Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Patriotic Marylander, Vol. 3: September, 1916 It has been our earnest effort to give to our readers a magazine worthy of our State and our Society, not only interesting and reliable but attractive as well, and we are particularly grateful to the kind friends who have given of their time and energy during an unusually trying summer to help us in this great work that we have undertaken of historic and patriotic purpose. We have this month an article from the pen of one of the earliest, most earnest and enthusiastic supporters of National Preparedness, the Hon. Charles J. Bona parte, one of our Patron Founders and a staunch friend of the Maryland D. A. R. It will be recalled that, while our organization permits of no religious or political dis eussions or affiliations, the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, went on record as a body at our last Congress, April 17, 1916, as endorsing Presi dent Wilson's views on the urgent need for National Preparedness. Considering carefully the welfare of our magazine, we submitted to our committee the oft-repeated wish that a new and more pleasing design be selected for our cover, and, with this end in view, wishing and hoping to please the greater number of our readers, we have used the simpler plate that was submitted to the first committee, retaining the Maryland colors and the Great Seal of the State. The new enamel paper has not only a more pleasing effect but it permits a much freer use of illustrations, thus making the magazine more valuable and attractive without increasing the expenditures.
