SOMETHING MORE TO DO.

We publish today with pleasure
thoughtful and suggestive article lrohi
tho men of Capt Samuel A. Ashe WHICH
ought to bear fruit
There are those among us VINO unoer-
estimate the great service rendered. u
North Carolina by the generation now
oossirc away. It is our deliberate judg-
ment that at no period in the history OF
Tho state have the men of any decade
written more glorious pages of the MS
tory of North Carolina than the men OF
whom General Hoke and Captain Ashe
are snlendid types The men who Will
study the history of the State without
bias will find that the record OF this nan
century is one that gives more glory to
North Carolina than any previous fifty
years.
The suggestion by Captain Ashe that
North Carolina needs more hero-worshlp
Of the proper sort is one that will be
heartily seconded by the whole State.
Because the State did not, during these
wears become rich and because it has re-
NAMED true to its best traditions, every
now and then some bright young man
feels called upon to write or speak
slightingly of it. When he does so, he
displays his ignorance. Well Informed
men forgive him, because they know he
will change his erroneous opinions when
he grows older and wiser.
AS a fit practical conclusion of his
thoughtful article, Captain Ashe makes
the happy suggestion that the next Gen.
eral Assembly request General Robert F,
Hoke-the North Carolina Lee-to allow
his full length portrait to be painted fol
the State. 1t would teach history by ar
object lesson that would impress the
youth of North Carolina for all time
BY all means, let the suggestion be car
ried out. And then let the succeeding
Legislature order portrait of Ransom
and one every year of some hero until the
features of all the men who distinguish
ed themselves in North Carolina shall be
| preserved on canvass and become familiar
to our own people. A few weeks ago in q
certain home in Raleigh, pictures of ter
distinguished North Carolinians were
shown to a company of well informed
North Carolina gentlemen. They were
all familiar with the features of Web
ster, Clay, Calhoun, Adams, but not hall
| the company knew Badger, Davie, Gas
ton and other eminent North Carolinians
There is one further lesson in the sug-
gestion by Captain Ashe, it teaches thc
young leaders of today that they are fol
| lowing a generation of men who made
glorious history in peace, in war, in re-
| construction, and advanced the Common
wealth in education in wealth, in prog
| ress. Often they had to make bricks
without straw. This generation, will
| better advantages, with more wealth
with greater spirit of progress, must
do great deeds if they would make the
| record of their day worthy to be com
pared with that era of which Genera
! Hoke is so illustrious a type.
