Sir WiIfrid Laurier Makes Address In
Favor Of Reciprocity.
Ottawa, Ont.-The opening gun in
the campaign which will determine
the fate Of the reciprocity agreement
between the United States and Canada
was fired on Sunday by the Liberal
leader, Sir Wilfrid Laurier. It was in
the form of an open address to the
Canadian people, and in 1t is set forth
clearly the issues involved in the
present campaign.
The question at issue is a new one
Sir Wilfrid asserts, reciprocal rela-
tons with the United States having
been sought by both parties for over
half a century. The present Conser-
vative party, he declared, is seeking
to reverse this lifelong policy Of its
leaders Of the past. The enactment
OF the agreement, the premier pre-
diets, would further improve the
friendly relations between Great Brit
ain, Canada and the United States
and would be an important factor in
bringing about a general treaty OF
arbitration.

The Salem will Join the Chester.

policy in sending swift and capacious
cruisers to Hayti is based on the sus.
picions that these vessels may be

coast cities where most of the Euro

zinc specimen of . Man.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In a communication in your "Ros-
trum' concerning the Merchant Of
Venice" a gentleman spoke concerning
Shylock as a poor character to be
placed before the school children as
a fitting example of a Jew.
Shylock, permit me to say, is one
of Shakespeare's finest characters. In
stead of being a poor specimen Of a
Jew, he is, on the contrary, a fine spe-
cimen of a man in every way. His be-
lief in his religion. his love for his de-
parted wife. his frankness, his love for
his daughter. even though she has
o%verthrown him, and the power he pos
sessed to look forward in his business
transactions speak truly of a a a
man rather to be put before a class of
school children as an ideal Jew than
one to be placed on the shelf as a very
poor specimen of a Jew. NJ. S. S,

While I know that a teachers lot.

privileges that are denied to thousands

There are thousands in this city who

Then these same thousands of work.
ers are not so absolutely sure of their
pay as the teachers are. The teachers
work for a concern that will never go
through insolvency proceedings. An
other thing, the teachers have a re-
tirement fund to fall back upon when
they become useless. And this while
they are in receipt of good pay as long
as they behave themselves. So while
their lot may not be happy in some
respects, they are to be envied in many
other respects. o. H.
