BADGE BAD GE OF THE HOLLAND SOCIE TY OF NEW YORK

A A 1 88 DOPTED M RCH30, 7

THE n most significant medal , from an historical poi t so of view, which was ever struck in Holland , is the “ ’ ” called Beggars Medal . It is the memorial of the very first steps of that march toward civil and religious liberty in which the men of the Netherlands , after heroic struggles , finally led the world . And , therefore , who it is a most appropriate token for us to wear, have received in largest measure , in this New Republic , the benefits of the noble conflict of our Dutch forefathers . ’ Meda lli c Hi s to r o the Re ubli c o Holla nd In Bizot s y f p f , 1 0 I published at Amsterdam In 69 , the place of honor s “ given to this famous Geuz enpenning . The following description of its origin is translated from that work , with a few additions from the accounts given by Prof .

. n O . . W Kitchi , of xford J “ 1 6 In the year 5 5, immediately after the decrees of the Council of Trent were promulgated , Philip II determined to put them in force throughout his do minions . Accordingly, he now made a more vehement 1 66 attack upon the reformers ; and then it was , in s , that 1 2 TH E H OLLA N D SOCI E TY

that the Netherland nobles , led by Count Brederode , ‘ ’ O signed the famous Compromise, with which the pen rebellion of the provinces beg ins . Marg aret of Parma ’ was Philip s regent in the Low Countries . Before her Brederode appeared with the Protest against the Inquisition and other innovations which the King pro posed to introduce into Holland . He was accompanied by three hundred noblemen, who had bound themselves together for the preservation of the Liberties of the

Provinces . The Duchess of Parma appeared to be much disturbed at the sight o f such a multitude of B rl o n noble remonstrants , but the Count of a em t, who ‘ ’ rm stood beside her, begged her not to be ala ed , For, in ‘ ’ said he , French , they are only beggars . “ 6th 1 The next day, the of April , 566, as the con i federates were sitting together at dinner, and talk ng m of a name for their new party, they re embered ’ ‘ a l o nt s n s ! B r e m sneer, and cried out, Vi ve t le Gueux ‘ !’ Hurrah for the Beggars When dinner was over, ’ Brederode , having hung a beggar s wallet around his

‘ a wo o den w neck, filled bo l with wine and drank the

health of the company, declaring that, for his part, he

was ready to sacrifice life , property, everything, in ’ defence of his country s freedom . The room rang with " ’ — wa s applause, Hurrah for the Beggars ! The cup

passed from hand to hand . Every man drank the

same toast and made the same pledge of devotion . ux And thus it was that the name of the Gue , or Beggars ,

which has become famous throughout Europe , had its origin at a social feast ; for it often happens that the most important and serious aff airs begin amid jests

and laughter . “ Soon afterward the men of the new Party appeared n at Brussels , dressed in coarse gray cloth , with woode A D H HI M DAL cups attached to their belts , N WIT T S E ” HANGING ABOUT THE IR NEcx s . O ne of these medals was worn b y William of O range

at the time of his assassination .

The following is the description , translated by the l n . ic e . S first Secretary of the Society, Mr . Geo W Van , ’ from Van Loon s Nederla nds ehe Penni ng en. BAD GE o r THE SOCI E TY 1 3

The nobles assembled several times in diff erent places to find methods to protect the liberties of their country from the perils which menaced them from all sides . Those who showed themselves most zealous and most ardent upon these occasions were Henry of i Brederode ; Louis of Nassau , brother of the Pr nce of

O range ; Florent of Pallant, Count of Culemburg ; ff and William , Count of Bergen . They pushed the a air so far that meetings were held , first at Breda , and

afterward at Hoogstraten . “ At the latter place several discontented nobles pro n je cted an alliance , which , going from hand to ha d , was in a short time accepted and signed by more than O f four hundred persons , all whom promised to be in écla t Brussels on a certain day . To give greater to this n league , He ry of Brederode, as chief of the confederates , found it convenient to make his entry into that city 1 6 d A . D . 6 on the 3 of April , 5 , accompanied by Count

Louis of Nassau and many nobles , followed by a great

number of servants . The fourt h day of that month was employed in preparations and in awaiting the

Counts of Bergen and of Culemburg . Although on the

following day these lords had not yet arrived , the con federates did not delay in demanding an audience . - n It was granted to them , and the Princess Rege t appointed the hour of noon to avoid the tumultuou s

concourse of the populace . “ The time named being near, Brederode and Count Louis were seen to leave the residence of Culemburg a nd vi to walk with a decent gra ty toward the court, o f preceded by more than three hundred gentlemen ,

whom they themselves formed the last rank . When fo r they arrived before the Duchess , Brederode spoke i all , and , hav ng finished his harangue, he presented to Her Highness a petition signed in the name of all that re r illustrious troop . In this petition , after having p e

sented their obedience and their fidelity to the King,

they declared that, notwithstanding the hatred that

their procedure would very likely draw upon them, o they would risk , in the service of the King, showing t ff Her Highness the dangerous condition of a airs , and warning 1 4 TH E H OLLA N D SOCI E TY w arning her, if the protection of the Inquisition were

continued , of the terrible consequences which they

foresaw would shake the State to its foundations . They

demanded , secondly, that the edict of the King relat i ing to the Inquisit on , and relating to religion in gen

eral, be reformed by the Assembly of the States

General, and that, while awaiting this , the execution of

this edict should be suspended , as a protection against

the sad evils of which it was already, and of which it w ould be more and more, the fertile source . “ n The Regent, hiding as well as possible the u ea si f ness and indignation which this af air caused her,

received the petition, and replied to the supplicants that She would examine into their demands with the

Lords of the Council, and that in a short time she would

let them know her decision . With this response, the ’ confederate lords returned to Culem b urg s residence in the same order and with the same gravity with

which they had left it . “After the Regent had deliberated on the petition

of the nobles , that Princess replied the following day in writing that she would represent to the King their

first demand in the most favorable manner possible,

but that she was obliged to refuse absolutely the second ,

because the matter was not in her power . “ While this aff air was thus treated at the palace of

the Princess , the populace insulted the confederate i Gueux nobles by the opprobr ous epithet of , which those who understood French badly changed into Geuz en , which afterward became very common as the

name of a party or sect . Others say that the author B a rl m o nt of the sobriquet was the Baron of e , who , seeing the Regent surprised at the sight of so many ‘ Ce ne s ont nobles , tried to encourage her by saying, d ’ ue es ueux . q g However that may be , this name was

received by the nobles as a precious epithet, and soon became the most honorable title of that illustrious

league . “ 6 h The t of April , Brederode, being at dinner with ’ Cu le m b u r s his other lords of his party at g , put around w w w l ke neck a wallet, and filling ith ine a ooden cup , that

1 6 TH E HO LLA N D SO CI E TY

’ hich caused this great man to parade his beggar s gowl “ The gourd or bottle had its origin from the usage — made of it by the pilgrims that class of people who, rf r to pe orm a penance or to fulfil ce tain vows, under a take journey to the distant shrine of some saint, like Or that of St . James in Spain of Loretto in Italy . They are obliged to go there begging by the way, and they - carry this bottle gourd , or calabash, attached to the girdle, for the purpose of carrying water for their use when they have to traverse dry and arid parts of the country . For this reason these allied nobles made use both of the porringer and the wallet as an emblem of poverty, and to turn into pleasantry the name of beggars , which had been given to them with so much indignity . This is not all . These lords , wishing to engrave on each other’ s memory the vow which each the r had made to defend p ivileges of the country, even to carry the wallet, took pride in wearing on the breast O certain medals attached to ribbons, and very ften joined with a porringer and a gour The form adopted by The Holland Society is a fac simile of the one to which are attached two such por ringers and a gourd or bottle, and shows on its face the armed bust of Philip II of Spain , with the first half ” E FID EL L E RO Y of the motto, N TOUT S AU , and on the

reverse two wallets , between the straps of which are

two hands joined , with the remainder of the motto, “ ” A P LA B SA J USQUES ORTER E CE , together with the 1 66 date, 5 , the figures of which are, however, separated , one in each corner formed by the crossed hands and wallets . a Plaster casts of origin ls of various sizes, in the

ADD RESS OF WELCOME

H S YM VAN ANTV O O RD O N. E OUR S Onbehalf of the members of The Holland Society of New York I cordially welcome its distingu ished guests

who have complimented us by their presence tonight . w At this time of universal rejoicing, hen the curtain has fallen upon the most dreadful tragedy in authentic his tory— with the epilog ue to be pronounced at the Peace Table alone remaining— the spirit in which we have assembled adds to our jo y in the pleasures of hospital In ity, as it arouses a keener delight those of g ood fel l ws hi o . i p A year ago, with all organized soc ety at i w In gr ps in mortal combat, and ith death poised wait r o w ing to exact its toll f om our ngallant countrymen , wa on their y to the battle field s of France, it was in sad ness

seeds of future wars ? As loyal sons of our liberty-lov ing forefathers , and of the Government consecrated to

liberty which they helped to establish , we cherish an ardent hope that the approach to the Peace Table at Versailles may be along the pathway which the con science of America carved out for itself when it entered the war :which although steep and narrow and hard to climb , in the end shall lead mankind up among the r peaks of human libe ty, into the gardens of our highest

ideals and to the altar of our loftiest aspirations . In the meantime we all are rejoicing that Freedom has been given a new birth . We all are modestly proud that our own gallant sons have contributed their life blood to the baptismal font . We all are earnestly pray ing that in the new order which is to come the right of equal oppo rtunities in the pursuit of happiness shall not re be shackled by social or economical injustice, by i lig io us intolerance, by polit cal insistence . We all are passionately hoping that the right of self-determination shall be the first postulate in the new Magna Charta of human government— to the end that this basic prin ciple of every free civilization shall be no longer at the “ ” so - mercy of those called National aspirations , which have their roots in the ignoble subsoil of national van

ity and are watered by commercial selfishness and greed . And thus we all are united in conviction that upon the mile stone which is to mark this latest triumphant a d i vance in the war for the liberat on of mankind , by uni versal consent there should be inscribed that splendid axiom of the Convention of 1 792— which breathes the

lofties t aspiration of the French Revolution, which , as

Victor Hugo declares, in a single sentence comprises “ all human social law— The Liberty of the individual ends where the liberty of another individual begins !” The President then said : In recognition of that which at least ought to be clos

est to our hearts tonight, let us stand in a silent tribute to the memory of those members and sons of members

of this Society, and as well to all those gallant country

m e no f ours who have given their lives for liberty . (All rise) The President then said : Addressing

Addre ssing myself now alone to the members of The w Holland Society, ( ith the approval of the Trustees , and perhaps I should say also with that of their masters for u the time being, the A tocratic Banquet Committee) I

present for your consideration , and it is hoped your a p t : proval and adoption , h is brief memorial tribute The members of The Holland Society of

New York, in annual reunion assembled , record their profound sorrow in the death t of their dis ing uished fellow member, The

odore Roosevelt . As one of its charter f members , his a filiation with the Society had remained unbroken nearly thirty-five years— under which circumstances alone his death would have aroused unusual

emotions . But the conspicuous posi tion which he occupied in the life of the w orld , his commanding influence in the beloved country of his birth and the lofty eminence which he had attained in con temporaneous history prompt a modest expression of our pride and gratification

that so rare an achievement, so remark

able an accomplishment, so splendidly unique a life-work should have sprung from the heritage of an Holland-Dutch — in ancestry, become American which heritance is the sentimental bond of a ffil ia tio n in The Holland Society of New

York . The dauntless courage, which before all other attributes must ever challenge

the respect and admiration of mankind ,

the martial spirit, the unfathomable ener

g y , the boundless enthusiasm , the amaz in ing versatility, the spotless personal e rit w t g y , and above all else that hich he the himself first cherished , intense and deathless A m e r i c a n i s m O f TheO

dore Roosevelt, in their rare association 82 TH E H OLLA N D S O CI E TY

at once made him great among all great

men of action, with a lasting place in the history of his country’ s highest ideals and

notable accomplishments , and enshrined

him forever in the hearts of his friends, as an exemplar of th eir ideals in personal

character and conduct. A brave and dauntles s soldier in the

war for the liberation of mankind , the sword as well as the laurel wreath should a be laid upon his bier . A fe rless and de voted patriot he has won immortality in

the annals of liberty . A hater of sham and hypocrisy he has gained for himself

a shrine in the temple of Truth . Militant

to his latest breath , he died as he lived with sword in hand at the head of the

storming party . And we may think of him as having risen out of this dust”

with fearless spirit, with heart at rest, and with those soul-stirring words of the im mortal Latin singer o nhis dying lips “

e t . Dulce decorum est, pro patria mori

President Van Sa ntvo o rd continuing : I am sure the Secretary may make a note that the tribute was adopted by acclamation in a rising vote . The President of the Society then said :

In a letter which I recently received from Paris , de f scribing the reception there o President Wilson , my correspondent stated that as the President’ s carriage approached , an emotional Royalist who was sitting astride one of the captured German cannon which lined the Champs-Elysees frantically waved his hat and Vi se Le Roi i i shouted, W lsonet La Re ne Ga lt. While in this country we are not yet quite prepared to cheer King Wilson and Queen Galt as such, no citizen of this Republic, possessed with a spark of national pride, can have been unmoved while the head of the State was being acclaimed throughout Europe as the arbiter of the fate of civilization , and no one

w nor deny, but occasionally a bit of isdom comes from no w some other country and then , and the one that o c ’ curs to m e now is the retort courteous : I didn t care very much for this introduction . But they have a saying in the South , that if you have anything to say

. I c n to a mule, you want to say it to his face a n o t imagine how a Chairman , or a Committee, or a Society will have the courage to invite a Scotchman here and confront him not with a bowl of punch but with a “ ” typewriter . It is adding insult to injury ! And t for that reason , if for no o her, I decline to stand here L r a nd a la u . a u e e and praise the Dutch ( g ht pp s . )

In the first place, not knowing how much intelligence m there is in this audience, I am afraid so ebody might “ ” “ ” think when I said Dutch , that I meant German . ? Not quite as bad as that I accept the situation . Certainly it is true that because the Kaiser has now found a haven of refuge behind the protecting skirts h ’ of the Queen of Holland , t is doesn t make him a ’ — e Dutchman and it doesn t mak the Dutchman , thank ! God, a German That is one reason why I decline to praise the Dutch , although you might think that to

praise them would be to paint the lily, to add a per fume to the rose, to gild refined gold , and to add a new color to the rainbow . But there is another reason . The Scotch are as chary and sparing of their compli L r ments as they are said to be of their money . ( a ug hte ) I remember hearing all my life from my old Scotch father the anecdote, that you all know, of the Scotch man who went to Glasgow and complained to his friend

Donald , that it was a dreadfully expensive place, Glas ’ “ gow ; that he hadn t been there a day before Bang ! ” went a saxpence . But I never heard the conclusion of that story until I happened to hear a Scotchman on “ few who a train in Scotland a years ago, said , There is something more to that story : His friend said to “ ” him , How did you spend a whole saxpence ? he ” Ma istl said y upon wine and women . Now I came from a town called Schenectady— i t must

— have a familiar sound . It is either Indian or Dutch no

one has been able to find out which ; it might be either . In TH I R TY- F O U R TH AN N U AL D I N NE R 85

In the days when religious liberty was something

quite new, as applied at least to education , a college wa s founded there, the first undenominational college founded in this country . It was founded by Dutch

men inSchenectady . They called it Union College and in the Charter there is a provision that at no time shall a majority of the trustees be of any one religious de i . n 1 nomination That was 795, and I will say to the o c credit of the Dutchmen , that that could not have

curred under any other nationality, even the Scotch .

I will say further, that I suppose so far as we can trace

the birth of modern political liberty, (I hate to say

this , but I will) it dates back to the United States of

Holland in 1 581 . There was one curious thing about

that, however . They incorporated a very remarkable provision in the instrument which we might call their

Charter, but which was really an instrument of

abjuration ; they embodied in this Charter, that no bill of taxation should be passed without unani mous consent— and I am wondering how that would

appeal to Mr. Kitchin, for instance, in these days of liberty — I propose to be personal if

I choose, because I have already been informed by your Chairman that liberty begins certainly

with liberty of speech . r Now, the feeling uppe most in my mind tonight is a feeling of profound gratitude that this war was not per

la use . m itted to end until we had a share in it . (App ) i It has been a magnificent Victory . It is a v ctory

more complete, I believe, than any one of us dared to

hope ; but if we had had no share in the fighting, we

should have had no share in the victory . As I look back upon the days in the latter part of 1 9 1 4 and the

darker days that were still to follow, I confess I have - no feeling of pride . Belgium had been over run ; Eng land was losing men sometimes at the rate of a w so - day ; we ere sending notes and protests , called , that had about as many teeth in them as a dish of h sweetbreads , and t e Hun was clawing his way through

Belgium, mutilating children , Violating women , shoot ing nurses whose only fault wa s that they ha soft llea rts 86 TH E H O LLA N D SOCI E TY

s heart , sinking our ships , weaving their devilish plots s under the very shadow of our capitol . I will get thi o ff the my mind at once, and I think I am speaking la u e w . t mind of many here (App s . ) I think e mus all agree that in spite of the magnificent showing we have made, there is still something to atone for .

But we arrived at last, and when we arrived , itwas a great v arrival . The Germans hardly belie ed we had arrived , until we had more than arrived . I heard of a German who once arrived in San Francisco during the gold fever, w and some months after, he met an American hom he New ee had seen here in York . The American had b n around the world in the meantime, but the German could not imagine where he had come from, so he began “ to question him in his German way, and he said , Haf you come the prairie across ?” The American re lied ” “ No . The German said , Haf you come the sth ” “ ” “ ? sa Id mus over The American No . Haf you ” come the Horn around ? NO . The German re “ plied Thenyou haf not arrived . It is a most per la us e a nd feet example of German psychology . (App la hter ug . ) d An when we did arrive, they could not under AS wa s stand . one of the German officers who cap “ ’

ure . t d said , They don t know how to fight You never know whether they are going to Shoot you with a g unor whether they are going to hit you over the head t with a club , or whether they are going to s ab you in the stomach with a bayonet, or whether they are going to spit in your eye with tobacco juice— they have no ” system . w w r . f e Well, e a rived O course cannot get out of : our minds the terrible sacrifices ten million , perhaps , dead , ten million more crippled ; how many homes desolated , how many women driven mad by abuse, de how many children mutilated , how many towns S r ? t oyed , how many good ships at the bottom of the sea

God only knows . Perhaps we might be inclined to think that we have paid high for what we have gotten , ’ h but I for one don t think so, for when you have gat ered together all the sum of these untold treasures it seems

words . And we have had certain catch words in this “ ” w r we : a that have used very glibly Liberty, “ ” “ Equality, and above all , Democracy . The Pres ident, himself, has coined a phrase which has been a

Godsend to the cracker box orator ever since . When ’ o f ever he couldn t think anything else to say, he said , “ ” We must make the world safe for Democracy . I suppose if we could by some delicate surgical O peration get into the minds of the millions who have applauded that sentiment, we should find some very strange re S sults . I suppose a good many hould feel that every wa s one going to be his own boss, but there would be other interpretations that would be grotesque ; they w ’ ould be humorous if they weren t, many of them , ’ tragic . I haven t the slightest bit of doubt that there are many millions in this world and that there are many r hundred thousands , if not millions , in this count y who regard democracy somehow as the sort of thing reco m e Tro k mended by L nine and tz y , and I think our chief business in this country at this moment is to see that ’ this interpretation of democracy doesn t get root here .

The germ of this is already with us, as we know full well , but we must see to it that it does not become epidemic . A germ is no respecter of persons . A germ ’ is a kind of cosmopolitan ; he doesn t care what kind of a person he attacks . He gets into any system he ha p pens to come across . That germ has gotten in and has become epidemic in many of the countries of the O ld — O ld World what we call the World . It has control in Russia . It is contending for control, as we know, in Germany and in Austria ; it is pretty strong in Ita ly under the name of syndicalism , and it is very strong ’

. o d also in France Thank G , it isn t so strong in Eng - land and in the United Sta tes . The Anglo Saxon mind doesn ’ t seem to be quite as good a culture for the bacillus Bolsheviki as other minds . We have had - freedom longer, we have had our self government longer and therefore it is harder for it to get a hold upon us , w but it is a cro d disease like influenza , and it is very as to u nding how it manages to make its way even in con s titu tio ns that might almost seem to be immune TH I R TY-F O U R TH AN N U AL D I N NE R 89

We say democracy has won over autocracy . What we have to fear now is not a man on horse back . What u we have to fear now is the a tocracy of mere numbers . ’ Democracy isn t a question of majorities . The con trol of the mass is a counsel of anarchy . The mass never did control itself ; it never did raise itself and ld — never can . We read in the O Testament The Old Testament is the only part of the Scriptures I have wa r cared to read during the , especially the imprecatory ’ psalms . They have fitted a man s thought better than

any other part of the Bible . It is hard for me to get anything out of even such true and beautiful injune “ ” tions as Forg ive your enemies . It reminds me of

an old Scotchman . (I get back to the Scotch again , and it is astonishing how the Scotch history and char

acter will illustrate almost any phase of human thought . )

There is a story related by the Scotch , of how an old

Chief in the Highlands was about to die, and his strong

sons were standing by him, and an old Covenanter “ minister was there, and he said , Before you die, you ” “ must forgive your enemies . I will not forgive i Ch efta n. them , said the But his end drew nearer,

and finally, raising himself upon his elbow and flashing a light out of his black eyes and addressing himself to

his oldest son, who stood by his bed , he said to the “ minister, I forgive them ; but, turning to his son, he “ said , May God damn your soul if you ever forg ive

them . e ld That is about the fe ling I have . In the O Testa

ment we constantly meet with this statement, when it refers to any reform ation or any improvement that took place : That God raised up such and such a man

and that man did it ; he raised the mass . So I say, the thing we must watch very carefully is that we shall not get the notion that the mass of peo ple here or any m where else can save the selves or raise themselves .

(Appla use . ) And it would pay us very well in effort o r o wn e and in money to get it into the minds of u p ople, ’ that democracy isn t a form of government, but a prin

ciple of human life . We talk a great deal about the w ’ fathers , and they ere great men ; they weren t in love with 90 TH E HO LLA ND SOCI E TY

with any form of government ; they chose a Republic , ’ but they weren t in love with that form ; they chose it because they thought in this form they could best ex

press the spirit o f democracy . It has succeeded b e

yond all our expectations , but the reason it has suc ’ cee ded isn t because of the perfection of the mechanism

but because of the soundness of the principle . This

country has succeeded because, with all our weaknesses and all the national diseases under which we have suf w fe red , e have always kept true to the love of liberty ; w ’ we have al ays believed in , although we haven t always we w practiced , equal justice ; have al ays had in our m inds a true and sound conception of real democracy,

although we have never yet attained it . That is the ! reason These men , who had the molding of this Re

public for at least twenty years after it was founded , were the hardest headed of men ; they were men who knew facts as facts ; they knew what brass tacks were

they had stepped on them . They were men who did concrete thinking ; who knew exactly what they wanted , and who could bring sound principles to every con

. t crete problem And besides tha , they were men of - first rate ability . You have only to mention the names ff of George Washington , Thomas Je erson , James Mad s n s i o , John Adams , John Mar hall and Benjamin Frank s lin , and perhaps greate t of all , your own citizen here,

Alexander Ham ilton . Talleyrand said he would place Alexander Hamilton alongside of Napoleon and Charles

F . James ox Well, those were the men in a nation of four millions . We have now a nation of one hundred i ' o flha nd . m llions . Can you name a group of men in this generation whom we dare stand alongside of them ?

It is a surprising fact that we cannot do it . Therefore e I say, the qu stion today is a question of leadership ; ffi it is a question of getting men , getting men of su cient size to face the gigantic problems that stand before us today . They had some queer notions in those days . They believed they ought to choose the best men for s n i the mo t importa t serv ce, without asking what party n’ w t . a Is hey belonged to Th t t hat we do nowadays . In o u n s n i f ding thi cou try , they had some other d a s tleat

92 TH E H OLLA N D S OCI E TY

upon a new stage in history . We are going to offer w at least this democracy hich we prize so much , we are ’ going to off er it to, although we aren t going to thrust

it upon, the other nations of the world . We are start — — r in leading, we may say this enterp ise of the League g m of Nations . We all believe in it . So e believe that

the golden hour has struck . Pray God , it may . But we have got to get it out of the twilight soon and into

the region of concrete thinking . Certainly the way to make it a success isn ’ t by any airy and general treat

ment of the subject . We cannot do it all at once . The

President has said , (and we believe rightly) that we don’ t want to enter upon this unless all the nations of ’ the world shall come in . He doesn t mean , of course , that we shall wait until they come in— that would be impossible — but he is describing and defining the scope

and purpose of it all , and we believe we will agree with n him upon that, but some of us think we can begi with

out waiting so long, some of us think we can begin by the

right combination . Obviously we must make a choice . We cannot make a League of Peace with the United States and Guatemala and Greece and the island of

Haiti and Abyssinia , but we can make it with France

and Great Britain and Italy . That will do to begin it . : I will say more we can begin with two, if they are r the right two . If Great B itain and the United States i unite in spirit, unite w th their fleets and with their

land forces to keep the peace, what power on earth ? la us e will dare to break the peace (App . ) And let me say one thing in conclusion : While we must see to it that this League of Peace is a strong ’ league, and we must help to make it strong, we mustn t

do it by weakening ourselves . It is a fallacy to suppose that the democracy of the world will be made stronger or more safe by making it less strong and less safe in w this democracy . Internationalism is the ildest and

the most absurd of all propositions . Will a man be a better citizen because his family ties are loose ? Isn ’ t

the man the best member of the State, who loves his home and who stands ready always to defend it ? And isn ’ t that nation strongest that is made up of such men ? And TH I R TY- F O U R TH AN N U AL D I N NE R 93

’ w And hasn t the orld , if it is going to be strong, got to be composed of strong nations ? It is our business then not to encourage the break ing up of Europe into many small sta tes ; to make Balkan States of the whole of Europe ; to keep us in the fever of anxiety, but to strengthen the hands of the strong nations, that together we may be strong, just as strong men by their very strength are able to co -operate and s unite with other strong men . So I say, to make thi

League of Nations strong, you do not want to have the

Frenchman love France less , or the Englishman love

r . England less , or the Am erican love Ame ica less We shall strengthen the League of Nations the most effectively by strengthening our o wn America and by standing more firmly for the ideals of justi ce and of equal rights for which we have fought, for which we are prepared to fight, and which we mean to make more real in these diffi cult reconstruction days that lie before

reminiscences run so singularly one way, and yet it is a serious business to undertake to follow Dr . Richmond , and it would be an unwise person who in such circum stances attempted to deal with the large questions of w our time with that lightness of touch hich is Dr . ’ Richmond s own .

. u I have been , Mr President, somewhat dist rbed in remembering that the topic of our talk this evening is “ ” w Liberty, because, as I came do ntown my eye caught the headlines of an evening paper which read “ L . b a ud . United States goes dry . Mrs e y goes to jail Is there a subtle connection here not explained by the press?l Has the American people decided to put itself P In Ja I a l You have been so personal , Mr . President, as to lude to ancestry, and that has reminded me of a cir cum sta nce of which I think I may rightly be proud . While looking over some ancient documents of Massa chu set ts Bay, I made the discovery that my ancestor,

George Giddings of Ipswich , for numerous successive terms a member of the Great and General Court of

Massachusetts , distinguished himself in a somewhat w unusual a y . As a matter of principle he announced that he should refuse to pay a tax levied by the town of Ipswich upon all citizens for the support of the preaching of the Gospel . He was a Puritan and far from having any objection to the preaching of the gospel, he was , I learn , very fond of it, but he said , in “ effect, We have come to this new land for the purpose of esta blishing liberty, and we shall never have liberty here if we are to have a State Church here . The case wa s went to the courts ; and to the General Court, and decided against him .

TH I R TY-F O U R TH AN N U AL D I NNE R 95

But in that first case in our history in which this contention was raised , the germ of liberty, as President

Richmond says , was put into our colonial and after wards into our national life, and that principle of lib et ty for which George Giddings contended became a part of our American liberty and of our American

la us e . democracy . (App ) In my boyhood it was my good fortune to live in that Western county of Massachusetts , which had been s a land fought over by English and Dutch claimant , and among the people that I knew were representatives of both old English families and families from Holland , and tonight I recall as a curious circumstance that my first notions of liberty were obtained from my Dutch neighbors and not from neighbors of English descent . My own people and their relatives and neighbors of ’ t English descent were of the stern sort . I don t hink that they believed very much in individual liberty . In fact I long since came to the conclusion that the Puritans didn ’ t come to this country to establish in dividual liberty ; they came to establish group liberty, t or prac ically the liberty of an organization , the lib rt e y of men who thought alike in certain matters , and who didn ’ t propose to have their control over them interfered with either by the Church of England or by

Quakers or Baptists , and their attitude toward life I found very prevalent as late as my own generation . D usens But among the Burghardts , the Van e , and wa s other Dutch families , I found another feeling . It a strong feeling for personal liberty, and I liked it . It colored my thinking . A little later when I went to Schenectady (the good old town of “ Dorp” as we called it) as a student at Union College, I mingled as one might expect in the undenominational college that

Dr . Richmond has described , with boys from all parts of the country and of all religious denominations , and

I found among them the true spirit of personal liberty .

It was a real individualism , a sense of the responsibility of the individual, a notion that while group solidarity in Church , in State, in industry, in education , has its ricele s priceless value, there is another liberty also p , ttse 96 TH E H OLLA N D S OCI E TY

the liberty of the man himself to follow the dictates of

his own conscience, and be guided within all proper

limits by his own reason . I have Since come to think that it is this liberty above all which has made our Nation the power that

it is today . Why was it that when we had entered late th e into war with Germany, within so short a time we

massed and organized tremendous forces , not always

perhaps without mistakes , but on the whole with marvelous success ? I am confident that it was because America for 300 years has been making men who ’ aren t afraid of individual initiative, who do not hesi

tate to take personal responsibility, who never have failed when the question has been put squarely m a n “ ” n to man Will you do your share ? (Appla us e . ) U

happily there has been infused into this strong, rugged individualism of ours a measure of certain other qual ities that perhaps have in a way checked our better

activities . I am reminded by the Scotch allusions and stories of

another, that used to be told by that much beloved

man, the Reverend Dr . Robert Collyer, who, I believe never preached the pa cifism that is no w associated w ith the Church from which he departed . He said that once in the town of Glasgow there was an artisan

who married a pretty lass from the Highlands . They lived together happily and faithfully for many years “ ” until the wife to ok sick and neared her end . Calling

her husband she said , Tam, I have a last request to ” “ make of ye . He listened and she said , Tam, when

I am gone, ye must take me back to the Highlands to bury me ; I never could rest easy in Glasgow Ta m “ ’ thought a while and answered , Well, Janet, we ll try ’ ’ ca n l ye a while in Glasgow first, and if ye na rest we l

take ye back to the Highlands .

It is possible that not only among our Scotch friends ,

but among others, there has been a little too much of

the sort of thought that wa s in the mind of Thomas . I am reminded of another story told by a colleague who

used to spend his summers in Northern Vermont . He

and his wife were fond of colonial furniture, and they picked

98 TH E HOL LA N D S OCI E TY

Do we not see today in Russia , in Berlin and in Bre

men , what happens when men who have never learned how to control themselves intelligently are given lib e rty by a sudden removal of restraints ? Surely we want in this country the liberty that i s created and maintained by men whose freedom is s rooted in conscience and in intelligence, in moral and

. A in manners , rather than in the letter of the law ( p

la use . p ) It is for this reason , I suppose, and I trust, that many of our fellow citizens feel as I do— that the country has made a profound mistake which it will deep l i c y regret, in tak ng the ontrol of appetite out of the “ realm of manners and morals and the behavior prop ” er to a gentleman and making it a formality of law . A la use ( pp . ) I believe that the highest civilization cannot be a t ta ined if we g o too far— and now I am speaking with a due sense of responsibility as a descendant of Puritans if i we go too far in carryi ng out the Pur tan idea , that religion largely consists in making our neighbors re v lig io us . I think that we ha e something yet to learn

from England , from Holland, from France, the coun tries where the modern liberty o f the Western world

arose, was nourished and grew strong . In those coun tries to this day liberty Is rooted and grounded Inthe notion that it is up to every individual man to main

tain control over himself, guiding his conduct by the

reason and the conscience within himself, apart from

which no system of laws , no system of oversight of man by his fellowmen in the name of righteousness can pro l e the . A a us duce real thing ( pp . )

And I would go farther . I hope that we shall not too much insist at Paris in imposing our ideas upon the A l use world . ( pp a . ) I most sincerely desire that our

ideas , so far as they are worthy and wise, shall make

their way into the world and throughout the world , and fructify the moral and so cial energies of man

kind . But I do not wish to see this country saying to “ the other countries of the world : We have wisdom ; we know what democracy is ; we know what justice is ; we know how the world should be organized po lit Ica lly TH I R TY- F O U R T H ANN U AL D I N NE R 99 ica ll y , and we are graciously telling you all about it, and expect you to accept our philosophy and our plan .

(Appla use . ) w u — i Yet, I ant to see a Leag e of Nations f I may say a word about the subject on which Dr . Richmond w has spoken so admirably . I ant to see a League of Nations ripen out of the ideas of the first man in this w orld who had a reasonable, a thoroughly intelligent wa s idea on the subject . That man the Hollander — l w Hugo Grotius the creator of international a . (Ap l u t p a se . ) Hugo Gro ius did not propose that the na

tions should get together and Sign a pledge . He pro o po sed something much more substantial . He pr posed that the nations should deal with each other as rational men : that they should try as far as possible to bring their dealings with one another to that basis t of fair unders anding, of reasonableness , and of law, which already was taking shape in the beginnings of that body of principles which today we know as con u o na l stit ti law within the State itself. It is true that a mere understanding among the peo ples of the world to live with one another according to due process of law, and in keeping with the principles of our common morality and observance of those man w - ners hich are customary among well bred men , is but a weak affair from the standpoint of those who suppose that all nations could be brought into a super-national organization by a pooling of sovereignties , and that

thenceforth there would be no balance of power . The idea of a league of free and la w abiding nations to co l w operate in maintaining international a is sound . The very different proposal to create a super-nation inclusive of all nations is preposterous . It is a sug gestion to set up the most amazing perpetual motion

machine that the mind of mankind has yet dreamed of . t If, hen , in the future as in the past, certain nations probably wi ll observe the principles of international

law, while others like Germany four years ago will try

to destroy them, wherein lies our safety ? You may ? say where, indeed , unless we resort to force I answer, yes , let us resort to force when it becomes necessary, as 100 TH E H OLLA N D S O C I E TY

u as it did in this latest war . If the issue sho ld arise

t . again , let us do again what we did this ime Let us not assume that until men are prepared to live tog ether in

s . reasonablene s , we can avoid all quarrels , for we shall not How has the world made the advances that already it has made ? O nce a large part of mankind resorted every now and ’ h ? then to cannibalism . It doesn t do that today . W y Because men became too good to be cannibals ? Cer nl d ta i y not ; but because somebo y invented a hoe, and then a plow, and it became easier and safer to obtain foo d by systematic agriculture than by head hunting .

Once the whole world believed in slavery, and slavery was never pushed and expanded as it was just before we Americans became a Nation . England , in the days the of Queen Anne, was in a furore of excitement over

African Company, which was a corporation organized to conduct the slave trade and put Slaves into all the colonies of the new world . Among the principal stock O f holders the African Company, it may interest you to know, were Queen Anne, the Archbishop of Canter the bury, and Archbishop of York . Did slavery drop out of the world because the whole world became con ? verted to the doctrines of brotherly love Indeed , no . w It became possible for the orld to grow, to do things in and to expand without slavery, because somebody vented the steam engine . The day may come when it will be cheaper and easier for everybody in the world to get what he wants b e cause o f some new invention or discovery which today we do not so much as dream of. If so, war will cease . Until then the only thing we can be sure of is that more and more of the nations of the world, like more and more of the individuals of each nation, will through experience learn that the liberties of men reside within themselves and are in their own keeping and cannot be created by drafting good resolutions or by pious l .

- e e : e Mr . President, and Fellow M mb rs We p ople ’ of Dutch descent don t boast of our thrift, or our a c veness q uisiti , or our gift of appropriating to ourselves the good things of the earth ! When we have a ban quet we invite the representa tives of all other sto cks and give them three-quarters of the places on the pro o gram . More ver, this body would be willing to give

them all . They have incidentally referred to the fact that Hol land created and gave to the world religious equality

and that Holland gave to the world political liberty . Holland created and gave to the world the first system

of international law, on which today you are attempt ing to bu ild a new edifice on the foundations there

sketched . And when the Scotch sent their kings to t Cha rleses a nd England , heir Jameses and their , they appropriated 102 TH E H OLLA N D S OCI E TY

r w appropriated eve ything ithin sight and beyond , and d t s the country had to be redeeme , the Bap ist went ove r

to Holland and learned religious liberty, and finally the British brought over a king from Holland to save

their souls . The Dutch came here to the wilds of the w new orld and set up a new city on Manhattan Island,

and when the others followed , with our usual g enero s w w h ity, e turned it over to them , ith all t e elements of civilization with which we had endowed their fore

fathers inthe old world . ’ But I don t think that represents the greatest gift

of the sons of Holland to this new world . There are n two others I want to mention . O e is that your a n cesto rs felt the call to establish or help to establish in new the New World a nation , separate and apart from th any other nation in e world, and with their usual - fi o o self sa cri ce, they c perated with the men of English speech in building on the foundations of English law a o republic dedicated to liberty, justice, and dem cracy, the the which were ideals of Holland Dutch , quite as much at least as of the people whose language came to

prevail here .

Secondly, and this perhaps is still more important t at the present ime, your Dutch ancestors set an ex

ample for the United States , which I am sure will have to be followed if the unity and security of this republic

are to be perpetuated . They underwent the great sa crifice — for it is a sa crifice— o f renouncing their o wn speech and adopting the English language as the la n l se a u . guage of the nation. (App ) And we have a right to say today to all who have come to the Republic who a in the years that followed , and are now live, that events since 19 1 4 have convinced us that the national ’ ity of a people isn t secure unless the citizens and residents of the Country learn the langu age of the coun — he W ff try t language of ashington , and Je erson, and

l A la use . Linco n . ( pp ) And the Holland Dutch set this great example to the newer comers who had come here to improve their lot in life , to share the blessings of

t of his interests, touching humani y at so many points , that all good causes and all good men turned to him

to lead them . And he led them, led them with his

inexhaustible energy, and the freshness of eternal youth . It is hard to think that Theodore Roosevelt to our pur

poses lives no more . We in this Society bid him a

proud farewell, as the most patriotic of Americans, the

most distinguished of the men of our descent, twice - President of the United States, and in this world con n - V ulsi g war, the wisest, the most far seeing, and safest

la use . of all our national leaders . (App ) 1 1 He wanted war for us in 9 4, and in due time it c came, came too late, as many of us thought, but ome And t it did . late hough we entered into the war, it us— in was permitted to the course of events , or shall I say under the hand of Providence— to turn the scale in - the great world contest . You have read within the week the statement of He rtlin Chancellor g , that in July of this year the Ger mans all expected the Allies to sue for peace and count ’ o n ed confidently it. I don t wonder at the statement,

for I was in Europe at that time .

Gentlemen, it is impossible, it would be impossible in the absence of experience to realize the discourage

ment, the gloom, the despondency, which had settled upon the Allied nations during the period of the last b e German drive, which gan on March 2 1 st and con

tinued successfully up to the middle of July . But a 1 8 ff change came on the th of July, and the e ect was

little less than miraculous . I was in London at the

time and the Lo ndon papers and Paris papers , and the w papers , as I after ards found , of the entire United Kingdom and of France described what took place in h their issues of the l g t of July . Remember that from

March 2 1 st, the Germans had pushed the Allies like

leaves before them . The German armies had crossed

the Marne, and there was absolutely nothing to stop

their advance to Paris . Amiens also was threatened l th Amiens and the Channel ports . But on the g of “ July the cables flashed the news that The Germans have been stopped by the Americans and the Americans have TH I R TY- F 0 U R TII AN N U AL D I N NE R 105

l s a u e . have taken a thousand prisoners . (App ) Why, a thousand prisoners then meant more than a hundred thousand at a later date, because the stopping of the German advance and the taking of a thousand pris oners showed that the new force which had come to the Front, behind which there were hundreds of thous ands and millions more, was capable of meeting, and in an equal combat, vanquishing the best trained A la e us . soldiers in Europe . ( pp ) That was the point aboutwhich even our Allies were in C doubt . For greatly as they admired the haracter of the Americans , fully as they recognized our gift of dash i and i n tiative, they did not really know whether armies ha stily Collected together from city and country and subjected to a short training of a few months could meet, not to say vanquish, but could meet and hold armies like the armies of the Germans . When this 1 8 h word flashed over the wires , that on the t of July the Americans had actually done it, a new hope, a vast Al hope, took possession of the heart of all England . though I have been in England many a time and have met Englishmen of all classes , it was never so good to be in England as it wa s last summer . Everywhere w you went, there ere expressions of appreciation and gratitude for what America had done, until finally one somehow got the self-gratifying hallucination that he personally had contributed to the winning of the ! ! victory Well , America turned the scales What would have happened without the coming of America w ’ into this war I kno not, but I don t like to think what

might have happened . We turned the scales , never u r the less . O Allies had fought three years before we wa r entered the , and they had fought for a cause w we w hich , though kne it not, was ours as well as

A la us e . theirs . ( pp ) And it was because they had thrown an infinitud e of metal and man power along w that Western Front, that they ere able to hold the w u nfa v contending forces in equilibrium , a some hat o ra b le equilibrium ; yet sufficient to hold them until we r ar ived , drove them back at Chateau Thierry and then nd beyond the Ourcq , and then beyond the Aisne, ti en 1 06 TH E H OLLA N D S OCI E TY then broke their lines between Verdun and the Arg o nne e r Forest and chased th m to the ve y gates of Sedan, where their armies would have been captured and the destroyed , thanks to masterly strategy of Foch , had they not anticipated their doom by begging for an armistice and accepting the Allied terms of peace .

No w we are engaged in settling the details of peace . No doubt our share in this war and our participation in this Peace Conference will put new obligations upon

America . We have entered into a partnership with European nations for the preservation of certain go od things in this world . I am constrained to point out t that while these new ob liga ions devolve upon us , the partnership is , and I hope will remain , a limited part ’ nership . We aren t ready to recognize that other na tions have equal rights with the United States in the ’ la e . aff airs of the new world . (App us ) We aren t ready to ’ l e . A a us n abandon the Monroe Doctrine ( pp . ) We are t willing to fight about the settlement of some dynas r tic, trade or bounda y question in Montenegro or

Lithuania . There are certain things for which we will

fight, and there are a multitude of things happening in the O ld world which we say properly concern the old ff world but are no a air of ours . What have we fought for inthis war ? I judge the future by the present and the past . I say to myself that what we have been fighting for in this war will appeal 1 fi h to us again as it appealed to us in 9 1 7. We are g t ing, gentlemen , for our national rights and interests ; we are fighting to vindicate the sanctity of treaties and international law ; we are fighting for oppressed a nd little nationalities ; we are fighting to make the world safe for democracy— inthe great phrase of the Presi dent . Those things we have fought for ; those things we and our children and children ’ s children will be ready n’ to fight fo r again . But beyond those limits , we have t now committed ourselves to any scheme of alliance with w O the nations of the orld , and in my pinion beyond those limits we should not commit ourselves in the

la us e . s future . (App ) The e are spiritual and moral - ends for which we are fighting . They pre suppose a certain

1 08 TH E HOLLA N D S OCI E TY ve lo m ent p , some new organs , some more specific cove nants to refer matters in dispute to consultation or conciliation or arbitration , but, essentially, it is already here . Would I then limit the Society of Nations to the United States and England and France and Italy ? Far ! from it I would say to every independent nation , when it is willing to accept the terms and conditions of admission , it should be gladly welcomed to that Society . u I would say to the Empire of Japan, our faithf l Ally

in this war, she, of course, must be admitted ; and I w - e ould say to our one time Ally, Russia , and our form r t enemy, Germany, when they establish go vernmen s e n representative of th ir peoples , capable of maintai ing n order and discharging their international obligatio s , and when they accept the conditions of membership in the League or the Society of Nations and give evi dence that their acceptance isn ’ t merely a verbal as

surance, but a fact endorsed by a new national mind

and spirit, then I would accept them on equal terms

with the others . That is my program for a Society of

Nations, which can only, of course, in the order of

b . events , e gradually evolved But the point I am especially concerned to emphasize o is that, s far as the Allied nations are concerned , we have the essentials of it now in their agreement o nthe great moral and spiritual ideas which the Society is in h tended to promote and preserve . Never again , I ope, will the world become such a pandemonium as Bel gium and northeastern France have be come in our

tIme .

I had the honor, in September, of being invited by

Marshal Foch to meet him . We had a very interest

ing conversation in which , among other things , I spoke of the marvelous anomaly of a nation which had made such astounding progress as Germany had made in d r tra e and indust y, science and invention , reverting in its moral conduct toward other nations to the morals

of savagery . Marshal Foch listened , and when I had “ ’ ’ finished, he said , That isn t the worst of it ; that isn t ! the worst of it With savages , it is the individual who exhibits TH I R TY- F O U R TH AN N U AL D I N N E R 109

exhibits the savagery, but with the Boche, it is

savagery organized on a national scale, having behind it as its dynamo all the forces of civilization and of ” science, including physics , chemistry and mechanics . ’ re (Appla us e . ) And he added what I shouldn t have w im ported before the armistice, but hat I . can without

propriety repeat now, It is impossible to negotiate peace with such barbarians ; there is nothing to do but to chase ’ l . A a us e them beyond the Rhine ( pp . ) In two months

he had done it, and destroyed their power to a degree

far more overwhelming than anybody, however san u g ine his hopes, would in September have ventured to

imagine .

What we need, then, is the substitute for organized

savagery of organiz ed reason and conscience . May we not look forward to a time “When the common sense of most shall keep a fret ful race in awe, “And the kindly earth shall flourish , wrapped in uni ”

. A la u e versal law ( pp s . ) Le t us have done with the law of the jungle ! Let us

pray for the reign of justice and the Go lden Rule . A la u ( pp se. ) The President then said : I now present to you the last speaker of the eve ning, whose first training was a s a clergyman in the s r mem Pre byterian Church , of which I am an unwo thy ber . You all remember as undergraduates , after listen ing to some eloquent discourse at Sunday morning

Chapel by our respective College Presidents , what a genuine relief it was to go in the evening to a real

Church and hear a real sermon . It is doubtless from some such reason that the clergyman follows the ’ University Presidents in tonight s order of exercises ; -n in but howsoever this may be, I take pleasure i now “ ” tro ducin g to you the Parson Militant , who for this occasion desires to be known as plain Mr .

. : e Mr Chairman and Gentlemen I ask you hon stly, ho w wo face to face, you uld feel at this hour if you had been called upon’ to make another speech ? The trucks

have gone by and the trailers after them , and I am even less than the license tag on the back trailer . With all the sadness and the sorrow of that French

zone that Dr . Schurman has referred to, there was one

thing that saved the Americans and the French , as far

as they could understand it, and that was the humor of

the Americans . All through March , April and May, wa s when it retreat, retreat and retreat, right up till 1 8 1 r the th and 9th of July, when the Ame icans made a breastwork of their own bodies and stopped the Ger e mans , during all that time the Americans had be n

having a great many laughs , and perhaps the most unconscious and most spontaneous humorists of the American Expeditionary Forces have been our colored troops . It is most ridiculous to see one of our South ern darkies trying to make love to a French darky .

A . You see, the French darkies are fricans And right here , one of our Americans made a very philosophical “ remark . They said to him, Jack , what do you think “ ’ ff ’ of these French niggers Well, boss , dey s di eren , ’ ’ ’ ’ dey s differen . Yuh see, we s Americans and dey s ” Africans . One of these colored men walked up to a French darky, an Algerian , not a man who laughs or enjoys laughing, and looked at him . They both had the same Th colored uniforms . e American would look at him and say and there would be no response ; ’ ” and he would say Ho wd y e do Bo ! One of these colored men walked all around him a couple of times and made overtures of friendliness and got no response . “ ’ ’ 0 uh s Finally he said , Yuh smells kind natural and y ”

La u hter. no . black, but yuh aint nigger ( g )

They had a ball team . Some of the other colored w men in this ball team ere British ; that is , British Colonials

TH I R TY- F O U R TH AN N U AL D I N NE R I I I

Colonials who were Mohammedans . It is a strange thing all through that French zone to see the graves of the Arabs . They do not have crosses, but just square boards, perhaps rounded at the top into a cres cent, with Arabic lettering . At this ball game one of the devout Mohammedans came to bat and looked up “ ! !” and said , Allah Allah The colored fellows list : ened , and the fellow did it again and came to bat “ Allah ! Allah !” Then our man came up and ” he hit the plate and said , You know me, Al . r (La ug hte . )

Reference was made to the prisoners . All through r those months there were no p isoners , you know, but w hen the first prisoners came through , you cannot w i the . w fe imag ne excitement First there ere only a , the and then more and more came . That was through months of June and July . One colored man had cap r tu ed a little, undernourished prisoner . This big coon - came along the road . He had taken o ff his knap sack and put it on this prisoner, and the prisoner was car r in : y g his gun , and he had all sorts of souvenirs broken helmets and every other kind of shell and decoration thrown about his prisoner . The coon walked along behind , smoking one of these free cigarettes , and as he “ approached some of the men he said , Look and see ” w o hat this co n done got .

Here is another one . This man was one of twenty who was sent out to bring back twenty prisoners . They wanted these prisoners to put in a pen for the

Intelligence Department . Each one of the coons was i to guard a pr soner, and nineteen came back with their ’ prisoners , but the twentieth one didn t have any, and f so the Intelligence O ficer called him in and said , “ What did you do with your prisoner— you started w ’ ?” “ ’ out ith him , didn t you Yes , boss , you see, it s ’ this way . We wuz walking along and he commence ’ ’ to tell me bout his mother a nd how sad She d be not ’ to see him no more, and then he told me bout his three ’ chil ren and his wife and his home, but boss , I jest had ’ ” to kill that man to keep him from breakin my heart . La u hter ( g . ) Another 1 1 2 TH E H O LLA N D S OCI E TY

o Another darky sto d by the road . He had been in o ne of the pioneer regiments which had been used for O ff ensive purposes , but as they were unsuccessful , they

were put to the task of making roads . They said , “ We are promoted now ; we are engineers . And they ’ weren t a bit downcast .

Here is another story . This fellow saw his first unit

u . of Scotchmen go by, and r minated a good deal He “ ’ ” “ said , I guess it s women . No, dey aint women and ’ dey aint men— I think dey s one of dese here Middle

La u t r. sex Regiments . ( g h e ) — Just one more . In the hospital one of our base — a hospi tals very kind woman , an elderly woman, who

spoke English , came to give conversation , and also to

g ive cough drops to the wounded men . She spoke to “ : this man , dear old lady My dear fellow, you are ” “ “ wounded . Yes , mam . Where were you wound ” “ cd — I ? mean , what part of your body In the leg, ” “ h !” . O mam , you poor fellow, wounded in the leg “ ” “ ?” “ Yes , mam . What wounded you Shell , ” “ h . O mam , poor, dear man, wounded in the leg with ?” “ a shell . Did it explode No, mam, the shell

La u ter. crawled up my leg and bit me . ( g h ) o Well, now we come, if you will all w me to say so, ’ to my pay. There isn t very much in it, you know, ’ g oing around making speeches when you re not home r for ve y long, perhaps catching cold and paying your ’ own expenses— I say there isn t very much in the t ? business, is here There is enough in it to be willing ’ to pay your expenses from Frisco, to give just one : idea to a group of men like this, which is as follows We sent a lot of men across the water who perhaps

did not want to go, but in our collective majesties , as “ ”

o . a state, we said G , and they went And after they ff — o ne had gone, we became a di erent country notices w it after war . The service flags in the windo s are only t an indica ion of how people tried to serve, and they say there wasn ’ t a single man in New York but who ’ w said , I don t care hat I do, I have simply got to get

into it, and I will never forgive myself if I am not in w this thing . They ent into it on that basis , just to g et

It will mean that all they gave is g oing to count for nothing, unless we stay diff erent . It is right up l . A use to us ( pp a . ) THE THIRTY- FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING

Therefore, no action was taken further than the approval of the recommendation in that report, as I remember it in response to a suggestion at our annual meeting— that the membership age q u a lifica tion might properly be lowered to eighteen years .

That recommendation was approved by the board , unanimously adopted and referred to this meeting for its consideration under the constitu tion with the a p proval of the board . Therefore, it is in order now to consider the proposed amendment to the constitution .

The Secretary has read it . It is in substance that the age for qualifying membership shall be reduced

to eighteen years . L R M : CO . O O A . V N Mr President, I favor the adop

Now that same committee has addressed a letter to the Society under very recent date, request ing the Society as a body in its annual meeting at this time to adopt the following resolutions “ WHEREAS a a n , the Secret ry of the Treasury has no unced a fifth a nd probably the last popular Govern m e It n he r Loan to be k own as t Victo y Liberty Loan , anJ H W EREAS, the proceeds of this loan are to be used in payment of bills incurred by our Government in military preparations that brought the war with Ger many to a close months sooner than was generally expected , thereby saving tens of thousands of lives of

RESIDE VAN SANTV O O RD : P NT Gentlemen , you have heard the report of the nominating committee, selected w - in accordance ith the provisions of the b y laws . Does anybody desire to say anything in respect of h ? t is report, or are you prepared to proceed to a ballot O rdinarily it has been the custom of the Society to instruct the secretary to cast one ballot for the election of all the nominees .

ICE : VO I so move . ICE : VO Second it . PRESIDENT VAN SANTV O O RD : The motion is that there being no O bjection the secretary shall be instruct ed to cast one ballot for the election of each of the nominees whose names have been reported by the chairman of the Committee on Nominations . Those in favor signify in the usual manner— contrary ? It is unanimously carried . The Secretary reports that he has cast one ballot for these nominees , and the chair declares that each and every one of them has been elected . It being now in order for the incoming President to f he be inducted into o fice, t chair appoints Col . Vrooman and Mr . Brower to conduct Judge Van Wyck to the platform .

(Judge Van Wyck is conducted to the platform . ) PRESIDENT VAN SANTV O O RD : For the first time in its history this Society in disregard of its traditions has had resort to the list of its ex-presidents in its x annual selection of an e ecutive officer . In these days when apparently all human institutions are inclined to violate their O ld traditions and disregard the ancient land marks , perhaps we may be pardoned in express ing a wish that every such departure might embody as much wisdom and be freighted with as high promise as we find in this disregard of our traditions in the e s lection of our honored former pres ident, Judge Van l a us e . Wyck . (App ) THI R TY-F O U R TH ANN U AL M E E TI NG 1 35

Judge Van Wyck, in View of our long personal intimacy, and with your knowledge and assurance of my unbroken personal regard , respect, esteem and ff i a ect on , you will be prepared to understand the great personal pleasure with which I surrender to you this badge of office which I have been genuinely proud to a we r . We know that you will honor it as we like to la u e believe that you consider it will honor you . (App s ) (PRESIDENT VAN SANTV O O RD surrenders badge of VA office to JUDG E N WYCK . ) PRESIDENT AUGUSTUS VAN WYCK : Gentlemen of The Holland Society— when I was informed that the committee had determined to select me as the president of this Society for a year, I was shocked .

A terrible blow was given to my nervous system , for I thought that you had gotten into the habit of electing my friend from Troy and that it would r be uninter upted for years to come, and I think it would have been a good habit . He has made one of the best presidents of this Society that we have ever had . He has conducted it with ability, culture in the character of his addresses , and guided this Society during a period , I might say of turbulence throughout he t world , in a manner that makes the members of this

Society deeply indebted to him, and I still believe the Society would have acted wisely in continuing his

services . He and I have been friends for years and

I say this in all sincerity .

Well, when I thought this evening of coming down here I was kind of stage-struck for the first time in my “ ” life . I came devilish near jumping the ranch . But I always have enjoyed serving the Society and on this occasion I hope that it will be esteemed a service at o r the end of the year . I was one of the iginal mem

bers of the Society in the first year of its existence . I

spoke at the first dinner, and I have been talking ever

Since at dinners and meetings of The Holland Society, t and I have enjoyed it . I have enjoyed the grow h of h t e Society . I believe it one of the grea test influences

r . for good in public matters , while being conse vative I 1 36 TH E H O LLAN D S O C I ETY

wa s HOO I was elected fourth president . The first p er C . Van Vorst . He was a judge of one of our highest courts in this state and wa s noted and distinguished w as an equity la yer, and I believe the Holland habit did more to fit him for that position than any other man that lived in the state . Then the next was — — we Robert B . Roosevelt Bob Roosevelt as called — r . him ugged , outspoken , typical Dutchman He look i ed like t and talked like it, and he was always alive to the best interests of the Society . Then came Judge Ho ese n wa s Van , who a lover of the traditions of Hol land and of her history . I think perhaps he was the best posted member that we ever had upon the phil osophy and upon the history of the Holland people .

They died , these men , in the order of their election , and when it came to me I refused to step O ff in that order, and hence this possible infliction upon you of myself for another year . n - Well, then followed , I think , some twe ty three m presidents , and a very large number of the passed h away . T ey were distinguished men ; they were men that had a grasp of public aff airs and a grasp of pri - ff . vate a airs They were fair minded men , and I can say to you that the tender and kind friendship mani fested m e by your selection of ys lf is deeply appreciated , and I will do the best I can to upbuild this Society and

. A la use fill out her mission ( pp . ) ’ No w there were two Ponce de Leon s known to ne wa s fame . O the Ponce de Leon that landed in Florida and wended his way northward into the Al leg he nie s where he died in search of the spring of ever lasting youth . And I have O ften followed him in that ’ L r w search ( a ug hte . ) I don t kno of any effort ever made by man that Iwo u ld with greater pleasure co ng ra t w nla te upon success . Then there a s another Ponce de

Leon who wa s a professor at a university in Spain . He wa s imprisoned for twenty-seven years by the s Jesuits . He was arrested while lecturing to a clas hi s in his college, and after his discharge he resumed professorship a nd desiring to forget the twenty-seven years that he had passed in prison he addressed his class

s co nfli t — intere ts c whose hopes , whose aspirations , whose history and whose traditions are different ? I say— Go d be with them in this altruistic idea that they may create a moral equivalent to war in the union S r of pi it that will save the world not forever, but save the world from other wars long after the period of l e a us . exhaustion has passed away . (App ) And in my judgment societies like this , men associated together with kindly feelings toward each other and kindly feelings to mankind generally, can do more to uphold and carry out and make permanent this altruistic idea than any of the other organizations of our land , and that is one of our duties , and I know that none will falter in this Society .

Well, our soldiers have made a splendid record on the other side of the ocean . When you read of and hear the generals, as I have, at least two of them that 2 th took part in the 7 Division, there can be no doubt s h but that their esprit de corps , their earnestnes , t eir sub bravery, their preparation turned the tide that a dued the German Empire, which today is in state of dissolution . In thinking over the past history in the records of divisions and reco rds of legions , I know of no legion that history speaks of that more closely represents the standing of the 27th Division and the 77th Division of New York troops than the l o th Legion that fol lowed Caesar through his battles over the same ground and same country that this war was carried on . (Ap l u e the — p a s . ) And we welcome back heroes white and — la us e . black to this land from across the ocean . (App )

Come back, heroes , from the flowery lands of Flanders and the woods and forests of France where so many of our splendid fellows have been left forever ! Co me back to this country, and , as you scatter throughout this co untry in the hamlets from one end to the ? other, do what Teach your neighbors, preach and guide them in the lesson of self-restraint and personal s acrifice, in preserving order and driving out of our land those that are determined to have their will by A use force . ( ppla . ) THI R TY- F O U R TH ANN U AL M E E TI NG 1 39

That is the great mission of the soldier— to come back here to this country and preach and teach the lesson of self-restraint taught to them by the discipline

of army regulations , and if they do, and if we sustain w w them heartily, it ill do more to ipe out anarchy and Bolshevism than any other effort that can be made in

this land . Well, they will do it . The country will honor

them for doing it, and they are to take the places in public affairs because the nation is indebted to them

and they can do it . But let us have no disorder in l . A a u e this land ( pp s . ) I say to those who try to produce results by disorder

that they can be restrained none too soon . I say

that the laws should be made so fair, so just in ref erence to the controversies and disputes between em ployer and employee that no unjust strike can be countenanced or continued for a moment in this coun tr A y, and that no just strike will be necessary . ( p l a use . p ) And that, today, is the great economic ques tion that is attracting our attention and deserves r se ious consideration on the part of all of our people . There are some queer things when you ta lk about wa r h for liberty and for democracy, and t at you have ’ got to love all countries alike . You know, I don t think that we are built for doing so much loving as e was b ing insisted upon during this war . I recollect when I was a young man my sweetheart used to sing a song that true love was not democratic but aristocratic, and from that day to this I have believed that a man ought to love his own country— the country that he is a citizen of (Appla us e) — the country that he receives o r protection from, and the benefits that come from a niz ed g government . Now let me say that in the history of the wo rld the first great battle and fight by a nation made for de m o cra c y was in little Greece . Little Greece made a noble fight and she started all of the ideals that we have in subsequent history, that nations in such a n contest have followed . The came that great Roman

Empire that believed in the soldier, that believed in force, that cared little for arg ument or persuasion or J morality TH E H O L LA N D S O C I ETY

morality, and that kept O n a constant conquering

first in the east and then in the west, and finally they went to pieces by virtue of the Soviets and Bo lshevikis of that period . And after the dark ages little Holland was the first to make this issue and make the fight against mighty Spain and her allies for demo cracy and for individual liberty of conscience and personal liberty

and civil liberty, and I say to you tonight that Holland has ever beentru e to that ideal up to the present time and during the war that has so lately disturbed the

world . We have nothing to be ashamed of from the time that Holland for eighty years waged wa r under William the Silent for democracy and Grotius wrote out the League O f Nations which is incorporated in his great work on the Covenants between Nations w hich is International Law . ld O Ben . Franklin told us in his day that the model in the example of Holland furnished the principal formula for the conduct of the Fathers of our Revo lu 1 6 tion in 77 . No w e Europe is going to cool down . P ople have an idea that they are going to be disorderly forever ; that those nations formed a habit of killing their fel lowmen during this great war and when they fell to w pieces as a war po er the taste of blood , the love of ’ oppression , still continued and they couldn t stop the ’ slaughter of their neighbors who didn t agree with

them . But that will all quiet down in time, and the

world will resume its steady and natural course . ’ After our Revolution of 76, History tells us , we had

many of the same disorders in this country . Any one that reads the history and traditions of Shay’ s Rebel lion in Massachusetts will see that it was much the

same kind of complaint, the same kind of manifesta tion of disorder that is being manifested today in Rus

sia and in Bava ria and in Hungary . It took us after that Revolution until 1 789— a bout nine or ten years

to form a stable government here . So things are hope

ful . A great future is in store for this country because

here physical conditions , here avenues to further de velo m n p e t are greater than in any country, and should we

dr v Carolina went y, I was in ited to make the alumni

address at the University of North Carolina , where I was graduated . I stopped in Raleigh , where my sister

lived , to Visit her . She was married to General Hoke, and while the General and myself were on the piazza “ o : I saw pe ple dressed in ribbons , and I said General, ” “ ” “ ? : what does all this mean Well, he said They “ tr to d r : are going to y make Raleigh y . I said Are ” “ “ ’ t ? hey going to do it Well , he said let s go in ’

h er. and take a drink and we will talk it over . (La ug t ) That was agreeable to me because I had been in the O f habit drinking with him for many years . I left him w in the dining room , where the sideboard was, here he

kept his brandy and whiskey, and went out on the

piazza . He had a little daughter about seven years she was under eight years of age and for something “ : better to say, I said Lily, what do you think of this dry and wet fight here — this ribbon fight they ?” “ “ are having Why, she said , Uncle Gus , it ought ” “ ’ ” : to be dry . I said What s the matter ? And she said : Who wants drunken niggers laying around ” the street pushing white folks o ff the sidewalk ! L r ( a ug hte . ) : Well, Hoke came out and I said Hoke, I have

been thinking over this question . Raleigh is going ” “ ” ’ d r . y Why, he said , nonsense, you don t know ” : anything about this community . And then he said “ ?” “ ” How about a bet I will make a bet, I said . “ ’ : ? O He said How about a couple of hundred N ,

I said , That is too much like gambling ; make it ” - five . twenty And he wrote it down in a book .

I made my address and then came on to New York , o and I saw that Raleigh had g ne dry . I got a note from the General saying : My dear Gus : Enclosed - find my check for twenty five dollars . I have but one favor to ask you — how did Yo u know Raleigh was ” h r w O f going d ry ? (La ug te . ) I rote at the bottom L er a u ht . it : Lily told me that . ( g ) ’ Now that explains it there . This isn t enough — though . The large interests here only a few of them — organized for the purpose the same purpose . They thought THI R TY- F O U R TH ANN U AL M E E TI NG 1 43 thought it would diminish the intensity of strikes — to stop the drinking by the strikers . Everybody was

against the amendment but there was no organization , and the organized forces just walked away with it while people slept upon their rights . That is the

history of that, in my judgment . No w Macaulay says that no people ever lose their liberty by one fell swoop ; that they lose it by gradual and stealthy invasions of first one right and then a n

other, and always apparently having a good reason for m indulging in that invasion, and finally they find the

selves minus real liberty . Now this is not a political question or I would not w ’ have said a ord to you . I don t intend to say a word w about politics hile I am your president, because I ’ don t believe it has any place in a Society like this . There are certain questions that politics should not

have much to do with . Do you know that the great traditions O f a country center around the wine cup ? Did you ever think of ? it Biographies are a true history of any country, because it is what the men in leadership do that makes

history . And you know it is warped sometimes by w very little things . The great fight bet een Andrew

wa s . Jackson and John C . Calhoun caused by Mrs w Calhoun refusing to call upon Mrs . Eaton, the ife of

one of his cabinet . There had been a divorce scandal

about it, and Lady Calhoun had a high notion about

those things and she refused to call . And that dis o r agreement, that insult or that friction between these two nu llifi women, in my judgment, caused the great cation movement of Calhoun and Andrew Jackson in 8 6 1 3 that almost tore asunder our country . So people w have to watch out for little things . You kno , a great

many peo ple are always looking for great causes . It

is the little causes that produce great effects . w Well, now coming back to the subject ith regard ui to the wine cup or the corn juice or the wheat j ce, during the war O f 1 86 1 there wa s a committee that m waited upon Mr . Lincoln headed by Charles Su ner o f s Ma sachusetts , insisting upon the removal of Grant because 1 44 TH E H O L LA N D S O C I ETY

o o because he drank t much . Now Lincoln had no wa s notion of removing Grant . He then before Vicks o u burg the lower Mississippi . So he asked Sumner, What kind of drink or whiskey is Grant taking ?” ” “ ’ wa s m Well, he said , I didn t think that of any i portance ; it was alcohol O f some kind that produced ” “ : w w intoxication . He said Well, I ould like to kno wa it any y , and you gentlemen come back and see me ” w . m a s after you find out You kno , Charles Su ner w one of the most austere, dignified men that ever o c cu ied p a seat in the United States Senate, and he was a great man too . They marched back in about ten days and told Lincoln what he drank . Then they “

: . said Mr Lincoln, why were we burdened with this m ?” “ ” “ com ission Well, he said , I thought I might as well find out at once, because I would tell some O f la us e the other generals to drink the same stuff . (App la u hter — a nd g . ) And a short while after that a month or so — Vicksburg fell ; Pemberton surrendered to Grant and the Mississippi was cleared . They tell a story about Sherman ; I heard him tell it himself . When he had driven the western army through Georgia and the swamps of South Carolina and through Bennettsville in North Carolina where the last fight took place, and he had gone up to Greens ’ — boro to accept Johnson s surrender John C . Breck enridg e wa s the then secretary of war O f the Confed c - n racy, who had been Vice president of the U ited States — they met as O ld West Pointers meet— full of ff good cheer, brotherly a ection , and warm esteem , which wa s assured and reassured in the use O f several bottles of Bourbon . Finally they ordered another s : o a n bottle and Sherman aid Lo k here, boys , not ” “ — other bottle . O ne more bottle and I earnestly

I wo u ld L u h er. believe surrender in stead of you .

no matter what cost in time , money and hard work, in 1 866 opened an office for the general practice of medicine in a small two -story brick building still e e standing at 44 Main Avenue, which had been er ct d 6th es . i n 2 pecially for him He was a young man , his

e . H year, fresh and Vigorous , ready and eag r for work e

his rs 1 1 866 . made fi t call on the sth day of April , From that day on his business increased and the de mands of his patients and others for medicine and sick room necessities soon convinced him of the real need e of an apothecary shop . To supply this ne d , he had f w O ffi a e shelves put up in his little ce, which contained es some of the most ordinary household medicines . Th e w ho ever, did not meet the demand , which included articles that one would not expect to find in a doctor’ s ffi New o ce, and to obtain which necessitated trips to

York City . At that time there wa s not an apo thecary

shop in the village . The nearest approach to it was n ffi . a the o ce of Dr Garret Terhune, in an extension nexed no w to his dwelling, which stood on what is - - 2 1 9 2 2 1 Main Avenue using the O ld numbers . In this extension was to be found a co llection of house s hold remedie only, most of which were displayed on

perhaps half a dozen shelves in one small window . m Dr . Van Riper at that ti e had a firm belief in the w Ac u a cka no nk w future gro th of q Village, and hile the old village in the vi cinity of his offi ce had witnessed no o ula change and , as to growth, had decreased in p p tion I N M E M O R I A M 247

tionsince his paternal grandfather, John A . Van Ripe r, O f a soldier the Revolution , did patrol duty on this O f 2 1 1 6 very spot on the night November , 77 , the doctor reasoned that not only because of natural a d s o f vantage site and location , but in view of the arti ficia l advantages created by the Dundee Ma nufa ctu r ing Company, which had just completed its dam , - O ld wa s water power, canals , and mill sites , the village ’ to be aroused from its ninety years Slumber and started on the road toward activities and growth , which meant expansion . It did not take him long to realize that expansion was out of the ques tion in the vicinity of ? his O ffice . And what was that Simply one old road : O f on one side it the river, on the other, the Reformed

Church , with its graveyard . With the exception of the present Speer Chateau pro perty and opposite wa s w h thereto, there no vacant land be lo t e railroad . n The road to Dundee was through Park Place, then know “ ” as Roa d to the Point . Adjoining the present

Peoples Bank on the north was the po st O ffice . The

Erie depot was at Park Place , north of which were less

a . u e es e th n a dozen houses J st her , it is d ir d to em i e pha s z the good judgment shown by Dr . Van Riper in the choice of a permanent bu siness location for an

apothecary shop, which he then determined to estab

lish . At that time all places of business , taverns , the

district school, public hall and church were located he ffi - in t Vicinity of his o ce, and ninety nine out of every one hundred men would have chosen a locatio n

there . In fact several newcomers located there and erected buildings in that neighborhood much to their TO b e subsequent regret . sure there had been rumors

of great things to be done by the Dundee Company, but as that company had already become bankru pt ff and its property sold by the sheri , it was pro blematical as to whether or no any good could re sult to the village

through the Dundee Company . In the meantime a e new road had be n laid to Dundee, over Lo ve Lane O f (now Passaic Street) , at the head which , on the line ne w of the Erie, was a large swing gate . But the

street was not in condition to be used , although there were 248 TH E H O LLA N D S O C I ETY

t . were promises hat it would be Yet nobody cared , wa s as there no present demand , and so far as could

be see n , there would be no future demand . In fact, the neighborhood O f Main Avenue and Passaic Street O f O ff was void business life, and ered no inducements so far as appearances indicated for the belief that there

w . O n ould be Passaic Avenue did not exist . its site ’ sto od a substantial dwelling whose only claim to one s attention wa s the fact that it had been occupied by

Dr . William W . Colfax, son of the commandant of ’ Washington s Life Guards in the Revolution , whose meagre practice compelled him to leave the village and

return to Pompton . O ther sites were offered to Dr . w d Van Riper, some of hich , at that time, seeme more Bu inviting . t from the very beginning he had his heart set upon the plot of ground where no w the busi

ness house stands , and , without any doubts or mis

g ivings , he made the purchase of what was considered

a site far out of the Village, and immediately began

the erection of a dwelling and store . In order that he e might begin upon a sure foundation , he planned th

store commensurate with the size of the village, and

the requirements of its people . Nothing was done for w r show or display . Those who ere p ivileged to see this first store will recall a modest one story frame - structure, about twelve feet wide, and twenty four

feet long, in which business was commenced so long

ago, and in which business was conducted for nearly

thirty years . Day by day, year in and year out , the

business went on, in spite of panics , hard times and 1 8 com petition . The great panic of 73, which caused ff so many failures, had no e ect on the stability of the a l business, whose foundation had been so firmly, O f though simply, laid . Within three years the com

n . m e ncem e t of business, competition became very keen u Dr . William Kent, whose father had conducted a dr g w store in Paterson for half a century, and hose name wa s a household word for miles around , came to Passaic

In the autumn of 1 881 he wa s nominated by the Republicans of the O ld Twenty-first District of the City of New York as their candidate for the State Assembly . The nomi nation came to him unexpectedly and unsought . Roo sevelt had already identified himself with the “ ” “ ” reform element in the city, but he was regular as far as party enrolment went . He was elected after a spirited campaign and took his seat at Albany in 1 82 8 . January, His entry into political life caused him to abandon the pursuit of the law and turned his activities into a career of public service to which he determined to devote his energies and talents .

Roosevelt was chosen President of the Board , and from the first stamped his personality on the Depart n m e t . His Commissionership was signalized by a t e- thorough organization of the force, by the strict enforcement of the Excise Law and the Police Civil w Service L a . Roosevelt resigned his position as a 1 8 Police Commissioner in M rch, 97, to return to O f Washington as Assistant Secretary the Navy . He w ff had al ays been interested in naval a airs , as his n r 1 81 2 aval histo y of the war of , written sho rtly after leaving college, proved . He, therefore, accepted the post in the Navy Department with eagerness . Under his direction the various burea us of the department were overhauled and red tape cut in every direction . He was responsible for the greatly increased target w ff practice, hich resulted in the wonderfully e ective work of the American gunners in the war with Spain and , in that war, it was he who urged successfully that Admiral Dewey be retained in command of the

Asiatic station, when it was proposed to supplant ffi him, and one of his last o cial acts was to write the dispatch which sent Dewey to Manila . He raised the regiment popularly known as “the Rough Riders which was mustered into the service as the First United

States Volunteer Cavalry. His influence secured the appointment of Colonel for Leonard Woo d and he - himself was commissioned Lieutenant Colonel . The w regiment was recruited at San Antonio, Texas, hence en it was transferred to Tampa to await orders . Wh ’ e Cervera s fleet locked itself in Santiago harbor, Roos velt became convi nced that th e first land fighting wa s t to take place at that point . He secured the at ach ’ ment of his regiment to Gen . Shafter s command , and when the latter was transferred to Cuban soil it wa s ’ Roosevelt s prompt action that secured for his menthe a en t er most coveted passage on army tr npo rts, wh o h less fortunate regiments were compelled to remain ’ o sevel s behind until all the fighting was over . R o t s c flc w t conviction proved right .

themselves well . Before another engagement, Wood was promo ted to be Brigadier-General and Roosevelt became commander of the regiment . The regiment 1 took part in the assault on Santiago (July , Roosevelt displaying great bravery and leading his men in person . Before the fighting was over, the death or wounding of the other commanding officers left him the ranking O fficer of the brigade . The regiment was under fire all the next day and night, but maintained the position on the hills which it had won . The regiment lay in the trenches before the city until its surrender, Roosevelt being in command of the second brigade of the cavalry division from the middle of July . 1 8 8 wa s n In September 9 , Roosevelt ominated for Governor of the State of New York at the Republican State Convention at Saratoga and was subsequently m elected . At the end of his two years ter , he was nominated at the Republican National Convention 0 - in 1 90 , at Philadelphia , for Vice President on the Mc inle same ticket with President K y , and was elected ’ in November of the same year . Roosevelt s term as - wa s Vice President destined to be of short duration . O 1 0 1 He took ffice on March 4, 9 , and presided over the

Senate at the succeeding session . His relations with President McKinley and his Cabinet were close and - cordial . Unlike many former Vice Presidents , he was i n full agreement with the Administration policy . September found him with his family camping i nthe wa s Adirondacks , and it there that he received the i news of the shooting of President McK nley . He ff hurried at once to Bu alo, but at the end of three days , being assured by the attending physicians that the

President would probably recover, he returned to the mountains . When the fatal complications set in , he wa s McKinle b e again sent for, but President y died e- fore he reached his bedside . The Vic President took the oath of office as President of the United ff 1 States at Bu alo on the afternoonof September 4,

Rio Madeira . His announcement caused much dis cu ssio n in scientific circles , and learned opinion was

divided as to the authenticity of his claims . It was in 1 1 May, 9 4, that Roosevelt made his last trip abroad .

He went to Spain to attend the marriage of his son ,

Kermit, and Miss Belle Wyatt Willard , daughter of

the United States Ambassador to Spain . He was royally received in that country and received a special

mark of distinction when he rode with King Alfonso . Later in 1 9 1 4 Roosevelt refused the Progressive n w omination for Governor of New York, and bet een that time and 1 9 1 6 he became reconciled once more C to the Republican organiza tion . He was a andidate

for the Presidential nomination in 1 9 1 6, but when Charles Evans Hughes was nominated he supported

him vigorously . During the trouble on the Mexican border in 1 9 1 5 Roosevelt was a critic of President ’ Wilson s Mexican policy, and from the beginning of the European War in 1 9 1 4 he had urged that this

country join the conflict on the side O f the Allies . 1 1 When , in April, 9 7, the United States did declare O ff war on Germany, Roosevelt ered himself and a division of troops to be recruited from vo lun ff teers for active service in France . This o er was

refused by the War Departm ent, and Roosevelt did

not engage actively in any war work, although his

r. four sons, Theodore, J , Kermit, Archibald , and

Quentin , and Dr . Richard Derby, the husband of

his daughter Ethel, all volunteered for active service

and were assigned to duty in France . In the Guber na to ria l campaign O f 1 9 1 8 Roosevelt followed a neutral course and backed the organization candidate for ro fes Governor . If Theodore Roosevelt had any p

sion in private life, it was that of literature . Almost

from the time he left college, and even during his

Presidential term, essays, histories , biographies , and books of a narrative or descriptive character efame rom I N' M E M O RI A M 2 59
