C)ifictt t n j Itesiiienco Vietovla St The city of Buffalo has placed its ban on The Merchant of Venice, be- cause Rabhi Israel objected t I 'Shakespeare's gleraRtior'za.'lif9At .of the Jew in Shylock, alleging that it stirred up hatred and prejudice. Al well ban the bible because of Judas, Faust beacuse of Mephisto, Dickens because of Fagin, Uncle Tom's Cabin because of Simon Legree or any otic, er book or author because of the heavy vn.lian: Shylock is not is lov- ely character by any means, but Shakespeare made him an object of pathos as well as scorn and put in his mouth the strongest arguments ever advanced against anti-Senriti i prejudices. The Rabbi says that Shakespeare never saw a Jew; that Jews did not go to England until 1675 and that, anyway, Shylock is not a JCwislt name. All right. But why allege thrtt the play inflames hatred and prejudice? Shakespeare's works are more widely rend now than they were in his own day, or fci a century thereafter, and in no country have the Jews prospered more than in Shakespeare's 'England. where one once became Prime Minis- ter and two are now members of th;1 government. That result was not achieved by banning The Merchant of Venice. At -a. St. Andrew's Sinner 'in the capital, some twenty years ago, we commended- the Seat because he would stand ler a yoke at ens own expense. The late Senator Adam •Crosby, an Irishman from Halifax, followed with a speech in which he said: `:And hind you, a joke is just about the only thing a Scotchman will stand for —at his own expense." The -treating system -was in vogue then and his retort had more significance than S hes now. ' Rev. Thomas Mahon says the "Hin- dus will never become Christians, be- cause they -will never accept the ten commandments." Afiiati of break- ing them perhaps.

Large Still Seized in South Huron Last Week The largest still ever to 'be seized in Huron county was located Satur- day morning on the farm of Moses Bechler, Ilsborne township, five miles from Hensall and Bechler wee placed under. arrest.

Whether it is or not, it is e sure sign that be has a right view- point. The man who resents a jolce at his own expense (unless it is meant to be insulting) either has no sense of humor or it is under sub- jection to his vanity and conceit, Indeed it may be set down as a self- evident proposition that a man would not be vain or conceited if he had a lively sense of humor.

THE HAT TRICK At a meeting of the committee governing it local football cup com- petition objection was made to any of the officials making the draw for the next round. After heated dis- cussion it was decided to co-opt a disinterested person to conduct the draw. A cheerful old man was ask- ed to officiate, and the names of the teams were placed in a hat and mix- ed up. The hitherto noisy meeting became quiet as the old man prepared to draw out the first of the ,teams-- tradition holding that the first team out was in most cases victorious. He unfolded the tiny scrap Of paper, and astounded the eager list- eners by saying: "Six and seven - eighths." des To Set a Christmas present of A silk-and•wooden scarf, Wlould be so heterogeneous It would make a feller lar(, When John Sebastian Bach composed A monumental fugue, I•Ie said: "Mein gracious, mit ilia tint:; Such trouble have 'I toog.
