Hlstory's Pllory, Purim, 5681.
Dear Henry:
| see you are acting as my un-
derstudy. I must admit that you
are a clever imitator of my tao
tics, although you do not give me
sufficient credit as your proto-
type. l see you are mingling
truth and fiction in your charges
against Our common enemies, the
Jews, just as honestly as | did
in my palmy days. l see that
you are also depending not upon
your efforts, but upon somebody
else to do your writing for you,
just as I did. Only, Friend
Henry, I think I was more clever
than you. I used the kings
scribe, and had him foot the bill,
while you have to do it yourself.
Or is it the poor statesmen of your
"fivers" that foot the bill? |
have been wondering whether |
could have done any better if
there had been magazines in my
day. Think of what subscrip-
ton [ could have rolled up, in
the kings one hundred and seven
and twenty provinces!
But Henry, what's the use?
My own wise spouse, Zeresh,
was right. "Haman, my DEAR"
said she, eff Mordecai * * be
of the seed of the Jews, thou
shalt not prevail against him, but
shalt surely fall before him.
Now, take my advice, Ford, ana
remember what I have had to en-
dure during the last twenty-odd
centuries. Of course, I'm a little
late in giving the advice, just as
Zeresh was late in giving me her
advice. But better late than
never. Or am I fated to have
your company throughout the
centuries to come?
But come to think of it, you
still have some chance. Of
course you are getting your share
Of roasting" in the pulpit and
press. Open forums, criticism by
celebrities, the work of the anti
defamation league, all have
somewhat of a sting. While I
lon't remember getting such
reatment in old Shushan, I can
that it must be irritating
O be called un-American ana
Stacker" and Traitor" when you
re trying so hard to pose as pa
riot and public benefactor in at
acking the Jews. (That's an old
nd clever game of O1rs. vei1ino
