of your friends that would be glad
to join you, and with the present
necessity of teaching loyalty to our
country, it is good time 70 begin.
Hold an open meeting, invite most
prominent men of your town to meet
with you, then state youc case, and
ask them to pledge their loyalty to
the United States government, and
then to join with you in teaching love
of Flag and countHsaa GAMING pen-
pie.
We are now doing these things, but
not enough. With new membership
that we should get, our efforts in the
schools and on memorial day could be
made doubly interesting, and reach
more people.
Our Great Auxiliary, The Womecs
Relief Corps, is established for all
time. All honor to them and their
wise judgment. They were wiser than
we, just four words did it. with
other Loyal Women" Those words
made it possible for them to reach
their present height of strength and
usefulness. In this new life we need
your help, and we know that it will
be given Loyalty as it has always
been given.
Let me advise you first of the def
mite objects to be accomplished by
associate membership as at present
outlined.
First. ITO promote among our fellow
citizens feeling of respect and con-
sideration for soldiers and sailors who
served in the Civil War, for the pres
ervafion OF the union"
Later | hope to see added to that
clause land to all soldiers and sailors
who have at any time served under
the United States Flag to the honor
\ and glory of our country
Second. ITO systemic the efforts
of citizens who desire to identif,
themselves with the objects of tht
Grand Army of the Republic, and K
aid in its beneficent work.
Third. To stimulate patriotism, ant
a grateful remembrance of the bles
sings secured to the nation by tbs
happy termination of the war of 1861
1866.
The conditions under which our or
ganization was formed made it i'm
possible to include any but veteran
of the Civil War, but they never ira
agined then. the conditions in on
country now.
/ And now to keep up our work AM
continue our power and influence, w
absolutely need the four words.
And other loyal citizens in
preamble for a new organization t
perpetuate and succeed the Gran

Comrades:
Our country is in worse shape to-
day than it was in s36l-1S65. In
those days we had coppe:heads and
peace at any price people spies and
traitors to the curse Of the Union in
our own borders. Now the ambassa-
dor of one of the greatest nations on
earth at peace with us, sits in Wash
ington, protected by the Flag of his
country, and protected by the Flag of
our country, and this is not all. Plots
are being made at all times to destroy
bridges, ships and factories.
Men. are they men; decline to pledge
ge themselves to our Flag, Because
They Have Never Been Disloyal,
another great body of men pledge
their loyalty TO the Flag, Providing
Certain Things are Done for Them,
Comrades did you tie a string to your
oath to support the government when
you took up arms to defend it'll did
not? Such loyalty as that is unjust
plain treason.
The Grand Army of The Republic,
has stood all these years for pure I'M
adulterated loyalty. They have
taught patriotism all these years. Now
our lines are growing thin: Soon our
last comrade will be marching to face
the last enemy; he will be marching
proudly erect bearing Old Glory on
high, Shouting his last Battle Cry of
Victory.
Then who will take up the work;
