AN INQUIRY.
Why Does Not the GAR. Provide Vehicles to
Carry Her Disabled Comrades ON Decoration Dsyf

Why Dees Not the GAR. Provide Vehicles to
Carry Her Disabled Comrades ON Decoration Dsyf
To THE EDITOR: The question which forms
the caption to this brief article has very fre-
quentiy been asked, both by members OF the
GAR and others, but has never been satissac-
toriiy answered. Year after year large sums
of money are collected and expended for music,
flowers, speakers, and other objects proper
enough, while rarely, IL ever, ia there any ex-
penditure for vehicles to carry the old, the
MANNED, and the one-legged comrade.
Most notably wss this the case on Memorial
Day. Not vehicle, so far as / could learn, was
provided for any MANNED soldier on that day,
and the result was that many soldiers who had
testified their loyalty TO flag and country by
leaving leg on the field of battle, did not par
ticipate in the Memorial exercises They could
not march from the corner Of ID and Ninth
streets to the Aqueduet Bridge, much less could
they walk FROM the bridge to Arlington, with
cut OVERRIDING themselves, and hurting their
mutilated limbs.
This criticism is not written in the spirit Of
complaint, or as growl, but for the purpose of
correcting pernicious practice which has been
prevalent in the GAR. of the city of Washing
ton for years, and to suggest plain and simple
remedy. There Is enough money collected to
provide vehicles for all who are unable to walk,
and to cover all other legitimate expenditures,
so there Is no excuse on the score Of want OF
funds.
The remedy which will correct the Justly
complained of evil is very simple one indeed
Let each individual Post in the Department of
the Potomac go over its roster carefully before
Decoration Day, and make out a list of all the
lame, halt, and blind" members, and certify
this list to the proper committee on transporta-
ton, which will enable said committee to deter
mine and provide the requisite number Of vehi-
cles to carry all such comrades.
If this is done, no one-legged comrade will
fail TO properly honor his dead comrades ON
Decoration Day. AS il is now, many manned
soldiers, unable to walk to Arlington are also
unable TO afford the expense of hiring vehicle,
and although desiring to participate in the
Memorial exercises cannot.
In conclusion, / would note that the neglect
to provide vehicles for crippled comrades on
Memorial Day, so common at the Capital. is
unknown at these ceremonies in the States.
One year ago L took part in the Memorial
exercises a. Canton, o. / intended to provide
myself carriage, the distance to the cemetery
being somewhat long for veteran with zone
foot in the grave" but before had time to do
so carriage drove up to my hotel with an in
viIation from Comrade Keplinger, who occupied
ii, to take seat with him. / said expected to
provide my own carriage. He replied, "Oh, no,
sir we provide Carriages for such men as YOU /"
And from observation and inquiry found ii
was the custom there aud elsewhere in the
States to always transport comrades unable
from any cause to walk ON Memorial Day..
