It might be of interest, both to the friends and “enemies” of Clara Barton, by way of contrast to this pathetic picture of her closing years and of the more recent years, to know that three years before her passing she deeded her “Glen Echo Red Cross Home,” the gift to her by friends, to Dr. Julian B. Hubbell, who had served her cause for more than thirty years without compensation, but with the expressed wish that eventually it should revert to the American Red Cross. It can, therefore, be said of Clara Barton and the Red Cross as similarly it was said of that bond of “love eternal” between Theodosius and Constantia, “They were lovely in their lives, and in their death they were not divided.” At no time in her life did Clara Barton seek preferment;—she said, “I wish you could know how entirely indifferent I am to _personal_ honors conferred.” She did not seek the Red Cross Presidency; she accepted it, under protest, from President Garfield. Resigning the position several times, she still continued to hold it because no one else acceptable to the Society was found to take her place. She appealed to no jurist nor politician to protect her, for _she had always lived and moved in the full glare of the public gaze and could safely trust her character and good name to the care of the American people_. She entrusted her all—her Red Cross and her good name—to the Government she had “_loyally tried to serve_:” and so long as the Red Cross banner is held sacred as the emblem of America’s humanity God have mercy on her country and ours, if that trust of woman shall have been misplaced. The records, in the “reign of _terrorizing_,” show that the so-called “charges” before the Library Committee were made by _one_ person, unofficially, not by the Red Cross; by the _same_ person, of record in 1903, who made similar “charges” before the Red Cross Committee, the accuser by the Committee discredited; by the _same_ person who appeared before the Red Cross Proctor Committee, and there unceremoniously “turned down”; by the _same_ person referred to by Clara Barton’s successor to the Red Cross Presidency, as to the motive of the accuser in the affidavit herein presented; by the _same_ person whom Clara Barton refused to support as her successor; by the _same_ person who has taken the rostrum since Clara Barton’s death to traduce the country’s benefactor; by the _same_ “enemy” who has relentlessly persecuted Clara Barton and traduced her memory for nearly twenty years; by the _same_ person whom Clara Barton received in her Red Cross household, and in her personal household, as her friend; by the _same_ person who, on February 20, 1903, wrote to their mutual “_friend_,” Mrs. General John A. Logan (letter of record): “Miss Barton is in town.... I know you will use all your influence to have her accept the position of Honorary Presidency for Life, with an annuity.”
