GHOST WRITER'S

The employment of ghost writer's"
by statesmen and others to write speeches
fer them is a very ancient custom, accord
ing to Senator Ashurst of Arizona, who
himself is one Of the greatest of contem-
porary orators.
He said it seemed well established
that Nero, the Roman emperor, delivered
speeches writes by his prime minister,
Seneca, and that Julius Caesar had a
ghost writer named Hirtius. Ashurst
quoted Senator Vandenberg as authority
for the statement that Alexander Hamil-
ton wrote all but for lines of George Wash
ington's famous Farewell Address.
The ghost writer's have often caused
their clients much embarrassment by crib
bing from the writings of others. The
most tragic instance of the sort is told of
Speaker John White of the Twenty Fifth
Congress, who employed writer to pre-
pare his farewell speech to the House.
1t seems, Ashurst said, that the writer
copied extensively from the farewell adj
dress of President Aaron Burr, de-
livered before the Senate in 1905. When
the source Of the language used was dis
covered, White was $50 overcome with
modification and disgust that he COM
mitted suicide
Which is a warning that if states
man must have ghost writer he should be
careful to select one that won't let him
down.

Once this writer was told by man
who had just refused loan to friend:
II kept friend today and made $25 be-
sides" That might apply to nations as
well especially Latin American countries
who would eagerly accept loans and Just
as eagerly delay their payment. Our little
sister, Cuba, for instance. owes big TIC
Samuel more than $3,O00,000 with interest
that owing to the passing years has itself
grown into an appreciable sum of money.
However, If it is found advisable to extend
long-term loans to South American repub-
lies to counteract the barter deals of these
republics with the totalitarian states Of
Germany and Italy. some way should be
aund to guard against losses by exercising
control over the purposes to which the bor-
owed money would be put.

Winston Salem
Especial to The Post)

Winston-Salem, Nov. 8.-Caro-
lina's unbeaten aerial circus and
Davidson colleges Wildcats will
renew their old gridiron rivalry
in Bowman Gray stadium Satur-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Davidson, hurting back with a
smashing victory over The Cita-
del Saturday, sharpened their
aerial attack to match that of the
powerful Carolina team and pro-
missed air warfare for the fans of
Northwest North Carolina.
Jim Lalanne, hailed as Ameri-
cas- number one passer and rated
by many as greater than Sammy
Baugh, and George Stirnweiss,
the Flying Dutchman, are expec-
ted to carry the main passing
burden for the Tar Heels against
Granville Sharpe's losses for the
Wildcats.
The game, held annually in
Winston-Salem until 1922 when
the teams battled to a scoreless
tie, will be the first appearance
of a Carolina team in Northwest
North Carolina since that ime.

IF NOT A GAME THEN A HOBBY

Know no more delightful way to spend an evening than chatting with this re- markable youth He plays his round of golf nearly every day. He col lects rare books by way of avoca- tion, and conducts considerable correspondence with other collec- tors in reference to, prized items the one has and the other wants. His memory of events of history which have occurred in the course of his lifetime is extraordinary and uncanny in relation to detail. Only one drawback about conversing with the man-makes me blush to think know how to live.
