Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 16.
In opening his annual adj
dress to the national encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the
Republic, Corporal James Tan
ner, commander-in-chief, today
made the somewhat surprising
statement that despite the in
roads made by death the Grand
Army had actually increased in
membership in the past year.
He said:
"We have been able to more
than offset the losses incurred
through death and our order
stands today $500 stronger in
numbers than it did at Denver
last September"
He also said: Repeatedly
during the past year, on various
public occasions have defiant
", and perhaps arrogantly,
called attention to the fact
that while the public conscience
has been often outraged by
the exposure of moral turpitude
on the part of many of those
who stood among the so-called
most eminent men of the ma
)tion, eminent in financial and
religious circles trusted guard
ians of the inter asts of widows
and orphans, for whom loved
ones, now dead and gone, had
thought they had made careful
safeguard to cover the ncces-
sites for comfort through all
Their natural life; men who in
church circles stood on the
very steps of the affairs, trusted
cup bearers of the cause of
|Christ, yet who, when their
real characters were exhibited
in such poverty of soul and
honor as compared them to
Lazarus i'm his lowest state
might justly be considered a
]multi-millionaire in all the
list, search it from top to bot
tom, the name of not one vet
Gran of the civil war can be
| found"
DISSERTATION OF MEMORIAL DAY
The commander in chief
spoke in terms of admiration
for the generosity displayed by
Grand Army men in responding
to his call for funds for the re-
lief of San Francisco this
spring.
He voiced a vigorous protest
against the Dissertation of Nc
mortal day by baseball games,
circuses and other forms of
popular amusement. He ap-
: proved the growing inclination
to observe Flag day throughout
the country.
He spoke at length Of the eff
forts made by himself and COM
mittee in the direction of the
enactment of a service pension
law, providing for SIP a month
for every veteran of the civil
war and the increase of widows
pensions from SO to SIP a
month. The committee found,
although such a law would take
at present $34, 900, 900 addition
al out of the United States
treasury, in another year the
amount would be greatly de-
creased.
"The president assured us, "
said Tanner, ''it would be his
great pleasure to do whatever
he possibly could within reas-
enable limits to meet our de-
sires."
After reviewing the business
affairs of the organization he
closed with a touching tribute
to the memory Of his wife, who
was killed In an automobile at
Helena, Mont, six weeks ago.

The 'equinoctial storm" which many
people expect to occur today. Is a ira
dition that belongs in the same class
with finding water by means of hazel
twigs or planting seeds at a certain
phase of the moon. says District Fore.
caster Beals Of Portland.
"Of course" Mr.. Beals added. March
is a month Of transition. as Is also Sep
TENDER, the other equinoctial month.
and both are therefore likely to have
frequent disturbances The gradual
change of the seasons from cold to
warm and warm to cold are always at
tended by barometric disturbances
which produce storms, but the passing
Of the equinox has nothing to do with
the case.
1.-The equator Is an imaginary line
about the earth's middle, and the mere
fact that the perpendicular rays Of the
sun pass over It has no more influence
on the weather than the crossing OF
any other line. The superstition IL
easily supported by the fact that March
il naturally stormy month. and any
rain. snow. wind or any other pheno-
menon that occurs within week or
ten days on either side of the equinox
