with view to exclusiveness which is q direct
stab at the fundamental principles of the Order.
In it he says: " Let the avenues leading to the
doors of our Post-rooms be kept wide enough
to admit any and all honorably discharged sol
that an examination of the descriptive books
kept, some of the comrades names being entered
twice, thus giving false totals. Order No 5
directs that the finances OF Posts should be pro
tected by recognized business principles, and
suggests that each Post open a bank account
and have the Post checks signed by the Quar-
tcrmaster and countersigned by the Comman-
der and Adjutant. All claims of s. and up
wards should be paid by check. In order No.
4 Department Commander Fielder states that
the practice prevails in many Posts of this De-
partment of selling badges to recruits when
mustered; the practice is pernicious one and
must be discontinued ut once The bylaws of
each Post should stipulate certain amount for
initiation and muster fee, which should include
the badge, the badge to be presented and not
sold to the recruit. In that case the badge is
always the property of the Post. The badge is
an evidence of membership in the &. A. R., and
is given to the comrade to keep as long as he
complies with the orders and bylaws of the
Post of which he is a member. When n COM
rade ceases to do that, or is dropped from the
rolls for any cause, the badge is then the prop
erty of the Post and hereafter it is made the
duty of Post Commander and'Quartermaster to
see that these badges are turned into the Post.
This course will put a stop to unworthy men
wearing the honored badge, and on that ground
soliciting aid from members of the Order.
