To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Permit me to say word in reply to the
attacks that have been made on the eligibility
clause OF the Sons of Veterans. the Order which
was officially recognized aud indorsed at the
last National Encampnent uf the Grand Army
The history of the world wonid seem 70
clearly indicate that among those VINO have
served their country and time faithfully has
existed desire that the record Of their indi-
vidual services should not be altogether for
gotten or lost as years passed on, and as a ruie,
Ill civilized nations have not been ungraIeful
to the memory of those upon whom they had
20 depend IL the hour of dire necessity.
Ii is not strange therefore, that our fathers
Of the Revolutionary struggle. when their du-
ties were ever and they Were about to retire 10
their respective homes, formed the still exist
ing Society OF the GinclnBati of which Gen.
Washington was the first Com mander r-in- Chief
at the close of our late war the officers of
the Union armies formed themselves into an
association known as the Military Order of
the Loyal Legion the present high standing
and strength OF which is well known and ad-
mltted by all IN any degree familiar with it.
in the formation aud establishment of the
Sous OF Veterans 1t was not deemed at ali ex-
pedienS OF best TO seek out aud sdort any new

on the contrary, lt was felt that the more prII-
dent and better course TO take WAS tn. in sub.
aud ia all practical respects CHING closely
TO ideas which mad by the test of time and the
sterling gauge of success proved themselves
worthy of confidence and respect. The rules
governing the line of succession in the Sons OF
Veterans are practically thnse OF the TWO civil.
military societies named.
Tins organization admits only the SONS oi
eI-soidiers, sailors and marines. Any number
of SONS Of veteran of the war may be- admit
