siastically supported all over the nation
and especially in this State. The Her

to tell their children and their grand
children that they a a share in TIN
erection of a suitable monument to
man, whatever his failings, who made

An editorial printed yesterday morn
ing in the New Jersey Freie Zeitune
of this city had only words of praise
for the plan. The editorial concluded
as follows:

was born, his last days were spent IN
our State and he found his last resting
place in New jerseys historical ground
The movement started by THE

ment in honor and remembrance of the
deceased deserves the warmest support
of all who have come to understand the
great son of this State"
