MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1923 THE BEST PREACHING —Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your goad works, dnd glorify your Esther which is in heaven —Matthew ${16. __ WALTER HINES PAGE MEMORIAL A movement hag been launched t4 place a memorial portrait of the late Walter Hines Page In the Halt of His tacy at Raleigh, The portrait which it is proposed -4oF the literary and Historical association of North Caro ling to present to the State, through voluntary contributions of citizens who would like to have a part in pro viding a fitting tribute to this dis tinguished editor, publicist, diplomat and patriot, is a replica of the por trait of Mr. Page by*the eminent ar tist Laszlo, now in the American em bassy in London. Mr Page began his career as a newspaper editor in this State at an early age. He became editor of the Atlantic Monthly and then of the World's Work, two of the best maga zines published in America. It Was while editor of the World's Work that he was called by President Wilson to taeoene ambassador to Great Britian, in which capacity he rendered distinc tive service during a crisis in world affairs. The Memorial committee, feeling that a large number of North Caro linians should have a part in this pro posed memorial, is asking for not more than $20 from each contributor. The committee is composed of Dr. Frederick M. Hanes, chairman, and Henry E. Fries, of Winston-Salem; Dr. Jas. Sprunt of Wilmington, and Mrs. Jos. R. Chamberlain of Raleigh. Mr. Page's distinguished career re flects honor upon his native State and no doubt many North Carolinians will be glad of the opportunity to have a part in a.memorial in his honor. —-o A HARD-WORKING OFFICER. Recent conrt criticism of Dr. E. R. Hardin, county health officer, has served to rally to his defense a num ber of people who appreciate the work he ig doing. It seems rather astonishing that a grand jury would accept scattering complaints upon the part of two or three prisoners as indi cating that a public officer is not do ing his duty. As a matter of fact, it has been shown that Dr. Hardin's av erage of visits to jail and chain gang is greater than the average for the State, and if he is to be criticised for not doing what no man can do with out proper cooperation on the part of other officials, what about the other county health officers in the State? Dr. Hardin has proven him self a most efficient and hard-work ing officer, and it is no wonder that criticism of him for not doing what no man can do has aroused consider able resentment among his friends. The whole matter can be remedied, as has been suggested, by requiring ether officials to make reports on ' prinsoners to Dr. Hardin. Judge Sinclair is thoroughly convinced, too, that Dr. Hardin needs an assistant, and has recommended to the State Board of Health that he be given an assistant.

McLeaa. Both these sketches ,re of wide-spread interest. Mr. McLean thinks that the site of the Battle of Raft Swamp should be marked by a permanent granite marker under the provisions of the legislative act pro viding for the malting of historicai spots in North Car<mna, and it would certainly seem that this should be dohe. Mr. McLean has a number of sketches of early Scotch settlers pnd a . number of other articles which he j has prepared during the past few years for his forthcoming book, "Highland Scots in North Carolina", and The Rdb^sonian hopes to be a Me to pub^th djdiers^of Ipie^. ip the "ear 'fdntre.*^ ^ ^ ^ . r,. .
