.2,ODOIH BIRTHDAY
. OF HORACE TODAY
World CIassicists Paying
Homage to Greatest of
Latin Lyric Poets.
BY The Associated Press

BY me Assoclated Fress'
Today Is the 2,o00th anniversary Of
the birth of Quintus Horatius Flaccus
greatest Of the Latin lyric poets, who
once said, 81 shall not wholly die"
Because of the universally Of ap-
peal Of Horace, students of the classics
are paying homage to him throughout
the world. In Italy pilgrimages have
been made TO his birthplace and to his
Sabine farm, where much of his
poetry was written.
In America classical assemblages
in scores of universities and colleges
have honored him, and through the
efforts of the American Classical
League prize contests among high
school and college students have been
conducted for judging OF essays about
Horace. trapslations and original
poems In classical style.
Many Out for Celebrations.
"The bi-millenium Horatianum,
says Gordon Jennings Laing. dis
tinguished classicist of the University
of Chicago, "is not just on paper
While I realize the relatively limited
appeal of such an event, you would
be surprised at the numbers turning
out for celebrations"
by the end of the year." Or. Laing
said, IT probably will have spoken at
more than a dozen of these groups
from Colorado to Pennsylvania-and
can see the reason for the interest
today in a poet born in IS B. C.
His instruction is painless and In
direct, and students remember his
odes and satires with pleasure. Hi'
personality and varied literary gift;
are entertaining, and what's more, the
things he said 2.o0o years ago are true
today.
"He advocated confining ones writ
ing to what you know about, advice
that will never wear out. He was 9
great believer Of freedom of thought
and action. It was probably this de.
sire for freedom that led him to joir
up with Brutus following the assassi.
nation Of Julius Caesar"
Often Pointed Out in Street.
Asked how Horace was regarded ir
his own time, DR.. Laing recalled that
the poet wrote about often being
pointed out in the street, and said
His poems. copied by a bookseller
had a brisk and wide circulation In
Rome"
The work Of the committee spon-
sorinp the celebration began in 1891
and has been directed by Roy C

Jurney the Magnificent.

William A. Hill, one of the Hopson
attorneys, described the technique of
Sergeant at Arms Jurney in serving him
with Senate summons as "very lovely"
The description is apt, yet inadequate.
For while Mr.. Jurney undoubtedly
possesses the lovely touch, or, as the. ad
writers would put it, the touch lovely,
he combines with it in serving a sum-
mons certain grandeur, certain
magnificence that cannot fail to impress
all those so fortunate as to have wit
messed Mr.. Jurney in action.
Ordinarily the life of Senate SER
geant at arms must be somewhat prosaic.
He shares with the secretary of the
Senate some of the general admins
trative duties of that body, keeping the
machinery well oiled and the bolts and
the nuts in shape. That is mostly
routine.
But. occasionally, as in the pursuit

Rogers saw good in every one. Which

A Nations Grief.

The grief of nation is not to be

balance. No single individual that ever
has lived has had the power to esti-
mate the sorrow of a people. On Fri
day morning last it was the duty of q
resident of Washington to interrupt the
proceedings of a convention assembled
in the Capital to announce the tragic
death of Will Rogers and Wiley Post.
The shock of the news was manifest
In the countenance of every person in
the audience Men and women reacted
as though they had been struck a
physical blow. The bearer of the bitter
tidings left the platform with tears in
his eyes, remorseful for having hurt so

Last year the total national income

in mind is presented in the extraordinary
service rendered by the late Jane
Adams Quite Single-handed she at
tackled a situation in one Of the con-
gested parts of Chicago that, to her
vision, imperiled those whose lives were
shadowed by misfortune and lack OF
privilege. Without adequate support she
undertook to make more wholesome
community by bringing to it the strength
and purity of her own life.
The story of her bold adventure and
the record of Hull House is one of the
most dramatic episodes in the history of
our modern cities. 1t seems incredible
that one person, and she woman, could
effect such large results in compare
lively brief space of time. She literally
took her Christian principles and tested
them by application to the problems of
those who, of themselves, were incapable
Of resisting forces that were inimical to
their well being Little by little she
broadened the field of her influence
until it spread to a continent, and
ultimately to the world at large. Her
extraordinary service is practical dem
onstration of the force of the Masters
word that those who possess the fine
qualities Of salt are the real preServers
of the best things in life.
The test of what we hold of Christian
faith is found in its adaptability, not only
to our own needs, but to the needs Of
those who are less fortunate than our
selves. If the proof of the pudding is
in the eating" the proof of the validity
and utility of our Christian profession is
in its fitness to serve the world in which
we live. 1t is Increasingly clear that
reformations Of every kind are effected
by those who, in themselves, possess
qualities that cleanse and enrich every
situation with which they have to do.
Life cannot be made the better and the
richer by a salt that has lost its SAVIOUR.

asset. A populace incapable of sorrow
would be unworthy of survival. Ca
pacity to share in general regret for
the loss of a leader is, in effect, a
spiritual asset, manifestation of fel-
lowship and brotherhood such as society
must have if it is to endure. 1t wit
nesses to fundamental charity, teSti-
fies to love. And so regarded, 1t Is q
bond of union, a tie which fastens
heart to neart in an endless chain of
understanding, social amalgam &C.
menting humanity together.
Rogers and Post were worthy of the
tribute of their country's affection.
They had earned the admiration and the
high respect of their mourners. Their
lives were spent in the service of ideal
purposes, sacrificed in brave adventure
for common gain. And Outstanding
philosopher must realize that that. too,
is something to rejoice about in the
sad hour of parting. Only q nation
sound and strong could bring forth such
characters. Weak states do not pro-
duce unselfish heroes. America demon
strates her strength in them be they
living or dead They were her own,
and she grieves for them because they
were deserving The other members
of the earth-wide commonwealth will

them and of the comfort inherent in
the companionship of her universal

Ohio Test Rejected.

Governor Davey of Ohio has finally
and formally determined that the elec-
ton of Representative at large to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Representative Truax, Democrat, shall
not be held until next year. Presumably
this meets with the favor of the Demo-
cratic national leaders and the admin
istration. The Ohio Governor makes
out a good case for not holding a
special election at this time: Its cost
to the taxpayers of Ohio, that an
additional Democratic member of the
House is not needed, and that all of the
congressional districts in the State are
represented. Unfortunately, however, it
is just at this time that Governor
Davey has come to Washington, made
his peace with President Roosevelt and
obtained the promise of $4,000 900 of
public money to spend in Ohio. There
may, indeed, have been no agreement
to withhold test of the Roosevelt New
Deal at the polls in Ohio. The impress
sion left on the public mind, however,
is none too good.
Chairman Fletcher of the Republican
National Committee issued a statement
virtually charging that the Ohio Gov
ernor had shaken down the Roosevelt
administration to the tune of 10000, 900
in payment for not calling special
election at this time. True or not, the
circumstances in which the promise of
the $4,000 900 was made lend color to
the charge There is also the implied
suggestion that after the $4,000 900 has
been expended in Ohio, Democratic
chances of success at the polls may be
greater.
A Statewide election in Ohio, such
as would be brought about in the con-
test for the Truax seat in the House,
would help to clear the atmosphere.
Reports are multiplying that the Roose-
welt New Deal and the President him.
self have lost heavily in popularity in
TeC6IlI UIOIltIlS. 1llC -CASSeAOAA AAA
Rhode Island two weeks ago showed a
tremendous turnover of public senti-
ment in the last nine months, a turn
against the administration. This same
dissatisfaction with the New Deal has
sprung up in the Middle West and the
West, it is reported. The Democrats
have only to put the matter to the test
and still these reports by victory in
Ohio. There is always the chance they
may not have victory, however, or
may gain a victory by so narrow a
margin as to be virtually defeat. The
practical politicians say they have much
to lose and perhaps little to gain.
Yet a Democratic victory in Ohio
might be of enormous psychological
value to the New Deal at this particular
juncture. After all, postponement of
the election may be merely matter of
putting off the evil day, so far as the
Democrats are concerned. So slight has
been the opposition to Roosevelt and
his New Deal-until recently-that the
Democrats may have grown overcon-
fident. 1t is time they found out
whether the American people object to
being the subject Of fanciful and i'm
practical experiments The test, SO far
as Ohio is concerned, seems to have
been finally rejected.
