or when Irregularities were allowed to enter
into our work; in fact, that irregularities had
reached an epidemic stage. All our troubles
are dir city traceable to irregular acts and ex-
ceptions to established law.
Having spent the greater share of four years
in sitting out Irregularities and conflictions in
law, no realize more than | what it
means to have the results reached only by
weeks of research and comparison, battered or
blown into smithereens by some thoughtless
person with a sentiment, and probably at the
last session, when only few voters remain,
with the usual result of having to undo it all
the next year, thus bringing confusion into our
ranks by lack of abiding knowledge to say
nothing of the expense of constant change.
' In spite of good Judgment there are points in
our laws that have been changed for three and
four successive years. and unless members pur-
chase Rules and Regulations evory year they
cannot be sure Of what laws exist at the mo-
ment.
Every administration, Department or Ma
tional, is anxious to have a crcditabe record,
and no doubt does according to its best judg-
ment. What we all need is TO be thoroughly
educated in business principles and business
economy, and hold fast thereunto. Let all

A Comrades Plan for Bringing Every Old
Soldier into the Order.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: There are
hundreds of defunct and dormant @. AR. Posts
and tens of thousands of members living under
cloud because. for various reasons traceable
directly or indirectly t. dollars and cents, their
STANDING" has been lost. Change of residence,
death of the Post, neglect in renewing utilization
or in the payment of dues, aud altered circum-
stances, contribute to the great army yearly
losing touch with their comrades. Various
plans for reinstating those dropped from the
rolls !" or suspended" have been tried with
but little success. "Orders" are periodically
promulgated by commanders for the purpose of
gathering into the fold again those who have
become inactive. But the evil has increased
until the g. r. outside the Posts is many
times larger than that mustered on the rolls.
1t is time to call halt on this disintegratiOn.
The Uvil can be prevented by radical change
of policy, one demanded by justice as we'll as
by the situation. Let the GA. L. at the coming
Encampment be simply consistent with itself.
The Order has been demanding of the Gov
eminent "service pension" While this is
asked of the Government as a matter of right,
why does not the GAR. adopt the principle in
its own administration? Let it be ordered
that every honorably discharged soldier and
sailor be enrolled in the GAR, exacting no
initiation fee nor compulsory dues of any
kind. Let the GAR. record be roll of
honor" the membership indefeasible, except
for crime. The funds for maintaining the Or
CARNATIONS should be raised by voluntary con-
tributions, just as the money for the support
of churches and carrying forward the great
missionary societies is collected. The volun-
tsry principle would be moro efficient than the
present tithing or taxing.
Should such policy be inaugurated thou
sands of valuable men now debarred by the mer-
cenary dollar would be made available for serv-
ice in the GAR. in every State. No fear
