The Place of the G.. A. II. in Parades
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

10 the Edltor OF The Evening Star:
My advice to my conn AIDES of the Grand
Army of the Republic is to decline to par
tfcipate in the coming inaugural parade if
not allowed the post of honor. In the in
augural parade of 1897 the Grand Army
was located at the tail end of the process
sion Immediately in front of the adyertis-
ing wagons and the motley, bowling crowd
that there do congregate. And this re-
proach (on whom l will not state) was re-
peated at the late centennial parade Let
US see to it that it never happens again.
Our absence may be eloquent. No words
no excuses can satisfy the patriotic heart
that the tail end of procession is a post
of honor.
l grant that We do not make an impos-
ing appearance on parade Our manly
comeliness is gone. We fail to keep step
to the distantly located music Our line
waivers and says. The touch Of elbows
is lost art with us, save in memory of
the sacred days when our reliance upon
each other nerved us to endure until vic
tory. Grant that we have not kept pace
with the prosperity Of the country, made
possible by our soldierly faithfulness. but
we We're heroes once, and that once made
the inauguration of a President Of the
United States permanent possibility.
The President of the United States is
the chief civil ruler of the country. Only
incidentally, merely officio, is he CON
nected with the army navy. Therefore
an inauguration parade is mainly a civil
affair. The Union soldiers, strictly speak
Ing, are not soldiers, certainly not profess
sional soldiers. They were the armed po-
lice of the country, set apart to keep the
peace of the Union.
Our military on parade lights up we'll
Though professional soldiers, they are
Americans, and when needed to "do and
dare, as once we were called upon
they will fully emulate our example yet 1t
n N Of hny
men, has ever seen armed foe. Behind
them far off In the rear march, or try to
march, men who for four years made of
their bodies a living, impregnable wall
around the capital of the nation. And in
cidental to that work they went through
the fiery hell of second Bull run and of
Antietam, the bloodiest battle Of modern
times, and at quick step, disciplined but
not dismayed by their awful experience
leaped into the seethng craters of Freder-
icksburg, Charlottesville and Gettysburg
We were not always successful, not our
fault, but we saved Washington. Normally
we do not belong to the rear
Would 1t be deemed conducive to the
London the victorious soldiers from South
Africa? Would any popuace Of any city
in Dixie allow confederate veterans to be
thus ANONYMOUSLY located in a general
parade? Are our living veterans represent
ing many thousands 'died In BATTLE"
less worthy Of the respectful gratitude of
the citizens Of Washington? With modest
pride, deemed worthy to wear the medal
of honor think it fitting for me to thus
voice the feelings Of my comrades

NEW STATION AND STABLE.
Provision In Estimates for C0nstruc-
ton In Fifth Precinct.

tlOn IN Fltth FfCCN0Cts
Included in the estimates Of Major syl-
vester for the coming fiscal year L. an item
OF $4,000 for the erection of a station
house and stable on the present site Of the
one In the fifth precinct in Southeast Wash
ington. Another item of 1,s0O is for rent
of police headquarters and property rooms.
This city, it is stated. is probably the only
city Of its size In the United States in
which building is rented for use Of the
police department as headquarters. and
probably no other large city has such
building for a police station as has the
present fifth precinct. Members Of police
departments from other cities always ex-
press surprise when they come here and
find the headquarters Of the local force in
rented rooms, which, they perceive, are not
adapted to the purpose
There Is not enough room in the present
apartments of the chief and members of
his staff. AS the rooms are arranged, it is
claimed, 1t is almost impossible to hold
private conferences with detectives. Were
1t not for the belief that the headquarters
of the police department will some day be
IN the municipal building, to be erected In
the future, Congress would probably be
asked to appropriate money for the erection
OF suitable building for headquarters.
The present fifth precinct building as
ABOUT the Oldest structure now occupied
by the police department 1t is entirely too
small and is poorly ventilated From time
to time the building has been repaired, but
1t Is far from being fitted for its present
uses. In addition to other objections the
building Is high above the grade, and
great amount of trouble is often expert
enced In getting up the steps from the side
walk to the building. Major Sylvester will
make special effort to have Congress ap-
propriate the $4,000 for the new building
and he may also make an effort to get an
appropriation for the required new head
quarters.
Baltimore has recently added to its police
buildings a new central station which il is
stated, is one Of the best and most COM
plete structures Of it's kind in the United
states. Major Sylvester has inspected it
and hopes that Washington will have
similar building in the near future.
