A VETERAN AROUSED.
He Does Rot Enjoy a SIur, Because He

HE Does Not Enjoy a Slur, He
Happens to be a Poor Man.
To the Press and Dakotaian.
It has been stated that the members
of the Yankton Grand Army post were
generally conspicuous by their absence
from Tuesday nights lecture and the
animation has gone abroad that they
should have been there III force.
In explanation. of this permit me to
say that l do not know by whose aus
pieces the entertainment was given, but
the first mistake was in fixing the price
of admission at fifty cents, especially
when VI take into consideration the fact
that three-fourths of the members Of
Phil. Kearney post are poor men. They
were not conspicuous by their absence
from the field of battle twenty-five years
ago, but gave that portion of their lives
to peril and ~privation which young men
usually employ in educating themselves
in trades and professions. 1t is no
wonder then that a majority Of our old
veterans are broken down in
health and poor in purse. Again Phil
Kearney post pays a hall rent Of $1,000
per month, and expends a large sum an
aually in assisting needy comrades and
their families. Consequently if its mem
bers pay up their quarterly dues and as
sessments they many of them do. all
that can be expected Of them. But the
fact is, many members of the post have
been dropped for .non-payment of dues,
80 that it is not sso strong numerically
as is generally supposed. Other rea-
sons may be given for the sparse attend
ance of veterans at the lecture on Tues.
day night, among which are the severity
of the cold, the fact that many members
of the post were in the country, and
amongst those who are reasonably well
off pecunlarly quite a number were alb
sent from the city. :
In conclusion I will only add that il
is easy now, and quite fashionable II
some localities, to sneer at the failures
of old soldiers to patronizs entertain
ments Of this character, but as it Ii
cheap it probably cannot
be helped. If the old sol
diers did fail to help themselves
at this entertainment, the number o
outsiders present shows that the apath,
or lack of interest affected soldier ant
citizen alike. The fact is, Yankton i
burdened with entertainments, some
times costly, and our people, whethe
citizens or veterans, cannot afford t
patronize them literally, especial.
