Editor’s Note Book [excerpt]

     THE NATIONAL SOCIETY of the Daughters of the American Revolution at the first meeting of the year, October 2, 1901, passed resolutions paying beautiful tribute to the memory of our noble president, William McKinley.
     They also recommended that the Daughters of the American Revolution wear a badge of black with, or without the insignia. These resolutions were given to the members through the associated press, and throughout the length and breadth of the land the Daughters responded by wearing this symbol of their deep sorrow and heartfelt veneration.
