EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Well knowing the
wonderful circulation OF your great paper, and
recognizing the prestige and power which would
attend any proposition presented through its col
umns, / respectfully desire to suggest the follow
ing idea to the large number of Sons of Veteran
who read The NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
In view of the paucity of real temporal benefits
which have accrued to the honor of our Order. and
the need of some great ideal work to be accom-
pished that may prove the Order to he OF lasting
worth, would suggest q Sons OF Veterans Sol
diers' Home. There are many ways by which
such An institution might be fostered. COnribu-
tons from the 1000 odd Camps Of $40 or more each.
would be sufficient for a very comfortable place,
and yearly per capita of 81 would certainly suffice
to feed and house more than a hundred old veter
ans st. Louis with her seven Camps would open
wide its hospitable arms to receive the Home. Let
the brothers speak up. What do you say? Three
