MINNESOTA
| The Department OF Minnesota held its annual
| Encampment at st. Paul on Feb % and concluded
| with "a grand Campfire in the evening. The princi-
/ pal events Of the day the speeches Of ex.
Senator Ingalls,, Gov. Nelson and Comman err in
Chief Weisser. The attendance was very large
The address of the Commander in- Chief was full
OF good advice. and bore especially upon the SUBJ
! ject of delinquent Posts.
| The lack Of Interest in the c. r. work ON the
part Of the public" he said, is due to the failure
OF Post officers In not attending their duties and
their Inability 10 make the meetings interesting
Many OF The Post officers, after their election and
alter they have become past officers fail TO do theii
duty by keeping away from the regular meetings
where they should give their comrades mid, advice
and encouragement. The mem bersbip fails In lis
duly by not enforcing the rules aud reg ulatous o
the Grand Army OF the Republic when Post officers
fail 10 attend required. They make "a greater
mistake when they elect for the honorable posi-.
iions in the Post comrades who are known TO them
az having been lukewarm In Post matters aud wlic
are not likely TO give proper thought and attention
TO their duties. The only way to create interest
and enthusiasm Is for every mens Der of the q Il
TO attend The Post meetings regularly and faith
fully. The fact that there q U07 army veterans
and 5@5 navy veterans and only 10000 veterans in
the q r.. shows that some one is ia fauth

on Officers, read the report of that committee In
