OUR GLORIOUS ORDER.

Letter from q Connecticut Brother who Be-
lieves in Keeping the Old Name.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: read with
delight in your patriotic columns the articles
written for the advancement of the Sons Of
Veterans, and the good they are doing in build
ing up our noble Order.
The talk about consolidating US with the
GAR. and calling US the Junior GAR. is
entirely wrong. In the first place, do not
think we are entitled to bear that noble name.
The honor was won through strife and great
privation. for one do not think any son of
veteran should want to take that name until
he has borne the same priyation as the veterans.
We have the grandest name that could ever
be bestowed upon us, "Sons of Veterans" true
sons. All honor which no one can ever take
away. This name is dear to u.s. and it means a
many of our great men would be hOnored II
they only could wear that little emblem. our
badge? 1t is certainly great privilege.
The GAR men are doing what they can,
and are trying to make everything interesting
for US. they would never have brought up
the idea of consolidation. All we want Is
the right to attend their meetings 1t has
been tried here, and is awakening great inter-
est in the two Orders. We entitled to at
tend after the general business of the Post is
transacted. When the work comes under the
Good of the Order the Post-r0om is thrown
open to Us.
l have wondered that other Posts have not
tried the scheme 1t brings the boys together,
and one can get better acquainted. / think it
is good thing. and the time is not far off
when we can enjoy the privilege of being
present through the whole meeting.
AS we sang at the Encampment, every eye
looking at Old Glory, these few lines came to
me. AS Connecticut boy, they came right
home to me.
"Qui transt,.lit sustinet !" motto Of light!
Meath the folds of that banner we strike for the
right
Come cticut's watchword DER hill and DER plain.
The Hand that transplanted. that Hand will sus-
tain.
And now in the darkness Of Treason's black night,
Meath the folds of that banner strike for the
right;
For the right! It's our country we're marching to
The dear flag of the Union in triumph shall wave.
Faith swells in each heart Hope fires every vein /;
Aud Thou who transplanted, oh! always sustain.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The com.
rades of Ohio appear to be heartily in favor OF
Comrade J. F. Mack for Chief,
and his name will be presented at the Buffalo
Encampment Comrade Mack was the organ
izer of one of the first Posts in the department.
of Wisconsin, 80 years ago. he has been active
in Grand Army work ever since; has held
about every office in his Post, and in 1928
was Commander Of the Department of Ohio.
He has been a delegate to every National En-
campment for dozen years, aud constant In
attendance at our Department Encampments.
He is thoroughly familiar with the details OF
Grand Army work, posted as to the needs OF
our organization, and has probably larger
personal acquaintance with comrades IN other
Departments than any other comrade in ONO.
AS factor in Campfire work and other gather
ings of veterans be is one of the most useful
comrades in our organization. and voice the
sentiment Of the comrades of Ohio when pre-
dict that he will fill the place to the entire
satisfaction of every Department His time
is his own. and he will give it freely to the
veterans if they mako him their Commander
1t is claimed, ] observe. that the office should
this year go East as the West has had it for
the past three years. To this claim permit me
TO reply as follows:
Ohio is not the West nor East 1t is the
middle, the heart of the Republic, the gateway
from the East to the West.
For the past 81 years. including the present.
the Commander in. Chefship has gone to New
England seven years, New York three years,
Pennsylvania four years and the District of
Columbia one year. making Is years of the 81
east of Ohio. and 16 years west of Pennsy-
vania.
The East thus represented by Is years con-
troll has less than two. ffths of the mem bersbip
and the West more than three-ffths. An even
divide Oh tho basis of membership would give
the Commander TO the Departments west of
Pennsylvania five terms more before the honor
goes again east of Ohio. The great Department
of Ohio has had the honor but twice: namely,
in 1879 and 1884. 1t is Ii years since this De-
partment has been honored, and We all think
Ohio is fairly entitled to it now. New York
was honored in 1892 ard has had it three years,
and Pennsylvania has had the honor four years
