Word comes from Boston that:


"Shakespeare's The Merchant of Ven.
ice may be barred from the public schools
of Boston. The matter is under consid-
Grafton by the School Committee. The
use of the play has been protested upon
the ground that it contains much objec.
tionable material for the mind of young
persons. 1t would be far better, say the
critics from the school boards in other
cities, that expurgated editions of Shakes
peare be used in public schools and The
Merchant OF Venice be taken from the
list"
Those who have not read 1.-THE Mer-
chant OIL Venice" will read it now, sure.
Boston is the city where culture is so
acute and virtues so sensitive that their
censors had to put pants on the heroic
marbles in the Museum of Art.

Dillingham; Won His Own Fight

The attempts to elect another man by
tearing down the long, honorable and
able career of Senator Dillingham; was
resented by many Vermonters. The re.
suit was the best argument for fair and
decent politics that has ever been heard
IN this state. Senator Dillingham;, be-
cause of the remarkable campaign he
made, is in closer touch than ever with
the people of Vermont. His earnest
speeches, in which he stood squarely on
HE record, frankly telling the people why
he voted on different measures as he did,
undoubtedly won him many votes
