Governor Dole was the first speaker.
He began by stating that he did not
know that he had any right to be a
member Of the Society of Sons Of the
Revolution and capped his remark with
an interesting local story in point. lie
further spoke OF the aims and objects
of the society as being a pleasant con
Injection to keep up the interest of So
c!ety in the period of the men who
made America great patton. The
society was also a school of patriotism
and an incentive to patriotism The
objection might be made that there
would be a tendency to foster war
spirit but war spirit of the right kind
was a beneficial thing for any nation
As matter of fact the war spirit
might be said to be too much out OF
evidence in the present period when
only two often the practical spirit of
money making occupied the minds OF
the young men.
The Governor further spoke of the
rights and benefits of American citizen
ship stating that 1t was the province
o. societies like the one of the Sons of
the Revolution to protect and keep in
tact their sacred rights. Ending his
speech Governor Dole spoke OF the
, greater tendency to settle national
matters by arbitration instead Of war
as was for instance in evidence in the
very recent settlement OF the Alaskan
boundary question. This society should
tend to inCulCate such ideas to the
American nation and America In turn
Influence the powers of Europe in the
same manner. If this society should
take up this kind Of work and cooper
ate with other societies | should bG
very glad to become a member of II,
