NO. 189 WOOSTER, OHIO, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY, 21, 1913 PRICE TWO CEHTO WOOsTER DAILY TEWTIHG TONIGHT ON THE OLD CAMP GROUND" THE ANNUAL "SCOOP" Is Musical Number Which Sets the Gal lant Old Soldiers' Blood to Tingling Most Excellent Time Enjoyed by Chivalrous Old Veterans at G' A. R. Hall Last Evening Eulogies of the highest order were pronounced on the Immortal George Washington, Thursday night, in U. A. R. hall, when the birthday of America's first president was cele brated in true patriotic style. Members of G. A. It. Pos:, who al ways keep in touch with patriotic events, and who also see to it that Wooster does not forget to pay trlb ute to national characters, invited the Women's Relief Corps aoJ Kief-fer Circle ,to Join them in the celebra tion. . Approximately 75 people were present to liBten to the fine program, which really should have been heard by more, owing to the extra good ad dresses made by the comrades. Instrumental music was supplied by Earl Hoffman on a Victor talking machine. President of the evening, Mahlon Rouch, gave a splendid introductory speech. Extracts of his address follow:" "When we first heard that inspiring song, 'Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,' we were young, strong and active and full of patriotic enthusiasm, but, now, we are removed from the scenes that inspired its words. "The zeal with which we then bub bled has somewhat abated. The vig or of body, the quick and catching Inspiration of mind have become more sluggish. ... ' "But when we hear the beautiful strains from the song, calling us back again to the old camp ground, Where we enjoyed the pork, beans and coffee, and bard tack, and th song and jest and mutual conversa tions of home and friends, I say when we are called back to these the tormer spirit of the youthful soldier in us is revived, and, in thought, if not really In action, we live them all over again." Mr. Rouch continued in this same enthusiastic manner, recounting the days during the war, giving a panoramic view up to tho present. Comrade Salomon Rickabaugh, a highly honored memoer of G. A. R. . post, who is always laboring to make others happy, was given the subject of "Washington, the Soldier." Mr. Rickabaugh knows history from beginning to end ana ills address was exceptionally good. A portion of it follows: "K'o greater or better man has been placed at the head ot the American government than Washington. "The Incident in his early life concerning the hatchet and tho cherry tree shows that he was early distinguished for his truthfulness and manly spirit. "Washington was, unconscious of his power. His duties were difficult and perplexing. He Was to bring or der out of disorder; he was to pat a new government in operation, iinl so well did he peiform his great task and so well did he meet tho expec tations of the people, that at the end of four years he was forced to take the second term and later the third, but ho refused the latter. Comrade W. E. Feeman was given the subject of "Washington, the Civilian." That Rev. Feeman Is familiar with the history of this notul magistrate, is readily shown by the trend of his thoughts found in the tjiuivjU(i remarks: "The lofty nature of Washington has been a criterion lor ihotibamis of Americans, l'octs have penned choicest sonnets of his spotless char acter and his praises have been sung at home and abroad. "His moral life was irreproachable. He stood for the purest things and. lived daily the life of chastity. lc was Kind, thoughtful, loving, liis character was rare in its richness Ul.u Ho mail, nu lualecr ot vl;;u po- and no man, no matter of what po- deserved national recognition more than just the humble Washington." To Capt. Taylor had been assigned Washington's Farewell Address." Before taking up his subject Capt. Taylor referred to the fact that because of his illness he had not bjoa lo a meeting of the post for over two mouths and that he desired to thank his comrades for their kindness and sympathy and said that he hau learned what real comradeship is and what it stands for. In discussing the subject of the farewell address the speaker said that the original draft of the address had been prepared in the. fall of 1792 as Washington's first term was drawing to a close and at a time when he desired to retire to private life, but the people would not con sent. In the summer of 1796, fully re solved that the second term should end his service, he submitted to Ham ilton that original draft and asked him to re-dress it, and that, when revised, became the farewell address of this, great jiian, soldier, statesman and president. The salient points of the address urged by Washington were: The necessity of unity of govern ment. A warning against the banuful spirit of party. Religion and morality as indlspcn- slble supports. Public credit as a source of strength. The necessity z" good faith and justice toward all nations without discrimination. His warning against entangling alliances. Capt. Taylor discussed these as ap plicable to us now as they werj at the close of the second term of our first president. The close of this enjoyable rro-gram was immediately followed by refreshments, the Daughters of Veterans serving In their usual capable j way. After a general round of handshaking and cheerful words, adieux were said and the patriotic group disbanded to meditate over the occasion.
