h%t S. MeCoLlESTiSRi D. D., elected Chaplain General at the Rochester
Congress, in 1918, re-elected at the Detroit Congress, in 1919, and at
the Hartford Congress, in 1920, was born in Westmoreland, N. H., on
the Connecticut River, in 1859. He is the son of Rev. S. II. McCollester,
D. D., minister, college president, traveler, and author. His mother
was Fanny Sophia Knight, of Windham County, Vermont, a descendant
of a loyal colonial family. Dr. McCollester traces his lineage from
Capt. Isaac MacAlHster, who was one of the first settlers of Cheshire
County, N. H., and an officer in the colonial wars.
Dr. McCollester was educated in the city schools of Nashua, N. H. ;
Buchtel College, Akron, Ohio, and Tufts College, Massachusetts. He
graduated from Tufts College in 1881 and from the Theological School
in 1884. He has traveled extensively and studied abroad and has been
active in religious and educational affairs. His first pastorate was in
Clermont, N. H., of three years, where he married Miss Lizzie S.
Parker, daughter of ex-Congressman Hosea W. Parker. In 1889 he
took the pastorate of the Church of Our Father, Detroit, Mich., and re-
mained there twenty-four years, becoming a leader in the religious,
educational, and civic interests of the city and State. He is a thirty-
second-degree Mason, a member of Detroit Commandery, No. 1, Knights
Templar, and for ten years its prelate. He held successively the offices
of Chaplain, Vice-President, and President of the State Society, S. A. P.,
of Michigan, and was also at the time of his leaving Michigan the
Chaplain of the Society of Colonial Wars. In 1912 he left Detroit to
become the Dean of Crane Theological School, Tufts College. He is
now serving a second term of two years as the President of the Uni-
versalist General Convention, and for several years has been chairman
of its Board of Trustees. He is still a member of the Michigan Society,
S. A. R., and also of the Massachusetts Society, and an honorary mem-
ber of the Essex Chapter of Lynn.

souls of men, wherein Thou hast revealed Thyself and all Thy pur-
poses. We thank Thee that Thou hast given them skill of hand by
which they have mastered earth and wrought things for comfort and
for beauty. We thank Thee that Thou hast given them minds whereby
they penetrate to the highest of the skies and the lowest of the earth,
the most minute revelations of Thy purpose. We thank Thee most of
all that Thou hast given them spirits and aspirations penetrating to the
mysteries of life and immortality, of faith and truth. We thank Thee
that Thou hast led Thy children through the various changes of this
earth, peopling it, mastering it and constantly lifting before humanity
higher and finer ideals. We thank Thee, Father, that as the earth has
grown populous the; ideals of men have lifted up, and as we come

together this day Ave thank Thee that in the mystery and mastery of
Thy provinces Thou hast given to men this land and Thou didst people
it with those who came, not seeking territory, lint a plaee where they
might be free to worship Thee, and to grow in all things good and true
and just. We thank Thee for their perseverance and for their spiritual
and moral and governmental and religious triumphs. Thou wast with
them; they have been Thy people. We thank Thee for the triumphs of
their hands and minds, hut most of all for their souls and their endeavor
to spread those truths of justice, right and equity. For our fathers, as
we gather here today we, their sons, give humble thanks, and as Thou
wast to them the guide, he to us the guide. We remember them and
treasure them and would live out the lives which they made possible to
us. We belong to this latter (lay, and to all the complexities, to all
the re-adjustments, to all the changing conditions of this day, give us,
Cod, that vision to know what is truth and right and justice for this
the nation which we love best and for this nation in its relation to all
the nations of the earth. We come here a company of men glad for the
past but glorying in tile future. Give us wisdom and may this gathering
work out new ideals for us, and stimulate us to new service for our
nation and for the world. Here in silence, Our Father, we remember
those who have given their lives for the service of this nation, those
who gave it in the olden wars, those who gave it in the recent wars.
God rest their souls in peace and make us mindful -of their sacrifices,
and stimulate us will) a new zeal to so labor and so work that wars
shall lie no more, but peace and righteousness and truth. Bless out-
organization in all its parts and all its interests. Bless the membership
that is not gathering with us; awake in all the new sense of service
and righteousness. Be with our nation in its perplexities; give wisdom
to those who guide in high or humble places, and help us ever to lift
higher the ideals which are upon our flag and which are in our hearts,
of that nation which God has blessed — a nation of the people for Un-
people and by the people — to serve the world here and to serve the world
everywhere. Bless all who are here, bless all whom we love, through
Thy spirit and our obedience to Him, who is the Way, the Truth and
the Life. Lead us on amidst the mysteries and perplexities of life to
the triumphs of peace and righteousness, in the name of Christ, Amen.

necticut opens her doors to you this morning in hospitality. We wish
'you all to have a good time. Some of you know Connecticut well,
others have occasionally visited it and think', perhaps, you know it, and.
some others know it only by reputation, but we are so glad to have yon
here that our Compatriot, the Chief Magistrate of the State, has
kindly consented to come and give v<m a formal word of welcome in
the name of the State, lie needs no introduction to us. Our State has
repeatedly called him to be its Chief Magistrate. Simple, direct, honest,
fearless, capable, he has conducted the affairs of the State through
peace and war in such a masterful manner that although the State has
tried to honor him, he in turn has brought more honor to the State
than it can ever repay.
Mr. President General and gentlemen of the Congress, ladies and
friends, his Kxeellcncy Marcus II. llolcomb, Governor of Connecticut.

WELCOME BY GOVERNOR MARCUS If. HOLCOMB.
Governor I Ioi.comis: It seems to me that when 1 look over this audi-
ence it wotdd be more appropriate to say grandfathers than to say sons.
Put I am very much pleased to look' into the faces of men who have
arrived at the age of discretion and who ought to be sound, sane, and
.sensible (laughter).
Now*, we are very glad to welcome' you to the Slate of Connecticut
and to the city of Mail ford, one of the three towns on the Con-

nectieut River which founded the colony of Connecticut. It isn't a great
while to look hack to the Revolution. Some of you are almost old
enough to remctuher some survivor of the Revolution. It is less than
twice my age to the Revolutionary War, and this Society has for its
©liject and purpose the veneration of the memory of those red-hlooded
ancestors of ours who were not too proud to fight (laughter), and I
hope to God there is no one here that's too proud to hght for the honor
of the United States and the preservation of the United States.
We are glad to welcome you to Connecticut hecause it is one of the
prominent colonics in the establishing of our independence. It was the
first colony to instruct its delegates in Congress to urge a Declaration
of Independence and the first colony to adopt the Declaration of
Independence, the colony which sent the most soldiers to fight in the
Revolutionary War — 40,000 out of the 200,000 men in the Revo-
lutionary War were Connecticut men. So we are proud that you should
conic to Connecticut to hold this Convention, and we want to say to
yoU that Connecticut stands as true to the ideals for which our fore-
fathers fought as they did in those days. In all the wars which we
have had, Connecticut has stood firm and clone its full duty. In this
last war, if the other States of the Union had furnished the same pro-
portion of soldiers that Connecticut did we should have had 5,000,000
men in this army — more than 5,000,000 men. In the contributions which
were given to support the war the State of Connecticut furnished [49.95
per cent of what they were asked to furnish, and [ have up in the
Capitol a llag that was presented to me as the Governor of the State-
in evidence of what Connecticut did in the contributions to the
financial assistance of this country, It is a llag that had floated over
the National Capital al the inauguration of the President; it floated
over the Capital again when the armistice was declared in November,
1918, and then it was presented to the State of Connecticut with the
statement that it was given to us hecause we were the first of all the
States to contribute to the support of this war 149.95 per cent.
(Applause.) The next State to us was Michigan, with 135.7 per cent.
(Applause.) A large part of that was due to such men as ex-Senator
and ex-Governor Morgan G. Bulkeley (applause), who, whenever
there was a lag or an apparent lag in subscriptions-, would come for-
ward and say, "We will subscribe — the /Ktna Life Insurance Company
and other .associations— $5,000,000 more"— and the city of Hartford
subscribed to the Liberty Loan $161,000,000 (applause), an amount
equal to $1,000 for ever)' man, woman, and child in Hartford. (Ap-
plause.)
\'o\v, vve have some fads here in Connecticut, You know our fore-
fathers, our Revolutionary fathers, fouglH US esiahlish this government
for us, and then they fought after the war was over for several years
to establish a Constitution, and I want to see that Constitution pre-
served. I \v;mt In see it lived lip to, and so far as I can do it I am \
going to have it lived up to. (Applause.) There seems to be a tend-

cncy today to say, "What's a Constitution between friends," and to
ignore the Constitution, ignore constitutional methods to get at some-
thing that is desired. Well, I hope they won't do it.
Now, the chairman spoke ahout giving you the keys to the city, the
keys to the State. You are welcome to everything there is in the State.
(Laughter.) i want to give you a little secret — if you really want to
find the proper key go to Dr. Williams. (Laughter and applause.)
The Chairman: Governor J lolcomh, such a welcome as yours would
gratify any group of American citizens, but to Sons of the American
Revolution— many of us proudly tracing our ancestry bade, to the
founders of the "Constitutional State," recognizing the ready and
overwhelming response of your sovereign State to every call upon its
loyalty — to us this greeting is of particular significance; and on be-
half of this Congress of the National Society of the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution, we accept your welcome from the bottom of our
hearts. We congratulate you, Governor Holcomb, upon the proud
honor of being the Chief Executive of the State of Connecticut (ap-
plause), and we congratulate the State of Connecticut upon its three
illustrious war Governors. ( Applause.)
Mr, Wiirn:: Gentlemen, it has been customary for the Mayor of the
city to extend greetings at the formal occasions that occur here. We
regret that he will not lie able to be with us today. But we have his
uncle (laughter) — and his uncle 1 can tell you shines by no reflected
light, lie himself has been Mayor, Governor, Senator of the United
States from Connecticut, and for sixty years or so he has been promi-
nent in all political, social, and financial activities, and is today, al-
though in the fullness of years, the active head of one of the largest
and most beneficient institutions in the world — Governor Bulkeley.
Compatriots arise and applaud.
WELCOME BY EX-GOVERNOR MORGAN G. BULKELEY.
Governor IU;i,kku;y : Mr. President General and chairman of the
committee, it is a great privilege to be recalled from a retirement as
Mayor of Hartford of thirty or forty years ago to meet with you this
morning, and to extend for the city, in which I have lived for many,
many years and where it has been my privilege in a way to serve the
community, the official greetings of the present Mayor and a welcome
to this historic city.
You are meeting today, gentlemen of the Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution, upon historic ground, as. perhaps, you all know.
This has been the home — these grounds and these surroundings — -for
almost three hundred years of the history of Connecticut. It was the
pastor of thif church, which was brought from Massachusetts, who
first proclaimed here in Hartford that wonderful sermon which was the
foundation of the Connecticut government and of the rights of the
people to govern themselves-, (Applause.) In the grounds adjoining
84 ' • SONS Ol- Till') AMERICAN REVOLUTION!
this building' are the remains of the early settlers of Connecticut and
of Hartford.
I bid you this morning a most hearty welcome to our city. I present
you no keys to the city, for we have no lock upon our door. (Applause.)
The Iatchstring hangs out, as in olden times, and you have but to pull
the string and the door responds to your entry.
We have, perhaps, grown in size since your Society last met iri Con-
necticut. We have grown in number; we have been brought up in the
years that have past with the ideas of the founders of Connecticut and
our religious and our educational institutions, the church and the school-
house have traveled along side by side for all these three hundred
years of our existence— nearly three hundred. We have participated
in all the glories that have reflected so much honor upon our country and
upon our State. It has been my privilege, in the years somewhat pro-
longed that have been allotted to me, to witness the patriotic spirit
of Connecticut's people from the time of its settlement, and I have five
times during my lifetime witnessed the boys of Connecticut start from
their homes in the service of their country (applause), and it has been
my privilege to welcome them back from those conflicts in which they
were engaged.
I give you a hearty welcome to Hartford, and I also want to extend
to you on behalf of a sister Society, the Sons of the Revolution, of
which I have had the honor for many years to be President, our most
hearty greetings. (Applause.) I have for many years been an ardent
advocate of some method by which the two Societies could be joined
together (applause), and J hope in the course of your deliberations here-
in Connecticut a treaty of peace may be concocted and perhaps signed,
which will lead in the future to the joining of these two Societies into
one, to commemorate the memories of its founders. 1 also bring to you
as a member of the Connecticut Society of the Cincinnati its most
hearty greetings. (Applause.) It was, as you know, the foundation at
the close of the Revolution of the patriotic spirit of the men that had
won the war, and with these few remarks I present you again not the
keys but the string that opens the door, not only to our homes but to
our hearts. (Applause.)
The Chairman: It takes an ex-mayor to understand how another
ex-mayor feels. (Laughter.) I haven't even been a mayor, so I am
going to ask to respond to this word of welcome on behalf of the city
of Hartford, Honorable James H, Preston, Mayor of the city of Balti-
more and now President of the Maryland State Society. (Applause.)
RESPONSE BY -HON. JAMES H. PRESTON, OP BALTIMORE.
Mayor Pki'.sTon : Mr. President General, it is a very great gratification
to respond to the welcome of an ex-mayor, [ndeed, I think it must be
an augury of what may possibly be in store for a less deserving ex-
mayor to receive today a welcome from Hartford of an ex-mayor who

is also an ex-governor and also an ex-United States v Scnator C applause
and laughter), without a ray of hope that the same rule which you
have followed in Connecticut may he followed in Maryland, (Laughter.)
Tt is a delightful occasion, Mr. Mayor, Governor, Senator, to he in
your splendid city and State. We, coming up from the Sunny South —
hut not more sunny than this beautiful May day in Hartford — feel on
hallowed ground in New England, in Connecticut, in Hartford. The
memories of our early days — the Pequot War, the great swamp fight,
Nathan Hale, Roger Sherman — all the resounding names of history,
come to us as we see your statues, your public buildings, and enjoy the
flavor of your hospitality. The blood and the instinct and the atmos-
phere of Judge Tilton of Maryland, of Charles Carroll of Carrollton,
join with the flavor of Roger Sherman, and all go to show the breadth
of our Americanism, the development of our nationality, the realization
of the ideals of our forefathers. It is for the purpose of perpetuating
those traditions and that history that we, the Sons of the American
Revolution, are visiting TTartford today.
We receive, Governor, at your hands, this message of welcome, in tin-
hope that we may, over the broad land, from the Pacific to the Atlantic,
from the Canadian border to the Southern gulf, have a concentration
of American patriotism, of American feeling in this, our special depart-
ment, that may have its effect on the trying time now existing, so that
we may lead to a better, a purer, a nobler, a higher Americanism.
Thank you. (Applause.)
Mr. Wjutk: Gentlemen, you know now that you are welcome to our
State, you know now you are welcome to our city. We have got you
in through two doors now, the next is the Stale Society. The President
of the State Society is one who has gone in and out among you for
many years. Some of you know him very well; but we know him here
and love him, not only for his good fellowship and his courtesy, but for
his honesty and fairness. He needs no further introduction from me,
hut I will just present to you Dr. George C. P. Williams, President of
the State Society.
Compatriots arise and applaud.
WELCOME BY UP. GEORGE C. P. WILIJAMS, PRESIDENT
CONNECTICUT SOCIETY.
Dr. Wji.uams: Mr. Superintendent of the Glad Hand, President
General, Governor Bulkeley, delegates to the Thirty-first Annual Con-
gress of the National Society of the' Sons of the American Revolution,
ladies — not last, but first — yes, first in war, first in peace, and first in
the hearts of your countrymen. (Laughter and applause.) We are
glad to see you here, ladies. We are grateful to you for delivering the
delegates into our hands in so excellent a state of preservation.
(Laughter.) What we shall do to them will be limited only by the
restrictions of the' eighteenth amendment. (Laughter.)

SONS 01' TIIK AMERICAN UJvVOl„UT ION.
As I look over this assemblage of delegates I am convinced that
Hartford has never before entertained a body of men at one time so
distinguished and so handsome. I wish we could show to you more of
Hartford than your allotted time will permit. There is much in the
city to divert the traveler from far countries. You might be interested
in our varied industrial activities. You will discover on every side
manifestations of thai ingenuity and enterprise which have made the
wooden nutmeg and the bass-wood ham household words (laughter),
the presumptive purchasers of those mythical products residing, of
course, in other States. Hartford has many natural beauties, animate
and inanimate, to please the eye and to distract your attention from the
more serious purposes that brought you here. There are also many
historical reminiscences, especially mementoes of the .American Revo-
lution,
Naturally your attention will be centered here. I'ut if when you arc-
not engrossed in the excitement of listening to last year's reports or the
thrill of ballotting for next year's candidates, and you have the time
and the inclination to visit the State Library, the librarian, Mr. God-
dard, a member of this Society, can exhibit to you, for instance, the
old Charter of the Colony negotiated by an adopted Connecticut Yankee
ai the Court of King Charles the Second. If you should go through
the Morgan Memorial and the Atheneum, Mr. Cay, another member of
this Society, can show you in line and letter marks of the many ardu-
ous footsteps of our forebears which in three hundred years have
placed our country in its present position of moral and material pre-
eminence. In the rooms of the Connecticut Historical Society the
librarian, Mr. Bates, also a member of this Society, can produce from
his ample stores, rich in the spoil of time, an old dcc(\ to show that
the rude forefathers were not incapable of stealing justly with a noble
revenue. You may look upon the neighborhood of the old Dutch Fort
of Good Hope, which stood on the bank of the Connecticut River when
that band of adventurers came here from Massachusetts in 1636 with
Thomas Hooker, their spiritual guide, to enter into real-estate relations
with the Chief of the Petpiots, called Sassacus. The name was a
gentle euphemism in. relation to his method's of incitement to strife,
which at length led to the elimination of his tribe from among the con-
certed agricultural pursuits in the Connecticut Valley. (Laughter and
applause.) Near by you may view the site of the Charter Oak, now
long since departed but still in evidence in numerous objects, useful
and ornamental, fashioned from wood. Their abundance has been
adduced as proof that once there was such a tree (laughter), but the
magnitude of their abundance casts some discredit upon the legend
that the tree was hollow. (Laughter.)
You may even walk within the old-time hone- of Joseph Webbs, Esq.,
Where, as Washington says in his Journal on May 22, i/cSr, he fixed,
with Count de Rochambeau, upon a plan of campaign, which campaign

after the final agony at Yorktbwn was to bring to the Colonists who
had passed through the furnace of the American Revolution, inspired
by the glorified patriotism of Washington and sustained by his iron
will, a victory which was destined to influence the history of the
nations so long as men shall dwell upon the earth.
There are very many places and records sacred in the association of
our country's history. There are many things to furnish inspiration
and to afford amusement. 1 bid you welcome to their enjoyment. I bid
you welcome to Hartford, with its ancient treasures and its modern
needs. In the name of I he Connecticut Society, whose members have
taken a warm intercsl in the assembling of Ibis Congress, I bid you
welcome to the joys of their Slate, 1o their pride and to their affec-
tion -I bid you welcome from the hearts of ils members. (Applause.)
The Chairman: A certain shot was fired, which was heard around
the world, not very far from here — -at least, not very far as we West-
erners measure distance. The welcome of the Connecticut Society is
equally audible, and it seems to the Chair to be fitting that a delegate
from one of the most distant States should respond to this welcome,
and let us know that away out there they heard it. I take pleasure in
presenting IJr. lien iamin , P. Railey, the President of the Nebraska
Society. (Applause.)
RESPONSE BY \YR. PENJAM1N P. PAIPKY, PRESIDENT OF
NIC PR A SKA SOCIETY.
Mr. BAiivEY : Mr. President General, Mr. Chairman, delegates, mem-
bers and visitors: It was surely an unexpected honor and privilege
j when a few moments ago your President General asked me to reply
to the greeting of the Connecticut Society. The only reason I feel that
he could have had the courage to ask this of me without preparation
is because he knew 1 was a Yankee — and Yankees never shirk. Tt is
always our duty to respond when the call comes, and, born in New
Hampshire of Connecticut parents, 1 could hardly fail to respond.
'[ ne cither day, back' in Nebraska, in a street car, a gentleman entered
who had recently shaved his face. lie had an appearance much
younger than he. bad presented before, and a gentleman looking at him,
not recognizing him, then coming to recognize him, called him by name.
"Why," he said, "you appear younger every day," and the other re-
plied, "J wish I could return the complim nit." He said, "You could
if you would lie as easily as I do.", (daughter.) Put, gentlemen, this
story is not applicable this morning, for the dignified elegance of the
representatives of Connecticut bespeaks for them, and we all know
that we could not have had more dignity, more beauty, men whom we
admire more, to present us the welcome today than have done so. It
seems to me that we have reached a time when the Sons of the
American Revolution ought to mean something in this country. It
seems to me we have reached a time, Mr. President General, when we
88
SONS OF TIllC AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
arc needed more than we ever were before. We know the principles of
our fathers — yea, and of our mothers. They fought for liberty of
thought and liberty of worship, and there has a time come to us now
when I think it is possible that there is just as much danger from the
red flag as there was from the red coat in the days of the Revolution.
During the war that has just passed you and I felt that we were enter-
ing a new time of altruism and that when the war was over a new
and wonderful time was to come, and yet we find that, after all, ego-
tism, the power of might over right, the fight for one's self and for
one's own luxury, is more dominant than ever, and it needs those who
by birth are Sons of the American Revolution to carry this through
until '"the time shall come when our American people will find them-
selves — and that time surely will come. (Applause.)
I do not wish to weary you, but I wish to recall the little boy in the
country school when the committeeman— T think it was up in New
Hampshire — visited the school, and the school room was decorated,
and the flag hung on the wall, and the committeeman said, "How many
of you can tell me what the Hag is for?" And one little boy raised his
hand and the committeeman said, "What, my son?" And he said, "To
hide the dirt." (Laughter.) The American flag was born to hide the
blemishes of the world because it should remove them. It was born to
teach us that he who serves his fellow man is the strongest and best
of all, and so, in returning the greeting that was given to us by the
representative of the Connecticut v Society, it's a pleasure for me to
speak for a Western State, a Slate in which English and only English
is spoken in all Ik t schools (applause), a State which sometimes goes
wrong politically but is absolutely right at heart, a Slate which shares
with Iowa the lowest percentage of illiteracy in the Union and which
the Government says is the richest State per capita in the Union: for a
city which has been called the Boston of the West-— and though Boston
has ceased to speak English on her streets, we still use the English
language (applause and laughter) ; for a city which is a great educa-
tional center, for a people who have come to realize wdiat the Sons of
the American Revolution mean. We are determined this year to double
and more than double our membership. We clasp hands with Con-
necticut and with Connecticut clasp hands with all the other States in
upholding the principles of our fathers of the Revolution and seeing
to it that the banner does remove every blemish, that the red flag dis-
appears, and that our people have liberty and not license. We thank
you for your welcome. (Applause.)
Mr. Whitk, : It is said that when the armistice was signed, over in
Brest, in one of the company regiments of colored soldiers one of the
privates, as soon as he heard of it, threw down the shovel he was
working with and said, "I am through." "Why," the corporal said, "no,
you're not, go right on." He said, "No, I'm through. T enlisted for
the duration of tin; war, the war am closed and I'm through." Well,
I'ROCtiJClUNGS oi- n ARTJPOUD CONGUIvSS,. 89
the corporal hardly knew what to do for a moment, but finally he said,
"Yes, Sam, you did; you enlisted for the duration of the war. The war
is over, hut," he said, "the duration am just begun." I tell you, my
friends, that's so. (Applause and laughter.) Getting from war to '
peace is the duration. It's easy enough to get into war, and with the
spirit that we have it is pretty easy to carry on the war; but to get
from' war back to peace is really a trying thing.
One of our members, the President of our local Branch, has been
doing his part in getting back from war to peace, lie has been at the
head of the Home Service Section of the Red Cross here, in addition
to his other arduous duties in assisting our ex-Mayor, ex-Governor,
ex-Senator, in the management of the /Etna Life Insurance Company,
and he has been caring for the disabled soldiers and their families and
their children. Now, it seems to me that today we might call our-
selves the children of some of the soldiers disabled in the Revolution,
and as he has cared for the others I think he van speak a few words
to you — Air. John M. Parker of the Jeremiah Wadsworth Branch,
Hartford, Connecticut. (Applause.)
WELCOME BY COMPATRIOT JOHN M. PARKER, OP THE
JEREMIAH WADSWORTH BRANCH, OF HARTFORD.
Mr. Parker: Mr. President General, gentlemen of the Congress,
honored guests and ladies: After the greetings that have been extended
to you by the distinguished gentlemen who have preceded me, I hope
that no doubt exists in your minds as to the quality and quantity of
{your welcome to the State of Connecticut and the city of Hartford.
I had a very elaborate speech prepared, but since Dr. Williams got
hold of my notes I shall have to satisfy myself with a few words. We
arc proud to have you with us, we are glad to have you with us, and
it has been our pleasure to have planned some things for your enter-
tainment and comfort and pleasure. We hope that every moment with
us will be an enjoyable one and that when this too brief sojourn in
our midst shall be only a memory, it will be a pleasant memory. If in
our efforts to show you the sincerity and the depth of our welcome to
Connecticut and to Hartford we have not measured up to our wishes
in your behalf, it will be through errors of the head and not of the
heart. Gentlemen, on behalf of the Jeremiah Wadsworth Branch I will
simply add to the welcome that has been so well expressed by. the
other -speakers. (Applause.)
The Chairman: The local Branch of the Connecticut Society is
one of the banner Chapters of the entire organization. I am deeply
impressed with the importance of the Chapter system. We have on the
platform a gentleman from one of the Western States whieh has
demonstrated the great value of the Chapter system, a Compatriot who
has worked up the Chapter system in his State. It is fitting that he
90 SONS Ol' Till-; AMJvKICAN REVOLUTION.
should respond to this welcome from the President of the local
Branch. I present Past President General Khner M. Wentworth, of
Iowa.
Compatriots arise and applaud.
RESPONSE BY PAST PRESIDENT GENERAL ELMER M.
WENTWORTH, OF IOWA.
Mr, WivN'i'worth : Mr. president General, compatriots and friends.
If ever a man on God's green earth was justly entitled to say that this
is an unexpected pleasure, I am that man.
Now, I did have ambitions. I thought there would be some magnifi-
cent exemplar of patriotism representing the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution hid us welcome, who would give me an opportunity to
hunch around the corner and say to the President General, "May I
respond?" I know that Pugsley, I know that Beardsley, I know that
Marble, I know all of the ex-Presidents General would welcome that
opportunity, and why don't we do it anyhow? There they are (direct-
ing attention to galleries), and we know what is in their mind would
have been voiced by any spokeswoman who might have been selected
to present the greeting. What the Governor has said and what the ex-
Governor and the ex-Senator has said about Connecticut, relating the
glories of Connecticut statesmen and soldiers and citizenship—their
deeds were but a primer for the salvos that would express what was
clone by the wives and the mothers in the days of the American Revolu-
tion. (Applause.)
Their Chapter system is the one solution for the big permanent
growth of our .Society. We who live in the West where our Chapters
and our members are separated by distances greater than either the
length or the breadth of your hospitable State, find it hard to keep up
a local interest, where we have no local Branches or local Chapters.
We believe. most thoroughly that as they led in the years of the Revo-
lution, we as Sons of the American Revolution today can find no
better inspiration in the conduct of our work than the example that
has been set by the Daughters in their Chapter organizations through-
out the United States. The work which those ladies have done can in
a lesser degree be done by us; lesser because man never has the
enthusiasm, the pep, or the perseverance to carry on which woman
possesses— but as far as we can we should go, Compatriots, in the
organization of Chapters. While it's a great thing to he active in your
various Societies, the work that will make, the Sons of the American
Revolution the factor that it must be, if we are to proteel the heritage
and carry out tin- obligations which our ancestry and our ideals, our
laws and onr Constitution make incumbent upon ns, we must do in an
individual way in the communities in which we live. I,c1 lis not seek to
PKOClvKDINCS OF HARTFORD CONGRIvSS. 91
grasp that which is just over the horizon, but do that which lies at our
door.
May I digress a moment, sir, and say to you as a Son of the American
Revolution that during my term of office as President General J did
whatever I found it possible to do to bring about a unity of the two
Societies. There was one thing we asked. We stood shoulder to
shoulder in defense of American ideals, we were glad to march step
for step in the promotion of American ideals; we arc proud of the
name American and we insist before any Steps be taken to bring about
a union of the two Societies the word American must be in the title
of the Order. (Applause.)
The Chairman : I am glad to note the arrival of Past President
General Pugsley. Will he kindly come to the platform?
Past President General Pugsley went to the platform amid applause.
The Chairman: The Chair will ask for the report of the Credentials
Committee. I feel that the delegates are thoroughly assured that they
are welcome.

The Chairman: Compatriots, several distinguished Sons of the
American Revolution, whose services to this organization have been
signal and whom we hold in warm love and respect, have, since the last
Congress, responded to the call for higher service. It is fitting that we
pause to pay them a tribute of high esteem. The Chair will call upon
Director General Lewis B. Curtis to present resolutions commemorative
of Past President General Edwin S. Greeley. (Applause.) Will the
Compatriots rise?
Mr. CURTIS: Pursuant to the appointment of the President General,
these resolutions were compiled by a committee and are now submitted
for your approval. They are as follows:
WiiivKivAs it has pleased God to take from us our Brother Com-
patriot, General Edwin S. Greeley, who died at his home in New
Haven, Conn., on January 10, 1020; and
WHEREAS General Greeley has for nearly thirty years been a member
of The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution and
has served the Society by holding many offices, including ih.it of Presi-
dent General of the National Society, and has been its constant sup-
porter lip to the time of his death; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the President General and the Executive Copunittee
of The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution ex-
94 SONS 01- THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
press their deep sorrow at their bereavement and extend to the family of
the deceased their sincere sympathy.
Resolved, That this resolution be recorded in the records of the
National Society and a copy conveyed to his family and be published in
the Bulletin.

Director General and Chairman,
Louis Annin Ames,
Director General and Past President General,

Attest: Committee.
Lewis B. Curtis,
Director General and Chairman.
The Chairman: You have heard the resolutions. What is your
pleasure ?
It was moved and seconded that the resolutions he received and
adopted and the recommendations complied with. Motion carried.
Dr. Williams: 1 would like to make a motion here with regard to a
Past President General who has been overlooked for a great many
years. lie was the firsl President General of the National Society, a
Connecticut man. He moved away from the State and I suppose that
is the reason he has been overlooked, but through the notices for this
Congress he received word that a Congress was to be held, and he has
written a letter in trembling hand— he is a very old man — and he says
he has had two attacks of paralysis and he supposes his end is near.
[ think it would please him very much if we should send greetings
from this Congress. Therefore, I wish to move that the President
General be instructed to send the greetings of this Congress to the Hon.
Lucius P. Deming, first President General of the National Society
of the Sons of the American Revolution.
The motion was duly seconded ami carried.
'fhe Chairman': 1 value very highly a letter which 1 received from
Past President General Deming a few days ago, regretting his inability
to accept the invitation to he here.
Compatriot Seymour C. Loomis of the Connecticut Society will pre-
sent further resolutions on behalf of the Connecticut Society relative
to Past President General Greeley.
Mr. Loomis: Mr. President General and Compatriots, in behalf of the
Connecticut Society and of its committee appointed thereto, Governor
Woodruff, Judge Simpson, and of which committee \ have the honor
also to he a member, 1 invite your attention while we pay a brief tribute
of respect to the memory of one whose presence at previous Congresses
was always appreciated and enjoyed and whose absence tpday we
deeply feel.
Air. Loomis then read the resolution, which i- as follows:
By every standard by which excellence in character is measured, v
General Edwin Seneca Greeley was the very type and fulfillment of his *
PROCEEDINGS OF HARTFORD CONGRESS. 95
time. In the hazard of life he was forced to seek his fortune at the
age of twelve years and became a machinist's apprentice. From child-
hood he wrought in iron. He knew no college; his university was
severe experience and his instructors, when his mind was young, were
the forge and the anvil.
God gives to some men a natural culture surpassing that acquired
from the curriculum of schools, and fashions them out of the stern
fahric of the age they live in, for His high purposes.
There is no merit in blue hlood, but there is an aristocracy of clean
and upright living.
General Greeley was one of such aristocracy.
To have descended from a family of titles is no special distinction,
but to have been the child of generations of men and women who sur-
mounted obstacles and accomplished tasks and kept the faith, is the
honorable lineage of the true American. This was the dauntless spirit
of the Pilgrim pioneer. Tie came from the blood of the builders of a
race who gave our country the custody of law, the virtue of home, the
vitality of religion, the democracy of education, and the refuge of the
human race — self-government, individual initiative, and industrial tran-
quillity. Their creed in politics is that it is respect for the law and not
fear of the law that makes civilization.
To General Greeley duty was the first rerpu'rement for citizenship.
He had an unselfish devotion to his country and to his home and to his
fellowmen, even at the cost of personal sacrifice. He volunteered his
life for his convictions. Such men live for the immortality of the
period in which they are actors.
The long experience of this man is not to be detailed here. This
is not an occasion for a complete biography. The story of General
Greeley's career might well be a part of the education of every Amer-
ican fireside. It is briefly this —
lie was born in Nashua, New Hampshire, May 20, 1832, a son of
Seneca and Priscilla Field Greeley. His grandfather was Colonel Joseph
Greeley, a soldier of the American Revolution. The family is of
Scotch stock and the American ancestor Andrew Grcele (as the name
was then spelled) came to Salisbury, Mass., prior to 1640. Young
Greeley was compelled to make his own way in the world at the age
of twelve years. He became a machinist's assistant and grew with the
craft and was especially interested in locomotive construction. His
work took him to various centers of industry. In 1855 he came to
New Haven, obtained employment with the railroad company and as-
sisted in the building of the first locomotive constructed there. New
Haven became his home and Connecticut his State, and he paid a great
price in service as her citizen.
In 1856 he was married to Elizabeth A. Corey, of New< Haven. A
daughter was horn who died in eighteen months. His wife died in 1908.
He is survived by an adopted daughter, Jennie Elizabeth Greeley.
On August 2r, 1861, he went to the Civil War as a second lieutenant,
with the Tenth Connecticut Volunteer Infantry, serving throughout the
long conflict and advancing in rank until, on May 13, 1865, lie was made
a brigadier-general. His services during the war were continuous,
perilous, and exacting. He won promotion on his merit as a man and
Tiis courage as a soldier. Impressed with the meaning of that war and
inspired by the obligations of those who fought to preserve our Union,
he became interested in public affairs and continued his interest until
he died, lie was an active member of those patriotic societies which
carried on the work of teaching true Americanism and was honored
bv his companions and elected to the place of President General of
The National Society, Sons of the American Revolution, at the New
Haven Congress in io<U- He became a member of the Connecticut
(jC) SONS 01/ Till; AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Society in 1891 and was Vice-President from 1895 to 1902, and has
been a member of its Board of Managers since 1892. He was a com-
manding figure in our National Congresses and wielded a vast and
benign 'influence in the affairs of our order.
In all Grand Army matters lie was interested — in all works of civic
evolution and philanthropic co-operation, in all progressive religious
development, in all enterprises for the cultivation of the spirit of
practical kindness and relief, in all public activities, and in the industrial
enlargement and sound investment of public confidence in commerce
and finance he was prominent. Lie was a man of resource and reliability
and of an unblemished personal accountability throughout the eighty-
eighth years of a faithful contribution, modestly and cheerfully rendered,
to his fellowmen.
His- character is written in his last will, which reveals in its chari-
table provisions all the gentleness of his heart and the frank and noble
justice of his mind.
His military career is a record in itself so familiar to us all that it
may be summed up in a single sentence: lie dedicated his life to his
country and valiantly expressed the genius of his ancestors, comprehend-
ing that the life of a man is the measure of his usefulness and that
the motive of that life is the value of his mission. Here on earth we
estimate a man by the wealth or poverty of his example. His presence
with us passes with his death, but what he has done becomes a part of
our age. Tt is the spiritual and real value that lives long after the
man is gone, for the spirit and reality of a good man remains forever in
the fabric of the soul of human society. The nation lives by the lives
of its noble citizens, wdio have given to it more than they have received
in an unselfish devotion to its welfare, its honor, and its reputation.
Therefore, be it resolved, That the National Society, Sons of the
American Revolution, in deep and lasting recognition of the wealth of
human kindness and of the example of a devout and sterling citizen,
expresses and registers its gratitude to God for the rich endowment
He has given us during all the splendid years of a companionship
with General Edwin Seneca Greeley, wdiosc death on January 10, 1920,
rounded a long life of dignity and honor and whose character is the
richest legacy any man can bequeath to our common country.
The man belongs to history.
Our purpose is to express the regard of those who knew him with
the intimacy of love.

The motion was duly seconded and carried.
The CHAIRMAN: In loving memory of Past President General
Franklin Murphy, of the N T ew Jersey Society, resolutions have been
drawn and will be presented by Director General Pouis Annin Ames.
Mr. AMES: Mr. President General: At noon on February 24, across
the wires of the nation there flashed the sad intelligence of the death of
Compatriot Franklin Murphy. Acting upon the request of your worthy
President General, who conveyed by telegram a message asking that
Past President General Marble and myself represent him at the
funeral on February 27, Mr. Marble being out of town 1 journeyed to
PROCEEDINGS 01- HARTFORD CONGRESS. 97
Newark officially, carrying with me a personal sorrow for the death of
a friend whose friendship had begun long before he or I was in the
Sons of the American Revolution. I walked through the streets of
Newark, whose tlags were at half mast, to the home of Compatriot
Murphy, filled with mourning friends. The entire Legislature of New
Jersey was there, having taken a recess in memory of Franklin
Murphy. On hehalf of the National Society i present the following
resolutions, with the motion that they he adopted:
Our beloved Compatriot, FfcANktiN Murphy, answered the summons
to the higher life February 24, 1920, and from earth passed a true
patriot whose love of country was a passion.
At the age of eighteen Compatriot Murphy responded to President
Lincoln's call for volunteers, serving for nearly three years with the
Fighting Thirteenth New Jersey Volunteers. His interest in the wel-
fare of his city, State, and Nation was deep and unselfish, lie served
the Commonwealth of New Jersey with honor ami distinction as
Governor for three years.
In [891 he became interested in the Sons of the American Revolution,
serving the National Society for five years as Secretary General, also
as Vice-President General and as President General. He was ever
devoted to the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution and
eager to further itsjnfluence.
With all we regret his too soon departure, thankful, though, that he
was one with and of us.

The Chairman: The adoption of this resolution has been moved.
Is it seconded?
The motion was seconded and carried.
The Chairman: One of the most beloved personalities in the entire
membership of the Sons of the American Revolution was John Milton
Reifsnider, who died in office as one of your Directors General. I will
ask Compatriot Ames to read resolutions of respect to John Afilton
Reifsnider.
Mr. A.MES: Mr. President General: One by one they go to the glory
that none may know. I cannot forget the morning of Friday, March rf).
I was awakened by the beating of the rain upon the window, and as T
looked out and saw how mother nature was sobbing I knew there was a
great grief. I came home that afternoon, looked at the western sky, and
saw a sunset that would do justice to October. At night the stars shone
with a wintry brightness. T did not know the meaning of that day
until the morrow. Then at my office there were telegrams from the
Maryland Society, the Secretary General and the President General
telling of the death of my friend, your beloved Compatriot, John Milton
Reifsn
cler.
98 SONS OL' TillC AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
I was asked by the President General to go to Westminster to attend
the funeral, and with Vice-President General Williams we journeyed
from an early hour in the morning and met Past President General
Wentworth at Philadelphia. At Baltimore we took an auto ride for
thirty miles across the country into the little sleeping village of West-
minster and went to the ancestral home built by the father of John
Milton Reifsnider, and looked upon the face of our departed friend.
There never was a more quiet village; no one on the streets, every
shade of every house drawn. We went to the office of John Milton
Reifsnider and then to the court-house, where his voice had been heard
hi the cause of humanity. Vice-President General Williams had this
conversation with the only villager we met upon the street. May I
recall it? ''You have lost," said Vice-President Williams, ''a dis-
tinguished citizen." The old man said, ''I knew John Milton Reifsnider's
father, lie was the banker and kept the store of the town. John
Milton grew up like other boys; but he was proud, lie became a
lawyer, and he was hard for justice. lie wanted justice for himself,,
but John Milton Reifsnider was harder though for justice for others.
See that court-house ! They elected a Judge this month. I'm a Repub-
lican. John Milton Reifsnider was a Democrat, but there wouldn't have
been a Republican in Westminster or Carroll County that wouldn't
have voted for John Milton Reifsnider."
The National officers and the State officers of Maryland were the
honorary pallbearers, and we went to the little stone church back from
the road in a grove of cedars, straight as the cedars of Lebanon. There
was not a villager at the church except the immediate family, and the
church was filled by Compatriots of Maryland and other States. After
the service of the Episcopal Church, read most expressively by Bishop
Murphy, we rode by the cemetery where were gathered the entire popu-
lation of Westminster and most of the people of Carroll County.
I offer this resolution as the voice of the National Society.
WiiERivAS, Our National Society, Sons of the American Revolution,
met with an irreparable loss in the death of our beloved Compatriot,
John Milton RiUi*snidf,r, who departed this life Friday, March 19,
1920:
Resolved, As great as the sorrow that has come into the lives of
relatives and friends is the loss that has befallen the cause of just
government and true patriotism in the death of John Milton Rkif-
SNIDtfR.
lie was a devoted husband, loving father, noble friend, upright citizen,
eminent jurist, conscientious and efficient public official, and earnest
patriot.
His fine sense of justice made him great in his chosen field of labor.
His deep love of country and abiding faith in its future endeared him
to all true lovers of America. His cvery-day acts were the realization
of the ideals of all tine souls.
He shall be missed, yet all are thankful that he enriched life in so
many departments.

Mr. Parks: Gentlemen of the Congress; I move that the following
be sent to the family of Vice-President General Morton. Vice-Presi-
dent General Morton was a member of the District of Columbia
Society, Sons of the American Revolution. He died yesterday at the
age of 96. The telegram suggested is as follows:
The National Society, Sons of the American Revolution, in annual
Congress assembled, extends to the family of our late Compatriot
Levi Parsons Morton, its sincere sympathy and condolence.
The passing of ibis distinguished American brings to our minds the
record of his eminent and patriotic services to his country during a
long and useful life.
The motion was seconded and carried.
The Chairman: Again the summons came. I will call upon Com-
patriot Branch, of the Maryland Society, to offer resolutions of respect-
to the memory of Past President General Edwin Warfield.
Mr. BRANCH: Mr. President General and Compatriots: By the par-
tiality of our compatriots in Maryland it is my privilege to pay a little
tribute to my warm personal friend, with whom T was associated most
of his life, as I present the resolutions of our Society.
Governor Warfield came from a family known in history as being
identified with the burning of the Peggy Stewart, an incident of na-
tional and world-wide interest — significant because it was done in broad
daylight and done by men without disguise. He was also identified
with the restoration of the Senate Chamber in Annapolis, where
General Washington resigned his commission in the army, and Gov-
ernor Warfield took special pride in that because the chamber had been
deformed, had been disguised, had been dismembered, but. he restored
it. You can see it now just as it was at the time General Washington
resigned his commission and as shown in the pictures which are
familiar to the world at large. He retired with full honors from that
position and passed his life finally as President of the Maryland His-

torical Society, so by family name and tradition and personal virtues
and character and then President of this National Society, we ask the
privilege of paying a slight tribute to him to be made a matter of
record by this Society:
It is with deepest regret that we announce the death of Honorable
Edwin Waki'ii:i,i), former President General of the National Society,
S<»ns of the American Revolution, arid former Governor of Maryland.
The life of our deceased eompatriot was replete with ihe highest
patriotic contributions to American patriotism.
His work as President General of the Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution was distinguished by noble ideals and ill keeping
with the traditions of the Society and its founders. Be it. therefore
Resolved, That the National Society, Sons of the American Revolution,
express its sense of loss in the death of the Honorable Edwin War-
l'ti'.i.n, and that it place on record its appreciation of his life and services
to his country and his State and to this Society, and that, these resolu-
tions lie spread upon the minutes of the Society, and a copy forwarded
to the family of our deceased compatriot.
I offer this for adoption.
The motion was seconded and carried.
The Chairman: I recognize Compatriot Read of Massachusetts.
Mr. Ri',ai>: Mr. President General and Compatriots: At the Congress
of the Society held in Detroit last year L had the honor to offer to the
National Society from the Massachusetts Society an historic gavel made
of wood from the old Bay State. The gavel has been fashioned. 1
have it with me, and I am now to present it to the National Society. It
has been made for us by one of our compatriots in Massachusetts,
Rnberdel Read, a resident of the historic town of Akton, a man of
about 8q years of age, who talks Revolution all his waking hours and
dreams Revolution all his sleeping hours. (Laughter.) The handle,
which is fashioned in the shape of a Revolutionary cannon, is made of
wood from the old State House in Boston, of which John Adams said
in his later years, "Here the child Independence was born." The
barrel is made of wood from Faneuil liall, in Boston, known through-
out the land as the "Cradle of Liberty," and the gem of the gavel lies
in the head of the barrel — not of wood but of stone — Plymouth Rock.
(Applause.) Inserted in small pieces throughout the gavel are bits of
historic wood from Massachusetts, and 1 will read briefly, Mr. Presi-
dent General — it won't take but a moment — where that wood has been
obtained: Prom Boston, the Old Elm, the Tea Party House, the Old
South Meeting House, the Paul Revere House, King's Chapel Burying
Ground, and Christ Church; from Charlestown, Bunker Hill and the
British frigate Somerset, which lay off of Charlestown during the bat-
tle in Cambridge; from Cambridge, the Washington Him; from Lexing-
ton, the John Harrington House, the Captain Isaac Davis I louse, and the
Rev. Jonas Clarke House; from Concord, the Asa Pollard House, the

first Church, the North Bridge, and the British Soldiers' graves, and,
finally, from Pennsylvania^ a piece of wood from Independence Hall, in
Philadelphia, A detailed typewritten statement will accompany the
gavel for preservation in the archives of the Society.
Now, Mr. President General, I present, yon with this gavel, and it
would he especially gratifying to the Massachusetts Society if yon
would use it at this Congress as you preside over its deliberation?.
The Chairman: Compatriot Read, on behalf of the Congress the
Chair accepts this remarkahle gavel with the serene confidence that it
has in it the elements out of which I will he able to construct a rudder
which will steer and stead)' the ship of state during the sessions of this
Congress. (Laughter and applause.)
In conformity with the By-Laws the Chair will appoint the following
Committee on Resolutions: Past Presidents General Beardsley and
Marble, and Compatriot Osborn, of Ohio.
The CHAIRMAN: Jt has been customary also to appoint a Committee
on Official Reports and Recommendations, to which committee such
reports will he referred. What is the pleasure of the Congress?
A MKmlucr: 1 move that they be appointed from the Chair.
The motion was duly seconded and carried.
The Chairman; I' will appoint Compatriots Wakefield, of Pennsyl-
vania; Uoardman, of Tennessee, and Sumner, of Rhode Island.
The Chairman : 1 will present at this point the report of the Presi-
dent General upon the progress of the Society:
•I
REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT GENERAL.
The several interests and activities of the Sons of the American
Revolution will be reviewed by separate reports to he presented today.
My report will therefore be in the nature of a general survey of the
organization. To those who have read my message to compatriots in
the March IJuu.ktin my present remarks will seem like a twice-told
tale, but repetition is a well established forensic device to secure atten-
tion and to make an adequate impact upon the sensorium.
To "see America first," as 1 have seen it during the past year, is a
privilege which comes to but few, and I assure my compatriots that I
am deeply grateful that this privilege should have come to me. I have
visited forty State Societies, passing from one hustling American city
to another, greeted by groups of earnest American patriots with that,
splendid hospitality which Sons of the American Revolution always
extend to their President General. 1 have been intensely gratified to
note the high place the Society holds everywhere in the esteem of the
American people. The very sound of the name has a ring which stirs
the hearts of those whose love of country is a vital force. State
officials, from the Governor down, mayors of cities, judges, college
presidents, men of distinction in all walks of life have vied with each
102
SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION,
other to do honor to our Society. We may well be proud of member-
ship in this order of the loyal heart. Those who founded it builded
better than they knew. All honor to those early compatriots of ours
whose vigorous constructive patriotism found stirring expression in that
ringing article of the Constitution of the vSociety, which defines its
purposes and objects. In its inspirational value it is worthy to stand
beside the Declaration of Independence, the Federal Constitution and
Washington's farewell address. Everyone of us should read and re-
read this memorable paragraph. It contains the recipe for true
Americanism. It gives our vSociety its vitality and its strong appeal.
Ill it lies the secret of its attractive power over the best men in every
community. Through it we have achieved a prestige which should
fill the heart of every loyal compatriot with pride.
It is to such organizations as ours that the country looks to stay the
present swelling tide of disloyalty. Education and a wholesome demon-
stration of governmental power are both needed in this warfare. But
of these two essential forces, education is paramount. In this field the
Sons of the American Revolution early took a conspicuous place. The
nation has recognized and endorsed our educational efforts and looks to
us to continue them. We cannot do better. We must move on, how-
ever, to a boarder held, and follow methods more or less standardized.
But to fulfill our mission most effectively, we must perfect our
organization. Our weakness lies in the want of cohesion between the
State Societies. There is not that warm bond uniting the societies
that should exist between men whose common interest is national
rather than local.
Compatriots should therefore accustom themselves to think of the
nation-wide scope of the organization, which is now promoting the
cause of patriotism in fifty Societies and one hundred and six Chapters.
Societies and Chapters should get away from a sense of isolation. In
the words of the hymn, "We are not divided, all one body we." What
our order needs is nationalization.
Societies and Chapters should get into closer touch with the National
Society. There should be more correspondence between State and
Chapter officers and National officers. The latter invite the active co-
operation of the membership everywhere in promoting the best interests
of the organization as a whole, and of the different groups.
Frequent reports should be sent to the Secretary General, for pub-
lication in the Bulletin, of elections and of the activities of the So-
cieties and Chapters. There is great remissness in this respect. The
only purpose of the Bulletin is to keep the held advised of the progress
of the organization. These reports should be as full as possible.
They are of great value, not only in suggesting to others successful
methods of expansion, but in arousing a healthful spirit of emulation.
There should be fostered a warmer fellowship between neighboring
Societies. Reciprocal courtesies should be extended to officers to at-
TltOCKKDINCS OV HARTFORD CONGRESS. IO3
tend and address annual and other meetings. It should be one of our
traditions that every visitor from another State is a guest of honor.
Every State Society should send a good representation to our annual
Congresses. It is a great privilege to attend these convocations of
patriotic-minded citizens from all sections of the country. Delegates
bring back to their societies fresh inspiration. Increased activity always
follows our Congresses in those societies which are represented.
The button should be worn by compatriots as constantly as possible.
It is a mark of honor. It identifies the bearer as a 100 per cent
American.
The conferring of the S. A. R. service medal has proved to be a most
popular and attractive feature of our meetings. The ceremony should
be made as impressive as possible, and the meetings should be widely
advertised. It has worked well in many cities, to use a public hall or
church for the occasion and to invite the public to be present. This
ceremony always gives the Societies the most creditable kind of pub-
licity. The presence of a National officer, though desirable, is not
necessary.
Tn this connection let me suggest that we should use all proper
means to get the right kind of publicity for the organization. Every
time the name "Sons of the American Revolution" appears in the news-
papers, beneficial results follow. Let us not be too modest. We have a
most important message for the American people. There is no better
way to deliver that message than through the public press.
No compatriot should regard himself as a loyal American unless he
is actively engaged in some form of Americanization work. "Trie
harvest is plenty, but the laborers are few." Our country's call for this
service at this crucial time should fall upon our ears with especial
force. Sons of the American Revolution are recognized as conserva-
tors of the American ideal. Much is expected of us, and we must see
to it that this expectation is not disappointed.
The American's Creed, by William Tyler Page, of the Maryland
Society, is thoroughly identified in the minds of the public with the
Sons of the American Revolution. In order to make this impression
permanent, we must redouble our activity in the distribution of this
inspired and inspiring document.
The enthusiasm with which the country received the suggestion of
the National Society that September 17 be set aside as a day for (lie
commemoration of the signing of the Federal Constitution was one of
the most inspiring incidents in the history of our organization. Last
September over thirteen thousand meetings were held, more than half
being under the direction of our compatriots. I urge all Societies and
Chapters to become prominently identified with this important celebra-
tion, so that it may continue to be known as a Sons of \]\c American
Revolution affair. The Constitution is a crystallization of American
ideals and its widespread study is the finest kind of Americanization.

This is the psychological moment to add to our membership. The
war has caused a nation-wide study of American principles, resulting
in a better understanding of and a deeper love for the flag. The best-
men in every community are waiting for the word of invitation. Let
this be the slogan in membership campaigns, "Membership in the
Sons of the American Revolution opens up new avenues of service to
our country." Especial effort should be made to get young men to
join. There is a dearth of young men in the organization in all parts
of the country.
The ranks of the American Legion offer a most attractive field of
labor for our membership committees. Indeed, there is no greater
service the .Sons of the American Revolution can perform for America
than to establish close and cordial relations with the American Legion.
Every opportunity should be used to cultivate and deserve the con-
fidence of this magnificent body of eager American youths.
I have become convinced of the great value of the Chapter system.
It scatters over a State groups of compatriots who are more effective
in securing a widely distributed membership than is possible from a
single point, however central. It brings the Society in closer contact
with the people through local meetings. It enables all members to
attend gatherings and to participate in the activities of our organization.
There is no belter way to build up State Societies than by developing
the Chapter system.
The Society of tire Soils of the American Revolution occupies a high
and unique position in America. Let none of its members forget the
peculiar obligations which rest upon them of alertness, loyalty and
initiative.
Compatriots, do you seek a definite form of Americanization work?
Build up the Societies and Chapters of the Sons of the American Revo-
lution. Perfect this splendid agency for the inculcation of American
principles.

The Chairman: Next in order will be the reading of the minutes
of the Detroit Congress. What is the pleasure of the Society?
A MEMBER: As the minutes have already been printed in the Yhak

of saving time.
The motion was duly seconded.
The Chairman: And approved as printed?
A Mem REr : Yes.
The motion was adopted and the minutes approved.

The Secretary General (hen read his report, which is as follows:
PROtfCtiDlNGS 01/ HAKTl''()kl) CONOKI'.SS. 1 05
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY GENERAL, APRIL r, 1920.
Compatriots: In accordance with the usual custom, yonr Secretary
General has the honor to submit his annual report covering a brief
summary of the affairs of the National Society for the past year. It
was with considerable embarrassment that 1 entered npon the duties of
this office and fear that I might not be able to meet fully the require-
ments of the situation as established by my predecessor, who had for
so many years directed the activities of the office. I still bear in mind
a remark made to me a year ago by one of the "elder statesmen" of
this organization who said that it would take me "a year at least to get
the hang of the office." While at times during the past year 1 have
been inclined to doubt the force of this remark', yet after recently com-
pleting the many necessary formalities required by a meeting of the
Annual Congress and the great amount of work connected therewith,
I am prepared to admit that the statement made to me a year ;tgo was
practically true.
At the outset of my entrance on the: duties of this office I was con-
fronted by a demand from the Sniiilisonian Institution at Washington
(in whose building our property has been located for so many years)
that we should remove from the space which we there occupied by the
first da>' of June, this being within about one week after my return
to Washington. However, through friendly influences, this requirement
was modified to the extent that permission was given to continue the
use of the space occupied until such time as a removal of our property
could be conveniently made. The great demand for office space in
Washington was an obstacle of much concern in the attempt to secure
convenient and proper quarters. After a few weeks a room of limited
capacity was obtained and our property installed therein. It was soon
found that more space was needed, and an opportunity occurring, a
larger room was secured and the second move made. The increasing
requirements for more space to properly and conveniently contain our
equipment was again evident, and the necessity for a third move became
pressing. Having, through personal business connections a few months
ago, become aware of an opportunity to secure accommodations of a
most desirable and suitable character for our requirements, I laid the
matter before the Executive Committee and received the necessary
authority for the lease of the room referred to. The headquarters of
the National Society are now, I believe, suitably and properly housed
and with space sufficient to supply means for necessary expansion. We
have two rooms of large size with splendid light and ventilation and
in a building of most substantial fire-proof construction in a central
and convenient location in Washington. It has been necessary to add
some equipment and a modest amount is still desirable, which can be
supplied as occasion requires. 1 feel that the National Society head-
quarters are well established, and the troublesome situation with which
I was confronted at the commencement of the year and which con-
tinued for several months has been happily removed.

SONS OF T1IK AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
The several publications of the Society have been issued as usual.
The Bulletin in its quarterly circulation is now requiring an edition of
about- 17,000 copies, and the last (March) issue after mailing to our
regular list had but a very small number of copies left over. The
Secretary General has endeavored in the Bulletin to not only present
the usual brief of the genealogical record of members admitted to the
Society, but also comment upon the various events in State Society
activities as well as other matters of interest. Such comments, how-
ever, are necessarily limited to brief reviews of reports from the State
Societies, and unless such reports are furnished by State officials the
Secretary General is compelled to omit reference to all organizations
failing to keep him informed of events of interest. Such omission fre-
quently attracts attention and often reports are received too late to
admit of attention thereafter.
Conspicuous among the events of great interest to the National
Society stands the presentation of the World War Medals authorized
by the National Executive Committee to be delivered to those coming
within the requirements established by the- committee. Great interest
has been taken in numerous States in the presentation of these medals,
and public meetings of various kinds have been held with most inter-
esting and varied exercises. About 1,300 medals have already been
distributed. It is estimated that of the entire membership of the
vSociety about 12 per cent have been actively engaged in the World
War service, and it is interesting to note that in one organization of
500 members more than 25 per cent have received the medals.
Another event of great significance during the past year has been
the observance of Constitution Day on September 17, 1919, throughout
our Society, under the guidance of the very efficient committee of one
hundred Sons of the American Revolution, appointed by the President
General. That committee, acting in connection with committees ap-
pointed by other patriotic organizations, performed such effective work
as resulted in celebrations held in 48 States, with a total of 31,765
celebrations throughout the United States.
You arc advised that three proposed amendments to the National
Constitution have been submitted and are due for action at this Con-
gress. These amendments have been published heretofore in the
Bulli',tins of the National Society and have had full publicity among
the members.
During the past year we have been compelled to realize that the high
cost of living has reached us in various ways and none more forcibly
than in our printing account. The Executive Committee has ordered
that in the matter of necessary blanks supplied to State Societies these
should be furnished at actual cost. We have been compelled, much to
our regret, to increase the cost to $2 of the engraved National Certifi-
cates furnished to members on application therefor, this amount barely
covering the actual cost to the National Society at this time. Also on
account of the .ureal amount of time required in the examination of
PROCEEDINGS 01- HARTFORD CONGRESS.
10 7
supplemental applications it has been found necessary to make a nominal
fee of $1 for each supplemental filed; this being in accordance also
with the custom established in other patriotic societies.
It has been my privilege and certainly a very great pleasure to be
able during the past year to visit in their several States a considerable
number of the officials of the various societies, principally in the east-
ern section of the country and extending from Maine to Maryland.
During the last winter I made a trip covering several States in the
South, extending as far as Birmingham, Ala. I had expected to con-
tinue my trip to New Orleans and visit the Compatriots in that city,
but a wire received at Augusta, Ga., from the energetic President of
the Louisiana Society advising me that he would be in Birmingham, I
had the pleasure of meeting him there. T had hoped to see some evi-
dence of the existence of active work in our organization south of
Virginia and north of Louisiana, but have been disappointed. Of the
energetic work of the Daughters of the American Revolution in that
section there is an abundance of evidence. In Virginia and Louisiana
we have two fine State Societies, managed by highly efficient officers
who are always alert with efforts for the advancement of the interests
of the organization. But when T consider that within that great section
between these two States and extending on to Texas, which embraces
many States having much of historical interest and value, there is no
activity in this work, 1 must confess that 1 have been amazed, and
simply express the hope that a way may be found to create interest and
excite a large degree of enthusiasm.
The figures relating to the additions and changes in our membership
will be given in detail in the report of the Treasurer General.
I have no suggestions to make at this time relative to methods of
business or other practical matters. None are necessary. The business
is progressing well; it has evidently greatly increased; a few advan-
tageous changes have been made in methods; the correspondence has
grown to very heavy proportions, but has been well handled; a multi-
tude of inquiries reach me which require much investigation and
thought, but they always receive courteous attention. I have competent
assistants, the work is up to date, and the machinery running smoothly.
What more could be desired? T must express my appreciation of the
very cordial support in my efforts which I have received from the
General Officers and members of the National Executive Committee.
A year ago when T accepted this office I said that whatever I might
do, although there might be errors, it would be the very best T could
give you. Aided by my great interest in the Society, I have endeavored
to fully meet this promise, and the result is before you.
Respectfully submitted,
Pinui' F. Larner,

I feel that I would be lacking in common gratitude if I did not take
this opportunity to express my appreciation of the diligence and patience
and initiative of Secretary General Larner, He has been an inspiration
to the National officers throughout the year, and I have had repeated
occasions to lie grateful to him for his assistance.
Secretary General Larner then read his report as Registrar General,
which is as follows :
REPORT OF THE REGISTRAR GENERAL FOR YEAR ENDING
APRIL I, 1920.
Your Registrar General has the honor to report that since the cessa-
tion of the World War there has been a marked increase in interest in
historical and genealogical subjects throughout the country. This is
partly shown by the increased number of applications to membership
and by the reawakening of dormant societies. Several new Chapters
have been formed, thus creating a deeper interest. I am glad to be able
to report that all the work pertaining to this office is finished to date,
every application to membership having been fully verified and proven
and no claims [lending.
Our files contain the papers of every member of the Society from its
inception, and, since they are not discarded at time of death or resig-
nation, number now in the vicinity of 34, 000 original papers and 6,000
supplementals, containing a rich fund of information in the way of
historical and genealogical data. Any paper can be easily reached by
means of the card catalogue system which has been kept up to date,
both by the applicant's name as well as that of the Revolutionary
patriot, and now numbers in the vicinity of 42,000 cards.
We have been able to report in each issue of the quarterly Bulletin
an increase in membership over the same period last year, although
last year's figures also showed an increase, which proves that there is
a steady gain in membership as well as interest in the Society. The
number of applications for new members examined and approved has
been l,igg. While we are able to report this increased interest, the
losses to the Society from death and other causes have been very large.
A number of the State Societies decided to drop all delinquent members
from their rolls and begin the Society year with a clean record. This was
particularly noticeable in Indiana and New Jersey. So while there
has been a jLjood inerease in the number of new members, it docs not
appear in the net increase of the National Society. .
The losses in several of the State Societies are mainly the result of
conditions (\\\l- to the late war, when many of the members were away,
either in active service for their country or engaged in other war work.
All societies were forgotten at that time.
The additions to the Society showing gain or loss of each State
Society, together with its total membership, follows and will lie printed
in the Year Book.
Ninety-eight former members have been reinstated. The losses by
PROCEEDINGS Ol' iTAR'ftfORD CONCRIvSS. ICXJ
death and other causes are 646, leaving- the active membership roll
16,285. The largest State Society is Massachusetts, with 1,800 mem-
bers; next "Empire State, 1,656; New Jersey third, 1,459; Illinois, 1,152;
Connecticut, 1,125.
The vSyracuse Banner, which is awarded to the State Society show-
ing- the largest increase in membership, will be retained by New jersey,
with 189 new members, which Slate received the trophy last year; 42
of this number were sons of members. The second largest increase
was in the Empire State Society, having 14 r additions to its member-
ship; Illinois, 115; Massachusetts, 103; Ohio, 96, and Indiana, 80.
The Traveling Banner, awarded each year to the State with more
than [00 members that shows the largest net percentage of increase in
membership, is won this year by Virginia, which shows an increase of
20.3 per cent.
As a result of the clause which was added to the Constitution admit-
ting applicants under 21 years of age, to be known as "Junior mem-
bers," about six have applied, three of them having been pending at the
time of the adoption of the amendment.
During the past year the National Society has lost by death a large
number of members, a number of whom have held at various times
offices of trust among us, and the loss of wdiose influence for the good
of the association will be felt for many years to come. Among these
are three who have held the highest office in the Society: Past President
General Gen. Edwin S. Greeley, of Connecticut; Jinn. Franklin Murphy,
of New Jersey, who held the offices of Secretary General, Vice-Presi-
dent General, and President General, and Past President General Hon.
Edwin Warfield, of Maryland; John Milton Reifsnider, of Maryland,
a member of the National Executive Committee and "Director General;
La Verne Noyes, of Illinois, at one time Vice-President General; David
Wittington, President of the Hawaiian Society; Frederick Tripp Bon-
ner, Secretary-Registrar of the North Carolina Society; Dr. Charles A.
Van der Veer, Secretary of the Arizona Society; Col. William B.
Thompson, Past President of the District of Columbia Society; Jona-
than Trumbull, Past President .of the Connecticut Society, besides a
number of members prominent in military and official life.
The custom of issuing a card notice of election heretofore sent out
from this office to each new member has, on account of the increased
cost of printing and material, been stopped and State Secretaries are
expected to notify their candidates of their acceptance. Dor the same
reason it was found impossible to publish gratuitously in the Bulletin
and Year Book the information contained in supplemental papers, which
were sometimes presented in large numbers. After consideration of the
subject by the Executive Committee, and, in accordance with the custom
of kindred societies, it was decided that it would be necessary to re-
quest a fee of $1.00 to the National Society for each supplemental
paper,
About 500 Certificates of Membership have been issued and several
hundred letters in connection with the work of this office attended to.
1IO SONS 01- 'PI I IC AMERICAN KKVOI.UTION.
During the summer the Board of Management of the State of Maine
Society investigated thoroughly the status of the "Association Test" of
the State of New Hampshire at the time of the Revolution in regard
to its standing as a claim to eligibility in our Society. They not only
secured their own official opinion, but that of an able lawyer, and the
papers containing their decision were submitted to this office. Upon
investigation the ages of the men signing this "Test" were found in
many cases to be within the fighting age — that is, between 20 and 50
years — and who performed no active service to aid the Colonies, and
since in some cases the signing must have been forced under penalty of
punishment, and since the signing of this document could hardly be
counted as an "overt act" as required by our Constitution, it was
decided by your Registrar General to support the decision of the Maine
Society and to accept no further claims based upon the New Hampshire
Association Test alone. The papers that have been presented from this
claim throughout the year have been mainly "supplementals" and have
been returned to the respective State officers with proper explanation.
It is hoped that each State Society will renew its efforts to increase
its membership the coming year as well as to retain those within our
ranks. Our officers should remember that every male relative of a
member of our sister Society of the D. A. R., now numbering 110,000,
is eligible to this Society, and a good active committee on increase in
membership in each locality could secure additional members with very
little trouble other than the use of the "Daughters" records.
Respectfully submitted, Piin.ii' F. Larner,
Registrar General.

REPORT OF THE TREASURER GENERAL.
Treasurer General BURROUGHS : Air. President General and Com-
patriots of this Congress: Before reading my printed report I want to
say that three Societies have sent in remittances to pay their annual
dues, and I want that to go in the official report. Montana has sent in
its check, Arizona has sent in its check, Washington State sent a part of
the annual dues, and I wrote them for the rest of the money and they
have since sent in an additional check, which will also go in the official
report.
Through the misdirection of a letter from the Tennessee Society a
check that should have reached me on the 7th instant was sent to the
Smithsonian Institution directed to me. That is not my official place
for receiving checks. It is in the city of Brooklyn, but some one at the
Smithsonian very kindly sent it to Air. Lanier's brother, and after a
few days our Secretary General received it and he handed it to me on
the train on Saturday last.
Arkansas should have, therefore, been in the printed report, but as
that report is already typed it is impossible to put it in, but they have
paid their annual dues.
There is an impression among some State Societies that if their mem-
bers pay their State dues they are not required to pay the National
dues. That is not in accordance with the By-Laws of the National
Society. If they will read Article 10, Section 4, they will notice that all
members on the roll, whether they pay their State dues or not, are
liable for that per capita tax and that you should pay the tax to the
Treasurer General. I have had occasion every year that I have been
Treasurer General to correct this wrong impression in the minds of the
State Treasurers, and I want to repeat it here, because it isn't fair to
the National Society to retain any amount that is honorably due it, and
those amounts are really due the National Society.
Air. President General and Compatriots, I have the honor to submit

REPORT ON THE PERMANENT FUND.
Office of Treasurer Generai,, iiii Dean Street,
Brooklyn, N. Y., May 12, 1920.
President General and Compatriots:
The Treasurer General has the honor to submit the following report
on the Permanent Fund :
On May 14, 1919, the National Society held in securities $13,500 at
par value. There has been no purchase of any kind during the fiscal
year just closed. However, additions in cash have been made to the
fund from rebates received from J. E. Caldwell & Co. and from Annin
& Co., aggregating $361.62; so that at the present time there is a total
of $971.20 remaining uninvested.
The Treasurer General suggests that the Committee on Investment
of Permanent Fund purchase a $1,000 United States Government Bond
at the present favorable price.
Respect fully submitted,
John If. Burroughs,
Treasurer General.
The Chairman : This report will take the usual course. v

to my family. Mrs. Williams and I had anticipated a great deal of
pleasure in giving a reception to the delegates to this Congress, but it
happens very unfortunately that her mother died suddenly. They were
Dr. Williams and I had an understanding that when he shook his
fist at me it meant that he wanted to make an announcement. I have
seen the brandished hand. (Laughter.) Dr. Williams will come for-
ward and make his announcement.
Dr. Wir.UAMS: Mr. President General, that's the first timidity I have
ever seen on the part of our President General. I ask the privilege
of making this announcement because it is of a great deal of importance
to my family. Mrs. Williams and I had anticipated a great deal of

very intimate and she was deeply attached to her mother, and she
didn't feel that she could even join in the reception. Therefore, I- am
giving it personally at the Golf Club, as you have learned from the
cards that you have received when you registered.
Xow, J want to say in addition to that, that Mrs. Williams will be
very glad to see you all at our house if you choose to come there from
the Golf Club. We are about two blocks away. All the ladies and all
the delegates to the Congress, if you would be good enough to pass that
word along to any one not here, she will be delighted to see any and
all of you. The ladies, 1 think, may be interested in the garden, or the
promise of a garden, and I will try to fix up some sort of a nosegay
for the men. (Applause and laughter.)
At the reception Mrs. Wickham has kindly consented to receive. Mrs.
Wickham is the wife of Harris W. Wickham, former President of the
State vSociety, and very interesting herself as well as because she is
the wife of Mr. Wickham.
When von come out to the Golf Club you will see at tin- left hand
oad. It doesn't look very promising, but it is well to

on Prospect Avenue, and you will know it by a flag over the doorway.
We will both be delighted to see you all. (Applause.)

eral, George Carpenter Arnold of Rhode Island.

as follows
REPORT OF THE HISTORIAN GENERAL.
Mr. President General and Compatriots of the Thirty-first Annual Con-
gress of the Soeiely of the Sons of the American Revolution,
Greeting:
The course of a historic pilgrimage has brought us into the beautiful
city of the ''Charter Oak" find Capital of Nutmegdom, the name Hart-
ford being borrowed from the township of Hertford, on the river Lea
in Hertfordshire, England.
For a century or more Hartford has been a great literary center;
authors, artists, and publishers have ever found it a fruitful field for
the development of brains and enterprise.
The famous Hartford wits ami the older portion of the city has its
120 SUNS 01' TIII.C AMERICAN INVOLUTION.
precious associations with John Trmnhull, the e])ic of the Revolution;
Harlow, Dwight, Hopkins, Bnainard, Alsop, Goodrich, Noah Webster,
as well as with the more recent authors.
At the corner of Grove and Main streets a business structure dis-
places the two-storied brick house where John Greenleaf Whittier lived
when he published his first volume of verse and edited the New England
Review in a building which then stood a little above the old State
I louse.
Mrs. Harriet Ueccher Stowe, most famous of American women and
author of the most widely-read tale of modern times, passed her de-
clining years here.
At the end of Fannington Avenue on a little eminence we find the
residence of the late Samuel L,. Clemens (Mark Twain), author of
"Huckleberry Finn," "A Connecticut Yankee," etc. The house is a
curious hit of architecture and in this retreat among the tree tops much
of his literary work was done.
The first townsmen (selectmen) of Hartford of whom there is any
record were John Talcott, Samuel Wakeman, and William YVadsworth,
in 1638. Among the first acts of the proprietors was the setting apart
of a square for the meeting house, the center of the colonial town, the
present site of City Hall Square, formerly where the Connecticut State-
House stood.
Oil the east side stood the little meeting house before which in the
open air the freedom of the colony adopted the first written constitu-
tion of 1639. City Hall Square was the rendezvous of the Connecticut
soldiers for the King Philip War; and it was here (1687) Sir Edmund
Andros, when as Governor of New England under James II appeared
and demanded the surrender of the charter of the colony that Governor
John Winthrop had secured from Charles I I in 1662, an instrument
based upon the colonial constitution of [639 and of great value to the
young colony.
Andros, accompanied by more than 60 regular troops, declared the
government under the charter dissolved. The colonial governor pro-
tested against his authority, the conference was prolonged until dark,
and after some delay the charter was brought in and laid on the table
where the assemhly was sitting. The lights were instantly extinguished
and Capt. Joseph Wadsworth, of Hartford, in the most silent and
secret manner, carried off the charter and secreted it in a hollow tree
fronting the house of lion. Samuel Wyllys, then one of the magistrates
of the colony.
There was no disorder, candles were relighted, hut the charter was
gone. The large oak tree was destroyed by a furious storm in the fall
of 1856 and measured 21 feet in circumference. A careful computation
made by Prof. John Brocklesby, while the tree was prostrate, fixed the
age at a little less than 1,000 years. From its wood thousands of small
articles were made, including "nutmegs," and larger productions were
not uncommon; among the latter may he mentioned the chair of the
presiding officer of the Connecticut Senate, designed by a son of
Governor A. 1 1. 1 Lolley.
A small tablet marks the spot where the old oak stood and the
colonial charter itself may he seen in the Wadsworth Athenauim, on
Main Street, which occupies the site of the Col. Jeremiah Wadsworth
Mansion, where Washington and Rochainheau had their fust conference
in September, 1780.
While the colonies were recovering from the effects of previous wars,
the British Go\ erntuent was preparing the oppressive and annoying
Stamp Act, and when the news of the repeal of the Stamp Act 'was
received at Hartford, the general court then in session appointed a day ^
of general rejoicing.
PKOCKKIHNGS 01? [IARTFORD CONGRESS. I -' I
But England's policy was not changed, and in September, 1774, a con-
vention was held in Hartford; many strong resolutions were adopted
in favor of the Non-eonsumption Agreement being entered into by the
eonsumers of British goods. Connecticut was ready, waiting; and
when the farmers at Lexington "fired the shot heard around the world"
Connecticut sprang to arms. Ten companies were immediately put in
motion for the scene of action, and, like General Putnam, who went
from the plough to the saddle, gave their best to the patriotic cause.
Count Rochambeau landed in Newport, Rhode Island, September,
17N0, and proceeded at once to llartford, where he met General Wash-
ington and other American officers and where plans were made for
the surprise of Fort Ticonderoga. The result of the attack is well
known, but the initiative taken by Connecticut has not always been
recognized. However, the same spirit animated all (the spirit of
Washington), the only contest being which colony could render the
most service for the common cause; and so 137 years ago, on April 30,
1783, the Treaty of Paris was signed and llartford celebrated with
great pomp the winning of our national independence.
Ever since we banished from the free Union of States the English
pounds, shillings, pence, and farthings, Great Britain has had her
trials. The destruction of the British fleet on Lake Champlain demon-
strated thoroughly ami decisively that England could not treat the
Treaty of Paris (l7&3) as a "scrap of paper" in the extension of her
empire.
"Britannia rules the waves" (as sung).
''When America waives the rule" (as is).
Paramount no longer as a unit, her faith completely shaken in her
invincible superiority, well has she sought the League of Nations as a
haven, to be protected from those no more grasping than herself.
But there will be no superstate in the Government of the United
States, and we shall do our duty and protect the sovereignty of our
country when we eliminate, as we will, Article X and thus protect and
preserve the great principles for which our ancestors devoted their
ves.
Numismatics.
The first settlers of New England found great difficulty in obtaining
the means for trade and barter, for, having brought little money to this
country, their resources soon became exhausted. In their extremity
they were obliged to adopt the Indian money of the period, wdtich was
made from various shells and styled sewan, or wampum.
The general court of Massachusetts, November 15, 1637, ordered that
wampum should pass for six a penny for any sum under I2<1. Tn 1630,
owing to the failure of the crops, especially corn (and corn was con-
sidered as currency), wampum was enhanced in value, and in October,
i(>!<>. it was ordered in the same general court that while wampum
shall pass at 4 a penny and blue at _' a penny.
The first copper coins struck within the borders of Connecticut were
the fligley or Granby cents and were dated 1737, 1 73K, 1730. They were
never officially authorized, but John Tliglev, the Coppermine owner and
native of Granby, was never molested. The Granby mines were never
profitable, but were worked down to the time of the American Revolu-
tion, when they were taken over by the general court of Connecticut as
a colonial jail and public work-house.
The first regular authorized coinage of Connecticut was granted by
the assembly at New Haven, October, [785. The act reads as follows: "
"Resolved by this assembly. That Samuel Bishop. Joseph [lonkins
Samuel Tfillhouse, and John Goodrich have liberty, and liberty and an-
122
SONS Ol' THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION,
thority is hereby granted to then: to establish a mint for coining and
manufacturing coppers, not to exceed the amount of ten thousand
pounds of lawful money, in value of the standard of British halfpence,
and to weigh six pennyweight/' etc.
Samuel Broome and Jeremiah Piatt secured the contract, and two
mint houses were built, one situated in what is now known as Morris
Cove and the other near the mouth of the Westville River, in Westville.
Abel Buell of New Haven was the principal die-sinker, and prepared
dies also for Vermont, New York, and some of the New Jersey
colonials.
The authorized coinage of Connecticut cents were dated, 1785-1788,
inclusive. The obverse having a bust, not unlike Washington, with the
legend "Auctori Connec" (by the authority of Connecticut), and .the
reversed side "Inde Et Lib" (Independence and Liberty), with the ideal
head of Liberty and date.
[ have taken from my collection several varieties of these colonials
and will be glad to exhibit, after the session, to any of the compatriots
who would like to see them.
Respectfully submitted, George Carpenter Arnold,
Historian General.

The Chairman: This report will take the usual course.
With the permission of the Congress we will receive the report of the
Memorial Committee, of which past President General Thruston is
President, lie is not present. Will any other 'member of the com-
mittee present it?
Dr. Williams: 1 move you that the privilege of the floor be extended
to Mrs'. Clark to present that report and that she be welcomed with
great enthusiasm.
The motion was seconded and adopted.
Mrs. Clark: Mr. President General, Compatriots, and friends, the
first sentence of this report was inserted by Mr. Thruston himself.
REPORT OF
THE COMMITTEE ON
SIGNERS."
MEMORIAL TO THE
Before leaving this winter for a trip through the Orient your chair-
man of this committee was fortunate in securing the services of Mrs.
A. Howard Clark, wife of our late Secretary General, to continue the
work of this committee — a work in which her husband bad been deeply
interested and upon whose knowledge of historical subjects the com-
mittee greatly relied to finish up its work. The Society of "Descendants

General, our committee had agreed to collaborate, and with whom a
number of meetings had been held and plans, for each Society's part'
of the volume mapped out, had stopped all work on the memorial volume
during the recent war. They have, however, lately renewed their in-
terest and we learn through the Secretary of the Joint Committee, Air.
Charles Thornton Adams of New York, that the work on their portion
of the volume is now progressing finely, The part assigned to our
committee at one of the joint meetings held in New York in 1916 in-
cludes the biographies, with photographs, location, and inscriptions of
the graves and their wills, when possible, of the Signers from New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, and
Georgia. We have the Signers from Maryland completed and the prin-
cipal facts for the biographies of the remaining Signers have been
secured. The desire of the joint committee to publish only that in-
formation concerning the Signers that has not heretofore been printed
has necessarily delayed the work and may prove an impossibility.
While much of the general information concerning the signing as
well as the life history of the men may have been duplicated by us be-
fore knowing that the other Society was to continue their portion of
I he work, it does us no harm to have secured this information, so
directly in line with the objects of our Society and may be brought out
by us, if desired, in a less condensed form at some future time. In
fact, the other committee has suggested, during the past week, the
idea of publishing a smaller book with a. portion of the information
already on hand, and which would relate especially to the burial places
of the Signers.
In studying the life histories of these men, who took the responsibility
of severing connections with the mother country, it was interesting to
note their standing from an educational point of view. Of the fifty-six
Signers, thirty were college graduates and eight educated by private
tutors. Seven of these were graduates of Harvard College, four of
Yah-, three of Princeton, eight of the great universities of Europe,
and the remainder from universities of Pennsylvania and the William
and Mary College of Virginia. Three were self-educated. Of the pro-
fessions, twenty-seven were lawyers, while Josiah Bartlett, Lyman Mall,
Benjamin Rush, Matthew Thornton, and Oliver Wolcott were graduates
in medicine; nine were merchants. Franklin was an editor and printer,
one a clergyman, Charles Carroll a gentleman of leisure, and the re-
mainder, fourteen, were large agriculturalists. A number of the lawyers
had reached the highest rank in their professions, being judges, even
of the supreme court of their States, and several were afterwards
governors. Thus history shows that the affairs of the colonies at that
time were in the hands of men of the highest intelligence and standing
in their respective communities.
There has been printed in our BULLETIN of June, J915, a brief but
complete account not only of the proceedings which led to the adoption
of the Declaration of Independence on July 2, 1776, but a continuous
sketch of its history which was prepared by the late Secretary General,
A. Howard Clark. In reading the history of this remarkable document
yon cannot but feel the anxiety of the members of the committee and
others in charge that it might not meet with the general approval of
the Congress. And finally., on July 19, Congress ordered the Decla-
ration passed on the 4th to be engrossed on parchment and when
engrossed to be signed by every member of the Congress. This
was to ensure continued support of all the members and was the out-
growth i^i the reply of Benjamin Franklin- to Hancock: "Yes, we must,
indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang sepa-

You were told in the 1915 Buu.ktjn the story of the presentation of
the Declaration on the 2nd of July, 1776. The original copy, it is be-
lieved, went from Secretary Thomson on July 4 to the official printer,
John Dunlap. The next day the Secretary wafcred a copy of the first
broadside print in a blank space left for it. The copy from which
the facsimile was made, is in the rough journal in the Manuscript
Division of the Congressional Library at Washington.
Copies of the broadside were sent out by order of a resolution of the
Congress to the ''several assemblies, conventions, or councils of safety
and to the several commanding officers of the Continental Troops,"
and to be "proclaimed in each of the United States and at the head
of the army" and sent to several counties (Bucks, Chester, Lancaster,
Northampton, and Berks) requesting that it be published at the places
where delegates were to be elected. It is probable that a copy of this
was received by Washington, as he ordered it on July 9 to be announced
at the head of the Continental regiments. Copies were also printed in
Boston and Salem, Mass., and distributed in New England.
The vote on the "Declaration" of July 2 was not, as you have been
shown, unanimous. The vote stood at first 9 out of the 13 Colonies
who voted for it. On the final vote it remained 10 to 3. Cresar Rodney,
of Delaware, after riding all night, arrived the next day and cast his
vote in favor, thus putting Delaware on record as favoring it. Three
members from Pennsylvania then changed, placing that State in favor.
On July 9 the New York delegates were authorized by their State to
sign, thus making the vote, by States, unanimous. It was reported to
Congress on July 15. On July 19 Congress ordered the Declaration,
which was "passed on the 4th, fairly engrossed on parchment with the
title and style of "The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United
States of America." This shows that the word "unanimous" applies
to the thirteen States and not to individual Signers. On August 2. the
Declaration of Independence being engrossed and compared, was signed
by the members present.
The house in which the Declaration was written stood on the south
side of Market Street, Philadelphia, probably between Seventh and
Eighth streets. Tt was the home of a newly married couple — Mr. and
Mrs. Oratz — and with whom Jefferson was then stopping.
Had Richard Henry Lee, mover of the original motion respecting the
independence of the colonies, not been called home on account of the
illness of his wife, it is probable that he would have been appointed
to prepare the Declaration. But this document, which has been the
guide of the colonies not only through the terrible Revolution but
through many great and serious questions which have threatened our
country at various times up to the present, could scarcely, in the opinion
of many -of our best thinkers and writers, have been improved upon,
either in its sentiment or its phraseology.
With the exception of Mr. Lynch, who was drowned in his thirtieth
year, the Signers all lived to a good old age, three being over 90 years,
ten over 80, eleven over 60. etc. We who are now living in this
land of the free which they established for us can look back with pride
upon the memory of those men who placed their signatures to this
immortal "Declaration," the last; clause of which alone can give us
some idea of the seriousness of the occasion and the courage required
for Lhe died: "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm
reliance on lhe protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to
each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor."

The Chairman : This report will take the usual course.
I want to make some very important announcements, and if they are
observed it will expedite the business of the Congress. The Trustees
will meet at the platform at 2 o'clock sharp, and so will the Com-
mittee on Resolutions and the Committee on Ofticial Reports. The
Executive Committee will also meet at the same time, 2 o'clock sharp.
With the permission of the Congress we will now take a recess until
2:15, and if you will come in promptly we will get through the business
of the day in time to accept Dr. Williams' invitation for the Golf
Club.
Adjourned.
MONDAY AFTERNOON'S SESSION, HELD IN THE CEN-
TER CHURCH HOUSE, HARTFORD, CONN.,
MAY 17, 1920, AT 2:15 O'CLOCK.
President General Jenks in the Chair.
The Cuaikman : Is Dr. McCollester, Chaplain General, present?
(Affirmative response.) I )r. McCollester, have you anything to offer
for the good of the order?
REPORT OF THE. CHAPLAIN GENERAL.
Dr. McCoi.i.KSTrvR : Mr. President General and Compatriots: The
President General asks, lias the Chaplain anything to offer for the
good of the order? Rather a strange and perplexing question to put
to a dominie, and yet 1 am reminded that parsons have had important
places in the history of the American Revolution. They weren't allowed
to fight in the old days. I often think of Emerson's grandfather who
preached that sermon the morning before the battle of Concord— the
Sunday morning before— and how, during the battle, he was, T believe,
as the story goes, in the upper room of the old manse looking out: of
the window watching the fight go on, when he wanted to be there.
Times have changed. 1 think the parson of the present time would
be allowed to be there, but it was through no lack of interest on the
part of Emerson that he was not there. It was the custom of the
times. Then down through all the history of American patriotism the
minister and the church and the educator have beetl important factors
leading the ideals of the people, and it seems to me that there never
was a time when there was more demand for a message from the de-
partments of education and departments of religion than at the present
moment. It seems to me that the Sons of the American Revolution
have never had more responsibilities placed upon them than at this
present moment.
We speak' of Koston and patriotism. 1 was interested in the remark
of Compatriot Bailey from Kansas, who, by the way, comes from a
126
SON-S Ol- Till$ AMERICAN INVOLUTION
home that is just across the street from where my home is in Carmel,
New Hampshire. Distances bring us close together, hut he said in
Kansas there are more Americans there, that the English language is
spoken there — what do you think of Boston? J came back to Boston
after a long period of absence, and to me it's a line city. Lf you go
into the subway you will have to look long before you will see a man
that you can say is of the old generation and of the old stub oi the
America of long ago. There's where we have got some of our problems.
When the battles of the Revolution were fought they were fought
between the English-speaking people on the one side, who wanted to
establish a government here, and the English-speaking people on the
other side who belonged over across the sea — they are both brothers
today. Well, there are in Boston the types of every race under the
sun, speaking every language that is known everywhere, and the great
problem before the Sons of the American Revolution is the problem
of Americanizing, and it [Isn't merely the question of speaking the
English language, but it is also bringing home to them the English or
the American ideals, and that's the problem that is before us as Sons of
the AiTrerican Revolution, and it's a tremendous problem in these
mixed times.
A leading educator recently said that the great problem before
America is the development of leaders. We are developing working-
men, we are developing along the line of industry, but what we need
especially are leaders along the line of idealism, and particularly must
we emphasize that we, sons of the fathers, for there is a special need
for emphasizing the ideals of Americanism, not simply speaking Eng-
lish, not simply lighting when we are called forth to war, but standing
for those principles and those ideals of education and of religion, of
justice and of equality and of right, and T tell you, compatriots, that
we are met here not simply that we ma)' elect officers, not simply to
have these social associations one with the other, which are exceedingly
delightful, but we are met here to stimulate one another so that when
we go back to the places where we are working we will go back with
renewed vigor to help to establish those ideals for which our fathers
and mothers lived and died.
May I pause and thank you, compatriots, for the honor which you
have given me in making me the Chaplain General during the past two
years. I appreciate the honor. I have tried so far as lay within my
power to do what I could to carry on the interests of our calling, and
among the most interesting incidents that have come to me has been that
of pinning the medals upon the breasts of our sons who have returned.
1 had a son over the. seas and 1 had a (laughter in a Southern hospital
during the war time. My interest was with college and with church
along the educational and the patriotic lines. We did all of us what we
eoidd, but it seems to me in the pinning of these medals upon the
breasts of the sons of the compatriots we are looking forward to the
future, and every medal that is pinned upon them is suggestive that^i
J'KOCKKIH NGS 01? LIAUTFQKD CONGRESS. 1 -'/
they have thereby taken upon themselves the responsibility which you
and I soon are to lay down — not only to fight when war is declared, but
to serve when peace comes. Nay, may I say I am not so sure that I
like the word peace. I rather feel that we should shy the word citizen-
ship, and citizenship will carry with it the idea of war when Avar is
necessary. It will carry with it not simply a peace which is simply
quietude, but it will carry with it a sense of all the responsibilities that
a young man holds to his community, to his State, to his nation, and to
the world at large. We must urge upon our sons as we put upon their
breasts these medals as an expression of our confidence, that the future
rests with them.
So that's the word, Air. President, that J have to say today — the word
of the parson. It is simply this: we are not any of us here as lawyers,
merchants, physicians, or parsons; we are all American citizens, sons of
our fathers, devoting ourselves to the ideals for which they lived and
died and for which we bind ourselves also to live and die. (Applause.)
The Chairman : The next order of business is the presentation of
the reports of the several committees on organization. There are five
of these committees, the chairmen being the respective Vice-Presidents
General. 1 recognize Colonel 1 Ionic, Vice-President General of Ohio,
and T will ask him to take the gavel and introduce the reports from the
Vice-Presidents General. (Applause.)
Colonel ITotik assumes the Chair.
The Chairman: Mr. President General and Compatriots: The first
on the list is that from Compatriot George I\ Burgess, of Connecticut,
the Vice-President of the New England District.
Vice-President General BtiRCKss: I purposely made my report brief
on account of the many tilings being presented to the Congress, .so that
we should not have anything superfluous.
The report is as follows:
REPORT OK VICE-PRESIDENT GENERAL BURGESS.
New Haven, Conn., May 15, 1920.
To the Congress:
Your Vice-President General for the New England district reports
that the year has been one of distinct progress and realization, stimu-
lated by the visits of the President General. Each state has enjoyed his
presence and has been encouraged to carry on the ideals for a better
national life because he has shown that rare quality of vision which is
so essential if this nation is to assimilate and make productive the
resources given it.
T cannot say that it is altogether due to the work of the patriotic
societies, but it must be due in a measure to their influence that our
Chambers of Commerce are now including in their activities a Com-
mit tee on Americanism. That is certainly most encouraging, as showing
a quickened sense of responsibility for the future of the republic.
The distribution of the service medals was a practical recognition
of the contribution of our membership to the great war and will serve
as a reminder to many that, as a people, we are thoughtful of the
splendid devotion they showed to civilization in her hour of need.
I 28 SONS OL< TIIIv AMERICAN RKVOUUTION.
( hi page [3 of the March BuiXETiN is a brief record of a dinner
given by General David Humphreys Branch, No. i, of the Connecticut
Society, on Lincoln's birthday, in which your Vice-President General
participated by invitation. The gathering was notable in that it was for
a group of the most recent newly made citizens and in the heartiness
of their response which showed their eagerness to become of service
to their new country.
There should he noted the observance in New Haven, on the Sunday
nearest to ''Bunker Mill Day," of decoration of the graves' of 286
soldiers and patriots of the American Revolution. This custom, of
many years 1 standing, was particularly interesting last June in the
presence of representatives of four generations of the descendants of
Eli Dcnslow, at whose graves the exercises were held.
[ have noted these occasions in the hope that other branches of the
Society may find in them an incentive to such activities.
On two visits of the President General 1 have been prevented, by
illness or imperative engagements, from being with him, but it has been
a pleasure to participate several times in my own and nearby States in
the delightful receptions given him and receive the inspiration of his
patriotic messages.
Because he has made so complete a visit and survey in the New
England Slates it has not seemed necessary for me to try to supplement
his work, but from all parts of the district I learn of the invaluable
results of his most complete relation.
It has been my privilege to speak' a number of times carrying the
message of our organization, and 1 am confident that my successor will
find that the spirit of the forefathers is with us in present everyday
constructive service to the country we love.
Respectfully submitted,
Gkorge l\ Bui&'kss,
/ ' 'ice- P 'resident General.
The Chairman': 1 know that we have all listened with interest to the
paper o\' Compatriot Burgess. The territory that he has is due that is
inspiring, and we can see that the work' has been that to him. I would
now introduce Compatriot Thomas \V. Williams, of the Middle Slates.
Vfce-Pfesitlent General Williams then read the report, which is as
follows:
REPORT Ob VICE-PRESIDENT 'GENERAL, WIUJAMS.
Mr. President General tind Compatriots;
When our esteemed President General assumed the duties of his
office in May of last year he mapped out very carefully and concisely
the duties of the offices of his several Vice-Presidents General and
appointed each one of them as chairman of the Committee on Organi-
zation for their respective districts. To your humble servant was as-
signed the district comprising the States of New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
It is needless for me to dilate hen- at Ihis time on the activities of our
worthy President General during the past year and how comparatively
easy he has made the work for his Vice-Presidents General, for really
our President General has done the work and has made possible won-
derful results in the States above referred to and located in my im-
mediate district, so that briefly I shall be glad at this time to touch uponv
L'ROCICKMNCS ol* HARTFORD CONCKKSS. I2ty
the activities of these States along the line of patrioic work with which
I have been in more or less contact during the past year.
It would seem as though, compared with the activities of our Presi-
dent General, that my own work, J regret to say, owing to chaotic
business conditions, has been infiuiteshnally small.
The work of Americanization in the several States above referred to
has been doubtless the most important activity engaged in during the
crucial period of reconstruction. The Sons of the American Revolution
having been pioneers in this held have been constantly enlarging their
scope during the past year and our Compatriots everywhere have en-
listed in every effort being made in their communities to educate the
alien in the fundamentals of Americanism. This held is limitless and
every individual member of our great Society has found a place in it.
There is no doubt hut that our increase of membership during the past
year has been accounted for to a great extent by the work that they
have prosecuted along the lines of Americanism. The country is at
the full tide of patriotic interest. In the words of our President
General, "Americanism is being studied as never before and this studs-
is creating a nation-wide desire to unite with patriotic societies."
The Empire State Society during the past year in its various chapters
has accomplished great results. 1 have kept in as close touch with
that Society as possible and must congratulate it upon the splendid
work that it has accomplished during the past year. Time will not per-
mit me to dilate on (he activities of the Empire State Society whose
chapters are so constantly kept active. President Remington has re-
ported their Americani/at ion work to be in fine shape and is constantly
co-operating with the National Americanization Committee.
The New Jersey Society, faithful to its traditions, has shown wonder-
ful results in its various chapters during the past year. The true spirit
of .Americanism has everywhere prevailed throughout that State
Society. President Vail of the New jersey State Society, who has just
retired from that office, has been very active and faithful in the dis-
charge of his duties during the past year, and our National Bin, i.i',Ti N
has recorded from time to time during that period (he various activities
of the New Jersey State Society. The Committee on Americanization
of the New jersey State Society, Mr. Harry K. Brewer, chairman, has
been very active during the past year and much good has been ac-
complished by bis very able committee. The large increase in member-
ship shown by the New Jersey Society will again entitle her to the
traveling banner. Several new chapters have been formed and others are
in course of formation. Rev. Dr. Allen, the newly-elected President,
has mapped out a great campaign for the coming year.
The Pennsylvania State Society, through its able President, Hon.
Eugene C. I'.onniwell, has accomplished great results, and the very able
pamphlet entitled ".American Citizenship," issued by Compatriot Bonni-
well, deserves to be preserved in the archives of the National Society.
Pennsylvania has been very active inched along the line of Americani-
zation during the past year.
The Delaware State Society, as a State Society, has done compara-
tively little during the past year as a Society, but some of the indi-
vidual members have been co-operating with other organizations in
.Americanization work, and which has been taken lip in the critv of
Wilmington by their service citizens and splendid work has been done
and, as large numbers of their Society members are members of the
Service Citizens organization there was no seeming need to duplicate'
the work.
The District of Columbia Society has been active along the line of
Americanization, and through their meetings and personal contact
130 SONS 01- THE AMlvKlCAN RKVOT.UTrON.
their membership has stood strongly for the diffusion of American
principles and loyalty to our Constitution, iir which some of their mem-
bers have taken a special interest. The Society distributed one hundred
medals in recognition of the service of members and sons of members
in the late war.
The Maryland Society, under the very able management of Hon.
James II. Preston, has had a busy year, and their activities have been
largely engaged in the propaganda of Americanism, the distribution of
the America's Creed through patriotic societies in public schools, and
also in the increase of membership of the Maryland Society, which has
been quite apparent. The Maryland Society reports Inning bail the
most flourishing year in its history and is now making plans for a wide-
spread organization, with the expectation of having a chapter in each
county of the State.
The Virginia Society has been exceedingly active during the past
year and has made great efforts to increase ils membership and with
very flattering results. They have added forty- four new members to
their Society charing the past year and many letters of invitation have
been issued by this State Society for those eligible to become members.
Their form of invitation should be patterned after by other State
Societies. Americanism has been the keynote of the endeavors of the
Virginia Society during the past year.
The States of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida,
in my immediate district, have not shown the activities of some of the
other States, but are still alive and good work can be expected from
them in the near future.
T want to take occasion to express at this time my high appreciation
of the cordial co-operation given me by the officers of the several State
Societies oyer which T have attempted in a feeble manner to preside
during the past year, and to express my hope that the splendid work that
they have all done during this past year may continue during the years
to come in largely increased membership and in working out the many
problems that confront this country today.
T. W. Williams,
Vice-President General.
The Chairman: [ take great pleasure now in introducing Vice-Presi-
dent General Linn Paine, of the Mississippi Valley, West District.
(Applause.) As distances go, Mr. Paine has great territory, and we all
know what his interests have been in the last year.
Mr. Paine then read the report, which is as follows:
REPORT OF VICE-PRESIDENT GENERAL PAINE.
In reporting the activities of the Mississippi Valley, West District, I
beg to acknowledge an indebtedness to the officers of the eleven State
.Societies that have been assigned to my care. Most cheerfully have
these compatriots assisted me with information. They have contributed
valuable suggestions for the upbuilding of our Society in the States
beyond the Mississippi,
We who dwell in that land brought into the United States of America
by the Louisiana Purchase find ourselves at a distance from the graves
of our Revolutionary ancestors. Unlike our eastern compatriots, we
have been denied the privilege of reviewing the scenes that remind
one of the early struggles for American independence. That portion of
our country acquired by an all-seeing Providence has now become the
very center of our national progress, It is there that the heart of the-
J'ROCKKDINGS ()!• HARTFORD CONGRESS. I3I
American people is beating with devotion to the principles of American
freedom upheld by our heroic forefathers and cherished by all true
Americans as our greatest national heritage.
It has hot been my good fortune to visit each of the State Societies
during the past year. The remarkable achievement of our President
General, Chancellor L. jenks, who has visited most of the State
Societies in person has eclipsed all of the services I have been able to
render.
I am truly grateful for his great interest and find that all of his
efforts are having the desired effect. As the Secretary General's re-
port will furnish statistics of the State Societies it will not be necessary
for me to present them here.
Reluctantly 1 omit mention of many services and courtesies extended
by officers and compatriots, but I cannot refrain from acknowledging
the support I have had from —
President C. Robert Churchill, of the Louisiana Society.
President Parley Sheldon, of the Iowa Society.
President Clifford L. Hilton, of the Minnesota Society.
President Frank D. Hall, of the North Dakota Society.
President W. L. Baker, of the South Dakota Society.
President Benjamin F. Bailey, of the Nebraska Society.
President Joseph B. Thoburn, of the Oklahoma Society.
President C. P. Dorchester, of the Texas Society.
President George W. Clark, of the Arkansas Society.
President John M. Meade, of the Kansas Society, and
President W. D. Vandiver, of the Missouri Society.
I am proud to have been associated with such representative patriots
who, through their State organizations, are upholding the highest stand-
ard of American citizenship.
The assembling of district organizations should be continued and
encouraged. My compatriots in St. Louis hope that its convenient
location may be considered favorably for such meetings.
There are thousands of loyal Americans residing beyond the Missis-
sippi River who arc eligible for membership and would welcome an
opportunity to join this Society in its great purpose of upholding the
highest form of American citizenship. Let us enroll them for active
service, and by unceasing activity assure the world that the people of
the United States will safeguard now and forever the principles of
American independence and freedom.
(The President General resumes the Chair.)
The Chairman: Before Vice-President Paine leaves the stand I
desire to transfer to him the gavel, asking him to present one who has
been of great service to this Society for many years, Vice-President
General Moulton Honk, of Ohio.
Mr. Pai.viv: Compatriots: T take pleasure. in presenting to you Vice-
President General Houk, of the Mississippi Valley, F,ast District;
Vice-President General Houk read his report, which is as follows:

Just now the one ever present, all absorbing thought, however, with us
is the condition confronting us as to a continuance of our heretofore
form' of constitutional government — one under which in a century and
a quarter we grew into a powerful, respected, wealthy nation— one with
a freedom of action, thought, speech, and religion unknown to other
nations — the American ideal. The activities of our Society the past
year have been along this line of thought. It has been my privilege to
have visited the membership, by imitation, in the States of Wisconsin.
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky during this year and to them I
am under obligations for many courtesies. Such visits incline to pro-
voke serious thoughts. One in particular is as to the class of men
who constitute member-ship. It, in all cases, includes these who "Make
the wheels go round," and it suggests the wonderful power that Could
he exercised for good by their combined effort and activity.
This co-operation and activity in some way seems lacking unless they
are officered by daring active forces patriotically and unselfishly in-
spired.. It is, however, noticeable that the membership arc picking live
men from among them for leaders and it may safely be said that the
sometimes heretofore officers who accepted their trusts as "Honorary''
compliments are giving way to another class who, while not particularly
better members, are those who will and do see the wast field for the
Societies' effort and intend such activities shall mark' their individual
administrations.
One .State Society this year noticeably has "full house" meetings.
The Board of Management gather regularly each month. The new
members are installed with a formal program which includes a pledge
of allegiance. This is both impressive and inspiring not only to the
initiate but to the audience also, and is as follows, x\z :
INSTALLATION OF'NJvW M !•'. \I Hl'.k'S.
President: "The following gentlemen have been elected members since
the last installation." (Reads their names.) "They will now come for-
ward."
The president will then say :
"Gentlemen, the interests, objects, and principles of this Society are
consecrated to our united care. We are pledged to protect the institu-
tions of our sovereign nation; to guard the Hag; to foster true, [00 per
cent Americanism; to resist to the utmost of our strength every act or
sentiment unfriendly to our country. 1 )oes each one of you so pledge
yourself ?"
In unison each says: "I do. As my ancestors offered their lives and
fortunes that this sovereign nation of United States might he born and
prosper, I, in their names, pledge myself to defend it against enemies;
to protect its flag from danger and calumny; to stand a.t all times watch-
ful of its safety; to be quick to attack every sentiment or alien propa-
ganda that threatens it; to foster love of country and true 100 per cent
Americanism. 1 serve hut one God, one flag, one country."
President (to older members) : "Your properly constituted authorities
have, after due care, recommended and elected these gentlemen; and
thev are now formally accepted as members of this Society."
()hk-r members: "Compatriots, we give you hearty welcome."
(The cusroCij an f n K . colors will then return with the flag. After he
has done this, the^dcr members will sin- the first verse of "America"
during which the new> .in^jL.j roinijaUaots will retinm to their seats.)
Certain Societies are supplving to eighth-grade schools, through co-
operation will, school hoards, paster leaflets for their readers, which
leaflets contain upon frontal page the Americans creed, and upon the
L»R0CICKJ>INGS OF HARTFORD CONGWCSS.

bade thereof the history of same, and in such manner one Society
has distributed over 30,000, another is distributing a supply of 20,000,
and a third field has been so covered. It is a work IO0 per cent
American. One Society has moved toward obtaining immigration laws
more in consonance with the necessities of the time. It has invited
and obtained the co-operation of kindred patriotic societies. Such law
has in view the placing of burden of proof that he is a desirable
acquisition upon the immigrant rather than that he is not such upon
the Government — places his activities here under observation and re-
port. It does not interfere with present laws affecting the immigrant
otherwise nor tend to keep out those who can amalgamate with us
along American lines.
A chapter once inclined to surrender its charter, instead has now in-
vited the co-operation of the .American Region and expects to rehabilitate
the old home in which an American President was born and to dedicate
such home for patriotic purposes.
A State Society composed largely of Chapters has taken in hand
a program fox, 'formal admission of foreign born who .are to be admitted
here to citizenship. The program is as follows, viz : The class of such
.aliens are seated in the auditorium of the Federal court room-— the
Federal judge in his seat — the clerk of court calls the name of one to
be given his papers. This party (-accompanied by his wife and children
if any) comes to the front and he is handed his papers by the clerk'. At
the same time usually a 1). A. K. pins upon the Coat or dress of each
or all a small American Flag. The class having been individually so
treated, they all then approach the large American flag and. standing
before it. salute. They then read the American creed. After being
again seated, they are addressed "as citizens of the United States" by
the judge, and as to their duties as such. Usually an address of welcome
is then made by a Sou of the .American Revolution. Contrasted with
the old-lime method of simply handing one his papers informally there
is now left an impression that his newlv-found citizenship involves
solemn duties upon his part toward his fellows.
About a year ago Vice-President Henry visited Ohio, then suggesting
that Regents of Chapters of Daughters of the American Revolution
be asked to suggest names of men eligible to our .Society. To each
such the Secretary of the Ohio Society wrote a letter — a two-page
letter — describing the Society and its aims. The success obtained was
to make this Ohio's banner year.
Cash prizes and medals have been awarded for essays on American-
ization, and war medals have been formally awarded our World War
heroes, in some cases by the President General and in others Vice-
President General or the Director General.
A .State Society has inaugurated a move which should be emulated.
It is to invite Presidents of the other State .Societies in the district to
be its guests at its more important meetings. This introduces a
nationalizing effect, a fraternity of feeling, new ideas. While each and
every State Society has its own local conditions, all probably differing,
yet to an interested one such general expressions of thought and
activities are intensely interesting and inspiring.

To the membership I can only add :
I have enjoyed the inspiration of their gatherings, and to the Presi-
dent General, that the officers of this district will forever remember
his genial presence in our every State and the forceful scholarly char-
acter of his talk's. Himself ever optimistic, he has inspired such thought
to all, encouraging us to renewed patriotic thought and endeavor.

(President General Jenks resumed the chair.)
Nir.' Howard J. Coxt; (Massachusetts) : Mention was made this morn-
ing of an Indian chieftain in this State named Sassacus. Now, it seems
to me appropriate to take a moment to nominate myself a "sassy cuss"
in this gathering; but there were two good points brought out. For
instance, the Chaplain General spoke of the lack of lighting parsons.
Now, Peter Joseph Berg, who was pastor of the Episcopal Church
of Williamsburg, Va., according to the old poem in the school books,
gathered a company of ioo men from his own parish, marched at the
head as captain, joined Washington's army, and it is said fired the
bullet that mortally wounded Colonel Ryall of Trenton; and with re-
gard to Mr. L'aine and his distance from the Revolutionary grave,
right in his own burg of St. Louis is buried Mr. Clark of the famous
Lewis and Clark Expedition, a veteran of the Revolution; and in Iowa
there are four graves of Revolutionary soldiers, as was brought out in
an address by a professor of Cornell College to the Boston Blinker
Hill Monument Association. Now, if I've been too sassy in taking a
moment of your time you can keep me after school if you wish.
(Laughter.)
The Chairman: Is there a report from Vice-President General Over-
ton Ellis, of Washington, Vice-President of the Mountain and Pacific
1 )islrict ? ( No response. )
Capt. Rev. Ji'.ssi', l\ Martin (Colorado): Mr. President General, I
belong to that district, but 1 have no authority to speak, but 1 merely
want to make a report for Colorado. 1 can't speak for California.
1 understand they have their delegate here, and the California native
sons are known everywhere, both by their presence and by their speech,
and 1 am sure lie can speak for himself. \ want to call attention, how-
ever, to one thing, as there has been so much emphasis laid today
upon the fact of Americanization. We have a plan out in our State
of Color aJo, of which the President General and the members of the
State Society i<>l ( j n ic when I came East T am a parson, too, and

grant as lie comes in, but for the emigrant already in our midst, and
we have adopted a plan concretely something like this, in the city of
Denver: We have what we call the Opportunity School. I do not
know whether it is being tried generally throughout the country, but
we did a great deal in preparing a number of the emigrants who were
called under the conscript law for intelligent service in the Arm}- during
the war. Since they came back a number of these men were turned
adrift, and not knowing what to do, not having very much preparation
for any particular line of work, under the leadership of very inspiring
teachers these people are being trained in various forms of mechanical
and other honest labor. But the school with it has been to us the
particularly attractive thing. We have been teaching these people the
very basic principles or truths of Americanism and of American
political ideas. So we conceived the idea in the Colorado State Society
of forming a union with the American Legion, with the public schools,
and with as many of the preparatory schools as we could reach, ami
especially with this Opportunity School. Being a member of the
American Legion, it was my privilege to present the cause to a number
of the posts, and we secured the unanimous and enthusiastic endorse-
ment of the whole plan and the appointment of permanent committees
to collaborate with us. Our plan is, briefly, this: We are blending
efforts in the Opportunity School to bring the conception of Ameri-
canization to those people, who are in many instances quite simple-
minded — they'll grow naturally — but bringing it to them in language
that they can understand. So a series of -text-books has been devised,
to be prepared and edited, under the direction of the Colorado Society,
by different members or friends chosen thereby. We have a text-book
of six chapters of two pages each.— one on Washington, one on Lincoln,
and an especially attractive one on American inventions, designed
especially to appeal to the young mechanic. One on the American Con-
stitution is being prepared by the Attorney General of our State, who is
an enthusiastic member, by the way, of the Sons of the American
Revolution, and a fifth brochure on the American pioneers, intended
primarily, of course, to cover those who settled this Atlantic seaboard,
but touching the high lights of the adventurous spirits of the West,
especially Marcus Whitman and his activities, rind others of like force
and power in the far West. They arc putting it in the simplest kind
of language. Each one of these will be prepared and edited, and recast
where necessary, so that the foreigner will have no difficulty whatever
in understanding the meaning that it was intended to convey. Now, we
think we are coming at the matter from a basic point of view. We
want them to know what we have. We want them to see enough of it
through thru teaching tharMhey will love it and fall in line with the
great stream of progress that we have developed in the last century
and a quarter here in America.

because while we are exceedingly modest in the West we arc rather
prond of the idea as it has sprung up. Now, the American Legion is
co-operating with ns entirely in this plan and are willing to support
it as far as possihle. The public schools are going to co-operate with
ns, and a little later, as soon as our text-hooks have been edited and
then printed, they will he taught in the schools and added to the cur-
riculum, So we are sure, so far as American political history is con-
cerned, that there will he no adulteration in anything that comes to
those who take our places.
Dr. Bangs (Massachusetts) : May I have the privilege of the floor
for about two minutes to supplement the report of Vice-President
General Burgess relative to one important work that is being done by
the Massachusetts Society that was not included. This seems to he a
meeting for the interchange of suggestions which . may lead to the
building up of ioo per cent Americanism all over the world. We have
engaged in the Massachusetts Society in a work which tends in that
direction, which is worthy of being brought to your attention. The
Washington and Kranklin medal lias been prepared, and through the
Massachusetts Society is issued to every high school in the State and
every private school of secondary grade as a prize for the pupil show-
ing the greatest efficiency in the study of the United States history.
That work has been undertaken, and during the course of the year one
hundred high schools and private high schools have entered into that
competition, so that at the close of the year we will have one hundred
medals going out to those of all the nationalities that go to make up our
cosmopolitan population, not only in that foreign city of Boston, but all
through the State of Massachusetts, encouraging the study of United
States history in every school. T think it is only just to say that this
lias been made possible through the generosity of the present President
of the Massachusetts State Society, Mr. Nutting, and, therefore, you
see the application of the influence of the effluence of the affluence in
Massachusetts. (Applause and laughter.)
Mr. Ski.dkn M. Ely ( District of Columbia) : Mr. Spangler, the
President of the District of Columbia Society, in his absence, asked me
to make notes for him, and I am sure if he were here he would be
glad to have the record corrected to this effect, and T am epiite sure
that Mr. Williams, representing the Middle and Coast District, would
be equally glad to have me state that the District of Columbia Society,
instead of having presented ioo War Service medals, in accordance
with the report, either has presented or is to present 136 medals out of
a membership of 500.
Mr. A. W. North (California): T do not want to let the various
remark's that have been made concerning the helpful work" of the
American Legion pass fvpiri our minds before the same may he put in
some concrete fashion from this Convention to the next annual con-
vention of the American Legion. Accordingly as one taking pride in

Rev. Martin: As a member of both societies, may I have the honor

kKPORT ()K COMMITTER ON PATRIOTIC EDUCATION.
i Cuicac.o, Ii,i,., May 17, [920.
Mr. Chancki,i v or R. Jknks,
President General National Society, Sons
of the American Revolution, Chicago III.
DiiAR Sir and Compatriot: Owing to the untimely death of Com-
patriot Judge John Milton Reifsnider, the Chairman of our National
Committee on Patriotic Education, the privilege of presenting a report
of the work and progress of this great committee has been conferred
upon me.
By the death of Judge Reifsnider the Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution has lost a distinguished member and leader and
our country a patriotic citizen and a Christian gentleman.
I lis work' as chairman of this committee lias been characterized by
staunch Americanism— Americanism that means more than merely
learning to read or ^recite certain things about our country and our
flag. Mis work was based on the ideals of American patriotism; on
love for our country, shown in thought, word, and deed; not merely
lip loyalty. lie was very active in promoting the adoption of The
American's Creed, and accomplished great good in that and similar
patriotic work. It was a pleasure to work with him in these patriotic
lines; his aims were so high, his understanding of our American prob-
lems so thorough, and his courtesy so pleasing.
The members of our committee realize fully that "Peace hath her
trials as well as war." Our great World's War has taught us the
great need <>f not only Americanizing the alien, but also of truly
Americanizing some Americans. Too many of the foreign peoples have
lived together in groups, where English was an alien tongue and rarely
spoken. Whin the shock of war came, many of these' aliens who had
but recently come to our country and who had but little in common
with our ideals took up the cause of their native countries — some
actively, utticrc pnssivetv.

SONS OF THIS AMERICAN REVOLUTION
welding together of the many diverse peoples inhabiting our country
into one great nation, fused by the lire of American patriotism. Men
who had been totally indifferent to the ideals of American citizenship
began to take an active interest when their boys enlisted to defend our
country, and soon that interest became so keen that these aliens became
proud of their new home and began to talk of "our country, our flag."
I have seen this personally in many hundred cases and know it was
the case with many thousands.
Other aliens, who had come to this country mainly to enjoy the
blessings of freedom, had embraced the ideals of American government
and were as keenly anxious to uphold them as native Americans of
old stock. They rallied to the colors as quickly as any one, and
thousands of foreign-born Americans have laid down their lives that
we might live as a free people. Truly, the foreigner who comes here
with a love of our institutions in his heart and a desire to respect and
uphold the laws of our country is as good an American citizen as the
descendant of the Cavalier, the Puritan, or the Knickerbocker.
The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution has
, been the pioneer in constructive patriotic teaching. For many years it
has provided patriotic literature in different languages, explaining the
Constitution of the United States, its liberal system of government, its
privileges of citizenship, its great possibilities in the line of advance-
ment, and, above all, the opportunity of having a voice ili building up
this government of the people; by the people, for the people.
The present is a trying time. Inspired with the burning desire to
save our own great country from the unspeakable atrocities and domi-
nation of the Prussian Huns, the people of the United States met the
treacherous submarine attacks of the enemy and their determination to
conquer our country with a courage, devotion, and unity of purpose
never surpassed in the history of the world. We were not militarists,
but we realized that if we wished to preserve the liberty laid down by
our fathers we must fight for it. Those gallant countries, Belgium,
France, England, Russia, and Italy, had fought bravely and had done
some marvelous fighting. America sent over her gallant boys, 2,000,000
of them, with the fiery zeal of Crusaders, to help purge the world of
Brussianism and its brutality, At Chateau-Thierry, Argon He, and other
battlefields they changed the French battle cry of "They shall not pass!"
to a new American slogan, "On to Berlin!" The French, British, Bel-
gians, and Italians were holding the Germans back on the western
front when our Yankee boys began to pour into France, helped by the
British fleet, which aided in transporting them over quickly.
Our boys showed what patriotic education had done, by fighting with
such fearlessness and judgment that they broke the German line, to the
great dismay of the latter. When they found out that 2,000,000 of such
fighters as these Yankees at Chateau-Thierry, Argonne, and other
places were actually in France and Belgium and were organized into
an American army; that 2,000,000 more were waiting to be shipped
over; that 4,000,000 more were ordered to the colors, to be sent to the
camps, they lost courage and began to talk peace. The armistice was
granted, unfortunately, a little too soon. Tt should have been signed
at Berlin, after the Allies had marched in and taken possession. This
would have settled the question beyond cavil as to the real defeat of
the Germans by the troops of the Allies.
The present, time is one of the most dangerous in the history of the
country. The change of four million men from a state of war to the
comparative inaction of peace is a tremendous one in its psvcholo<jic
and physiologic effects. It is characterized 1\v fchc greatest" kind of
restlessness and dissatisfaction. This will remain until their «-—'•- '

well as conditions are readjusted. In too many eases the ardent patriot
who threw himself into the war for his country's sake comes home to
find some slacker in his place and he is unable to get a position. We
all know of such cases. They are dangerous — yea, criminal also.
Another great and increasing source of danger is from these aliens
who are opposed to our American institutions and are trying to establish
by force a government based upon the Soviet system of Lenihe and
Trotsky. Some of these men may be sincere; the vast majority seem
to be anarchists and lawbreakers. These should be deported as fast as
possible. There is no room here for such people. Liberty is not license,
and this country, founded through the toil and blood of our forefathers,
must not be polluted by the presence of traitors and enemies.
There remains that great body of aliens who are ignorant of the
language and ideals of our country, but who have come here to stay
and expect to become citizens. They are here now, and must be
seriously' reckoned with. How can we best train them to become worthy
American citizens?
Every one realizes that the best way to do this is through the schools.
Those of us who are in the business of teaching realize our many ad-
vantage? as well as disadvantages. Here is the point of contact with
the parents, and here is the place to begin. Many Americans ask,
"Why do not the children learn as we did years ago?" The answer is
simple. When we Americans went to school, a generation or more ago,
everything was conducted for Americans.
Our ideals and customs were American; our language was English.
All we needed was instruction in the academic branches of education.
Today how different, especially in the large cities. Tn many cases
these poor, underfed school children must be fed, to keep them from
starving; clothed, to keep them from freezing; housed properly, to keep
them from illness; must be shown the United States Hag, to know
their own flag; taught some English, to know the language of their
country. After nil these things are accomplished, we are ready to go
on with them from where we commenced a generation ago.
Much patriotic work' is done in our schools probably more than in
all other agencies put together, for here is the very foundation work,
in many cases, of American patriotism ; and the school-teachers, God
bless them, have done most noble work in inculcating that love of our
country, our Hag, and our ideals that culminated in that burning fervor
that gave the spirit of the Crusaders to our American boys in the
late war.
This work with the children has been supplemented by school-work
in the evening schools for adults as well as for young people. Here
they^are receiving instruction in all kinds of patriotic work and applied
civics. The work in Chicago, which is especially familiar to me, is but
a sample of the work done all over the country. The alien is no longer
an outsider in our body politic; he is a potential American citizen.
Whether for good or for evil will be largely determined by the manner
in which he is treated, the cordiality shown him, and the desire on the
part of real Americans, whether native or foreign born, to acquaint
him with the real pleasures, privileges., and duties of American citizen-
ship.
Our schools are doing great work in these lines. Classes are springing
up everywhere for giving this instruction to not only the alien, but also
to 'the native-born.
Our whole system of American education could be made doubly
efficient wore it recognized as a government institution, elevated to the
rank of a real governmental department, called the Department of
Education, and the Commissioner of Education promoted to bo Secre-
I4O SONS OK TIIK AMlvKICAN REVOLUTION.
tary of Education. All matters pertaining to the subject of education,
in its different phases, could be placed under its jurisdiction without
assuming any special authority over the State systems of education.
This would not only simplify educational matters greatly, hut would
also he a great gain to the government, as it would combine different
educational plans and departments, making for greater efficiency and
economy. The Smith-Towner Bill, which calls for a Department of
Education-, combines these various educational plans in a most efficient
manner and should he passed by Congress.
It would help to dignify the position of teacher and aid in providing
funds so that the teacher will he regarded as one of the bulwarks of
society and he paid as such. Many thousands of the best teachers are
leaving the profession to enter the business world, which recognizes the
ability and character of these teachers .and pays them from two to five
til-lies their educational salaries to secure their efficient services. Unless
such recognition he granted, the outlook, with so many untrained
teachers, is very dark'.
What is our Society, the Sons of the American Revolution, doing in
this line of patriotic education? Much. Ours was the first society to
handle this on a large scale by printing hundreds of thousands of
pamphlets dealing with American citizenship, the Constitution of the
United Stales, etc. I have had the pleasure for years of presenting
these pamphlets by the thousands to the Chicago evening schools, for
their clashes in citizenship; to the Gary, Indiana. Public Library, and
other places.
What is being done by the members of the Committee on Patriotic
Kdncation? Much. They are all working in various lines of this
great patriotic work. One great work' that our member's are doing is
to see that patriotic education is given in the schools; that our historical
text-hooks are true and patriotic; that teachers, whether of common
schools, high schools, or colleges and universities, shall he patriotic
American citizens, teaching a robust, aggressive Americanism. Neither
Bolshevist nor Bolshevism has any place in our schools. \o position,
however high, is so sacrosanct that its occupant is above responsibility
for his utterances.
Our lamented leader, Judge John Milton Rei fsnidcr, of Baltimore,
did a great deal of work in directing and aiding in this work of
patriotic education. Air. Matthew Page Andrews, Chairman of the
Committee on Publication, states that Judge Rcifsnider was especially
helpful in placing The .American's Creed in all the public schools of
Maryland, ami placing a copy of the little hook, "The American's
Creed and Its Meaning," in the hands of every pupil of the eighth
grade in the schools of Baltimore. The Maryland Society has done an
immense anioutfc of work' and accomplished a great deal of good in
pushing this splendid creed that embrace's the ideals of American
patriotism and was written by William Tyler Page, a member of the
Maryland Society. It has been placed in the movies there and is re-
ceived with great enthusiasm.
The School Hoard of Baltimore appropriated a sum of money to
furnish the eighth-grade pupils with "The American's Creed and Its
Meaning," thus hemg the first city to do this. Chicago has helped
alfeo in this manner by granting permission to tin- Illinois Society to
furnish copies of The American's Creed to the seventh and eighth-grade
pupils of the city schools and distributing them to the said schools.
The money for this work was appropriated h\ the Illinois Society, and
Compatriot Ik J. Ashley, by his great patriotism and energy, hasbeen
the great driving force that has them placed lure. The members of
our Illinois Society are invited as speakers for the schools on Memorial V
Day.

Chicago is also doing great work among the adults through her
evening schools, teaching English in connection with the work of the
student and giving elementary work in civics as last as they can grasp
it. Superintendent Peter Mortenson is bending every effort to Ameri-
canize the foreign people and train them to become patriotic, self-
supporting citizens. In this he is backed heartily by the Board of
Education, which also furnishes teachers in small parks, community
centers, etc
iters, etc.
Assistant Superintendent Morgan C. Llogge has especial charge of
this Americanization work, and he says it is pathetic and encouraging
to see the interest and eagerness with which these foreign people
strive to learn English and become acquainted with the principles of
true Americanism. During the past winter about 7,000 people were
thus helped m this patriotic/work in the public schools and about 1,000
more in the parochial foreign schools, the teachers in the latter being
also furnished by our city Board of Education. This seems to be a
\ cry helpful system and will undoubtedly be extended in the future, as
it is becoming more and more popular with the foreign people.
I Ion. Francis 0. Blair, State Superintendent of Public Instruction for
Illinois, writes that be "considers The American's Greed a remarkably
concise statement of the very essence of Americanization." There is
no method by which it could be adopted by the Slate of Illinois, but he
slates that he will publish it in Ins next bulletin, with his endorsement.
Mr. Blair is doing splendid work in suggesting and directing work in
patriotic lines.
Judge Wallace McCamant, the President of the Oregon Society, slates
that the Oregon Society is active in teaching American patriotism and
seeing that proper books are used in the schools; that they had one
history removed from the schools through a campaign of the people;
that a member of the Oregon Sons of the American Revolution is on
the Committee on Text-books, and by his help proper books are in use.
Judge McCamant also says that on September 17 members of the Sons
of the American Revolution spoke to the Portland Nigh Schools in
celebration of Constitution Day, and each high school' was presented
with a framed copy of The American's Creed, which was also, presented
to every large high school in Oregon.
The Oregon Society has also purchased and lodged will) the State
Librarian quite a number of traveling libraries, made up of books that
are useful in teaching American citizenship. This is a very fine idea
and should be copied by other Stales.
Compatriot Prank W. Graham, Secretary of the New Mexico Society,
is working hard to push the spirit of Americanism throughout the State.
The Albuquerque Chapter is offering a gold medal to the student al the
University of Mew Mexico giving the best original oration on
'Americanism." and also has offered two cash prizes to be awarded to
the best essays* written by high-school pupils of Xew Mexico.
Compatriot A. I\. Sheldon, of the Nebraska Society, reports that con-
structive measures are being taken by their Society toward the teachers
of patriotism and citizenship among the large foreign population in
their State.
lie feels that: the teaching must be left largely to (he schools, both the
day and the evening schools, and that patriotic citizens will see that
proper instruction in patriotic education is given wherever needed.
Splendid work is being done in every State in teaching constructive
citizenship. In addition to the magnilicent work d«>ne in the public
schools, much of the same work- is being done in classes that are
organized in all kinds of industrial and commercial plants, this instruc-
tion being given in working lime.
142 SONS OF TIIlv AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Many thousands of dollars arc being spent in New York City in
training the foreign-born to become good American citizens. Schools
of all kinds are being established to help them in learning English and
the principles of our government, it is now fully realized that we must
go to the foreigners and become personally acquainted with them, their
customs and tniditions, before we can really tench them our American
ideals.
Compatriot George Ik Sage, who is President of the Rochester
Chapter, Empire State Society, writes that New York has been doing
great things in leaching good citizenship throughout the State.
At the annual meeting of the Empire State Society the question was
brought up of uniform naturalization laws. The chairman of our
National Patriotic Education Committee will say emphatically that no
man with only his first papers has any right to vote for national officers;
and no State should have power to allow such a privilege to be used by
any resident, though it may base the power to grant the privilege of so
\oting for State officers.
Where there is a provision in a State constitution allowing the
declarant to vote, and this is construed to allow the would-be citizen
to vote for national officers, as well as State officers, it is against public
policy and should not be allowed. Voting for State officers and -meas-
ures on first papers is a danger; voting for national officers and meas-
ures on first papers is a calamity. Neither should be allowed.
Rochester Chapter presented the City vi Rochester with a six-ton
boulder with bronze tablet commemorating Constitution Hay, and will
soon present to the city a tablet marking the spot where Lafayette re-
ceived the greetings of the soldiers of the Revolution.
Compatriot Sage says they are doing very effective work by sending
around to the outdoor meetings in the foreign districts a truck' with
moving-picture outfit, showing striking scenes of American history,
flags, songs, etc. With tin's outfit is a small organ, with musicians, etc.
It certainly makes a hit with the people and enkindles a spirit of pride
in being an American citizen.
The speaker would add that, with the co-operation of patriotic friends,
he has been able to locate two noteworthy historical places near Chicago.
One is the site of Little Fort (Petite Fort) of the old French and
Revolutionary times, which was built by the French in the Indiana
dunes, near Tremont, to control the fur trade of the Calumet region.
The other is the location of the Revolutionary battle, or skirmish, on
December 5, 1780, between the American-French forces from Cahokia
and Peoria, Ilk, and the British-Indians from Fort St. Joseph, Mich.,
whieh had been captured and looted by the Americans.
This skirmish has often been located at South Chicago, but a very
painstaking search on tin- part of the speaker found the letter from
Lieutenant Governor Hamilton, of Mackinaw, and which was later ap-
proved by Governor Ilaldhnand, of Canada, stating that Mr. Champion,
the head trader of Fort St. Joseph, had returned from the annual hunt
with his Indians, pursued the Americans, overtook them at Trail Creek
(at Michigan City), and defeated them. This settles the location and
the winner. This location is on the b:a"ijfu| Ooo-aerc duneland farm
of ex-Mayor Martin T. Krueger, the "Patriotic Mayor of Michigan
City," who has given 80 acres of this beautiful duneland to Michigan
City as a memorial park, reserving a pari ojE this beautiful park as a
burial plot for any soldier, sailor, or marine of Michigan City who
served in the World War. This running skirmish in 1780 was fought
in this memorial park, and a monument should be erected here to the
Revolutionary, World War, and other heroes.
A testimony of approval bv the National Sons of the American Revo- ^
lution of the great patriotism shown by this American patriot, who

came here from Germany as, a boy in 1863, would doubtless be greatly
appreciated by Air. Krueger.
A rather full account of the history of the Chicago Dune Region,
from the Mound Builders to the present time, including the proposed
National Dunes Park, is given in the second part of my hook, just com-
pleted — -"The Wonders of the J)unes." It contains much French and
Revolutionary history, as well as pioneer trials and triumphs.
With all these patriotic agencies at work teaching the ideals and
workings of our Government, the forces for good will be greatly
strengthened and American patriotism extended and vivified.

wear)' you by reading it. I am simply going to read one or two things
that I wish every member of this Society would take to himself.
Mr. Cox, as you know, has been chairman of this committee for a
good many years, ami every year he has gone to great lengths with the
purpose of putting over a law in Congress that would protect the flag.
ft has passed the House in one or two Congresses but didn't pass the
Senate. Then it passed the Senate in Congress, hut was never brought.
up in the Mouse; and as this Congress is a political Congress, there is
little or no hope that the prevention of flag desecration will be brought
up, at least, before the elections in November next. Mr. Cox's report I
will not, as I said, read, but 1 will read, if you will permit me, a very
brief bill that has been introduced into Congress by the Hon. William
E. Andrews, a Representative from the State of Nebraska, and who, by
the way, lived in Washington as a Federal official for many years.
This is particularly the part that we should all endeavor, to use the
slang phrase, to have put over:
A Bnj. to Prevent Desecration of the Fi.ac, and Insignia oi< the
United States and to Provide Punishment Therefor.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatwes of the
United States of America in Congress assembled, That whoever shall,
in any manner for display, place or cause to be placed upon the flag,
colors, coat of arms, or other insignia of the United States any word,
picture, or device of trade advertising, or wdio shall sell, have in posses-
sion, or display, any flag, colors, coat of arms, or insignia of the United
States so marked or mutilated for advertising or trade purposes, or
shall, in any manner place on, attach to, or associate with any article
of commerce any flag, colors, coat of arms, or insignia of the United
States, or offer for sale or have in possession any such article so

associated, or who shall in any manner mutilate, deface, or by word or
act publicly exhibit contempt for the flag', colors, coat of arms, or other
insignia of the United States, or any representation thereof, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction in any Federal
court shall be subject to a line of not more than $500 or imprisonment
for not more than six months, or both.
SivC. 2. That the words "Hag," "colors," "coat of arms," or "insignia"
used herein include also any picture or representation or simulation 'of
the same.
SlCT. 3. That this act shall not apply to the use, wholly disconnected
from trade advertising, of the flag, colors, coat of arms, or other in-
signia of the United States on newspapers, book's, certificates, com-
missions, decorations, banners, pictures, stationery for correspondence,
or in or on any other article or in any position where its use is purely
and obviously for ornamental or patriotic purposes; nor shall it apply
for any other purpose than to prevent the desecration or exhibiting dis-
respect for the flag, colors, coat of arms, or Other insignia of the United
States or their employment for advertising or trade purposes.
Sue. 4. That this act shall go into effect upon its passage and publica-
tion, except as to goods which shall have been made and marked and in
stock at that time, and as to such goods it shall be in force six months
after its passage and publication.
Now, as you all know, the States have their flag and they have proper
legislation in most of the States to protect those State flags, but the
United Stales of America has no law whatever to prevent the desecra-
tion of the national emblem. 1 bring these things to your attention
because 1 think every member of this Society should be a missionary to
put over this protection of the flag of the United States. (Applause.)
The Chairman: Thank you, Mr. Parks.
REPORT Ob THE FLAG COMMITTEE.
This flag, which we honor and under which we serve, is the emblem
of our unity, our power, our thought and purpose as a nation.
— Woodrow Wilson.
The President Ceneral:
The blag Committee, as a preface to its report, begs to recall the fact
that the creators of the Flag of the United States never contemplated
that the symbol of the Republic would ever be used for purposes other
than intended by the Congress, and therefore to protect it by law was
to them an "unthinkable need."
The theory of our patriotic forebears having proven fallacious, the
National Society oj the Sons of the American Revolution appointed a
Flag Committee to -investigate the question of the flag, and, if found
necessary, to secure, if possible, a Federal law to protect the flag of the
United States, "the Emblem of our unity, power, thought and purpose
as a nation."
Your committee therefore reports that the flag has been and is still
abused, misused, and commercially degraded, the only remedy or pre-
ventive being moral suasion or punishment of the recalcitrant offenders
by unauthorized persons, without the forms of law. Bills to protect
the Hag have been introduced and earnestly advocated and base passed
both House and Senate, but have failed to become law for the reason
that no flag bill has passed both bodies of the same Congress.
The 66th Congress of the United States, now in session, has. since
PROCKKIUNGS Ol' HARTFORD CONGRESS. J 45
it assembled, been so occupied in discussing the League of Nations,
economic, peace, and other important measures incident to the World's
War that Hag- legislation, long and earnestly advocated by the Sons of
the American Revolution, has once more been relegated to the rear.
This is a great disappointment to yonr committee, which had reasons
to hope that the recent years of war and sorrow, that have made
precious the flag Americans love, would stimulate our lawmakers to vie
with each other in securing the passage of a bill guarding the unpro-
tected flag of the United States, the creation of the people's Congress.
All phages of Hag desecration and remedial legislation have been con-
sidered by your committee, as shown in the published reports in the
annual Year Books of the Society.
The information contained therein and that obtained at the various
hearings on the flag would be sufficient, it would seem, to make it
possible for Congress, without further data, to enact a law to protect
and defend the flag and at the same time punish those guilty of tearing-
it down or using it in grossly improper ways. The committee believes
that those who carelessly or thoughtlessly misuse the flag should be
taught the fundamentals of our government, knowing which and with
"America first" stamped on their hearts, they will in most cases respect
and reverence its flag.
Those who willfully cast reproach on the flag, debauch it, or defiantly
insult the government for which it stands should be punished in a
lawful way by honor- and justice-loving courts.
During these times of great unrest, Congress should enact a law to
protect the symbols of government, if for no other than a precautionary
measure. In the absence of law, those who would supplant the Stars
and Stripes with another flag will become more active in their destruc-
tive propaganda of dishonoring our flag and the government, as they
have already done, and the pity of it is that they will likely be immune,
unless impassioned lovers of our emblem suppress in their own way the
impious abusers and misusers.
This has been recently demonstrated in Oklahoma, where two men
who had cursed our government and flag were dragged from their
beds by armed and masked men, who lashed them and compelled them
to kiss the flag, regardless of propriety. The)' then tarred, feathered,
and drove them from the State.
The newspapers tell of similar cases where offensive offenders have
been handled by the frenzied with mob violence of Lynch lay.
Despite harsh examples and insults, it is the opinion of your com-
mittee that no legislation will be enacted to protect the flag and punish
its defilers in a just and a lawful way without the persistent and united
efforts of the members of the various patriotic societies.
lion. William K. Andrews, of Nebraska, has introduced a carefully
prepared bill (H. R, 13707, 66th Congress, second session) that is
thought will proVe both efficient and workable. It is believed that it
will also meet technical objections sometimes raised against flag legis-
lation. Mr. Andrews is an able, forceful, and thoughtful member of
Congress and is deeply interested in protecting by congressional enact-
ment the symbols of the Government of the United States. If his efforts
for a Flag law receive the earnest and united support of patriotic
Americans,, his bill, already approved by the National Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution; will become a law.
The time to protect the Klag of I'Veedom from abuse, misuse, and
Commercial degradation is now here, and the committee appeals to all
compatriots and those who love the flag to put in practice and make
possible some of the numberless tributes in prose and poetry spoken
and fervently sung of our flag. Ry devoting some of their time to this
patriotic work they will honor their country and themselves and secure
l.|6. SUNS 01' 'Ill iC AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
a law that will protect the Star-Spangled Banner from reproach and
desecration.
W. V. Cox,
Chairman.
Air. Ricad (of Massachusetts) : In connection with this report, may I
announce to the Congress, what a good many of us know, the death,
since the last Congress, of General Philip Read. I mention his name,
sir, because there was no man more interested in the action to preserve
the sanctity of the American flag.
The Chairman: Resolutions of esteem were drawn at the request
of the Executive Committee and published in the Bui.uc'riN. He was
one of the most heloved and, I think, one of the most unique characters
that we have known, and the Congress will miss him.
Mr. Wen t worth : The notice that Compatriot Read gave in connec-
tion with this valued work of Compatriot Brigadier Philip Read brings
to our minds a host of memories.
The Chairman: Will Past President General Wentworth take the
platform?
Mr. Wu NT worth : Tn the absence of Colonel Guthrie, whom T have
been wailing to see return, I will read a memorial prepared by your
commit (ee. 1 deeply regret that Colonel Guthrie is not here to read it,
hut I will do the best 1 can.
The members arose while Mr. Wentworth read the memorial, which
is as follows :
Philip Reade — compatriot, soldier, citizen, true American — to mention
the name is to reopen the gates of memory, recall acquaintance, revivify
friendship, restore to our circle one of the most unusual and interesting
personalities of his time.
Philip Reade inherited deep love of family, home, and country and
always exemplified his respect therefor.
General Reade's record of loyalty and ability as a soldier, covering
nearly half a century of service, is a matter of history. 1 1 is civic
activities were ever directed toward a better expression of the duties of
citizenship, a keener appreciation of American obligations and oppor-
tunities.
Mis devotion to his mother was a marvelous blending of filial love
ami chivalric service; his visits to the last resting places of his ancestors
partook of the spirit of a pilgrimage.
Danger never daunted his fearless soul. Death was met with a smile.
Philip Reade is with those he loved. Mis spirit is with, us today.
Mr. WtfNTWORTlt : I don't know whether I can tell you how much
Philip Read meant to us who knew him. f don't know that 1 can com-
mand myself to tell you the wonderful, beautiful character of that man.
The most touching scene that T ever participated in was in Philip Read's
rooms in Wadsworth Hotel in Boston. T was there as his guest at that
time, and he took me by the arm into his bedroom, where, on the wall,
by the side of the lied, were seven portraits of his mother. The one in
the center was the portrait taken when, he went into the Army as a
young boy. Tie led me tip there, and, as if the mother whom 1 had had >^
PROaClvOlNGS OF HARTFORD CONGRESS. 147
the honor of meeting in years gone by was there present in person, he
said, "Mother," and introduced me as formally and as tenderly as
though he had been introducing me to her in her presence. It was in
Philip Read's case the most marvelous thing in all the acquaintance of
his friends — that devotion to his mother. lie was wont to make
pilgrimage after pilgrimage to I he home of his boyhood and to the
cemetery where his mother was buried, and I am told by residents of
Lowell, who know of it, that lie would stand with bowed head and tear-
filled eyes at his mother's grave for an hour at a time. The spirit of
Philip Read, the life of Philip Read, was the highest exemplification
of duty and filial love that I have ever known in the fifty-odd years of
my life.
The Chairman: The memorial will be entered upon the record.
Has the Publicity Committee — Compatriot David L. Pearson, of New
Jersey, chairman — any report? (No response.)
The Committee on Local Chapters, Past President General Newell 13.
Woodvvorth, of the Empire State Society, chairman — any report? (No
response.)
Has the Committee on Legal and Local Aid — Past President General
Henry Stockhridge, of Maryland, chairman — any report? (No re-
sponse.)
The Committee on National Archives Building — Major Frederick C.
Bryan, of the District of Columbia Society, chairman?
Major Bryan: Mr. President General and Compatriots: The Com-
mittee on National Archives Building has been able to do little more
than to keep track of the progress of events. It has not been able to
influence them, but the project has now reached a point where this
Society and the members of this Society in their individual and collec-
tive capacity can, I think, accomplish something if they desire to do it
and will act promptly. It should not need any statement on my part
or on the part of anybody else to persuade you to take such action.
The matter of the needs of that building has been discussed before this
body for a good many years. The condition of the national archives
in Washington is scandalous, to say the least. That matter has been
gone into. The needs of that building have been recounted and you
will all admit that after this great war has ended the need of that build-
ing will be greater than ever.
The report <>f the committee, presented by its chairman, is as follows:
REPORT OF COMMITTLK ON NATIONAL ARCHIVES
BUILDING.
Washington, D. C, May 17, 1920.
lion. Cll ANCKi.r.ou L. JiCn'KS,
President General, National Society, Sons of
the American Revolution, Hartford, Conn.
Di'AR Sir: The Special Committee of this Congress on a National
Archives Building was appointed at the Annual Congress held in Syra-
cuse, New York in 101 |. The need of a suitable building to house the
UJ.8 SONS 1)1' Til I; AMKKJCAN LUtVUMJTlON.
invaluable archives of the National Government, now widely scattered
and in great danger of loss and deterioration, has been dwelt on in
numerous reports of the committee. The subject-matter is not a new
one in Congress. For more than forty years that body has been urged
to provide such a building, and the Senate forty years ago passed a bill
providing for the construction of a National Archives Building. In
)( .)°J> by authority of an act of Congress, an entire block of land was
purchased as the site of such a building. That site is now occupied by
the Department of the Interior Building*
Plans for the building have been drawn in the office of the Supervis-
ing Architect, where they have reposed for many years. Estimates for
a site and for the building have been submitted to Congress by the
Secretary of the Treasury regularly for some sessions past, including
both sessions of the present Congress.. The estimate presented to the
present session included an item of $1,986,000, of which $4X6,000 was
for site and $1,500,000 for building and equipment, and was reported by
the Committee on Appropriations in the Sundry Civil Bill. The item
was dropped out of the bill in the Committee of the Whole of the
House and was not restored to the bill by the House itself when it was
passed, on the 12th day of May this year.
This body meets at a very opportune time for promoting this much-
needed legislation — a need vastly increased on account of the World
War. The bill is now before the Senate, and the Senate is favorably
disposed to the proposition. The former Secretary of the Treasury,
who submitted the pending estimate, is now a member of that body. If
every State and local organization represented in the National Society
of the Sons of the American Revolution and every individual Son
will at once make an urgent appeal to their and his two United States
Senators, asking that the item be restored to the Sundry Civil Bill, there
is every prospect of success in that body, and that the bill as it passes
the Senate will contain the appropriation for a National Archives
Building, If this can be accomplished, effort should be directed at once
to persuade the Mouse conferees and the Mouse itself to accept the
Senate amendment and keep the item in the bill. I lard work will be
required to accomplish it, but it is not impossible of accomplishment.
The site selected is a very desirable one and options have been
secured. These options expire with the present session of Congress,
and it is estimated they cannot be renewed except at a figure at least
20 per cent higher than the figures of the present options. This is a
further and weighty argument in favor of making immediate and con-
certed action to secure the enactment of this legislation in the life of
the present session of Congress.
Very respectfully submitted, Kkkdkkick C. Bryan
Cha
iriiian.
The CHAIRMAN: This report will be referred to the Committee on
Official Reports. The Committee on Increased Membership— Director
General Lewis P.. Curtis, of Connecticut, chairman.
Director General Curtis: Mr. President General and Compatriots,
in making this report for the Committee on Increased Membership I
find myself in a little embarrassing position. The Registrar General,
having had the first whack at you, has stolen my thunder. Beyond
that, our Constitution as now amended makes it the duty of the Vice-
Presidents to increase the membership; so our committee is rather a
follow-up committee, to keep the Vice-Presidents at their work, and
they ought to, in turn, have the credit. Now, T don't want to take away
PROCEEDINGS 01? MAK'ITOKD CONGRESS. 149
any of their thunder and serve them as the Registrar General lias
served us, but J will just report ill short form that oar membership
has increased. We have taken in about 1,200 new members, but there
has been a great amount of cleaning house among the Societies this
year, which lias brought our net membership down to some 2.4X, I
think, but it is a more healthy membership than it was before. There
I . is no use of keeping dead wood in our rostrum, and now that the
! house-cleaning has been done, we look for greater results next year.
Our report last year was published in the Year Book and I hope some
of you read it, and in that report we said, and 1 want to emphasize
it again, that this job of increased membership is too big for any
one busy man. We ought to have a field secretary or somebody who
could go around and devote his time to it and help the States in their
work of increasing their membership. T don't know that the time is
ripe to bring that up, but T throw it out as a thought.
You already have inosl all the information 1 possibly could give you,
or will have through the reports of the Vice-Presidents General. 1
will therefore say that our committee will submit a detailed report,
which will be published later in the Year Book, with your permission.
(Applause.)
REPORT. OK THE COMMITTEE 0\ T INCREASED
MEMBERSHIP.
Reference is made to the last report of this committee, published on
page 131 of the 1919 Year Hook. The work has been vigorously pushed
by the committee. While the number of new members has been large,
still the net gain is somewhat smaller than last year, on account of the
large number of members dropped by the State Societies through death
or for non-payment of dins.
While, therefore, we are only able to report a net gain of 242 for
the year, the quality is improved, owing to the elimination of "dead
wood." It is certainly not a healthy condition for a society to carry
many names on the membership roll who do not pay their dues or take
any interest. This work now having been accomplished, we hope for a
larger net increase during the coming year.
The list of membership as of March .31, 1920, having been corrected
as far as possible, now numbers 16,-443 against a membership of a year
ago of 16,178. . Full details will appear in the report of the Registrar
General and will, therefore, not be repeated here.
Attention is again called to the last paragraph of our last year's report,
where we advocated the appointment of a field secretary, who could
devote his entire time to helping the State Societies in their efforts to
increase their membership.
Respectfully submitted, Lkwis 15. Curtis,
V Chairman of the Committee on Increased Membership.
Tlie Chairman: 1 am requested by \)v. Williams to announce that
the reception this afternoon will be informal. With his permission we
will continue this session for half an hour and we will, 1 think, be
nearly through with our work by thai time. Compatriot White has a
further statement to make with regard to arrangements.

SONS OF Til JC AMICIUCAN INVOLUTION.
Mr. WHITE: 1 want to make a few statements about some of the
events mentioned on the program. The Daughters of the American
Revolution have announced that there is ail ■ Kxhibit of Native Arts by
mir new Americans. They have had this exhibit prepared at the
Morgan Memorial, and it will be open from (j o'clock to 5 dining the
sessions of this Congress.
it is hoped the reception this evening by the Daughters of the American
Revolution will be recognized by a very large attendance of the dele-
gates and their ladies. This will surely be a very interesting occasion
and it will be held at the State Library,
I want to ask on behalf of the Kanquet Committee for advices from
any delegate who cannot be present at the banquet tomorrow evening.
One delegate from New, Hampshire has already been thoughtful enough
to advise us regarding that. If there is any delegate who will not be
present tomorrow evening he will please notify the Credentials Com-
mittee and they will notify the Ikiuquet Committee.
The Chairman : The report of the Committee on Ceremonies and
Colors came in with the colors.
The Committee on Observation of Constitution Day — Past President
General Ames, chairman.
Mr. AMI'S: Mr. President General, your Committee on Constitution
Day submitted a report, October 25, 1919, in detail, and it was published
in the December Buijlktin, and does not need to be repeated here, but
referred to your Committee on Official Reports.
You noticed, however, in the reading of the Treasurer's report that
there was an expenditure of between $21 and $22. That was the entire
expense to which this Society was put, although over 31,000 celebrations
were held and 100,000 columns of newspaper notice obtained, and we
co-operated with seven other patriotic societies. I do not know that
any other patriotic society made any financial contribution, but there
is something that has not been said here before, but I will say it now,
however. The cost of all these celebrations was $15,000, and your
Committee of the Sons of the American Revolution and a member of
the National Security League called upon the Sage Foundation Fund
and there we obtained that $15,000. (Applause.)
The Chairman: This report will be referred to the Committee on
Reports.
The Washington Guard report is next and it will be read by Gover-
nor General Lenord Merrill.
The report is as follows :
609 Park Avenue, East Orangk, N. J., May 14, T920.
To the J'rcsident General, National Society, Sons of the American
Revolution, in Congress assembled at 1 /art ford , Conn.
Mr. PrKsidKnT GENERAL: 1 am again obliged to report little progress
in the work of thf: National Commandcry of the Washington Guard of
the Sons of the American Revolution. In my report to the last Con-
gress J urged that specific instructions should be issued to each State
PROCEEDINGS OF HARTFORD CONGRESS; 15I
Society to compile a list of the sons of members in the respective States.
No action, as far as 1 know, was taken, and I very respectfully make
the request again. With such a list and full data accompanying the
same, we can proceed to thoroughly organize the Washington Guard.
Without such data we. can do little or nothing.
I consider this junior organization to be a valuable asset to our
Society, and doubly so in these days of unrest. If we can once establish
the foundation on the firm basis of a proper enrollment, active work
can be started by the various State commanderies, aided by the National
Officers.
Personally, I am deeply interested in the work and the Society may
count upon my enthusiastic and zealous co-operation. It is a work
i especially adapted, however, to some of the younger members of our
Society, and, after data is prepared, the President of each State Society
should have no difficulty in interesting a number of the younger com-
patriots in the work.
Respectfully submitted. John Lhnord MlvRRiij,.
The Chairman: This report will be referred to the Committee on
Reports. We will now receive reports of a special committee, the
War Service Committee — Compatriot Carl V. Vail, Past President of
the New Jersey Society, chairman. Any report? (No response.)
The reports of State Societies will go direct to the Secretary General
and will be printed in the Year Rook.
Under the head of New Business comes the presentation of the Colo-
rado Traveling Banner, which has been held during the last year by
the Louisiana Society, to the Virginia Society, which has achieved the
largest percentage of net gain, namely 203-10 per cent. I will call upon
Compatriot Campbell B. Hodges, of the Louisiana Society, to present
the banner to Compatriot Arthur B. Clark, the President of the Virginia
Society.
Major HodG.Es: Mr. President General and Compatriots, I suppose a
soldier should be ready at all times, no matter what lie may be called
upon to do. I remember when I first joined my regiment, about eighteen
years ago, my old Colonel, whenever called upon to make a speech,
would look very fierce and as soldierly as he could, and say, "Talking
is not my business," and T feel that way about this occasion. However,
1 wish to say that although I do not live in Louisiana all the time,
being in the Regular Army, I have heard by the reports from there
that Colonel C. Robert Churchill, the President, and all the other mem-
bers of the Society have been very active, and Louisiana is very proud
to have possessed this banner for a year. I take great pride in handing
it, on behalf of the Louisiana Society, to Virginia. (Applause.)
Mr. Ci.ark : in accepting this flag T am reminded of a friend of mine,
who whenever in a controversy always replied with an epigram. At
the (dub one night an Englishman — this was before we got into the
war — said that if the United States and England got into a fight, how
quickly England would whip the United States. My friend said, "What,
;igain?" (Laughter.) Flag, T salute you — what, again? We've had
it once and 1 thank- you for it again. (Applause.)
152 SONS OF '11 1 (v AMKlUCAN REVOLUTION.
The Chairman : The Syracuse Banner for the greatest actual enroll-
ment during the year was won last year by New Jersey and again this
year by New Jersey. I will call upon the President of the New Jersey
State Society, Dr. Lyman Whitney .Mien, to present the banner to
himself. (Laughter.)
Dr. AtEEN : Air. President General, 1 can go you one better, than
that. There is one man in our Society who is much better fitted to
present this banner than myself. It's the man who was the originator
of this great movement which has been sweeping for years over New
Jersey and which has resulted in so much new membership, and I ask,
therefore, that our beloved and honored Compatriot, who for two years
was President of the New Jersey Society, Mr. John Let lord Merrill,
present and receive this banner, lie has had more to do with it than
anybody else. (Applause.)
Mr. MerRIEE : Mr. President General, I am reminded of a little Bible
history. It won't take long to tell it and I'll let you in on it. When
Noah came out of the ark he thanked his lucky stars that there was no
congressional committee there to investigate whether lie should receive
a medal as surviving commander of the fleet. (Laughter and applause.)
So he pinned the medal on himself. I am not like Noah and have no
medal to pin on myself. Our State President has been exceedingly
gracious, and on behalf of the J, 500 or more Jerseyites I accept this
presentation to ourselves. Mr. President General, it means much; it
means hard labor; it means a love tor the institution known as the
Sons of the American Revolution, and for the Americanization it teaches
throughout our State and our country, and in winning this banner
again we are proud of the honor of taking it back. I want, Mr. Presi-
dent General, to speak again in behalf of every member o'f the New
Jersey Society who has worked zealously and loyally. Our growth has
been phenomenal. Jersey is proud of her position in this .Society. I
thank you, Mr. President General. (Applause.)
The Chairman: Has any compatriot anything to offer under the
head of New Business?
Mr. Nutting (President of Massachusetts State Society) : We have
been speaking of the forces of Americanization. One of the greatest
forces of Americanization this country ever knew, Theodore Roosevelt
(applause), has passed away, and the Massachusetts Society at a recent
meeting passed the following resolution:
Resolution ok tin; Massacii u setts Society, Sons of the American
Revolution.
WHEREAS our late Compatriot, Theodore Roosevelt, former President
of the United States of America, anions the numerous activities of his
noble and strenuous life, has to his great and lasting renown one (\i.-v<\
accomplished which man) men for centuries past had dreamed of, and
some liad unsuccessfully attempted, namely, the building of the canal
across the Isthmus of Panama :
Mow, therefore, the Massachusetts Society of the Sons of the Anier- *

does hereby place itself upon record as believing- that a due and fitting
recognition of this wonderful accomplishment in the construction ot
this herculean work of engineering, which will help all the world for
ages to come, should be made by this country, and that no recognition
of this great service could be more fitting than to name this canal
"The Roosevelt Canal" ,
Wherefore the Massachusetts Society, Sons of the American Revo-
lution, hereby petitions the Congress of the United States of America
to enact, a law whereby the name of the Panama Canal shall be changed
to and shall forever remain 'The Roosevelt Canal," as a memorial to
Theodore Roosevelt.
Copies of this resolution, in triplicate, to be signed by the President,
Vice-Presidents, Registrar, and Secretary and attested by the seal of
the Society.
One copy to be forwarded by the Secretary to each of the presiding
officers of the Senate and House of Representatives respectively, re-
questing them to initiate such legislation as may lie necessary or ex-
pedient to accomplish this purpose, and the third copy to be sent by
the Secretary to the senior Senator from Massachusetts, asking him to
aid ami assist this movement in every manner possible.

a permanent memorial to the late President Theodore Roosevelt, to
The Roosevelt Canal, and that the Secretary General be directed to
notify the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of
Representatives of this action, and to urge the passage of legislation
to effect this result.
The Chairman': This will go to the Committee on Resolutions unless
the Congress desires to take it up now.
Mr. Yi;rj«oTT (First Vice-President of the Maryland Society): Mr.
President General and Compatriots, I come today from Maryland with
a suggestion which we down there have worked over and thought over
and think contains much which will prove of interest, not only to this
great Society, but as well to the people throughout the length and
breadth of this greal land. I think, my friends, I would be safe in
saying that if some modern Paul Revere would ride into ibis hall now
154 SONS OF Till-; AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
and tell us that some foreign enemy was advancing upon our shores
that we to a man would get up and under the leadership of our leaders
here would go out, without thought of home or self, in defense of our
nation and our ilag. But, my friends and compatriots, not all enemies
come with a blare of trumpet and of drums and with Hags Hying to the
breeze. Some come in a much more insidious way, and to us, to a
people composed as we, the American people, are composed, they are
infinitely more dangerous than any enemy wdiich might come as 1
first described; and it seems to me that it behooves this great Society
of ours to come forward and to meet that insidious enemy with the
same spirit with which we would meet the other form of enemy. That
enemy comes under a variety of flags. At the present time the one which
seems the greatest menace is the one denounced as the Red Flag of
anarchy, of Bolshevism, of Socialism in its most extreme form; and
the cry goes up here and there, "Let us destroy it. Let us trample down
that Ilag." My friends, that Hag as it is, is a hateful sight, a hateful
thought in the mind and heart of every true American; but if we
analyze that flag, if we look more closely to it, we will find there em-
blazoned, not emblazoned, but buried in the warp and woof of that
ilag for the men of vision to see, for the men to see who can look
beneath the surface, this one word — "ignorance." My friends, the work
of the Sons of the American Revolution is to dispel that ignorance, to
wash it out. To wash out with stripes of white, and snatching a piece
of the blue sky above, set it in the corner there, and' bring those who
now would tram-pie on that Ilag under that regenerated Ilag. (Ap-
plause.) But, compatriots, this resolution which we are about to
offer now on behalf of the Maryland Society recognizes one more thing,
one more thought. I'irst we realize that we must meet this enemy as
Americans should meet all enemies of America. Second, that we should
dispid that ignorance which is at the basis of all their animosity toward
the American principles ; and it recognizes further that we must unmask
that enemy, we must declare that enemy for what it is. Those are the
three thoughts which are embodied in these resolutions wdiich 1 am
about to offer on behalf of the Maryland Society.
WhKREAS we note with dread for the future welfare of our country
the failure on the part of a large and rapidly growing number of our
fellow-citizens to appreciate the true significance of those guaranties of
freedom, equality, justice, and personal liberty which under the Con
stitution of our land are inalienable rights of every American citizen ;
and
WHEREAS we also note with deep regret the failure on the part of so
many of our citizens to realize that such guaranties of our Constitution
can only continue to survive so long as the law which created them shall
ilsel f survive ; and
YViiKKKAS we fully appreciate the great difficulty of enforcing laws
against sedition, treason, and other acts and conduct tending to under-
mine our Government, without at times seeming, in the opinion of the
unthinking, to violate the fundamental principle of personal liberty, \
wdiich is the keystone of a democratic form of government; and
i'rockkihncs o]' jiAK'rroKi) con&kisss. 155
WHEREAS we realize that, in view of these facts, the true remedy for
our present political discontent must lie not so much in the making of laws
as in arousing in the breasts of the great masses of loyal and patriotic
American citizens a realization of the blessings of the Government
under which we live, and a spirit of uncompromising intolerance toward
those who would persist in their efforts to destroy and overthrow the
same ; and.
WHEREAS we deem it peculiarly appropriate that we, the son-^ of
those patriots who in the American Revolution gave their lives that
freedom, equality, justice, and personal liberty might live, should to a
man resist every serious attempt to destroy and overthrow our Govern-
ment, and that in this hour of danger we should call to the defense of
our Flag and our Nation, as our fathers did a hundred and forty-five
years ago, every patriotic and loyal American citizen ; and
Whereas we have noted that at a recent convention of a political
organization calling itself the Socialist Party of America, held in the
metropolis of our Nation, men calling themselves American citizens,
and presuming upon that freedom of speech which is one of the most
sacred guaranties of our national Constitution, were permitted by
those composing snch convention to use, without rebuke, language de-
signed and intended to disrupt and overthrow our Government, and
to discredit the principles upon which it was founded and under which
it has endured for many generations as the home of a free people and a
haven for the persecuted of other lands; and
Whereas at said convention the Socialist Party of America had the
effrontery to insult every patriotic and law-abiding American citizen by
nominating for the Presidency of the United Slates a man who during
a long period of years was notorious throughout the land for his
treasonable utterances and studied efforts to overthrow our Govern-
ment, who in time of war, when every loyal American had rallied to
the defense of our country, had been guilt)' of acts of sedition and
treason for which he was convicted by a jury of his peers, according to
the law of the land, and who at the time of such nomination was con-
fined in a Federal penitentiary, under a sentence confirmed by the Su-
preme Court of the United States, the highest judicial tribunal of our
Land ; therefore he it
Resolved by the Maryland Society, Sons of the American Revolution:
hirst, that this Society unanimously condemns and denounces the
action of the Socialist Party of America, at its recent convention in
New York City, in permitting and encouraging efforts on the part of
memhers of such convention to destroy and overthrow the Government
of the United States of America, and particularly the action of such
convention in nominating a convicted felon for the Presidency of the
{ hiited States :
Second, that we call upon every patriotic citizen of America to rally
to the defense of our Nation and its flag, and to rebuke at the polls and
elsewhere this action of the Socialist Party of America, and as well
every other similar^ action upon the part of the above or any other
organization or individual designed to overthrow our Government or
discredit any of the principles upon which it was founded; and he it
further
Resolved, That n copy of these resolutions he presented to the
Annual Congress of the National Society, Sons of the American Invo-
lution, to he held at Hartford, Connecticut, May 17 and 18, 1920, and
that our delegates to such Convention he, and they are hereby, in-
structed to urge the adoption of these or similar resolutions by the
National Society and their publication by the press throughout the
United States.
This will be referred to the Resolutions Committee.

The Chairman: Compatriots, I will ask Dr. Lyman Whitney Allen,
President of the New Jersey Society, to invoke the Divine blessing.
Dr. Au,KN : Our Heavenly Father, we thank Thee that Thou hast
kept us since last we met. Thou hast brought us together again this

be more than ever a blessing to the world. We can do nothing without
Thee. By Thy Spirit's guidance we can do all tilings; and now we
ask thai the Spirit of the living God, the God who has presided over
the councils of this nation, who has guided our fathers and ourselves
in devious ways, for the glory of righteousness, we pray that God by
llis Spirit ma)' bless us today and may we have the wisdom that comes
from above. May everything that is stilish and unholy and not in
accord with the Divine will be put away. May we think this morning
and throughout this day not of self, but of others, May we fling oiir
thoughts and our words and our" emotions into the great trend of Thy
purpose, so that when this Congress is over we shall all go away feeling
that we have served God, that we have been honest and faithful in this
high calling, and wilt Thou bless not only this Congress, but all these
Societies and these States that are represented in this great organiza-
tion, meaning more than it has ever meant before and having such
wonderful opportunities for carrying out the highest ideals of life ami
history. We humbly ask the forgiveness of all our transgressions, and
we would honor and glorify Thee, our God, in the name of Jesus Christ,
the Captain of our Salvation. Amen.

week or ten days ago for copying, and through Mr. Burleson's neglect
or the neglect of some one I haven't received it hack and I have had
to prepare the report largely from memory.
The report is as follows :
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON AMERICANIZATION AND
ALIENS.
To the Animal Congress of the National Society, Sons of the American
Revolution:
Your Committee upon Americanization and Aliens, reporting through
their chairman, hegs leave to present the following report:
This committee, as a committee, conducts its work mainly through
co-operation with other agencies in the various States. In the early
part of April the chairman sent out to the various members of the com-
mittee an inquiry as to the specific Americanization work done by or
activities carried on by similar organizations, with the request as to
recommendations on activities or work of this character which local
or Slate organizations should undertake and their opinion as to the
practicability or desirability of federating the various Americanization
agencies so as to prevent a duplication of effort.
Practically all of the members of this committee have been engaged
during the past year in some form of Americanization work-. The term
is a broad one, hut, generally speaking, pertains to activities tending to
the betterment, the uplift, and the helping of the foreign-born to find
their place in our civic life.
Mr. \V. Lincoln Adams, of the New Jersey Society, reports that the
work' carried on in New Jersey, and particularly referring to his own,
the Alontelair Chapter, consists of having a delegation present at the
courthouse when aliens are naturalized and impressing upon them the
privileges and responsibilities of American citizenship. It also includes
the distribution of patriotic pamphlets on the same subject among the
foreign-born. Before the war that Chapter conducted a headquarters in
the Italian section, where instruction was given in patriotic subjects and
Americanism. This work- was supported by the voluntary contributions
of that Society. Mr. Adams believes that it is highly desirable to con-
federate with any Americanization agencies doing similar patriotic
service-.
Mr. J. 11. Weston, of Dogtown, Miss., reports that their Society has
operated in conjunction with the Daughters of the American Revolution
of New Orleans; that several of their members addressed public meet-
ings and also spoke in public and other schools composed largely of
foreign nationalities, lie recommends that State Societies take active
interest in local and State politics — in local politics to see, as far as they
can, that none but loyal Americans are elected to public office, and in
State legislatures to see that laws are passed protecting all .American
institutions and to counteract all Bolshevistic and 1. W. \Y. agitation.
lie does not favor federation with other American organizations ex-
cepting the Daughters of the American Revolution and thinks that the
Daughters of the American Revolution and Sons of the American
Revolution are large enough and powerful enough to make their in-
fluence felt wherever they are united.
Mr. Frank 15. Hale, of North Dakota Society, reports that on his
own responsibility he mailed from his office six thousand copies of The
American's Creed to the public school teachers of the State of North
Dakota. Mis Society is endeavoring to put large illuminated copies of
the creed in the courts of the State and on the walls of the school-
158
SONS ()!•' Till 1 ) AMKK1CAN l<KV<)I,UTl()N
houses. Copies of the creed were used in the public schools on what
is called Children's Home Day, a day set apart in North Dakota by the
Government and the Superintendent of Public Instruction for the
offering of the public school children for the work of the North Dakota
Children's Home Society. Ue states that the Scottish Rite Masons are
carrying on educational work in the night schools of the cities and towns
and are co-operating with the Sons of the American Revolution in
financing the movement for the spread of the creed. Mr. Hale does
not see how it is practicable to federate the different societies. He
thinks there are many of the secret societies that would be glad to enter
into this work on their own responsibility, but would not care to
federate.
Mr. Samuel Judd Holmes, of Washington, reports that the work of
preparing aliens for citizenship is carried on with the co-operation of
the State government. Many schools teach English, some confining the
Work to preparing the alien for naturalization. About seventy schools
throughout the State are doing special work for foreigners. He reports
that the Y. M. C. A. seems to he most active in this work in Seattle.
He enclosed several clippings showing that much interest was being
taken in this subject in Washington'. Mr. Holmes does not see that it
is practicable to federate these organizations at the present time, lie
thinks that our State Societies should continue on in the work of
pressing the teaching of English, and that our form of government
should he taught to the alien; that talks to these English classes by
representative nun should be arranged.
Mr. Prank B. Steele, of the Buffalo Chapter, reports that this organi-
zation is co-operating with the public schools in Buffalo, and that Buffalo
has an unusually line system of free night schools, and that the work of
teaching foreigners to speak, read, and write the English language is
there carried on in the most, practicable and comprehensive manner.
The dramatic method is used a great deal and is very successful. He
reports that the Buffalo Community Chorus, which has held "sings" in
all parts of the city, has brought many of the Polish, Italian, and other
nationalities together on a common ground of fellowship, lie states
that at no time has this work been needed more than now.
Dr. Samuel D. Barnes, of Bos Angeles, reports that the work in Bos
Angeles is carried on largely by the Sons of the American Revolution.
Thomas Stephen Brown, Esq., of Pittsburgh, reports activities carried
on in co-operation with the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of
Education. The State Society and local chapter in Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh were responsible for large meetings in connection with the
observance of Constitution Day.
The Chamber of Commerce of Pittsburgh is very active and ener-
getic on the subject of Americanization of aliens, and the Sons of the
American Revolution is closely affiliated with the work of that com-
mittee. At the suggestion and under the impulse of a committee of the
Sons of the American Revolution, the Board of Education of that city
maintains a special course of night classes for the education of for-
eigners, and a special feature of that course is instruction in the
essentials and elements of citizenship. The Federal court recognizes
the work of this committee and these schools ami strongly influences,
althouglvit cannot be said to absolutely require, persons who are in-
tending to apply for their second papers of naturalization to attend
these courses. Every year, on Washington's Birthday, as in Rochester
and some other cities, graduation exercises are held, in which the aliens
who are applying for naturalization and have completed the course of
instruction in these schools are formally graduated and given certifi-
cates from the public-school authorities. This year there were over 130
PROCEEDINGS OF HARTFORD CONGRESS; 1 59
graduates receiving certificates. Mr. Brown strongly favors co-ordina-
tion, if riot federation, of the different agencies working along Ameri-
canization lines.
Mr. Alfred Coit, of New London, reports for Connecticut that in his
opinion federating of Americanization agencies should be done by all
means, this plan being carried out in New London with happy results.
They have a paid director, Mr. John C. Ellis, a machinist, a strong
lahor-union man, and a natural-horn leader, I quote from a recent
resume by Mr. L C His of his work:
"The activities of Americanization in this city, have, I think, resulted
in much good. 1 was appointed director of Americanization ahout
November 1, 1010, and since then have been actively engaged in the
work.
"The program outlined was as follows: Letters were sent to various
bodies and a central committee appointed. At the first meeting ward
committees were selected and a Survey made of the city. Shops were
visited and their co-operation solicited, with the result that the attend-
ance of the aliens at the public evening schools was largely increased
and our records show that in six weeks these men were able to speak
English and understand the rudiments of writing. If any of them
remained away from school for a week their employer was communi-
cated with, which resulted in a very regular attendance, which averaged
65 per cent of enrollment. As to the number that took out their first
papers, I have no way of ascertaining, because of the fact that the clerk
of courts resided in Xorwieh and a great many letters to him were
written by the aliens personally. Of course, the frightful weather of
I'Ybruary interfered with the attendance, and .later the scarcity of work
reduced the alien attendance.
'In the shop visits made by me and talk's to the employees vocational
education was strongly advocated, which added to the list of night-
school pupils. The Y. M. C. A. and the State Hoard of Education
both gave instruction in" this line of education with great success.
"Illustrated lectures were given by the writer on the formation of
our country from the colonial settlements to the inauguration of
Washington to exemplify what true Americanization is. The success
of these talks c.vcccdi'd my expectations, and I would recommend a like
Course in any community.
"I am of the opinion that the activities of the Americanization Com-
mittee, which was made up of all classes of people, including local
labor leaders, has resulted in keeping out agitators, for up to the
present time we have h.id no trouble in our industrial life, with no evi-
dence of any in sight. I have often stated in my shop talks that 'if we
do not obey our laws, how can we expect the alien to do it? If we
have the greatest country on earth and want all aliens to become citizens,
we must set the example by our own conduct.
"An international exhibition was given on May 7, 8, and 0, at which
time all kinds of handicraft work were shown, with an entertainment
appropriate to the occasion. This brought the different nationalities
together and will help to allay the feeling which, to some extent, still
exists between the' people of the contending countries,
"Americanization is not alone intended for the foreigners, but also
for ourselves. We must try to break down the wave of personal self-
ishness "that is sweeping over our country and try to bring back the
spirit of helpfulness that existed during colonial days. Co-operation
made the United States what it is, and if it is not again made a vital
force in this country it will mean disaster to all of us."
Mr. Coit also writes that during the war a committee of twenty-four
was formed to prevent profiteering in rents, lie goes on to say:
i6o
SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
"Probably the best tiling about the committee was the fact that only
two of us were lawyers. This same John C. Ellis was chairman. Hun-
dreds of landlords and tenants came before us, usually without any at-
torney, and in half the cases they agreed as to the amount of rent at
the end of the hearing.
"Where we decided that less rent should be charged, that was done.
Really we went back to the time of the patriarchs, when causes were
decided outside the city gate. Justice was done speedily and freely."
Seattle, Detroit, Buffalo, Toledo, Syracuse, Rochester, Albany, and scores
of other communities are keenly alive to the Americanization problem.
Many of those cities are making large appropriations for the work,
notably Detroit and Syracuse. A feature of the work has been the
formation of inter-racial councils, where the different nationalities have
representation in community committees dealing with problems con-
cerning the foreign-born. In many cities homeland exhibitions have
been held. Probably the most notable one was held in Rochester, April
lO-tQ, 1920, the object being, as announced by a committee of citizens
oi foreign and native birth co-operating with the Rochester Chamber of
Commerce and the Regents of the University of the State of New York :
"First, to open the eyes of our citizens of American birth to the great
value to us and America of our citizens of foreign birth and descent, by
giving us an adequate conception of the culture and life of their home-
lands and the contribution which these people have made to the country
of their adoption ; second, to make clear to our citizens of foreign birth
that their contributions and those of their homelands to the prosperity
and happiness of this country are most highly appreciated by all
citizens."
The attendance at the exhibition was estimated at from 10,000 to
15,000 per night (for ten nights). Entertainment features by eleven
different racial groups were given — a different program each night.
About five hundred people, all foreign-born or descended, took part in
these entertainments. The entertainments consisted of chorus singing,
instrumental music, tableaux, and dancing. Exhibits were shown from
seventeen nationalities. During the afternoons programs of folk danc-
ing and singing were given by the children of the foreign-born from
all the public and parochial schools. All pupils of the public schools,
from the fifth grade up, were taken to the exhibition; 41,600 children
in all attended. The expense of the undertaking, amounting to $15,000,
was underwritten by industrial and mercantile firms of Rochester. With
the exception of the large tapestries, all of the exhibits were from
Rochester. Practically all participants in entertainments were residents
of Rochester.
Tt was a great pleasure to mingle with the crowds that thronged this
exhibition, and the results for good which will flow from this and
similar efforts cannot be estimated. Rochester, as a result, is to fed-
erate its Americanization activities and provide a ivni] of about $15,000
per annum as a start, having a central bureau — a clearing-house for all
Americanization activities.
The Department of the Interior has a bureau which is devoted to the
fostering of Americanization work. It monthly publishes "Americani-
zation," which can be secured by all agencies interested.
While in some localities a federation of organizations engaged in
this^jnost important work may not seem desirable, yet your committee
respectfully submits that so far as practicable this be done, and that if
efforts are zealously made by representative local committees appro-
priations can be secured in many localities from the local administration
for organizing and advancing the work. Where this is not possible,
philanthropic citizens and industrial and mercantile firms will freely
respond to appeals for furthering practicable work.
PROCEEDINGS 01-" IIARTl'OKD COXCRlvSS. 1 6 1
You have already heard from reports made to this Congress, of the
fine work accomplished through the efforts of members of our organi-
zation in Colorado, Massachusetts, and elsewhere.
A most important hill affecting Americanization work is now pending
before Governor Smith, of New York, and likely to receive his ap-
proval. The legislatures of other States and local boards are keenly
alive to the importance of this constructive and important work.
The stranger who is within our gates is entitled to consideration from
thoughtful and patriotic citizens. No organization should respond more
quickly than this and kindred patriotic organizations. We must differ-
entiate between the handful, comparatively speaking, of anarchists and
Bolshevists and the great army of foreign-born who are intensely
loyal and quick to condemn any who dishonor our institutions and our
flag.
It is probable that no single organization has so many and so large
a proportion of its members engaged in this wonderful uplifting and
patriotic work as ours. Let us not be content until just as many of us
are doing this work as are real patriots. Nothing will more quickly-
make a patriot than activity in this absorbingly important work.
Respectfully submitted,
Harvey F. Remington.
The Chairman: This report will go to the Committee on Reports.
This, I believe, completes the report of officers and committees. I

The Chairman: 1 1 us any one. anything to offer under the head of
New Business ?
Mr. Doyus (President of the Ohio State Society): 1 wish to state
that at a meeting of the Ohio Society last winter a communication
was received from the Kentucky Society in reference to certain seditions
propaganda that was industriously -circulated all over the country, and
the suggestion there was made that the matter be brought before the
National Congress. As a result, we have prepared this brief resolution,
which 1 will read, and 1 suppose it will be referred immediately to the
Committee on Resolutions :
Believing that the preaching of sedition in its various forms must be
firmly suppressed if our present constitutional government is to endure;
and
Believing further that the primary cause of most of the social unrest
has been the lack of adequate control of immigration, be it
Resolved, That the National Society, Sons of the American Revolu-
tion, urge upon its representatives in Congress the necessity of provid-
ing such additional legislation as will put upon the immigrant the burden
of proof to show that lie will he a reasonably desirable addition to
America, and to further provide means by which he may be promptly
deported should his subsequent conduct indicate that he is undesirable.
Resolved, further, That the National Society, Sons of the American
Revolution, the Daughters of the American Revolution, Daughters of
the Confederacy, and the National Federation of Women's Clubs, and
all other patriotic bodies, through their various State organizations, be
asked to co-operate in this movement by passing suitable resolutions
and writing to their representatives in Congress, to the end that sound
laws ma}' be passed for the control of immigration.
The Chairman: This will go to the Committee on Resolutions. Any-
thing further?
Mr. NNttinc, (President of the Massachusetts Slate Society): As
you all Know, the great event of next year is to be the commemoration
of the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the Lauding of the Pilgrims.
It offers a great opportunity to this Society to be identified with the
permanent work that is to go on at Plymouth. The National Govern-
ment is to expend upwards of $300,000 there and the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts is to expend a like sum of $300,000 or more raxing
buildings, which have grown up around the location of the old Rock-
like barnacles on the bottom of a ship, and the scenery is to be restored
there. Houses that have been there for centuries are to be demolished,
and roads that now run over the graves of the .original settlers of
Plymouth are to be removed and the graveyards restored. A magnifi-
cent work is to be done there, a work of permanence and of value, and
the privilege of this Society of becoming identified in some way and
placing itself on record as backing up that movement is a real one and
a valuable one, and accordingly, Mr. President and Compatriots, I
wish to offer the following motion:
I move that the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolu v
tion appoint a committee, to be known as the Pilgrim Tercentenary Com- *
PJIOCI&gBfNttS <)l : II AUTl-'OKI) (X)N.GKlvSS. 163
mittee, to investigate into and determine the advisability, as its share
in the permanent enrichment of Plymouth, Massachusetts, in honor of
the ,300th anniversary of the Landing of the Pilgrims, of erecting in
Plymouth either a bronze bas-relief or a bronze tablet of, or in honor
of, General James Warren, bearing a concise statement of his achieve-
ments and the words "Erected by the National Society of the Sons of
the American Revolution," the intention being to have the memorial
which may be decided upon by this committee made and erected under
the direction of this committee during the year 1920, if possible, or, if
not then, as early as may be in tqji, in which year the actual celebration
will take place. The said committee is hereby given full power in the
matter, including the selection of the design and the location and also
the making and electing of the proposed memorial to General James
Warren at Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The Chairman : This also will go to the Chairman of the Committee
on Resolutions.
REPORT OK COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Pkakdsi.iCv (Chairman of the Resolutions Committee): May I
get rid of these before Mr. Humphrey speaks? Mr. President General,
we have before us a preamble, with accompanying resolution, which
emanated from the Maryland Society. We approve of the preamble
and we recommend the adoption of the accompanying resolution.
The motion was seconded and adopted.
We next wish to report that we have from the Massachusetts Society
a petition which they voted to present to the Congress, with accompany-
ing resolution. We approve the petition and we recommend the adop-
tion of the accompanying motion.
The motion was seconded and adopted.
We have a resolution, which came to us very late and we hardly had
time to consider it, relative to the increasing of salaries of teachers of
the public schools. We approve of it and we ask that the matter be
referred to the Congress, and that they take action upon it.
The adoption of the resolution was moved by Mr. Ely, duly seconded
and carried.
The resolution, as submitted by Compatriot Walter C. Morris, of the
Empire State Society, is as follows:
WhKkKas education is the foundation and salvation of our institu-
tions ; therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the Sons of the American Revolution, in National
Congress assembled, give our hearty support and co-operation to the
teachers of the public schools in their endeavors to obtain sufficient
compensation to attract the best brains of the country to this noble
profession, as we realize that the public school system of this country
has done and is doing more for pure Americanism than any other
factor.
Mr. Stkki.k, of the Empire State Society: Along that line— I didn't
know the gentleman was to present that resolution— but T happen to be
Secretary of the Committee on the Tercentenary Celebration at Buffalo
](')4 SONS 01? TIM; AMIvlilA'AN KlCVOMJTK) N .
and there is a committee in New York now who are carrying out some
such project as that this year. We have with us today Mr. A. B.
Humphrey, who is Secretary of that National Committee, and I ask
the indulgence of the Society for about five minutes, so that he can
tell what they are doing along that line. 1 ask your indulgence for a
few minutes to grant Mr. Humphrey the privilege of the floor, and J
so move.
Motion (July seconded and carried.
Mr. Humphrey: Mr. President General and Compatriots, the Mo-
hammedan turns to Mecca and the Jew to Jerusalem, so those of us
who come from the old New England stock naturally look to New Eng-
land. I am back at the home of my ancestors. The first Humphrey
settled in the Connecticut Valley nearly 300 years ago. Six genera-
tions are buried within sight of the capital tower. I am here today
with a double pleasure. It is worth coming 1,000 miles to look into the
faces of the men who helped to make the Government of the United
States. I am proud of this occasion, proud of my ancestry, proud of
my country, and as 1 look into your earnest faces I feel that it is an
inspiration and a hope, particularly for those of us who live in New
York and have that great immigration problem before us day by day.
I represent the great institution which is the successor to the Cele-
bration Committee organized ten years ago to celebrate 100 years of
peace between the United States and Great Britain. The war inter-
fered with that celebration, as you know, and we then incorporated
the Sulgrave Institution — named Sulgrave because Sulgrave Manor, in
England, is the old home of Washington, and in the arch or gable of
the old Sulgrave Manor is the Washington coat of arms, from which
Betsy Ross got the idea of the Stars and Stripes. The old stone is
there today, and the women of England during the war raised $60,000
and bought the old Sulgrove Manor House and presented it to the
American people as a token of good will. That's something that we all
appreciate.
This Sulgrave Institution Committee began a few weeks ago to
organize for the celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of
American Institutions, and 1 want to second and commend the motion
of the gentleman from Massachusetts with reference to the steps taken
there.
We have called together about seventy organizations to participate in
this Three Hundredth Anniversary, including your Order and the
Daughters of the American Revolution and 68 others. That includes a
membership of about T5,ooo,(XX). We are beginning on the 2d,. 3d, and
4th of June in the schools, which are the foundation and bulwalk of
our institutions, and Commissioner Kiulev, of the State of New York,
has issued a printed Bulletin for the use of the teachers in rdl the
schools of the United States. Commissioner Claxtou, at Washington,
helped to distribute those; so that 697,000 teachers on the 2d, y], and
PROCEEDINGS ()L> JJAKTl-OKU CONGKKSS. 1 6$
4th of June will begin the inslruetion of the history of this celebration,
beginning- with the children.
1 heard in Buffalo the other day when I was there of a little Italian,
a harefooted newsboy, who stopped suddenly on the street when he saw
a foreigner of a big nation using an old ragged Hag, a United States
flag, for cleaning the window, lie rushed up to him, grabbed his arm,
and pulled it down and said, ''You can't do it — my Hag — me no 'low."
(Applause.) He ran to the nearest corner and took a policeman and
forced that great big, stalwart fellow to go to court and made him
salute and apologize for disgracing the American Hag. (Applause.)
That's the spirit, and you dear fellows who are full of this are every
one of you ministers of the Gospel along this line.
Our institution intends not only to have the celebration in Massa-
chusetts, but we are going down to Norfolk and carry some good old
Pilgrim doctrines down to Jamestown, and we will bring back some of
the old Cavalier spirit, and we will all try to be Americans as we were
in the last war. We are together and we are all fighting the same thing.
We are invited to send a delegation to England, and we are going to
be received in England, the Sons of the American Revolution and the
Daughters, and they are going to escort us over the route the Pilgrims
took and take us over to Holland. In Holland we will be the guests
of the Netherlands Government — no matter whether there are ioo or
200, we are invited to be their guests, and if necessary, and we can't get
transportation any other way, an official boat of the Holland Govern-
ment wilj see thai we get bade to New York along the same route that
the Pilgrims took and be landed in Plymouth Harbor. (Applause.)
Now, that is the proper spirit that the Sons of the American Revolution
and the good old American stock have got to get into, not only the
State game and the New England game and the Southern game and the
Western game, but the International game. Civilization is now at stake,
and we of the old stock who have helped to bring the Government into
existence must see to it, gentlemen, that as long as we live we will do
our part, and we will leave to the youngsters the same idea that my
ancestors fired me with, and I am here today out of respect for their
memory and love and veneration for what they handed down to me
and mine, and so long as I live T will give what I can to help perpetuate
it, and 1 know you will do it, every one of you, to a man and a woman.
T thank you. (Applause.)
The Chairman: Is Compatriot North, of California, here?
A MUMBER: He has gone home, Mr. President General.
Mr. BiCARDSU'V (Chairman of the Resolutions Committee) : Mr. Presi-
dent General, the Committee on Resolutions wishes to submit two ad-
ditional reports. The first is on the resolution of former President
Doyle, of the Ohio Society. The Committee on Resolutions highly en-
dorses it, although it is supplemental to one we recommended before,
and our regret' is that the Congress hasn't time to hear some of the very
1 66 sons' of rin-; America^ revolution.
able men that are with us to express their sentiments upon this reso-
lution. We move its adoption.
The motion was duly seconded and carried.
The Committee on Resolutions wishes to report on the resolution of
President Nutting, of the Massachusetts Society. They heartily approve
it and hope that it might result in the committee being able to procure
for us an adequate participation in the Tercentenary Anniversary, and
that we may leave the impress of our Society afterward upon it. We
move its adoption.
The motion was duly seconded and carried.
The Chairman': I have just received a communication in the form
of a resolution, which has been adopted by the California Society. It
has just' come to the desk' and I would like to refer it to the Resolutions
Committee.
INVITATIONS FOR XKXT CONGRESS.
Mr. Netting: Mr. President, 1 do not know whether I am at the
correct point in the procedure or not, but 1 wish to take advantage of
this opportunity to. extend, on behalf of the Massachusetts Society,
Sons of the American Revolution, again the invitation which I trust
every one here has already thoroughly understood, that the old lias-
State Society expects and wishes to have the honor of entertaining the
National Congress of the Sons of the American Revolution in iq_>i. 1
would like to say a word or two in regard to the time of holding it.
Of course, ] understand that the petition of the Arkansas Society in
regard to changing the date will come before the Congress later on;
hut, as I understand, the matter is already in shape, so that, as
was done in Portland, the date can he set at any time that may he
desired to hold it. We would like to call your attention to the fact
that the improvements which are to he made, being in the nature of
permanent improvements, will probably not he in shape satisfactory for
inspection by the delegates to the Congress before the middle, or per-
haps a little after the middle, of the summer of iQ2f ; and in extending
this invitation for the Congress of [921 to he held at Boston, we would
also like to ask that whatever arrangements may be made it be under-
stood that the Congress shall be held, perhaps, in the latter part of
August, or at least as late as it can be held, so that everything may
be in the best possible condition, and that the delegates may carry
away an impression of old Plymouth as nearly as possible as it was
when our ancestors landed there and made the settlement. 1 think
there is to he, in addition to the permanent improvements, a pageant
which is going to he taken by the films and will afterwards be exhibited
rdl over the country. That is something which is going to he an educa-
tional work of the highest value, and, as 1 understand, will go all over
the country, and for that reason we are very anxious that the Congress .
shall not he held until such time as all these arrangements are in per-
PROCEEDINGS OL< UAkTl'Okl) CONGRESS. 1 67
feet condition, so that you delegates in going away may carry the best
and the truest possible impression of the plaee and see everything that
is to be provided at that time in honor of that celebration. (Applause.)
The Chairman: 1 would like to invite Vice-President General Thomas
\V. Williams to the chair to receive the invitations to the next Congress.
Vice-President General Williams assumed the chair amid applause.
The Chairman: It is a great honor, Mr. President.
Mr. STi'Ki.K, of Buffalo: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, in iQOcS the
Congress met in Buffalo under rather unfavorable circumstances, it
was then held on the 30th of April, and those gentlemen that were
there at that time will remember the wonderful snow-storm we greeted
you with. I think that was really the reason we changed the date until
the middle of May. And now Buffalo is in its glory, as is Hartford.
Last year, in Detroit, when no one seemed to care to have the Congress
for 1920, although it had been intimated that our good friends from
Boston wanted it at that time, Buffalo stepped into the breach and
offered to take care of the Congress in 1020. For reasons that seemed
good to the Executive Committee, we were passed on at that time, and
Hartford is now giving this delightful entertainment we are having
at the present time. Buffalo is ready again in 192 1 and wants the
Congress to come to Buffalo. You that were there in 1908 remember,
in spite of the snow-storm, that you had rather a warm time in our
greeting, and there are a few gentlemen today whom 1 meet occasionally
and hear them say that Buffalo gave one of the most delightful cele-
brations we ever had. Of course, Buffalo is an attractive city. We
have there probably, as many of you know, next to the largest Chapter
in the United States of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and
Mrs. John Millar Morton told me before I left that the greeting of
that great Chapter would be for you when you came and their hospi-
tality would be extended to you. Then we have in Buffalo or near
Ruffalo — we call it part of Buffalo— the wonderful Niagara Falls. I
don't doubt at all that there are some gentlemen in this audience
and possibly some of their families who have never been to Niagara
Falls, and it would be a great attraction for you to come to Niagara
Falls, ft might be well to give you a little of our history. We have
some history out there, although we are the beginning of the Middle
West. The word Niagara is On-ge-ce-ra, meaning rushing waters —
and the rushing waters are there. We will see that they are turned
on properly when you get there, so that you will see them going over
in all their glory.
Besides that, T have with me here greetings first from the City of
Buffalo to the officers and delegates:
City o-p Buwai,o, Mayor's Opitci?, April 29, 1920.

C.KNTi.rvMKN ; Because a visit to this city will give you an opportunity

great pleasure to me, as Mayor of the city, to extend to your organiza-
tion a most cordial invitation to hold your next convention in Buffalo.
I am confident that you will find our hotel accommodations, trans-
portation facilities, and the opportunities for entertainment wholly
satisfactory, and that you will never have any occasion to regret the
acceptance of this invitation.
Personally, I will be glad to assist in any way I can to make your
Buffalo meeting a notable success.
Very truly yours, GEORGE S. Buck,
Mayor.
I also have a very cordial invitation from our Chamber of Com-
merce :
BUI-1'AL.O ClIAMlilvR Oi' CoMMl'KCIv,
Oi'L'icii ol- Tin-; Pkksilh'NT, April jo, 1920.
To the Officers and Delcyates of the Sons of the American Revolution,
in Session ut Hartford.
GentuCmun : Wishing everybody to have a better understanding and
appreciation of Buffalo, both as a manufacturing and commercial city
and as a delightful place in which to live, it is a pleasure to me, as
President of the Chamber of Commerce, to invite your organization to
come to Buffalo for its next convention. This Chamber of Commerce,
with nearly 3,500 members, includes in its membership all of the im-
portant manufacturing, business, and professional interests of the city.
You will find unexcelled accommodations in our hotels, with splendid
meals and excellent service. This city is easily and conveniently reached
from any section of the country and also is accessible in the summer
time by steamship lines plying the Great Lakes and affording a pleasant
diversion from railroad travel. Improved highways radiate in all direc-
tions and with smoothly paved asphalt streets afford splendid facilities
for auto tourists.
Niagara Falls, a demonstration of the forces of Nature unsurpassed
in all the world and marvelous in its scenic beauty, is only a short dis-
tance from this city and is easily accessible by train, trolley, or auto-
mobile. No matter what your particular interests may be, you will find
something here of value to entertain you.
Assuring you that we will be delighted to have you accept this invi-
tation and the hospitality of Buffalo, including the free use of any
accommodations you may require for your meetings, I am
Very truly yours,
BuL'i'Ai.o Chamber 01? Commerce.
Edward S. Koons, President.
Now, we are here to get that convention next year. We don't ask
you at all to change the date. We think the weather in Buffalo will be
all right at that time. We want you to come. We want you there.
We will open our hearts to you and our homes, and T can say that 1
have the united support of the Kmpirc State Society back of me in
asking you to come to Buffalo, and we will do the best we can to give
you a good time. The waters of the Niagara — On-ge-ee-ra — the spirit
of the waters, is waiting for you to come there. Come to us and we
will see that" you have a splendid lime. (Applause.)
The CHAIRMAN: Mr. Steele, we thank you for this very cordial in-
vitation. It will take the usual course and be referred to the Board
of Trustees for action.
PROCKKhlNGS OF HAKTI'OKI) CON c'.KI- SS. 1 (hj
Mr. Wicirr (New Jersey) : I have a resolution to offer, Mr. Chairman,
and if it be the pleasure of the Congress J was going to ask that the
resolution be acted upon, by the Congress itself at this time, simply
to expedite the matter, without reference to the Committee on Resolu-
tions; but I notice that the committee is reporting very promptly, so if
action can Lie had without delay 1 would not object to its going before
that committee. In order that there may be the greatest freedom in
voting, as is the right of every American and in accordance with the
principles of this Society especially, T offer this resolution, that in voting
for the officers of the general .Society the voting shall be by individual
ballot only, and J wish to say that, so far as New Jersey is concerned,
New Jersey stands heartily and unanimously in favor of always voting
by the individual ballot when the voting is to be by ballot. Now we
do not think that this will interfere in any way at all with any State
Society or organization which may have agreed to vote as a unit, be-
cause we take it for granted that certainly in most instances, if the
Societies have agreed to vote by unit, it is because they have all agreed
on how they will vote; but it may be, and T believe it is, the case, that
with some of our State Societies there are those who have differences
of opinion. We believe they should be allowed to express their opinion—
that is, they should vote as they care to vote, as they feel they ought to
vote — and therefore New Jersey asks that this resolution be adopted.
A MEMBER: T second that resolution and ask that it be passed by
unanimous consent without reference to the committee. The motion
was unanimously adopted, amid applause.
The Chairman: Are there any further invitations for the next Con-
gress? We will be very glad to receive such at this time if there are
any. (No response.)
President General Jenks resumed the chair.
The Chairman: Is there any further report from the Committee on
Resolutions?
Mr. Rkakmsi.KV (Chairman of ihe Resolutions Committee) : Mr. Presi-
dent General, we have before us a resolution which originated with
the California Society. I wish that the Secretary General might read it.
Secretary General Lamer then read the resolution, which is as fol-
lows :
San Francisco, Caete., May 5, 1920.
At the meeting of the Board of Managers of the California Society
of the Sons of the American Revolution, May 3, 1920, the following
resolutions were adopted unanimously :
"Whereas grave clangers appear to threaten the Republic at this time,
from within our own midst, arising out of the avowed purpose of
organized Communists, Socialists. F. W. W.'s, Red Radicals, .and others.,
to the number, as we are advised by tin- Department of Justice, of more
than two millions of persons, to destroy this Government; and
''WHEREAS these traitorous persons have announced that they intend,
by continual agitation among .all classes of people, and particularly the
laboring classes, to foment discontent and unrest and to supplant the
institutions founded by our forefathers, and nourished by the sacrifices
170 SONS OF TMM AMERICAN RKVO-I^UTION.
and the hlood of millions of patriotic Americans, with a Soviet Govern-
ment modeled after that proclaimed by Nicolai Lenine in Russia; and
"VViiKkKAS, in addition to the destruction of the Government, they
propose to supplant the Stars and Stripes with the red flag of revolu-
tion, rapine, and murder; to destroy the Constitution; to abolish law
and the law courts; to tear down our churches and to nationalize our
women ; and
'AV 11 Km: as the Department of Justice at Washington has appealed to
all loyal Americans to aid it in its efforts to awaken the Nation to the
peril that lies today at our door; therefore be it
"Resolved, That the California Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution pledges itself to aid, by all means in its power, in dissem-
miuating' among the people of this land a knowledge of the existence of
this threatened attack upon the institutions and the liberties of our
country, and to awaken in them a true sense of the necessity of pre-
paring to combat and crush it to the earth ; and be it further
"Resolved, That the Secretary of this Society be, and he is hereby,
instructed to communicate with the National Society, Sons of the
American Revolution, and the other State Societies and request them to
take similar action in the premises. Be it further
"Resolved, That we believe that the present propaganda directed
against the courts and judiciary of the United States, and having for
its purpose the changing of the method of selecting judges of the United
States courts, so that they shall become elective, and hence subject
to all the evils of a judiciary involved in personal political activities,
constitutes a menace to our form of government, tending to destroy
the balance of power established by the Constitution of the United
States. Be it still further
"Resolved, That the Secretary of this Society be, and he is hereby,
instructed to communicate with the National Society and the other
State Soeicties of the Sons of the American Revolution rind, request
them to take appropriate action looking Inward the prevention of such
proposed changes."
A Mi;m ih;k : 1 move the adoption of that resolution.
The motion was duly seconded and adopted.
The CHAIRMAN: Is there any other business under the head of New
Business?
Mr. W ATKINS (Massachusetts): ] wish to offer a vote of thanks to
the Connecticut Society for their hospitality to tin's Congress. T also wish
to take the opportunity of showing Massachusetts-' appreciation of that
hospitality by returning to Connecticut this sera]) of paper. A scrap
of paper doesn't mean much on some occasions, but this does. These
are two muster rolls of a company of Connecticut militia that have
been in Massachusetts for 1^0 years. We think they ought to come
back to Connecticut and we wish the President General to return them
to the Connecticut Society. (Applause.) My motion is for a vote of
thanks to the Connecticut Society for their hospitality.
The motion was duly seconded.
'flu- CHAIRMAN: Gentlemen, you have heard the motion. All in favor
of that motion sigmfy by rising. (Unanimous response and Applause.)
The vote of thanks is unanimously adopted.
The Chairman: Compatriot Vice-President General Burgess, I will
ask you to receive the report of the Committee on Official Reports.

Vice-President General Burgess assumed the chair.
The Chairman: Is the committee ready to report?
Mr. W AKKKii'Xn : Compatriots, as chairman of the Committee on
Official Reports, I beg to report that we have gone over the reports of
the various officials and of the various reports that are made by the
Secretary General, Treasurer General, etc., and find them in proper
form, and ask that they lie received and filed. 1 so move. (Applause.)
.. The motion was duly seconded and carried.
President General Jenks resumed the chair.
The Chairman: Is there anything further under the head of New
Business ?
Mr. P\rk.f,k: [ won't take much time, gentlemen, hut on behalf of the
Banquet Committee 1 wish to announce that this banquet starts at 7 p. m.,
and 7 p. m. means 7 p. m. The delegates and ladies are requested to
be in their places at 7 o'clock sharp. It is not infrequently the case at
banquets that 7 o'clock means 7.15 or 7*30, but in this case we ask you
to be in your places at 7 o'clock- sharp and you will aid the Banquet
Committee very much. (Applause.)
The Chairman: The Secretary General has a matter to communicate.
Secretary General LarnKr: Compatriots, there has been some question
and difficulty in the matter of presenting the War Service Medals.
There have been a great many instances where individual members of
Our organization have communicated with the Secretary General and
requested that medals be sent them, which was impossible, owing to
the rule adopted by the Kxtcutivc Committee. We have had two re-
quests for medals to be bestowed here at this session by the President
General. One comes from the Indiana State Society, which asks that
a medal be conferred Upon Compatriot Lieutenant Rudolf F. I\.
Wiedemann, of the Indiana Society. I have sent to Washington for
some of the medals and we have one for him. 1 also have a request
that a medal be conferred on Rev. Jesse Penny Martin, who was
captain and chaplain in the 1571I1 Infantry in iTancc.
The Chairman: What is the pleasure of the Congress with reference
to these applications?
It was moved and seconded that here and now the War Service Medal
be conferred upon the two Compatriots mentioned. Motion carried.
The Chairman: 1 will ask the Compatriots to come forward.
Captain Martin went to the platform amid applause.
The Chairman : Is Compatriot Wiedemann, of the Indiana Society,
here? We cannot decorate him in his absence. (No response.)
Mr. Watkins: Mr. President General, can't the medal be conferred
this evening, at the banquet?
The Chairman: The motion is that it be conferred here and now.
The Chairman at this time bestowed the War Service Medal upon
Capt. Jesse P. Martin. Members arise and applaud.
The Chairman: Compatriot Jesse Penny Martin, I like to think of
the splendid position which the younger sons of the American Pevolu-
72
SONS 01- TIM; AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
tion who took part in this late war occupy upon the stage of history.
In a certain high sense they clasp hands with their patriotic forefathers
in a unity of purpose, of valor, of achievement. Their forefathers
fought to establish liberty, and they fought an equally winning war
that that liberty so established might continue, that civilization might
not recede into barbarism, that chivalry might not disappear from
among the springs of human action. Nay, Compatriots, more than
that — they fought, Dr. Martin, that the blessed vision of the Christ
might not fade from the tired eyes of men. These younger Sons of the
American Revolution, whom we so proudly call our Compatriots, stand
shoulder to shoulder with the heroes of the Revolution. They wipe out
the intervening years and, standing with them, they shed an inex-
tinguishable luster upon the splendid history of the dominant American
ideal. (Applause.)
Dr. Martin: Mr. President General, Compatriots, and Ladies, 1 am
sure you know 1 am grateful for the courtesy of the morning, and for
the great honor which was mine in having a part in the little disturbance,
which grew to be rather a large family affair, on the other side of the
water; and yet all the time that T was over there, standing as we often
did under the shadow of the tomb of that great Frenchman who came
to our aid a number of years ago, when we needed help pretty badly,
it was a great pleasure, indeed, to feel that the hand that he held out in
distress and his willingness to help found an answer in the cries and
the help of the men of America as they, too, could go marching past
and pay their silent tribute at his tomb and say to him, "We have
come to discharge our obligation to you and to our beloved France."
It was a great pleasure, indeed ; but T have also this thought, and it
ran continuously through my musings on the other side of the water:
it was this: 'That, after all, the great things for which our forefathers
gave their lives and pledged their sacred honor and often imperiled
their personal safety was not in the fact that they were doing these
things to gather them up and hold them for themselves or to hold them
for us; for under the leadership of God, may I say, America has a
peculiarly predestined place for world leadership.
1 do not know whether it occurs to you, upon first thought or hasty
thought, that after all America is the product of the finest wheat after
the winnowings and the fires of persecution in Europe. They came
over here not simply as an curl in itself, to get away from that kind of
thing, but as the best seed to be sown for the. finest harvest, which was
to go out into all parts of the world, so that we, whether it be by
material bread or by splendid men and measures, should feed the
teeming millions of the world ; and so it is our privilege, and that was
our thought. That was the fine, great mission of America, and we
love to think of her as the knight-errant of the 20th century; and so we
hope that nothing will be done — it certainly will not be done by this
glorious Institution, of which we are so proud and to which we give
ourselves so fully and heartily — to undo what has been done. As she
PROCEEDINGS OF HARTFORD CONGRESS. 173
sweeps forward into a cycle of belter years, that hers shall be a record
as clear as the sun, as fair as the moon, and in her conquests of sin,
unrighteousness, and lawlessness, as gloriously terrible as an army
witli banners. Thank you very much. (Applause.)
Mr. Andrews: Compatriots, some of you will remember me as being
in Rochester and presenting to you there The American's Creed. That
American's Creed has gone all over the United States, Alaska, and the
Panama Canal Zone. It has been spread very largely, as we see in
the reports, by the work of the Sons of the American Revolution. But
today I have brought a message from another body of Americans, The
Constitutional League of America. There have been a number of subtle
ami insidious attacks upon the Constitution of the United States, in-
augurated by men of considerable ability, and these attacks have been
spread abroad in a way that we haven't noticed particularly. Not long
ago, or back in December, there was a gathering of men, the most
prominent men of this eountry, and they decided it an important and
good thing to get out what may be called a People's Edition of the
Constitution, to be distributed by the millions of copies. A copy in
every American home is the aim of the organization. I will give you
some of the names of those who are on the National Committee:
Franklin K. Lane, Major General Leonard Wood, Theodore Roosevelt,
Morgan J. O'Brien, James Cardinal Gibbons, Guy Emerson, William
II. Edwards, Charles E. Hughes, A. Mitchell Palmer, Alfred Smith,
Herbert C. Pell, Jr., Bishop Charles S. Burch, Jeremiah W. Jenks,
William B, Marsh, Genera] John J. Pershing, Herbert C. Hoover,
Franklin 0. Roosevelt, William Phillips, Rev, Joseph Silverman, Joseph
Hartigan, and Manny Strauss.
Now, those gentlemen nief together with the idea of getting out a
popular edition of the Cousiitiition, in which the comments on the
Constitution would be based on only the most \ital parts that affect the
life of the every-day citizen, the comments to be used only on the basis
of the comments and teaching used by practical people in getting a
message of self-government to tin- enlisted men in the armies and the
average citizen and workman.
Now, the purpose of this League, or rather what it is— the Constitu-
tional League is a voluntary association of citizens who believe in the
Government of the United States. Its platform: If the people of
America read and understand the Constitution of the United States,
there will be no question of any other form of government for America.
What it proposes to do is to put a copy of the Constitution into every
one of the 20,000,000 homes in America; explain the Constitution by
the spoken word in every public forum; translate the Constitution into
other langu.ages \ explain the Constitution by means of motion-picture
slides and films in the [6,200 motion-picture houses of America.
Now, the distribution: The National Committee has funds on hand
for the distribution of thousands and thousands of these little pamphlets
or booklets on the Constitution. This book is not for sale anywhere.
1 74
SONS 01' TJIIC AMERICAN REVOLUTION
The committee is going to make an appeal to chambers of commerce
and to patriotic organizations everywhere for further distribution in
the various communities, in the various States and various cities of the
country. I won't take any more of your time. That is simply the
message, and 1 have been authorized to bring here to tin's body a
hundred or more copies of this booklet, which may be obtained by
members who wish them. I wish T could have been able to bring more,
but any one who will write to the Constitutional League, at J 22 West
49th Street, may get a copy of this pamphlet, even if the)- can't gel it
here. Thank- you. ( 'Applause.)
The Chairman: We arc very glad to receive the message from Com-
patriot Andrews. Are there any further resolutions of any kind?
lias the Compatriot from Indiana, who is to receive the Service Medal,
returned to the room? (No response.) lie has been constructively
decorated. ( I .aughter.)
Under the head of New Business certain amendments to the Con-
stitution have been proposed. I will hear any resolutions or motions
under that head.
Mr. IIakrv R. Wiu.iams (Connecticut): In the Buu.K'ri.N of this
Association, this Xatioual Society, of March, 1920, our honored Presi-
dent General, among other things, in a message to this Society and t<>
the Compatriots, said: "In nearly every part of the country there is
activity and growth, and an earnest desire to perform efficient patriotic
service is everywhere evident. I earnestly ask the consideration of all
Societies and Chapters to the following suggestions." 1 will not read
them rill, but among other words he said that we are not divided ; we
are all one body; and what our Order needs is nationalization. He
said: "This is*what T wish to emphasize. .Societies and Chapters should
get into closer touch with the National Society. There should be more
correspondence between the State and Chapter officers and the National
officers. The latter invite the active co-operation of the membership
everywhere in promoting the best interests of the organization as a
whole and of the different groups."
T stand here as the representative of more than 1,100 members of the
National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. This Con-
necticut Chapter which i represent, at a legally called meeting, on
February 2,1, 1920, unanimously adopted a proposal to amend the
Constitution of this organization. That amendment, as [ say, was
passed at a full meeting, and, according to the Constitution of this
organization, that adoption and proposal was transmitted to the Secre-
tary General. The Secretary General, according to directions, has
passed it out to every Society more than 60 days prior to this annual
Congress. That being so, all of the legal matters have been strictly
attended to, and, as T say, Connecticut is united in this. What f have
to say on this amendment will he exceedingly brief. Tt does not take
from the President of this organization one single prerogative. It does
not encroach upon his rights in any way. The article proposed to he '
PROCKKDINGS C)1' A IlAU'lTORD CONGRESS. i 75
amended is Section IV of Article V of the Constitution of this organi-
zation. Section IV, Article V, is that "an Executive Committee of
seven, consisting of the President General as Chairman and six mem-
bers, to be nominated by him and approved by the Board of Trustees,
shall in the interim between the meetings of the Board transact such
business as may be delegated to it by a Congress of the Society or the
Board of Trustees. 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 Connecticut Society proposes as an amendment to that the fol-
lowing: At the end of Section IV, Article V, add:- "Each State or
District Society shall file with the. Secretary General, on or before the
Opening of the National Congress each year, the names of two of its
members who reside within the State or district of such Society, and
the President General shall select his nominees to the Executive Com-
mittee, known as Directors General, from the names so filed, and not
more than one member from a Society shall be nominated for such
office by the President General."
This, as I said, does not encroach in any way upon the prerogative
of the President. Il is simply in the nature of a recommendation. It
doesn't even asl< the I 'resident to appoint, but it does say to the Presi-
dent General, "If you are going to appoint a man from our Society, ap-
point a man that is recommended by the Society." Now, gentlemen,
there is only one thing, as far as I can understand, whereby any one
should be tempted to oppose that motion. Any opposition to that
motion, it seems to me, must come froni somebody who is afraid they
can'! be endorsed by (heir own State Society, and we don't wan! in the
Directors General anybody who is not endorsed by their own Society.
(Applause.) I move the passage of this amendment to the Constitu-
tion.
The Chairman: It has been moved that the proposed amendment
to the Constitution be adopted. What is the further pleasure of this
meeting?
The motion was duly seconded.
The Chairman: The motion has been seconded and is before the
house for discussion.
Mr. PowKr.T, (Massachusetts) : While it may be that some of the State
Societies have differences that make it necessary to put some restriction
upon those nominated for Directors General, it would seem to me that
the success of the National Society in the past has been so great and
the working has been so even that it would be rather foolish at this
time to make any change in the Constitution. I therefore move, Mr.
President, that ihe motion be laid on the table.
Mr. TI. P. Wiij.iams (Connecticut) : I rise to a point, of order. The
gentlemen is out of order. Thai is our constitutional right. If we
1/6 SONS Of? Tlllv AMKK1CAN K !• VOJ.UT ION .
even put it on the table, that can be raised again before the session is
over. Let ns have a vote on it. The Constitution says we have done
what we wanted to, what we were required to do, and therefore we
can have a vote on it today.
Mr. WivNTWoKTii : 1 would like to ask the gentleman from Massa-
chusetts to withdraw the motion to lay the motion on the table. 1
think', sir, that it is a very good idea to talk this over.
Mr. PowEkt : Mr. President, 1 desire to withdraw my motion, if
agreeable to everybody.
The Chairman : Does the seconder of the motion consent to its
withdrawal
The seconder consents.
The Chairman: The motion is withdrawn and the question before
the house is the adoption of the resolution. (Cries of, "Question.")
Is there any speaking to the adoption of the proposed amendment?
Mr. WENTWOKTH : Mr. President General, L would like to ask the
gentleman who proposed this constitutional amendment if it was
primarily conceived and is intended as a reflection upon our sitting
President General, upon Past President General Ames, upon every
President General of the National .Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution who have had the unquestioned right, and exercised it, to
select their cabinet? (Applause;)
Mr.' H, R. \Vu.i,iAMS (Connecticut): Absolutely no. It is not a re-
flection on any President General of this Society. Every Past President
General of this Society had a right to do as they have done. Jt is no
reflection of any kind or an}' nature, and I ask if there is to be any
discussion that personalities be left out of it. We will get to the merits
of it. Is there anything objectionable in having the State Society
nominate or suggest to the President who would be appreciable?
(Cries of, "Question.")
The CHAIRMAN: The question is called for. Does any one desire
further to discuss this motion?
Mr. WiCNTWORTH : The thought occurs to my mind, Mr. President
General, that there is a question of doubt in the minds of some of the
Compatriots present in this Congress that at some far-distant date, T
know not when, there may be men gathered in a National Congress of
the Sons of the American Revolution who may select as its official
head a man in whom they have little confidence. 1 don't speak from
any personal feeling in this matter. T have run my race. 1 did as every
other President General of the National Society has done in the years
1 have been a Trustee and the years I have been on the Executive
Committee. I did what every other President General, so far as T know,
has done — 1 selected my Executive Committee with a careful considera-
tion, based upon the personal knowledge which I possessed of the mem-
bers who were interested in the work of the National Society, the men
best fitted, in my judgment, to carry on the great work of the Society
and representative of its broad activities. It has been the policy of V
PROCEEDINGS OF HARTFORD CONGRESS. }JJ
Presidents General to reappoint men who have been particularly valu-
able, with constant infusion of new blood.
1 believe that the continuity of the work of this Society requires not
only that, but that the hands of the President General be left free in
all appointments. 1 have not been approached by any man. I never
was approached. There never was a question, so far as any conference
or any meeting of any portion of this Society or the whole Society,
but "What is for the best interest of the National Society ?" H the
Executive Committee could consist of one member from each State, it
might be a grand thing to have it so; but you would have such an
unwieldy body, separated so widely, that you could not bring them
together.
You all know how impossible it is to bring together a full meeting of
the Hoard of Trustees of the National Society. This means the same
number of men. It doesn't change the numerical representation. It
simply, it seems to me, carries a reflection upon the character or the
capacity and handicaps the liberty and the freedom of action of any man
whom you select for President General. (Applause.) And I will say to
you, sir, not knowing who will be President General next year, or the
year after, or any of the succeeding years, that I do not believe that there
will ever be a man selected by the National Congress of the Sons of the
American Revolution as its President General that you cannot trust
implicitly. ( Applause.)
The Chairman: 1 am going to ask your indulgence to suspend this
matter for a moment. The Secretary General has called my attention
to the fact that the final report of the Credentials Committee has not
yet been presented. It will be presented now with your permission,
The report is printed earlier in these proceedings.
The Chairman: If there is no objection, the report will be received
and filed. Is there any further discussion on -the motion before the
house? All in favor of the adoption of the proposed amendment will
signify by saying ''Aye." (Responses.) Contrary by saying "No."
(Majority response.) The "Noes" seem to have it. Its adoption re-
quires a two-thirds vote. In the absence of any question, the Chair
declares that the motion to adopt the proposed amendment to the
Constitution is lost. Are there any further amendments to be pre-
sented?
Secretary General LARNlyR: The amendments to Section I, Article V,
of the Constitution, proposed by the P.mpire State Society, are as fol-
lows :
The following amendment to Section i, Article 5, of the Constitution
has been proposed by the Kmpirc State Society, the same having been
offered by Past President General Louis Annin Ames, at a meeting of
that Society held at the City Hall. New York City, on Flag Day. June
14, tojo, the offer being seconded by Past President General Marble,
and carried unanimously by the Society, as follows:
To insert, following the words "Historian General," the words
"Genealogist General, Chancellor General," and in the National By-
i 7 8
SONS 01- TJIIC AMERICAN REVOLUTION
Laws change the number of Article r; to Article II, and to insert after
Article 8, Article 0, "Genealogist General," and that reads:
"The Genealogist General shall examine and report to the National
Executive Committee upon all appeals from the decision or want 'of
action of the Registrar General, which shall be submitted to him for
that purpose, within thirty days after submission to him, and shall at
the same time advise the Registrar General of the National' Society,
from whom he received such appeals, of the result of his examination."
Akticuv X — Clninccllur General.
The Chancellor General shall be a lawyer duly admitted to the bar,
and it shall be his duty to give legal opinions on matters affecting the
Society when called upon by the proper officers.
The Chairman: These provide for two new officers — a Chancellor
General and a Genealogist General.
It was moved and seconded that the proposed amendments to the
Constitution be adopted.
The Chairman; Is there any speaking to the motion? (Cries of,
"Question.") The question is called for. All in favor of the adoption
of the proposed amendments to the Constitution will signify it by say-
ing '''Aye'." ("'Responses.) Opposed, by saying "No." (Responses.)
Unless a division is requested, the Chair will declare that the proposed
amendments have received the necessary two-thirds vote.
Both amendments have been adopted.
Secretary General Lakni'.k: There is another proposed amendment
that is not actually offered in the shape of an amendment, but it comes
from the State of Arkansas. It is put in this shape:
Amendment to Section r, Article VII, 01? the Constitution oe the
National Society of the Sons oe the American Revolution.
Whereas Section r, Article VII, of the Constitution of the National
Society of the Sons of the American Revolution provides for the hold-
ing of its annual meeting and Congress on the third Monday of May
of each year ; and
WHEREAS it is believed that a later date would be preferable, so
that one might combine the summer vacation with the annual meeting,
and thus secure a larger attendance for the same; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Arkansas Society of the Sons of the American
.Revolution respectfully suggests to the National Society the propriety
of making a change to a later date of the time of meeting of the
National Congress of the Sons of the American Revolution, and that
we request that the Secretary General shall send to the President
of each Stale Society a sixty days' notice of such proposed alteration,
prior to the meeting of the next Congress, made at the suggestion of the
Arkansas Society.
Adopted at the annual meeting of the Arkansas Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution, February 2r, 10,-0
Thai was considered as a proposed amendment, and 1 sent out the
60-day notices as required by our Constitution.
The Chairman: Although somewhat informal, the Chair rules that
the proposed amendment to the Constitution is properly before this *
Congress for consideration, [s there any motion?
PROOCKDINCS 01- HARTFORD CONGRESS. 1 79
Mr. H. R. Williams (Connecticut) : Mr. Chairman, is that an amend-
ment to the Constitution? An amendment to a Constitution or a paper
of any kind must he definite.
The Chairman: Not necessarily. Under the notice, this Congress
may make such change in the date. of the congresses as seems expedient.
Mr. Williams: That is more of a by-law than a constitutional amend-
ment.
The Chairman: Well, if it is a by-law it is proper for us to consider
it. However, the date of our Congress is provided for in our Con-
stitution.
Mr. Williams: If it is a hy-lavv it cannot properly he considered as
an amendment.
The Chairman: I apprehend that we do not desire to be particularly
technical about this. It seems to me the matter has heen presented in
such a way that it may he considered, and if not it is for the Congress to
determine.
Mr. Nutting (Massachusetts) : Mr. President General, I would like
to say that it seems to me that there is some misapprehension in regard
to the existing condition about this matter. The fact is that at Detroit
and at one or two other Congresses action was taken to change the date
to a more suitable or acceptable period. This can be done at any time.
Personally, it seems to me that to fix another date, instead of the date
in May, which is now fixed, would he a mistake, as there would he no
gain, no improvement over the present situation. Therefore it is much
better to allow it to stand as it is.
The Chairman : I desire to call the attention of the Compatriot to
the fact that there is no motion before the house.
It was moved and seconded that tiie proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution be laid upon the table.
Motion carried.
The Chairman: The invitations for the next Congress, which arc-
very gratefully received and which have heen very graciously made, go
to the Board of Trustees for acceptance. If there is no further business
to he transacted under the head of New Business, we will proceed to
the election of officers.
Mr. Randall (Connecticut) : This may have no hearing, this will be
a matter that is found out later, but Compatriot Nutting suggested that
the next meeting of the Congress he in Boston, especially on account of
the meeting and celebration by the Mayflower Soeiety. The waters of
Niagara will be flowing just the same the year after, at the next meet-
ing, and as a representative, self-appointed just for a minute, T want
to say that the Mayflower Society will have their important week
September Tst, the week of September ist, in Plymouth. That will offer
the delegates and memhers of this Society many advantages that no
other year or no other season will do again, if they are interested in
that. in a eo-operative way, to see the spectacle. I am only suggesting
it as a memher of the Society.

SONS OF TJlli AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
The Chairman: I call the attention of the Compatriots to the fact
that the astute lawyers of the Sons of the American Resolution in the
case of the Portland Congress devised a scheme by which it is possible
to hold the Congress at any time in the year that is acceptable. The
precise date of the Congress is subject to be changed at a pro- forma
meeting on the date fixed in the Constitution, by an adjournment to
such time as is desired.
Is there anything further under the head of New Business? (No.
response.)
The Chair will receive nominations for the office of President General.
(No response.) If there are no nominations for the office of President
General, we will pass to the election of the Vice-Presidents General.
( Laughter and applause.)
The Chair recogni/.es Dr. Allen, President of the New Jersey Society.
Dr. Ai.i.i'N : Mr. President General and Members of the Congress, yon
have all heard that I represent the State of New Jersey—a little State,
we know, in size; but what it lack's in size and quantity it makes up in
quality] as you well know. It was George Elliot who said very beauti-
fully, "The soul of Greece conquers the bulk of person." Tin; soul
comes here today, and New Jersey represents soul. Of course, we pass
by the consideration that New Jersey sent a man to the White I louse.
( Laughter.) We are on a different errand here today; we want to send
a man to this platform.
Now, we who live in Jersey are very proud of our little State. Mr.
President General, your Sons of the American Revolution were born
in Jersey. We represent the mother State of patriotism. We do not
forget Jersey's history — the battle-ground of the American Revolution.
It was across the State of New Jersey that George Washington made
that great retreat, with tears in his eyes, his heart breaking with sorrow.
But God had not forgotten his own, and ere long that same man crossed
the Delaware on that great Christmas night, under the inspiration of
(rod and amid the cohorts of heaven, fought the battle of Trenton,
fought the battle of Princeton, fought the battle of Monmouth, and
went on to victory.
I have a sort of a feeling, 'Mr. President General, if I know any-
thing about wireless telegraphy — but I don't — that somehow or other
George Washington and those 20,000 men who trailed across the State
of New Jersey with their sacrifice and their blood are sending down
messages to yon to send a Jerscyman to this platform. (Applause.)
The sons of those sires are a good deal like their fathers. They sit
before you, some of them. There are men from Princeton here, there
are men from Trenton here, and there are men from Monmouth here,
and men from the battle-fields of Jersey, and men that have emerged
out of its great history with the same spirit which won the American
Revolution and this great war through which we have'jnst passed.
Now, we have had in the history of New Jersey, connected with the*
Sons of the American Revolution, one National President, and that was
I'KOCKKJHNGS OL- HAKTl-'OKl) CONGRESS. l8l
our beloved friend, Governor Murphy, about whom I\lr. Ames spoke
so beautifully and so tenderly yesterday. It has been 21 years since
New Jersey lias had a National President, Mr. President General, in
those 21 years New Jersey has never asked for a President General.
She has stood by quietly, and gently, and politely, and seen the proces-
sion pass — New York with her six Presidents, Connecticut with her
three Presidents, Massachusetts with her three Presidents, and Alary-
land with her two Presidents. She comes here today — you will excuse
me; it is no conceit at all; it has just been read in you hearing' — with
the largest delegation present in this Congress — 32 delegates. This is
no stuffed affair; this is no caucus. These men are from Jersey, with
the spirit of the American Revolution in their hearts, and they have
come here, politely, patriotically, and with a spirit and love for their
country, to aslc you gentleman to give New Jersey a President again.
We have 1,500 members, the third largest membership in the United
States. We have enrolled in our membership tin's last year nearly 200,
and it looks to us as if we were entitled to this position if we have got
a man that we can present.
Governor Murphy was a large man. Mr. President and Compatriots,
we have got a large man here today. (Applause.) We are presenting
no pigmy ; we have brought no man from obscurify or from some little
village from the far end of the little State of New Jersey, but we have
brought a man here; we have borne him on our shield, we have carried
him on our hearts. No man is belter known or better loved in the
State of New Jersey than John I.enord Merrill. (.Applause.)
Now, what about Mr. Merrill!-' 1 have known him intimately for a
good many years. It has been one of the delightful things of my life,
and the same thing can be said and has just been said by these my
fellow-Compatriots. A man physically — well, Mr. Wentworth is a little
bit bigger — but he is strong enough to visit 40 Societies, as you have
done (turning to the President General), You have had a noble record.
Mr. Merrill can visit 40 Societies; he's got the physique, lie never
gets tired; he doesn't need to sleep; he can walk, he can run, he can fly.
(Laughter.) In the second place, he has a brain. You don't want a
man that hasn't a brain and a mind. He's a man who thinks and he's
a man who solves problems. Wasn't he three years — I think' three
years — on your Executive Council? You don't have men on your
Executive Council who haven't brains, do you? He was three years on
the Executive Council; therefore he has brains. (Applause and laugh-
ter.) We have seen his brains oozing out there in Jersey a good many
years. lie's been one of the directors, and we couldn't have had this
banner that he received so beautifully if it hadn't been for the brains
and patriotism of John Lenord Merrill. (Applause.)
Mr. President General, there's another thing. You don't want a man
at the head of this great Society that isn't a Christian man, a man of
God. (Applause.) John I,cnord Merrill kneels at the feet of Jesus
Christ. Every Sabbath, I absolutely know, for his pastor is an intimate
182
SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
friend of mine, he is in the house of God worshiping with God's people,
and as I have known him and others have known him through these
years, he is a man who lias created a spiritual influence that is felt
everywhere in the Stale of New Jersey.
Now, in addition to that, Mr. Merrill has a marvelous equipment.
He's the organizer and founder of the Washington Guards, and [ will
just say here publicly, as the President of that State Society, you are-
going to hear from the Washington Guards. You are going to hear
from Mr. Merrill's children as a power throughout this country.
Mr. Merrill is equipped by a very large business acquaintance, lie
has gradually ascended the stairway of business power and influence
until now he is at the head of that great institution which we know as
the American Cables, and it is his hand that reaches out from the
United States and touches every route of territory and every influence
of life in that great world of Latin-America.
And now, Mr. President, Mr. Merrill has the time, and I don't want
to give away anything, but he's got the money. You cannot be a Presi-
dent General without time and money. I don't know whether he's a
multimillionaire, but he's got money enough to visit every State in the
United States, and he will use it for the Hag. You see how he stood
and handled the Hag yesterday.
Then, in conclusion, Mr. President, if Mr. Murphy had a thousand
bodies you would bear him crying out — and I am going to do it for
him — "if T had a thousand lives I'd give them all to my- country";
and that's Mr. Merrill. He's a bundle of patriotism. We love him, we
honor him, and we come here and ask you gentlemen to appreciate what
Jersey has been as your mother, and the fact that she has not had this
office for so many years, to present to this Congress, and through this
Congress to the great American nation, a great, good, and noble
patriot — John I.enord Merrill. (Continued applause.)
The Chairman: Does this nomination receive a second?
Or. Williams: Mr. President General and Delegates to the National
Congress, having obtained the platform in this surreptitious manner, L
wish to take advantage of your good nature to extend to you an invita-
tion which was given me last night to pass on to you from the President
of the Connecticut Society of the Colonial Dames to visit the old Webb
House, which they have purchased and which they maintain in Wethers-
field, and where there will be an exposition today and the remainder of
this week; and making that announcement suggests to me another thing,
which is out of order, but if the President General will indulge me T
would like to make a motion. We are very much overwhelmed with
the kindness that the Daughters of the American Revolution have ex-
tended to this Congress, and it has been' so spontaneous. I think it
would be very agreeable to them if this Congress should pass a vote
requesting the Seerctary General to send a note to the Ruth Wyllis
Chapter of Hartford, who gave that reception last night at the State
Library, and also lo send a note to the President of the Colonial Dames
PROCEEDINGS OJ/ JIARTPokd CONGRESS. 183
of Connecticut for extending the invitation to visit the Webb House.
Now, if it is agreeable to you and the President General will indulge
me, I would like to make that motion.
The motion was duly seconded and unanimously carried.
Dr. YVn.UAMS: Mr. ['resident General and Delegates, my chief reason
in coming to the platform was another one. I wish to second a nomina-
tion. You all look favorable and friendly, but I suppose there are
different views here or you wouldn't be descendants of patriots of the
American Revolution (laughter) ; but they were fair-minded people,
and I suppose you all have open minds and any speaker here is sure of
a sympathetic reception, as sympathetic and perhaps even more sympa-
thetic than the girl up in Maine received who was out sleigh-riding one
night. Everything was very quiet and serene, but a little dull, and by
and by she broke the stillness of the winter air by saying, ''I feel so
sad tonight." Well, then, of course, it was up to him. (Laughter.)
He said, "Why do you say that?" "Why," she said, "1 feel that nobody
loves me, and my hands are so cold." "Well," he said, "you shouldn't
say that, because God loves you, and your mother loves you, and you
can sit on your hands." (Applause and laughter.) Now, gentlemen, I
come here not in my individual capacity, but for the State of Con-
necticut, to second the nomination for the high office of President
General of this Society — a position of great opportunity for human
service, a position which needs large men, such as has been described;
a position, I think, which needs a man who has had experience in the
work of the National Society and experience in the work of the State
Society, one who has that work near his heart, who has shown that
he has it near his heart by his devotion to the work'.
Yesterday a man was at my house whom 1 met coming from the well
(laughter) wiping the dew of morning from his lips, lie had evidently
kissed the Blarney Stone. He said to me, "I would like to vote for you
for President General." (Applause.) I didn't expect that; that was a
false move. (Laughter.) I just wanted to say that that one man in
this body who would like to vote for me .for President General couldn't
do me a greater favor or a greater kindness than to vote for the man
who has just been nominated. Much has been said about how Con-
necticut feels. Connecticut feels very deeply, Connecticut feels very
sincerely, on this subject, very warmly. I will say, furthermore, that
any one in this assemblage who would like to vote for Connecticut,
who would like to do a favor to the Connecticut Society, cannot do a
greater favor than to vote in this Congress for John Lenord Merrill
as President General. (Continued applause.)
Mr. Bryan (Washington, D. C.) : On behalf of a very considerable
majority of the District of Columbia Society, I rise to second the
nomination of Mr. Merrill. (Applause.) Whoever you elect today you
will make no mistake. You have two strong men to select from and
either one will reflect honor and credit upon this Society, (Applause.)
Whoever is elected will, 1 predict, have the hearty, loyal, and faithful
j 84
SONS OK TNI': AMKKK'AN UK VOLUTION
support of every organization and every member of this Society. But
because of the magnificent record of the New Jersey Society, because of
his long, faithful, and efficient service, 1 second the nomination of John
Lenord Merrill. (Applause.)
The Oiajkman: Are there any further seconds or nominations ?
Mr. Yi'Xi.oTT : Mr. President General and Compatriots, as 1 have been
sitting here in these surroundings and attending this Congress of this
great Society, the thought has come to me more than once of the great
work of service to humanity which this organization is doing and has
been doing for so many years, and is fitting itself today to do in a
larger measure than ever before. And that thought expressed itself to
me in words which no doubt have been uttered from this platform be-
fore many times — "It is more blessed to give than to receive."
Having been honored by the Maryland delegation with the task of
coming here and putting in nomination the favorite son of our State, it
seemed to me that I would come here and recount to yon the deeds
of our Maryland ancestors in Revolutionary times. There is a long
list of them, Compatriots: There is a long list of the men and there
is a longer list of the great deeds they did for us and our posterity.
But that is not my thought. We ask absolutely nothing from the Sons
of the American Revolution. We believe that it is infinitely more
blessed to give than to receive (applause) ; and, Compatriots, another
thought came into my mind, expressed also in words from the Holy
Scriptures, when I wanted to speak of the man whom we are offering
to the Sons of the American Revolution, and through them to the
cause of humanity, and when 1 wondered what I should say, whether
1 should go back and follow the example that has been set and trace
him from his earliest history and his various works that he has been
engaged in, this other thought came to me, "By their fruits ye shall
know them"; and by his fruits I want you, fellow-members of this
organization, to know the man that Maryland brings here and offers
to your service. T have known this man many, many years. T. can't
say that he and 1 were boys together, although when 1 first knew him
we were both almost boys in our Slate Legislature, some 26 years ago,

Speaker of the I louse, and he made a record of which any man could
be proud. As a lawyer he made a record of which his family and the
bar of our State all have reason to be proud. But it is not by those
fruits that T want you to know him.
W r e realize, we must realize, Compatriots, that the time has come
when the Sons of the American Revolution must go forward and do
greater and larger things, in a greater and larger measure, than ever
before 1 . We need a man at the head of this Organization who is ac-
big things, a man who has within him. in the highest
ability, a man who will take ns, the members of this

and on, and on, and carry forward the principles of

our organization and the principles of our Republic into the uttermost
quarters — yea, I was going to say of the United Stales, but of the whole
world. Now who is this man? What lias he done?
Many, many of you have known Baltimore. Many of you have been
in Baltimore in past years. I. went out yesterday on the street-car and
1 sat next to a gentleman from up in this country who had been clown
to Baltimore some years ago, and he said that there were some things
he didn't like about Baltimore. He said the streets were so rough, and
I inquired a little more, and he talked about cobblestones, etc. Why,
that was Baltimore, that was Baltimore. Baltimore was the home, 1
believe, of all the cobblestones on earth. The streets were simply full
of them; and that was the Baltimore that this man took hold of when
he was elected Mayor of Baltimore City, some ten years ago— a great
big, awkward, gawky, country village, that had cobblestones with grass
growing up between them. There were no sewers, no lights, except
these old gas lights, which would k<> out if a hard gust of wind came
along. That was the kind of town that man found. And what did he-
do? He came out and he struck the first pick in the ground to cover
old Jones Palls, that ran from the northwest section of our city down
to the basin, at the southern end of it, and an open sewer that was
paved over is now a wide viaduct, over a hundred feet wide, a magnifi-
cent structure. And then the Key Highway opening up our port. Then
the cobblestones in the streets were taken up, and practically every
street in our whole city is now smooth. Great electric "White Ways"
were built through the heart of our city in all directions, and Balti-
more— the little, awkward, gawky town that it was — is now a city of
which any man might be proud. (Applause.)
Now, my friends, 1 have lived there during these years and had
numerous occasions to have my little controversies with the gentleman
who did this work. There was no particular reason why [ should give
him more credit than was his due; lint in the midst of one of the hottest
controversies that I had with him, when 1 got on my feet I said: "f care
not about the merits of this controversy, but if you ask me who is the
man who made Baltimore, T will say it was James Harry Preston."
(Applause.) We all knew that he was the man. By their fruits ye
shall know them. Do we want that kind of a man? Are you willing,
when Maryland brings him to you and offers him to you, are you willing
to accept that freewill offering that we give? Do you want a man at
the head of this organization who can and does build up, wlio under-
stands just what is required in handling large affairs, large principles,
large masses of men? Do you want to do a favor to Maryland? Do
you want to do a favor to Connecticut? Do you want to do a favor
to New Jersey? Do you want to do a favor to my friend, Dr. Wil-
liams — and I was the man who wanted to elect him yesterday. I would
elect him; certainly 1 would. Who wouldn't? (Applause and laugh
ter.) Why, gentlemen, T never warmed up to any man in the whole
course of my life in a few minutes as I warmed up to Dr. Williams.
i8G SONS 01' TJIlv AMl'ULCAN REVOLUTION.
(Laughter.) I knew that his picture would be embedded for years in
my heart, but 1 had my little camera and I wanted to make sure of it,
and J. tried to take his picture, so that 1 would have it when 1 went
home. 1 never knew a more genial, a more generous host than Dr.
Williams (applause) ; but my friends, Compatriots, are we here to do
favors to Connecticut, to Dr. Williams, to New Jersey, or to any other
nominee? Js that the object of this great organization, to do favors to
them? No. We are here to do the greatest favor within our power to
the great American people, to those of today, to those of generations
as yet unborn. Let us not be turned aside, Compatriots, from the plain
path of duty, from doing the thing that our minds tell us is right, by
any feeling that we would like to do a favor to men here, there, or
elsewhere.
Now, our nominee's work has not been confined alone to building up
Baltimore City, lie has done a great piece of work through and by the
aid of this organization. It was some three and one-half years ago
when he, as Mayor of Baltimore City, heard or read in the papers about
this move to have an American's Creed, something which would express
in a relatively few words the fundamental principles of our creed,
something which could be learned by the most ignorant coming to out"
shores, something which could be learned by the little children in our
schools. You all know that American's Creed, of course, and it was
he who, acting for and on behalf of the City of Baltimore, offered a
prize of $1,000 to the man who. should prepare the most acceptable and
satisfactory creed, and it was through our nominee, James Harry
Preston, that the literary world woke up and became interested in this
great document, which to my mind stands second only to the Declara-
tion of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. (Ap-
plause.) But was he satisfied by merely offering this prize? No. He
took the most intense interest in it, and after that creed was written
and the prize awarded to a Maryland man, then he became interested,
as head of Baltimore City, in having that creed taught in the public
schools of our city; and just a few days ago 1 attended a patriotic
celebration where there were a hundred little tots, school children, who
got up and every one of them were able to repeat that American's Creed
as they might the Lord's Prayer in Sunday School, and throughout our
entire Baltimore City there is not a single child who does not know by
heart that American's Creed. And, not satisfied with that, our nominee
went forward — and all this work was not done spasmodically, but it
was done with system and precision — went forward and is now having
it taught in every public school in the entire Stale of Maryland. That's
the kind of man that we bring here to serve this organization, and, as 1
say, through this organization the American people.
Compatriots, 1 could recount many more things which that man has
done, but 1 say to you when we offer you a man who has done as much
as lie has along work of this order, in spreading throughout this land
that great document, the American's Creed, when we offer you a man

who lias done what he has done in building up a great city like Balti-
• more, like ho has built it up, then I say we of Maryland, realizing that
it is more blessed to give than to receive, have offered you a man
who is without question, in point of achievement, the greatest man that
Maryland has known for fifty years and the greatest man in Maryland
today. (Applause.)
Judge Remington,, of the Empire State Society: Mr. President
General and Compatriots, whatever the result of our choice may be
today, it can be said that that choice will have had the sanction of I loly
Writ, judging from the remarks that have already been made. (Laugh-
ter.) We are met at this hour upon the most important work of this
Congress, the selection of a President General who will carry out the
traditions of the. past This is a very important time in the history of
our organization, and it behooves us to select a man who will make the
most of the opportunities that are before us. We have learned of the
achievements of the gentlemen whose names have been prsentcd to this
Congress. T came here with an open mind. I had not decided for
whom T would cast my vote. I have talked with various delegates. I
have heard discussions from time to time, and I have come to the con-
clusion that the one who will best scree the interests of our organization
is the gentleman whose nomination I wish to second. lie has had
wide experience as a lawyer, as a legislator, as an executive of the
great city of Baltimore, and it seems to me that for these reasons we
ought to make him our choice today.
There is another very important reason to me. Our .Society has made
great growth in the North in the past few years. In former years we
were represented from the Southern States — notably from Kentucky,
from Tennessee, and some of the other States — by large delegations.
The Society seems to have reached a rather stagnant state in the
South, and it seems to me that the time is ripe for recruiting our mem-
bership in the Southern States, and it seems to me that no man is better
fitted or more qualified to extend the influence of the organization in
the South than former Mayor James Ik Preston, of Baltimore. (-Ap-
plause.)
I would take nothing from what has been said with reference to
Mr. Merrill. He is my personal friend and T would be pleased to vote
for him for President General; but it seems to me that the exigencies
of this situation demand that we choose Mr. Preston for this position.
It is therefore, on behalf of the united delegation for the Empire State,
that I second the nomination of James H. Preston. (Applause.)
Mr. Nuttinc. : On behalf of the delegation from the Old Bay State,
T have great pleasure in also seconding the nomination of Mr. Preston,
of Baltimore. (Applause.)
Mr. Putnam (Massachusetts) : Mr. President General, T wish to

from those States pass in front of the tellers and deposit their ballot.

whose name has not been listed on this roster, it can be determined by
the Credentials Committee whether he has the right to vote.

The ballots were east at this time.
The Chairman : Nave you all voted? If so, I declare the polls closed.
Compatriots, I want to make an announcement. Please notice that
the United .States ['lag mentioned in the Governor's address of welcome
will fly from the State Capitol this afternoon. This flag flew over the
Capitol at Washington at the second inauguration of President Wilson ;
also at the time war was declared; also at the signing of the armistice,
and was presented to the State of Connecticut for its record in the
Liberty Poan campaign, November IT, 1919. (Applause.)

to speak for them now and for New Jersey. New Jersey is a good
winner, but she's a good loser, too. Mr. President General, 1 have the
honor, on behalf of the New Jersey delegation, of moving you, sir, that
this election be made unanimous, (Applause and cheers.)

General Pcardsley, Pugsley, Marble, and Wentworth to escort the
President; General elect to the platform.
The President General elect was escorted to the platform by the Past
Presidents General mentioned, members applauding.
The Chairman : Compatriot Preston, you have received many honors
in the past, but none greater than this election, for this is the expression
of approVal of your life and principles by a body of your fellow-
citizens who believe in American ideals and whose love of country is
the common bond which unites them. 1 congratulate you and the
National Society of the Sons of the .American Revolution. Compatriots,
your President General. (Applause.)
President General PeESTON : Past President General elect (laughter),
Compatriots, it is a very agreeable occasion for me — a little close, but
healthy. (Laughter.) It is a good thing to light things out in the
open. 1 hope I'll be a good winner. I know 1 would have been a good
loser. 1 was waiting across the street to come over and make the
nomination of Mr. Merrill unanimous, if that had been the fortune of
war.
We are a great organization, one running from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and from Canada to the Gulf, and must necessarily, therefore,
have a wide and different point of view. We have our ideas, our am-
bitions, but they all will melt, I believe, into the common good of the
Society, and that should be the keynote now and of the future.
We have enjoyed the splendid hospitality of Connecticut and of
Hartford. We have enjoyed the splendid hospitality of Dr. Williams,
the President of the Connecticut Society. (Applause.) We have been
received in the warmest way by your people, your government, your
public authorities, and by the Connecticut Chapter; so that, personally
and on behalf of the Society, permit me .again to renew and extend my
thanks and our thanks. We are deeply appreciative of the splendid
position of New Jersey in this organization. (Applause.) We are
deeply appreciative of your splendid President, the good that he does
the Society and American aims, and we will, I hope-, attempt in every
way to unify, to develop, to march forward with a united front in the
ranks of the Sons of the American Revolution.
There is one section of our country which needs careful attention.
I(jO SONS OF Till': AMERICAN RfgVOI*UTION.
The South has been very poor for two generations — rich in tradition,
rich in accomplishment, but without the very material means which
have existed in the North and in the East. Books are published in the
North and in the East, patriotic societies are widely and largely en-
couraged in the North and the Hast ; but we in the South, up to a
short time ago, have been busily engaged in living. I believe, however,
that the field is now ripe for a wide, enthusiastic development of this
patriotic order and a furthering and widening of the field of the Sons
of the American Revolution in the South. As far as may be, I shall
devote my efforts to that end.
T cannot hope, Compatriots, to rival the activities of the splendid
Presidents General who preceded me. 1 can only hope to be as useful
to the Order as the)' have been. 1 ,et us, therefore, march forward
with a united front against the common enemy— and we have a common
enemy, just as our ancestors had 140 years ago. We have an enemy to
repel which aims at American institutions, and American liberties, and
American freedom, the liberty of the individual and the liberty of prop-
erty, just as our fathers had r^o years ago. Let us be as true to our
ideals. Let us be as true to our traditions. Let us advance the banner
of our splendid Society in the interest of a splendid Americanism.
(Applause.)
The Chairman: Compatriots, the clock and certain other indications
tell us that the time for lunch has arrived. On the floor below there-
is a hearty repast awaiting us, and. with the permission of the Congress
we will take a recess until 2 o'clock sharp, and upon the stroke of 2 the

plause,) It seems eminently fitting that a member of that splendid
.Society should be a Vice-President General.
Mr. WIGHT; As a member of the New Jersey delegation and repre-
senting the New Jersey delegates, we are particularly pleased that Mr.
Williams's name has been placed in line for this position. We are
proud of the record he has made. It is an unusual record, I believe,
and we heartily second his renomination.
Mr. WiCNTWOR'rii : T move you, sir, there being no further nomina-
tions, that the rules be suspended, and the Congress by a rising vote

him to come forward.
Next in order will be nominations for Vice-President General for
the Mississippi Valley, East District.
Mr. OsbornC (Ohio) : It is an old saying that one good turn deserves
another. We have a Vice-President in that district who, if anybody
deserves recognition, certainly does, for the efficient work he has dune
during his term, and I hereby nominate Col. Moulton Honk, of Dela-
ware, Ohio, for that position.
Mr. WRIGHT (President of Wisconsin Society): On behalf of the
Wisconsin Society, I wish to testify to the interest and to the industry
shown by the present incumbent of the office of Vice-President of that
district. 1 do not know how many Societies the gentleman has visited,
but 1 do know that he favored the Wisconsin Society last September,
in company with the President General, where he met many of our
members. I can also testify to the gentleman being somewhat of a
correspondent, for he has kept me busy answering letters in the interest
of our beloved Order; and on behalf of the Wisconsin delegation 1
most heartily second his renomination for the office that he has so'
ably filled.
The Chairman! Are there any other nominations? If not, the Chair

Lamer, of the District of Columbia. (Applause.)
The Chairman: Are there any other nominations? I haven't had the
pleasure of knowing the father of the Secretary General, but 1 have
become very well acquainted with him, and he has been of the greatest
service to the Society during a period when it was difficult to perform
the arduous duties of Secretary General.
Captain Martin: Mr. President, 1 move you, sir, that the President
General be authorized to cast a ballot for the Secretary General elect.
Seconded and carried.
The Chairman: It has been moved and seconded that the President
General, the Secretary General being a modest man. have the privilege
of casting the ballot of the Congress for Secretary General Larner. I
hereby cast the ballot and declare the new Secretary General to be the
old Secretary General.

such hard pressure that I haven't had a chance to prepare a speech, but
T certainly appreciate your good wishes and the action that you have

were somewhat badly mixed, I had the great pleasure of nominating the
Treasurer on that occasion. lie has served the organization eleven
years, and it gives me great pleasure to nominate for re-election my
friend, John 11. Burroughs, the financial man from New York. (Ap-
plause.)
The Chairman: Are there any other nominations?
It was moved, seconded, and carried that the Secretary General cast
the ballot of die Congress for Mr. John II. Burroughs for the office
of Treasurer General.

casting this ballot for Mr. John II. Burroughs for the office of Treas-
urer General. 1 know he is the right man for the place.
The Chairman: The Chair declares him duly elected and asks him
to stop to the platform,
Mr. Bi'RRoucns : Just a word, Compatriots, I consider it a greal
honor to be renominated. This is the twelfth time you have so honored
me, and it has been my purpose, as a Labor of love, to work for the ^
National Society as its Treasurer General. I was saving to one of my
PROCEEDINGS 01" HARTFORD CONGRESS. IQ5
Compatriots today that they haven't increased my bond yet, but if the
money keeps coming in greater amounts, I presume that it would be a
wise thing for the Treasurer General to have his bond increased. The
Society is growing gradually better off financially, also numerically,
and it gives me a special pleasure each April and May and March to
receive larger amounts from the various State Societies, which shows a
healthy growth in many of them, and I want once more to thank the
different Treasurers of the State Societies who have been so loyal
during my last year's administration.
The Chairman: Nominations for the office of Chaplain General are
in order.
Mr. BakBOUr: T move you, sir, that the Rev. L,ee S. McCollcster be

chusetts, has been nominated.

lain General. Motion carried.

unanimous ballot of the Society for Rev. Rcc S. McCollester as Chap-
lain General.
The Chairman: The Chair declares him duly elected. (Applause.)
Next is the Historian General.
Mr. l)\'i'i:s: Raving been Historian General for several years, 1 know
something about the requirements of the position and it is quite desir-
able thai the man who occupies il one term or two terms should be
continued, and there is no one who has filled the position with more
honor to himself and credit to the Society than the present incumbent.
T therefore nominate Air. George C. Arnold, of the Rhode Island
Society.
Mr. Torhkrt : Coming from the South, the Mason and Dixon line, it
gives me great pleasure to second the nomination of a man from way
down East. Ours has been an acquaintance that has grown with the
years at these annual congresses. ] take great pleasure in seconding
the nomination of Mr. Arnold for the position of Historian General.
It was moved and seconded that the Secretary cast the ballot of the
Congress for Mr. George C. Arnold for the office of Historian General.
The Chairman: Are there any further nominations? If not, 1 declare
the nominations closed. The motion is that the Secretary General cast
the ballot of the Congress for the present incumbent of the office of
Historian General, Compatriot Arnold. He should be a Historian
General, as f understand he owns and lives upon a tract of land which
has belonged to the Arnold family for three or four hundred years.
The motion was carried.

Vacancies. T move the election of the list as prepared.
It was moved and seconded that the list of Trustees as prepared be
duly elected.
Mr. Barbour: Read the list.

lion. Malcolm Lindsey is the new President, and I know that it is the
intention that he should be the Trustee.
Mr. Barbour: Among the list presented by the Secretary is the name
of A. N. Henry. I want to assure you, gentlemen, that there is nobody
more disappointed than Mr. Henry at not being able to be here. Some
three weeks ago he was taken with a very severe case of pneumonia.
] fe is convalescing at the present time, and as he has in the past gen-
erally attended your meetings, I took the liberty last evening of sending
a telegram to him, which I hope will be endorsed by tliis organization,
because I felt that it would cheer him up and carry him along ami
restore him to perfect health. Two weeks ago last Sunday it was
questionable whether he would survive or not, but he is convalescing,
as T said, and is improving, and this is the telegram I sent him last
night:
"The officers and your many friends, members of the Sons of the
American Revolution, join with me in extending their sympathy, and
wish you a most speedy recovery."
Secretary General Lakni;r: J will state that I had a letter from Mr.
Henry's son a few days ago, telling nie of his father's illness and re-
gretting that lie could not be present at the meeting of the Executive
Committee held last week, and at tin- request of the Executive Com-
mittee 1 sent him a very sympathetic and cordial telegram last Saturday
night.
The Chairman: With the consent of the Congress, the record will
show the telegram sent by the vote of the Congress.
Mr. Cox-fi: In the little hamlet of Chicago, on the shores of Lake
Michigan, some years ago it is said that a German name was presented
as the candidate for alderman. The people didn't know who he was,
and when they asked about him it was explained that "he hasn't come
over yet .already." (Laughter.) We can accept this list as it is and
trust the people who haven't sent in the names to send in the names of
those who "haven't come over yet already." (Laughter.)
The Chairman: What is the pleasure of the Congress?
It was moved and seconded that the Trustees who have been named
and the Presidents,, in cases where they have not been named, be elected
as Trustees. Motion carried.

Mr. Frank C. OssornB (Ohio) : Mr. President General, 1 have a
short resolution to offer, and move its adoption by this Congress:
WhjSrUAS Cn ANC.Ki.UJR L. Jf.nks has served our Society as President
General with a fidelity unexceled, has given all his time and attention
to its welfare, has visited forty States in its behalf, lias unceasingly
worked for its furtherance in the cause of patriotism and Americanism ;
now he it
Resolved, That the National Society, Sons of the American Revolu-
tion, in annual Congress assembled, hereby extends to him its apprecia-
tion of his services, so faithfully performed.
In deference to the modesty of our President General, I would sug-
gest that one of the Vice-Presidents General submit the resolution.
Vice-President General Wiu.iams: This resolution comes from a
member of the Ohio Society and 1 put it before you. lias it been
seconded?
It was duly seconded.
Mr. P.aiU'.y: Pardon me if I speak a little bit for the West to this
resolution. 1 fear for the last few years, in the activity of the present,
we have been rather forgetful of the past. We seem to have been
napping before the war and to have slumbered during the war. There
came into our midst, along in the winter, a quiet, genial gentleman, a
man who spoke before our Commercial Club and before the Sons of the
American Revolution. He impressed us as a man who had not attained
to an ambition, but who had accepted a sacred trust, lie aroused in us
the old New England spirit He pointed us the way and he gave to us
a. new life, which 1 trust will be as useful to you and to our people
throughout the country as the West continues to develop; and so, mem-
bers of the Congress, it is my pleasure for Nebraska, and 1 am sure I
may say for the great West, to second the adoption of this resolution.
(Applause.)
Vice-President General Wiumams: Are there any other remark's upon
the resolution? If not, we will put it to a vote.
The motion was unanimously carried.
The Chairman: Compatriots, T assure you that I am deeply touched
by this expression of esteem. T want to assure you that whatever 1
have done for the Society has been a labor of love. The office which \
have occupied is one of great honor. 1 esteem it as such and I thank
you for your expressions of approval. And now, at the close of this
Congress, 1 resign my responsibilities to my successor, who has been
so signally honored* I wish him God-speed in his important work.
( Applause.)
At this time President General Preston resumed the chair.
The Chairman : It only remains for us at this closing hour to have
(he benediction pronounced over us and to adjourn, and I request tin-
ruocKicuiNcs of iiAK'ri-oKD con'gukss. 199
Rev. William I.', Pierce, President of Kcnyon College, to deliver the
benediction.
A MKmhkr : I would like to move that the thanks of this Congress
he extended to the press of Hartford for the eourtesics extended in
report-nig the meetings of the Congress.
The motion was seconded and carried.
Rev. W11.UAM F. Pierce: Let us pray. Almighty God, for the bless-
ings that Thou hast vouchsafed to our forefathers, we give Thee most
humble and hearty thanks. Upon us, their descendants, assembled in
this National Congress, we implore Thy divine favor. May we reconse-
crate ourselves to the maintenance of those great principles which
they established. May the peace of Cod, which passeth all understand-
ing, keep our hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God and
of His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Whereupon, on motion, the Congress was duly adjourned.

A meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Society, Sons

of New York; Mr. Elmer M. Wentworth, of Iowa; Mr. George E.
Pomeroy, of Ohio; Mr. Lewis 1!. Curtis, of Connecticut, and Mr. James

Also present: Vice-Presidents General George F. Burgess, of Con-
necticut, and Thomas \V. Williams, of New Jersey; also Treasurer
General John H. Burroughs, of New York.
Also Past President General Wm. A. Marble, of New York, and
Morris II Beardsley, of Connecticut.
On motion, all present not members of the committee were invited' to
attend the meeting.
The minutes of the last meeting of the Executive Committee, held
October 25, ion), at New York City, were approved as printed.
Remark's were made by President General Jenks on the general state
of the Society, and especial reference was made to the death of John
Milton Reifsnider, former Director General.
The Secretary General reported on the condition of the business of
his office and the establishment and furnishing of the Society Head-
quarters in Washington; also, that as a measure of precaution a policy
of lire insurance for $2,500 had been placed upon the property in the
rooms. The report and action with reference to fire insurance were
approved by the committee, with the suggestion that the insurance be
increased to $5,000.
The Secretary General was requested to send a telegram to Mr.
Albert M. Henry (who was absent from the meeting), expressing
sympathy of the committee for his illness and a hope for speedy re-

Various statistics connected with the report of the Registrar General,
M KlvTING OF JvXlvCU'll VI-; COM M I'lTM. 201
to be presented to the National Congress convening in Hartford on
May if, were presented and considered by the committee.
Attention was called by the Registrar General to the occasional re-
ceipt of applications for membership in which two or more lines of
eligibility were entered upon the original blank, causing much con-
fusion and making it quite difficult to record accurately.
The fact that all records are carefully kept and are of increasing
value for historical and genealogical reference makes it important that
each line of applicant's descent should he kept separately, except in
such instances in which the applicant traced his descent through father
and son.
The Registrar General was directed to call the attention of State
Registrars to the absolute necessity of using supplemental blanks in all
cases where applicant traces to two or more Revolutionary patriots,
except as above stated, and urge them to make each paper as com-
plete as possible, for its historical value in the future.
Communications having been received from Compatriots in various
parts of the country who were entitled to and could not obtain the
World War medals through the State Societies in which they held
membership, the Executive Committee, on motion, decided that where
a State Society neglects without due cause to provide the desired
medals the National Society may present the medal, application there-
for being made through and certified by the State Society or the Secre-
tary General, no charge to be made therefor, the applicant being known
as a member.
Treasurer General Burroughs made a statement to the committee
covering the expenses ami general finances of the National Society,
and suggesting that, in view of the increased cost of various features
of the work, it would be advisable soon to consider an increased income
for the Society. The committee recommended that the incoming \\y ■
ecutive Committee take steps to increase the income of the National
Society and present an amendment to the Constitution providing there-
for.
A communication was submitted from the Board of Managers of the
Washington State Society respecting a petition filed by Spokane Chap-
ter of the State Society for a charter of a new and separate State
Society for eastern Washington. Upon consideration of the matter by
the Executive Committee, the Secretary General was instructed to
notify the Spokane Chapter that to organize, an additional chapter as
desired would necessitate an amendment to the Constitution of the
National Society, which must be presented in the manner required.
A unanimous vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. and Mrs. Lewis 15.
Curtis for their hospitality in the entertainment of the members of the
Executive Committee and accompanying guests.
The committee thereafter adjourned.

t-
Revolution occasion. Past President Chester N. Jones was master of
ceremonies.
President Vail and a large delegation of New Jersey Society visited
the Empire State Society on Flag Day, June 14, and participated in its
exercises of awarding war service medals to those of that organization
who had served in the Federal Army or Navy during the World War.
The event proved the existence of the strong bond of fellowship be-
tween the two societies.
It was announced at the beginning of the summer vacation that Capt.
Joseph O. Sanders had been placed on the roster as the 2,000th member.
On Saturday, September 13, a memorial to Abraham Clark, a New
Jersey Signer of the Declaration of Independence, was dedicated at
Roselle, N". J., on trie site of the home of the patriot thus remembered.
The boulder was contributed by the Compatriots living in Roselle, and
the tablet, with suitable inscription, was the gift of the Society. Presi-
dent Carl M. Vail presided, and addresses were given by several dis-
tinguished citizens, including the Governor, William M. Runyon. A
feature of the ceremony which attracted considerable attention was
the placing of floral tributes by young women, representing the
original thirteen States. These tributes were placed at the base of the
boulder while "Jersey Land" was played by the brass band.
Constitution Day, September T7, was remembered in many of the
schools of New Jersey, and in the evening a large delegation of our
Society attended exercises in the old First Church, Newark. At noon
President Vail, accompanied by a number of the officers and members
of the Board of Managers, attended exercises at the Subtreasury Build-
ing, New York, under the auspices of the Empire State Society.
Our reception to Compatriot Chancellor L. Jenks, President General,
on October 25, was really the opening of the social season of the
Oranges. The distinguished guest, accompanied by Mrs. Jenks, was
escorted from New York to Fast Orange, where they were entertained
at dinner by Vice-President General Thomas W. Williams at his home.
Later in the evening members of the Stale Society, with their ladies,
met at the Woman's Club, in the same city, and there tendered a recep-
tion to the guests of the evening. A number of the national officers
were present and the entire affair was voted one of the most successful
affairs held under the auspices of the New Jersey Society.
An automobile pilgrimage, under the direction of Paramus Chapter,
to various points of historical interest in Bergen County will always
be a delightful event associated with September 30, iqiq. The day
was ideal from the weather viewpoint', and the Hoard of Managers,
which was the guest of the Chapter, enjoyed fully the program so
painstakingly arranged by the committee of arrangements. The trip
concluded at the home of Frederick Z. Board, Ridgewood, an old-time
colonial house, only a few of which type are still standing in New
Jersey. The social hour proved a very happy affair, Mr. and Mrs.
Board acting as host and hostess. An opportunity was given each
KKI'OKTS Ol' STATIC SOO I'.Tl l',S. 205
guest to inspect the rooms and the Quaint furniture with which the
house is furnished.
A new chapter, known as Second River, No. io, was organized on
December I. Dr, Edward O. Cyphers, who was instrumental in securing
fourteen new members during the year, will be known as the founder.
The headquarters are at Belleville.
New Jersey Day, December 18, was observed by the Society, when it
gave a free stereopticon lecture on "The blag of Our Great Republic."
The lecturer was Compatriot John Willis Weeks. Addresses were also
given by President Vail and Historian Pierson.
On Washington's Birthday the clergy of the State quite generally, by
request of our Committee on Americanization, of which Compatriot
Harry I'\ Brewer is chairman, preached sermons on the life of the First
Citizen of our Country.
The Board of Managers held eleven meetings during the year, which
in some respects was the most notable in our history. There was a
much more earnest activity directed toward the securing of new mem-
bers than in other years. This applied more especially during the last
quarter, when no members were added to the roll.
Chapters have for the most part been very active during the year.
Ail have had ceremonies of varying form for the presentation of the
War Service medals to the Compatriots entitled to receive them.
John Lawrence Boggs is now the first Compatriot on the State and
National roster, being No. 4. Peter B. Fairchikl, No. 15, of Orange, is
second, and Compatriot Frederick Frelinghuysen, of Newark, is third,
being No. 26.
Sylvester If. M. A gens, who was elected to membership in 1919.
secured the gold insignia for having secured the largest number of new
members, his record for the fiscal year being twenty.
The Society 'has suffered the loss of two Compatriots, who in their
day were among the leaders of our Society. Compatriot Franklin
Murphy died at Palm Beach, Florida, February 24. He had been Gover-
nor of New Jersey, President General of the National Society, and had
occupied other offices of honor and trust.
Compatriot George Herbert Richards, M. D., who had served the
Society faithfully for a number of years as its Registrar, died at his
home, in Orange, September 9 last. He was a regular attendant as a
delegate of the New Jersey Society at the annual Congresses for many
years, lie was also a member of the committee which had charge of
the pilgrimage in June and July, IQ14, from Philadelphia to Boston.
As the year 1919-1920 ends, there is a very uncertain future for the
Society. The headquarters, at 756 Broad Street, Newark, which has
been occupied for the seven years, must be vacated. For thirty-one
years the Society has been located in the center of a busy manufacturing
city, with all its noise and hurry. Shall this be exchanged for more
quid location, free from distracting incidents?
And so the old year comes to an end for the New Jersey Society.

EXTRACTS FROM REPORT OF THE OHIO SOCIETY FOR
THE YEAR ENDING APRIL 19, 1920.
The number of members added to the roll during, the year is 96.
Members who have died, K).
A chapter was organized at Marion, Ohio, January 20, 1920, named
General Francis Marion Chapter.
Some of the chapters have been quite active during the past year in
patriotic work', and especially in assisting foreign-born citizens in pre-
paring their applications for naturalization and arranging with the
Federal courts for graduating classes. One class of thirty-five was
graduated before the court recently, in which the members of Benjamin
Franklin Chapter took' a prominent part.
Constitution Day, September 17, was celebrated by several of the
chapters. All chapters report great interest nt their meetings during
the fall and winter months.
At a meeting of the State officers and Board of Managers, called by
President Doyle, held in Columbus, the Secretary was instructed to
continue correspondence with men who were eligible to membership as
reported by the Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Upward of three hundred letters have been written along this line dur-
ing the past year, giving full information as to our objects and em-
phasizing the influence of the Society in an\ community organized to
honor the ancestors of Ihe members who offered their lives for liberty
in 1776. Many replies have been received, and, as evidenced by the
large increase in membership, this appeal to persons wdio are eligible to
join our Society has brought a good response. Ninety-six members
have been recruited, the largest number for one year in the history of
the Society.
As reported by chapter officers, 122 members of the State Society
served in the World War, a number of whom were commissioned
officers, and all members of the Society are justly proud of their dis-
tinguished services, as they have proved true to the heritage handed
down to them by their ancestors of the Revolution.
Tn educational and Americanization work, all chapters have responded
to the call to duty by distributing several thousand of our booklets.
"Information for Immigrants," and a large number of copies of the
United States Constitution. These documents . were distributed to *
KKroKTs <)!• static SO( UCTJlvS. 207
schools, mining districts, and Americanization organizations, a large
number being printed in foreign languages. Never in the history of the
Society has there been so much interest taken by persons who are not
members, nor so many requests for military records of the service of
ancestors who fought in the Revolution. In summing up results, it has
been a very satisfactory year, and with the large number of young
active members, all "100 per cent Americans," who served in the
World War, we should move forward all along the lines with renewed
inspiration in our patriotic services.
