some eases Department officials have failed TO pro-
vide themselves with the revised form c. which

on transfer cards to swell the grand total to
100000.
Although the growth of our Order has
been gratifying, and our aggregate member
ship is large, there are still fully one-half
the living honorably- discharged soldiers and
sailors not upon our rolls. This is not from
want Of sympathy with US, but largely from
the fact that in the Western Departments,
especially In Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota
and Dakota, which great communities have
been chiefly populated by the survivors Of
the Union army and navy, they are scattered
out upon their hOmesteads, remote from
towns, with little ready money, and intent
upon the grand work of providing homes
for themselves and their children. They
cherish out ON the prairies the hallowed
memories of the past, and in their hearts are
true GAR men, although their names are
not upon our rolls. As their years increase
they are foclIing to our standard, and it is
a reasonable prophecy that the time will
come in our history when the Department
Of Kansas viii equal in numbers the great
Departments of Pennsylvania, Ohio and
New York. Sure it is that her prairies
TEEN with q soldier population to justify
such hope. Within the Departments l have
named the future work of recruiting must
chiefly be done.
The largest percentage of gain made by
any Department In a single quarter during
the past year was made by the Department
of Kentucky for the quarter ending June 30.
It's gain for that quarter of comrades III good
standing was over 40 per cent.
Notwithstanding the unusual political ex-
element which prevails throughout the
country, and the well-known fact that our
ranks are full of active, earnest supporters
of the men and measures Of the several po-
litical parties, not a single violation Of Art.
XI. Chan. ), Of our Rules and Regulations,
has been brought to my attention. Our
Order is composed Of thoughtful, patriotic
men, each anxious to discharge the full
measure of his duty as a citizen, according
to his best judgment as to what his duty is.
Fidelity to convictions begets respect for
the like personal quality in others The
loyalty of comrades to the noble objects and
sacred mission of cur fraternity need not be
and is not affected or its usefulness impaired
by honest differences of opinion upon ques-
ti0ns of Governmental policy.
The use Of the design of our badge for a
cheap political campaign device has justly
occasioned much indignation among the
comrades in all sections. While unable, by
legal process, to prevent this attempt to de-
gtaue our non-paFtlsdA meual OF houOT, we
can, and should by resolution, protest most
earnestly and emphatically against it. No
comrade who respects his fraternal VOW, and
no citizen other than a comrade, who respects
himself, would wear this base imitation; but
it seems that the action of this Encampment
is necessary to quicken that sense OF pro-
priety Inherent in all true Americans which
appears for the time to have been comatose
in few Il-advised and ineonsiderate per-
sons.

It is a significant fact that in both years the

love and charity which it has ordained. The

wisdom for us while yet in our vigor to
establish such relationship between our
