at East Honesdale to see the boys
off when they embarked for the war
with Spain in 1898. And l saw in
them that day the same high cour-
age and the same lofty spirit of pa
triotism that / had observed as a
boy in the volunteers who left my
native village for the Civil war in
the dark days of 81. (Applause) {.
l visited boys of Company E again
a month later in their camp on the
heights of Virginia back of Airing
ton, and / found them, like true
soldiers, ready for any service which
their country might call on them to
perform.
"But dark days fell upon the Com
pany. They found themselves a
few years ago without an armory or
a permanent company home. But
in this emergency Captain Kelley,
with patience and patriotism,
and perseverance worthy of all
praise, held his men together in the
hope and promise of better dayl
And that day dawned. This situa-
ton was called to the attention of
some of us who believe in citizen
soldiery, and in the language of the
day we "got busy" We formed a
local armory board of which Mr..
Weston was chairman, Mr.. Simons,
Judge Searle, Mr.. Hardenbergh and
myself being the other members.
We sought the cooperation of the
State Armory Board and received it.
The first thing that was necessary
for us was to provide the State with
the land on which to erect the arm
ory. We started subscription pa
per, and the first man to subscribe
and to pay-in an amount not ex-
ceeded by any other individual-was
that splendid soldier of the cross

Rev. DR.. William H. Swift. CAP

Wayne county, with a marked public
spirit and by authority of law, gave

ing them with us; and we feel that
the occasion is worthy of their pres
ence. For we are dedicating one of
the most modern, most complete,
most handsome, and best equipped
armories in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. And Company Z is
worthy of her new home. Cap
plause). For Company e has a rec
ord and a history of which we may
all be proud. 1t was organized
back in 1878 because the young men
of that time believed, as do the
young men of to-day that the safety,
the integrity of a State, of a people,
of nation, lies in the fact that it
is ready at all times to meet aggres-
sion and lawlessness by armed
force, if necessary. Very many of
the active and influential young
men of that day became charter
members. / myself was a high pri-
vate on the left of the line, and
secretary of the company organiza-
tion. The first Captain of Co. e was
George F. Bentley, strict discip-
linarian, but loved by his men as he
was by everybody. When he died
in 1861 he was succeeded by D. r.
Atkinson. And after him, in turn,
came Henry Wilson, who is still with
us. (Applause). After him George
H. Whitney, an enthusiastic guards
man, who was promoted to the post
of Major in the Guard and the best
and most enthusiastic Guardsmen
Pennsylvania ever saw. (Applause) &.
After Whitney came in turn Row
land, Lane, Wood, Smith, Osborne,
Bigelow, Simons, and last, but by no
means least, Captain Carroll ]. Kel-
ley. (Applause).
Company E was attached to the
Thirteenth Regiment and has partic-
ipated in all of the encampments, all
of the maneuvers, and has seen all
of the service which has fallen to
the lot of that regiment. 1 very we'll
remember going down to the station

us one thousand dollars. The citi-
zens of Honesdale with characteris-
tic generosity subscribed another
thousand dollars. Company q
pledged three hundred dollars. The
State Armory Board shouldered its
part of the burden to the full extent
permitted by law and the appropria-
ton, and the walls began to rise.
The entire cost of the property has
been about $4,000, of which
amount there remains in the form
of a debt eleven hundred dollars
which we hope the patriotic citizens
of Honesdale and Wayne county will
assist us in finding some means to
pay before very long. The armory
is now completed. Company e has
a home. We have reached the day
of dedication. You yourselves can
see the results of our labors and can
judge of them. For myself l look
upon the accomplishment of our pur-
pose with great pride and satisfac-
ton. For l believe in a citizen sold
iery. This country does not need
and should not have a great stand
ing army; but she does need and she
must nave a body of trained men
like our National Guard; young
men WHO Wulle lOllOW Wig In0lT VI
dinary avocations of life in every
field of industry, receive a military
training that fits them for active SER
vice in the field on an hours no.
tice, ready at all times for quick
mobilization into a great army that
shall be invincible. (Applause.)
Now this country must have
soldiers. l believe it is one of the
first needs of the country. The time
foreseen by the prophet has not yet
come when we can afford to beat all
of our swords into ploughshares, and
our spears into pruning-hooks. No
other more efficient method has yet
been devised by which to meet for
eign aggression and domestic law
lessness as by the presence in our
midst of body of well-trained
men ready for any emergency that
threatens the rights of our people or
the integrity of our flag. l believe
in peace. l yield to no man in my
love for peace. Peace among ma
tions, peace among men, peace
everywhere and always, it is Heav-
ems benediction upon earth. But,
my friends, while we gladly carry
the olive branch in one hand, we
cannot yet afford to dispense with
the big stick in the other. Cap
plause.) For the day of danger
has not yet passed, and we must
still be on our guard. We must be
ready lest by neglect or weakness,
day of peril fall suddenly upon us
and we be left destitute and in
chains. So l say it is for you and
me, my friends, to encourage and
support, and assist our citizen sold
iers until that day really comes,
when the minds of all men are filled
with wisdom, the hearts of all men
are filled with peace, until that day
when the bugles sound the truce OF
God to the whole world forever" A"
