low Mrs. LOthrop Organized the Society
a Year Ago.
The growth and multiplication of the
patriotic societies in the last few years
have been remarkable. We have as the
latest addition to the Sons of the Revolu-
ton and the Daughters of the same, the
Children of the Revolution. There is
nothing left now but to take in the 9TH
er relatives and have the sisters, cousins
and aunts of the Revolution. The chill
dren's society, which held its first ma
tional convention in Washington the
other day, was organized year ago by
Mrs. Daniel Lothrop of Boston, widow
of the late publisher, who was one of the
most prominent makers of books in the
country, and whose life was largely
spent in printing things for the amuse-
ment and instruction of children.
Mrs. Lotbrop's idea is to band to-
gether the children whose ancestors
were Revolutionary patriots in a patriotic
cause. Her suggestion was enthusiast
ticalIy taken up by the Daughters and
Mrs. Lothrop was placed at the head of
the movement for four years term.
The first local society was formed on
historic ground at Concord, Mass, May
II, 1895. The president chosen was

As representatives Of the people in
the Legislative branch Of their govern

when the strength and excellence Of
our free institutions and the fitness Of
our citizens to enjoy popular rule have
been again made manifest. A political
contest involving momentous conse-
Quences. fraught with feverish appre-
henslon, and creating aggressiveness
20 Intense as to approach bitterness
and passion. has been waged through
out our land. and determined by the
decree OF free and Independent suC-
TRACE, without disturbance OF our tram
guilty or the least sign OF weakness In
our national structure. When We con-
slider these incidents and contemplate
the peaceful obedience and manly sub
clash OF political opinions, we discover
abundant evidence of a determination
on the part OF our cOuntrymen to abide
by every verdict OF the popular will,
and to be controlled ut all times by an
abiding faith IN the agencies estab-
lished for the direction Of the affairs
OF their government. Thus our people
exhibit q patriotic disposition, which
entities them to demand OF those who
undertake to make and execute their
laws such faithful and unselfish SER
vice in their behalf as can only be
prompted by serious appreciation Of
the trust and confidence which the ac
ceptance OF public duty invites.
I, In obedience to constitutional re-
quirement I herein submit to tho con-
gress certain information concerning
national affairs with the suggestion OF
such legislation as in my judgment Is
necessary and expedient. To secure
brevity and avoid tiresome narration.
shall omit many details concerning
matters within federal control which.
though by no means unimportant, are
more profitably discussed in depart
mental reports. shall also further
curtail this communication by omit
ting a minute recital Of many minor
incidents connected with our foreign
relations which have heretofore found
a place in executive messages but are
