Tur Thomas Jefferson Memorial Asso.

THE Thomas Jefferson Memorial Asso-
citation, the object of which is to erect
al the national capital suitable MEM
orial to the author and other signers OF
the Declaration of Independence, nat
urally appeals to all lovers of the early
history of the United States, and espec-
i4lly to the many who desire to keep
green the memory of the fathers of the
republic who laid their all upon the
altar OF their country at time when
patriotism was dangerous and a man
took his life in his hands in signing an
instrument which defed George Ill.
The Buffalo Enquirer recently contained
the following concerning the organize
ton re.erred to:
The country is to have another great
patrioiic society. 1t is to be the child
of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Asso-
citation. and the first move for its organ
izstion will be at the jamestown Expo
silion on the Fourth of July, when the
lineal descendants of the signers OF the
Declaration of Independence meet
Several thousand descendants of the
signers have signified their intention to
attend this meeting and are manifestlng
great enthusiasm over the project. The
promoters believe it will be- the greatest
gathering jamestown will record during
the season. That there is call for a
patriotic society such IS the Memorial
Association suggests there is no doubt.
There are thousands of the lineal de-
scendant, of the signers scattered all
over the country, and they can do much
toward promoting true patriotism by
uniting iu a society and holding con-
ventions and reunions similar to those
Of other patriotic organizations. One
thing q society Of this kind will do If
northern people encourage ii - help
greatly TO cement the ties that now bind
north and south together as one great
country, for many Of the signers' de-
scendants are southern people and if the
society is organized on southern soil and
northerners give it the hearty support it
deserves, the former will feel that the
latter really recognize the people Of
Dixie as being as loyal Americans as
those in Yankeeland. We northerners
know this TO be true, and here is an ex-
cellent opportunity presented to con-
vince our southern friends of the fact.
50 let every western New Yorker who
claims to be q descendant of a signer OF
the Declaration attend the jamestown
rally and encourage this latest patriotic
move. The Thomas Jefferson Memorial
Association, which is responsible for this
movement, was chartered by Congress
several years ago. 1t has for its object
the erection of a Jefferson memorial
building on one of the government reser-
vaions in Washington. Hollins Ran
dolph, an Atlanta, Ga, lawyer, and a
lueal descendant of the author OF the
Declaration of Independence, has been
rejected to read this famous instrument
at the jamestown celebration.
