Up in, and around New York City,
the hub of the Jewish world, comic
thing happened. A gentle, by the
name of Walter Levy of Long Island
applied to the County Court for per-
mission to change his surname to
Lehigh, but the Judge, also a gentle,
decided against the petition; while
the petition of Jewish Clement Levy
to change his name to Lovejoy was
granted by a supreme court justice,
also Jew.
The decision of the Jewish judge was

is no such distinction between Hebrew
and gentle in the present day of our
civilization. The American spirit knows
no race or class distinction. The faith
ers guaranteed freedom of religion in
the first article of the Constitution
and there is no evidence in our pub
lie life to-day to show that people dis
criminate against man because of
his race or faith Whether the SEN
timent given expression to in the OPP
inion corresponds with the cold facts
of life, may be a matter of dispute,
but it cannot be denied, that the de-
cisions of our courts ought to bear
traces of this sentiment, even if rend-
cred by Jewish Judge.
