THE LEFEES IN THE THIRD

We have repeatedly called the at

Of things in the third ward, and the
absolute necessity of taking active
BIZ: sures 70 safeguard the people of
that section against impending over
flow next year. The board was
tardy in letting out the contracts TO
close the and in the
levee in that ward, and after the
contracts were given out. no work
was done on the levee, owing to the
contractors inability to get hands,
owing, it is said, to quarantine regu-
lations. IL the contracts had been
gwen out sooner, there would have
been no difficulty in securing hands;
but it is useless to quarrel owe that
point now. What We are concerned
il at present is to have the work
done IS speedily as possible, 50 as
to have the leyee in order to stand
the next high water, and W would
impress upon the board the necessity
Of urging the contractors to put in
the necessary force Of laborers tc
fill their contract in time. There
ought to be no difficulty in secureine
labor now, if proper wages are offer
/ ed. and no time should be lost. The
quarantine regulations have been SC
! modified that men can come in from
! n~on-lnfected points, and the contrac
tors have now no excuse for furthe
delay. It behooves the board t
retrieve itself by taking the matte
seriously in hand and pushing it +

the latter must yield. The theory OF
the rftle IS. that what one loses IN prl-

Ohios candidate for Commander-in-Chief is
Comrade /. +. Mack, Past Department COM
mander. special committee of McMeens
Post, 10, Sandusky, composed of Comrades JOS
d. Davis C. d. Dennis and Chas Bang says in
letter advocating his election:
THE Department of Ohio may fairly claim
that it is entitled to this honor for the ensuing
year. During the 81 years since the Grand
Army was organized. this Department. has not
been thus honored but twice, although its mem-
bership represents one-eghth of the entire
membership of our organization. 1t is now IL
years since our Department has been thus
honored. During this period the office has been
given to New England seven years, the last
time in 1894; to New York three years. the
last time in 1S91-'92 to Pennsylvania four
years, and to the District of Columbia one year,
making Is years of the 81 east of Ohio. Com
rade Mack has held various offices in his own
Post, has been constant in his attendance ut
Post meetings, and was Commander of our De.
partment in 1S92-'93. He is thoroughly IA
miiar with Grand Army work in all its
branches has wide acquaintance both East
aud West is always in demand for Campfres
and on Memorial Days, and is ever ready to re-
spond to calls for his services As public
speaker he stands high at Campfres and on tho
platform. The committee feel warranted in
asserting that if chosen Commander-in.C Chief he
will revive interest in our Order, increase
| enthusiasm, and bring back to the fold many
| comrades who have become lukewarm. Com.
| rade Mack is still in the prime of life and
| capable of unlimited work. He is also able to
devote his entire time to the duties OF the office.
e His army record is honorable. In April,
| 1861 he enlisted at Oberlin, where he was
| student, in Co. c, 9TH Ohio; reenlisted when
the call came for three years service, served as
| private in the Army of West Virginia. was
| captured, and for nearly year was prisoner
Of war at Richmond, in the Parish Prison at
New Orleans. and at Salisbury. Paroled at
| Salisbury. he was taken to the hospital on Gov
| errors Island. N. Y, and for more than four
| months was under treatment for scurvy con-
| tracted in prison. In 1863 he was exchanged,
! re enlisted in Wisconsin, but was rejected on
| account of physical disability. He was char
| ter member of one of the first Posts organized
! in Wisconsin, and has given freely of time and
money to aid his more needy comrades"

Chaplain in Chief Talks About Veterans
Duty Towards Dead Comrades.
In an address to Department Chaplains re-
gariing Memorial Day. Chaplain-in Chief Mark
B. Taylor says in part:
Il urge you to stir up such spirit in your
Department that before Memorial Day the re-
mains of each soldier and sailor now sleeping
in potter's fields may be removed, and. in lot
in one of your cemeteries, have at last decent
burial. Itcertanly is discredit if not disgrace
to a Department. that allows even patriot
soldier sailor to sleep in potters field with
criminals and others who have died in aims
houses. Can such things be? Yet. in several
Departments it is too sadly true. For what is
the GAR. organized? Fraternity, Charity
and Loyalty. indeed. But something is lack
ing when even single comrade is buried thus,
and our work will not be done until every such
one is buried as are others who were more for
tunate, but not more deserving.
Il also suggest that you call special attention
of Posts to the necessity of securing proper
heaGstones for the graves of all deceased SOL
diers and sailors not otherwise provided for.
This can be done through the Quartermaster-
General of the United States. l earnestly re-
quest you to be free to make such suggestions
may occur to you that will tend to make the
exercise of our day of all days more impressive
aud efficient, that may embody such sugges-
tions in my report as will be helpful to our be-
loved Order in years to come.
''You eau do much to promote a general in
terest in the day by writing and speaking in
emphatic condemnation of pablo sports races,
etc. and by urging the Posts to cordially in
vite the pupils of the schools and all the Orders
and societies in their respective localities to
participate with them in the solemn and pat
riotic services of the day. The influence of
Memorial Day exercises upon the young of to-
day is wholly beyond onr ability to estimate,
and no one should be permitted to forget that
we are as truly building for the future as in
the days when our comrades were dying We
were fighting for the future"
