The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution was organized on April 30, 1889, the 100th anniversary of the inauguration of the first President of the United States, in the historic "Long Room" of Fraunce's Tavern in New York City, where Washington, on the 3d day of December, 1783, had said farewell to his brother officers of the Revolutionary Army. Delegates were present from thirteen State Societies, including California, and individual members from New York and Pennsylvania, and before the Convention adjourned, eighteen States had eigned, through their delegates, as coequal members of the new organization. The phenomenal growth of the Society has been due to the fact that it was organized on the broad American principle of one National Society, divided into coequal sister and State Societies, and the latter subdivided, wherever expedient, into local branches or Chapters; and to the further fact that no man has been admitted to membership unless he could prove his lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution. Nearly every state is now represented in its membership, as are also distant France and far-off Hawaii. By reason of these strict requirements for membership, and the spirit of its members, many men of high social position and national reputation in civil and military life have joined the Society in all parts of the country. While there is not time in this brief sketch to tell the story in detail, it may be well to speak a word of commendation for that spirit of loyalty and devotion to the memory of the Fathers which has char- acterized the Sons of the American Revolution as an organization for well nigh a score of years. Many monuments, tablets and "markers" erected, as well as many anniversaries of men and events nobly observed, have proven the mind- ful spirit of the Sons, and have been an inspiration to many citizens, young and old. True, there may come to pass a superstitious rever- ence, a too insistent regard for the men and the deeds of Revolutionary days. But that will be a shadowy and only seeming evil, if that rever- ence be transmuted by those who cherish it into the life of to-day, and into the creation and the fostering of a better and more sacrificing spirit of citizenship. And now, a word of caution seems to be needed: So great is the glamour that attaches to military service and to feats of arms that men are prone to forget or overlook the good that was wrought in Revolu- tionary days by men in the civil service of the States. It is well, of course, to remember the February day on which George Washington, the battle hero, was born; but it is well, also, to recount on a January day the unmatched civil services of Benjamin Franklin. So, while the origin of the Sons of the American Revolution is most interesting, and the story of their accomplishment most praise- worthy, the brightest page of their history will be written only when, not unmindful of the heroic deeds of war, they seek adequately to praise and to emulate the more glorious civic deeds of peace.

Mr. Edward Lowell Kelly: The Colorado Society has been duly admitted into the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. HORACE PORTER, President. The first meeting for the purpose of organizing was held at 727 Sixteenth Street, Denver, Saturday evening. July 4, 1896. Those pres- ent were: Edward Lowell Kelly, William Marvin Spears, Joseph Far- rand Tuttle, Jr., Henry Meriam Houghton, and Rev. Wilbur F. Steele.

Few meetings were held during the first year of the history of the Society. It was a formative period, efforts being put forth mainly to increase the membership. The prime mover in the organization was Edward Lowell Kelly, through whose efforts the charter was secured. President Tuttle delivered addresses on patriotic subjects at various places, and also contributed many articles to the press. Secretary Spears interested many with whom he was brought in contact during his business tours aboiit the State. Through these means and the efforts of the other charter members, the following were added, making the membership at the end of the first year forty-seven: Dr. William Riddick Whitehead.

At this meeting Compatriot Steele gave an interesting account of John Wesley's ideas of the Revolution, and Compatriot Cannon pointed out a few of the lessons which could be learned from some of the battles of the War for Independence. The meeting of Nov. 12 was held at the residence of Compatriot W. R. Whitehead, who talked to the members on "Ancient Arms and Armor," illustrating his remarks with specimens from his extensive collection. At Unity Church, Jan. 26, 1898, there was a social meeting to which the ladies were invited; Mrs. John MacMillan, Mrs. Otis B. Spencer and Mrs. F. M. Keezer entertained the Society with songs. Compatriot Downs spoke on the "Aims of the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution," and Compatriot Utter, the pastor of the church, gave an address on "Writers and Fighters, or the Dutch Contingent in the Revolution." March 11, 1898, it was voted to change the date of the annual meeting from July 4 to April 19 in each year. Accordingly on that date the constitution was so amended, and officers were chosen for the next year. Compatriot Ivers Phillips of Boulder, the oldest member of the National Society, having almost reached the century mark, was present and addressed the meeting concerning affairs in Massachusetts during the War of the Rebellion in which he took a prominent part. At Unity Church on the evening of April 19, an audience of about 500 attended an open meeting which was addressed by Compatriot F. O. Vaille on "The Battle of Lexington," Compatriot Tuttle on "Duties Incumbent on Us at the Present Time," and Compatriot Keezer on "The Fight at Concord."

CHARLES HICKS STICKNEY JAMES SILVESTER WYNKOOP 13 At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, Compatriots Hale, Draper, Coolidge, Corliss, C. E. Locke and Burr were found enrolled in the forces sent to the front. The Colorado troops were under the command of Col. Irving Hale, a graduate of West Point, and a vice-president of the Colorado Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. The flag of his regiment, the First Colorado, was raised over Fort Antoine Malate, and the first over captured property in the Philippines. The efficient services of Compatriot Hale soon caused his promotion to the rank of Brigadier-General of the United States Volunteers. June 17, 1898, "In commemoration of the Battle of Bunker Hill and to impress upon his memory the unfailing loyalty of his Society," it was voted "to present a sword to Gen. Irving Hale, Vice-President of this Society, in charge of the Colorado troops now enroute to the Philippines and a descendant of Col. John Hale, who took part in the Battle of Bunker Hill." July 1, it was also voted to present the insignia of the Society to Gen. Irving Hale, with the First Colorado Volunteers, Capt. T. Wain- Morgan Draper, with the Colorado Company of Engineers, and Maj. Charles A. Coolidge, of the Seventh Infantry, U. S. A. The following letter was received from Gen. Hale: Headquarters, 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, 8th Corps, Manila, P. I., Nov. 11, 1898. Mr. E. L. Kelly, Registrar, Sons of the American Revolution, Denver, Colorado. Dear Sir: — I acknowledge with thanks receipt in the last mail of your circular in regard to presenting the Insignia of the Society to members now in active service, including myself; also concerning the gift of a sword to me. Please extend to the Society my sincere thanks for the honor conferred, and assurance that I shall wear the Insignia and sword with great pleasure and pride. Very sincerely yours, IRVING HALE, Brigadier General U. S. Volunteers. The regular October meeting was held with Compatriot Keezer. Compatriot Kelly read a paper on "Samuel Adams, the Father of the Revolution;" Compatriot Spears delivered an address concerning stir- ring events that took place in the Revolutionary period during the month of October; Compatriot Utter compared the Spanish-American War with the War of the Revolution, and the times of '76 with the present. The programme of the November meeting consisted of a paper by 14 Compatriot Hardy on "Thomas Jefferson, the Father of the Declaration of Independence," and an address by Compatriot Jones on "Important Revolutionary Events in November from 1776 to 1783." This meeting was held with Compatriot Kelly. Compatriot Wells entertained the Society at its regular December meeting. Compatriot A. M. Edwards read a paper on "Benjamin Franklin, the Diplomat of the Revolution," and Compatriot Bardwell spoke concerning events that occurred during the month of December during Revolutionary times. Papers by Compatriot Malcolm on "Robert Morris, the Financier of the Revolution," and by Compatriot Wynkoop on "January in the Revolution" composed the programme of the January meeting. Washington's Birthday, Feb. 22, 1899, was celebrated by a banquet of the Society at the Albany Hotel. The programme of this first celebration of Washington's Birthday by the Society was as follows: "Washington the Saxon," Rev. David Utter, D. D. ; "Washington the Soldier," Dr. William Riddick Whitehead; "Our Society," Prof. George Lyman Cannon; "Washington, the President and Statesman," Rev. William Frederick Slocum, D. D. President Tuttle entertained the March meeting at his home, 58 West First Avenue. Mr. W. R. Thomas presented a paper on "Alex- ander Hamilton, the Father of the Constitution," and Compatriot Winne spoke on "March in the Revolution;" Compatriot Keezer made an address on "Washington the American." During the time the Colorado Volunteers were absent in the Phil- ippine service, there was an organization formed in Denver known as the Soldiers' Aid Society. The Sons of the American Revolution were represented on the board of officers of this organization by President Tuttle, who gave unsparingly of his time and services in its patriotic labors. The close of this year showed a gain of eighteen new members: James Silvester Wynkoop, Edwin Marion Coolidge, Rev. George T. Crissman, D. D., J. Stanley Edwards, Arthur Marvin Edwards Harold Clifton Stephens, Russell Harriman, Leonard C. Jones, James Sheldon Temple, Lewis Bailey Skinner, Stephen L. Selden, Edgar R. Locke, Walter W. Winne, Edwin Scott, Walter F. Mitchell, Dudley D. Mayo, John Lloyd Stearns, Walter C. Stickney. The regular monthly programme arranged at the beginning of the year, of papers upon Revolutionary patriots and the events of the several months of the years 1776-1783, was faithfully carried out during this year, and proved exceedingly interesting and profitable. 15 OFFICERS FOR THE YEAR 1899-1900.

On the return of the Colorado troops from the Philippines, the Society greeted its president-elect, Brigadier General Irving Hale, U. S. v., and formally installed him in office at a banquet given at the Albany Hotel, Denver, Friday evening, Sept. 8, 1899. Guests were present from all parts of the state. In opening the speech making. Compatriot Joseph Parrand Tuttle, Jr., master of ceremonies, spoke of the pride that the Society had in numbering among its members General Hale, and read a letter from ex-Governor Adams, expressing his high appreciation of the great work done by General Hale, and his regret at not being able to be present. Addresses were made by Compatriot Rodney J. Bardwell and by Rev. Ammi B. Hyde, D. D. Governor Charles S. Thomas waived his claim to being the tallest man in the room in favor of General Hale, and said: "Whether we approve or not of the war and its causes, we must honor those men who have planted the flag, and who have defended it where they have planted it. We must honor the promising business man who went to the war and now returns a brigadier general. As long as American valor, American love of liberty and American honor con- tinue, there will be a nation to be praised." General Hale made the principal address of the evening touching chiefly upon the Spanish-American War and the subsequent warfare with the Filipinos. Among other prominent guests present were: Mayor Johnson of Denver, Congressman Shafroth, and Generals Merriam and Baldwin, U. S. A. Sunday, Sept. 17, the Society participated in a Memorial Service in honor of deceased Colorado volunteers, held on the State Capitol grounds. President Hale delivered one of the addresses. The October meeting was held at the residence of Compatriot C. B. Locke. A committee was appointed to aid in securing the passage by Congress of a law to prevent the desecration of the flag. Captain Locke entertained the members present by an exhibition of his beautiful collection of swords, armor, laces, silks and pottery, gathered by him while in the Philippine Islands during the Spanish- American War. At the November meeting the insignia of the Society was formally presented to General Hale by Compatriot Tuttle, and an address was delivered by Compatriot Cannon on Revolutionary curios, presenting many interesting pictures and old relics. At the March meeting, the Registrar announced that he had re- ceived from the Registrar General six medals and certificates for mem- bers of the Society, in pursuance of the action taken by the National Congress of the Sons of the American Revolution, held in Detroit, May 1, 1899, presenting a medal and a certificate to each of the members of the Sons of the American Revolution engaged in the Spanish- American War. The members entitled to such medals and certificates were: Brigadier General Irving Hale, Lieut. Col. Charles Austin Coolidge, Lieut. Col. Augustus W. Corliss, Captain Charles Earle Locke, Capt. T. Wain-Morgan Draper and Henry B. Burr. 17 The Denver Chapter of the Colorado Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution joined with the Society in celebrating the anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, April 19, 1900, by a banquet given at the Albany Hotel. After remarks by the presidents of the respective Societies, Mrs. Daniel R. Brigham spoke on "Woman's Influence in the American Revolution," and Rev. Ammi B. Hyde, D. D., on "The Pulpit and the Revolution." On the subjects, "Struggles for Freedom — Past and Present," Mrs. Jules La Barth spoke of "The Past," and Compatriot A. C. Phelps of "The Present." Sixteen new members were added during the year 1899-1900: Rev. Levi Fay Waldo, William U. Hover, Alfred Chester Phelps, Lieut. Col Augustus W. Corliss, William Alexander Piatt, Chauncey Curtiss, Sidney Fuller Smith, Thomas William Jaycox, Jr., Capt.

At the annual meeting a letter to President Hale from Compatriot Charles Austin Coolidge, Lieutenant Colonel, Seventh Infantry, U. S. A. commanding U. S. troops at Tarlac, P. I., was read, describing the formal raising, at that place on Washington's Birthday, Feb. 22, 1900, of "Old Glory," by the soldiers under his command. At this meeting the following resolution regarding the desecration of the flag was adopted: Whereas, the United States flag, which is the emblem of the prin- ciples and dignity of our Nation, is subjected to thoughtless desecra- tion and wilful insult by its use in trademarks and articles of merchandise and dress, in costumes of disreputable characters, as banners bearing partisan political mottoes and portraits of candidates, and has been on numerous occasions torn down, trampled in the dust, fired upon and burned in political broils and anarchistic demon- strations; and Whereas, there is no national law nor local law in the state of Colorado whereby such desecration can be legally prevented or pun- ished: Resolved, that the Colorado Society of the Sons of the American Revolution urge our representatives in Congress and in the Legislature of Colorado to use their best efforts to secure such reasonable legis- lation as will forcibly impress the sacredness of the flag on the minds of the thoughtless, and protect it against the abuse of the unpatriotic and vicious. 18 OFFICERS FOR THE YEAR 1900-1901.

Eight members were added during this year: Dr. Clarkson New- bery Guyer, Samuel Allen Long, James D. Fanning, Edwin M. Pal- mer, Jr., A. Stewart Lobingier, Charles Frederick Wadsworth, Harry Wilson Dean, John T. Holbrook. The address of President Hale at the annual meeting, April 18, 1901, gives a summary of the year's work worthy of reproduction. "The past year has been one of the must successful and profitable in the history of the Society. The revised constitution and by-laws have been adopted and put into effect. Regular monthly meetings have been held, at which a systematic series of papers has been read cover- ing the events of the Revolutionary war by years, the lives and char- acteristics of the leading American and British oflBcers, and other sub- jects of general interest. "The recommendation in the last annual address that the Society take up, as an appropriate work of a patriotic organization, the advo- cacy of legislation to prevent the desecration of the national flag has been carried out in a manner which is just cause for gratification. The Society adopted resolutions in favor of flag legislation which were sent to Colorado's senators and representatives in Congress and were also presented to the Thirteenth General Assembly of Colorado with a bill drawn up by your flag committee and introduced into the House of Representatives by Hon. Wilbur F. Cannon. Considerable personal work was done among the members of the Legislature, and the support of the press was obtained, resulting in several excellent articles and editorials in favor of the proposed act. The bill passed both the House and the Senate without opposition, was promptly signed by Governor Orman and is now a law. 20 It is thus due primarily to the efforts of the Colorado Society of the Sons of the American Revolution that Colorado has been placed upon the list of states which have adopted legislation against careless desecration of the flag, which tends to deaden the spirit of patriotism, and wilful insult to the national emblem, which savors of anarchy and treason. The text of the law is as follows: "'An Act to Prevent the Desecration of the Flag of the United States and of the Flag of This State, '"Be it Enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado: " 'Section 1. Any pei'son who, in any manner, for exhibition or display, puts or causes to be placed, any inscription, design, device, symbol, portrait, name, advertisement, words, characters, marks or notice whatever upon any flag or ensign of the United States, or state flag of this state or ensign evidently purporting to be either of said flags, or ensigns, or who, in any manner appends, annexes, or affixes to any such flag, or ensign, any inscription, design, device, symbol, portrait, name, advertisement, words, marks, notice or token whatever, or who displays or exhibits or causes to be displayed or exhibited, any flag, or ensign of the United States or flag of this state, or flag, or ensign, evidently purporting to be either of said flags, upon which shall, in any manner be put, attached, annexed or aflSxed, any inscription, design, device, symbol, portrait, name, advei'tisement, words, marks, notice or token whatever, or who publicly and wilfully mutilates, tramples upon, or who tears down or wilfully and maliciously removes while owned by others, or otherwise defaces or defiles any of said flags, or ensigns, whether any of said flags, or ensigns, are public or private property, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall, on conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars or imprisoned not exceeding one year, or both; Provided, however. That this act shall not apply to flags or ensigns the property of or used in the service of the United States or of this state, upon which inscription, names of actions, v/ords, marks or symbols are placed pursuant to law or authorized regulations. " 'And provided further, that nothing in this act shall be con- strued so as to prevent the use of such flags for purely decorative pur- poses, not involving advertising and not inconsistent with the spirit of this act, on patriotic holidays and in connection with patriotic celebrations, but that the affixing, imprinting, painting or by any means causing the name, portrait or emblem of any political party or candidate of any political party to be placed, carried or displayed on any of the above described flags or banners, that it shall be deemed to be a misdemeanor and shall be punishable as above described.' "In order to profit by this victory and to guard against any pos- sibility of this law becoming a dead letter, I would respectfully recom- mend to your consideration the continuance of the flag committee with Instructions to report to the proper authorities all violations of the law and to secure its enforcement; and that all members of the Society be requested to notify the committee of any cases of improper use or desecration of the flag, which come to their notice. "Some time ago we received a communication from the trustees 21 of the American Library of Manila, organized for the benefit of all inhabitants of the Philippines, and especially of our soldiers and sailors, requesting that the sum of ten cents be added to the annual dues of each member and applied to the benefit of the Library, and also suggesting that contributions of books, magazines, and other literature would be acceptable. The Society decided, in lieu of an addition to the dues, to ask for a voluntary contribution of 25 cents. All present at the meeting made this contribution, and a circular was issued, to which there have been numerous responses in cash and reading mat- ter. There is nothing that our soldiers and sailors in the Philippines need more than good, entertaining reading matter, and there is cer- tainly no better work for a patriotic society like ours than to assist in supplying this want. "I congratulate the Society on its successful and harmonious work during the past twelve months and trust that the coming year, the first of the twentieth century, will be still more prosperous.

WILLIAM RIDDICK WHITEHEAD FRANK MERRIAM KEEZER 2'd A special meeting of the Society was called August 23, 1901, to welcome to Denver Hon. Walter Seth Logan of New York, President- general of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolu- tion. The regular meeting to have been held September 19, was omitted on account of the death of Compatriot William McKinley, President of the United States. The Colorado Society joined in the memorial exercises and parade held this day. Before these exercises the Society was called together at the Albany Hotel and the following resolutions were adopted: "President McKinley, whose death is so sincerely mourned all over the worlds was a member of the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, a soldier of honorable and unsullied name, a citizen of pure and exalted patriotism, a statesman, the peer of Washington and Lin- coln, a Chevalier Bayard in all his relations with his fellow men, a Christian who always trustfully laid his hand in the Father's hand, the incomparable American, than whom there was not in this genera- tion a finer type of genuine Saxon culture, our noble president, who so adorned his high office that he was honored with re-election. "We deplore his untimely death at the hand of an assassin; but with the memory of his dying words, 'It is God's way — His will be done," our lips are pure of malice and hate toward him who, in the loved form of our president, aimed a bullet at every American heart. "Compatriot McKinley's memory will incite our hearts to greater constancy, and our hands to purer deeds. The serene sacrifice of his life, that made a dying hour worth all of life's living, has thrown a new, sweet and human meaning over that greatest fact of human his- tory — the sacred tragedy of ancient Gethsemane. "Sorrow is the sacred resource of the life that 'has no speech or lan- guage, and whose voice is not heard,' but we know each other better, as our hearts are keyed in unison to its common note. Standing in the shadow of this great sorrow, we would specially remember with our sympathy the companion he loved so devotedly, and who was the object of solicitude so tender, of love so pure and abiding, that its memory will always be a poem in the heart of the American people. JOSEPH F. TUTTLE, JR., CHAUNCEY CURTISS, HAROLD C. STEPHENS, Committee." At the October meeting Compatriot Jones read an article on the prominent men of Litchfield County, Conn., showing how many noted men and women of the country had been born or brought up in this county.

At a special meeting of the Society October 15, 1902, the following resolutions were adopted on the sudden death of President White- head, which occurred on the 13th: "This Society records the profound sense of its appreciation of the honor which the presidency of Dr. William Riddick Whitehead has conferred upon it. He was the loved leader we all delighted to follow — a life member of the Colorado Society of the Sons of the American Revolution — a soldier whose distinguished services on the staff of Prince Gortschakoff in the Crimean war merited the extraor- dinary honor of the Order of St. Stanislaus from the great Alexander the Second; also a soldier in a, great war on this western continent, whose hands dressed the wounds, and whose loving arms tenderly carried from the field of Chancellorsville his wounded chieftain, Stone- wall Jackson, to die despite the love that would have freely offered itself, that the idol of the people might live; an honored professor for seven years of a great medical college in New York City; the honored president for several terms of the Colorado State Medical Society; the manly magnetic American whose manhood was full of rich, red blood; a doer of things and not a dreamer, 'always pleased with his own world and hating onlj^ sham and cant;' an ardent lover of our united Union; a knight among us without reproach. Dr. Whitehead, whose death we sincerely deplore, in every relation was a man whose sense of right towards his fellow man and of duty toward his God was ever set at the magic hour of high twelve. " 'Tell Emerson how I love him,' said Charles Sumner in his dying hour. This was the loving and considerate spirit of our Pres- ident in his very last thoughts and words, as to a fellow compatriot he wrote and spoke of our Society. And then with his head resting so natui'ally on his hand, he closed his eyes, and " 'God's finger touched him and he slept.' JOSEPH F. TUTTLE, JR., CLARKSON N. GUYER, PETER WINNE, Committee.''^ The February meeting was a joint meeting with the Children of the American Revolution at Unity Church. The March meeting was a "smoker" held at the Albany Hotel. The death of President Whitehead seemed to have had a depress- ing influence upon the Society during the year 1902-1903; few meet- ings were held, and but four new members .joined : Robert A. Leiper, Dr. William Kirkwood Robinson, Ernest Roy Padget, David Oliver Peelor. 27 OFFICERS FOR THE YEAR 1903-1904. President— FRANK MBRRIAM KEEZER Vice-Presidents — GSN.

On the occasion of the visit of President Roosevelt to Denver, the Colorado Society of the Sous of the American Revolution placed In his room at the Brown Palace Hotel a large bouquet of American Beauty roses tied with the Society colors. It was accompanied with the following letter: "To TumooHK RoosEVKLT, President of the United States: HoNouKi) Compatriot: Rufus Choate, in once ])resenting a ban- ner from the ladies of Salem to the Whig Club of that city, spoke of it as 'the work of hands that doubtless many of them had given away at the altar; hands for which many altars might contend; hands that have woven the web of immortal thought and recorded si)eech. The work of such hands, the gift of such hearts,' he beautifully said, 'you will prize it more than if woven out of the tints of the summer evening sunset, inscribed, wrought, and brought down to earth by viewless artists of the skies.' "In this same spirit that the value of the gift is not in the thing itself, but in the love that inspires it, will you accept this small token of the great love the Colorado Society of the Sons of the American Revolution bears for you? "The flower is the poetry of American history because God spoke his great message to the world in the immortal Mayflower compact of 1620, the sacredness of human law, the necessity of civil compact, and the freedom of the individual soul. It was the Mayflower thai- carried the precious seed of self-government from the 'little church of Leyden' across the Atlantic through that remarkable parting letter of Pastor John Robinson, that was the bright prophecy of a great nation whose government was to be a pure democracy, a democracy that was to be founded upon the brotherhood of fair play, of square dealing, of love itself, that universal solvent of all human ills and oppression. " 'It was in the cabin of the Mayflower,' says George Bancroft in one of his resonant periods, 'that humanity recovered its rights and instituted a government upon the basis of equal and just laws for the general good.' "And so, the flower has ever been God's new evangel of peace and good will to the human race. We love these American Beauties because of the sweet message of love they bear as we leave them with you, but much more do we love the American spirit of him who does us the honor to receive them. In the brief moment of your stay among us, it is 'Hail and farewell,' the welcome and the parting- all too quickly over. "Wishing for yourself the realization of every anticipation of pleasure and health in this visit, and for ourselves the pleasure of many returns of your honored presence to Colorado, that 'fair country beyond the river,' we are "Yours very cordially, HENRY J. HERSEY, IRVING HALE, JOSEPH FARRAND TUTTLE, JR., Committee." At the October meeting. Compatriot Harper Leiper spoke on the 33 "Surrender of Cornw.illis." A musical programme was rendered by Compatriots Wells, I'earse, Ilolbrook and Hills. The November meeting was a joint one with the Colorado Society of the Sons of the RevohUion to celebrate "Evacuation Day," Novem- ber 25. It was held at the Adams Hotel, James H. Peabody, president of the Sons of the Revolution, i)residing. Toasts were responded to by President Plenry J. Hersey and Compatriots Tuttle and Hale for the Sous of the American Revolution and by James H. Brown and William E. Sweet on behalf of the Sons of the Revolution. Fifty- two members from ea(;h society were present. The program of the evening for the meeting of December 28 was based on the life and works of Alexander Hamilton, on which subject Compatriots Clarkson N. Guyer and Levi Hunt read papers and Com- patriots .Jones and Studebaker spoke. Washington's Birthday, February 22, 190G, was celebrated by a joint meeting with the Colorado Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Denver Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution at the Woman's Club Building. Addresses were delivered by Very Rev. Dean H. Martyn Hart, D. D., and President William F. Slocum, D. D., of Colorado College on the "Comparative Privileges of British and American Citizens." Music and patriotic songs completed the program, after which a reception was held with Covernor McDonald and Mayor S])eer as the guests of honor. Refresh- ments and dancing completed the festivities of the evening. About thirty members met for the March meeting at the resi- dence of President Hersey with many ladies and invited guests. Papers were read on the "Life and Works of Benjamin Franklin" by Compatriots Parsons and Harper Leiper. At the annual meeting held April 19, 1906, a message of sympathy was sent to the California.

Eight members were added this year: Henry Youngs, Ashbel King St. Clair, W. Harmon Hall, Andrew Allen Beard, Tasso Vance Orr, Warren Curtis Bogue. Charles Frederick Yeakel, Irving Storrs Morse.

The Chamber of Commerce of Denver turned its February, 1906, meeting into a memorial service to Lincoln and Washington, whose birthdays came so near each other in this month. Compatriot Clark- son N. Guyer, a member of the Chamber of Commerce, in the name of the Sons of the American Revolution furnished the decorations for that meeting by permission of the president of the Chamber. One of the two principal addresses was delivered by Compatriot Joseph Far- rand Tuttle. Jr., on "Abraham Lincoln's Speech at Cooper Institute, Feb- ruary 27, 1860." 34 HAROLD CLIFTON STEPHENS.

No mountain in the United States is better known, but for many years after its discovery by that veritable Son of the American Revo- lution, General Zebulon M. Pike, in 1806, it was known by other names. Though for the last half century known generally as "Pike's Peak," it had never been authoritatively so named. It was reserved for our compatriot. General Irving Hale, representing the United States Army, to officially christen it with its rightful name, to the sound of cannon, and amid a blinding snow storm on the summit of the peak, Wednesday, September 2G, 1906. The program of exercises announced for that occasion as the principal speaker our compatriot, Rev. William Frederick Slocum, D. D., president of Colorado College. Also present at this event was Compatriot Clarkson N. Guyer, a member of the general committee of the Centennial Celebration as the representative of the Colorado Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. Another member of this Committee was Professor George Lyman Cannon, representing the Colorado Historical Society. Besides the above mentioned members who took part in the exer- cises there were present at the Historical meeting in the evening. Compatriots Solomon Barton Hardy, Walter Pugsley Meek and N. Bourelle Studebaker. At the October meeting, on account of the death of Henry Martyn Stoddard and Chauncey Curtiss, the meeting was postponed until Thursday, November 1, when Compatriot John H. Leiper read a paper on "The Public Life of Thomas Jefferson" and Compatriot Daniel A. Richardson on "The Home Life of Thomas Jefferson." At this meeting, which was held in the Adams Hotel, the visitors and members were the guests of President Stephens. To bring this history down to date it is but fitting to state that the Colorado Society of the Sons of the American Revolution and the Denver Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion are to celebrate on Saturday evening, November 24, 1906, at the Adams Hotel, the anniversary of the evacuation of the City of New York by the British.

Besides the formal literary programs rendered at the regular meet- ings, there are social features, singing of patriotic songs, vocal and instrumental music by members or their friends, and refreshments. Occasionally meetings are held at the home of some member, but in general they are held at some hotel. Ladies are invited to the annual banquet on Washington's Birthday. Joint meetings with the Daughters of the American Revolution are sometimes held. Associated with the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolu- tion is the junior organization of the Children of the American Revolu- tion, which has presented a national flag to the Clayton School, Denver. Among the patriotic works planned or partially executed, we may note: An effort to secure the adoption of a Flag Ritual in the public schools; the erection of a Memorial Gateway at the City Park, Denver; the giving of Medals for essays on patriotic subjects by pupils of the schools; contributions to the fund for purchasing a Silver Service for the Cruiser "Colorado;" aid to two Washingtons, descendants of a brother of George Washington, residing in Colorado; lectures on patri- otic topics in various parts of Denver; securing a permanent home for the Society and the collection therein of a library and Revolutionary relics. The Society has annually for several years issued a manual for the use of its members, containing a list of officers, committees and members, Constitution and By-Laws, and instructions with reference to securing proof of ancestors' services; also a monthly leaflet giving notice of the date, place and program of next ensuing meeting, and general notes regarding the membership. Voting at the annual election is conducted by the Australian ballot. A blank is mailed to each member asking for nominations for each office to be filled. From the returns the Board of Managers prepares the ballot, giving as candidates for the various offices twice the num- ber to be elected, selecting those having the highest number of nomi- nating votes. During the ten years of the Society's history, there have been many losses of members by reason of death, resignation and demis- sion lO other State Societies. Among recent removals we note with regret that of Compatriot Henry Meriam Houghton to Seattle, Wash- ington, and that of Compatriot Harper Leiper to Goldfield, Nevada. This book is prepared not only to preserve for members who have been present the memory of the exercises in which they have partici- pated, but also to enable members who have been unable to attend the meetings to become acquainted with the actual work of the Society. The Publication Committee desires to acknowledge the assistance rendered them in the preparation of this book by President Stephens, Secretary Holbrook, and Compatriot Edward W. Milligan in the com- pilation of the "List of Members and their Ancestors," and "Ancestors and their Services," and especially to acknowledge their obligation to Compatriot Milligan for his untiring efforts to secure the proper ar- rangement and typographical accuracy of the entire work. 99 "SIfBt Wt Jorsrt." It is the peculiar function of a hereditary-patriotic society to bring its members into a conscious possession of their personal connection with the men and the events of the historic past. This consciousness of an inherited participation in the glorious history of their native land cannot fail to make them better citizens. They sing "Land where my fathers died" with feelings such as no immigrant, recently arrived from over the sea, can have. In all ages nations have perpetuated the memory of their founders and preservers. Pyramid and temple, column and statue, hand down their names. While the shaft of Bunker Hill, the bronze minuteman "by the rude bridge that arched the flood" at Concord, and the sculptured boulder on the Green at Lexington remind us of the deeds of our ancestors, this So- ciety of their sons is in itself a monument more enduring than bronze, an ever-living organization, growing in numbers and influence as the years pass away, a body which should actively guard and defend, against the insidious evils of to-day, that which they wrought out in the "days that tried men's souls." In it is strength — "strength other than that of mere riches, and other than that of gross numbers — strength carried by proud descent from one generation to another — strength calmly awaiting the trials that are to come." 100 LIBRARY OF CONGRESS ■ 111' I !| |l|ll 010 731 609 7
