roes of valor and earnestness almost beyond compare. Your Washington commanded our fighting men and low ed our Brother Jonathan Washing ton leaned upon Trumbull, gave him the affectionate nickname which In some quarters stands for our whole people; and Trumbull supported Washington with Whole-hearted devo- ton. Each of these men Is the au- thor of a farewell address marvellous in far-sighted wisdom, in practical political sagacity, in discernment that righteousness exalteth nation.
 So it Is the renewing of old ties when Virginia and Connecticut shake hands and wish each other well, as we are doing now. It is simply Wash ington and Trumbull over again pledging each to the other a strong loyalty in the cause of a common welfare.
 ITO reach back once more behind the revolution and into the beginning of our commonwealths, let me say that in all essential characteristics we were probably about the same sort of people that landed at Jamestown. at Massachusetts Bay, at Plymouth. I think this because, in my opinion, only one kind of man, in essence, can do what was done by each of these groups.

nuitants have been paid regularly All appropriations and salaries have also been paid when due, In the case of funds that have been lost, your committee, was in every case, agreed to pay the benefciaries four per cent. upon the principal of such losses until such time as said losses shall have been fully. re- stored and invested, whereupon each beneficiary will derive the entire net earnings of the fund to which it is en- titled.
 Owing to the large amount of work and responsibility involved, 1t was deemed necessary to fix upon two ad- ditlonal salaries for the remainder of the current year, viz: For the treas urer, $50 a month and necessary ex- penses. For the attorney like sum was fixed upon. In each case the sal ary was to date from February 1, 1907. This action was approved by the board of trustees at its regular meeting in April. During the process of restoring the funds lost, and the time required in which to accomplish the same, to- gether with the necessary readjust- ments, it would seem wise that the committee of six be continued, and we would so ask
 Tn the report of the attorney, E. K.

 In conclusion the report of the trus- tees says ''The foregoing facts give the outline of one of the greatest misfor- tunes that has ever befallen Baptist missionary body, not alone Connecticut Baptists. The losses of funds given for sacred purposes, the losses to needed income for the work of the current year, the loses of service that would have been rendered in seeking the sal .vation of other souls and the building up of the churches, and the loss of the man who has gone, the greatest or all, are too great for computation. De- spite this dark and distressing outlook, your board set itself to the task of re- storing all trust and other funds and
 the meeting of every obligation. The campaign to raise $50,000 has been pushed with courage, faith and per-
 sistency since the middle of April Pas tors and people alike in all of our churches have taken a stand that Is an example to all the world, The poor have given to the point of sacrifice, while the

 splendid youth. Opportunity came again. Mankind turned over a new leaf No wonder, then, that romance blossomed into new splendor and that here and there in our fair new earth were gathered memories of special heroism, of hours that were big with fate. of racial movements determina- tive of future civilization No won- der that shrines exist where every American bares his head and kneeIs in patriotic prayer and thanksgiving The bay-path through Massachusetts, the Mountain road Into the valley of the Ohio, the plains of Abraham, the Santa Fe trail, the rock of the Pll- grims-how these all thrill US with the emotions they excite! Back of them all, however, and more sugges- tive than them all, Is the fair region where we men of Connecticut assem- ble to-day in greeting to our elder sister Here was the efficient begin ming of all the rest Here, in com mon speech, things really began to happen. Here were suffering, self sacrificing valor. the sitting of the strong from the weak, the triumph of bold persistence over timid hesitancy. The same story may be told of many score places on our map, but here first of all took place the series of events to be repeated elsewhere even until within the memory of men not yet old; and so here is a peculiar sa- credness.
 we come here thinking of Captain John Smith and of the stories of him that we read when we were children We look for the Indian maiden and old Powhatan, her father. We call to mind the many brave men and braver women who, near this place and unconsciously, gave up their lives ! in building the Foundations of a na- tion. We remember, also, that 1t was here, near two centuries later, that was reached the final decision as to | our political independence. Here a mother nation, forgetful that children grow, and a young nation that would
 be it's own master, found that parting was sure to be. The pain and bit- terness are gone now, and the sense
 of klnship has come back And if there be tales of a yet deeper agony, | if other brave men have died here by thousands in the outworking of de- stiny. surely the truth that the sons of these men are together facing the problems of the present in mutual good will, are rejoicing together in the vision of new gIories that are
 beckoning to us all, this truth, I say,
 adds the finest beauty to the mem
 ories of this place.

Two Historic States.

Men of Virginia and men of Con- necticut, no man can give full express sion to the thoughts which swell within us as we look back over these brief three centuries and then forward toward the centuries that stretch into the future. It Is characteristic of our time that more and more we are dis posed to regard the present justly, as a product of the past and a prepara- ton for years to come. The student of history tells us why things are as they are. The statesman, if he be in- deed stc esman, tells us how to make new things what they ought to be. Certainly our forefathers did not at first, feel that tremendous sense of responsibility to posterity which Is so marked feature of the best political thought and action in America to-day. They could not so feel, these men with John Smith and Thomas Hooker. The actual struggle from day to day for maintenance was more than enough to absorb every energy. 1t was impossible that isolated groups of men and women, confronted by sav- age enemy, clinging with difficulty to the edge of an unknown hemisphere, should think continentally' or plan nationally. It Is the great glory and | unceasing boast of us Connecticut men that our fathers came nearer to a vision of the future than did most others. The men who took up their lives and lived them by the long riv- CT and on the shores of New Haven Bay could not indeed foresee the United States of America; but they ! did see by what sort of agreement it might be possible for people, few or many, to live together in way more fruitful, of freedom and blessing than the ways from which they had separ- ated themselves This, I say, is one principal reason why we Connecticut folk, native and citizens of a little ! spot on the map, of State third from the lowest in area though we'll up in the list for population and prosperity this is the reason that we are proud to come to old Virginia and proclaim our share in the upbuilding of that majestic national structure which commands the first and highest loyal ty of us all
 we come with affectionate con. 1 graduation to the Old Dominion

SONS OF REVOLUTION.
Graves of Men of '7e to be Properly
 Marked.

Hartford, Oct. 16.-The regular meeting of the Connecticut Society of the Sons of the American Revolution was held yesterday afternoon, at the Hartford club. Three new members, Frederick Eugene Black of Bridge port, Robert Anderson Bronson of New Haven, and Gustavus Fellows Davis of Hartford were elected. It was announced that the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolu- ton had voted s3,5OO for the educa- tion of immigrants coming to this country.
 A special effort is to be made this year to secure an Increase in numbers of the different state societies, a ban ner being offered for the society show ing the largest percentage of increase. The recruiting committee for Connec- ticut is composed of Judge Morris B. Beardsley of Bridgeport, General George H. Ford of New Haven and Dr. George c. F. Williams of Hart | ford It is hoped by these special measures to stimulate generous riv- airy among the state societies and se- cure an increased growth during the coming year.
 Seventy-five of the society's markers were ordered at the meeting to mark the graves of Revolutionary soldiers in Gilead and Danielson and 150 more will be forwarded to some of the sur- rounding towns during the coming week.

Uniform System of Control.


 And so 1t is possible to take up one great interest after another, one de- velopment of twentieth century activ- ity after another and show that ordin- ary common sense demands uniform system of control. a uniform extension of privilege. There will always be a Connecticut, there will always be Vir- ginia, Whether these names shall stand merely for half-forgotten patch es upon a map or shall continue to represent the traditions of a dignified past with the independence that Is greater than arrogant self-assertion, Is, In my opinion. to be determined very shortly by the attitude taken by the Commonwealths in dealing with questions which are the same in every one Of them. For, take notice, event. ua1ly things of general concern that are lawful in Maine mustSbe lawful in California; things of general concern that are forbidden in Florida must be forbidden in Minnesota. Who shall bring this about? If the States do not, the national government cannot withhold it's mandate and will not.
 1T have been trying to bring before you what seems to me the greatest po- litical problem of this special era. I fully believe that we are to solve this problem soon and justly, that we shall find the answer. And in meeting this further test of the practicability and permanence of our institutions I am sure that the two Starcs specially in our minds and hearts to-day will not be found lacking or adverse each to the other Both commonwealths recognize that all political advance ment depends upon the honesty and patriotism of the individual citizen Both believe that in the impartial en-

The Early Settlers.

Probably the Jamestown Colonists were more variegated in type, the earliest New Englanders more all- alike Yet the centrifugal tendency was perhaps more marked in Massa- chusetts even than in Virginia. That Is how Connecticut came to get her start. Yet men who felt that Mas sachusetts was crowded in 1886 are of the same nature as those men of

In such organizations would practical ly disappear. The simple fact is that home rule must be about the same in all the homes if the households are to live together amicably and in i'm mediate contact.
 T suppose that there are now few railroad corporations the sphere of whose operations Is confined to sin gle State. Why should they be con- trolled by two or half dozen dis agreeing masters? There is gro tesque injustice in such condition which may be remedied by comtty of States or by the everything of the States. Reasonable economics demon strates that one course or the other will certainly prevail, and prevail soon.
