the patriotic societies.
Her members took active parts in all war activities, eleven of her
members were officers in our National Army, and several of them
were wounded on the field of battle. Mr. Marc F. Sanderson will
represent Arkansas at the Detroit Congress.
Regretting that I have not further data as to the Mississippi Valley,
West District, and wishing Detroit a most successful Congress,
I am, most cordially,
Frank W. RawlES,

The Chair: We thank the committee and its able chairman for the
delightful manner and the efficient way in which he has disposed of all
of yesterday's official reports of the officers and committees.
We will now have the report of the Committee on Resolutions, of
which Past President General R. C. Ballard Thruston is the chairman.
Is Past President General Thruston in the room or has he designated
some other member of the committee to report? While we are waiting
for the report of that committee I ask if there is any new business
to come before the Congress at this time? If not, it is my pleasure
to call to the platform the Presidents of the Massachusetts and New
Jersey Societies. Last year, as you know, New Jersey had the honor
and the distinction of presenting to the Massachusetts Society the
Syracuse banner, to be awarded to the Society showing the largest in-
crease in membership during the year. This banner was won the
previous year by New Jersey, and presented to Massachusetts, who will
now return it to New Jersey, that State having a record of 141 new
members during the past year. Will the representative of Massa-
chusetts, Compatriot Silsby, kindly come forward, and I call upon
President Punderson to make the presentation. Will President Vail,
of New Jersey, come forward and receive the flag in trust for another
year? Compatriot Punderson has the floor.
I40 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Compatriot PundErson : Mr. President General and Compatriots, it
becomes my duty to present to the representative of the New Jersey
Society this beautiful banner, known as the Syracuse Traveling Ban-
ner. The Massachusetts Society worked hard to obtain this banner
and we strove manfully to retain it. The New Jersey Society could
not be overcome. I want you to take this banner and keep it care-
fully, for we are determined to take it from you next year. (Laughter
and applause.)
Compatriot Vail : Mr. President General and Compatriots, a year ago
I stood at the Rochester Congress opposite the President of the Massa-
sachusetts Society and I was obliged then to pass this banner over
to Massachusetts. New Jersey worked hard to keep it, but failed;
but at that time I said to the President of the Massachusetts Society
that New Jersey was not going to be without it for more than one
year. I wish to call attention to the fact that New Jersey has made
good. (Applause.) The President of the Massachusetts Society has
said that we should keep it carefully, for Massachusetts was going
to make a desperate effort to get it back. If Massachusetts gets it
back, it will have to run for its money, for we are going to keep it
more than one }rear. (Applause.)
The Chair : A Traveling Banner was presented by the Colorado
Society, to be awarded each year to the State numbering one hundred
or more which can now show the greatest net percentage of increase
in membership. This banner has never been won by any State in the
Far South. This year, however, Louisiana will have the honor of re-
ceiving this trophy, having made the enormous percentage of increase
of 108.8 per cent. This Society has more than doubled its membership
during the past year, and I ask the representative of the Louisiana
Society, Compatriot J. H. Weston, to come forward. (Applause.)
And I ask the President of the State who won this banner last year
to kindly come forward, the loyal representative of the loyal State
of Wisconsin.
Compatriot Walter H. Wright (Wis.) : I trust that the com-
patriots will not think that Wisconsin has kept the banner up there,
for we shipped it down here, but it has not arrived.
The Chair : I am sorry we cannot find this banner, and I ask Com-
patriot Robinson to bring forward the brightest and best banner in
the world, and we will use that as the presentation banner. President
Wright, of the Wisconsin Society, will make the presentation.
Compatriot Wright: Mr. President General and Compatriots, Wis-
consin, very much to its surprise, received this banner last year for
having the largest percentage of gains. This percentage question, if
you gentlemen have ever figured it out, works very peculiarly. I recall
the story of a gentleman who was representing a nursery. He sold a
friend of his some very choice grape settings, and after the trade
had been made, the gentleman asked him what percentage he had
made on the sale. He said, "Well, my friend, I have charged you
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 141
three dollars a root; I know nothing about figuring percentage, but
they cost us 6 cents apiece. If you can figure the percentage, please
do so." After figuring for a long time and covering two pages of
paper, he said, "It can't be done; it runs away out of percentage into
highway robbery." (Laughter.) I do not mean to intimate that my
friends from Louisiana have committed highway robbery, but Wisconsin
has been very proud to be the possessor of this flag for the past year,
and we take great pleasure in handing it over to our good brothers
in the Southland. (Applause.)
Compatriot Weston (La.) : As long as the Wisconsin people have
failed to produce the Traveling Banner, I am very proud to receive the
true banner of all Americans, our American Flag. (Applause.) I wish
to state to the compatriots that we in Louisiana and throughout all the
South value our citizenship in this country very highly. We are jealous
of it; we have tried to guard our ballot. We have tried to make it an
American country, and I think that the Louisianians who were in the
Marines at Chateau-Thierry and the other points did their service to
this flag the same as the man from Wisconsin or Michigan did. I
thank you, compatriots. (Applause.)
[The Traveling Banner was found in the care of the Secretary of
the Michigan Society and presented to the representative of the Lou-
isiana Society.]
The Chair : I ask Vice-President General Charles French Read to
kindly come forward and take the chair.
(Vice-President General Read takes the chair.)
The Chair : Mr. President General and Compatriots, I esteem it a
great honor to preside temporarily over the affairs of this Congress and
accept it as a great honor for the Old Bay State, which I represent.
President General Ames: May I have the floor for a few minutes?
Mr. Vice-President General and Compatriots, It is a very pleasant
duty that I have before me. Some of you will recall that a year ago,
at the Congress, when so many of our compatriots had answered the
call to the colors, when so many of our compatriots were engaged in
activities that were necessary for the faithful carrying out of the enter-
prise that our Nation had entered into, I offered a banner, to be pre-
sented to each State Society who during the year which is now closed
had achieved at least 20 per cent in increased membership, a banner to
be held in perpetuity by the State Society. And now that we have
achieved the desired goal, a victory for the world and for the principles
which this Nation holds most dear, it is my privilege to make good on
the offer that I made at that time. There is one disappointment, how-
ever, and that is that there are not to be 48 banners to be presented
today instead of seven banners. I am very happy to say that quite
early in the year I knew that Louisiana would win a banner, and the
banner is here. I did not know until the latter part of last week what
other State Societies would be entitled to these banners; consequently
they are not here in completed form; but they are here in sufficient
142 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
condition to be presented, and my good friend, Compatriot Robertson,
the Secretary of the Maryland Society, has consented to assist me in
the presentation. I ask him to bring forth the banners as called for.
Compatriot Weston, the representative of the Louisiana Society,
please kindly come forward. I have the great honor and pleasure of
presenting to you, Compatriot Weston, as the representative of the Lou-
isiana State Society, this banner for having gone over the top, Lou-
isiana having increased the membership of its Society over 108 per
cent, and there is no happier duty devolving upon me at this Conven-
tion than to present this banner. I trust that Louisiana will keep the
banner, not only as a memento of the great increase in membership
that it has made, but of its devotion and loyalty to the ideals of the
Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, and particularly the
interest it has in the National Organization. (Applause.)
Compatriot Weston : Mr. President General, Mr. Chairman, and
Compatriots, in receiving this banner in behalf of the Louisiana So-
ciety, we will always remember Detroit, Mr. Ames, and all the members
we have met here very pleasantly. I say we ; I speak for our whole
Chapter. I would like to call the attention of the Society to the absence
of representatives of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and the Carolinas.
The Daughters are strong in those States. Why is it that there is no
representative of those States here? There are, I think, in New Orleans
descendants of the Signers of the Declaration. We tried to get them
to come into our Society, but we have failed. Now I think that there
is a very large field in those States that is being opened up as a new
country. I would like to invite every man's and woman's attention to
our South. In Louisiana we have some of the greatest salt mines. We
have the largest sulphur mine, one of our principal assets during this
war. We contributed largely to the oil and gasoline supply. We con-
tributed sugar and cotton. Louisiana is the second lumber-producing
State in the United States. We were not dependent upon any foreign
country for sulphur. We furnished the bulk of the lumber for the
cantonments. The South furnished about 300,000 cars of lumber in
about ninety days for the cantonments, and that is some feat for any
people to do. Even if they do have the hookworm down there and
mosquitoes and things like that, I don't think we are so very slow. I
thank you all. (Applause.)
President General Ames : I would like to have come forward the
representative of Oklahoma. Oklahoma has the distinction of having
increased its membership 28 per cent during the past year. Is there any
representative from the State of Oklahoma present? I ask President
George Albert Smith, of Utah, to come forward. (Applause.)
It is a pleasure, on behalf of the National Society, to present this
banner to the Utah Society for its interest in the National Society.
The National Society asks you to accept this banner, when completed,
as showing what a deep affection we have for the Utah Society, of
which you are the worthy President. (Applause.)
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 1 43
Compatriot George Albert Smith : Mr. President and Compatriots,
this is a very auspicious occasion to me. I have been coming to these
meetings regularly, and last year we thought we had the Traveling
Banner, but we missed it by just three members, and I think that we
missed it because we figured that we would keep it another year and
we did not get all the members we might have had ; so we blame our-
selves. This year we started out with a determination to have one of
these banners, and I am grateful, on behalf of the Utah Society, to
receive this, and accept it with the feeling that it will be one of our
treasures. Utah is one of the newest States of the Union, way out in
the mountains, but we always feel at home with our compatriots, and
I take this opportunity, as a representative of the Utah Society, to
thank the members who are here for their uniform kindness to the
delegates from Utah who have attended the Congress. I have come
farther than any other member here to attend the Congress, and I be-
lieve I have got as much out of it and as good a time as any of you.
(Applause.) I accept this banner from President General Ames, and
desire to say to him that there are a number of our associates in Utah
who are interested in him, and it gives us a special pleasure to receive
at his hands this beautiful gift. I would like to say further that the
Utah Society pledges itself not to be satisfied with 20 per cent, but to
continue to increase the membership of the Society out there as we
find members in different places. And now I would like to say that the
last time we calculated Utah was sixth among the States of the Union
in membership in proportion to her population. We take this back with
the hope that we will carry off the Traveling Banner next year, and we
would like the two contending States to take notice that we are after
it and that we intend to carry it off. (Applause.)
President General Ames : The representative of the State of Arkan-
sas. Arkansas has an increased membership of 25 per cent. The banner
is here. I regret to say the representative from Arkansas is not here.
The banner will be sent.
Will the representative from the State of Idaho come forward?
Idaho increased its membership 24 per cent, and the banner is here and
will be forwarded to Idaho. Is there a representative present? I know
there is one from Wisconsin, and I ask President Wright to come for-
ward. "To him who gives, he shall receive." (Laughter and applause.)
Compatriot Wright: Mr. President General and Compatriots, you
see what you can do with percentage. (Laughter and applause.) We
will take this banner to Wisconsin, Mr. President General, and with it
we will take the recollection of your generosity in presenting it, and
we shall always hold you in grateful memory, and we trust at some
time in the future that we may have a visit from you in person. I
thank you. (Applause.) . .
President General Ames : It will be a pleasure and an honor to visit
the State of Wisconsin and the S. A. R. Society and look upon their
consolation banner in their own home. (Applause.)
144 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Will the representative of the Missouri Society, Mr. Linn Paine,
come forward? Missouri has the record of having increased its mem-
bership 27.5 per cent. (Applause.) I am very happy to present this
banner to the representative from the State of Missouri, and I know
that he will be just as happy to take it home, and with it the friendship,
the fellowship, and the joy of the National Society in the increased
prosperity of the Missouri Society. (Applause.)
Compatriot Paine : Mr. President, it appears that this entire Na-
tional Congress rejoices with me in the fact that Missouri has won this
prize. I assure you that I am very proud of it and very grateful to
you as the donor and very grateful to the Society for the assistance
that they have given us. I shall convey this to St. Louis and see that
it is presented to the State organization with fitting ceremony. This is
given to us as a mark of work well done, but we prefer to receive it as
a token of work well begun; we have not ended. (Applause.) We
believe that this will lead us on to greater achievements. We will see
that it is exhibited in the State of Missouri and throughout the Missis-
sippi Valley, and we shall use it as an aid in promoting the great prin-
ciples of the Sons of the American Revolution, the truest and purest
Americanism. (Applause.)
The Chair : Compatriots, I think we are all agreed that we are very
much indebted to our President General for having introduced this new
feature into our Congresses by his courteous and generous offer.
Past President General Thruston : Your Committee on Resolutions
think that President General Ames has introduced into our proceedings
a most interesting and unique feature, one which has never been intro-
duced before except in a smaller way. It was done by the Colorado
Society a number of years ago, in the form of the Traveling Banner,
and we feel that President General Ames is entitled to special thanks
for these beautiful banners and for this beautiful ceremony which he
has instituted. We therefore desire to introduce the following resolu-
tion:
Resolved, That the thanks of the National Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution be, and they are hereby, tendered to President
General Ames for the banners presented through the Congress to the
State Societies of Louisiana, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Idaho,
Wisconsin, and Utah, whose membership has been, during this past
year, increased 20 per cent or more.
And we would suggest that, if it meets with the approval of the
Congress, this be done by a rising vote.
The Chair : Compatriots, you have heard the motion as introduced
by Past President General Thruston.
Compatriot Curtis, chairman of the Committee on Increased Mem-
bership : As chairman of the Committee on Increased Membership, I
rise to second this motion. I feel a personal interest in it because
Mr. Ames made this generous offer not only for the benefit of the
Society, but to help me in my work on that committee. (Laughter.)
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 145
It is a thing that has never been done before, and he made the offer
through my committee. And believe me, gentlemen, it has helped us
very much, and it gives me great pleasure to second that motion of
the Past President General.
Compatriot Bacon : These banners as presented by Mr. Ames have
a recruiting value to this Society, and recruiting is what we need. This
Society has 17,000 members, I believe, in the whole United States; the
Daughters have some 100,000 or 110,000, I believe, and I feel a little bit
ashamed of the men, and it seems to me that if the effort is made, as
our friend from Louisiana says, in those Southern States, which are
very much American, that something could be done in this recruiting
line by banners or whatever it might be, not particularly from a per-
sonal donor, as Mr. Ames, our President General, has done, but even
by the Society, and we could build a Society up to the point that it
should reach. We talk about educating the aliens ; we talk about the
Creed of the American Nation ; we circulate that among our people. I
want to say that we are a failure as a Society of the S. A. R. if we
cannot, in this great United States, produce more than 17,000 members.
(Applause.) I am heartily in favor of this resolution of thanks to
our President General. It is going to do a great good.
(The motion was then adopted by a rising vote.)
( President General Ames takes the chair.)
The Chair: After the rising vote I am here. (Laughter.) Com-
patriots, I thank you. I appreciate greatly your expression of good-will
toward me, but the pleasure connected with the banners was entirely
mine. I was thankful that I had the opportunity and that it was my
privilege to make this slight contribution as an incentive to increased
membership this year. And the joy of it is that all of the banners that
have been won have been won by State Societies whose membership
at the beginning of the year was less than 200 each. We have strength-
ened seven of our smaller State Societies. I wish all Societies could
have had banners ; but, as that was not to be, I am reconciled that the
larger Societies, who have memberships sufficient to take care of their
interest and to keep them alive, had to go without banners. I only
wish that the banners had been here all in completed form, but four
days gave very little notice for the workers; but soon the banners will
be sent to the State Societies in completed form, like the one that was
presented to the Louisiana Society. Is there any new business to come
before the house?
Compatriot Remington, President of the Empire State Society: I
would move, Mr. President General, that this organization continue
giving these banners, and that the expense thereof be defrayed by the
Treasury : that a banner be given to each State increasing its member-
ship 20 per cent, at the expense of the National Organization.
(Motion seconded.)
The Chair: And I presume that also carries with it the regulation
that the increase must be at least ten members.
I46 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Treasurer General Burroughs : I would like very much to see a
resolution like that adopted, but the Treasury of the National Society
is not so large as to entail a cost of this character. If the advocates of
increased membership should induce all the State Societies to have
banners, we would have a bankrupt treasury, I am sorry to say, and I
think this motion ought to be presented to a committee and not be
adopted by this Congress at this session.
Past President General Thruston : Just before Treasurer General
Burroughs spoke, I had had the same thought in mind. Having been
President General of the Organization and having had the finances to
consider, it struck me that it would be better to suggest to the mover
of the motion that this matter be referred to the Executive Committee,
to take such action as they think the Society can afford in that matter.
Compatriot Remington : I think that is very proper, and I accept that
suggestion, and I believe that if we get to work that the question will
be properly solved. The increased membership will certainly take care
of the finances, but I think it is very proper that this resolution should
be referred to the Executive Committee with power.
The Chair: The mover of the motion accepts the amendment, and
the motion now is that this matter be referred to the Executive Com-
mittee with power.
Mr. Bacon : I will speak upon the amendment. It seems to me that
reference to the Executive Committee is a little too far off. We have
in the Congress here representative men who have traveled a good
many miles to attend this convention, and it seems to me that we might
raise a fund here today, among the members who are assembled, of,
we will say, $1,000; it can be done at $25 or $50 apiece, if necessary.
Now, if you want to show your Americanism and show your desire
for recruiting, that is something that I believe we should do here
today. I believe these banners are a great incentive for all the Societies,
and I believe that each one of us as individuals should today contribute,
if decided by this Congress, toward a fund to have these banners for
next year, and I make that as an amendment to this motion, that we
take subscriptions from the members here today in order to put this
thing in effect.
Compatriot Banks (N. J.) : It seems to me that the prize is the
individuality of this beautiful banner, and for this Organization to
plan to give a banner to each State which in one year increased its
membership 20 per cent I think would be a great mistake. If a State
has gained in membership, it should have an order of merit added to
it in some way, but the beauty of this banner is its individuality, which
would be destroyed by having it given out every year by the Organi-
zation.
The Chair : There is no second to the amendment, so the motion as
first amended by the mover of the motion is now before the house.
Compatriot Arter : I move to amend by substituting 50 per cent for
20 per cent.
(No second.)
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 147
The Chair: The amendment is not seconded; so the motion before
the house is the original motion as amended, the amendment being
accepted by the mover of the motion. The motion is that the Society
donate a banner to each State organization whose membership is in-
creased 20 per cent, provided that that increase shall not be less than
ten members, and the matter is referred to the Executive Committee
of the Xational Society with power. That is the motion for which the
question has been called.
(Motion adopted.)
Compatriot Curtis (Conn.) : It has been suggested by my neighbor
that we put an extra star on the banner for each additional 10 per cent
they get, very much as they did with the Liberty Loan banner. That
question, of course, can be taken care of by the Executive Committee
when it comes up.
The Chair: Is there any other item of new business to come before
the house at this time? The Secretary has an announcement to make.
The Secretary General : The representative of the Louisiana So-
ciety, Mr. John H. Weston, has had prepared, or, rather, the President
of that Society has had prepared, a book in connection with the
Society. It is not local in its interest, but it is general, and he has
brought a sufficient number of copies to supply the delegates. I am
somewhat familiar with the contents of this book, and can therefore
say that the delegates will be very highly edified if they will read some
of the reasons for becoming members of the Sons of the American
Revolution. This Louisiana Society during the past year has com-
piled this book of about 70 pages, containing a lot of useful informa-
tion in connection with the Society.
I also want to announce, as supplementing the report of Mr. Curtis,
of Connecticut, or, rather, Mr. Jenks, in regard to Americanization,
naturalization, and the Constitution of the United States, and the
copies of papers in reference to those subjects, the Department of
Labor, the U. S. Department of Labor, has taken over the distribution
of these pamphlets, or pamphlets in reference to these subjects, and
any member of this Society or any person interested can get them
upon writing to the Department of Labor at Washington. The particu-
lar man in charge of these pamphlets and books is the Hon. Raymond
F. Crisp, and during the past few months I have had occasion to refer
to him probably 25 or 30 applications for these books. They come
from all sorts of societies, particularly from societies educating the
aliens, and the requests come from schools, private and public.
The Chair: I recognize the chairman of the Committee on Resolu-
tions, Past President General Thruston.
Past President General Thruston: Those of us who have had the
pleasure of entertaining the Congress of the National Society appre-
ciate what has been done here, and what has been done wherever we
have been entertained. We know and we realize that in thanking a
State Society we are thanking each and every individual member. We
I48 SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
know that in thanking the chairman of the committee we are not thank-
ing him personally, but we are thanking the body which he represents ;
and therefore your Committee on Recommendations has prepared a
resolution expressing our appreciation of the courtesies extended to us
here and by the various organizations, and with your permission I will
read this resolution :
Be it resolved, That the Congress of the Sons of the American Revo-
lution record its appreciation of and extends its thanks to the Gov-
ernor of the State of Michigan and the Mayor of the City of Detroit,
represented by the corporation counsel, for the cordial welcome ex-
tended to the delegates and visiting women of the Congress;
To the Michigan State Society and the Detroit Chapter, Sons of the
American Revolution, for their labors in behalf of and hospitality to the
Congress assembled in this city;
To the Louisa St. Clair Chapter, Daughters of the American Revo-
lution, for the delightful luncheon, entertainment, and hospitality ex-
tended to the delegates and visiting women ;
To Senator and Mrs. Truman H. Newberry for their cordial invi-
tation to the reception for the delegates and visiting women, although
the necessary attendance of Senator Newberry at the extra session of
Congress required the cancellation of plans for their reception ;
To Major and Mrs. Frederick M. Alger for the reception for the
delegates and visiting women at their home "By Way," Grosse Pointe
Village.
(On motion the resolution was adopted by a rising vote.)
The Chair: The chair would state that at this time it would be the
pleasure of the Congress to receive invitations for the 31st Session
of the Congress, a year from now. We had an invitation that the
Congress of next year should be held in Massachusetts ; but, as the
ceremonies- connected with the Tercentenary of the Landing of the
Pilgrims has been postponed for one year, it is thought advisable by
the Massachusetts Society and by your National Society to postpone
the meeting in Massachusetts for a year. Are there any invitations to
come before the Congress at this time from any of the State Societies?
These invitations will be received and referred to the Executive Com-
mittee. The announcement is made so that, in case State Societies
would like to entertain the National Society, they may present their
invitations by mail or on the floor of the Congress, which will be re-
ferred to the Executive Committee.
There seems to be no other item of business at this time, so we will
proceed to the election of officers. The chair will be pleased to receive
nominations for President General. I recognize on the floor of the
convention Senator Henry W. Austin, of Illinois. I am very glad to
present him to the Congress. (Applause.)
Compatriot Austin : Gentlemen, three years ago at this time a body
of compatriots went from Illinois to New Jersey and had the audacity
to put in nomination a candidate for the office of President General.
I say audacity, because Illinois has never boasted of more than one
Revolutionary patriot, and even George Rogers Clark was born in
Virginia. Yet such was our prestige, even at the time of the un-
PROCEEDINGS OE DETROIT CONGRESS. I49
pleasantness of 1776, that Mr. Clark wanted to join the Society and,
not being able to find the Illinois trenches in any sector of the battle
front, he went to the headquarters of the Continental Army and stated
his case with such good effect that it resulted in his taking the war
out to Illinois, and in that way he accomplished just the same result
and became the Revolutionary hero, not only of Illinois, but of the
whole Mississippi Valley. But the trouble was that he was the only
one we had, and when we went to New Jersey, where the Revolution-
ary heroes are as numerous almost as the leaves on the trees, it really
awed me. We were on territory there made sacred by the blood of
the soldiers who suffered at Valley Forge. They took us from the
Convention Hall to the identical spot where Washington crossed the
Delaware. We saw buildings and places made historical by the presence
of Washington and Lafayette. It was then that we really knew what
it meant to be Sons of the Revolution. We had a great time. We
will remember that all our lives; but after we came to think the matter
over, though it overawed us to a certain extent, when we came to
realize that the blood of the same Revolutionary ancestors flowed in
our veins as was to be found in the veins of the men who lived in that
Revolutionary territory, we thought the exigencies of the situation de-
manded that we put up a candidate. By that I mean that we had a
candidate so good that we thought the Society absolutely needed his
leadership. It was certainly interesting to us to see how amused some
of those Eastern delegates were at the faith we had in Chicago and in
our Chicago candidate ; but we really told everything there was to tell
about him ; there was nothing to conceal. We told them, in the first
place, that he was a man among men. We told them he was popular,
as was evidenced by the fact that a certain election where he was the
only candidate, there was a large vote as a personal tribute to him, and
for no other cause. We said he was generous, and it is evidenced by
the fact that when he was on a certain committee to build a building
and the money ran out, he finished it with his own money. We told
them he was an educated man, and also said that he was a man who
had plenty of time, that he was a man who had retired from active
business and was a man of leisure, a man who gave more time to public
than to his own affairs. But that was three years ago. Since then we
have had a great war, and I think it is proper today for me to say a
few things about the war service of our candidate. In the first place,
his office and mine are in the same block and not far apart, and I have
had occasion to see him from time to time; but for a year at least
previous to the signing of the armistice, if I ever got to that office
after a quarter past nine in the morning, the invariable reply was, "He
is on the Exemption Board." If you know what Exemption Board
service means, the Exemption Board for drafted men, that is quite a
service ; in fact, our Brother McClary was the Exemption Board Presi-
dent for a while. I know something about that. That was merely one
thing our candidate was engaged in; he was the chairman of the War
150 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Council in Evanston; he was U. S. Government lecturer at the U. S.
Training Station; then he was precinct captain in five separate Liberty
Loans, and he was the chairman of the Sons of the American Revolution
in Illinois for our war activities. But while on the subject of com-
mittees, just let me call your attention to this: For some years he has
been chairman of our Committee on Americanization and Aliens, and
incidentally member of the national committee that does the identical
work, which meets in New York. Each of those committees has been
mutually beneficial to the other committees. Before we leave the sub-
ject of the war, let me mention one other thing: This man has an only
son. A year ago that son was a lieutenant in the war in France, and
that man is thanking Providence yet for having saved his son for him,
at the battle of Chateau-Thierry.
Now, friends, I mentioned that we had a candidate before the con-
vention three years ago. You all know he was not elected, but I did
not say that he was defeated. Defeat is a word which some men
never quite understand, particularly if they happen to have a surname
beginning with the letter J. Now, I do not refer to the kind of ex-
perience that our old, perpetual, quadrennial presidental candidate,
William Jennings, has from year to year — I do not mean that kind of
a jay. (Laughter and applause.) He is' defeated and he ought to
know it; the J comes in the wrong place in his name (laughter) ; but
let me call your attention to two cases in American history which I
think are applicable in our case today.
Now, I am an enthusiastic and loyal Republican and always have
been. Yet whenever the Democrats have anything on us I am willing
to give them the benefit. Now, if you will take the period of American
history between our two great Presidents, Washington and Lincoln, the
period from 1797 to 1861, who are the two great Presidents that stand
out. Take, first of all, Old Hickory; he had his faults and lots of
them ; he had a tempestuous career ; he had probably more enemies
than any one man in the country, but of course, also, more friends, and
when he was in the White House everybody knew that we had one live
President. That was his character. Now, if we turn back the pages
of history for a quarter of a century, to the time of Jeffersonian
simplicity, we have another great President, a President who was the
most far-seeing statesman of the first half of the century. We hear a
great deal these days about the Monroe Doctrine. But history will bear
me out when I say that it was really Jefferson's Doctrine. Before
Monroe put forth that doctrine he communicated with the Sage of
Monticello and got the necessary data.
Why do I mention those two men, Jackson and Jefferson? What
have they to do with the case I will tell you : I did not know until
I looked it up, but one of these men when he first sought the office of
President did not receive it. Was not this a blessing in disguise? It
put him before the people; they knew he was a presidential possibility,
a candidate for the Presidency for four years ; they scrutinized him,
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 151
looked at his character, saw his qualifications, and when the right time
came, four years later, they said to him, "Well done, good and faithful
servant, take the Presidental chair." And later on, four years after
that, they were so well pleased with his service that they gave another
term to each man, Jefferson and Jackson. Now what does this mean?
Do you call such men as that defeated before the people of this coun-
try? No. Was it not rather an introduction to the public? Now, my
friends, the situation with us is a parallel one today. We have a candi-
date who has all the necessary qualities. As I say, he is popular; he is
generous ; he is enthusiastic ; he has the time to give us. We know by
our experience in the Illinois Society that he does things well, when he
does them, and anything he undertakes is well done. He has given
a large portion of his time to the public service.
Now, just incidentally, I might mention that last week he gave me
a bill to introduce in the State Senate. He is a member of the school
board; he saw a necessary improvement in the school law, and that
bill, T hope, will be a law before very long. It is well on its way.
That is just incidental. But, friends, can we afford not to give the
ability and the energy of such a man as this a larger scope than can
be found in the offices of any State Society or in the offices of the
National Society less than that of President General?
A few years ago a man was elected a justice of the peace in South
Carolina. He hunted up the town clerk and said he wanted to be sworn
in. After the necessary amount of profanity or otherwise, the clerk
said to him, "Well, it's all right," and he turned around to the clerk
and said, "Well, Mr. Clerk, am I now to understand that I am entirely
empowered and qualified?" The clerk happened to be of a different
political party, and did not like this fellow very well, and he said to
him, "You are empowered all right enough, but all the saints couldn't
qualify you."
Now, my friends, we are in a diametrically opposite position today
with our candidate. We have a candidate who is amply qualified, who
is qualified in every respect, and we leave to all the saints here present
to empower him. (Laughter and applause.) I use that word with
discretion, because we have confidence in this jury. You have our case.
It is with great pleasure that I put into nomination for the office of
President General Chancellor L. Jenks, of Illinois. (The audience rose
and applauded.)
Dr. George C. F. Williams (Conn.) : Mr. President General and
Compatriots, in accordance with the unanimous wish of the men of
Connecticut who are here, a wish with which I am in full sympathy
and hearty accord, I rise to second the nomination, and it is with
special pleasure that I second the nomination of a compatriot so worthy
and so well qualified, so fitted by natural endowment and by experience
to carry on with deep sincerity and high purpose the noble work con-
templated by the founders of this Organization. It is, sir, therefore,
with profound satisfaction that I second the nomination to this office
152 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
of great opportunity for genuine service, the Presidency General of the
National Society, of our compatriot, Chancellor L. Jenks. (Applause.)
I do this in behalf of the Connecticut Society.
Compatriot George H. Barbour, of the Michigan Society : I am very
proud to follow a gentleman from Connecticut, because that is my
native State; I lived there some 48 years ago. I hold in my hand
copies of resolutions that were adopted by the Illinois Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution endorsing Mr. Chancellor L. Jenks,
and in behalf of Michigan I wish to second the nomination of Mr.
Jenks. (Applause.)
Judge Remington (N. Y.) : I do not rise to represent the signers
exactly, but on behalf of the Empire State Society I desire to second
the nomination of Mr. Jenks for the office of President General. We
have seen his work at the various sessions of this Congress and the
sessions of preceding Congresses, and we feel that he is a man who
will add luster to the roll of distinguished Presidents General of this
Organization. It is therefore on behalf of the delegation from the
Empire State that I second his nomination.
Compatriot Guthrie (Pa.) : If it is in order at this time, I, on behalf
of Pennsylvania, would offer a motion that the nominations close.
(Motion seconded.)
Compatriot Curtis : I would supplement that by asking that the
Secretary be empowered to cast one ballot for Chancellor L. Jenks.
Compatriot Guthrie : I accept the amendment.
The Chair: The motion is that the nominations close and that the
Secretary General be instructed to cast one ballot, as the expression of
the Congress, for Chancellor L. Jenks, of Illinois, for President General
of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, he
being the only nominee before the Congress.
(The motion was unanimously adopted.)
The Chair: It is unanimous and the Secretary will carry out the
instructions of the Congress.
The Secretary General: Mr. President General, in accordance with
the unanimous wish of the Society, the Secretary General has the dis-
tinguished honor to cast the ballot of the entire Society for Chancellir
L. Jenks. of Illinois, as President General.
The Chair : The chair declares that Chancellor L. Jenks, of Illinois.
is unanimously elected President General of the National Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution for the coming year. (The mem-
bers rose and applauded.) I appoint as a committee to escort our dear
friend, the newly elected President General of the National Society
of the Sons of the American Revolution, to a seat upon the platform
Past Presidents General Wentworth, Thruston, McClary, and Wood-
worth. I think they can bring him in.
(The members rose and applauded Compatriot Jenks as he entered
the hall.)
The Chair: Compatriot Jenks, it is my good fortune, my honor, and
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 1 53,
ni}- privilege to welcome you to this platform as the newly elected
President General of the National Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution. (Applause.)
Compatriot Jenks : Mr. President General and Compatriots of the
National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, I hope you
don't expect a speech ; I had a perfectly good one, but it is gone. I am
trying to show my appreciation of this honor by not making a speech.
I have got the notes in my pocket (laughter), but I know that I can't,
read them, and all that I can do is to tell you that I cannot give utter-
ance to my sense of the greatness of this honor; and yet I know,
compatriots, that it is a compliment, not so much for me personally
as for the great Society to which I belong, and on behalf of the Illinois
Society I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I recognize
in this election, so unanimous, so spontaneous, a call to the very best
that there is in me, and the best in me will respond to that call. I am
driven in self-defense to turn to the splendid principles and ideals of
our Society to guide me in the responsibilities which will rest upon me.
The decorations of the Society, which it will be my proud privilege to
wear, will arouse in me the most earnest desire to absorb more and
more the inspirations which form the basis of our loved Organization.
I have seen, we have all seen, the strengthening, inspiring, quicken-
ing power of our ideals, and if I can absorb those ideals I can perform
the duties of this office in a way to reflect the united sentiment which
has placed me in this position. The call to the colors put every one
of us in active service, but the declaration of peace has not ended our
labors, nor has it removed from us the responsibilities which rest
upon us.
It is not difficult, under the quickening impulse of a war in progress,
to be alert, but, compatriots, in the relaxed hour of triumph and vic-
tory the enemies of our Nation lurk unnoticed. We have as much to
meet now as we had at the beginning of this war, and the responsibility
lies more upon us who appreciate the value of the American ideal and
who proclaim it than upon others upon whom it has not made the
same impression. The Sons of the American Revolution should lead,
not follow, those who search out, denounce, and destroy the hidden
dangers that menace our blood-bought peace. I feel a sense of great
indebtedness to those who have preceded me in this office, especially to
those with whom I have enjoyed a warm and loving friendship. They
have set a pretty rapid pace for me. But they have not only done that,
they have illumined the way. It will be my great desire to continue to
reflect the impulses which have controlled the splendid patriots whom
this Society has honored. This unanimous action of yours today
throws upon me the responsibility, which I gladly assume, of reflecting
in my administration the oneness of the patriotic thought of this So-
ciety. Thank you. (Applause.)
The Chair: I trust it will not be misunderstood, but it is out of the
kindness of mv heart and consideration for you that I am going to
154 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
ask that the nominating speeches from now on be limited to three
minutes and the seconding speech to one minute. Nominations are
now in order for Vice-Presidents General. I recognize Compatriot
Curtis.
Compatriot Curtis : Mr. President General, in making this presenta-
tion I recognize that the chief quality must be brevity; the President
General almost took the words out of my mouth. The second qualifi-
cation must be practicability. I have been working with the Vice-
Presidents as chairman of the Committee on Increased Membership for
the past year. I know well the difficulties and I know also that we
must have Vice-Presidents that can be worked with. We want men
who will take hold of the problems of their different States over which
they are elected, men who will work with the administration, men who
will work with the presidents of their various Societies and adequately
represent the National Society in their districts. As the author of the
amendment creating the new order of vice-presidents, I am particu-
larly anxious to get a good man in New England. The Massachusetts
Society had that honor last year and did splendid work; in fact, I
might say (if Mr. Read will close his ears for a minute) that he gave
me as much aid as any vice-president we had. Now, in looking for
another man, as Mr. Read feels that he has done his share, I offer you
as my personal candidate Mr. George F. Burgess, President of the
Connecticut Society, as Vice-President General for the New England
District. (Applause.)
Compatriot Merrick: In behalf of the Maine delegates, I am very
glad to second the nomination of Compatriot Burgess as one who will
render the best possible assistance for the District of New England.
Compatriot Punderson : On behalf of the Massachusetts Society, it
gives me great pleasure to second the nomination of Mr. Burgess. He
is known and loved by us all.
Compatriot Vail (N. J.) : I will make my remark about as brief as
possible. I rise to nominate for Vice-President General of the Middle
District one who is known to most of you, one who has attended the
Congresses faithfully and been a hard worker for the Society in
national work as well as State work, one who has shown by his ability,
his promptness, and attention to work that he is well fitted for any
office he may be elected to. I therefore have the honor of nominating
for Vice-President General of the Middle and Coast District Thomas
W. Williams, of New Jersey. (Applause.)
Compatriot Reifsnider : It is with pleasure that the Maryland
Society seconds the nomination of Compatriot Williams for Vice-
President of the Middle and Coast District.
Compatriot Guthrie (Pa.) : It is with great pleasure that Pennsyl-
vania seconds the nomination of Compatriot Williams, of New Jersey.
Past President General Woodworth (N. Y.) : In behalf of the Em-
pire State Society, I wish to second the nomination of Mr. Williams
for the office of Vice-President General.
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 1 55
Compatriot Sherman (Ohio) : I rise to nominate a candidate from
Ohio. For man}' years he has served the Anthony Wayne Chapter of
Toledo. For many, many years he has served the State Society, and
for many, many years he has served on the committees of the National
Society. He is Past President of the Anthony Wayne Chapter, Past
President of the Ohio Society, and past master of the committee work
of the National Society. I wish to present the name of Moulton Houk,
of Ohio, as Vice-President General for the Mississippi Valley (East)
District. (Applause.)
A Member: For the Illinois Society I take pleasure in seconding the
nomination of our faithful and loyal compatriot, Colonel Houk.
Compatriot Taylor (Mich.) : I take pleasure in seconding the nomi-
nation of the candidate already named. I think he should be rewarded
for his great ability and his long and faithful service.
The Chair: Are there any other nominations? There are five Vice-
Presidents General to be elected; only three have been nominated.
There are Vice-Presidents General to be elected to succeed Frank W.
Rawles, of the Mississippi Valley (West) District, and Thomas A.
Perkins, of the Mountain and Pacific Coast District. The chair will
entertain nominations for these two Vice-President Generalships.
Compatriots Steele : I represent New York and wish to nominate
and do nominate Mr. Paine for the Mississippi Valley (West) Dis-
trict.
(The nomination was seconded by compatriots representing New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Louisiana.)
Compatriot Woopworth (N. Y.) : Many of us who were out to the
Pacific Coast in 1915 met a gentleman, a member of the judiciary of
the State of Washington, and were charmed with his personality and
his intelligence. He qualified when he first took the office. I think
he was interested in our Society and our work, and all of us were im-
pressed, I think, with his interest. It is with great pleasure, in the
absence of a representative of the State of Washington, that I place
in nomination as Vice-President for the Mountain and Pacific District
Judge Overton Ellis, of Olympia, Wash.
Compatriot Curtis: I move that the nominations be now closed and
the Secretary be instructed to cast one ballot for these five Vice-
Presidents.
(The motion was seconded and unanimously adopted.)
The Secretary General: In accordance with the order of the con-
vention, I deposit the ballot for Compatriot George F. Burgess for the
first district, Compatriot Thomas W. Williams, of New Jersey, for the
second district, Compatriot Moulton Houk, of Ohio, for the third dis-
trict, Compatriot Linn Paine, of Missouri, for the fourth district, and
Compatriot Overton Ellis, of the State of Washington, for the fifth
district.
(The Chair declared the above candidates duly elected.)
The Chair: I ask the Vice-Presidents General newly elected who
156 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
are present, Compatriot Burgess, of Connecticut; Compatriot Williams,
of New Jersey; Compatriot Paine, of Missouri, and Compatriot Houk,
of Ohio, to kindly rise and receive the congratulations of the National
Society upon your consent to serve us.
(The gentlemen called on did as requested and were greeted with
applause.)
The Chair : I am afraid as we all rose up we thought we were vice-
presidents. (Laughter.) The Chair will now entertain nominations
for the office of Secretary General, and recognizes Past President Gen-
eral Elmer Marston Wentworth, of the United States. (Laughter and
applause.)
Compatriot Wentworth : Mr. President General and Compatriots,
those of you who have been regular attendants at the National Con-
gresses of the Sons of the American Revolution are gathered with
heavy hearts today. You miss sitting on the platform, at the right of
the President General, the beloved compatriot who for so many years
had guided with tender, skilful, statesmanlike spirit the destinies of this
great Society, and I know that the thought that is uppermost in your
hearts today was expressed by the poet,
"Oh, for a touch of the vanished hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still."
It is a peculiar situation and a difficult one that we must confront in
the Sons of the American Revolution to find a man to succeed A. How-
ard Clark as Secretary General and Registrar General. The members
of this Congress, long acquainted with the work that has been done,
had a just right to feel that it was a time when we should do everything
that could be done to make that name as splendid as we could, and
your memorials have testified in that respect that we are facing the
future. Five States had men who were competent and qualified, as did
every State in our great Society, to carry on the work ; but, at this
particular time and in respect to the man who is gone, it seemed best
that we should unite upon one man, and those who were candidates
for this office from the various States have most kindly withdrawn
their candidacy as a tribute of respect to the man whose office we are
about to fill and his successor. I take pleasure in presenting the name
of Philip F. Lamer, Past President of the District of Columbia
Society, the friend and comrade of our retired, our lost Secretary
General and Registrar General, as his successor. (Applause.)
Admiral Baird, of the District of Columbia Society: I beg to second
that nomination. The District of Columbia has a number of qualified
men ; it is the capital of the Nation and has the largest library in the
country, but, better still, it has the library of the D. A. R., who have a
splendid genealogical library and a card index there better than any-
thing I have ever seen, and a lot of charming little women who hand
out exactly what you want, almost instantaneously. Therefore I think
the District of Columbia is the proper place for the Secretary General.
T would not say that Mr. Larner is as qualified as many of our dele-
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 1 57
gates are for the office, but he has the faculty of smoothing people the
right way; he never forgets anything; he is always with us; he has
been in the business for many years and has a large office, with
stenographers and typewriters and all that kind of thing; but to say
anything about him personally I think would be like trying to paint
the lily.
The Secretary General : Mr. President General and gentlemen of
the Convention, when the President General selected me as acting
Secretary General and the Executive Committee confirmed that nomi-
nation by electing me, under Paragraph 5 of the Constitution, on the
31st of last January, at a meeting in Newark, it was with a great deal
of diffidence that I accepted the nomination, and I have endeavored dur-
ing the five months that have elapsed, as I told you yesterday, to con-
duct the office in a way that would suit you and win the approbation of
the President of the Society and the members of the Executive Com-
mittee. Today, with the nomination of my friend, my brother, my
companion, and my Sir Knight, my Past President, Philip F. Earner,
it gives the Society a name to conjure with, and I want to say to you
that I take the greatest pleasure in seconding the nomination of Brother
Larner. (Applause.)
Compatriot G. Barrett Rich (N. Y.) : On behalf of the Empire State
Society, it affords me great pleasure to second the nomination of Mr.
Larner. I believe that in the selection of Mr. Larner the Society
honors itself. We are very fortunate in the selection of Mr. Larner
for Registrar General.
Compatriot Robertson ( Md.) : I rise on behalf of the State of Mary-
land to second the nomination of our brother from the District of
Columbia Society. I myself, was a candidate for this office. Readily
realizing that I could not fill it with the capacity it had been filled
heretofore. I very gladly withdrew from the contest, and it is a great
honor to second the nomination of Mr. Larner.
Compatriot Vail (X. J.) : On behalf of the New Jersey Society, I
desire to say that we were one of the States that had a candidate for
Secretary General. We withdrew our candidate in favor of Mr.
Larner, and I am very much pleased, in behalf of New Jersey, to
second the nomination of Mr. Larner for Secretary General and
Registrar General.
Compatriot Wentworth : I move that the nominations be closed and
the Secretary General instructed to cast one ballot for the nominee, Com-
patriot Philip F. Larner, of the District of Columbia Society, for both
offices. Secretary General and Registrar General.
(Motion seconded and adopted.)
The Secretary General: Past President Philip F. Larner. of the
District of Columbia Society, having received the unanimous vote of
this Congress, I therefore deposit the ballot for him as Secretary
General and Registrar General for the ensuing year.
The Chair : You have heard the vote of your Secretary General and
158 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
the chair declares Compatriot Philip F. Larner, of the District of
Columbia Society, elected unanimously Secretary General and Registrar
General of the National Society, and I will ask Admiral Baird to
escort our newly elected Secretary General and Registrar General to
the platform. (Applause.)
Compatriot Larner: Mr. President General and Compatriots, I must
confess that I am appearing here somewhat under embarrassment.
When I came to Detroit a few days ago, it was with the idea that I
was going to have a good time, free from any trouble or difficulty, such
as I have always had at the gatherings of this splendid Society every
year. I certainly had no idea of hunting for an office, and it was a
far remote thought that an office would hunt for me. Now, I am
certainly deeply gratified at the splendid action here this morning and
at your unanimity. I hope I shall be able to comply with your require-
ments to the full, but I doubt very much if I can come up to that high
standard which many years of efficient service by my dear old friend,
Howard Clark, has fixed. I shall try to follow as near as possible his
paths. I have been a friend of Mr. Clark and his wife for thirty
years or more, and I hope to have some little advice and a guiding hand
from her. I think that what there is of the affairs of the National
Society of the Sons of the American Revolution that she does not
know is hardly worth knowing by anybody. That has been my obser-
vation, and I assure you, most heartily, that whatever I may do.
although there may be errors, it will be the very best that I can give
you. (Applause.)
The Chair: The chair will receive nominations for Treasurer Gen-
eral.
Compatriot Williams (N. J.) : New Jersey has a very warm spot
in her heart for the man who has made good in every office that he
has filled, a man who has faithfully served this organization, a man
of finance, a man that we all love. It gives New Jersey great pleasure
to place in nomination for the office of Treasurer General John Bur-
roughs, President of the New York Chapter. (Applause.)
Compatriot Guthrie : I move that the nominations close, and that
the Secretary be instructed to cast the unanimous vote for Compatriot
Burroughs. I don't think that nomination was seconded and I would
like to go on record as seconding it.
The Chair: The nomination of Mr. Burroughs was seconded by
Connecticut. The motion before the house is, that the Secretary be
instructed to cast one ballot as the expression of this Congress for
John H. Burroughs for Treasurer General for his eleventh election.
(The motion was unanimously adopted.)
Secretary General Parks : May I delay the Society one minute, to
say that I appreciate this, because I have done business with that man
for the past five months, and he answers his letters the day he gets
them. (Laughter.)
(The Secretary General then cast the ballot as directed.)
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. 1 59
The Chair: I am very happy to declare the election of my dear
friend and predecessor as President of the Empire State Society, John
H. Burroughs. He is known to all of you, and all you have got to do
is to rise and make his nomination unanimous. Kindly rise. (The
audience rose arid applauded.) Mr. Burroughs knows what is in our
hearts for him ; he has been with us ten years in that one office, and
I trust that for ten years more he will consent to serve us. (Applause.)
Treasurer General Burroughs: Mr. President General, this renewed
honor granted me by the compatriots of the National Society is highly
appreciated by me. At the time of the Congress held in Baltimore, I
was honored by your confidence in placing me in the position of Treasurer
General of the National Society, and as the years have gone by, you
have increased that honor year after year, and, if I remember cor-
rectly, this is the eleventh year I have been honored. I appreciate your
confidence. I feel that the duty is an important one, and you will
understand that in opposing resolutions calling for expenditure I am
doing it for your sake and not my own. I want to thank you again
for my election this the eleventh time. (Applause.)
The Chair : The chair will entertain nominations for Historian Gen-
eral.
Compatriot PundERSON : I nominate Compatriot George C. Arnold.
Compatriot Smith (Utah) : On behalf of the entire delegation from
Utah. I take pleasure in seconding the nomination of Mr. Arnold.
(Applause.)
A Member: As an individual numbering as many as the whole dele-
gation from Utah, coming from the Southland, south of Mason and
Dixon's line, I want to second the nomination of my friend, Lieut.
George C. Arnold, of Rhode Island, for Historian General.
Compatriot Weston : I would like to second his nomination in behalf
of the Louisiana Society, and I would also like, during the coming
year, for him to look into the history of the Southern colonies during
the Revolutionary time. Our Massachusetts friends, sometimes, like
to take the lion's share of patriotism, and I think it is well to look
into that country a little, too, and I second the nomination.
A Member: For the Connecticut Society, I second the nomination.
A Member: The State of Maryland wishes to second the nomination
of Lieutenant Arnold, and moves that the nominations be closed, and
that the Secretary be instructed to cast the ballot for Compatriot
George C. Arnold for Historian General.
(The motion was adopted and the ballot cast accordingly.)
Historian General Arnold: I thank you from the bottom of my heart
for the confidence you have reposed in me, for this the second term of
my election ; it will be my endeavor as Historian General to so officiate
that I will recall the Revolutionary doings and be an honor, not only
to myself, but to my State and the United States of America. (Ap-
plause.)
The Chair: The chair will receive nominations for Chaplain General.
l60 SONS OE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Compatriot Punderson : On behalf of the Massachusetts delegation, I
have the honor to place in nomination as Chaplain General of the
National Society Dr. Lee S. McCollester, who has so ably performed
the duties of the office during the past year.
A Member: On behalf of the Michigan Society, I second the nomi-
nation.
(It was moved and carried that the nominations be closed, and the
Secretary be instructed to cast the ballot of the Congress for Dr. Lee
S. McCollester for Chaplain General. The ballot was cast accordingly
and the result duly announced.)
The Chair: I will ask Vice-President General Albert M. Henry to
kindly come forward and preside over the Congress at this time. (Ap-
plause.)
(Vice-President General Henry takes the chair.)
President General Ames : Compatriots, I would be unfair to this Con-
gress, I would be unjust to myself, if I let this opportunity go by
without expressing, out of the depths of my heart, gratitude; without
expressing on your behalf thankfulness for the great service that has
been rendered to your President General and to the National Society
of the Sons of the American Revolution by the two gentlemen who
kindly consented, when asked, to serve in the respective offices of
Secretary General and Registrar General. The President of the Dis-
trict of Columbia Society, William S. Parks, has rendered a great
service to this organization in the past four and one-half months.
Without receiving any salary, he devoted his time to the great work of
that office ; and the Registrar of the New York Society, Teunis D.
Huntting, served in a similar manner as a Registrar General; there-
fore I move the thanks of the Congress to the retiring Secretary
General, William S. Parks, and the retiring Registrar General, T. D.
Huntting.
(The motion was seconded and adopted by a rising vote.)
Secretary General Parks : Compatriots, this is worth all the work
that I have done for you, and I am just as ready now to do as much
more as I can. Thank you. (Applause.)
Compatriot Wentworth : Before Compatriot Henry sits down, I
want you all to look at him. I have been trustee from the State of
Iowa in this Congress for twelve years; I think I am finishing up ten
years as a member of the Executive Committee. I have served with
a great many men ; I have known something about what has been done
in this Congress, and in the past congresses, on the Boards of Trustees
and Executive Committee, and Albert M. Henry has had no superior
in loyalty, executive work, splendid comradeship, and humanity, among
all of my acquaintance with the comrades of this Society. When we
are here in Detroit, his home town, where he is not without honor, we
desire to do him this additional honor. (Applause.)
The Chair: Compatriots, I thank yon.
(President General Ames takes the chair.)
PROCEEDINGS OF DETROIT CONGRESS. l6l
The Chair: Before turning over the office of President General to
the newly elected President General, I desire that the Vice-Presidents
General should have an opportunity to preside over this Congress, and
it was a closing benediction to have our beloved Vice-President Gen-
eral Henry to close the last work of the Congress. Before turning
over the office, however, I would ask those among the compatriots
present who were here in Detroit twenty years ago to kindly rise.
(Several members rose.)
Compatriot Clarke (Va.) : As everybody knows, or ought to know,
the first settlement was made on this continent at Jmaestown in 1619.
The Governor called the General Assembly, and this first General
Assembly met on the American continent in the choir of the church at
Jamestown in 1619. I just want to announce that that event will be
celebrated this summer in Virginia. The Legislature of the State has
appointed a committee, and our Society has appointed a committee to
join in the celebration of the event. Just what the dates will be I
do not think is yet settled, but I simply announce the fact of the three
hundredth anniversary of the first General Assembly of Virginia,
which will be celebrated this summer, and I would like you all to
come down. (Applause.)
The Chair : The next business in order is the election of the Trustees.
They are nominated by the State Societies, and in the absence of any
nomination by a State Society the President of the State Society be-
comes ex officio member of the Board. I will ask the Secretary Gen-
eral to read the list of Trustees nominated by the State Societies and
the names of the State Presidents where no nominations have been
made.
(The Secretary General read the names.)
(It was moved and carried that the rules be suspended, and that the
Secretary General be instructed to cast one ballot for the election of
the nominees named as Trustees. The ballot was cast accordingly.)
(The list of Trustees appears on page 4 of present Year Book.)
The Chair: The Trustees named are elected. It becomes my pleas-
ant duty, as the retiring Past President of the National Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution, first, to express to you my deepest
thanks for all the kindnesses you have shown me while being the in-
cumbent of this office. Particularly would I thank you for the courtesy
you have shown me during the time I have presided over this Congress.
You have made it a pleasure to preside, yesterday and today, and in
turning over the emblems of this office I first present your newly
elected President General with the symbol of authority, the gavel of
this Organization (applause) ; and then it becomes my pleasant duty
to bestow upon him this added emblem of authority, the gold pendant
of the President General of the Sons of the American Revolution. I
turn over to you, sir, everything that I have received as President
General of the' National Society of the Sons of the American Revolu-
l62 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
tion, with three exceptions : the esteem, the love, and the kindnesses
that have come to me at your hands. No power on earth would ever
permit me to pass them to any one else. (The audience rose and gave
three cheers for Past President General Ames, while President Gen-
eral Jenks took the chair.)
President General Jenks : Past President General Ames, it is a great
honor to step into the place which you have filled so splendidly. I re-
ceive this honored insignia with great humbleness, and I want to assure
you of my earnest desire to wear it worthily. I am advised that my
only function at this Congress, as presiding officer, is to administer the
last sad rites. If there is no more business to come before the Con-
gress, a motion to adjourn without day is in order.
Before adjournment, telegrams expressing appreciation for the greet-
ings sent by the Congress, and extending good wishes to all members,
were received from Past Presidents General W. A. Marble, of New York;
Francis Henry Appleton, of Peabody, Mass. ; Morris B. Beardsley, of
Bridgeport, Conn.; Franklin Murphy, of Newark, N. J.; Edwin War-
field, of Baltimore, Md., and Cornelius A. Pugsley, of Peekskill, N. Y.
(A rising vote of thanks was given by the Congress to Past Presi-
dent General Ames.)
On motion, the Congress then adjourned sine die.

Secretary General.

MEETINGS OF EXECUTIVE; COMMITTEE. 167
MINUTES OF MEETING OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, NA-
TIONAL SOCIETY, SONS OF THE AMERICAN
REVOLUTION, HELD OCTOBER 25, 1919,
AT NEW YORK CITY.
A meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Society was
held at the Hardware Club, New York city, at 10 a. m., October 25, 1919.
President General Jenks presided, with the following members of the
Committee in attendance : George E. Pomeroy, John Milton Reif snider,
Lewis B. Curtis, E. M. Wentworth, and Louis A. Ames. There were
also in attendance Vice-Presidents General Thomas W. Williams, of
New Jersey, and George F. Burgess, of Connecticut; also Past Presi-
dents General C. A. Pugsley, M. B. Beardsley, and William A. Marble;
also Treasurer General John H. Burroughs, President C. M. Vail, of
New Jersey State Society; Dr. G. C. F. Williams, President of the
Connecticut State Society; Mr. George D. Banks, Second Vice-Presi-
dent of the Empire State Society, and Secretary General Philip F.
Lamer.
The minutes of the meeting of the Executive Committee held May
21, 1919, at Detroit, Mich., were read and approved.
The Secretary General made to the committee a general report on
the business and condition of the affairs of the Society, stating that the
work of his office was in good shape and practically up to date in every
respect. Various matters of detail were discussed by the members of
the committee, among which was the very general increase in cost to
the Society for printed matter, which would render it necessary to
make new schedule of prices to the State Societies for various items
of supplies furnished to them. The committee ordered that all such
matters should be referred to the President and Secretary General
with power to act. It being understood that especially in the matter
of furnishing application blanks the State Societies should be charged
therefor the exact cost to the National Society.
The Secretary General reported upon the removal of the official
headquarters to a new location, and stated that while a second change
had been made for a larger room in the same building, the office was
still greatly crowded, and that it had become evident that additional
space would very soon be needed for necessary file cases and other
furniture required to accommodate the increasing records of the So-
ciety. The matter received the careful attention of the committee and
it was unanimously decided to refer this entire matter for decision to
the President and Secretary General with power to act, it being under-
stood that the President General expected to visit Washington in a
few days.
The attention of the committee was called to the fact that at the
meeting of the Executive Committee held on December 12, 1918, it was
voted that a committee should be appointed to secure bronze memorial
medals or badges for members, sons of members, and families of de-
ceased members who have served in the late World War, the State
l68 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Society to pay the cost of the badges and the presentation to be made
with some formality in the presence of a National Society Officer.
Some confusion had arisen in several instances caused by the require-
ment that the medals must be presented "with some formality, in the
presence of a National Society Officer," the presence of a National
Society Officer not being convenient in many cases and the State
Society not always being able to secure the presence of those entitled
to receive the medals.
The matter was fully considered and discussed by the committee,
and it was ordered that the previous action be modified, so that the
medals could be conferred with such ceremony as may be most con-
venient in each instance, preference being given to presentation by a
National Officer if available, or otherwise by a State officer.
The attention of the committee was called to the proposed amend-
ment submitted by the Empire State Society and published in the
October, 1919, Bulletin. It was understood that the constitutional
requirement that notice of amendments should be sent to the Presidents
of the State Societies would be complied with if a marked copy of the
page from the October Bulletin should be forwarded to them.
The committee was also informed that an application had been made
for one or more of the Grave Markers heretofore proposed by the
National Society, and upon which subject Past President General Wood-
worth, as chairman of a Special Committee on the subject, had sub-
mitted a report at the Rochester Congress in 1918. No progress having
been made in the manufacture of the markers, the Secretary General
was requested to communicate with Chairman Woodworth, of the Com-
mittee on Markers, and ascertain from him the name of the manu-
facturer who had offered to make the markers, and hereafter to refer
all applicants for such to the manufacturer direct, sending a proper
authorization to the manufacturer, he to be informed that such markers
could be made only on an order from the Secretary General.
The committee considered for action the question referred to it by
the Detroit Congress, covering the permanent gift of the banners as
presented by Past President General Ames to certain State Societies at
the last Congress. A motion had been submitted that a banner be
given by the National Society to each State increasing its membership
20 per cent during the year, such increase to be at least ten members,
and the expense of such banner to be defrayed by the Treasurer of
the National Organization. As this subject was referred to the Ex-
ecutive Committee with power to act, the matter was given very full
and careful consideration. In view of the very great expense involved,
it was unanimously decided to lay the subject on the table.
A letter was submitted from Compatriot T. D. Huntting, chairman
of the Credentials Committee, requesting a definition of "members in
good standing." Under the Constitution of the National Society, the
committee decided that the question was fully covered by Article VI of
the Constitution, to be found on page 34 of the 1918 Year Book.
MEETINGS OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. 169
Mr. Ames submitted a verbal report on the Observance of Constitu-
tion Day, September 17, 1919, as chairman of the committee having
that matter in charge. It was shown that many thousands of meetings
were held throughout the country in the observance of the day and
under the influence of the National Society Committee. The report
was adopted.
On motion of Mr. Curtis, and at his invitation, it was decided that
the usual meeting of the Executive Committee preceding the next
Congress, to be convened at Hartford, Conn., should be held at his
house, in Bridgeport, Conn., on the Saturday in May, 1920, before the
meeting of the Congress, the committee then to motor to Hartford.
Mr. Ames submitted for the consideration of the committee a motion
providing for the observance of what shall be known as Victory Day,
as follows :
Whereas the winning of the World War was a triumph of right
over might, liberty over bondage, justice over injustice, equality over
partialism ;
Resolved, That we ask the American people to observe November
nth as Victory Day, not merely a victory of one group of nations over
another, but a triumph of those principles of liberty, justice, honor, and
equality which are the foundation stones of this Republic.
The motion was unanimously adopted.
The matter of making a charge for the filing and registration of
supplemental blanks sufficient to cover in a measure the expense of
labor and all printing was considered by the committee, and on motion
it was decided that a fee of $1 should be charged for filing and regis-
tering a supplemental blank at any time.
President General Jenks reported, as a matter of record, that an
invitation from the Connecticut State Society to hold the next Congress
in May, 1920, in the city of Hartford, was presented to him in June
and submitted by wire vote to the individual members of the Execu-
tive Committee and unanimously accepted.
Treasurer General Burroughs submitted a statement of the financial
affairs of the National Society under date of October 22, 1919, by which
it was shown that the balance on hand May 22, 1919, was $8,781.83.
Total receipts since that date, $1,019.84; total disbursements, $3,131.86;
balance on hand October 22, 1919, $6,669.81. The report was accepted
and adopted.
Mr. Curtis, from the Committee on Increase in Membership, sub-
mitted a verbal report, which was discussed at considerable length,
and on motion the committee was discharged from further service.
It was voted that the Secretary General should send to Past Presi-
dent General Edwin S. Greeley, now ill at his home in New Haven,
Conn., the greeting of the Executive Committee and a warm expression
of its regard and well wishes for him and his immediate recovery to
good health and strength, and at the same time advising him that five
ex-Presidents General now present united in this greeting.

Mr. Pomeroy submitted and read a report covering the recommen-
dations of the committee appointed for the establishment of a National
Committee of Patriotic Societies and a National Patriotic Society
week throughout the United States, the committee being composed of
R. Morgan Galbreth, Walter K. Tuller, and Pierce W. Banning. Upon
full consideration of the matter, the report was referred to President
General Jenks and Mr. Pomeroy for further consideration and report.
In view of the presence in this country of King Albert of the Bel-
gians and the high regard in which he is held by members of the Ex-
ecutive Committee and the Society in general, it was voted unanimously
that the greetings of the committee and the Society should be sent to
King Albert by the President General as speedily as possible.
The committee discussed various matters of interest to the Society
without particular action, and thereupon adjourned.

The meeting of the Executive Committee was suspended during its
session to accept the very cordial invitation of the President General
