THE IA. R. CONVENTION
PLANS ARE MATURING

On next Monday tmor3ing the certified

American Bevolutiqa. Sgill convene in an
nuaI session to disciss measures which

difference how rich or prominent the ap-
plicant for membership may be. she viii

R. unless she can prove beyond a doubt
that she is descended or either side from
men or women who aided the cause OF
the American Revolution ia 1776. 1t The
NATIONAL headquarters Of the society there
are 20 be found records. documents
manuscripts. old rosters. registers. and
ether similar books Of reference. which
serve the purpose Of tracing and certify
ing the claims Of applicants for member
ship
The registrar general keeps record OF
all members and can tell almost at mo-
ment's notice by looking al the lineage
book from Whit Revolutionary stock the
thousands Of members are descended. The
lineage book is similar to the English
"BuTke's Peerage." or the "Armoury
Book" or the Almanac de Cotha. It
contains the pedigree Of the members Of
the d. a. P Il IS looked upon by the
Daughters as the infaIlible proof OF the
right Of n person To wear the insignia Of
the order, the sign Of distinction.
Those who are most prominently identi-
FED with the work Of the society do not
feel apprehensive about occasional
charges that the D. A. r. is cuItiyating
a spirit of eXclusiveness. and is drifting
toward the establishment Of an Amer
lean artstocracy and other updemocratic
pretensiJns. One Of the members said
today.
This Is the age Of speculation and
II IS only reasonable 70 suppose that those
VINO have similar interests should .0o.-k
together But there is no ground for ad-
vanciEg a claim that the Daughters Of
ihe American Revolution or any other So
clety should admit TO its ranks ali those
who can prove that they are American
born citizens Of good reputation and
standing One might as well say that all
patriotic Americans should or could be
included in one society. There are many

patriotic societies in existence and the
work Of each is best advanced by special
izing along certain lines and making Ger
tain restrictions in membership. All
societies agree on that point
1t has also often been said that the
Daughters Of the American Revolution
are spending more time and money for
badges OF distinction, family trees. the
lineage book. the IOoking-up of ancestors
and other matters which are claimed to
be OF very little public benefit, than those
measures for which they were organized.
The mere fact that the money is spent in
preserving records as a matter OF history
should be a sufficient answer to such criti-
cisms. for such work is a matter OF very
great public benefit
Speaking Of the establishment OF an
American nobility. a member Of the board
Of management of the D. A. R. said this
morning.
1t is the sovereign power. and not the
mere personal sovereign, that is the
fountain OF honor. The United States
might establish a titular nobility tomor-
row il IL chose. and yet retain All the
essentials Of a Republic.

his received authentic information that
resident Diaz intends to retire from the
presidency within six months. and viii
be succeeded by General Reyes.
The gentleman is in close touch with
the Mexican Government officials. and
says his information came from unques-
toned source.
Recent occurrences indicate TO Presi-
dent Diaz that it is doubtful If Mexico
could peacefully elect his successor in
case Of his sudden death. owing to the
ambition OF political aspirants who would
seek the presidency.
Diaz wishes to avoid such a possibility.
which would be a national calamity, by
seeing his successor peacefully installed.
It was Diaz's ambition to have his son
succeed him, but he has chosen the pro
