Open Letter

On more than one occasion recently one Of our COM
peiiors has referred TO Juneau grocery merchant
"Imiiaiors" and as dispensers Of cheap" foods.
We realize most level headed persons know thai such
statements only the squawks Of dsgrunied competitor
whose prices identical articles advertised have been CUT
We don't know whether store is the referred to- new
erheess have undeprced Identical acles sold by our
squawkng competitor and believe such may be the cause
Of the complaint But as AL Smith used to say LET'S look
at the record"
We buy the very best foods obainabe. We add fair
profit everything sold We have complied with 0PA rules
and regulations. Never to knowledge have quoted
aprice in Of 0PA ceiling prices; and have
had complaint from the 0PA Of excessive
price being charged.
Our motto during Is years Of food retailing has been
First Fine clean foods Second Reasonable prices that are
fair to the and TO the merchant and Third Good
clean courteous service.
Perhaps should ignore the petty events leading up
to this message; but feel thai the public Of Juneau and
particularly our customers are entitled to know the facts
Our business has grown and propered and satisfied custom
ers have made both possible.
Thank you.

Roland Hayes To
Make Comeback
In Detroit May 6

Roland Hayes. the distinguished
tenor who will appear here at the
Masonic Auditorium. Saturday eve
ming, May 6. is doing something
that no other great concert artist
has ever done hithcrto-he is COM
ing back successfully to the concert
stage after several years OF retire
ment
Five years ago when Hayes con-
sidered himself financially able to
retire he purchased a splendid es-
tate in his native state, where he
and his wife had hoped that they
might live in tranquility and hap
pincss until the end OF their days,
but old demon prejudice would not
have it so. The Hayes spent APP
proXimately Sl50.000 for a magnifi-
cent home in Georgia which they
were compelled to sell for less than
one-tenth the purchase price after
miserable experience with jealous
white citizens and brutal police OF
the back country settlement in
which they lived II is needless TO
again repeat the manner in which
Roland Hayes was beaten and jailed
for reSenting insults 10 his wife
Finding his native state unwilling
10 treat him decently as a success
full Negro. Roland HAYES sold out"
and departed Next, he thought that
he might recover his losses bv play
ing the stock market Again he met
defeat Finally Hayes realized that
the best way 10 recover his lost
fortune was back on the concert
stage Determined 20 succeed again
in the one game that he knew best
he spent the entire year 1912 re-
hcarsing for his comeback Today
Roland Hayes is in more demand
than ever As the New York Times
so eloquently put it: Despite the
emergence Of new crop Of Negro
vocalists there still remains a place
AT the top for the artist who was
the first great tenor OF his race"

Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-09-24

Suetonius or if he didn't himself do the killing.
he instigated it, If he didn't instigate IL, at
least he knew il was planned. Or If that isn't
strictly true, adds the hopeful accuser, at least
he spoke about Claudus insultingly after he was
gone and ignored or revoked many of his DEGREES,
and inCosed the place of his cremation with
wall much too low 10 be dignIfied
We notice that Suetonius reports incidents
which whether true not, neither he nor any
one else could witness. He ascribes personal mo-
tiNes 10 men long in their graves, with whom he
never talked, and whose character, otherwise
established. makes the vilainous portrait in
credible. Yet since scandalous pages good
reading, those Roman Caesars remain early
models of depravity, not to he rivaled until later
scandal-chroniclerS mishandled the lives of men
and women in the Renaissance.
The Christian historians condemned Nero, prop
ery enough for the prosecutions which he author
lied Other Caesars made similar attempts to
suppress the new religion. but Nero's burnngs,
nhangingS and decapitationS earned distinction in
u -ickedneSS because st. Peter and St. Paul were
among his victims We are dealing here not with
scandal, but with history. And there is no doubt
about Neros reputation being severely blighted
by his religious intolerance.
SuetoniuS tells truth when he says that Nero
was devoted TO athletic exercises, skful in ham
ding horses, fond of driving his own chariot in
public races. He IS correct also when he says
the Emperor had talent for acting, that he liked

provement was thought of after the great confla-
grafton which Suetonius attributes to him.
The charge is that Nero set fire to the city
openly that no one dared interrupt him, and
for almost week he stood on hill to enjoy the
view. The origin of the blaze is unknown, but
Suetonus pinned the incident once for all on Nero
by saying that while watching the flames he
called for his Tyre, put on the costume he always
at concert appearances, and sang the story
of the fall of Troy
Doubtless Suetonus would have said that Nero
fddled while Rome burned, if there had been at
that time any fiddles The worst he could charge
him with was plucking a Tyre.
We check up the disposition to smrch
Nero by what Suetonius says about OctaviuS
Augustus-that powerful and farsighted ruler
who gave Rome what is called its Augustan age
who preserved peace throughout the Empire when
its borders extended tc the limits of the known
world, who administered the public business with
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-09-24

In the very important life
of Vergil, to which indebted for much of
the little we know about the great poet, read
some paragraphs which we'd rather interpret as
Suetonian scandal than truth.
Horace may seem to get off more easily than
Vergil but SuetoniuS tells the facts in his own
way He says that Horace was turncoat. Later
according to this scandal, he "insnuated himself
into the good opinion of Maecenas and Of Au-
guStuS. Neither is true
We all know the Sabine farm, presented to
him by Maecenas. a place where life was led
simply and without any orgies
Yet Suetonius can't resist reporting that Hor-
ace entertained ladies there in groups and always
in room lined with mirrors. Sabine farm!
BY professional historians Suetonius is still
mentioned with respect. Professional historians
we may conclude human
