the chapter something of her experi

not in battle, the soldiers found plenty
to do In making their camp livable,
cutting new roads and the like, and she
repeated a verse of the soldier's song:
"Captain saya my rifle's rusty and I
guess that he is right; but if he looked
at pick and shovel he would find them
shining bright."
Mrs. Finney urges universal military
training, not for aggression but protec
tion of the country, for the discipline
serves to keep the young men in fit'
condition of health, as was, shown by
the companies coming back from Tex

SCENES OF INTENSE PA TRIOTIC FER VOR
ENACTED AT ANNUAL DINNER OF
PENNSYLVANIA STATE SOCIETY
[Photo by Roshon Studio]
ANNUAL DINNER OF
STATE SOCI
GREAT OCCASION
Patriotism ran riot at the annual |
dinner of the Pennsylvania State So-1
ciety last evening. The event took I
place in Chestnut Street Auditorium
and more than 600 men connected with;
the State service and a number of
well-known citizens from this and
other cities participated. Among those
present were Mrs. Brumbaugh and
many wives of State officials.
The great hall was decorated from
floor to rafter in red, white and blue.
Countless flags and pennants of the
national colors, combined with the
beautiful flag of Pennsylvania adorned
the walls and hung in festoons from
the ceiling. A lysautiful patriotic sot
ting filled the stage at the front. The I
auditorium never looked better nor |
has it housed very many more impres- ]
sive gatherings.
The feature of the evening was the
presentation to Governor Brumbaugh
of a large portrait of himself. The
painting, done in oil, was the gift of
the Governor's military staff.
As the guests were seated the or
chestra struck up the national air and
the curtain of the stage ran up to
show the tlgure of a beautiful girl
posed as the Goddess of Liberty, her
brow wreathed with a starry crown
and bearing a large silk American
flag. The striking picture was greeted
with thunders of applause.
Public Service Commissioner John
S. Rilling introduced State Librarian
; Thomas Lynch Montgomery as toast
master. Mr. Montgomery in a word
[explained the objects of the Pennsyl
vania State Society saying:
■ "The society is for the promotion of
i good fellowship among its members
I and the cherishing of a State spirit;
the promotion of efficiency and econ
omy in the administration of the af
j fairs of our Commonwealth. The dis
! semination of information relating to
and the manner of administering our
State government, together with a
knowledge of the history and of the
varied interests and affairs of our
State and the upholding of the dignity
of our Commonwealth and the en
couraging of a patriotic devotion to
our State."
Patriotic Addresses
| The addresses of the evening teem
ed with patriotism. The guest of
honor was former Governor Frank B.
Willis, of Ohio, a warm friend of Gov
ernor Brumbaugh. Mr. Willis, Ad
jutant General Thomas J. Stewart,
Emerson Collins, Deputy Attorney
General, and the Governor, himself,
delivered the principal addresses of
the evening.
The portrait of the Governor was
unveiled by General Stewart at the
conclusion of one of the most eloquent
addresses that well known after-din
ner speaker ever made. He paid a
hiKh tribute to the Governor on be
half of the staff of which he was the
chosen representative.
Speaking also for the other mem
j bers of the staff he made an eloquent
plea for the volunteer soldier, who he
J said, had in fcv-Rone wars wrested vie
j tory from every foe that has ever
faced the Stars and Stripes. Too much,
j he added, had been said in disparage
ment of the volunteer and that this
] kind of discussion should cease at a
time when the fate of the nation may
depend lamely upon the men who will
I lay down their dailv tasks and leave
their homes voluntarily to take up
arms in defense of their nation. He
predicted that the outcome of the
present war would see the volunteer
HARRISBURO TELEGRAPH
with the banners of victory in his
grasp and the laurels of a grateful
country on his brow.
General Stewart pointed also to the
National Guard which is to-day an
efficient body because it prepared
when it was the fashion to sneer at
preparedness.
When he reached that part of his
address which had to do with the Gov
ernor himself, the Executive sat with
bowed head as applause ran sharply
through the hall. "It is the desire of
your military family," said General
Stewart, addressing the Governor, "to
present to you this tribute of our re
gard, love and esteem —their admira
tion for your loyalty, for all that you
I have done and all that you have
promised you will do to up-hold the
traditions of Pennsylvania in this
crisis. May misfortune always be' a
stranger to you and may your path
be always one of prosperity."
The Governor, who sat with his
head bowed throughout the unveiling
exercises, during which the audience
stood, was frankly too overcome with
emotion to speak when he arose to ac
cept the portrait and it was with diffi
culty that he found voice to reply.
The Governor Speaks
The Governor spoke feelingly of the
part Pennsylvania must play -in the
great national problems now at issue
and of the responsibilities of himself
and all others of the State Govern
ment who have a part therein. "We
must continue to keep Pennsylvania
where the State always has stood and
where, please God, she always will
stand." He made an earnest plea for
popular support in the conduct of
Pennsylvania's part of the war, draw
ing attention to the fact that by rea
son of her location, her resources, her
wealth and her great population Penn
sylvania must take a leading place
among the States and be prepared to
contribute far more than smaller and
less fortunate Commonwealths.
Former Governor Willis in bis ad
dress made a strong appeal for na
tional support. "This is the time for
citizens of all walks of life to rally to
the colors," he said, and added that
he had no doubt where Pennsylvania
stood on this question. The history
of die United States is filled with the
mighty deeds and the wonderfully
patriotic services of Pennsylvania and
Pennsylvanians," he said. He pro
nounced Governor Brumbaugh the
"greatest Governor of the greatest
State in tlie union and said the peo
ple of Ohio and other Commonwealths
are watching to see how loyally the
people of this State line up behind
him.
>lr. Collin*' Masterful Address
Mr. Collins' speach was a masterful
presentation of the Ideals of the Am
erican people and the great part they
have played through the war of the
Revolution, the Civil War and now in
the world conflict on the side, of hu
manity and in behalf of freedom and
the rights of the individual. He point
ed a beautiful word picture of the
visit of LaFayette to our shores In the
days when French assistance spelled
victory for the American cause and
spoke feelingly of the return we are
about to make to France in her hour
of trial.
Mr. Collins also spoke confidently
of the part Pennsylvania will play in
the national crisis. "It is my hope,
during this war," he said, "to see the
Stars and Stripes floating in France
and at the head of the division that
shall place them there the figure of
that rugged, red-blooded American,
Theodore Roosevelt." Mr. Collins
was greeted with enthusiastic ap
plause and there were evidently many
who agreed with him in his hope to
see the Colonel given an opportunity
for service.
A social hour witli dancing followed
the speaking.
