This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the

II. The Commander-in-Chief has directed that the Annual Reports
of the Assistant Adjutant General, and the Assistant Quartermaster
General, shall be in the bands of the Adjutant General not later than
July 15th. The fact that the Thirty-eighth National Encampment will
convene on August 17th, compels prompt attention to this order. It is
expected that Post Commanders will see that at the close of the last
meeting in June, the respective Reports for the 1st term of 1904, are at
once made out, signed and forwarded to the Assistant Adjutant Gen-
eral; by this attention, they can be consolidated, and forwarded to
National Headquarters on time, and the reputation of this Department
for promptness be maintained.
III. Drafts, Checks and money orders should be made payable to
JOHN L. GRIM, ASSISTANT QUARTERMASTER GENERAL, and
enclosed with the Reports sent to the Assistant Adjutant General.
Reports of Post Chaplains should also be promptly forwarded to Rev.
John W. Sayers, D. D., Department Chaplain, 330 Kerline St., Chester,
Penna.
IV. It is the purpose of the Department Commander to attend the
reunions of Grand Army Associations, and other gatherings, if invita-
tions to the same are extended in time to make the necessary arrange-
ments. While he may not be able to accept all invitations, it will give
him pleasure to attend whenever it is possible for him to so arrange.
V. Post Commanders will at once recommend for appointment, as
Aide, a Comrade noted for his work for the welfare of his Post, and who
will by his zeal assist in keeping this Department, in the front rank of
the Grand Army of the Republic.

Tne Grand Army oi the Republic, has been and is siaII the most con-
spicuous fraternal and patriotic organization in the Nation. No history
of the Republic written in future years will be complete or truthful
that does not recognize its work and worth.
^rely the founder of such an organization, the soldier whose pro-
phetic vision saw the great good to be accomplished by uniting in our
brotherhood, under our banner, the survivors of the Union Army and
Navy, is entitled to a lasting and fitting memorial in the Capitol city
of the Nation.
The Grand Army is committed to this work. Let it be done in a man-
ner befitting the history, the achievements and the dignity of our order.
Pennsylvania foremost in all good works must not be a laggard in this.
The Department Commander therefore commends the project to the
careful and liberal consideration of every Post, and of such individual
Comrades as may be able to spare from their abundance something for
so good and worthy a cause.
IX. Reports and per capita tax from quite a number of Posts are
overdue, for the term ending June 30th, it is of the greatest importance
that these reports be forwarded at once. Post Commanders and Ad-
jutants who have not already done so, will attend to this requirement
immediately.
X. In Compliance with the action of the Thirty-eighth Annual De-
partment Encampment, Past Department Commander, W. J. Patterson,
Past Department Commander, Thos. G. Sample, Past Department Com-
mander, Levi G. McCauley, Comrades William F. Bimmer, James E.
McFarlan, J. Henry Holcomb and Joseph E. Clark, are hereby appointed
a Committee to procure and present to Past Department Commander
Edwin Walton, a suitable testimonial, in recognition of the service ren-
dered by him to the Department.

VII. Pennsylvania has long been noted for its discipline, and adher-
ence to the prescribed uniform of the Department, and it is expected that
all Comrades parading will appear in **dark pants, dark blue four button,
blouse, white vest, fatigue cap, black necktie and white gloves," and
again will this Department be accorded the credit of being the Banner
Department in soldierly appearance.
VIII. Officers and Representatives to the Encampment will convene
in session at Department Headquarters, on Tuesday Evening August
16th, at 8 P. M., for the transaction of business.
IX. Our Comrades of the City of Boston have arranged a program
for Entertainment of an elaborate character, all of which is set forth "in
Gen. Orders No. 12, from National Headquarters, and there is no doubt
but that the gathering will be one that will long be remembered by all
who shall have the pleasure of participating.
X. Comrades who may be located near National and Department
Headquarters, should get off their train at "Back Bay Station." It is
but a few minutes walk to the Vendome, Lrennox, and other Hotels in

General Orders,
Ni>. 5.
I. The Department Commander takes this opportunity to express
his gratification, and to congratulate the Comrades upon the large at-
tendance, and splendid bearing of the Department, at the Thirty-eighth
National Encampment, held at Boston, Mass.
In the grand Parade they were favorably commented upon for their
Soldierly appearance, discipline maintained, and fine marching.
II. It is a matter of regret that the supply of tickets for the Grand
stand, from which to view the parade, and other Entertainments, were
so limited in number, that Representatives and Comrades could not be
supplied with all that they desired, but it is pleasant to note the fact that
the local Boston Committee were not responsible for this condition of
affairs.

VII. With deepest regret the Department Commander announcee
the death of Past Senior Vice Department Commander,
WILLIAM P. ATKINSON,
at Erie, on August 9th, last.
Comrade Atkinson enlisted as a private March 10th, 1862, at the age
of 19 years, serving nearly three years in Company G, 48th Regiment,
Pennsylvania Volunteers. He was actively engaged in the following
battles, viz: Bull Run, August 30th; Chantilly, September 1st; South
Mountain, September 14th; Antietam, September 17-19th; Fredericks-
burg, December ll-16th. He was personally complimented by the com-
manding officer of the regiment for gallantry during the Fredericks-
burg engagement.
Served as Post Commander of Robert Wainwright Scott Post, No. 464,
several terms, and upon the first election after the consolidation of Post
No. 67 and Post No. 464, was elected Commander of Post No. 67, and
was recently unanimously re-elected for the year 1903.
Faithfully he served the Department as Senior Vice Department Com-
mander, from June, 1903, to June, 1904, he was a familiar figure at many
of our Encampments, and Comrades will recall his presence with us in
June last at Gettysburg. By his death we have lost a Comrade who was
always true to our organization. His memory will l^e an incentive
to others throughout the Department to emulate his conspicuous Com-
radeship.
By command of JOHN McNBVIN,
Department Commander.

20 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
Headquarters Department of Pennsylvania,
Grand Army of the Republic,
S. W. Cor. Fifth and Chestnut Streets,

General Orders,
No. 6.
I. The Annual Inspection of the Posts of this Department will take
place between October 15th and December 22d, under the direction and
supervision of Department Inspector Alexander F. Nicholas.
Upon receipt of this Order the Assistant Inspector-at-Large will at
once arrange the details for the inspection so that the work may be prop-
erly performed. Assistant Inspectors will forward their reports immedi-
ately after each inspection to the Assistant Inspector-at-Large in charge
of the District who will examine the same, and if approved, so endorse
and forward them to the Department Inspector, Alexander F. Nicholas,
S. W. Cor. 5th and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia.
The inspection will consist of a thorough examination of Minute or
Record Books, Descriptive Book, Order Book and Quartermaster's Led-
ger and the files of General Orders from National and Department Head-
quarters. Reports must not be made in lead pencil.
The Assistant Quartermaster General has submitted to the Depart-
ment Inspector a list of Posts from which Adjutants and Quartermaster's
semi-annual reports and per capita tax for term ending June 30th last
have not been forwarded to Department Headquarters as required. No
favorable reports of inspection of such Posts can be made until this
delinquency has been removed. A blue pencil mark at this paragraph
means that the Post receiving this Order so marked is delinquent.
Form of Inspection adopted at the Twenty-sixth National Encamp-
ment, for the proper reception of Assistant Inspectors, etc., is trans-
mitted herewith.
The Assistant Inspector-at-Large in charge of the District will give
tim e] ^^ n otice to each Post Commander of the date selected for inspection
witl^^e name and Post of the oflicer detailed.
All necessary blanks, etc., will be furnished by the Department In-
spector to Assistant Inspector-at-Large for Distribution to Assistant In-
spectors.
Commanders of Posts should use every effort to have a full attendance
of the Comrades. The great benefit intended to be secured by an inspec-
tion of a Post, can only be had by making it an event of importance.
Adjutants are to be especially instructed in reporting deaths, to fill
the blank provided in the Semi-Annual Reports, giving company, regi-
ment, vessel or other command, with rank and date of death of a com-
rade.

Commandos the fact, that it is their duty to give personal attention
to the prompt forwarding of all reports and per capita tax for the
term ending December 31st. All money orders, checks and drafts, for
per capita tax should be made payable to John L. Grim, Assistant
Quartermaster General, and forwarded to Chas. A. Suydam, Assistant
Adjutant General.
IV. In accordance with.' the Act of Assembly, a set of "Pennsylvania
at Gettysburg" (two volumes) has been forwarded to the address of
each Post Commander. They are not the property of the Commanders,
but are intended for the use of the Comrades, and should be placed in
the Post Library, or in some place convenient of access.
V. Attention is called to Chapter II, Article II, Section II, which
provides for the organization of "Outposts," where Posts have grown
weak in numbers. This offers a way by whichi Comrades can maintain
their identity with the Grand Army of the Republic.
VI. The Department Commander desires to express his pleasure at
the knowledge that has come to him of the large number of reinstate-
ments to membership. It is hoped that this good work will be continued
all along the line, and that the very best effort to increase the mem-
bership will be put forth, to enroll every survivor of the War for the
suppression of the Rebellion.
VIII. The Sons of Veterans are our successors. They have worked
earnestly and faithfully to the end that they could be able to serve us;
They have a pride in what we did, and are deeply in earnest to make
their organization one that will be worth perpetuating the memory of
the Grand Army of the Republic. The Comrades of this Department
should give to them hearty encouragement in all ways possible.
VIII. The following additional appointments on the Staff of the De-
partment Commander are announced:

General Orders,
No. 8.
I. Post Officers elected to serve during 1905 must be installed at the
first stated meeting in January, or at a special meeting called for that
purpose as near the date of the regular meeting as may be possible.
II. The Department Commander is impressed with the beneficial re-
sults of open Installations and whenever possible, he recommends that
this feature be adopted. If the Post hall is too small to accommodate
their families and the many friends of the Post, court houses, churches
or other large rooms could no doubt be obtained for the purpose. Make
this event one of interest and pleasure to the comrades and the com-
munity.
III. On the recommendation of Comrade Chas. O. Smith, Chief Mus-
tering Officer, the duties of Installing Officer will be performed by the
Senior Past Post Commander present, although it is preferable that
arrangements for an Installing Officer be made prior to the date set
apart for the installation. Should a Past Commander decline to act,
the Post Commander may assign the duty to any Comrade who will
serve.

40 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
If a Post desires a Comrade other than a member of the Post to act as
Installing Officer, it will first arrange with the Comrade, and then for-
ward the name of the Comrade so selected with his Post No. and post-
office address to these Headquarters.
Officers elect who may be absent at the installation must be installed
by the Post Commander or by a Comrade assigned to that duty, at the
earliest possible date thereafter.
IV. Reports of Adjutants and Quartermasters, with per capita tax,
for the term ending December 31, are due immediately after the last
meeting held this month. Post Commanders are directed to give per-
sonal attention to the prompt forwarding of the same, as under the
Rules and Regulations, Post officers for the ensuing year cannot be in-
stalled, until such reports have been forwarded to Department Head-
quarters.
Checks, drafts and money orders must be drawn to the order of the
Assistant Quartermaster General, John L. Grim, but enclosed to Assist-
ant Adjutant General, Chas. A. Suydam. Credentials of Representatives
and AHernates to the Thirty-ninth Annual Department Encampment,
to be held at Reading, in June next, should be forwarded promptly.

V. Quartermasters are required to furnish bonds on the form provided
by this office; where Quartermasters have been re-elected, they will not
be required to make new bonds, unless the amount or condition of the
securities has been changed.
Installing officers should satisfy themselves that this requirement
has been complied with. Posts who have not been inspected, cannot
have their officers installed until this has been performed.
VI. Blank postal cards mailed with General Orders No. 7, should at
once be filled in with the names and addresses of the Post Commander
for 1905, and mailed without delay. If this matter is given prompt at-
tention, it will greatly enable the Assistant Adjutant General in getting
out a new edition or the Department Roster, at an early date.
VII. The Birthday of Washington, February 22, and that of Lincoln,
February 12, should be an inspiration to every Post to at once make
preparation for their proper observance; let us on these days lay aside
"the pursuits and pleasures of civil life" to contemplate the grandeur
of their character, and to again realize their wonderful achievements,
which has made our Country the greatest and best on earth.
VIII. National and Department Countersigns are enclosed with this
order. By direction of the Commander in Chief, they go into effect on
January 1st, 1905. Posts who do not receive them are delinquent.

geant in the 110th Penna. Volunteer Infantry, is at these Headquarters,

I. Over forty years ago you laid aside the implements of war, lifted
the broken thread of your life's work which had been torn, asunder by
your service in the Army and Navy, and started in to help bind the
wounds of our common country. You took your places in the ranks of
the Grand Army of the Republic, and faithfully, sympathetically, and
sincerely on the 30th day of every May, accompanied by a patriotic pub-
lic you have repaired to the cities of the dead, and there placed your
emblems of remembrance upon the graves of your Comrades who have
crossed the dark river, and are resting under the shade of the trees on
the other side. We are now approaching that period fn our lives when
again we will perform this loving service. The mounds over which
wave the flag of our country are multiplying with great rapidity, the
messenger of death is visiting the home of the Soldier, Sailor and Marine
of the War for the Suppression of the Rebellion with alarming frequen-
cy, and soon, ah! too soon, we shall have all answered the last call and
will stand in the presence of Him who doeth all things well, but in the
garlanded chambers of memory the veteran of the war will continue to
live until time shall be no more. Let ub, therefore, with a full knowl-
edge of the purposes of the day, imbued with that same patriotic spirit
that has actuated us for the past forty years, approach the discharge of
its duties with a reverent spirit, and as we scatter the beautiful flowers
of spring on the graves of our comrades, or cast them upon the waters
to the memory of the sailor and marine, let it be done with the thought
that with them it has been
"Life's race well run.
Life's work well done,
Life's victory won,
Then cometh Rest."

Camp Fire at the Academy of Music, Reading, 8 P. M., June 6, 1905.
Chairman of the Executive Committee, Lemon Buch, opened the Camp
Fire and when all was in readiness, the word was given, and the band
swung into the patriotic and stirring medley of "The Echoes of '61."
It was splendidly rendered and brought back to the veterans the days
of '61 when they marched and fought for the Union to the strains of the
stirring war songs. As the band began "The Star Spangled Banner,"
the entire audience arose, and remained standing until the close,
when the applause was deafening.
Department Chaplain Rev. John W. Sayers, D. D., made the follow-
ing prayer:
"Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, we come before Thee with grate-
ful hearts. We thank Thee for this hour, an hour so full of saxjred
memories to us, and we pray that Thy blessing may rest upon us, and
that all that is done to-night in this Camp Fire, may redound to Thy
honor and to Thy glory.
Grant that nothing may occur that shall mar the enjoyment of this
occasion, and when life with us is ended, may we gather with those who
have preceded us across the river, and praise Thee for ever and ever.
Amen."
Major Milton A. Gherst: Comrades and ladies and gentlomen, I have
been asked to announce the name of the presiding officer of this Camp-
fire. I want to relieve your minds at the outset by saying that I will
not make a speech, and the Comrade who has been selected as your
presiding officer needs no introduction to the Department of Pennsyl-
vania. He is handsome, eloquent and irrepressible, and he will speak
for himself. I have the pleasure of presenting to you Past Depart-
ment Commander Thos. G. Sample, of Post 128, Allegheny. (Applause.)

Past Department Commander Sample: Now what do you think of
an introduction like that for a man to face a great audience like this
for the balance of the night? I am reminded of that old experience when
we used to stand in the front line of battle waiting for the order to
go in; you old fellows all recollect what that meant; you couldn't do
any shooting, you just had to stand there and you had to take just
what came, and just about the time the courage of all was oozing out,
and their hair beginning to stand up, and they were ready to get out
and run, the performance began. You would have seen me run after
that introduction, if it was not for the fact that I had a little pride about
me that made me determine that I would see this thing out.
A presiding olUcer is like a bridegroom on a wedding day; he is a
sort of disagreeable necessity; you have got to have him around to
sort of encourage the bride to go on with the performance, but he isn't
of any further use.
i want to say that this audience ought to please every Comrade of
the Grand Army and his friends from all parts of the State. When we
voted in Gettysburg to come to Reading, and Comrade Lem. Buch
and his friends turned in to give us a welcome, we expected to be
well treated, but oh my! what a royal reception they are giving us,
and how well we feel towards the people of Reacung. Now I am not
going to make any speech; it is not my province. I will trot out the
horses, and I will start them on the road, and then you can all tell
whether they approach the quarter chain all right, and if they do what
they ought to do, applaud them, but if not, let them sit down and hold
their peace.
The grst number on the program — I am trying to think that I am
young, but I am not; I will just put my glasses on — the first number will
be an address of welcome by the Mayor of the city, the Hon. E. R.
Gerber, who will tell you, Comrades, and you ladies, and the people
from all parts of the State, how glad the people of Reading are to have
you here.
Mayor Gerber: Mr. President, officers and members of the Grand
Army, ladies and gentlemen, one year ago my predecessor extended the
formal invitation to you to hold your next Encampment in this city.
He described its advantages as a convention city to you, told you of
the beauty with which nature has endowed it, and of the respect of its
people for the Grand Army of the Republic. You accepted that invita-
tion and it now becomes my duty as the present chief executive to
welcome you among us. I know of no organization that is more en-
titled to be received with unstinted hospitality and welcome than that
of the Grand Army. I know of no body of men who are more welcome
in the homes of our people than the men who offered their lives in de-
fense of those homes, when danger threatened.
Time moves on relentlessly and unceasingly; I need not tell you that
your ranks are thinning out, but the glory of your deeds and the memory
of your sacrifices will go on undimmed and unforgotten long after all
of us have passed away.

52 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
To bid you welcome, therefore, is not only a pleasant duty, but it is an
honor which I esteem. I trust that your sojourn in this city which was
founded by the Penns 157 years ago, will be pleasant and profitable;
that you will carry home with you recollections of time well spent,
and that we may all be better and more patriotic for your coming. I
bid you welcome not once, but thrice welcome. I might say in this
connection a few words in behalf of the committee which arranged for
this gathering. That committee, headed by your Comrade Lemon
Buch has worked hard and successfully, how successfully you have
doubtless already observed. Comrade Buch began work immediately
on his return from the Encampment a year ago and has been at it ever
since. He has had the hearty co-operation of our people and he is
justly proud of the result of his labors. I congratulate your Chairman.
I congratulate the committees that have assisted him, and I congratu-
late the Grand Army. Again I bid you welcome. (Applause.)
The Chairman: In the eternal fitness of things, it is in order to re-
spond to this welcome; it is proper that some person should respond on
behalf of the Department of Pennsylvania. We have many eloquent
men in our ranks, and if you were in our conventions sometimes, you
would suppose that we were all natural born orators, but there is one
among us who stands away above us all as the most eloquent Comrade
of the Grand Army of the Republic, who will respond in behalf of the
Department of Pennsylvania and in behalf of his Comrades from the
North, South, East and West, Past Commander-in-Chief, Comrade
Thomas J. Stewart. (Great Applause.)
Past Department Commander Thomas J. Stewart: Mr. Chairman,
Comrades, ladies and gentlemen, the most dangerous thing on an occa-
sion of this kind is an introduction. That is what we all are airaid of,
especially when Comrade Sample ia in the chair. I remember speaking
of the glorious hospitality and welcome of Reading, a speech that was
made in one of our Department Encampments, praising another city
in this State in the warmest terms, and it seems to apply magnifi-
cently to Reading, although it was not made in the interest of Reading
at that time, but this Comrade, who made the speech to which I have
referred, said, "Comrades, ve vill gif you everything you vant; if you
vant wasser, all you got to do is to ask for it, and you can get it, or
you can go into any drug store and if you vant anyting else to drink,
dey vill gif it to you, and he says, it is the ^nest place to live ever you
vas in in your life. Dey got de nicest girls to wait on de tables by de
hotels; day alvays pring you someding goot to eat, anyting you vant,
you yust ask dem and you get it, and if you go dere to live, you vill
live, forefer, if someting don't happen." (Laughter.)
I think we would all be glad to stay in Reading, "if someting don't
happen." But even if something does J^appen, the Mayor has assured
use that he turns over the keys of the city to the Grand Army of the
Republic for the time being. I have seen welcome written almost
everywhere.

GRAND ARMY OP THE REPUBLIC. 53
1 remember an occasion when the Grand Army of the Republic met
in its annual Encampment in a city of this State where they had all
the flags out, and the banners were thick, and we were marching past
a large building in the parade where there was a great banner bunging
out, and innumerable smaller banners with the word "welcome" written
overy every one of them, and the flags were flying and the bands play-
ing, and a comrade said, as some of us were riding along past this
great building, "What is that building?" The driver says, "That's the
jail." (Laughter.) So you see we are welcome everywhere, although
sometimes we don't seem to appreciate it because we don't wish to par-
take of the hospitality of that particular institution, but Reading to-
night has given a glorious welcome to the Grand Army of the Republic
and the veteran soldier. Your flags old and new, large and small are
waving a welcome to us from the windows, from the hill sides and from
the mountain tops, and that flag never had any better or nobler de-
fenders in all its history than the men of the Grand Army of the Re-
public. (Applause.)
The Grand Army of the Republic, Mr. Mayor, is honored, sir, by being
within your gates, and accepting of your hospitality. It is an honor to
be within the gates of the county and within the gates of the city that
gave to the cause of the Union some of that great band of 530 men that
shall live down through the ages as the "First Defenders." (Applause.)
They, like all the great hosts that took part in that four years of trial
and of war, become soldiers under the highest, strongest and grandest
impulse that can actuate men, and whereever the soldier and sailor ap-
pears in this day and time, we are glad to see that he is welcome, and
especially do we recognize and appreciate that he is welcome in the
city of Reading, whence went forth so many of your citizens to help
make up the armies of the Union from '61 to '65.
We to night can appreciate looking back over the years from 1860 to
this magniflcent present, just what was involved in that great struggle,
but never was there a result struggled for by any nation in all history
that was more completely realized or which carried on its banners
principles of greater importance to the liberties of the world. The flag
of this Republic to night floats proudly and grandly over every foot of
our territory and the men who in the days long gone with angry hands
were reaching for the stars in its blue, and who would have torn it
from its place and driven it from the sky — these men are now ready to
acknowledge that their own banner went down in defeat, and they are
ready to rejoice in that defeat and that we have to-day a united coun-
try, a country dedicated to freedom and humanity ever since the new
morning dawned upon the old at Appomattox. For flfty years we have
lived in glory, we have lived in grandeur and in magnificent achievement
in this country, but all that we have of glory, all that we have of gran-
deur in this magnificent present, are but the fruits that were gathered
from the seed time which was from '61 to '65 when the soldier and the
sailor offered their lives to keep the flag in its place and to keep this land

united, and what we have today as security in our homes and what we
have of solidity in our institutions, are the result of all that was done
during those four heroic years in the life of this Republic.
We are glad to be here in this city to-night, and all these welcomes
•and these reunions revive and stimulate the patriotism that kept the
men in the field and the sailors on the decks of our ships of war during
all those four years, and this glorious welcome to Reading can but
revive the patriotism and stimulate it in the hearts of the younger men
who must be the defenders in the years to come of all their fathers
won in the years that are gone.
The mayor said something about the declining years of the soldier. It
is true so far as the veteran soldier is concerned, that we are passing
along; we are falling off, and we realize and understand and know that
the evening shadows are gathering about us. We realize that the boys
of '61 to '65, of which there were 231,000 in the Union Army under
sixteen years of age, 15,000 under fourteen years old, and 288 under
twelve years of age, and in that great aggregate of the millions gath-
ered under the old flag, there were 2,000,000 of men under 21 years of
age, who are approaching the gathering twilight of their years. They do
not view that with sadness nor do they speak of it in tears, but rather
in elation that their lot was cast in a time when it was their privilege
and their glory to work, to toil and to endure, that the nation might
be united, might be consolidated, and that it might take its place as
the leader of all the nations of the earth, leading them up to a new
and better history and to a newer and grander life. (Applause.)
We meet here in our reunions and we relate the old experiences
and we sing the old songs, and no songs ever had such a place in the
hearts of the people as the songs that were sung from '61 to '65, some
of the airs that were rendered by this magniflcent band in this great
meeting to-night.
No war has given us such airs, such sentiment and such song, and
out of no war in all history, out of one of which came our "Star
Spangled Banner" has there been forged on the anvil of war, in the
white heat of battle, any such organization of soldiers and sailors as
that which makes up the Grand Army of the Republic to-day, an organi-
zation which has always been close to this nation's heart, an organiza-
tion that has been more deeply rooted in the hearts and affections of the
people than any organization that ever existed; an organization that
has taught the people patriotism and taught them to love and revere
and honor the flag of their qountry; that has unfurled the stars and
stripes over every school house until the children are taught to look
out and see that —

GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 55
"There are many flags of many a land
And flags of every hue,
But there is no flag however grand
Ldke our own red. white and blue.
Then hurrah for the flag, our country's flag
Its stripes and white stars too;
There is no flag in any land
Like our own red, white and blue.
I know where the prettiest colors are,
And I'm sure if I only knew
How to get them here. I could make a flag
Of glorious red, white and blue.
I would cut a piece from the evening sky
Where the stars were shining through
And use it just as it was on high
For my stars and field of blue. •
Then I'd want a part of a fleecy cloud
And some red from a rainbow bright;
And put them together side by side
For my stripes of red and white.
We shall always love the stars and stripes,
And we mean to be ever true
To this land of ours, and the dear old flag
The red. the white and blue."
To-night as the defenders of our flag, in its hour of darkness and trial,
in these piping times of peace, when the men of the Grand Army of the
Republic are as loyal and as true as they were in the days of war, we
come within your midst, and accept with kindly hearts your glorious
welcome and your splendid hospitality.
I accept it for all the Grand Army of the Republic all over this nation,
for the men who have taken your torn battle standards and blood
stained banners and carried them in a pilgrimage from the Atlantic to
the Pacific coast.
I accept it for every man living to-day who followed the flag of the
Union in the war for the suppression of the Rebellion, and all the wars
in which this land has been engaged.
I accept it for all the patriotic men and women who aided th^ old
armies of the Union in all the work they had to do. I accept it for
every man who sleeps to-night in an unknown grave, and who gave
not only his life, but his very name, for his country. I accept it on
behalf of the Grand Army of the Republic located within the glorious
State of Pennsylvania, rich in all her soldiers dead and living, rich in
patriotism and in affection for the Union, and for all that we as a people
have accomplished and hold so dear, and for all those for whom I
accept this welcome, I voice the prayer that there may never be a time
in all the years of this Republic, when the men who are willing to
give their lives and shed their blood upon the altars of human liberty
and human progress, shall be less welcome than they are in the city
of Reading to-night, and I assure you of the unstinted, heartfelt thanks
and appreciation of the Grand Army of the Republic. (Applause.)
The Chairman: Didn't I tell you what you might expect? That's the
first one of the Grand Army of th© Republic that I have had the pleas-

ure of presenting. Now you will believe me in everything else that I
may say during the balance of the evening.
We will now have some music by the quartette of Post 16.
A Comrade: The quartette ain't here; they will not believe you any
more. (Laughter.)
The Chairman: Well, it's on the program; I supposed they were here;
if not, then the band will toot a small piece.
The band then played "The American Patrol." This represented the
approach, the march past, and disappearance of a military parade, and
was cheered to the echo.
The Chairman: If I had had the opportunity to-night to introduce the
next number on the program, it would have given me more genuine,
heartfelt satisfaction than anything I know of. My own daughter was
to have been the song-bird on this occasion, and was down on the pro-
gram for this number, but she was compelled on account of the sick-
ness of her child, to return to her home in Kentucky; otherwise she
would have been here to-night to have sung for this splendid audience.
(Referring to Mrs. Irene Sample Blackwell of Kentucky.)
The Grand Army of the Republic is a peculiar institution. We elect
our Post Commanders and Department Commanders and then we come
together from all the great states in this magnificent country, and out
of all the 255 thousand members of the order, we pick out one man and
we elect him as a Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public. Just think of it, that the grandest body of men that ever
marched under any banner or any flag, come together and one is se-
lected, forty years after the war is over, to lead these men for a year.
To-night the Department of Pennsylvania and citizens of Reading are
honored with the presence of the Commander-in-Chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic, and while he is a Massachusetts man, he is a
Pennsylvania soldier. It gives me great pleasure therefore to present
to you to-night. Comrade W. W. Blackmar, the Commander-in-Chief
of the Grand Army of the Republic. (Applause.)
Commander-in-Chief Blackmar: Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen,
it is a mighty hard thing, and we all know it who do some speaking,
to follow dear old Tom Stewart, but he has done a good thing to-night
for he has waked up this audience and made them so receptive that
anything with a Grand Army badge on it will be acceptable. I thank the
presiding officer first for presiding. I have just come back from a long,
long trip through the Southern States and to the Pacific Ocean,
and I heard on my trip that dear old Tom Sample was sick, and I am
so glad to find it is not true, but if he is sick, I don't want to have any-
thing to do with him when he is well.
Yes, I am from Massachusetts; but when the war broke out and men
were called for, I came home and enlisted in a Pennsylvania regiment,
and I have always been very thankful that I did. I did another thing in
Pennsylvania, I was born here; (Laughter) over on the Delaware, and
for that I am thankful, although we are getting old, as some of them

have told you. These fellows will all deny it if you get at them 'per-
sonally, but as our presiding officer and as my honored predecessor in
this exalted position who spoke to you so eloquently has said, we would
not have it otherwise than that, we of the generation that did not
shirk its duty, but assumed the great responsibility of the war of the
Rebellion and fought it to a finish. (Applause). For that we are
thankful, for that we are proud, and if we must give up our experi-
ences during the great war of the rebellion, if we must give up the
dear friendships that have come to us during these years since the war
in the great Grand Army of the Republic, why even the glorious, splen-
did, envied youth of the young women and men who are just coming
upon the stage, we would pass by with the truthful saying in our hearts,
we will not ask for youth, we would not take it as a gift if it must
deprive us of our experience during and since the great war of the
Rebellion.
For a good while now I have been trying to imitate and emulate my
honored predecessor in this office. There are several of them upon the
stage here to-night, the Nestors of the organization, by going out and
trying to do something for the old comrades that shall at least remind
them that I highly appreciate the great honor conferred in electing me
to this office. I wondered what I could do to best show them my ap-
preciation and perhaps do something for the order, and I made up my
mind, that God giving me strength, I would look into the faces and take
by the hand as many Comrades as I possibly could during my term of
office, and so I have been out and I speak of it for many reasons, and
for two especially.
I began away up in the New England states and went to their De-
partment Encampments all but Connecticut, and I was there last night,
and then started out for Delaware where my honored predecessors
Beath and Wagner came to see me off. We had a Department Encamp-
ment in Delaware, and we had to walk very carefully for fear we would
fall off the State — we were in Wilmington, Delaware, a little bit of a
state, and it was magnificent in its reception. Wherever we go, no
matter how few they are, the boys make us so welcome, that it is a
reward for the effort in getting there, and these dear Comrades come and
started me off and bade me God speed in the long journey before me. We
went on through Maryland and on through Washington and on to At-
lanta, Georgia, to Chattanooga, Tennessee, to Florence, Alabama, and
then ever beyond through Memphis and Arkansas to the Hot Springs in
Arkansas where they held their Department Encampment; then to New
Orleans, from there up to Dallas, Texas, and from there to Albuquerque,
New Mexico, and then over into California, that magnificent State to
Los Angeles and San Francisco, and then up to Marysville beyond
Sacremento where they had their Department Encampment; then over
to Ogden, Utah, and then, where we are going to meet next September,
to that magnificent city, Denver, Colorado, and they are making great
preparations for you there and want you to come and bring all your

friends, and it does seem, if they keep half of their promises, that you
will have the time of your lives. From there I went to Kansas and
then to Nebraska and then on to the glorious old Department of Illinois,
where we wound up that trip. Now we are starting out to take in the
great middle states, and after visiting the great middle states, along in
July we propose to go up into the Northwest where the Department
Encampments are to be held and they are going to have a great camp-
fire in Boise, Idaho, and from there we go to Tacoma and Seattle,
Washington, and then the Surveyor General of Alaska, who is Past De-
partment Commander of Illinois, and whose home is at Rockford, is
on his way back and he has invited us to come, and we have accepted his
invitation. He is the Surveyor Greneral, next in command to the Gov-
ernor of Alaska, and we are going up to Sitka to hold a magnificent
Campfire up there, so I tell you of the little journeys we have planned,
and the thousands we have met and thousands we expect to meet, and
we have conveyed to them as we met them, as I convey to you, the
good wishes, the God-speed, the hearty loving words of welcome over
every part of this great country from all the Comrades who stood
shoulder to shoulder with you in the battles of the Republic from Bull
Run to Appomattox. It is a glorious thing to meet all these comrades,
and, my comrades, you need not be ashamed of the dear old boys wher-
ever you find them anywhere in this country. Why, we got off in some
Departments that we never perhaps went to before — we step off the
train and do we land among stangers? Oh, no; we see there on the plat-
form a man wearing the little bronze button, and we go up to him and
put our hand in his, and we are then hand in hand not only with a
comrade, but with a dear friend, for the terms are synonymous, and
we are received as brothers wherever we go in this great land. Oh, my
Comrades; that little bronze button that cannot be bought, that cannot
be received and owned by inheritance even, that little bronze button is
me open sesame to all and everything in the nature of a loving recep-
tion wherever we go, and these dear old fellows realize and remember
as do you, that even Rockafeller or Carnegie, or any man of great
wealth cannot buy that little bronze button. (Applause.) How did
you get it? Oh, Comrades; you earned it upon the battlefields of the
Republic, and no man can possess himself of that, except he earned it
where we earned it, and it is indeed an emblem to be prized, and one
that has not and can never have its equal upon this globe.
I was away out in Kansas, and I heard of the death of my Judge-Advo-
cate, Judge Thayer, of St. Louis, a learned and splendid Comrade; a
man who had been for many years a member of the Circuit Court, and
had been mentioned for the Supreme Court. The loss to us as an or-
ganization was great, but while I was there in Kansas — it only demon-
strates what we learned in the great war, that no matter how magnifi-
cent a Comrade fell before the bullets of the enemy, some one stepped
into his place, and all things went on as usual. Out there, as I say,
I learned of his death. The Judge-Advocate of the Department is

charged with important duties about various things, and out there in
Kansas I met this man and he was a splendid Comrade, and I took a
great liking to him, as you would to a learned man, a man who was
the Judge of the DistrictCJourt, had been three times elected — they elect
tneir judges out there, not appoint them, as we do in our State, for
life — an ideal fellow, a splendid Comrade, and found that he
rode in the Third West Virginia Cavalry in the old brigade that served
up here in Pennsylvania; he was up here at the time your Commander-
in-Chief was at Chambersburg; got there the next morning in time to
see the results of that cowardly and uncalled for burning of the homes
of women and children. He saw, as did they ail who were there, the
horrors of that terrible scene. Oh, it was something to be remembered
as long as life lasts. That little town, beautiful, as you know, was
laid in ashes; the people there without homes wandering in the streets,
the dead unburied, the sick lying on the sidewalk. It reminded me then
and does now as I look upon it, as I ^recall it to my mind, like a terrible
dream, of some things I have read of the old French Revolution where
the people were crazed; they were going through the streets where the
rebels ha4 just been driven out of them, and in one place a Major had
paused a little too long, demanding a ransom before he burned the
house, and hearing our cheers as we came in in the early morning, the
householder instead of paying the ransom demanded, put a bullet
through the rebel Major's head. I shall never forget the scene; an
old gray-haired citizen had the body of this Major on a wheel-barrow,
tne head lying over the wheel, and was wheeling him through the
streets, and the citizens, men, women and children were picking at >.is
clothing, and saying everything that you can think of abouc this poor
dead rebel. It was a scene that, if put on canvas by an artist would
chill the blood of the people that looked at his canvas a hundred years
after he had executed it. As prevost marshal of the hrigade,
I had charge of the prisoners; we brought most of them in with
us, and we have got them in the square and the burning buildings
were all around, and we made a circle of the provost guard about them,
and I am mighty glad to say as a Pennsylvania boy, and as our eloquent
Commander Stewart has said, I am glad to say for the honor of our
old birth-state and the uniform I wore, that we gave them protection.
I look back upon it and speak of It now with satisfaction. I stood there
and faced those citizens and a lot of our boys who lost their heads and
led them on as a mob — they wanted to take these prisoners and throw
them into the burning buildings; you could hardly blame them if you
had seen the wreck and ruin that was around them. That beautiful
city of Chambersburg would now hardly suggest the horrible scene of
that morning, but this Judge-Advocate followed those men together
with our command until we overtook them at Moorefield and then at
the battle-cry "Remember Chambersburg," we went in and annihilated
their whole division so that McCausland never appeared again in the
field with any command, and this Judge-Advocate remembered all this

60 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
and brought it back to my mind with all the details of the final charge
at Moorefield. I immediately appointed that splendid Comrade for our
Judge-Advocate-Geueral of the Grand Army of the Republic, and when
you come to see Judge Moore at Denver you Will indeed find a splendid
Grand Army man.
Now I have told you this story for many purposes, and one is to illus-
trate this fact, that everywhere through this country I find our Comrades
men of note and infiuence, worthy men; men that we may be proud of,
holding good positions in their communities, often leaders in their
communities; they are men worthy to be respected as they are, and the
Grand Army of the Republic, as has been said to-night, is holding the
love and affection of the people throughout this magnificent country.
Even in the South — I dreaded to go down there, because I didn't know
what might be said, and I feared I might say something in return — I
wanted to treat those people fairly and well. You know we turned
over to them at the surrender at. Appomattox — those of you that were
there will remember it, we divided with them our food and gave them
our extra clothinng; we began by treating them well. I didn't know
wnat they might do, but I found almost without exception, they were
friendly and pleasant. They have seen the light, and it seems that
everything is coming right, and the final battles in which we were en-
gaged, are now ripening into feelings of loyalty and friendship that make
for unity, for the strong uniting of this magnificent country of ours
into a nation, one and the one, among the nations of the world.
There was only one little incident down there away in the South,
when one of the Confederates — some of them I had met in Boston —
one of them spoke up from the circle around me and said **I would like
to hear from the Commander-in-Chief, his opinion about our co^nstitu-
tional action forty odd years ago in performing our duty according
.o the Constitution." I pretended not to hear him. I have a very
decided opinion on that question, and did not think that was the place
to discuss that question, and I remarked to another Confederate that it
was a beautiful day, but the Confederate was determined to be heard
and he said to me, "I am a Virginian." I looked at him, and I took one
step nearer to him, and I looked him right in the eye, and I said to
him, "I am an American." (Applause.) That ended the incident, and
that, my Comrades, is the keynote of this our great country; we are
Americans. True, I live in Massachusetts, but as I have traveled all
over these different Departments, away out to the Pacific coast and back
to the Atlantic, seeing this magnificent country and only the stars and
stripes wherever I have been in all these more than ten thousand miles
of travel, the belief has grown with me until it has sunk into my heart,
that that is the thing, that is the belief, to teach our children, and our
people, and to say ourselves, we are Americans, and this great country
belongs to us.
Why, out in Denver they describe their city as the most American
city that was ever dreamed of, and their city, Oh, Mr. Mayor; you

should hear them describe their city. I have got an old trunk full of
things that have been told to me about their cities by the Mayors
throughout the land, and as for the Governors, splendid fellows, two of
them Grand Army men, I might tell you how with the greatest grace
and courtesy they accepted positions on the staff of the Commander-in-
Chief. We are getting a fine lot of men on the staff.
If you go through this country, as you all should, travel through the
country and see what a magnificent country it is, worth living and
dying for, you will love it better than ever.
I am glad to see so many young people here. All through the dif-
ferent places where I have been, the schools have been closed and the
children lined the streets, each provided with a flag. In Ogden and
Los Angeles, they were there in perfect swarms, and it is a splendid
thing to have it so, my Comrades. It is a gratifying thing to known
and feel as Comrades, that we are respected and honored by the pure
and innocent souls of the children. We must appeal to them and teach
them the lessons of patriotism; that is what we stand for; that is
what these noble women of the Relief Corps and Ladies of the G. A. R.
are doing with all their heart and soul every day in every department
of this great nation, and there is where the work must be done, to teach
the children patriotism, the school children. No matter what you give
them in the way of education, no matter what you shower upon them
in the way of privileges in our public schools, if they are not taught
the fundamental, basal principles of patriotism, all the rest is wasted
and you are in danger of bringing up a great community of men and
women who may as well be anarchists.
We, my Comrades, wherever v/e are in all this great country, are
loyal, true and patriotic and we are a great conservative body, the
greatest conservative body of men in the country, and anybody that
heads any gi-eat movement looking to the benefit of our nation, the
Grand Army has been right behind him and helps him in every way.
We must help the children; teach them patriotism by our own spirit
and these songs, these beautiful tunes that the band has been playing,
so much better from our standpoint that the music of Beethoven or
Mozart are in danger of being forgotten. Less than ten years
ago, in a great audience that filled Tremont Temple in Boston, where
my Post was conducting Memorial Day exercise, we had invited a school,
and one young lady said afterwards, that that was the first time she
had ever heard the Star Spangled Banner, but if you will remember
not so very many years ago, before the Spanish-American war, our
old war tunes become unfashionable and you did not hear them. It is
a pity to let them die out. They mean something because of the men
that marched to those tunes, throughout the war of the Rebellion.
Two years ago I was in Japan and as I went into the great world's
fair at Nagasaki, I heard the band playing something, and what do you
suppose it was? "Marching Through Georgia." Why, my Comrades
you know if you think a moment that the Brritish army, any army, the

Japanese will do very well for an illustration, any army made up of
brave men don't march to the tune of cowards or poltroons, and when
I heard the dear old Marching Through Georgia being played by a Japan-
ese band, it gave me a very good opinion of the Japs, and I looked at
them, the army of soldiers and the naval men on the ships, and I made
up my mind two things were going to happen ; they were going to fight
Russia and going to give her the test of her life, and so I said two
years ago. (Applause.)
One word, my Comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic, and
you younger people here, one word that may explain in great measure
the terrible and unprecedented defeat of the Russians on land and sea.
Say that those armies of the Russians en the land had won; say that
those great naval forces had won on the sea of Japan. Would their
sailors or their soldierrs have been one whit better off? There is not
one of them that owns a rood 'of land or a bit of personal property. They
do not have the right or the power to read, only a very small portion
of them. They have absolutely no interest in their government; they
have no rights and no power of holding property, real or personal. All
the property of Russia is held in the hands of a few thousand men;
tney have no interest in their government, hence they are not like the
army that we marched with shoulder to shoulder during the War of the
Rebellion. Our bayonets were thinking bayonets and we of this great
nation were fighting in a war more to be justified than any war that was
ever waged upon the face of the world. So you may account, in great
measure, for the defeat of the Russian army. Their soldiers and their
sailors unlike ourselves, my Comrades, have no interest in their gov-
ernment; they have nothing to lose and nothing to gain either by vic-
tory or defeat. It does not mean to them what it did to us.
Now, my Comrades, I bid you God-speed. I join with my Comrade,
who has thanked you so eloquently, in thanks to this magnificent mu-
nicipality, in thanks to its Mayor, and through him to every individual
in this city, and here in this magnificent State of Pennsylvania, and
in this beautiful city, it is a peculiar delight to the old soldier to find
that forty years after the war, the Mayor, representing the younger
generations, and the ^ople under his government can be so loyal, can
be so true, can be so considerate of the men who fought the battles of
the Republic and made that the only flag that can wave from the Pacific
to the Atlantic, from the Lakes to the Gulf, over this magnificent coun-
try.
I thank you for your reception and for your attention. (Applause.)
The Chairman: There are some things in which the Grand Army of
the Republic of Pennsylvania is very much interested and one of those
things is the boys and girls that are being educated at the expense of
this State. There have been nearly eighteen thousand of them sent out
in all parts of this great country, sons and daughters of the soldiers of
the war of the Rebellion. I have one here, and I am going to escort
her to the front of the platform.

(The Chairman then escorted a little girl apparently about five years
old to the front of the platform.)
Now this is Miss Elsie Beebe, of the Chester Springs Soldiers* Or-
phans' School, and I have brought her out here because I want you to
hear what this little girl has to say.
The little girl then cleverly recited a poem entitled, "I'se Bad, I Guess
I is," which was roundly applauded.
The little girl was in charge of Dr. M. B. Hughes, Superintendent
and Miss Bertha Holgate, of the Home.
The Chairman: I just want to say to this audience that we have three
of those schools in this State and we will be delighted — the members of
the Commission will be delighted to have the citizens of Pennsylvania
go into them and see what we are endeavoring to do for the boys and
girls. We are proud of these children ; we are proud of what they can
do, and proud of what they have done, and we believe that this great
State in the future will be proud of the record that has been made by
these children when the schools shall be closed.
Now Pennsylvania is a great State; I needn't tell you that, because
we are here in Berks county and that is a part of Pennsylvania. (Ap-
plause). They don't always vote right all the time, you know, but
ours is a great State. Pennsylvania has been honored by the National
Encampment from its early history by very many Comrades filling the
position of Commander-in-Chief. To-day we are the only State that has
four living Past Commanders-in-Chief, represented within our ranks.
We have the oldest— the Senior Ck>mmander-in-Chief, Past Department
Commander of Pennsylvania, the Psist National Junior Vice Commander-
in-Chief and Past Penior Vice Commander-in-Chief, and the Past Com-
mander-in-Chief, who, in the early history of the Grand Army of the
Republic, when it was not so popular to belong to it as it is now when
it required earnest and sincere effort on the part of the men who were
carrying this banner in order to keept it together — these men are still
in the ranks.
Napoleon once said to one of his armies, "Your proudest boast should
be that you belong to the army of Italy," and these Comrades demon-
strate that your proudest boast should be that you, from '61 to '65 be-
longed to the army for the suppression of the Rebellion, and since that
time you have marched along in the ranks of the Grand Army of the
Republic. Among the men who are here to-night, is the Senior Past
Commander-in-Chief, Comrade General Louis Wagner, and we will be
glad to hear from him.
Past Commander-in-Chief Wagner: Mr. Chairman, Comrades, ladies
and Gentlemen, I of course knew that was coming and therefore all
ihis Senior business didn't astonish me a bit. There is a protest, how-
ever, I desire to make, Mr. Chairman, to the suggestion made by Past
Commander-in-Chief Stewart and Commander-in-Chief Blackmar, and
that is, that we are getting old. This little girl is the orphan of a sol-
dier who fought in the war for the suppression of the Rebellion; it is

not necessary to make any further comments. (Laughter and applause.)
Some of these people may be getting old, by the way they are hobbling
around on sticks, but that is their misfortune; I don't know, perhaps
their fault; I protest against all that exhibit of seniority. Of course
you understand that the only war I fought in was that of '61 to '65 and
not as you may be led to believe, by what you have heard from the
Chairman, that I fought in the war of 1812. (Laughter.)
I am very much interested in parts of this official program, that
portion of it headed "Berks' heroes in the Civil War." First I want
to protest against that suggestion "Civil War." There never was any
civil war. There was a rebellion and we put it down, but I am inter-
ested in that suggestion for other reasons; if it is fame to be killed in
battle and have your name mis-spelled, as I note upon this program
it is not the sort of fame we crave. I find among the heroes of Berks,
under the head of the 88th Regiment, which was ours — we suppressed
the Rebellion. There were three companies from Reading, the first was
Company A, commanded as appears on the program by Captain George
^^. Knable. Now some of the old soldiers ought to know that that is
Captain Knabb, a man living to-day and suffering mentally and phy-
sically, decrepit in every possible respect, caused by a bullet received
in battle which lodged under his spinal column, one of the heroes of
the war, evidently forgotten, even to the extent of believing him dead,
when he is still living, a care and a burden and an anxiety to his wife
and his children, because of the wounds he received in battle, and from
which he is suffering and continues to suffer, even unto this day. It
is not the men, ladies and gentlemen, who are killed who suffered the
most, but take a case like this, in daily and hourly pain* and misery;
fortunately he has reached that condition of mind and nerve when he
hardly knows that he is alive, one of Berks county's brave soldiers.
Then when you take these other names and companies — Company B,
Captain Henry R. Myers, and Company H, Captain D. A. Griffith, and
call the roll of these men from Berks county who enlisted as soldiers
for the suppression of the Rebellion, and joined the regiment to which
I belonged. This man and that man, and the other man, gave their
lives for the maintenance of our institutions and for the support* of
our flag, and if this roll was called to-night, while these names might
appear strange to many of you, I am sifre that there are hundreds
present who would recall them, Captain Rhoads, Lieut. Col. James
Blaine, killed at Bull Run, the battle in which I was killed, according
to the newspapers, the battlefield I visited but a few weeks ago and
saw the place where he gave his life for the country and where I was
wounded and taken prisoner. The newspaper said I was killed, but as
I said to the man who published one of the papers that containedjthe
news, that I knew it was not so as soon as I saw it, and I have had no
confidence in the papers since that time; couldn't believe a word they
said. They would make a false report rather than a true one. He got
la little excited and finally laid his hand on my shoulder and said,

"Never mind, General, we were not running the newspaper at that
time; if we had been, you would have been dead." Why, if you will
take this list furnished you in this official bulletin, it will bring you
back to the years '61 to '65 when hundreds of thousands of them enlisted
for the defense of the flag, hundreds of thousands who left your State
nievjer to return, not even as corpes to be buried with the honors of
war. But the country exists to-day one and indivisible because of their
s;ervices and because of the fact that they, and we, and hundreds of
thousands of others, responded to the call, and said, "We are coming.
Father Abraham, five hundred thousand more." We came, and others
came to put down the attempt to destroy this country of ours, and
thanked God that we secured the victory after all these conflicts, and
that for forty years now we have met, and I trust and pray that for
many more years to come, we shall meet, not to wave the bloody shirt,
as they do in some parts of our country — not in the North — but to re-
count our battles over again, because it can only be in that way kept
alive in the hearts and minds of the coming generation, the great truths
for which we fought and which we firmly established, it can only be
by doing this, by gathering in places like this, with thoughts of patriot-
ism and love of country, and determination to give life, if need be, for the
flag — only in this way, our spirit can be left in the minds and hearts
of those who will succeed us as the coming generations of men and
women in this land of ours.
It is noble and grand to die for one's country, yes, a nobler deed no
man can do, but it is just as noble and just as grand to live for that
country, as well as to die for it, and by your example as a citizen to
show forth that the principles for which we fought and the convictions
which influenced us shall remain as a lesson of loyalty for the genera-
tions that are to follow us, that they may realize that they are princi-
ples and doctrines and rules that will make for the best interests of
the land, and we, as the remainder, if you please, we who still live to
receive the plaudits of our admiring fellow-citizens and friends, must
so live and so shape our conduct and our action, that the coming genera-
tions will learn that we fought not merely for an idea, for a principle,
but that in our lives as well as in our deaths, if we had been called to
die, we honored our country.
We have lived to see the principles of our republican form of govern-
ment so firmly established that all Hell could not shake it, and our
country will continue prosperous and an example for all the nations, let
us hope for hundreds of thousands of years to come.
The Chairman: I was nearly horrified and nearly fell off my chair
when I heard Past Commander-in-Chief Wagner use the expression "all
hell."
Past Commander-in-Chief Wagner: You can readily see why Sample
was horrified when he heard the word hell. He wants to keep just as
far away from it as possible. I don't know what he has done to make
him so sensitive. (Xjaughter.)

66 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT. DEPT. OF PENNA.,
The Chairman: We have another Past Commander-in-Chief a royal
good fellow, one that we all love.
When we were out to Denver with the Commander-in-Chief making ar-
rangements for the Encampment, the Mayor of Denver said in his
address, **We want you to come to Denver and bring everybody with
you. We will welcome you to our homes, and we will take you to our
hearts, and our girls will clasp you in their arms and wish you God-
speed." When it came to my time to speak I said that about the time
we got there there might be a rush and I would prefer, if the girls were
to clasp me in their arms, that they would clasp me now.
I want to introduce to you Past Commander-in-Chief Comrade Beath.
(Applause.) He knows more law than all of us combined.
Past Commander-in-Chief Beath: Mr. Chairman, Comrades and ladies
and gentlemen, I am not going to make a speech or try to; the hour is
getting late and probably there has been talk enough. I wish I could
throw in some of the funny things that Comrade Stewart can get off
once in a while. We old fellows deal a great deal in reminiscence; I
could not help thinking of the olden time when I heard this magnifi-
cent band, this Ringgold band play for us this afternoon, and to-night
of forty-four years ago, and that is a long time to look back for some
of you; forty-four years ago there were two young men walking behind
the Ringgold Band of '61 who became among the first of the Post Com-
manders of this Department and both Department Commanders and
both Commanders-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, the
only regiment in the United States that can boast of two Commanders-
in-Chief, and I was more than pleased to find that two of the tooters
of '61 are tooting for us to-night. (Applause.) Long may they be able
to blow their own horns and everybody else's. One of the funny things
I can think of connected with the old Ringgold Band — I am not going
to mention names — but he was a German, and he was out a little later
than usuel one night, and when he came back into camp he found a
sentry on guard, and sentry challenged him in the usual way, "Who
comes there?" and the response was, very quick, "Me;" "Who is me?"
"I bin John P. Schmidt. I bin John Schmidt of de Band." He belonged
to the Ringgold Band, and I suppose if we got that off on poor John
once, it was done a thousand times when they came out on parade.
We are very proud of the part Reading took in the war of the Re-
bellion, especially proud of the part it took with the 88th Pennsylvania
in which we two served, and it was a great regiment, one of the great
regiments of the war. Comrade Gllligan, who sits in front of us here
can testify to that. I wish I had time enough to start off and tell you
more about it.
Chairman Sample's talk about the rather particular invitation given
by the Mayor of Denver reminded me of the time of my coming home
from the three months' service. I was quite ill, and I did't like things
at all; I had written home that when I came back there must be no
kissing in the street; that I would not stand for it at all. We marched

down Washington Avenue and were welcomed home, and one of the
young ladies of our city was going to throw her arms around my neck.
I said, "Hold on, Em, it's not your turn;" there was a number one
girl that was to occupy that position, but I didn't want it done on
Washington avenue, it was too public. I suppose I was ill and feeling
bad, or 1 wouldn't have acted as I did; I haven't done it since.
How I have ejijoyed these thirty-five years' attendance on the Na-
tional Encampments, Comrade Sample has told you. I expect to leave
soon to spend nearly two months in Europe, but I am coming back in
time to go to Denver provided our Commander Blackmar don't put a
veto on it
Commander-in-Chief Blackmar: We want you to be sure and.be
there.
Past Department Commander-in-Chief Beath: Now I fear I am taking
too much of your precious time and keeping back other speakers that
/you all want to hear, but I want to say a word for the great work
that has been done by the ladies' associations connected with the Grand
Army of the Republic, the Woman's Relief Corps and the Ladies of
the G. A. R. They have been very great helpers in all our work, and
we look to them to carry on our work after we have passed away. We
want these great associations to be maintained and carry on the pa-
triotic work that we in the past forty years have been endeavoring to
instil into the hearts and minds of the people of this great country.
(Applause.)
• The Chairman: How did you like that joke, about his not permitting
the girls to throw their arms around his neck on Washington
Avenue? I want to say to the ladies of the Relief Corps and Ladies of
the G. A. R. that they can array themselves on Penn street to-morrow
as he starts out on the parade, and as he marches along, each one can
kiss him if she wishes to. The difference between him and me was, 1
had a girl that swore eternal fealty to me — she don't know what she
has lost — but I will tell you that after I had been away some four or
five months, I got a letter from my sister in which she said that this
girl had gone ofC and married a handsomer man, notwithstanding that
she had sworn to marry me. Now what do you think of that. I had
my revenge, for the poor fellow that married her, had her to live with,
and tried to raise a family of fourteen children. (Laughter.)
We are going to have a few words now from a Comrade who in forty-
eight hours from now will lay down the gavel of authority and step
back into the ranks of the faded flowers, one of whom I am which; I
have the pleasure now of presenting to you the Department Com-
mander of Pennsylvania, Comrade McNevin, of Post No. 62, Altoona.
Department Commander McNevin: Mr. Chairman, Comrades and
friends, after hearing the eloquent addresses of the distinguished
Comrades who have preceded me, and in view of the fact that there are
others equally eloquent to follow me, I consider it rather presumptions
on my part to say anything, and fear that I cannot say anything that

will interest you, and as Comrade Sample has stated, in the course of a
few days, I will step down in the ranks and become a faded flower. He
knows very well that during the next few days, I will have troubles
of my own in trying to preside over this Elxcampment that will con-
vene to-morrow. I want to save what little bit of voice I have for
that purpose, therefore I trust the Comrades and friends will excuse
me from attempting to make any further remarks.
When I pass out of the office of Department Commander and become
what is called "a faded flower," I hope I shall follow in the footsteps of
the other Past Department Commanders present, who, if they are
faded flowers, are all doing their utmost to continue and maintain the
principles on which the Grand Army of the Republic is founded. (Ap-
plause.)
The Chairman: Now we have heard from the cavalry and we have
heard from the Infantry — rather aged Infantry, some of us, like Com-
rade Wagner and Eeath, and we have been reading in the papers re-
cently of what can be done on the water; Togo has simply wiped up
the water with the other fellow — I can't pronounce that name (Rojest-
vensky), and I am not going to try, because I am afraid my false
teeth might fall out, but there has been from the standpoint of the
"doughboy," the fellow that carried the gun, from his standpoint it
looks as though the entire naval warfare has been revolutionized;
they do their fighting underneath the water now; no navy for me, if
you please; no, I want to be out where I can get a good chance to run
if the occasion presents itself. Comrade Charles Lawrence of Post 1,
who served in the navy during the war for the suppression of the Re-
bellion is present with us and I want to present him to you in a moment,
but before he gets up I want to tell you a Uttle story about the navy.
One of our gunboats went up the James River on one occasion, and
they ran out of their regular ammunition, so they flred everything
they could get hold of, pieces of railroad iron, and anything that came
along, and flnally they flred an iron kettle, and as It was sailing through
the air, there was an old darkey saw it coming, and he looked up and
he batted his eye, and he turned around and he said: "Fore God, there
comes a cask of ale." (Laughter and applause.)
I now have the pleasure of presenting to you. Comrade Charles Law-
rence, of Post 1, Philadelphia, who will talk to you about the navy.
You know the navy did things, too; the war of the Rebellion was not
all fought by the army.
Comrade Lawrence: Mr. Chairman, Comrades and ladies and gen-
tlemen, I appreciate the honor of having the opportunity of saying a few
words to you after all the eloquence you have heard to-night As a
navy man, we appreciate all the honors bestowed upon the army. I
have often thought when the grand old veterans walk along the street
and the people show their great respect for them, that there must be
some reason for it, and the question is, what have they done to endear
themselves to the hearts of the American people, and the answer is
Digitized by

GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 69
they saved the nation. They did something; they sacrificed some-
thing; they were willing to sacrifice their lives that this great country
Df ours might live. Our country has been termed a nation without a
history; let us consider that a moment. But little more than four
centuries ago, the civilized world did not know that such a land as this
existed. Other nations had been in existence for thousands of years.
I have seen buildings in Europe that were erected hundreds of years
before America was discovered, and they are in existence yet. Look
back only 125 years ago when our forefathers struggled for freedom
and independence in this country, and to-day what a great country have
you got? Look at it. Only a hundred years ago, thirteen struggling
little colonies with a population of not more than three millions rose
and had the courage of their convictions to fight and to leave you
this great country that the veterans saved for you from *61 to '65.
(Applause.)
Only a hundred years ago it was the weakest nation and the poorest
on earth; to-day it stands the strongest anywhere, the greatest in in-
dustrial pursuits and the most progressive on God's earth. (Applause.)
Isn't that a history to be proud of? and that is what these veterans did
from '61 to '65 that makes it possible that this country shall have such
a history. That is why I glory in the army, and it a pleasure to me to
recognize what they did.
I have been spoken of as being in the navy. I thank God that I had
the opportunity to serve my country in that position. I was with that
greatest of all admirals, David Glasgow Farragut, on the Mississippi
River. (Great applause). I feel thankful that whenever the navy was
called upon, no matter for what duty, they always responded, whether it
was to fight forts, mines, batteries or fire ships, they were always there
and always ready. The great Lincoln once said that wherever the dew
fell heavy enough to wet the grass, there our naval vessels were found
doing efficient service. Theodore Roosevelt said, in accepting the
nomination for the Presidency a short time ago, that, "The men who
fought from '61 to '65 for Union and liberty, not only saved this nation
from ruin, but bestowed a blessing on all mankind," and the people of
the United States can see to-day that this is but the fact, so I say we
have a history that we may well be proud of and be thankful for.
You need not look to ancient history for deeds of heroism. You need
not study what the Spartans or the Romans, or the Greeks did; you
need not read of the charge at Balaklava for deeds of heroism. You
can find them at home, right here in your own State. No European
army ever lost fifty per cent, of those engaged in one single engage-
ment while there were sixty-three regiments in the Union army that
lost more than fifty per cent., and there were twenty-three regiments
that lost more than any regiment in any European war had ever lost,
and there were 122 regiments that lost as many men as were lost at
Balaklava. The men in the Union army were brave, and so were the
men in the navy.

70 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
When the Civil War broke out —
Past Department Commander Wagner: There you go again, the
"civil war!"
Comrade Lawrence: Well, when the Rebellion broke out. There were
but three vessels available here, not more than three hundred seamen
in all the receiving ships along the coast. A blockade was declared
extending for two thousand miles, and had that blockade not been
maintained, there were other nations that were ready to step In and
anxious to furnish ammunition and ship munitions of war into the
country, and had it not been for our navy preventing that, the war
possibly would have gone on until now, and had the navy done noth-
ing else, their service to the country would have been incalculable, but
they did more. On the Mississippi river they cut the Confederacy in
twain. They proved there, that with wooden ships, manned by men
with iron hearts, we could pass any fort in existence. I have seen men
many times on the bloody and slippery decks fighting forts, gunboats
and fire ships. I have seen those men within a stone's throw of these,
with death and destruction staring them in the face, and notwithstand-
ing the dreadful roar of the guns and the shrieking of ti^e shot and
shell, not a man quailed. Every man did his duty like an American.
(Applause.)
These are the kind of men of which 1 speak; these were the kind of
men in addition to the army, that saved this great country of yours,
from '61 to '65, and can such men ever be forgotten? No! Their names
will live as long as the stars shine in Heaven and as long as the sun
lights the earth. (Applause). The men that brought that flag out
triumphant without a star being obliterated, and not a blemish on it
anywhere, pure and sacred as it came, an honor to you, an honor to
them, and an honor to the country, cannot be forgotten.
Our nation is a great nation. No accident of birth can put a man on
the throne here. Every one has an opportunity. It can be truthfully
said here, "Honor and fame from no condition rise. Act well your part;
there all the honor lies."
The mighty ocean is composed of little drops of water which the
constant play of the winds disturb and bring from the bottom to the
top. The rays of the sun make them scintillate like diamonds for the
time being until they give place to other drops, and so with our nation.
A man may be on the bottom to-day and on the top to-morrow.
What more humble occupation than that of a canal driver, a rail
splitter, a tanner, a tailor, a farmer, yet men occupying these humble
positions have been elevated to the highest office in the gift of the
nation and made presidents of the United States. What an incentive to
laudable ambition! What a great land! What a great country! God
bless it evermore. (Great applause.)
The Chairman: When I started out to run this show, I told you we
had the greatest aggregation of orators to be found anywhere, and I
think you will all agree with me now. If you try to get in some time

to-morrow, when the business of the Encampmc^nt is going on, you
will be more convinced of it than ever.
Now then in this great State you know there was a command con-
gregated and enlisted amounting to about fifteen thousand men, ever
since the close of the war, known as the ^'Pennsylvania Reserves," I
have been introduced and introduced to them. Now we have here to-
night another of those Pennsylvania Reserves. I think I have shaken
hands with about nineteen thousand of them; there were only fifteen
thousand of them in the first place — ^we have a representative of that
famous command here to-night, and I call upon Past Department Com-
mander Levi McCauley, to speak for that organization.
Past Department Commander McCauley, of West Chester, Pa.: Mr.
Chairman, Comrades, ladies and gentlemen, the Pennsylvania Reserves
da not need to have any apologies made for them; they were a unique
organization, and did their duty with as little fuss as any organization
placed in the field from this Commonwealth. Many of them were from
this county — some part of this county.
It is not necessary for me to say very much to the audience. I
rather admire your patience during all this display of eloquence.
You had an opportunity by the way to see one of the orphans from
the Soldiers' Orphans' School. I have the honor— the distinguished
honor to be on that commission; at times there has been some adverse
criticism upon its management. I here to-night, as a member of that
commission, invite you one and all to visit these schools and see for
yourselves what we are doing for these children of our deceased Com-
rades, and I might say that all these Comrades, Wagner, Beath, Stewart,
Morrison, Sample, and all the men that have been connected with this
system at one time or another, stand by the system, and will stand
by it as long as there is a single orphan to educate and bring up pro-
perly. Eighteen thousand of these children have been educated, and
many of them have done great credit to the schools. We have made
them stenographers, tailors, electrical engineers, that is of the boys,
and we have educated and made good, honest mothers of the girls. We
have not heard of more than ten or twelve of these children who have
ever been haled before a court of quarter sessions for crime.
As I have said, they have gone out into the world to take their places
there and are a credit to this old Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Why,
ladies and gentlemen, some of these boys have really gotten into the
Legislature and really they do their work well.
Some years ago four boys that were at the school at Jumonville in
Fayette county, returned and called upon their old preceptor. Dr.
Watts; I am credlly and truthfully informed that one of those boys was
several times a millionaire and not one of them but whose checks would
be honored for $25,000 in the town where he visited. Those are ex-
treme examples, but we feel proud of them, just as we feel proud of
beiUo here to-night, for, to my mind, the people of Reading believe
in the city of Reading and have made it what it is by effort and energy;

therefore, I say to my Comrades, stand up for your town and your
county and State, your Prehkknt, your God, and the flag. (Applause.)
The Chairman: Just wait a moment and we will let you all go home.
I understand that this amber stufC that they have here in Reading is a
little stronger than it is in any other part of the State; a little of it
wouldn't hurt you. I would like to drink about two kegs of it myself,
but I want to say to the people of Reading, we are more than gratified
with our reception, and with the beautiful decorations, and illumina-
tion you have taken pains to prepare, and for the interest generally
which you have shown in our behalf.
Now gentlemen of the Ringgold Band, if ever you played in your
life, let us hear you go now for all you are worth.
The Ringgold Band then closed the campflre with the beautiful
strains of Auld Lang Syne, as the audience passed out.
THE PARADE.
G. A. R. PARADE. A GREAT SPECTACLE ON CITY'S LEADING
THOROUGHFARE.
Nearly 3,000 Men in Line, Besides the Bands — ^War Veterans who
Marched with Youthful Spirit, but whose Steps Show the
Effects of Age — Organizations Participate from all
Over Eastern Pennsylvania.
[From the Rtading EagU^ Wedaesdaj, June 7.)
The annual parade of the Grand Army of the Republic, Department
of Pennsylvania, this morning, was a splendid spectacle. It was made
up of many of the survivors of the Rebellion and other organizations,
and was a great object lesson to the present generation. Between 2,500
and 3,000 men and a dozen bands were in line, while scores of flags
waved in the breeze.
An Immense throng of people witnessed the great spectacle. Penn
street was alive with humanity.
When Abraham Lincoln called for soldiers during the early part of
1861 these were the boys who responded. They were then in the bloom
of youth and came from the store, shop and farm.
That was 45 years ago. Great changes have occurred during the in-
terval. Thousands who marched with Grant, Sheridan, Sherman and
other great generals, and who participated in the bloodiest battles of
the great Civil War, have gone to the great beyond.

GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 73
But a remnant of the great armies of the Rebellion remains, and it
was in evidence in Reading to-day. These men came from all parts of
the State. Their step was steady, but age was depicted on almost every
countenance.
The boys of '61 are no longer classed among the youth. They have
the spirit, but that same elestic step so familiar when commanded to
charge the enemy is lacking.
The demonstration was one of the most imposing ever seen in this
city. Everybody was happy. As the veterans swept along the great
thoroughfare, with their battle flags and other emblems flying, they were
greeted with vociferous applause.
As each Post passed the reviewing stand the men raised their caps
and hats and saluted. The view from the windows of the big stores
along Penn street was magnificent, and thousands of the youth of
Reading were witnesses to a sight that will linger long in their memo-
ries.
With some of the old soldiers marched tots attired in military suits.
They were probably their great-grandchildren, who have inherited the
spirit from those who led them.
One little fellow, probably six years of age, wore a blue suit and leg-
gins and carried a gun at right shoulder shift. Others carried flags and
all seemed gleeful.
GOOD MARCHING WEATHER.
The hard rain of the early morning made the prospects gloomy for a
parade. The elements ceased falling around 8 o'clock and occasionally
the clouds broke, emitting sunlight. But while it did not rain during
the demonstration the sky hung heavy with clouds. The state of the
weather, while not of the sunshiny, balmy kind that the old soldiers like
for their annual parades, tempered the scorching heat of the past sev-
eral days. It was good marching weather and did not detract in the
least from the success of the affair.
So that the weather might become more settled and to give posts ar-
riving late an opportunity to get into line, the start of the demonstra-
tion was 25 minutes after 9, the time set for the movement of the regi-
ments of old soldiers, their offspring, wearing the uniform of the Sons
of Veterans, and other organizations. Most of the visiting posts were
here by 9 o'clock, but marched about Penn square before proceeding to
the points of formation. The music and the flags, which floated proudly
in the stiff breeze, had an exhilerating effect on the gathering spectators,
who were dubious as to whether a procession would be held.
LARGE TURNOUT A SURPRISE.
The large turnout of paraders was a general surprise. The Committee
of Arrangements hardly expected more than 2,000 in line. The weather
indications reduced this estimate. That probably 3,000 veterans. State

Guardsmen, Sons of Veterans and musicians turned out was very
gratifying to the committee.
Immense throngs of people, possibly 15,000, were assembled along
Reading's main thoroughfare, eagerly awaiting the head of the proces-
sion that is a big event annually to the survivors of the Rebellion. The
police preser\ed admirable order. Penn street was roped off and the
mounted policemen — Stechler, H. Y. Miller, Kissinger, Mayer, Bowman,
Machamer, M. Nicklas, Sloat and Smith — ^was an Innovation here. The
crowds had proper respect for them and kept to the sidewalks. A
number of the regular policemen and the 50 supernumeraries gave ex-
cellent service.
HEAD OF THE PARADE.
Heading the procession were 16 policemen, with Third Sergt. Klee in
command. They stepped with military precision, all abreast.
Next came the Ringgold Band, 40 men, with Monroe. A. Althouse,
wielding a baton, to the fore. The musicians, in their blue suits, with
black braid, were eight abreast, the trombonists in the first row. Its
music was superb.
Following were Chief Marshal Milton A., Gherst, of Post 42, and his
aides, Fred. M. Yeager, Jeremiah Seider, Wm. Dougherty, Matthias
Moyer, F. S. Jacobs, Edward W. Alexander, Henry S. Babb, Robert
McLean, Frank L. DeGour, Philip Bissinger and J. B. Potteiger, either
in the uniform of the G. A. R. or the Sons of Veterans. They were on
foot.
Of the military organizations, Cos. A. and I, Fourth Regiment, N. G.
P., had the right of way. Captain Allen, of Co. A, which had pre-
cedence, had out 42 men and Co. I, Captain Koser, 38 men. They were
in fatigue uniform, with rifles slung over their shoulders. Their dril-
ling was a great feature and their marching was faultless.
Next came the barouches with prominent G. A. R. men in State and
Nation and local oflacials and veterans occupying them. In the first,
drawn by two white horses, were General William W. Blackmar, head
of the Grand Army of the Republic of the United States; General Louis
Wagner, General Robert B. Beath and Lemon Buch, chairman of the
Committee of Arrangements. In the second, also pulled by a pair of
whites, were General Thomas J. Stewart, Major George Brown and
Mayor Gerber. General J. P. S. Gobln was assigned to It, but did not
appear. In the third, drawn by blacks, were General Gregg, and Past
Department Commanders of Penn'a, George L. Brown and Thos. G. Sam-
ple. These guests, especially Gen. Blackmar, attracted general atten-
tion.
SONS OF VETERANS.
Meade Camp, No. 16, Sons of Veterans, and Its two companies, D. and
E. were given a conspicuous place in the line, following the carriages.
The marshal was William T. Monyer, and aides, Edwin Epstein, N. E.
Deem, Andrew Schwelmler and Captain B. F. Hollenbach, Twenty mem-

bers of the Cadet Band followed, to the strains of which marched 75
members of the camp in uniform and citizens clothes, and 50 members
of Co. D, and that many of E, in charge of Captains Haines and Eisen-
bise, respectively. They carried their guns and marched and drilled in
great style. Visitors from Minersville and Pottsville, to the number of
50, were in these ranks, and behind Co. E was Co. C. S. of V., of Lebanon,
16 men, in full uniform.
Succeeding the young "Vets" was McClean Post, No. 16, G. A. R.,
and never before did the members turn out in public in such strong
numbers. First came the marshal. Senior Vice Commander Samuel
Davis, as marshal, he taking the place of Commander Eisenhower, who
is indisposed and was in the reviewing stand. Mahlon Shaaber, one of
the tallest Civil War veterans in the country, was his aide. Twenty-
five members of the Cadet Band were followed by the flag-bearers, Wil-
liam Winn and Joseph Black. Thirty men were in the Post Guard, with
Thomas Sassaman as captain. Following were row after row of McLean
members in civic clothing. It was an immense turnout, possibly 250.
Francis Yocum was color-bearer, and Mr. Sassaman captain. Their ap-
pearance, and the fact that among them were a number of First De-
fenders, provoked general hearty cheering. A feature that took thoughts
back to the bloody Rebellion were the flags they carried, now in tatters.
Department Commander John McNevin, of Altoona, and staff; past
department commanders and the delegates to the convention, more than
500 in all being in this division, were next in line. A magnificent de-
partment flag — red silk with the country's flag and the G. A. R. badge
beautifully worked on its folds, was held by George L. Baker, of Wayne.
This was one of the largest divisions of the line. There were few that
didn't wear at least three badges. One carried an immense bouquet tied
with white satin ribbons.
U. V. L. MAKES GOOD SHOWING.
Union Veteran Legion, of Reading, 60 strong, was next in order,
with Albert Flannagan, commanding. They made a good showing.
The above-mentioned bodies had formed on Penn street, right resting
on Third, the visiting Posts, which were assigned to south Third, right
resting on Penn, swung into line.
At their head was the pioneer post of the Commonwealth, Gen. Geo.
B. Meade, No. 1, of Philadelphia, 35 of whose members, some gray-
headed and others white-bearded, marched behind their commander,
Samuel G. Diehl. Owen Jones carried a beautiful white flag, the Penn'a
Reserve headquarters' colors, representing the Fifth Corps, connected
with the Amy of the Potomac. Ellis Post, No. 6, of Germantown, had
a delegation.
Captain Walter S. Newhall Post, No. 7, of Philadelphia, had 50 mem-
bers in line and a Post Guard of 16 members. Hugh McGrogan was
commander. The Newhall Band, 15 pieces, furnished its music.

mander.
John W. Jackson Post, No. 27, Philadelphia, 20 men.
There were fully a score more of Posts represented, but they marched
with other Posts which had bands. They included colored delegations
from Philadelphia, Columbia and other places.
Bringing up the rear of the procession was Keim Post, No. 76, of
Reading, with the 46th Regiment Band, 25 pieces, of Reading, furnishing
the music. This Post did well, mustang fully 150 men. James Gal-
lagher was the commander.
THE ROUTE.
The route was up Penn to BYanklin, to Perkiomen avenue and coun-
termarch down Penn.
At sixth and Penn the Ringgold Band stopped in front of the- review-
ing stand and played a lively air. The parade halted and the carriages
proceeded to the reviewing stand where General Blackmar and the rest
ascended to the stand. They were given an ovation by the crowd. The
band marched back to the head of the parade and to a patriotic tune
led the soldiers past the reviewing stand. Hats were doffed and the
reviewing party was deeply impressed with the appearance, marching
and general deportment of the men. The procession went out Fifth to
Walnut, to Sixth and thence to the Academy of Music, where it dis-
missed.
Especially on Penn square, whidi was clear of all save the marchers
and officers, did the pageant make an imposing picture. It thrilled the
great masses of onlookers and caused their hearts to swell with pride
as they gazed on the hundreds of "boys in blue" and flags and listened
to the martial music. It was a sight that has not been seen in Read-
ing in many years. The a^ed veterans, in the suits of blue, which they
regard with almost reverence, were in their element, and to them it
was one of the geat days of the year. The affair was splendidly man-
aged. There wasn't a hitch and the spectacle goes down into the his-
tory of the State Departments as one of its most memorable demonstra-
tions.

The Department Chaplain, Comrade John W. Sayers, made the open-
ing prayer in the following words: "Almighty God, our Heavenly
Father, we pray that Thou wouldst teach us how to pray and how to
come into Thy presence this morning. Our hearts are filled with
gratitude and praise to "Thee for the unnumbered mercies and bless-
ings that have come to us, as this morning we gather in this hall and
in this place and think of Thy love to us since we met in an Encamp-
ment here twenty-five years ago. How many of our Comrades are
spared to gather with us; where shall we find words adequate to ex-
press our gratitude and praise to Thee.

"Now, Lord, we pray that Thy blessing may also rest upon the
families of our Comrades this morning who are sleeping the sleep of
death, who have been mustered out, and as they think of this encamp-
ment to-day, and as they read of it and the memories of their fathers
come to them, and their hearts are sad, do Thou, O God, comfort them.
Do Thou bless those of our Comrades who are sick, wounded or in
sorrow; who would like to be with us and who. are with us in spirit
this morning although absent in body. Help us who are privileged to
be here, and may we so walk before Thee that we may bring honor
to Thy name and to Thy cause.
"We pray that Thou wouldst bless us in all our deliberations; grant
that whatever is done here will redound to Thy glory and the good
of our organization. We thank Thee for what Thou hast done for us.
We pray that Thy blessing may continue to rest upon us. Bless we
pray Thee all the officers of all the encampments, and those who are
our leaders. O Lord God, bless them. O may they have wisdom
from on high, and grant that all we do may be of such a character as to
be acceptable to Thee.
"May Thy blessing rest upon our land and nation and upon the Presi-
dent of the United States and those associated with him in counsel
and in administration, upon the Mayor of this city and all his friends
who have given us such a cordial welcome.
"Almighty God, we pray Thee to guide us all by Thine unerring
counsel and hear us when we pray, 'Our Father who art in Heaven,
hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth
as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us
our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us
not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the king-
dom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen."
Department Commander: The Assistant Adjutant General will now
call the roll of officers and representatives of the Department.
The Assistant Adjutant General: Commander, I move you that the
call of the roll of Past Department Commanders and the representa-
tives be dispensed with inasmuch as each member has a printed copy
of the roll.
Motion seconded by several comrades and agreed to.

134 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
The Assistant Adjutant General presented the report of the Committee
on Credentials which was read to the Encampment as follows:
Reading, June 7th, 1905.
John McNevin, Department Commander:
Sir and Comrade: The Committee on Credentials most respectfully
submit the following report of the number of representatives present:
Department Officers, 11
Council of AoministraUon, 5
Past Department Officers, 16
Post Commanders and Representatives, 658

The Department Commander: The report will be placed on file. The
next business in order is the reading of the reports of the officers of the
Dep-^rtment.
The Department Commander then read his address as follows:

Address of the Department Commander.
Comrades: We, who while Uncle Sam's boys some forty years ago
shared together the perils of a great war, and who have since been
spared by a merciful Providence to meet again as veterans at our
Thirty-ninth Annual Encampement in this beautiful and hospitable
city owe a debt of gratitude to the Great Commander, which we here
acknowledge, for the blessings of health, happiness and prosperity to
us as individuals, and for His guiding care for our beloved country.
In closing the term bf office to which I was elected a year ago, I wish
to return thanks to comrades throughout the State who have helped
to lighten my labors, and who have made my official duties pleasant
and agreeable. No veteran can be more highly honored than to be
chosen as your Department Commander, and, although I may not have
measured up to the highest standard of efficiency, I fully appreciate
the great trust reposed in me and have tried earnestly to uphold the
principles and to promote the best interests of the Department. With
this introduction and in observance of the usual custom I shall give a
brief review of the work of the Department during the year.
MEMBERSHIP.
The report of the Assistant Adjutant General will show a slight de-
crease in membership. Although some careless comrades have allowed
themselves to be dropped from the rolls on account of their own de-
linquencies, the greatest decrease was occasioned by death, a cause
which will be more marked as the years go by, as one by one our com-
rades are taken away, the younger generations will regard the sur-
vivors with increased gratitude, respect and esteem, a thought which
should induce every comrade to keep in good standing on the rolls.
FINANCE.
The report of the Assistant Quartermaster General will show that the
finances of the Department are in an excellent condition. There have
been some unusual expenses this year, among which, may be men-
tioned the payment for the Stephenson Memorial, the painting and
papering of Headquarters room, and the changes in heating. This last
item, however, is expected to result in a future saving of our fuel bills.

136 a9TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
VISITATIONS.
During the year I have attended many Post meetings. Reunions,
County Grand Army Gatherings and Camp Fires in every part of the
State, nearly always accompanied by Assistant Adjutant General Suy-
dam and Past Department Commander Sample. On these visitations I
have traveled over ten thousand miles. Everywhere I was" received
with the most generous hospitality and true comradeship, and I found
in all localities the same spirit of loyal devotion to our organization.
Indeed, with a diminishing membership, which is to be expected and
cannot be avoided, the feeling of pride in and affection for the princi-
ples of Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty is steadily growing in the hearts
of our Comrades.
SONS OF VETERANS.
This organization should receive the support of every comrade in the
Department. The Sons of Veterans will be our successors, not to
perpetuate the Grand Army of the Republic, but to have an organiza-
tion of their own for carrying out the principles of our order. Eveipr
Post in the Department should have a Camp as an auxiliary. Posts
of small membership stand in special need of such support, for in some
localities the Camps of Sons of Veterans not only provide rooms for
the Posts, but also defray all other expenses. This fact alone should
convince us that they are in earnest and deserve our recognition.
WOMEN'S RELIEF CORPS.
The Pennsylvania Memorial Home at Brookville, Jefferson County,
is under the control of the Women's Relief Corps. The aged veteran
and wife are admitted and cared for until death parts them. If the
husband survives he is required by the rules of the Home to make ap-
plication for admission to a Soldier's Home. I made an official visit to
this Home and found the buildings well adapted for the purpose, the
surroundings pleasant and homelike, the inmates contented and all
their wants provided for. The comrades of the Grand Army of the
Republic appreciate the good work done by these noble women, who
are laboring so earnestly for the welfare of the aged people in their
charge.
LADIES OF THE G. A. R.
The Home of the Ladies of the G. A. R. ia located at Hawkins Sta-
tion on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The mother, widow, sister or
daughter of the veteran is admitted and cared for during life. On a
recent visit I was pleased to find it so pleasantly situated and well ar-
ranged for the comfort of the occupants. No complaints were heard
and this fact speaks well for those in charge. The managi&rs are to

be congratulated for their efforts in erecting and maintaining this
splendid home for the dependent ones of our deceased comrades.
The Home at Sixty-fifth and Vine streets, Philadelphia, is managed
by the local members of the same organization. The veteran and his
wife are here admitted and made comfortable. This Home is well
built and thoroughly equipped for the purpose intended, and the com-
pletion of the third story will afford accommodations for many who
cannot now be provided for.
The Board of Managers deserve credit for the manner in which the
affairs of the Home are conducted, and the best thanks of our comrades
are hereby tendered them.
All of these Homes should be granted larger appropriations by our
State, so as to enable them to improve their buildings and enlarge the
charitable work in which they are engaged.
PENNSYLVANIA SOLDIERS' AND SAILORS' HOME.
This Home is located at Erie, Pa., and is under the management of
eleven trustees, five of whom are to be comrades of the Grand Army
of the Republic. It becomes the duty of the Department Commander
each alternate year to appoint the comrades on this board. The term
of the trustees expired in January last, and, believing that the m^age-
ment of the Home was entirely satisfactory to the comrades of the
Department, I reappoint Past Commanders-in-Chief Louis Wagner, R.
B. Beath and Thos. J. Stewart, Past Department Commander H. H.
Cummings and Comrade John P. Nicholson, of Post No. 19.
The Home at Erie is a place where any soldier or sailor residing in
Pennsylvania who is incapacitated from labor, can comfortably pass his
declining years. I visited the Home recently and found everything pro-
vided for the comfort, convenience and entertainment of the soldiers
and sailors who are making their home there. The restraints pro-
vided by the rules and regulations are mild, notwithstanding 'which,
the discipline in the Home is perfect.
THE SOLDIERS' ORPHANS' SCHOOLS.
In accordance with the Act of Assembly creating a Commission for
the management of the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools, five which shall be
comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic and appointed by the
Department Commander, on January 18th last, I recommended to the
Governor for reappointment Past Department Commanders Thos. G.
Sample, James F. Morrison and Levi G. McCauley, Comrades Richard
H. Holgate, Post No. 30 and Thad M. Mahon, Post No. 309, and they
were promptly confirmed. I made no change in the members appointed
heretofore, as I was satisfied that by the careful and intelligent man-
ner in which they had discharged the duties devolving upon them, and
Digitized by

138 39TH ANNUAL. ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
the splendid progress made in the schools during their administration
they were justly entitled to reappointment. There are three Soldiers'
Orphans' Schools in the State; at Scotland, Franklin county, Chester
bprings, Chester county, and Jumonville, Fayette county. The schol-
ars at Jumonville and Chester Springs Schools remain till 14 years of
age and are then transferred to the Scotland Industrial School, re-
maining there until 16 years of age or 18 years of age (this being op-
tional). During that time in addition to other studies the boys are
given an insight to mechanical trades. I visited all of these schools
and found them as reported by our Department Commanders, model
institutions. Much credit is due to the Comrades of the Grand Army
of the Republic for the interest manifested in their welfare and to the
State (^t Pennsylvania for maintaining them.
BOSTON.
The Thirty-eighth Annual Encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic was held at Boston, Mass., during the week of August 15,
1904. The Department of Pennsylvania can feel proud of the comrades
who attended. Their soldierly appearance and splendid marching
won for them the applause of. all who witnessed the grand parade. It
affords me pleasure to report that a number of Past Department Com-
manders were present, and with the representatives elected were prompt
in their attendance at the sessions of the Encampment.
MEMORIAL DAY.
I take the liberty of repeating what has been said by my predecessor,
that Memorial Day should not be observed as a holiday, but as a
holy day, the growing practice of making it a day of sports and pleas-
ures should be discouraged as much as possible. From reports received,
the services incident to Memorial Day were properly observed in every
community throughout the Department. The custom of holding ser-
vices in memory of our departed comrades, and of strewing their
graves with flowers should be perpetuated as long as the memory of
their heroic deeds remain with the great Nation they helped to save.
DEPARTMENT OFFICERS.
Senior Vice Department Commander H. R. Brenneman, and Junior
Vice Department Commander James L. Vose, have been active and
energetic in the discharge of their respective duties. Comrade Brenne-
man represented me at Sunbury when it was impossible for me to be
present, and my thanks are due to him.
Assistant Adjutant General Charles A. Suydam, is to be congratu-
lated on the careful and eflacient manner in which he has discharged
his duties. Devoting his entire time to the affairs of the ofllce is a
sufficient guarantee that any information requested will be furnished

promptly. He accompanied me on many of my visits, and I am in-
debted to him for visits he made in parts of the State, which I could
not possibly make.
Assistant Quartermaster General John L. Grim, has faithfully per-
formed the duties of his office with honor to himself and for the best
interests of the Department. He also accompanied me on some of my
visits and his able and eloquent addresses were greatly appreciated by
all who had the pleasure of hearing them.
Department Inspector Alexander F. Nicholas is another Comrade who
devotes a considerable portion of his time to the work of the Depart-
ment, and he also accompanied me on some of my visitations. His re-
port is prepared with great care and is commendable. It contains valu-
able information and should be examined by the comrades.
Judge Advocate D. J. Horner. The legal questions for his decision
this year were but few in number which is very gratifying and is con-
clusive that the comrades in the Posts are working in harmony.
Chief Mustering Officer Charles O. Smith has performed the duties,
of his office in a creditable manner and has made it one to be respected.
The interest manifested by him in endeavoring to increase the mem-
bership of the Sons of Veterans, is worthy of our commendation and it
is hoped that good results will follow.
Medical Director Dr. Alfred M. Smith, is a kind physician, a splendid
comrade and one who takes great interest in the welfare of his com-
rades. He is doing noble work for the Grand Army of the Republic
in his own and adjoining counties.
Department Chaplain John W. Sayers, has served so long and faith-
fully in his office, that he is known to all the comrades throughout the
Department. No word of mine can add to his splendid record as a
Minister of the Gospel, or to the magnificient work he is doing for
his comrades, and we sincerely hope that so long as the Department
of Pennsylvania shall exist he will be our Chaplin.
Chief of Staff John A. Hindman. In making this appointment it
way my desire to reward a comrade for the excellent work done by
him in Post No. 62. The manner in which he has discharged the
duties satisfies me that he appreciates the honor.
Comrades Charles Rodebaugh, H. T. Stanwood, Philip H. Fratz, Wil-
liam H. Green and Jonas H. Dettre, members of the Council of Admin-
istration, have performed their duties in an able and business-like
way, having been punctual in attendance and exceedingly careful in the
management of the funds of the Department. Their detailed report of
the receipts and expenditures should be examined by the comrades.
They are entitled to our thanks.
John N. Reber, Clerk at Department Headquarters, by the careful
manner in which he has attended to his duties and the courteous treat-
ment accorded visitors has endeared himself to all.

THANKS.
To the Department officers I am under many obligations for their
loyalty and faithfulness in the discharge of every duty imposed upon
them. They, as well as the Aids-de-Camp throughout the Department
have done everything possible to make my administration successful.
My thanks are specially due to Past Commanders-in-Chief Louis Wag-
ner, R. B. Beath and Thos. J. Stewart for kind counsel and advice, to
Past Department Commanders Thos. G. Sample and Edwin Walton for
their courtesy and substantial assistance. Comrade Sample accom-
panied me in my visitations, frequently responding to my call when
hardly able physically to make the journey. It was only his indomita-
ble will and untiring love for the Grand Army that made it possible
for him to attend some of the reunions and camp fires. The mere an-
nouncement that Comrade Sample would address the comrades was
sufficient to insure a large and enthusiastic audience. They were
always amply repaid by the eloquent manner in which he entertained
them. His services to the Department can never be adequately repaid
by his comrades.
Conclusion.
Comrades: I am soon to retire from the responsible position of De-
partment Commander, to which I was chosen a year ago, to make way
for my successor. No honor that can ever come to me will be so en-
during; none can be so much appreciated. To have served as Comman-
der of the great Department of Pennsylvania is not unworthy the am-
bition of the most distinguished comrade, and to have served with such
measure of success as to merit your respect and approbation is all I
can hope for. I again thank every comrade.

required. At most times, these have been of the most gratifying na-
ture, in the ofllcial gatherings of comrades, cheered by the grand spirit
of fraternity, brightening in its influence, as the order grows in inter-
est with age.
The peculiar social warmth of soldierly greeting, the memories in-
voked, mellow as the falling season noted each year, on every side,
in the garnering of the ripened fruits of our toils and sufferings, which
closed in the field two score years ago.
That so many of us, in the days of this new century, meet to give
free course, to the kindly fraternity, born of those days of trial in the
heroic past, is gratifying to us as survivers, and inspires a just pride in
the fact, trat we contributed largely to the history which the genera-
tions to come will cherish, and whose lessons are graven by us on its
most stirring pages forever.
We haVe set the pace in our services for the later soldiers of the Re-
public, which they will ever strive to emulate in standard, as the duty
our country expects of them. While pleasant greetings, valued asso-
ciations, and cordial good feeling form the spirit of our martial assem-
blies, there are times when the strongest demands of duty hold us to
the tasks official life presents, as the graver features of a soldier's lot,
that set aside all others, and call for the rugged qualities that* bring
results through sacrifice.
That the teachings of our order and the training of our lives have
set stern duty above all choice, as times demand, have largely made
us the strong characters that stand peculiarly, as types of the soldier
of the Sixties. That our citizens have heartily acknowledged these
features, in times of impending stress in public affairs, as they tum-
toward the veterans for loyal strength and counsel, is a tribute to the
manhood which those days of struggle have developed in the fibre of
our natures, virtues recognized whenever manly duty, in any emer-
gency, must be undoubted, in leading public opinion.
I do not raise too high the standard for the veteran, always modest
in his claims to credit among his fellows. I state the facts as observed
in our relations toward the body of our people, whose traditions are not
our own and who cherish more strongly, as days go by, the memories,
the grand results for humanity, of a service, that taught us first, un-
selfish devotion and fortitude in all affairs, which has set us apart for
Honor among all men. As V,his regard is realized in full by ourselves,
perhaps somewhat slowly, does its influence not strengthen our resolu-
tion, to live up to the grand character, in which our countrymen have
set our deserving; to jealously regard our reputation, as a class unique
in this Republic, as citizen soldiers who have achieved distinction
among those of every age, who have kept the faith and been found
worthy.
Among the bright days of summer visits passed, that of the Grand

Army Association, comprising the Posts of Philadelphia and vicinity,
August 10, at Willow Grove Park, was one of especial interest, in its
magnitude and fine features of entertainment.
An outing for the comrades and their families, attended in large num-
bers and enlivened by the presence of all Past National and Department
Officers within reach, with full dress parade and review, rare music and
campfire exercises in the grand pavilion of the park, attractive enough
to hold the assembly through the storm and thunder peals of a summer
night, until a late hour and the special car service to the city, left
an impression of arrangement and plan worth going far to realize.
Visits to Posts at inspection, installation of officers and entertain-
ment have been made, as far as opportunity offered and all efforts
given toward the good of our organization.
The reunion of the Central G. A. R. Association of Pennsylvania
at Lancaster, in October last, was in numbers and spirit, the most suc-
cessful in its history. The officers and past officers of the Department
were largely in attendance, including reception, parade, dedication
of a new soldiers' lot in Greenwood, purcnased by the county commis-
sioners, afternoon and evening campfires, it contributed much toward
the interests of the Association and the Department, and was signi-
ficant. in its public influence.
Representing the Department at a flag presentation to Rest No. 355
at Sunbury, by the Women's Relief Corps, in December last, followed
by a reception, held at the court house, the President, Mrs. Estelle Hall
of the Women's Relief Corps of Pennsylvania, being present and taking
part, accompanied by comrades from Wilkes-Barre, the fine social care
of the comrades remains a kindly recollection and the spirit of the
affair is warmly recognized.
On January 6, of this year I installed the officers of Post 84, Lan-
caster, and have given my best offices to their local work, acting as
chairman of the Memorial Day Committee, in preparation for the ex-
ercises of May 30.
In pursuance of this work, our committees made personal visits to
the public and parochial schools of Lancaster, addressing them on the
history of the war and securing their aid in the Patriotic duty of
gathering flowers and placing on the graves of soldiers in our ceme-
teries.
This has been, in marked degree, popular and is anticipated yearly
by the schools with much pleasure and cordial co-operation. We are
implanting patriotic feeling in the youthful citizens of the future,
which is growing into flourishing public sentiment, which we trust
will bear fruit in reverent observance of Memorial Ceremonies, long
after the veterans, who now conduct the children in their work, have
been gathered to their rest, their marshalling assemblies of springtime
remain only as fragrant memories of blue clad comrades, fatherly at-
tentions to the boys and girls and flowers, that bloom and sweeten

life breathe, with each perfume, a new lesson of undying patriotism and
reverent regard to perserve what the past has achieved for future ages,
to our beloved country.
As mingled pride and tender sentiment is cultivated, in leading the
young in a work whose doing is looked for as a keen joy, their hearts
can be trusted to hold the seed now sown, to bloom in cherished cus-
tom in days to come, to guard the memory of the vanished host in
blue, that saved our grand Republic.
A late success in the work of the Department may be referred to,
for the personal graitfication it brings, in a very ordinary line.
A local Post of colored comrades, after some years existence, had
fallen into decay, and virtually had no organization, the matter of at-
tempting to infuse new life into the Post was referred to me by the
Department Commander. After many weeks of persistent effort the
comrades were gotten together, and I have the pleasure of announcing
there is every indication that the Post will take on a new lease of life,
it is their intention to ask for a change of location, which in my judg-
ment "vnll be for the best interests of the membersaip.
Approaching the close of our term, I heartily acknowledge the kind
and cordial consideration, which has marked all official intercourse
in the Department and extend to the Administration my congratula-
tions in success and bear to the comrades under its command my best
wishes for the success of the work in the coming year, in whose ap-
proved results we all may share in satisfaction and draw closer the
bonds of our fellowship.
Respectfully submitted,
H. R. BRENEMAN,
Senior Vice Department Commander.

Charles A. Suydam, Assistant Adjutant General:
My Dear Comrade: I take pleasure in forwarding to you my report

ferred by my election to this honorable position.

144 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
While the duties of Junior Vice Commander are not very exacting,
I fully appreciate the fact that one in this position has an influence
that should be used to further the grand objects of our Association.
And I can say that I have, so far as I have opportunity, used my in-
fluence for the good of the order. While owing to unavoidable cir-
cumstances I have been unable to attend all calls that I have received
from comrades, I take this opportunity of giving them my thanks
for the many courtesies extended to me.
I have visited a number of neighboring Posts and have assisted at
the installation of oflicers of some of them, and I flnd the interest in
my district to be unabated.
In my visits to the Posts I have urged public installations, as I
think this is a great help, bringing us more in touch with each other
and creating- an interest in the order.
I have also urged a more general observance of Memorial Day, real-
izing that each succeeding year means more graves of comrades to
strew with flowers and fewer comrades to strew them. And we should
try to impress upon the minds of the coming generation the fact that
they will have to take up the work when we lay it down.
Again I desire to extend my sincere thanks to all the officers and
comrades of the Department of Pennsylvania Grand Army of the Re-
public for the kindness shown during my term of office and I assure
them their memories will long be cherished.
I am fraternally yours,
JAMES L. VOSE.
Junior Vice Department Commander.

146 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DBPT. OF PBNNA.,
The following Posts have surrendered their charters during the year:

During the year the calls to camp fires, anniversaries, reunions,
etc., have been of a numerous character, and I have responded as
often as possible, finding the same genial companionship everywhere
that has characterized these gatherings in past years; in my opinion
there is nothing that keeps up the interest more than these annual
outings, it has been a matter of sincerce regret that on many occa-
sions (owing to ill health) I was not able to. join my comrades when
expected.
I regret that it is again my duty to call attention to the delin-
quency of Post Commanders, in neglecting to forward the semi-annual
reports when due, necessitating the writing of several letters calling
attention to their carelessness, which causes delay in forwarding the
reports to National Headquarters that is certainly vexatious.
The room occupied as an oflSce for these headquarters, had become
so dingy in appearance for the want of paint and paper, that the Coun-
cil of Administration thought it advisable that the same be placed in
shape to present a good appearance, and with your approval this was
done, and as a result we now have a headquarters, neat and cleanly in
appearance of which we have no reasons to apologize as had formerly
been the case.
The Department still continues to hold its record for discipline and
eflaciency, in all that pertains to the welfare of the comrades. We can-
not expect to increase our membership to any great extent, other than
from the dropped or suspended list, as those that have remainded out-
side the ranks all these years, cannot be prevailed upon to unite with
us except in a few instances, death of comrades make vacancies that
cannot be filled, as this loss is coming to us with great frequency, our
ranks are necessarily being depleted beyond the point that can be
covered by any increase in membership.
On February 1st last I wrote to L. P. Farmer, Commissioner of the
*'Trunk Line Association," requesting that he would furnish the '*rate
of fare from points in Pennsylvania, to the Encampment to be held
at Reading in June next," on February 15, I was advised that the rate
would be "fare and one-third." I then took up the matter twice after-
ward with the Commissioner, respectfully asking that the Association
reopen the question with a view to according a rate of "one fare," but
the answer in both cases was that "they deem it inexpedient to make
any further concession than fare and one-third".
Attention is called to the fact that, at the sessions of the Department
Encampment comrades present resolutions calling for action at the
coming National Encampment of measures relating to pensions, etc.,

some of which were pending in the Congress of the United States. The
committee to whom such resolutions are referred refer them to the
Encampment with the recommendation that the comrades so interested
should furnish copies of said bill, or bills to the Representatives elect,
for their information, this they neglect to do, and as a result the mat-
ter cannot be intelligently acted upon when the Representatives meet
for deliberation.
Appended hereto is Exhibit A, giving the gains and losses from De-
cember 31, 1903. to December 31, 1904, also Exhibit B, giving the num-
ber of Posts, together with the membership at the close of each year
from 1867 to 1904, both years inclusive.
I take this opportunity to express my appreciation of the honor you
conferred upon me one year ago, by selecting me as Assistant Adjutant
General, I leave to you to say if I have come up to your expectations
in the discharge of the duty incumbent upon me. I have endeavored to
be prompt, courteous and fair in the performance of my line of duty,
and so far as my best thought and effort could suggest to advance the
interests of the Department
At this the close of our very pleasant official relations, I desire to
express the wish that we may both be preserved to many years of life,
and a continuance of these pleasant personal associations.
To my associates of the Staff, and the many comrades of the Depart-
ment whose fraternal kindness has done so much to lighten the work
in which I have been engaged, my most sincere thanks are due and
hereby extended.
Fraternally yours,
CHARLES A. SUYDAM,
Assistant Adjutant General.

GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 155
Report of the Assistant Quartermaster General.
Headquarters Department of Pennsylvania,
Grand Army of the Republic,
S. W. Cor. 5tli & Chestnut Sts.,
Philadelphia, May 18, 1905.
Charles A. Suydam, Assistant Adjutant General:
Comrade: I have the honor to submit this, my second annual report
from May 14, 1904, to May 12, 1905. You will note that my last report
of May 12, 1904, the balance was $11,379.01 and my present report is
$11,551.12 showing an increase of $172.11 over my last report. This is
especially gratifying from the fact we have gone to some extra ex-
pense in the way of repairs and improvements to the Headquarter
rooms, and made a donation of $250.00 to the "Stevenson Monument,"
and changed the system of steam heating which will make a saving of
two hundred dollars a year on coal.
In accordance with the approval of the Department Encampment
last year under my suggestion in last report, a committee comprising
Assistant Adjutant General Suydam and myself, by direction of the
Council of Administration, were directed to invest ten thousand dol-
lars of our balance on hand in bonds in U. S. or bonds of the city
of Philadelphia. After a thorough search, we recommended, and were
directed by the Council of Administration to purchase city of Philadel-
phia bonds as follows:
Number 44, loan of 1893, $5,000 00
Number 52, loan of 1893, 2,000 00
Number 53, loan of 1893, 2.000 00
Number 583, loan of 1898, 1,000 00
The first three bonds are series J and the last series E. They all
expire and fall due in 1912 and pay three per cent, clear. While the
face value is $10,000, we were able to purchase, the bonds complete for
$9,812.50, saving $187.50 in the purchase, and increasing our revenue
$100.00 a year in interest and $23.43 a year increase in value. The
bonds are now in a box in the vault of the Finance Company of Phila-
delphia, and it can only be opened in the presence of two of the fol-
lowing: the Assistant Adjutant General, the Assistant Quartermaster
General and the chairman of the Council of Administration.
I can with pleasure report we have to-day in city bonds, par value,
$10,000.00; balance in Third National Bank, Philadelphia, May 12,
11,788.62.

156 39THj ANNUAL ENCAMPMEJNT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
U gives me great pleaure to commend Adjutant General Suydam, In-
spector Alexander Nicholas and the members of the Council of Ad-
ministration for their prompt attendance at all meetings during the
year. It is our pride that almost without exception, as the minutes
will show, each one answered the roll call, and their whole purpose
was to carefully guard the treasury and serve with fidelity in the office
you intrusted to their charge. All the other officers were so far away
that we did not look for their attendance.
I have visited in conjunction with the Commander, Assistant Ad-
jutant General Suydam, the Inspector and other members of the Staff,
thirty-four Posts in the city and State, four reunions of regiments, five
reunions of combined Posts, two erections of monuments, four Sons
of Veterans Camps and one reunion Sons of Veterans, forty-three re-
ligious meetings of veterans and their wives, and to the best of my
ability, I have tried to speak a word of encouragement at each meeting.
I have also spoken to five gatherings of school children and at three
flag raisings. I also spoke at the State Encampment of Delaware. To
all these I have tried to hold aloft the old stars and stripes, what they
cost and what they mean.
In closing my term as A. Q. M. General, I wish to return my thanks
to the Commander, yourself, his Staff, the Council of Administration
and the comrades in general for their endearing and fraternal com-
radeship, and while it has taken time and expense and often late hours
at night, all without cost to the Department, I can only say that noth-
ing less than my duty to God has been a great pleasure, and will be
held in memory's sunshine until the reassembling across the river of
time and eternity.
Appended hereto are abstracts I to VII, showing in detail the busi-
ness of my office during the fiscal year.
Yours in F. C. & L.,
JOHN L. GRIM,
Assistant Quartermaster General.

consideration) will show that the same interest is being taken to ad-
vance the interests of the Grand Army as ever before, quite a large
number of the Posts have increased their membership, not only in hav-
ing suspended members renew their allegience, but in many instances
securing comrades who have never been members of our order. Quite
a number of Posts have recruiting committees who are always at
work, atnd they deserve great credit for the able manner in which
they have performed their duties.
Inspection night, as usual, is the banner night of the year in re-
spect to attendance, many comrades travelling eight and ten miles to
be present One report of an Assistant Inspector which shows the in-
terest manifested, reported every member of the Post present but one,
and that comrade was eighty-three years of age and at home sick.
Surely we should be greatly pleased at this time of life to see the in-
terest still being retained by our comrades.
Too much praise cannot be given to the Assistant Inspectors at Large
and the Assistant Inspectors for their very valuable assistance at all
times in making this report so complete.
To Department Commander John McNevin I return my sincere thanks
for the honor conferred in selecting me as a member of his Staft, and
to yourself personally I extend my thanks for valuable assistance and
many courtesies shown during the year.
Fraternally yours,
ALEXANDER F. NICHOLAS,
Department Inspector.

196 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
Report of Judgre Advocate.
Department of Pennsylvania,
Grand Army of the Republic,
Office of Judge Advocate,
Somerset, May 3, 1905.
Charles A. Suydam, Assistant Adjutant General:
Comrade: I have the honor to submit my report for the year now
about to end, my duties have not been of an arduous character, not be-
ing called upon for a single decision, this in itself is a cause for con-
gratulation evincing as it does, the fraternal comradeship and intelli
gent comprehension of the laws of our organization, that enables the
solution of questions, without the aid of the Judge Advocate.
To me personally the year has been one of great pleasure, I have
attended many camp fires, county and regimental reunions, at which
the renewal of old acquaintances and the forming of new ones, has
strengthened ties that I trust may not soon be broken. May the peace
and harmony that pervades the Department continue to the end.
Appreciating thie honor conferred by the appointment that came to
me, and thanking the Department Commander for the same alsc* to
you and my associates of the Staff, for many courtesies extended I am
Yours in F. C. & L.,

GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 197
Report of Hedieal Director.
Department of Pennsylvania,
Grand Army of the Republic,
Office of the Medical Director,
Beaver Springs, May 20, 1905.
Charles A. Suydam, Assistant Adjutant General:
Comrade: The office of Medical Director having by action of Na-
tional Encampment, been made one of honor only, and no report be-
ing expected of that officer, yet I deem it but just that I should say a
word or two to the Department of Pennsylvania.
During the year now closing I have kept in touch with my comrades
in this locality particularly, having attended many gatherings of the
Grand Army, and did what I could to encourage my comrades, to ad-
vance and strengthen the Department.
I have attended many comrades in sickness, and in no case has a
bill for services been presented, the fact that I have been able to re-
lieve them in their distress was sufficient compensation.
In this connection I desire to say that I will be in attendance at the
coming Department Encampment, to be held at Reading, should any
of the Comrades be so unfortunate as to be taken with illness, I will
readily respond to any calls that may be made upon me, at the Man-
sion House.
Thanking the Department Commander for the honor that came to
me by this appointment, to yourself for courtesies received, and my
comrades throughout the Department for their many fraternal greet-
ings, I remain.
Yours in F. C. & L,
ALFRED M. SMITH, M. D.,
Medical Director.

198 39TH ANNUAL. ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
Report of Department Chaplain.
Department of Pennsylvania,
Grand Army of the Republic,
Office of the Chaplain,
Chester, May 27, 1905.
Charles A. Suydam, Assistant Adjutant General:
Comrade: I have the honor to submit my thirty-third annual report
as Chaplain of the Department of Pennsylvania.
My duties, during the year, have called me with increasing fre-
quency to the house of mourning, when the last roll has been answered
by some comrade to whom death had given his final discharge. I have
visited many of the sick; have preached funeral sermons at the ob-
sequies of many and paid the last tribute of respect to many who fol
lowed the flag, between 1861 and 1865 but who have gone over to the
other shore.
As it has been my duty, so has it been my pleasure, to attend many
camp fires and reunions; my church duties alone prevented me from
a more extended participation in the gatherings of the comrades. On
Memorial Day, a year ago, I had the pleasure and honor of delivering
the address for General R. L. Bodine Post, No. 306, at Doylestown. The
reports from Post Chaplains during the year showed that, in the De-
partment of Pennsylvania, the attendance at religious services on the
Sabbath preceding Memorial Day was universal and that great inter-
est was manifested everywhere over that feature of our sacred services.
These reports show too that in the twelve months, 1,005 comrades have
been mustered out by death; some of them have been prominent at
our Encampments for years — ^we have now only their memories. We
miss their faces to-day; each year the number of the missing increases —
our ranks are rapidly thinning; but few years will elapse before the
book will be closed and the Grand Army of the Republic, made of the
brave and true men who followed the fiag of their country, from 1861
to 1865, shall live only in history. But what a glorious history it is;
an untarnished fiag, a reunited country, recognized as a world power
by all nations of the earth; this recognition and this power made possi-
ble by the valor and sacrifies of the men composing our great organi-
zation; men who represented the manhood, integrity and patriotism of
the American people. In the ranks of the great armies of America
and among the men who trod the decks of ships of war of our gallant

Navy were thousands of men who since the day of Appomattox, have
graced every position in civil life; men who have achieved the highest
honors in the fields of literature and science; men who have wisely
controlled railroad, banking and other great corporations, men whose
learning has honored the judicial ermine and whose eloquence has
charmed the multitudes, men whose statemanship has shaped the
policy and controlled the destinies of our country. All honor to
America's volunteer soldier and sailor.
I want to acknowledge my indebtedness to Department Commander
McNevin and yourself for many courtesies extended me and to thank
the Post Chaplains who have so faithfully performed their duties in
making their reports, and to all my comrades my sincere appreciation
and thanks go out for the splendid fraternity and magnificent evidences
of comradeship that have come to me, from them, during all these
years.
Yours in Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty,

200 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
Report of Chief Husteringr OflBeer.
Department of Pennsylvania,
Grand Army of the R^ublic,
Office of Chief Mustering Officer,
Pittsburg, Pa., May 8, 1905.
Charles A. Suydam, Assistant Adjutant General:
Comrade: In submitting my report for the current year, I beg leave to
say that I have kept no record of my work and, tfierefore will not at-
tempt to make a detailed report.
It has been my pleasure, during the year, as a member of the Staff
of the Department Commander, and occsasionally as his personal rep-
resentative, to attend numerous regimental reunions and Grand Army
functions, such as camp fires, banquets. Post Memorials, inspections,
installations, and G. A. R. Association meetings.
I accompanied the Commander on his visit to the Memorial Home
at Brookville and the Ladies of the G. A. R. Home at Hawkins. I also
visited the Soldiers' Home at Erie, and was present at the National
encampment in Boston.
I have visited many G. A. R. Posts and Camps of the Sons of Veterans,
everywhere receiving courteous treatment, and shown true comradship
— that comradship which with each succeeding year — as our ranks
grow thinner, our hair grayer, and our eyes dimmer, brings us closer
together and becomes more sacred. Naturally all work in the Grand
Army at this time carries with it a tinge of sadness — yet there is much
to cheer and make glad the hearts of the comrades.
The duties of my office have been light and the opportunities I
have had to see and mingle with my comrades have afforded me the
greatest pleasure. My thanks are due and heartily given, to Com-
mander McNevin for my appointment and his many kindnesses; to
my brother members of his Staff for their good comradeship, and to you
personally for favors and assistance rendered..
Yours fraternally,
CHARLES O. SMITH,
Chief Mustering Officer.

attention was given to al Imatters presented, for the details, of which
attention is called to the minutes of the Council, and the disburse-
ments as reported by the Assistant Quartermaster General.
The rooms occupied at Headquarters for the transaction of the busi-
ness of the Department have been neatly painted and papered which
was badly needed after the many years of occupancy, the rooms oc-
cupied for purposes of the Board of Trustees of the Soldiers' and Sai-
lors' Home, and the Soldiers' Orphan Commission, are now in the
process of renovation, after this is completed we believe that the opin-
ion will be expressed that this ought to have been attended to long
ago.
In accordance with the action of the Thirty-eighth Department En-
campment, two hundred and fifty dollars ($260.00) was voted by the
Council to the "Stephenson Memorial Fund" this amount with the
cost of painting and papering Headquarters, $91.65, were extraordinary
expenses, were it not for that fact the receipts over expenses would
have been $513.16.
The rules that have been in existence for a number of years relative
to the conducting of the business of the Council were adhered to, and
we recommend to our successors a continuance of this mode for the
transaction of the business for which the Council is elected.

The Department Commander: It is hoped that the Comrades named
on the respective committees will attend to their duties promptly,
in order to expedite the work of the encampment.
Past Dpartment Commander Sample: Commander, there are pro-
bably more members in the Encampment now than there will be either
immediately following the noon hour, or just before we adjourn, and
I move you, sir, that all those who desire to nominate candidates for
the National Encampment will write the name. upon a card and place it
in the box in order that they may be placed in the hands of the printer
immediately following the adjournment.
I make this motion at this hour for the reason that there has been
more or less complaint in regard to the matter of the names of dele-
gates, and the vote not being known before the adjournment. We are
all here now, and every man that desires to nominate a Comrade, can do
so, and also the members of the Council of Administration, as that is
another ticket that has to be printed this afternoon.
The Department Commander appointed Asst. Quartermaster Gen-
eral Grim to take up the cards nominating Comrades as delegates to
the National Encampment for one aisle, and Chief Mustering Officer
Charles O. Smith for the other aisle.
Past Department Commander Wagner: Department Commander, those
of us who were present at the campfire last night are aware of the
fact that the Commander-in-Chief is with us in Reading. He has
honored the encampment with an official visit this morning, and I have
great pleasure in presenting him to you.
As the Commander-in-Chief stepped forward upon the platform, he
was duly saluted at the command of the Department Commander.
The Department Commander: Our Commander-in-Chief needs no
introduction at my hands. Those who heard him last night were
greatly pleased, and we welcome him to our Encampment.
Commander-in-Chief Blackmar: Department Comftiander and my
dear old Comrades of Pennsylvania, representing as you do all the

228 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
Comrades of this magnificent Department, I am pleased to greet you.
I know how busy you are; I know what a close contest is on for the next
Department Commander, and I do not propose to detain you with a
long speech, for I want to retain, as I believe I hold, your love; it is
a sacred thing to hold the love of our Comrades of the War of the
Rebellion in this great organization, the finest organization in the
world. (Applause.)
If 1 ever had any doubt of this statement, it has been borne in upon
me during the last few months as I have traveled all over this great
country of ours. The men who established the Grand Army of the
Republic wisely chose that the organization should die with us. There
is no way to recruit it. We are going down the western slope together,
my Comrades, and after us it will be only a memory. I used to doubt
the wisdom of having it die with us, but it has come upon me with the
greatest possible force that it is best that it should be the most unique
organization ever known, dying with the men who, upon the battle-
fields of the Republic earned the right to be among its members.
I bring to you the greeting of the 250,000 still living and active in our
ranks throughout this country, and I know without a vote from you,
that I may assume the right to bear your greetings to our Comrades
to-morrow in Ohio, and on then to Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, New
York — all the great Departments I shall visit within the next few weeks.
1 v/ill bear your greetings, your loving greetings to these men, our
Comrades, in the other Departments.
I am impressed beyond measure, and I would not speak longer if it
were not that I feel it my duty as well as^my pleasure to express to you
how I am rejoicing and have been rejoiced by the magnificent recep-
tion we have received here in this beautiful city of Reading.
Comrades, you are doing God's work, because you are doing the
work of your country in this being an object lesson to the citizens in
this beautiful city, and all the surrounding country that stood six to
ten deep on the sidewalk as we passed by to-day. The public schools
adjourned; the children were there to meet and greet you; the shops and
stores were shut up; it was the greatest possible object lesson that
could possibly be given to the citizens of this community, as they saw
the old veterans pass by, and to have the children asked and have it
answered, why are they thus organized? Why are they thus received?
Why is this honor paid them? They will remember it as they never
would remember what they read in books, so that I say you are doing
great work in inculcating the lessons of patriotism among the children,
the little plastic minds, the pure, white souls, are the garden spots
upon which we and our allied organizations must work and plant the
seed that it may bear that splendid fruit of patriotism in years to
come.
My Comrades^ it is a perfect delight to meet with you here, and more
than that, I jcan truly say that in almost every Department that I hdve
had the honor to visit, I have met with a splendid reception; there have

been some of the greatest turnouts away out in the West, away out in
Ogden, Utah, where the children were gathered under their teachers and
filled a great, big park, and each one had a flag. That was something
delightful to see and to remember. One of the little children asked,
"What* does this mean? What is the Grand Army?" His father
looked up to our faces, and positively blushed that his child, eight or
ten years of age, should have to ask such a question. It showed that he
hadn't taught him as he should, and it was perfectly apparent that
that little boy will never have to ask that question again, and with
thousands and thousands of children, the lessons that we are teaching
them as we go along, will last forever and forever, and we may be sure
that the generation to whom we are going to bequeath thlfe magnificent
Republic, that we have kept united, kept one, the children will look to
it that it is kept one; that it is kept above question; that it is in every
possible way worthy of the men who saved it from destruction and
kept it from annihilation during the great struggle between '61 and '65.
My Comrades, it is a great honor, as my honored predecessors will
assure you, to hold this position of Commander-in-Chief. We are re-
ceived everywhere with the greatest respect, with the greatest
love, with the greatest interest, and although it is a very hard billet,
and we have to work mighty hard during the year we hold it, earning
our salary many times over, still we are glad to do it, and being in the
work, we are glad to continue it, for the reward is great, is mighty.
I left a sick bed only a few weeks ago and started on this great trip.
I had really been very ill; I had worked so hard on the office matters
that I was sick, and lying there very ill, but I was determined to start,
and I did so, accompanied by Past Commander-in-Chief Wagner and
Beath and the ubiquitous Suydam. We started in at the little city of
Wilmington, Delaware, and I began to get better and better. Now why
do I mention this? I mention it because when I get an opportunity to
get hold of my doctor I am going to ask him why in the name of
Heaven he kept me in bed so long, when he should have had me up
and dressed and going out to greet the men that rode with me and rode
side by side with me, that everywhere have greeted me with love and
respect, and I say and think that has made we well and strong again.
I thank you for this reception, for this opportunity to be with you
at your Department Encampment. I bid you God-speed and wish you
every possible success, and my Comrades, the last word I will say to you
is, hold up your organization; if you feel sometimes that you are not
appreciated, remember who you are; the Comrades of Lincoln, of Grant,
of Sherman and of Sheridan; remember that you stand among the
mighty men of the world, the protectors and saviours of a nation.
Past Department Commander Wagner: Department Commander and
Comrades, three years ago the National Encampment appointed a com-
mittee to collect funds for the erection of the Stephenson monument
as a Grand Army Memorial in the city of Washington. The committee
Digitized by

230 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMEINT, DEPT. OP PENNA.,
has designated for the occupancy of this memorial a grand plot just
across from Pennsylvania Avenue, a magnificent location, and we have
been endeavoring for the past three years to secure sufficient funds for
the erection of this memorial. You will be interested to know that the
largest contribution from any of the Departments has come from Penn-
sylvania. The first year we received from twenty-four Posts $194.15
and from ten individuals |100. The second year we received from
fifty-two Posts 1589.25 and during the past year I will give you the con-
tributions received in detail. You will see that out of the 520 Posts in
this Department, we have received contributions from only eighty-two
Posts and from individual members we have received contributions
from fourteen.
Now there should be, notwithstanding the fact that the contributions
from our Department have been larger than from any other Department,
there should be a record f ron> every Post, no matter how small the sum,
in connection with the list of Posts contributing for this purpose.
The Grand Army is passing away but this memorial which is to -
cost $20,000 will remain forever as a reminder and remembrance after
we have departed this life. The suggestion was that if each member of
the Grand Army would contribute ten cents, there would be sufficient
funds to pi^oduce the sum needed for the work.
You can readily see that eighty-two Posts have contributed less than
$700 and I am sure that those of us representing Posts in this Encamp-
ment to-day, ought to go home and I trust we will go home to see that
if our particular Post has already contributed, that the contribution
will he repeated, or if it has not yet made a contribution, the contribu-
tion will be promptly sent to me as treasurer. We have in actual
cash some $10,000. The contributions received during the past year,
were from Post 28, $10.00; Post 80, $10.25; Post 100, $15.00; Post 117,
$1.10; Post 151, $5.40; Post 378, $5.65; totaling the sum of $47.40 re-
ceived from Posts of this Department during the past year. From in-
dividuals we have received the following contributions: Robert B. Beath,
$25.00; H. H. Cumings, $50; Comrade Burchfield, $100.00; Louis Wag-
ner, $100.00; Past Department Commander Miller, $1,000.00. (Applause.)
Now can't I say to every comrade present, go thou and do likewise.
If you can't give a thousand, you can give a smaller sum, but I tell you,
Comrades, we ought to feel a personal pride in being represented upon
the roll of men and of Posts who will make this memorial possible,
and I trust that our committee will hear promptly from individuals
either in their own name or representing their Posts, the amount they
will contribute towards this laudable and proper object.
Past Department Commander Miller: There is no time like the pres-
ent time; the best way to take up a collection is when you have the
people present. I want to say to Comrade Wagner that we don't want
to be selfish, because this is a matter that every Comrade should be
permitted to have the pleasure of contributing something for the fund,
tnerefore I want to say as representing Post 220, we will contribute if

you will let us, twenty-five cents each instead of ten; we are a little
selfish out there, and we would like to have your permission to make
it twenty-five cents for each member.
Past Department Commander Wagner: You have 500 members I
believe; that would give us $125.00.
Past Department Commander Miller: Well, we will make it 50 cents
then for each member.
Post Commander John W. Frazier, Post 18, Philadelphia: There is
a little Post called No. 18. You may put it down for $10.
Past Department Commander Wagner: We have received one other
thousand dollars from a Comrade in Massachusetts, the Commander-in-
Chief, Comrade Blackmar. Now who else will follow the good example.
The Post Commander of Post 26, Schuylkill Haven: Post 26 will pledge
20 cents from each member; Comrade Owen Jones pledged one dollar;
Comrade Craighead Post No. 18, $5.00; Post 31, West Chester, 25 cents
a member, 175 members; Past Commander William H. Green, of Post

each member; Post 101, $5.00; Post 103, $5.00; Post 484, $5.00; Post 21,
pledged $10.00; Post 3 of Pittsburg, 10 cents for each member; Depart-
ment Chaplain John W. Sayers, $5.00; Past Department Commander

The Department Commander: The next thing in order is nomination
of qfficers for the ensuing year.
Comrade K J. Ayers of Post No. 68, Towanda: Department Com-
mander and Comrades, I rise to nominate for the important office of
Department Commander for this great Department, Comrade J. Andrew
Wilt of Post 68, Towanda. (Applause.) I do this, Comrades, most
cheerfully, because I have been acquainted with him nearly forty years.
He enlisted in the service of his country in his teens in the 18th
Pennsylvania Cavalry, and followed through the service until mustered
out at the close of the war, and still in his teens. He is a Comrade who
is known as the working man in our Post; he has been Commander
several times and been Adjutant for the past twenty years. I want to
say to you. Comrades, if you elect him to this important office, you
will make no mistake. (Applause.)
Past Department Commander Vanderslice: Department Commander
and Comrades, it has been suggested to me that I should say a word.
Twenty-nine years ago when I was made Assistant Adjutant Greneral of
this Department, Comrade Wilt was the Judge Advocate. During the
six years that I served as Assistant Adjutant General, such was his at-
tention to the interests of the Grand Army, and such his standing and
influence in his community, that twenty-three years ago when I was
elected Department Commander, I appointed him my Judge Advo-
cate, and during that year and in all the years that have elapsed since
then there has been no more devoted and worthy Comrade than (Com-
rade Andrew Wilt. It is therefore with great pleasure that I rise to
second his nomination. (Applause.)
Comrade John T. Howe of Post 139, Scranton, Pa.: Department Com-
mander and Comrades, I am here to-day to perform one of the most
pleasant duties that I have ever been called upon to perform in the
Grand Army of the Republic, and that is, to place in nomination the
name of a particular friend of mine, a man whom I have known for
the last forty odd years, who has grown gray in the service of the Grand
Army of the Republic, a man who went out in the 203d Pennsylvania
Volunteers, and has been the Commander of Griffin Post No. 139 of
Scranton for the last seven years without opposition.
' The man whom I place in nomination to-day, is Comrade A. B.
Stevens, of the city of Scranton. There is no man in whom the good
citizens of old Lackawanna have had more confidence than in him. He
has been once Marshal of his county, another time elected sheriff, and
he took care that none of the Grand Army boys were left to pine be-
hind the bars while he was in that office. There is no one who can lay
a finger upon anything that Comrade A. B. Stevens has ever done in
that locality that does not become an honest man and a good soldier.
I know that there are just as good Grand Army men before me to-day;
I have nothing to urge against Comrade Wilt; nobody thinks more of

him than I do, but we think and claim that we have got a better man
even than Wilt. We tie ourselves fast to that.
I want to say to you also, that no difference what the result may be,
you will find that the members of Post 139 will be right in line, and
we will wish you God-speed and stand by you as we always have.
The Department Commander: Comrade Wilt and Comrade Stevens
have been placed in nomination for Department Commander. Are
tnere any others?
Comrade DeLacey of Post 139: Now my Commander and Comrades I
desire to say a word in behalf of my Commander and Comrade; know-
ing this Comrade so well for so many years, knowing the attitude that
the other Comrades in this Department have taken in the discharge of
the duties of Grand Army men, think about it for a moment, what a
grand body of men is assembled here to-day. We can't very well make
any difference, any Comrade in my mind that has the record that en-
titles him to a position in this grand body of American soldiers or ex-
soldiers, he certainly is entitled to be the Commander if his comrades
see fit to nominate and elect him.
Now we of North-eastern Pennsylvania, of the city of Scranton, we
feel as though our great commercial industries and interests and those
patriotic people should be recognized. We don't feel that we are asking
too much from you. I ask you Comrades, to treat us, the Comrades of
the city of Scranton, fairly. We don't claim that our Comrade excels
the Comrade whose name has already been presented in any particular
way, but we ask you in behalf of the Comrade whose name we present
and request you, if you cannot support us, to permit us to go down in
honorable defeat by standing by our guns, as the men on the Cumber-
land stood by their guns and fired their last shot with their decks
Darely above water.
We have a Post to-day of 417 members; we have lost 21 members
since last Memorial Day. We sent out instructors to deliver lectures to
over 20,000 children; we have over forty schools in Scranton, and we
also visited surrounding towns and we did this all under the command
of A. B. Stevens, the Commander of Post 139. We have been giving
this patriotic instruction to the children of that locality, and I want
to say to you that we will continue to do it. Comrades, I thank you.
(Applause.)
Comrade , of Madison Cooper Post No, 445 Bradford
county: Department Commander and Comrades, I have listened with
a great deal of enthusiasm to the compliments paid by the members
wno have presented the names here for Department Commander for
the ensuing year, and I can truthfully say that I believe they have not
overstated the case in any particular.
Judging from the looks of the m^n who represent the Grand Army
here to-day, those men have spoken the truth, but I want to say to you
that all that has been said of Comrade Stevens of Scranton, is equally

true of Comrade Wilt, of Towanda. By day and by night, early and
late through all the years of his life, he has worked unselfishly for the
building up of the Grand Army of Pennsylvania and of Bradford county
in particular. We up in Bradford county are agriculturists. We dig
our living from the soil, and want to say to you that the old
Comrades spread out in those farms over the hills, all over our county,
are passing away, and they are looking forward to the time when they '
shall be represented in their declining days by a Department Com-
mander.
I ask you, my Comrades, in justice to a working community to a
community so far as I know which has been self-supporting, self-sus-
taining, and so far as the records show, they show that there is not a
name from that county in the Soldiers' Home. I ask you to take these
things into consideration, and give old Bradford county a Department
Commander. As to Comrade Wilt, I can add nothing to his virtues;
they speak for themselves. You who have been identified with him
for the last twenty-five years, know his character and can read it
like an open book, but we ask you in behalf of that section which sent
at least one regiment to the front, which at Gettysburg lost 78 per cent,
of the number engaged on that field, to elect Comrade Wilt. Comrade
Wilt went in there a boy and came out a boy, but he didn't forget his
patriotism. From time to time, without money and without price, he
has come here and he has gone all over Bradford county, and has
built up that institution and maintained it to its present strength and
we ask in the interest of the Grand Army of the Republic and Bradford
county in particular — we ask you to endorse his nomination and elect
him. (Applause.)
The Department Commander: Are there any other nominations? If
not, I declare the nominations for Department Commander closed.
The next business in order is, nominations for Senior Vice-Department
Commander.
Past Department Commander Vanderslice: Department Commander
and Comrades, while speeches may not be necessary in matters of this
kind, it seems to me that when you have gone to the expense of travel-
ing and attending these Department Encampments, you should know
something of the men for whom you are asked to vote.
Last night while you were enjoying the pleasures of the campfire,
there met in another hall some forty or fifty survivors of a Pennsylva-
nia regiment, and with them until midnight, sat Reading's foremost
citizen, one of Pennsylvania's foremost citizens now livmg, General D.
McM. Gregg, (Applause) the man who had organized, and disciplined
that regiment until, as he stated last night, he could take it out and
manoeuver and drill in competition with the regulars with whom he
had served before. The history of that regiment is probably known to
almost every man who served in the Army of the totomac. It was its
Digitized by
Google
236 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
peculiar destiny to have led that old army of the Potomac in every one
of its spring campaigns. That was the regiment that led the army as
it moved up the Peninsula. It was the first to lead the way across the
Chickahominy and plant its colors on the other side. It covered the
withdrawal of the army as it mcrved to Harrison's Landing. It led it
on the Antietam campaign and to the battle of Chancellorsville and
" on the second day of that engagement made its historic charge on the
Plank Road. It led the Army of the Potomac again as it moved from
Gettysburg to go back into Virginia. In '64 it led it as it crossed the
Rapidan being the first regiment to cross at Lee's Ferry. It moved
again in the advance in the Appomatox campaign, and was the regiment
that fired the last shot in that battle.
To this regiment when it was first organized in 1861, came an un-
assuming and quiet kind of a boy, a little past eighteen. His had been
a hard life; left an orphan at an early age he had known nothing but
toil in the mines and in the lumber camps. He served his first three
months' enlistment with the 11th regiment, then joining the 8th Penn-
sylvania cavalry, for that is the regiment to which I have referred, he
participated in every one of the 135 battles and skirmishes which the
records of the War Department show, that regiment participated in.
At Appomattox, after his squadron having been practically annihi-
lated because of his gallantry and valor, he was selected by his Brigade
Commander, and placed in command of the battalion that made the
last charge and captured the last rebel flag, and killed the last rebel
soldier killed in the Army of Northern Virginia.
This Comrade, Andrew J. Lee, having won the love of his Comrades
in the regiment, returned home to civil life without the advantages of
education, but such was his devotion to every duty that was imposed
upon him, that within a year after the close of the war, he had eighteen
hundred men under his control and charge. It is said of him that not-
withstanding the many important positions which he has held in civil
life, that there is not a single one of them that is not open to him
when he wishes to return to it. He has only left them because of ad-
vancement to other positions. This Comrade does not claim to be a
speaker; it was not his good fortune to be an educated man. He has
simply, by devotion to every duty which he ever faced in military or
civil life, advanced himself by his sterling qualities of manhood.
His record as a Grand Army man will stand comparison with that
of any man in this Department. For thirty-eight years he has been a
steadfast member of Post 20 of Hazleton, and has always done a great
deal to promote the interests of the three Posts near his home.
I have made these statements that you may know something of the
quality of the man for whom I ask you to vote as Senior Vice Com-
mander.
It was moved and seconded that the nominations for Senior Vice Com-
mander close. Agreed to.

The Department Commancler: The next business in order is nomina-
tions for Junior Vice Department CJommander.
CJomrade James Walker, Post 94, Philadelphia: Department Com-
mander and Comrades, I desire to place in nomination for Junior Vice
Department Commander, a comrade who served on the Council ot
Administration for the last two years, and who has been a member of
our Post for the past thirty years.
I desire therefore to place in nomination Past Commander William
H. Green for Junior Vice Department Commander.
Comrade Joseph Gould was also placed in nomination for Junior
Vice Department Commander.
Comrade Donelson, Post 27: I rise for the purpose of seconding the
nomination of Comrade Green. In seconding the nomination of Com-
rade Green, I simply want the Comrades of this Department to under-
stand that he is worthy in every respect, and I hope that this Convention
will unanimously give him their support.
It was moved and seconded that the nominations for Junior Vice
Commander close. Agreed to.
The Department Commander: The next business in order is Medical
Director — nominations are now in order for Medical Director.
Past Department Commander Taylor: Department Commander and
Comrades, I rise to place in nomination the present incumbent, Dr.
Albert M. Smith of Post 612, Beaver Springs. Dr. Smith's record for
the past two years is suflacient to warrant his continuance.
The nomination was seconded by several Comrades.
It was moved and seconded that the nomination for Medical Director
now close. Agreed to.
Department Commander: The next business in order is nominations
for Department Chaplain.
Comrade A. P. Burchfield, of Post 117, Pittsburg: I nominate Com-
rade John W. Sayers, the present incumbent.
The nomination was seconded by many Comrades.
It was Inoved and seconded that the nominations for Department
Chaplain now close. Agreed to.
Comrade A. P. Burchfield: Department Commander and Comrades,
no one has so endeared himself and impressed himself upon the Com-
rades of this Department as the man that I have named for that posi-
tion; so much so, that for the past thirty-three years he has occupied
that office and now for the thirty-fourth time we are going to elect him

again. He has so impressed himself upon us that we all love and honor
Comrade John W. Sayers as the Chaplain of this great Department.
(Applause.)
It was moved that the Chaplain be elected by acclamation.
The Department Commander: We will take up the regular order in
the order that they were nominated and we will elect the Senior Vice
Commander first, as there was no opposition to the Senior Vice Com-
mander.
Past Department Commander Stewart: I move that in all cases
where there is but one candidate, that the candidate nominated be
declared elected by acclamation.
The motion having been duly seconded, it was agreed to.
The Department Commander: I therefore declare Comrade Andrew
J. Lee duly elected Senior Vice Department Commander for the en-
suing year, Dr. Albert M. Smith duly elected Medical Director for the
ensuing year, and Chaplain John W. Sayers for the 34th term, duly
elected as Department Chaplain for the ensuing year.
Past Department Commander Sample: Department Commander and
Comrades, I want to state that the procession has been formed down
town, and I have been trying to get up here for three-quarters of an
hour. I don't know whether they are waiting on this Encampment.
While I am satisfied that very many of us could not walk out where
the monument is to be unveiled, erected in memory of President
McKinley, yet we ought not to be in session during the ceremony. We
ought to adjourn out of respect to the citizens of Reading and to the
memory of Comrade McKinley, while they are dedicating that monu-
ment, and if the Comrades will vote for the oflacers as they pass out, it
will save time and forward the business of the Encampment. Boxes
will be placed at the door in which to deposit your ballots as you pass
out.
Comrade Stevens, Post 139: Department Commander, I heard a man
to the right of me, and a member of Post 139, say that he did not un-
derstand what was said and I would like to have the motion repeated so
that we may know what it referred to.
The Department Commander made a statement in explanation in
response to the request of Comrade Stevens.
Comrade Hicks, of Altoona, presented the name of Altoona as a
candidate for the place of the next Department Encampment.
Comrade Hicks earnestly and cordially invited the encampment to
come to Altoona, assuring them of a hearty reception by the people of
that loyal mountain city. (Applause.)

to the veteran soldier and to the American people.
The Encampment adjourned to 8 o'clock P. M.

The Assistant Adjutant General: Comrades, I have here the report
of the Election Board appointed to conduct the election for Department
Commander for the ensuing year.

Comrades: The Board appointed to count the votes cast for Depart-
ment Commander, most respectfully report that^

for J. Andrew Wilt and for Asa B. Stevens 4 votes, which they have not

'will you take?

accept any of the votes except those deposited in the ballot box in

the proper way. I therefore move that that portion of the report be
received, the ballots irregularly cast be excluded in the count, and that
the report of the ballots received by the committee be adopted.
The motion having been seconded, it was agreed to.
The Department Commander: I hereby declare Comrade J. Andrew
Wilt duly elected Department Commander for the ensuing year. (Ap-
plause.)
Comrade Asa B. Stevens, Post No. 139: Commander, I rise to a ques-
tion of privilege. I want to say to the Comrades of this Department
that my being a candidate for Department Commander was unsoli-
cited and against my expressed wishes. The Comrades of my Post and
vicinity were the authors of my candidacy; I have never solicited nor
declined an office in the fraternal organization of which I am a mem-
ber. They put me forward. I was in their hands; but I want to say
that as far as the Comrade selected for the office is concerned, I do not
hold him responsible for the untruthful statements that have been made
about me in this town. I do not believe he is responsible, and I want
to say to him that there will be no more loyal supporter among the
Comrades of this Department than your humble servant. (Applause.)
The Assistant Adjutant General presented and read the report of the
committee appointed to act upon the report of the council of Admin-
istration.

Charles A. Suydam,
Assistant Adjutant General:
Comrade: Your Committee, to which was referred the report of the
Department Chaplain, have the honor to state that they have attended
to the duty assigned them, and like all the reports emanating from
Chaplain Sayers, is altogether worthy of acceptance. We warmly com-
mend Chaplain Sayers for the faithful discharge of his official duties.
In submitting this report, we desire to further say that during the
period of his incumbency of the office of Department Chaplain, our
beloved Comrade Rev. John W. Sayers, D. D., has delivered many
Memorial Day Sermons — a number of them upon the historic field of
Gettysburg, and at the earnest request of friends throughout Pennsyl-
vania and elsewhere, some of Chaplain Sayers' Memorial Day Sermons
have been published in book form, under the title of "The More Ex-
cellent Sacrifice."
Your Committee has examined that volume of Memorial Day Ser-
mons, and we commend it to the careful oonsideration of our com-
rades throughout the American Union, preserved by their valor. The
little book is an honor to Chaplain Sayers, and wherever read will ad-
vance the cause of religion, morality, patriotism, country, home and
humanity.
Throughout all its pages, the Man of Nazareth is held up as the model
for ail human creatures to follow, and the love and affection and pride
of Chaplain Sayers for the veteran soldier of 1861-65 is manifested in
every sermon..

The Committee, to which was referred the address of the Department
Commander, submit the following as their report:
We commend the briefness of the address and the able manner in •
which it was delivered to the Encampment.
The good news again conveyed to the Comrades in relation to the
able and conscientious management of the Pennsylvania Soldiers* and
Sailors' Home and the Soldiers' Orphan Schools must be most pleasing
to every Comrade, and the Department Commander deserves great
praise for the interest he has manifested in both these institutions.

Prom personal observation, the money expended in renovating the
Headquarters Room has been v^ell spent. The Comrades can now visit
a pleasant home at Fifth and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, where all
are welcome.
The attention of the Encampment is especially called to the number
of miles travelled by the Department Commander in his visitations
during the year.
We have some knowledge of the sacrifices he is required to make if he
attend# to his duties in a proper manner. Commander McNevin has
made these sacrifices in the interest of our organization willingly, cheer-
fully, and in the hope that he might do some good for the Comrades who
elevated him to his high position.
The Committee presents the following resolution:
Resolved, That the incomingr Commander be directed to appoint a committee of five
Comrades to procure and present to Department Commander McNevin a suitable testi-
monial In appreciation of his valuable services.

244 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS.
Past Department Commander Hull:
The Committee has carefully considered all resolutions presented,
and report that number one is a resolution presented by Post No. 64,
as follows, calling attention to the plan adopted by that Post in coniiec-
tion with Memorial Day and the public schools. We give the entire
text of the same in full:
To the Qrand Army Oamrades of WUllamsport, Pa., belong the distinction of having
Inaugurated a patriotic educational movement not only highly commendable, but one
that gives promise of spreading throughout the country, and becoming more popular
from year to year. Reno Post, No. 64, Depeurtment of Pennsylvania, Q. A. R. origin-
ated the Idea of organizing the boys of the public schools into Cadet Companies,
well drilled and uniformed, to participate In the Memorial Day services, was put Into
effective operation.
The proposition was officially sanctioned by the State School Authorities, as well as
by the Department of Pennsylvania Qrand Army Officers.
Through offering suitable prizes to the best drilled companies as shown by com-
petitive contest, a friendly rivalry was developed among the boys making up the
several companies, and a wide-spread public interest was aroused. Flags were given
as prizes for the first year; for the second year, sets of popular books were awarded:
and for Memorial Day observance this year a handsome sword and belt were given
as both first and second prizes. The degree of efficiency shown by the boys of the
six contesting companies was such as to elicit the warm praise of experienced military
men, and the appearance of the Cadet Companies in their drilling and peurade of the
day was universally culmired and applauded.
A largely increased Interest was shown in the general proceedings of the day. The
parade was unusually creditable, being participated in by a number of pktrlotio
organizations and societies in addition to the National Guard, the Grand Army Vet-
erans, the Sons of Veterans and the Public School Cadets.
Resolved, That the plan being followed by the Comrades of Post 64 of this De-
partment to secure the active and organized co-operation of the Public Schools in the
general and regular observance of Memorial Day, and as a means of educating the
young along patriotic lines, be unqualifiedly approved and commended to all Posts of
our State, and that the delegates representing this Department in the National En-
campment be instructed to present this subject to the National body as worthy of its
cordial approval.
Your Committee respectfully submits the foregoing, with a recom-
mendation that the Resolution be approved, which was agreed to.
Number two, presented by Post No. 3, requesting for "The appoint-
ment of a Committee to present an 'Act' similar to that passed by the
Legislature of Nebraska (see copy attached) to the next Legislature of
Pennsylvania, and urge the passage thereof."
Legislature of Nebraska.
Twenty-ninth Session.
A BUrL.
For an act to provide for the proper observance of Memorial Day, and to prevent
horse racing, ball playing, and all other sports and games, on that day, tending to
disturb the publici peace, and prescribing a penalty for Its violation.
Introduced by H. Hughes.
Read first time February 27, 1905. Read second time February 28, 1905, and referred to
Committee on Miscellaneous Subjects. Sent to printer March 1, 1905.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Nebraska:
Section 1. Any person or persons who shall on the 30th day of May, commonly known
as Memorial Day, engage in horse racing, ball plajring, or in any game of sport,
which may tend to disturb the public peace on the 30th day of May, shall be deemed

eruUty of a misdemeanor, and shall be punished by a fine not exceeding One Hun-
dred Dollars, or by Imprisonment for not more than thirty days, or both, in the
discretion of the Court.
Your CJommittee report favorably and request the adoption of the
foregoing. Adopted.
Past Department Commander Beath: Commander, before Comrade
Hull disposes of that, I would like to inquire whether the word "decora-
tion" — this is a copy of the bill presented to the Nebraska Legislature,
and this was stricken out with pencil when I read it. I think we had
better tell the Department of Nebraska that there is no such day known
to the Grand Army of the Republic as "decoration day."
Past Department Commander Hull: This next resolution has reference
to a change in the rules and regulations, so that a Comrade applying
for admission to a post on a transfer card, can be balloted for and ad-
mitted at the same meeting at which he presents his application. The
committee reports on that — the second one — ^referring it to the National
Encampment.
Past Department Commander Beath: I would like to know why you
didn't refer that to the committee on laws.
The Assistant Adjutant General Suydam: Commander, I move that
this be referred to the committee on Laws.
The motion being seconded it was agreed to.
Number three is an invitation to attend the "Silver Anniversary En-
campment" of Pennsylvania Sons of Veterans.

246 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
Number four is a resolution presented by Joseph E. Clark, Commander
of Post No. 518.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Encampment that the part of the pension
laws which deprives a Soldier's widow of her right to a pension because of her having
married after June, 1890, Is an injustice, and that part of the pension law works a
great injury to the widows and children of very many of the veteran soldiers and
sailors, whose services were so valuable when most needed, and who have married
later than the date named in the Act, That we petition Congress through the Thirty-
ninth National Encampment for the repeal of this portion of said Act.
Your Committee report this with a favorable recommendation and
move that it be referred to the Representatives to the Thirty-ninth
National Encampment. So ordered.
Number five is a transcript from the records of Posts No. 37, adopted
April 1st, 1905.
That the representatives of this Post attending the Etepartment Encampment at
Reading, Pa., June 7th and Sth, 1905, be instructed to vote in favor of instructing"
the representatives of the Department of Pennsylvania attending the National En-
campment at Denver, Colorado, in September, 1905, to vote for a straight service
pension bill, granting $12 per month to every honorably discharged soldier, sailor and
marine, regardless of age or length of service, and a like amount to the widows of
such soldiers, sailors and marines.
Unanimously agreed to.
JACOB H. RAHN, P. C.
Attest: F. R. HENDRIOKSON,
Adjutant.
The committee report favorably. Adopted.
Number six is a resolution presented by Comrades John T. Howe and
P. DeLacey, of Post No. 139:
Resolved, That it is recommended that each Post in this Department make a detail
suiflcient to visit the various schools in its vicinity previous to Memorial Day, for
the purpose of bringing out a better observance of the day, and also to impress the
Importance of giving our school children instruction along patriotic lines.
Your Committee report that while this feature incident to the ob-
servance of Memorial Day is generally provided for, we move the
adoption of the resolution. Adopted.
Number seven is a preamble and resolution presented by Comrade
Ebenezer Adams of Post No. 21.
Whereas, Our ranks are being rapidly depleted through the frequent visitations of
Death, and Whereas, These visitations are leaving many widows and daughters who
would esteem it a great privilege and honor to wear upon their breasts the badge of
their deceased husbands and fathers; therefore, be it Resolved, That this Encamp-
ment request or petition the next National Encampment to make this privilege per-
missive by an action of said National Encampment.
The Committee returns this resolution with a negative recommenda-
tion for the reason that a number of states (including Pennsylvania)
have enacted laws prohioiting the wearing of the badge of the Grand'
Army of the Republic, by any person not a member of said organization.
On motion, the action of the Committee was approved.

The resolution in reference to a change in the rules and regulations
permitting a post to act upon the application of a Comrade for admission
on a transfer card on the same night the application is presented, was
referred to the committee on laws. I make this statement so that com-
rades may understand that it has passed out of the hands of the com-
mittee on resolutions.
Past Department Commander Sample: Department Commander, I now
move you that the report of the committee on resolutions be adopted
as a whole. Motion having been seconded, it was agreed to.
Past Department Commander Beath presented the report of the Com-
mittee on Laws and Rules, as follows:
Reading, Pa., June 8, 1905.
To the Department Encampment:
Your committee appointed to consider proposed amendments to the
Rules, liegulations and Ritual, respectfully report that the following
be approved by the Department of Pennsylvania, and be duly submitted
for the action of the National Encampment:
First: To amend Paragraph 1, Article 2, Chapter 3, Rules and Regu-
lations (page 14) to constitute comrades of a Department who have
served as Senior or Junior Vice Comamnder-in-Chief, members of their
respective Department Encampments, as now prescribed for Command-
ers-in-Chief, by amendment to the rules of 1902.
Second: To amend Section 3, Article 4, Chapter 2 (page 9), so that
Comrades who have been honorably discharged from the Grand Army
of the Republic shall i^ot, upon rejoining any Post, require to be re-
obligated.
Comrades dropped from the rolls, upon rejoining or on reinstatement,
are not required to be re-obligated, and the same rule should apply to
comrades honorably discharged.
Third: We also recommend for careful consideration of the National
Encampment, condensation • of the obligation imposed on the intro-
duction of new members.
Fourth: Post No. 18, of Philadelphia, presents a resolution to amend
Section 4, Article 4, Chapter 5, Rules and Regulations (page 29) to make
it obligatory upon a Post to formally drop from the rolls a member one
year in arrears, after the formal two months notice prescribed in that
section.
Under the present rules, such action is optional with the Post, and
it is argued that Comrades standing suspended are so carried on the
rolls of the Post for a number of years, thus preventing the Comrade
from making application to another Post of his choice. When a
comrade has been dropped, he is at liberty to join another Post upon
payment of not exceeding one year's dues, but for the suspended mem-

Google
248 39TH ANNUAL. ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
ber, dues accumulate until they amount to a larger sum than many
Comrades can pay for relief from suspension. It seems just that some
limitation be imposed, and while not clear that the remedy is exactly
that proposed, the question is of such general and far-reaching im-
portance, that we recommend its submission to the National Encamp-
ment.
Fifth: Paragraph 2, Article 2, Chapter 3, Rules and Regulations (page
14) prescribe that Departments are, at their discretion, authorized to
restore honors lost by Past Post Commanders.
Post No. 58 makes application for reinstatement of Comrade Daniel
W. Cox, of that Post, and also of Franklin Snow, formerly of Post No.
8, Philadelphia, and W. F. Eicher and A. A. Wasson, late of Post No.
37, York. The above-named are now members of Post No. 58. It is, of
course, understood that in this Department no special privileges are
given to Past Post Commanders. In a number of the smaller Depart-
ments, they are members of the Department Encampment. The case
is clear as to Comrade Daniel W. Cox, who was dropped from Post No.
58, but it not clear that we have the right to restore the honors of
comrades who served as Post Commanders in other Posts, and certainly
this should not be done without the consent of such Posts. We there-
fore recommend that the Department approve the application on behalf
of Comrade Daniel W. Cox, and that i}ie Assistant Adjutant General
shall correspond with Post 8 and Post 114, as to the restoration of Com-
rade Franklin Snow, and with Post No. 37 as to the restoration of
Comrades W. F. Eicher and A. A. Wasson, and if such Posts approve the
application, then the Department Commander is authorized to declare
the honors of such positions restored to the Comrades named. It will
be understood, that if so restored, they cannot be borne on the rolls of
Post No. 58 as having served that Post as Post Commanders, but on
the roll it can be stated they were Commanders of the other Posts.
Sixth: To amend the fourth paragraph of Section 1, Article 2, Chap-
ter 4, page 20) to change the ratio of representation from Departments
to the National Encampment from 750 to 500.
Seventh: To amend Section 1, Articles 3, Chapter 2 (page 8), so that
a Comrade applying for admission on Transfer card may be ballotted
for and admitted at the meeting at which the application is presented,
the application being received, and referred to a committee with au-
thority to report at that meeting.
Eighth: Past Department Commander Thomas J. Stewart presented
a resolution recommending the appointment of "Patriotic Instructor**
for the National Encampment, and of "Department Patriotic Instructor**
for Departments, whose duties shall be to advance and urge patriotic
instruction in the Public Schools.
This work, for some years past, has devolved upon a special Aide-de-
Camp, and its importance and continuance seem to justify more formal
and official recognition.
We approve the suggestion, and recommend its submission to the
National Encampment.

Ninth: Post No. 56, of Philaxielphia, presents a resolution for the
restoration of Comrade R. M. J. Reed, former Commander of that Post
It is stated that the reason he was dropped from the rolls of the Post
was because of continued absence in the work of organizing the Sons
of Veterans.
Some questions have arisen in this case which, in the opinion of the
committee, require further consideration which we are unable to give
at this time, and as no harm can come from a postponement, we recom-
mend that the application be referred to a special committee of three,
who shall have authority to make such investigation as may be proper
and requisite, and report their conclusions to the next Department En-
campment.

Comrade: Your Committee appointed to convey greetings to the
Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic, respectfully report they have

Comrades: The committee, to whom was referred the report of the
Assistant Adjutant General, respectfully submits the following:

250 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PEINNA.,
We have examined the report with great care, and find that the same
is full and complete in every detail, and demonstrates that the Depart-
ment Commander committed no error in appointing Comrade Charles
A. Suydam to this, the most responsible position (except Department
Commander) in the Department.
Your Committee regrets to note that the report shows the delin-
quency of Post Commanders in not promptly forv/arding reports, and
thus delaying the work of the otRce, and imposing additional duties
thereon. In view of the arduous work of the Assistant Adjutant Gen-
eral, this negligence on the part of Post Commanders, while not in-
tentional, nor intended to impose additional labor, is really inexcusable,
and the additional burdens imposed by this neglect or omission, entails
a hardship that is not realized by those who cause the same.
It is earnestly hoped that no cause for a similar complaint will ever
again be reported to the Department, as our records should be correct
and complete, and this can only be accomplished by prompt and well
prepared reports.
The long experience of Comrade Suydam as Assistant Adjutant
General and his familiarity with the Department and the various Posts
composing the same, and his close attention to the duties of the position,
peculiarly fit him for this important work that he has so long, so well
and so faithfully performed.
The thanks of the Department and every Comrade of the same are due
to Comrade Suydam for the able, courteous and eflacient manner in
which he performs his duties and for the management of the affairs
of the Department.

Past Department Commander Wagner: Comrades, that lets me out; I
am obliged to you. I had $10 in cash that I could not account for. $500
added to previous contributions from the Department will give us
about $2,800, especially with the thousand dollars contributed by Com-
rade Miller. If anybody else has a thousand dollars to give us, let
us have it.
Past Department Commander Sample: Department Commander, dur-
ing the meeting of the Committee on Resolutions, I desire at this time
to make a motion that when we adjourn, that we adjourn to to-morrow
morning at nine o'clock, and that the Election Board for Junior Vice
Commander and members of the Council of Administration will take
their places, and that the Comrades will vote for those ofllcers before
retiring from the hall, and the result will be announced in the morning.
The name of Comrade Joseph Gould who was nominated for Junior
Vice Department Commander was withdrawn by Comrade Alfred Ayers,
Post Commander of Post 92* of Mt. Carmel, who stated that he was
authorized to withdraw Comrade Gould's name.
Past Department Commander Sample: Commander, I move you that
the Assistant Adjutant General be authorized to cast the unanimous
vote of this Encampment for Comrade William H. Green of Post 94,
Philadelphia for the position of Junior Vice Commander of this De-
partment for the ensuing year.
The motion having been seconded, it was agreed to.
Assistant Adjutant General Suydam: By direction of the Department
Encampment, I cast its unanimous vote for Comrade William H. Green,

252 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
Department Commander elect Andrew J. Wilt: Department Com-
mander and Comrades, you have heard the expression, "I am too full
for utterance." I wish I was able to express the feelings of my heart
to-night. Comrades. I assure you. Comrades,^ that I esteem this a
great honor, and I hope that during the coming year my conduct and
action will be such that you will be able to say that he has certainly
endeavored to do the best he could.
If I had been told when a boy seventeen years old, when I was mus-
tered out of the service of the United States, that I should ever have the
honor of commanding 25,000 men who served in the different branches
of the armies of the Union, I should have said. No, I am not worthy of it.
Comrades, I don't know that I am to-night, but I shall do the very best
I can wherever I go, and I will try to preach the gospel of comradeship,
fraternity, charity and loyalty, and will try to stir up the old Common-
wealth of Pennsylvania as she has never been before.
You have passed resolutions at this encampm^it that are most dear
to my heart. I have contended and shall contend in the coming year,
that one of our duties, and one of our most important duties as Grand
Army men, is that we shall be the advance guard and take the boys and
girls of this great Commonwealth and instil into them the right ideas
of American citizenship. That subject is dear to my heart, and wherever
I shall go, I expect to preach it to you, and I want every Comrade in
this great Department to be on the picket line, but I don't want them
to shoot unless there is an enemy in reach of them.
I believe that the greatest duty we have to-day is to do the things
which will work for the future good of our country. We have done our
duty as soldiers. They tell us we are old men, but you know the saying
is, "Young men for war and old men for counsel." We have been the
young men of the war, now let us be the old men of the council, and
let us teach the younger and rising generation now, let us show them by
our lives, by our acts and our instructions what is the end in store for
this great country of ours in which I take great pride in still advancing
it and having it go further forwards and forwards, still carrying on its
banner the principles for which we fought.
I do not want to detain you; I should be glad to take every Comrade
by the hand, but I will again say to you my Comrades, that I shall do
the best I can. Mistakes I shall no doubt make, but if I do, they will
be mistakes of the head and not of the heart. Again thanking you, '
Comrades, I bid you good-night. (Applause.)
The Senior Vice Commander elect was called for and appeared upon
the platform, where he was introduced by the Department Commander.
Senior Vice Commander elect Andrew Lee: D^artment Commander
and Comrades, there is nothing in my life that has given me more pleas-
ure than to be the second in command of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lic of this Department. I will give you my word that this year I will
do all I can, as I have done for thirty-eight years in the past, for the
benefit of the Grand Army. I will endeavor to teach the children pa-

triotism and to defend the old flag if need be as I defended it four long
years.
I thank you kindly for the honor you have conferred upon me to-day.
(Applause.)
The Junior Vice Commander elect was called for and appeared upon
the platform where he was introduced by the Department Commander.
Junior Vice Commander elect William H. Green of Post 94, Philadel-
phia: Commander and Comrades of the Department of Pennsylvania,
allow me to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the honor you
have bestowed upon me^ and you may rest assured that I shall fill the
ofllce of Junior Vice Commander in as able a manner as possible. (Ap-
plause.)
The Department Commander: Comrades, I forgot to introduce to you
the Department Chaplain elect. I now have the pleasure of presenting
to you Department Chaplain Sayers, who will say a few words.
Department Chaplain elect John W. Sayers: Department Commander
and Comrades, I cannot tell you how grateful I am for your kindness
and your confidence, and so far as lies in my power, I shall do every-
thing to further the interests of our organization. I need not tell you —
those of you who are in contact with me from day to day or week to
week, that next to my church, I give my time to the interests of the
Grand Army of the Republic, and I love it better than any other or-
ganization. (Applause.)
Let me also say this, lest it might be misunderstood; I think the man
is on this platform now who is responsible for my being in this position.
It was not sought by me, and Comrade Beath can testify to that, for
I had no thought when first elected to this position, of filling it, but
when we elected men who did not serve, who didn't care anything
about us — let me say that to you also— men who wouldn't do a single
thing, I came into the position and I served. I tried to do the best
I could, and by the help of God I mean to do it, and in the line in
which the Department Commander elect has been speaking, in educating
and training the boys and girls in our publfc schools and elsewhere. I
think it is our mission until the Master shall call us hence, to teach them
to be true, to teach them to be loyal to the flag that you and I love so
dearly, how it flies above the flag of every other nation, and how it
is honored as no other flag is honored. I have often said in speaking
and listening to addresses like that of last night by Comrade Blackmar,
and often thought that our flag, like the rainbow is the symbol of
promise and the sign of victory over the darkest powers. We have fol-
lowed it and it has brought victory to us and it will bring victory to
those who come after us, if we are true to the principles of our fathers.
(Applause.)

254 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OP PENNA.,
Past Department Commander Hull: The Committee on Resolutions
have another resolution which they have given Comrade Vanderslice
permission to offer to this body.
Past Department Commander Vanderslice presented and read his
resolution to the Encampment as follows:
Resolved, That at future Encampments, the Department Commander shall at the
time of announcing committees upon reports and resolutions, appoint a Committee of
fifteen, representing as nearly as possible the various sections of the Department.
To this committee shall be referred all nominations for Representatives to the
National Encampment. The committee shall hold a meeting and give those so de-
siring an opportunity to appear before it in behalf of any candidate. It shall make
a report recommending for election by the Encampment^the candidates named by it,
giving each section of the Department as fair and just a representation as possible.
The adoption by the Encampment of the report as made or as amended, shall con-
stitute the election of Representatives.
Provided, That no Post shall be represented on this committee two years in suc-
cession.
Comrade William Besselievre, of Dupont Post No. 24, Philadelphia:
Commander, I move that the resolution be laid on the table.
Past Department Commander Vanderslice: I move the adoption of the
resolution. Motion seconded.
The Senior Vice Commander in the Chair: The resolution is before
the Encampment for action.
Past Department Commander Vanderslice: Commander and Com-
rades, I have given for years considerable consideration to this ques-
tion, and I think that almost every Comrade in this hall will agree with
me that the question of the election of representatives from the De-
partment of Pennsylvania to the National Encampment has caused
more ill feeling and more dissatisfaction than any other matter in this
Department. For this reason, because of the large number of repre-
sentatives that Pennsylvania must elect, there is no time given to
a Comrade to say a word in behalf of the man he nominates, and 1
know this to be a fact, that in this Department, when I was Assistant
Adjutant General, a certain leading Comrade, a man who stood high
in his community, who had equipped at his own expense the first year
his Post was organized — had equipped bis Post so that it might turn
out in proper shape on Memorial Day, and that Comrade held a re-
sponsible position and was the unanimous choice of his Post for three
or four years for representative, and each year he was defeated until
he now pays his dues and that is all. There was no feeling against him
in this Encampment, and had this custom then prevailed, some com-
rade would have gone before that Committee and told the standing of
the man, and what he had done for his Post, and he would have been
recommended, and would have been elected by your vote.
This prevents a man from coming here and having himself nomi-
nated against the wishes and protest of his Post, as has been f re-

GRAND ARMY OF TAB REPUBLIC. 255
quently done in this Department, causing a great deal of dissatisfac-
tion. Comrades don't know in such cases that a Comrade who may
nominate himself is not the choice of his Post and the result is, they
have often been elected to the detriment of the Department.
In every large body this practice prevails. It is fair; every sec-
tion of the State will be represented by this committee of fif-
teen men, and when the names are taken out of the box, anyone who
has nominated a Comrade can say a word in his behalf, or the repre-
sentatives of his Post may appear before the committee and state the
character of the man and tell why he is recommended. It may be that
they cannot agree upon every man. As it is now, practically twenty-
five men control the representation of this Department, I do not say
unfairly, but as there is a large number nominated, if twenty-five men
unite upon any one man or set of men, they elect him, and yet they
may not be one-fourth or one-fifth of this Encampment. Under this
plan some Comrade may rise and say that a Comrade who is recommend-
ed to that committee, is not the choice of the Post, or not the choice of
our section.
As I have said, I have given this matter consideration for years. At
one time as the Chairman of the Committee, we had mapped out a
plan of districting the State. The order is now changing so rapidly
that this would be impracticable, but with a fair committee I believe
all. this trouble would be obviated; this waste of time, getting these
tickets printed with a large number of names, some of whom will get
five or six votes, and probably will be offended, whereas with this method
we can have a fair representation, and have an opportunity for a man
to go before this committee and explain why comrades are recom-
mended.
I have presented this resolution in the interest of harmony and in the
interests of all the Posts throughout the State, many of whom have
nominated men year after year, and notwithstanding they may be the
very finest of Comrades, and representative Grand Army men, they have
Dcen defeated.
A Comrade asked for the second reading of the resolution, and the
resolution was read a second time.
Past Department Commander Sample: Commander and Comrades:
For twenty-six years I have been coming to every meeting of this En-
campment and for twenty-six years I have heard all sorts of schemes
brought forward for the purpose of the election of delegates or repre-
sentatives. I have seen the representativs taken during the adminis-
tration of Comrade Venderslice that he speaks of, fourteen or fifteen or
sixteen of them from Philadelphia and nine or ten from Allegheny
county and the balance of the State could go and find out where they
could get representation. For the last five or six years — yes, longer than
that — I challenge any member of this Encampment to take the list of
representatives to the National Encampment and go over it and ex-

amine it carefully, and he will find that it is the fairest distribution of
men geographically that could possibly be gotten together in an organi-
zation of this character. The country representatives, if you choose
to term them so, the smaller Posts, have been recognized. Now what
does this propose to do? It proposes now that the Department CJom-
mander shall appoint, at^the opening of the Encampment, fifteen men,
to whom all candidates for representatives shall be referred. What
does that mean? If it means anything, it means that these fifteen men
that will be named by the Department Commander, can take every repre-
sentative from any portion of this State that he desires and make him
a representative to the National Encampment, and you haven't anything
at all to say about it. (Applause.)
Past Department Commander Vanderslice: Why haven't they?
Past Department Commander Sample: (Continuing.) I am one of the
fellows who believes that every Comrade has the right to any office in
the Grand Army of the Republic to which he may choose to aspire, but
I also believe that if a hundred Posts in this Encampment should elect
a representative to the National Encampment, they have a right to do
so, and who is going to prevent it? How are you going to prevent it?
It has been truthfully said by other Comrades in speaking upon this
question every year, that there is no Department that comes upon the
floor of the National Encampment that has a fairer, squarer repre-
sentation of the different portions of the State than the Department of
Pennsylvania. (Applause.) To-day you will find probably Philadel-
phia with all her membership having five or six representatives to the
National Encampment. You will find the next section in the far west
with probably three or four, both of them we will say with ten or eleven,
then there are twenty delegates or representatives to be distributed
throughout the State. That was not the case formerly. It was not the
case during the time referred to by Comrade Vanderslice.
We have tried every means; we have done everything that is possible
to be fair and to be square, and the present method has been found
to be the fairest and the best way that we can devise for the election
of representatives to the National Encampment.
There will always be dissatisfaction, I don't care what plan you
adopt. Every man thinks when he is nominated, he has a right to be
elected, and so he has, if he gets the necessary votes. That is the
only principle that should guide us.
I am opposed to the adoption of the resolution because it creates a
power and puts it all in the hands of one man, who can elect if he
chooses every year, the representatives ot the National Encampment by
the selection of his committee of fifteen, and I trust that the resolution
will be voted down. (Applause.)
Past Department Commander Vanderslice: Commander, when we
discuss measures that affect the welfare of this organization, that affect
the fraternal and good feeling that should prevail, we ought not to

GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 267
engage in buncombe, and we should not make statements such as have
been made by Comrade Sample that in previous administrations, the
cities of Pittsburg and Philadelphia have been represented to the ex-
clusion of other portions of the State. The records of the Department
Encampment are printed and open to every man, and you will find by
referring to them that Comrade Sample is simply mistaken, but that
is not the question here. There is no question about the Comrades
being or not being representative men. There is no question about
their being an honor to the Department of Pennsylvania, but the ques-
tion is, why should you go through the farce of having these tickets
printed, and having an election of representatives when forty or fifty
votes sometimes are cast for a Comrade, when you have a representation
here of six or seven hundred. Why not have a majority vote?
Referring to the statement that Comrade Sample has made that this
committee can absolutely control this thing, and if desired could recom-
mend the whole ticket from Philadelphia or Pittsburg, would there a
committee be found or that could be appointed to come before
you with such a recommendation and expect it to be adopted? Their
recommendation is only for the action of the Encampment. I do not
say, and no one else says, that the different sections of the State are
not fairly represented, but I think we should get away from this farce
that don't mean an election, because twenty-five or thirty men elect
a man. Why should not a committee of fifteen sift out and recommend
to you such and siich a Comrade for representative, then if one of you
should get up and say, it is not the desire of our Post; we do not de-
sire that man to be elected, do you think he would be elected?
This plan is adopted by other bodies; it is done in other Departments,
and it seems to me it would prevent a waste of time and would give
every one a chance to go before that committee and speak a word for
their Comrades, and then they could not say that his name has been
hustled through and that he has not been fairly elected.
It cannot affect me nor my interest one way or the other. It cannot
affect the Post to which I belong, because it has been fairly treated by
this Encampment. What I say, I say in the interest of harmony; I
say it in the interest of the welfare of the Department, and I leave it to
you for decision.
Post Commander William Besselievre, Post 24, Philadelphia: Com-
mander, I have some knowledge of parliamentary law, and I claim that
Comrade Vanderslice had no right to take the fioor after he had spoken
once upon his resolution, and when I had the fioor.
The Department Commander: You are right about that
Comrade Besselievre: Commander, I renew my motion, which is
always in order, that this resolution be laid upon the table; that cuts
off all debate.

A Comrade: I rise to a point of order. There was a motion made
and seconded to adopt the resolution.
The Department Commander: A motion to lay upon the table is
always in order.
The motion having been seconded and the question put, the Com-
mander declared the motion apparently carried, when a division was
called for.
The Department Commander: All in favor of that motion will please
rise and remain standing until counted by the Assistant Adjutant
General.
After the count and the members were seated, the Department Com-
mander announced the vote as reported to him by the Assistant Ad-
jutant General to be 271 in favor of laying the resolution on the table,
therefore the motion carried and the resolution was laid on the table.
Past Department Commander Sample: Commander, I move that we
now take a recess until to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock and that in
passing out, the Comrades cast their votes for the members of the Coun-
cil of Administration.
A Comrade: I move you that before we adjourn we select the place
for the next meeting.
The Department Commander: It is too late to-night; we will do that
to-morrow morning.
As the members passed out, they cast their votes for the members of
the Council of Administration, and the meeting adjourned until to-
morrow morning at nine o'clock.
Academy of Music, Reading, Pa., 9 A. M., Thursday, June 8, 1905, the
Encampment was called to order by the IDepartment Commander at
the designated hour.
Past Department Commander Sample: Comrades, I said a year ago
when we elected our Department Commander, that he would give us a
creditable administration, and one that would be satisfactory to all; that
his ambition and loyalty to the Grand Army of the Republic was of
such a character that he would size up to the situation. I think you
will all agree that he has more than verified the good words said of
him a year ago. To-day he comes to us, and in a few hours will lay
down the gavel of authority and step back again into the ranks of the
Grand Army of the Republic and do as he has done in all the years of
the past, the very best he can for the interests of the Grand Army.

His Aides have asked that I shall say to him something:, give him
something that will always be a reminder of the pleasant times that
he had as Commander of this Department notwithtsanding the laborious
wQrk accompanying it.
Comrade McNevin, the aides of your staff, sir, have delegated me to
present to you in their name — not only your staff, but your friends —
this beautiful watch and chain, and I want to say to you, sir, that in all
the years that may yet be given you in this life, that when you take
this watch from your pocket and look into its face, and see the hands
revolving, even if it should be your fortune to lie upon a bed of sick-
ness, it will still be a pleasure to you to know as you look upon it,
that you have won the hearts of your comrades of this Department,
and that you have done the best that you could in order that this
splendid organization of ours might continue along the lines of pros-
perity.
Now sir, in the name of your staff and your friends, I hand you this
watch accompanied by their best wishes, and not alone their best
wishes but those of all the Comrades of this Department with whom
you have been brought in contact. (Applause.)
Department Commander McNevin: Past Department Commander Sam-
ple and Comrades, I hardly know what to say. As I stated one year
ago in assuming command of this Department that I desired the co-
operation of the Comrades throughout it in order that my administration
might be successful, and during this time I have labored to the best of
my ability, and at this time I can truthfully say that the Comrades have
rallied to my support, and made my administration I believe, successful.
To these Comrades I certainly am greatly indebted.
In receiving at your hands this beautiful watch, I desire to return
my sincere thanks to the members of my stafC and other Comrades
who have so kindly remembered me on this occasion, and as the hands
of this beautiful time-piece mark the hours I shall recall with great
pleasure the faces of the Comrades who have so honored me on this
occasion, and I desire to thank each and every Comrade in the Depart-
ment of Pennsylvania, and I trust that we shall have the pleasure of
meeting in future Encampments.
Comrade Theodore Schweriner, Post 6: Let us give three cheers for
Department Commander McNevin.
The cheers were given with a will by the entire Encampment.
The Officer of the Day: Department Commander, I have the honor
to report that the Woman's Relief Corps it at the door waiting to be
received and make their report.
The Department Commander: Please advise them that we will receive
them in a few minutes.

Prayer by the Chaplain: Our Heavenly Father we look up to Thee
this morning with grateful hearts and thank Thee for Thy watchful
care over us in the night that has, passed. We pray that Thou wouldst
give us grace for the labors of this day. We thank Thee for the har-
mony, for the brotherliness that has prevailed in this Encampment.
As we approach the close of the session, while our hearts have re-
joiced to see so many of our Comrades here, we have also been sad in
the thought that never again shall we meet as we have met, all of us
together, this day and yesterday. While some must drop out by the
way, we pray that Thou wouldst help us that we may go forward
praising Thee; that no matter what shall come to us in the days and
weeks and months that are before us, that we may be faithful and true
In the discharge of every duty.
Our Heavenly Father, we pray Thee to watch over us and keep us
in the hollow of Thy hand, and do Thou grant, O Lord, when our life
work is ended here, that while we may not meet here again as we have
met, may we meet around the throne of God, and hear Thee say, well
done, good and faithful servant, and unto Thy great name will be
praise forever more. Amen.
The Ofllcer of the Day: Department Commander, I have the honor
to report that a committee of the Ladies of the G. A. R. is waiting at
the outpoet. They wish to be received and make their report.

will receive them in a few minutes.
Past Department Commander Sample: I have been requested to an-
nounce that Mrs. Spargo, President of the Ladies of the G. A. R., from
Wilkinsburg, fell yesterday with a stroke and I believe has died
this morning. The Comrades from that PoSt desire that I should
make this announcement to the Encampment.

Mrs. Emma D. Lemon was introduced by the Department Commander
as the superintendent of the Brookville Home.
Mrs. Lemon: Commander and Comrades, I will not take up your time
for I know you are in a hurry to get through with your work to-day.
Mrs. Dr. Chapman: Comrades, I want to tell you something that one
member of the Home has said about this small woman we bring with
us. About a year ago a fine old gentleman who had come to the limit
of his strength for his support met a man you all know, his name is
Thomas G. Sample, and he told this Comrade of his distress and of an
effort to secure a home, and he expected to go to Erie himself and to
secure a place for his wife in a church home if possible. Comrade
Sample advised him to go to the Brookville Home, a place the old gen-
tleman had never heard of, but through his influence, he secured a home
there. He is now in almost a dying condition, but he is a feeble, honest,
gentle old man, although he doesn't always express himself as some
other persons do. After he had been there a time, there was a meeting
of the Board of Directors, and he came to us and said, I want you to
find Sample; I want you to tell him how good a home I have. He
showed me the way to come here, but after I came and Mr. Evans died
and Mistress Evans was sick, and when we couldn't have her any more,
we thought this Home would stop. We thought there would not be
any more home, but we made it a subject of prayer. He said the family,
the Protestants and the Catholics and everybody had a prayer meeting,
and they prayed that the Board of Directors would be guided in the
selection of some one to take Mrs. Evans' place, and he said, do you
know, the Lord granted it, and we have Mrs. Lemon, and she is so
gentle, and so mild, and has such superior methods, and is so knowl-
edgable that we know if we didn't have her this Home would stop, but
we have her, and we don't expect the Home to stop. (Applause.)
Mrs. Barrett was then introduced by the Department Commander.
Mrs. Barrett: Commander and Comrades, it gives me great pleasure
to greet you, having been the wife of a soldier, which will prove to
you my deep and abiding interest in the soldier.
Assuring you of the pleasure of this meeting, and hoping we may all
meet again I bid you good-bye. (Applause.)
The Department Commander then introduced the National President,
Mrs. Hagar, of the Ladies of the G. A. R. from Chicago, who was re-
ceived with applause.

Mrs. Hagar: Department Commander and Comrades: It was a great
pleasure to me this morning to be invited to come with this committee
of the Ladies of the 6. A. R. of the Department of Pennsylvania to
meet you. I bring you glad tidings, and the fraternal greeting of the
30,000 women and about 20,000 Comrades who are honorary members
of our order. We wish we were able to embody in words and to convey
to you the sentiment that we entertain toward the brave men who de-
fended the flag of this nation when it was in danger. They were as
brave as any army that Napoleon ever led to victory or defeat, and as
patriotic as any Spartan that ever offered his life as a sacrifice for his
country. They had a more thorough comprehension of the principle
for which they fought, and a more thorough realization of what defeat
meant to themselves than any army ever before marshalled on the field
of battle. With such an army as that although you had eminent com-
manders, there was really little need of leaders although you had
leaders who neither asked nor expected any man to go in advance of
them to battle. They were enlisted for three years or during the war,
and they enrolled under our flag with a full knowledge of what our in-
dependence had cost in blood and treasure. They went to the front,
there to remain until every rebel had laid down his arms and acknowl-
edged allegiance to one country and to one flag. (Applause.) At the
call of Abraham Lincoln, the most majestic flgure in the history of the
war, they were the loyal sons of the North who responded as though
touched by the mighty hand of Omnipotence. They waited for no second
call; they knew that armed treason was assaulting the flag, and they
went to the front there to remain for four long years of war, of suffer-
ing and of death, and until the cause for which the South had fought
went out in everlasting midnight, never to have a resurrection.
The Grand Army of the Republic is the noblest and grandest organi-
zation of men in existence. (Applause.)
The Department Commander then introduced Mrs. Kate E. Blair, of
the Ladies of the G. A. R.
Mrs. Blair: Commander and Comrades: This is one of the highest
honors that has ever been conferred upon me. I never realized at any
time that I would have the pleasure and the honor of addressing the
Grand Army of the Republic in a body, therefore I consider it quite an
honor, not that I have a great deal to say, nor will I take much of your
time, but I will convey the warmest and the kindest greetings from the
Ladies of the G. A. R. to this body. They exte%d to you the highest
and the warmest feelings in their hearts, your mothers, wives, sisters
and daughters composing the Ladies of the G. A. R.
Now Comrades, I have only a few words to say. We have several
others to hear from, but I would like to say that in the past year in
Pennsylvania we have given to the Grand Army of the Republic $11,215,
and our total membership is 5,617.

Now, Comrades, I have nothing more to address to you only to bring
to you the warmest and the kindest greetings from the Ladies of the
G. A. R. (Applause.)
The Department Commander then introduced Miss Bertha Holgate
of the Chester Springs Soldiers' Orphans' School and member of the
Ladies of the G. A. R.
Miss Holgate: Commander and Comrades, I am only going to say that
I bring to you from the Ladies of the G. A. R. God-speed and God's
blessing. (Applause.)
The Department Commander then introduced Mrs. Jennie Troxell of
the Ladies of the G. A. R.
Mrs. Troxell: Department Commander and Comrades, for the second
time it is my pleasure to bring you the greetings from the Ladies of
the G. A. R. and I am sure I deem it a very great honor. I can scarcely
find words to express the feeling that takes possession of me in facing
a body of men whose history has been so spleiidid and whose patriotism
has been so grand. Two score and four years have passed since the
war drum ceased to beat, as it led your columns upon fields of battle.
How can the thought help but thrill us when we look back and see the
men of the sixties leaving their plows in the field, deserting their
workshops, leaving their stores and their business, leaving the schools
even, and above all, their homes, and those they held so dear, making
such sacrifices for the righteous cause, and going forth to meet the
forces of rebellion which were trying to destroy our country.
It was the spirit of patriotism and principle of liberty displayed by
you Comrades that led so many of our young men, following the example
of the heroes of '61 to '65 to rush into our recruiting offices during the
Spanish-American war in numbers far larger than those called for by
the President of our nation, your martyred Comrade, William McKin-
ley. You know the glorious result.
The Department Commander then introduced Mrs. Joseph E. Clark,
of the Ladies of the G. A. R.
Mrs. Clark: Department Commander and Comrades, I feel very proud
of the honor of being allowed to appear before this great organization.
As the other ladies have used up all the other available ammunition,
as I suppose I may say, I will not take more of your time, but will
simply assure you yiat we bring to you our best wishes and kindest
greetings. (Applause.)
The Department Commander: By request. Past Department Com-
mander Miller will respond to the greetings of the Ladies:

ladies. Of course you would infer that I requested the Commander to
have the privilege of doing so. I want it distinctly understood that
while I am obeying orders, I didn't ask him to do anything of the kind.
Who could reply to these eloquent words we have listened to? Surely
not I. I would have selected Comrade Stewart, or our old friend Gen-
eral Wagner, or any of the other boys that know how to talk to the
ladies.
I was thinking yesterday that this is rather a peculiar audience;
most of us have passed beyond the middle age of life, and some of us are
.on the other side of tne hill. I see no young men amongst them, and
surely, I miss the ladies. I feel somewhat encouraged this morning. I
suppose you remember when you first enlisted, how many of you bade
good-bye to your sweet-hearts and how the songs would stir you, "When
this Cruel War is Over," and "Dearest Love, Do You Remember,'* "We
Shall Meet, But We Shall Miss Him," and many other songs that stirred
the heart, but you know those days are gone, but notwithstanding the
fact that you are getting along in years, the example that you men
have set and are setting will have a wonderful and potent influence
upon the. coming generation. We are sometimes called the "has-beens,"
but I believe in the "has-beens" because they have achieved their
wonderful work. Robert Bonner once said that he didn't care anything
about a "has-been" nor a "will-be." What he wanted was an "izzer,"
and although some people who have not properly read the history of
our country, may look upon you as "has-beens," I claim that we are
"izzer's" too, because we saved the nation and our country to-day is
greater and better because of the "has-beens." We are "will-be's" too,
because through our example the young men of the future, will emulate
our history. I am sure we have all been gratified by the sweet words
that we have listened to by these ladies. What more can we ask than
to have such eloquent words to tell us what we are and what we have
been? Why, I tell you, a man isn't worth very much if he doesn't hear
any one say he is a very good fellow. I wouldn't give a cent for a man
that hasn't somebody to stand up and speak well of him, and surely the
words that we have listened to should encourage us to stand up just
a little straighter, to do just a little better, to try to be a better example
than ever before, for we surely wish to retain the respect and confidence
of the Ladies of the G. A. R. and therefore we should not do anything
that would cause them to blush or to apologize for us, or for anything
they have said of us.
We thank you, ladies, for these kind words, and assure you that as
General Wagner told some of the boys yesterday — I was a little em-
barrassed — he said "Boys, don't talk to the girls, but look at them." 1
would like to talk to the girls, but I can't, but will invite you with
myself to look at them.
We thank you, ladies; (Applause.)
Three cheers were moved and given for the delegation of ladies from
the Woman's Relief Corps and Ladies of the G. A. R. as they passed out
of the hall.

The Department Commander: I declare that Comrades Jonas H.

Dougherty, have been duly elected as members of the Council of Ad-
ministration for the ensuing year.
Past Department Commander Sample: If there are no other com-
mittees to report, I desire to offer the following preamble and resolution:
Whereas, The meeting of the Department Encampment of the Grand Army of th«
Republic, held in Reading the present week, has been of rare pleasure to us all, and
has demonstrated beyond question the advisability of taking the Department Encamp-
ment to different portions of the State; And Whereas, the citizen's committee and
the comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic have vied with each other In look-
ing after our comfort and pleasure, and while it has been twenty-five years since
we have met here before, the Encampment of 1906 will live In our memory for very
many, many years.
Therefore, be It Resolved, That we, the members of this Encampment, unanimously
do hereby tender our thanks to Mayor E. R. Gerber and the city government of
Reading, and to the patriotic liberty loving citizens, who Joined hands with the
comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic, through the Executive Committee, the
able Chairman of which. Lemon Buch, of Post No. 16, of Reading, is entitled to
special mention, and made it possible to give us one of the greatest demonstrations

that has occurred in the Department of Pennsylvania; also to Posts 16 and 7S for their
Individual efforts in looking: after the comfort, pleasure and entertainment of the
Comrades from all parts of the State. •
To the press, which by full and accurate reports of the proceedingrs and gatherings,
have made it easy for all comrades to keep a complete record of the doings of the
Encampment.
To the women of Reading for the manner in which they have attended to the
wants of our wives and daughters who accompanied us on our trip.
Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolution be furnished the
Mayor of the City, and to Posts 16 and 76, and that the same be published in the
daily papers of Reading, and that an engrossed copy of the same be presented to
Chairman Comrade Lemon Buch.
The following addition was made to the above resolution:
Also that we desire to congratulate the citizens of Reading upon
the splendid demonstration upon the unveiling of the monument to
our martyred President and Comrade, William McKinley.
Comrade C. M. Slack, Post 158: Commander, I move you that this reso-
lution be adopted by a rising vote.
Motion seconded and the resolutions were adopted by a rising vote.
Past Department Commander Sample: Commander, I move that we
now proceed to the selection of the place of our next meeting. Motion
seconded.
Comrade James P. Long, of Post 9, Gettysburg: Commander and Com-
rades, I have been instructed and authorized by Post 9, of Gettysburg,
to extend a cordial invitation for the next Encampment to be held at
Gettysburg. I am authorized to say to you that the money has been
subscribed to defray all necessary expenses, and guaranteed by the
three banks of Gettysburg.
Gettysburg is the Mecca of the soldier. It is the Mecca of the tourists
of the world. It is the greatest marked battle-field in the world. There
are to-day 550 monuments on that field, and there are no two designs
alike. They cost a thousand dollars to $50,000 each and together they
represent an expenditure of over $7,000,000.
There have been more monuments erected on that field than on all
the other battlefields of the world combined.
The battlefield covers an area of twenty-five square miles or 16,000
acres. There are 467 iron tablets on the field. There are 350 cannon
mounted on the field, and over a thousand markers. There are five
iron observatory towers located on the field. It is now, as you all know,
a National park, under the control of the United States Government, and
the Government has built fine macadamized roads to enable you to
make tours over that field. When they have completed the roads now
laid out, there will be a hundred and five miles of macadamized road-
way, the finest in the world.
Comrades, I ask you in behalf of the living who participated in that
battle; I ask you in memory of our noble dead who so freely gave their

lives to the land they loved, I ask of you in memory of the unknown
dead who sleep there on Cemetery Hill, that died on that battlefield in
defense of our flag, I ask of you to come to that historic field. I ask of
you in memory of the lamented Lincoln who made his famous speech
at the dedication of those grounds of the National Cemetery, on Ceme-
tery Hill, when Lincoln said, "Fourscore and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation conceived in
liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation,
or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
"We have met on a great battlefield. We have met to dedicate a
portion of it as the final resting place of those who here gave their
lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper
that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we
cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men,
living and dead who struggled here, have consecrated it far beyond our
power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember,
what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
"It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated to the unfinished work
that they have thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be
here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these
honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they
here gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly re-
solve that the dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation shall,
under God, have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the
people, by the people and for the people, shall not perish from the
earth." (Applause.)
Comrades, in conclusion, feeling assured as I do, that when you pass
your vote for the next Department Encampment, that you will pass It
in favor of old renowned, historic Gettysburg, I thank you.
The nomination of Gettysburg was seconded by Comrade DeLacey, of
Post 139.
Past Department Commander Sample: Commander and Comrades, I
desire at this time to say that the eloquent manner in which Gettys-
burg has been presented would naturally appeal to all our hearts, but
I also want to say that the average age of the boys that would go to
Gettysburg is somewhere in the neighborhood of about sixty-five. We
leave our comfortable homes and go to Gettysburg for the purpose of
spending a week. Many of us have been there time, and time, and time
again. All that Comrade Long has said about the beauties of Gettys-
burg is true; all of the history that he has related is connected with it,
and we know it is all true, but the people of Gettysburg ought to re-
member that the men who go there must have a comfortable bed and
something to eat.
I want to say that of all the places that I have ever been in this State,
and I have been to them all for a quarter of a century, I don't know
of any town where we have been treated so far as that part of our
Digitized by

270 39TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, DEPT. OF PENNA.,
comfort is concerned, worse than we have been at Gettysburg, and I
believe therefore that about once every four years we can go and take
our children and grand-children, so that they may see that great battle-
fiela and all that the United States Government has done and is doing
there to beautify it and make it attractive, and to preserve its history,
but I believe the rest of the time it is well for us to travel around in
other parts of the State and carry the glad tidings to Comrades who
otherwise would not be able to meet with us, going where we can get
what we certainly all must have, comfort and satisfactory rations
while there.
I, therefore, second the nomination made by Comrade Hicks yester-
day, of the city of Altoona. All us people have come down with a full
delegation every year. We have to bring our people from the western
part of the State to attend these Encampments. Now we ought to meet
somewhere near the central portion of the State where we can be com-
fortably provided for; where our personal comfort will be looked after,
and give all the old Comrades an opportunity to stay and look into the
eyes of the men who attend these annual encampments.
I, therefore, second the nomination of Altoona.
It is moved and seconded that the nomination for the next place of
meeting now close, which was agreed to.
A rising vote was called for.
The Department Commander: All in favor of going to Gettysburg
next year will rise and remain standing until they are counted.
It was announced that 106 members of the Encampment voted for
Gettysburg.
The Department Commander: All those in favor of going to Altoona
will now please rise. The greater portion of the Encampment then rose,
defeating Gettysburg by about four to one. Several Comrades who
had voted for Gettysburg announced that they were satisfied that Al-
toona had won without a count.
The Department Commander: 1 declare Altoona selected as the next
place of meeting according to the vote of the Encampment.
Fast Department Commander Sample: Department Commander, I
move you that we now proceed to the installation of officers for the
ensuing term, and that immediately following that, that the Encamp-
ment adjourn, and that the tellers take up the vote for delegates to
the National Encampment as the members pass out. That the tellers
take their places at the door and receive the tickets so that they may
be counted at once before we leave the city of Reading. The motion
having been seconded, it was agreed to.

The Department Commander: We will now proceed with the instal-
lation of officers, and as Comrade Wagner is present and is the Senior
Past Commander-in-Chief and Senior Past Department Commander, he
will install the officers.
Past Department Commander Wagner: The Encampment will be
kind enough to come to order. Shall we do this according to the ritual,
or in the short way?
Several Comrades: In the short way.
The Installing Officer: Commander, we are here to instal the officers
elect for the ensuing year; have they been lawfully elected?
The Department Commander: They have.
The names of the officers elect were announced by the Assistant Ad-
jutant General, as follows:
Department Commander, J. Andrew Wilt, Post No. 68.
Senior Vice Department Commander, Andrew Lee, Post No. 20.
Junior Vice Department Commander, William H. Green, Post No. 94.
Medical Director, Albert M. Smith, M. D., Post No. 612.
Department Chaplain, Rev. John W. Sayers, D. D., Post. No. 16.
The officer of the day presented the officers elect for installation.
The Installing Officer (Addressing the Commander elect): Are you
prepared to announce the several appointments on your staff?
The Department Commander elect: I am.
The Installing Officer: Please do so.
The Department Commander elect: We propose to continue the Com-
rades who have done faithful work. I announce as my Assistant Ad-
jutant General, Charles A. Suydam of Post 2; Assistant Quartermaster
General, John L. Grim, Post 21; Department Inspector, Alexander F.
Nicholas, Post 2; Judge Advocate, D. J. Hornar, Post 210; Medical Di-
rector, Albert M. Smith, Post 612; Chief Mustering Officer, Charles O.
Smith, Post 269.
All presented themselves with the officers elect to be installed, and
the obligation of their respective offices was administered to them by the
installing officer.
The Installing Officer: Comrades, your officers for the ensuing year
are installed. (Applause.)
The Installing Officer: At this time the installation of officers is not
completed. Commander, I move that authority be given the Depart-
ment Commander to make a proper detail for the installation of the
Medical Director, Comrade Smith, and also the Council of Administra-
tion.

Department Commander Wilt: If there are no objections that will be
so done.
The Installing Oflacer: It is always customary at this stage of the pro-
ceedings for the Department Commander to deliver his inaugural ad-
dress.
Upon motion, the installing oflBcer, Past Department Commander
Wagner received the thanks of the Encampment for the eflacient manner
in which he performed his duty as installing officer.
Department Commander Wilt: Comrades, there is no time for
speeches now. As I said last night, if I am spared and have life and
strength, I will try to blow my bugle throughout the Department of
Pennsylvania by visiting just as many parts of it as it is possible for
me to do.
I wish you would carry back to your Posts the wish of the Com-
mander of the Department of Pennsylvania that we may go on in the
good work we have been doing since the close of the Rebellion; that we
may go on in this good work and let them understand that our work
is not yet completed.
Comrades, I will say this to you. We will, as long as we can, keep
right on living; I am going to say to you right here, when you are fit
to live, you are fit to die. Now still another wish. Keep right at it.
We must admit that in fact — we don't want to admit it, but it is a
fact, that we are somewhat old, although we are still the boys in
spirit, and let the communities in which you live understand that we
are not old in spirit and that we are going to continue to live as long as
we can.
Wishing you just as long a life as you can have, and the selfish one —
I want to live long enough to see every one of you buried, and Com-
rades, I think that is the spirit that we all have, to live as long as we
can, but in your life and no matter how long you^ live, lefe^ us never
forget the purpose for which we are organized. Let us show by our
lives that we are fit to teach the young men and young women who
will occupy our places, what is meant by loyalty and good citizenship.
I have sometimes said, and I think it is true, that the love of coun-
try is something like religion, it is a personal matter; each individual
performs his part in the community in which he lives, and to a certain
extent his example permeates it, goes out among the mass and gives us
the power that we have to-day.
Now I want to say thank you again and I want to leave with you my
best wishes, and I hope that we may all have the pleasure of meeting
again. (Applause.)
Is there any further business to come before this Encampment?
The Installing Officer: Commander, I have great pleasure in placing
upon your left breast over your heart — the Bible says, you know.

that the wise man's heart is on his right hand, but they didn't know
you at that time, but I have great pleasure in pinning upon your breast
the badge of your ofllce; the emblem of your oflBce; the gavel, emblem
of your authority, we haven't got.
The Installing Oflacer then pinned the badge upon the breasts of the
Senior and Junior Vice Commanders.
The Senior and Junior Vice Commanders returned their thanks for
the honor conferred upon them, whereupon, on motion, the Encamp-
ment adjourned.
