With tha brtnglnf of the remains from, the present simple tomb at Edenton, N. ".. and the placlor ef them in Christ Church Burial around,, alongside those of his wife, there will be In augurated a national monument that will appeal to the patriotism of every American, young; or old. All the graves of the elgners of the Declaration of Independence are to be located nnd, If not marked, made dlstlngulahable by monuments. Search for Pcnnaylvanla signers tombs haa dlscloaed the fact that there haa been much niglect of the graves of, the men whose act In Congress assembled gave the country's people liberty, and, aud to confess, It Is feared that not a few of the resting places of the fifty five men whose namea were ap pended to the Declaration are among the loat. To fln(l these and to proper lv mark all unmarked craves the Son of the American Revolution pro pose to bend mighty efforts and not ceaae until every tomb shall have been looked after and made a part of a national record. The steps to ward this end are to be taken at the coming national gathering of the Bona of the American Revolution. WILL BE A NATIONAL AFFAIR. -The transfer of Justice Wilson's body Is being completed by a Wilson Memorial committee, with Barton Al va Konkle. of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, as secretary, and the event is to be made national. Presi dent Roosevelt will not be present in person, but will send Attorney Oen eral Moody to represent him at the ceremonies. While the services In this city have been, set for November 21. there will be ceremonies held at Edenton on November 20, upon the occasion of the departure of the body for the city of the Continental Con gress, that breathed the life of a na tion into a people -worn out by Jty ranny of a mother country. At Edep ton a tablet In memory of. Justice Wilson will be erected. The movement of the Sons of the American Revolution to locate the grave of every signer grows out of the successful hunt for the resting places of the nine Pennsylvania sign ers Benjamin Franklin, Tenjamln Rush. Robert Morris, all three burled In this city; Jamas Smith, at York, Pa.; George Clymer, at Trenton," 'N. J.; General Ross, at Lancaster, Pa.; Oeorge Taylor, at Eaaton, Pa.; John Morton, at Chester. Pa., and James Wilson, about to be brought from Edenton. N. C. It took months for a committee of the Philadelphia Chap ter. Sons of tha American Revolu tion, headed by Moses M. Veale. prominent" Philadelphia lawyer and soldier who never says die. to locate a number of the graves, but they have found them all. and every one has been marked In a way showing th annreniation of a grateful face for' tha exeat service rendered In the strenuous days of "7. A resolution will he Introduced at the national gathering of the Sons, which will certainly bo adopted, hav tn for a nurnnne the selection of a committee that will be Instructed to locato and have prominently maritea the graves In the other twelve orig inal colonies. It Is believed that per hana tho greater number of theae grave are marked and cared for, but the Intention Is to have the hunt pushed vigorously so that there hall he no doubt a being put on the ros ter. URAVEB OF OTHER SIGNERS. To do this the Governors of the dif ferent States and mayors of cities will be communicated with, and the com mittee will probably have to do much touring of the country. While moat of the bodies are supposed to be rest ing In the States which they repre sented In the Continental Congress, there may be some, like that of Jus tice Wilson, far from tne common wealths they acted for In the decisive action against Great Rrltaln. With tha nine Pennsylvnnlans located tne Hon' committee will proceed to col lect data alxrut the burial places of the othvr forty-sl signers, as fol low: New York William Floyd.

Tim Pennsylvania committee has al ready plnevd in n volume facts of the careers and burial place of this Mate' signers. In urging the action uf the Hons In National Convention Major Veale rtecliirr that tho Ignor ance of tho average American of each succeeding generation about the his tory that made the country l as tounding, and ho say the time has come for a campaign of education on patriotism, especially In the public schools. "Why, do you know, one of the great-grandsons of ono of the Penn sylvania signers could not tell ma where his great grandfather was burled," said Major Vralo. Another 1j-t that the m.W V.. i, ... y-.inii.,n win no doubt surprise most Americans who read this article. He declares In hla sketch of John Morton, one of the Pennrylvanlans In, that famous Con. grass ggthsrlng of 177. that that member of the body which deiiber I ted on Ike fluestloH of lndfndaM in the carry days of July In that never-to-be-forgotten year cast the rota which gave tha country freedom. . ' itokt paoplg pi thjg n aga 0 opinion thai tho Declaration was put through with,' a rush, that tha Tote for It wag practically unanimous JB1 tory,' however, tella that It was most bitter struggle In tho hall of Congress, and Major ? Veale ! declare! , la his sketch of Morten that tha latter oast tha deciding vote for ; Independence when-the vote- of the representatives of tha colonies waa a tie, and when the eight other repreaenUtlres of his Bute wera evenly .divided on tha mo mentous Question. Writing of Mor ton the major concludes as followa! r "At the close of;hg.41fa ha wag abandoned by some of hie warmest friends, whose political sentiments dlfferen from his own, and they could never forget nor forgive tha vote he had cast In favor of Independence It was then that tha patriot ahone forth even among tha pangs of dissolution. Tell them,' said he on hla death-bed. that they will live to see tha hour when they shall acknowledge Uf to have been tha moat glorlon service I aver rendered my country.' " Little did he dream that the. nation abont whose birth ha spoke In such pro phetic strain would; a century and quarter later be the greatest wonder or the world. MANY VISITORS TO GRAVES. It la but natural that Philadelphia. within whose walla the Declaration of Independence was promulgated. should guard the graves of four of the signers. That will be tha number when the body of Justice Wilson ahaU have been entombed In Christ church at Second and Market streets, where ne, Washington and other represen tatives of the people in tha Contlnen tal Congress attended worship. : Of an -the graves, of signers In Phlladel phla that of Benjamin Franklin is the most sought by visitor a to tha city, Located in the old Christ's church Burying Ground, at Fifth and Aren streets. lying alongside an open-grating gate looking out onto Areh street, the great slab with "Benjamin and Deborah Franklin" (his wife) on It attracts uch attention. Nearby In the same, cemetery Is tha tomb of Benjamin Rush, one of Philadelphia' most.ramoua early patriots. The story of Romeo and Juliet la re- called by the Capulet-llke tomb at Christ church In which lie tha re mains of Robert Morris, This la aeen oy many people in tne course of a year, as tho church Itself Is one of the most Interesting of the hlstorlo snots in rniiaaeipma. That Pennsylvania's example In fit ungiy marking tho graves of her signers will serve to arouse tha na trlotlsm of the people of all the other States numbered among the Thirteen colonies Is confidently estpectedl by Major Veale and his fellow commit. teemen. with the result that In a abort time a new chapter, full of Interest, will be added to tho glorious history vi in unitea mates.

Serretnry Slmw Intends Appealing to the President to Take Liegai AcUon -The hocretary of tlio lreasury'a Troubles Anger Him. Special to The Observer. Washington, Nov. 18. Secretary Shaw Intends to make an appeal to President Hoosevelt to have Attorney General Moody take np the question of legal action against the silver trust 'generally known as the American Smelting and Refining Company. This great concern has the Treasury Department by the throat and has no Intention of letting loose. It laughs at the efforts of tha Secretary to break the connection, and promises to raise the price of silver aa high a la warranted by the situation In the silver mines and silver business. Sec retary Shaw has not been accustomed to such business. He has had the habit of making Wall street quake In It. boots whenever he chose to make use of government money and he was generally regarded aa holding a tight rein over financial affairs. Hut thla time he is up against a combination that pays no attention to hla' thun dering. The unprecedented demand In bus Inesa circles for small Oliver has had the effect of causing, the government to go Into tho market for the pur chase of silver bullion. Until the first of the present fiscal year, which began July 1. tha Treasury has mint ed Its stiver out. of tha accumulation of silver bullion that was bought way back In tho 90 'a. From 1900 to 1906, for Instance, the government coined 141,000,000 of small silver, all ot It out of silver that was bought years ago during the gTeat agitation of the sliver question. But this stock of liver became exhausted and the bus- nesa world cried for more' small money, tlllver had? to be bought and announcement was made that the Treasury would receive offers of the bullion. These offers cams in slow ly; In fact, the sliver trust was prac tlcally the only concern making of fers. Early In August the govern ment made small purchases of silver from the trust at It. IT. cents aa ounce. Gradually tha price has been raised until tha last offer waa 71 cent. Secretary Shaw was mad all the way through and aald tha gov ernment would not buy any mora ell- ver. .Hut that wag a bluff on hla part aa he knew the supply of bullion on nand would not last over two weeks. and 1,000,000 ounces will be required for thla fiscal year. Then ha got In touch with the sliver trust, tha head quarters of which are tn Mew York, and over tho long distance telephone tried to make a contract with them for furnishing silver at present prices. Diplomatically they said they were sorry they couldn't do this, aa tho quantity of sliver was growing scare er and the demand greater, and the price was rising all the time. The best they could do was to let the Treasury have small ; quantities) aa tney could spare tnem. ? , , The trust had gently" .called the Secretary's bluff and, ha realises that he government, in a abort time, must pay tha trust whatever price It asks for .silver bullion.
