Grand Army Growing Smaller.

Commander in Chief Henry M. Nevins
of the national G. A. r. has notified the
Iowa departments that the number of
members are gradually decreasing in
the organizations and steps must be
taken to increase the number without
delay. The Iowa G. A. r. shows much
smaller decrease than many other
states, but attention is being called all
over the country to the smaller number
of members that is being reported each
year.
The fact is also pointed out that the
last report of the commissioner of pen
sions, dated June, 20, 1908, shows that
there were 620,985 soldiers, sailors and
marines of the civil war upon the pen
sion list drawing pensions, and at the
same date there were 1909 original
claims pending, making total Of 62S,.
0S4 surviving soldiers, sailors and ma.
rines of the late civil war, both in the
Grand Army and outside of it.
The number in the Grand Army of the
Republic in good standing December
81, 1907, 225, 157 plus the 13,4S9 standing
suspended, equals 23S,646. These
figures show that there was on the 30tt
day of June, 1908, 390,438 soldiers, sail
ors and marines on the pension rolls
drawing pensions under laws which ex
list by the untiring energy of the pen
sion committees of the Grand Army O
the Republic as it's expense.

The poor, the neglectful and the vicious
we shall have with us for long time to
come, and the hearts Of the generous
will continue to respond, both through
individual and associate charity, and
through governmental action. There is
ground for rational optimism, however,
in the fact that, more and more thought
is added to kindness, and that, as
surely as experience and study bring
fresh truths to light, SO surely does the
intelligent sentiment Of the community,
sooner or later, compel their adoption.
May leave with you this helpful
thought from that great lover Of human
ity, Phillips Brooks; "He who helps a
child, helps humanity with distinctness,
which no other help, given to human
creatures in any other stage of their
human life can possibly give again"
