DOUGLAS BEATS MOOSE IN GAME
 OF SENSATIONS
First Contest Played on Island Grounds Is Hot
 One All Around

Claude Erskine banged out a big two bagger in the last half of the last inning of last nights ball game, to break up the tied score, set off Douglas on a booming bust and bury the Moose invasion of the Island City four to three on the Island diamond.
 Ersk.ne went home with the first Island tally in the first inning when Big Andy" Andrews singled him in from second. Douglas added two more and the Moose got their first in the fourth frame; Jack Scmitz counting for the Paps and An drews and Jim Paine for the Is- landers

Stew enson popped to Bonner to bring up Hawkins with two out. Hawk ins worked a three and two count, then picked out one of Erskine's finest and sent it for long ride to the buildings in centerfield. A double for Hawkins. two run ners counted and the score was squared three to three. Converse hit to short for the third out
 DolDn to Business
 With extra innings in the offing, Douglas got down to some quick business in their half. Stevenson juggled Rollers grounder. Jensen worked a stroll to fill first and second. Then Erskine clouted his long one to left field and the game was wrapped up for Douglas, still the Leagues top team.
 Jim Paine led all hitters with two singles and a double in three turns at the plate, Erskine coming next with three connections in four trips. Hawkins got one baser and a two-baser to pace the Moose. Jack s cm itz started on

that stems 500 from Latin; the Ro-
man alphabet and calendar, and
Christianity are the heritage of
Americans today" He says: ANY in
fluence that Latin had on the English
language must be traced to a much
later date-the Norman conquest and
the influence of the Roman church F"
The writer sticks to the statement,
but will stand corrected if Prof. H.
]. Leon of the Department of CLASH
cal languages, University of Texas,
says so. Prof. Leon sets us Alright
on other statements:
Yours is one of the few newspaper
columns which this busy professor has
time to read regularly.
You indicate that the Romans did
not adopt the 12-month calendar un-
til the Julian calendar. Since this
calendar first went into effect in As
b. C., 1t might be awkward to explain
the numerous references to January
and February which we find in the
Roman literature long before that
date. AS a matter of fact, the 10
month year goes back to prehistoric
period, and some historians even cues
ton 1t altogether. The Roman year
of the historical period had IL
months, the first of which was March,
the Spring month. AS February
was the last month, it was shorter
than the others to make the wear
come out right, and to it were at
tached the intercalary days of leap
years. Since the year began with
March, September was the seventh
month and so got it's name. BY 1853
3. =. January l came to the first of
the year. The reason for the change
is not known.
The other day you indicated that
the tradition that Cleopatra commit
ted suicide by letting a snake bite her
is false. You also left the impression
that the story originated with Shak-
espeare. Whether the story was true
or not, the contemporary Romans be-
Ileved It, Horace's jubilant ode.
Nunc est bibendum, which was writ
ten when the news OF Cleopatra's
oeath reached Rome, refers to this
as the manner of her death. Plut-
arch repords the tradition, but ex-
presses doubt. Modern historians are
equally uncertain, but the conserva-
tive Lubker in his Realkexikon ac-
cepts it as a fact"
Yes, but it is possible that the le-
gend started with an error made bv
Horace. Poets are notoriouslv mac
curate historians.

Prof, Leon is going to write-a-wronp

OTHERS VIEWS

STATE DEMOCRATS UNITING.
To the Editor:
The Democratic campaign in North
Carolina is gradually assuming a win
ming completion. It is being wisely
promoted and the Die Hards and dis
satisfied elements that were quite
numerous two months ago are rapidlv
becoming reconciled to the failure of
their candidate to win the nomina-
ton and they are falling in line be-
hind Mr.. Hoey and the other State
candidates, that is very gratifying to
the party leaders. This is true of both
the Mcdonald and Graham followers,
1t indicates an old-time Democratic
majority in the Old North States from
President on down the line to town
ship constable.
The prompt and enthusiastic &C
ceptance by DR.. Mcdonald of Chair
man Wilbourne's invitation to speak
for the party during the campaign
is going to have a very favorable in
fluence on his more than two hundred
thousand followers. He will hardly be
able to lead all his followers into the
regular Democratic fold, but the
small number who refuse to follow
him will not contribute much to the
election of Honorable Gillian Girls
som, the Republican nominee for the
governorship.
While Sandy Graham has not been

accused OF any outstanding activity
in behalf of Mr.. Hoey up to now, his
friends say he will be out on the
stump at the proper time, extolling
the virtues and availability of Mr..
Eoey, in his old-time enthusiastic
manner. With his two chief opponents
lined up behind him, Candidate Hoey
will have much palmer sailing in flu
ture than he has had in recent
months.
democrats coming into Raleigh
bring encouraging reports from the
hinterland. Predictions of majorities
for Mr. Hoey run all the way from
fifty to two hundred thousand. The
veteran newspaper man, Tom Bost,
thinks Hoey will get very large ma
jority in November. He has been a
very careful observer of political re-
suits for many years and his predic-
tions In the past have proved fairly
accurate.
The Republicans of North Carolina
believe every word of the extravagant
reports coming out of the National
Republican headquarters and their
hopes are CORRESPONDENCE high. They
are already eatinf the fruits of the
victory they will fail to win by more
than a hundred thousand Democratic
majority. This is simply not a Re-
publican year in North Carolina, the
voters are going to return their Dem
ocratic friends to power on November

SCHOOL DAYS.

The days may seem hard
And the work is in vain
But as long as you think this,
Nothing will you gain.
Your algebra may be tiresome
And you don't want to do your part
You'd better change your mind
And make a good start.
Some children don't go to school to
work,
They only go to play,
They sit in school having fun,
And wasting all the day.
Now if they would sit down and think
How they were wasting their lives
away,
They would gladly change their minds
And go to work today.
Of course they're young and can't see
But the old people can in sorrow
show
How they grabbed the demon of
waste
And would not let him go.
Thomas Robertson.

hopes. The Democrats were disap-
pointed because they were beaten.
SIZE OF MAJORITY COUNTS
The expression "As Maine goes, so
goes the nation" is not to be inter
preted as meaning that a mere Re
publican victory in the Pine Tree
state foreshadows a Republican vic
tory throughout the country. Maine
almost always goes Republican, even
in Democratic years. The touchStOne
is the size of the Republican ma
jority.
If it is big one in September, the
supposition Cor superstition) is that
the country will go Republican in No
vember. If it is a small one the theory
is that the national verdict will be
Democratic.
The reliability of the test probably
is about on a par with that of the be-
lief that it is bad luck to walk under
ladder. Politicians are the same
way regarding Maine. They are not
genuinely convinced that GAS Maine
goes, so goes the nation" Still, they're
eemi-convinced.
BOTH SIDES INFLUENCED
The Republicans registered the in
fluence of this complex by the a.
mount of money they poured into the
recent Pine Tree campaign.
The cratically-dominated cam
paign investigating committee under
Senator Augustine Lonergan's chair
manship revealed the extent of G..
O.. P. liberality by it's disclosure of
contributions from such anti-New
Dealerish sources as the duPonts, the
Rockefellers and the Morgans.
Because it is Democratically dom
mated the committee did not men
lion how muchS>the administration
was spending at the same time and
in the same area, on "Quoddy," on re-
lief and on similar benefits, but G.
must have run into eight figures at
least.
MONEY WASTED"
Neither side got it's full moneys
worth.
A Republican victory in Maine
should be by aHmargin of approx
mately $4,000. -
The e. Q. P.'s victory the other day,
on its best candidates was by a scanty
10000. 1t was substantial but not spe-
tacular, and landslide was what the
Republicans had been yearning" for.
And Wallace H. White, Jr's re-elec-
ton to. the Senate by a majority of
only approximately 5000 over Cover
nor Louis j. Bran was triumph to
be Repu5licanly Dragged about hardly
more than if Brann, the Democrat,
had won. That is to say, if Maine
cannot go Republican by more than
5000 in September the conclusion is
that the nation should go Democratic
in November.
