A PLEA FOR SHYLOCK
'
By CHARLOTTE D.
R.A Y
ENTURIES of oppression and wrong have
given to the world a sad and woeful· history
of the Jewish race. It hru; been hindered hy evory
obstacle that scorn and hatred could devise; and it
has returned hatred for hatred and scorn for co rn .
The pages of history have given no truer represent a·
tion of a tortured and downtrodden nRtion than we .
find in Shylock. that wonderful creation in fktion .
In that single li(e is portrayed the burning hatr<'d
and outrage of the whole Hebrew race; a r1u:e that
has been corned. scoffed at. insulted. and at which
the poisoned darts of persecution
have been hurled with deadly in·
tent.
hylock stands as the type
of his race, an individual with a
nation· history.
It i my purpose to awaken your
pity for Shylock, for many are the
wron~~:s that lmvo been heaped
upt>n him. I believe he wa an
ill·u ed. poor old man , "nn Jess
sinned ngqinst than si nning."
You immediately cry out. that he
was 1\ usurer nnd obtained his
Jiving by illegl\1 mean . What
bnt the persecution of Christians
compelled him t.o liv~ &~ · the ' in·
Charlotte
terest of his 'tiioneys ·?'· Kg~1n, y·ou
say he was o fultof 'r(n·engc that there WII.S no em·
blance ' of nu'nialitty' . in him. Why? Het•ause his
abusers, tH .sb same'.Chti tians, insulted him, mo ked
him, spat upon him . We would pity a· tremblin~~:.
crouch in~~: dog; kicked and b •at en by the cruel lnsh ;
a poor dlll:nb creatu re that cannot retaliate for· lack
of power. .ftow much keener the st!ng felt by the
sensitive ~uruan heart endowed with nil the finer
feelings that ml\ke it susceptible to insult and in·
jury! The most re pon ive nature under long·c:on· .
tinned vituperation becomes unyieldiog- hari.lened .
What one of u , marting tfnlier the indigniti es of
continued outrage. would not have been a ' hylo ·k !
C

It is impo. sihle to realize the burning hatred in the
wild of that dark. suspicious nature, till we can
on '(!ivc somt>thiug of the Joss and shame heaped
upon, focused upon, one man. Hut there comes a
time when Shylock turns to stem the flood of abuse.
R vcnge tingles in every nerve of his being. Re·
venge for · what ? For spite. Is that contrary to
human nature? There is nothing unnatural or un·
u unl about that. Whe.n Antonio comes to him and
a. k: for help, and he reminds him that "on the last .
Wedncs lny he spat upon him, and spurned him, and
called him cut· throat, dog," what
i Antonio's answer ? "I am as
like to spit upon thee and spurn
thee again." Was not that the
rankest injustice ? Who wus it
but one of Antonio's fai th that
Aneered at his creed and alienated
the afTnction of his daughter- hi s
only · t•hild- upon whom he had
lavi hcd all his parantal Jove '!
She was the solace of his home.
By clandestine meetings she bad
been enticed away. And when be
says ~ Salarino, my daughter~s
flight . vas known to you, be throws
out
the t\ruel jest, "I knew the
D. Re..y.
tailor that made the wingt~ where·
withal she Jlew.''
Like the Puritan, Shylock was made up of two
nature : the one proud ancl inflexible, the other
humble and tender. Does it not show a good trait
of character that he is deeply grieved when he
knows thu t his way":'ard child has been willing to
part with her m·o ther's ring ? All the luxuries of
Venice could not be clearer to him than his ducats,
nnd the precious, precious jewel-given him by hi!!_
dead wUe: but he -loves far- mo~ _his -daughter . .----~
Though the unpardonable offense of disrespect . to
par •nt has boen committed, yet the tie thAt binds
fat.her to daughter is inexpressibly ~ear. Thongh

mwor shaken; and in the succeeding years of lifo he
labored to realize those ideals.
The tory of hi career a president comes like a
benediction into one of the most . tirring epoch of
our nation's hi tory. In tho e days when strong
men tremuled and brave men feared, when the na·
tion wore an a pect of somberness and anxiety.
when both statesman and linancier feared t he
events of a. day, and when the horizon of our future
was obscured by a cloud of donut. Willia111 McKinley stood calm, couragcons and steadfast-a bulwark of loyalty, honor and devotion. against which
the arrows of opposition were as in effectual as the
darts of a Lilli put. Opposed by. partisan and politician and aided by only a few faithful advisors, almost single-han ded and alo ne, he gnided the shit> of
state through the tempestuous breakers of malice
and reproach into the calm harbot· of peace.
Though urged to hasty notion by over-zealous
con1patriot.s. though maligned by jealous rivals and
captious critic • though falsely accu ed by imp~­
tient fanatics, a nd mi repro en ted nnd villilied by a
ca.bal of petty and plotting politicians. who e poi·
sonous arrows wounded uaught but his nol~ le and
sensitive oul. he li toned patiently to all who caught
his ear, calmly wcigbetl their argum ent:! and in the
sineerity' of dispassionate reaso n announced his co n·
viction with a erenity and dcliueration born of a
purity of ideals and loyalty of soul: No pre ure
of friends, no 1\Ssault of enemies, no temptati on
of ambition could s way hint from the path of duty .
Despising ~lisloyalty and prete.nce he tood through ·
out tho e days which tried men's souls, patient and
re ourceful, with a confidence begotten of a clea r
conscience. and with a firm trust that the God of na·
tions would justify his .co n rs~ in the. events of the
future.
Patriotism, not imperinlism. detcrminud hi foreign p<.licy. The consequences 'of war he accepted
with the same singlene s or purpo with which he
their civili:.mtion aud to aid them in securing greater ·
freedom than they had heretofore .kuowu. In the
r ecent international episode in China it was through
hi policy that the intervention of ecretary Hay
elevated the standard of diplomacy and brought the
United States to be the moral leader of the nations.
His state papers. which will live as imperishable .
mounmeuts to hi wisdom and patriotism, are reen forced b.v that farow<'ll speech which appealed to
Providence to sustain the nations in their struggle
fot· highet· ci\·ili:-.ation.
No presi len t except Lincoln has had to face more
dillicult problems i~volving the unity of tho people
a nd the prosperity of the country than did William
McKinley. Yet since the days of Washington no
president harl fewer perso nal enemies. There is an
entire luck of bitterness toward the late head of the
nation ; for his beautiful character there is an admiration not limited by the artificial bonndary of
class or party. Behind McKinley the president stood
McKinley the man. In all his publi c life. whether
as soldier, lawyer or s tatesman, whether as a repro·
sen tative, g()vernor or president, he was an exemplary citizen . There was not a time when he cou ld
uot look tho world in the face and ay, these hands
are clean.
The pre ident ·reveal ed his true character in the
\"cry struggle for his ()Wrt life, when. looking upon
his !LS as in, with Christlike charity he said. "May
God forgiv e him." then with words ureathing the
spirit of fraternity aud peace, " Let uo man hurt
him .' ' Shame forever upon those pnlpit.'l which
cried, " f"'yn ·h the assassin ." Is that not the very
spirit of anarchy ? As the dcar.b of Lincoln sounded

THE NORM.'\L POINTER.
that education was the sheet anchor of our common·
wealth, they established college -rocks, Lirm and
immovable, the foundation of our republic.
To the Puritans we owe our right to be called a
Christain nation . Wherever tbc~e righteous heroes
went. a church was founded . With God's word a
a lamp to their feet, they journeyed h·om the Alleghenies to the .' ierras. established free school . free
churches and pure homes-the clement of a model
republic.
If our nation is to maintain and exalt her po ition
more of the Puritan spirit must be inculcated,
changed by the changing time, not to destroy cathedrals or art. bm to regenerate the de e.c mted abbath and drive out the e\·ils "in high place!>." Om·
work differs from that of our forefathers. We eck
not a new go.v ernment, but the preservation aud
purification of our national life. The wo1·ship of
Mammon. the weakening of faith in the Highest
wisdom, the loss or the boundary line between virtue and vice,-the e are the foe which wrought the
downfall of Rome, and which tlm~aten the lire or
America. Are we blind to the faults or OUl' COUll·
try ? Much of the political life i lead by the pa ioDB
of the hour. Thoughtful aDd judicial Cttlement or
a measure is too . eldom attempted in the arena of
politics. Artful demagogues with noisy clamor appeal to the passions of the day. to the confusion
and di may of the few who bold to rea on
and to the ideal.
Are we to be guided hy
sensationalism and ca_ll it democracy ? Must the precincts of our legislative chambers and justice halls be
contaminated by bribery ? Wha_t i the mes age of
Puritanism in ~hi emergency? Olivrr Cromwell
would have the laws of his Dati>e land conformable
to the just and righteous laws of God. OoeR the
government of our great cities accord with the
Higher law? History warns u that we mu t bring
our religion into closer touch with our politics, for
•·the nation that forgets God. it shall perish." The
ship of state floats on the ocean of destiny. Black
clouds of anarchy and socialit~m have appeared on
the horir.on .
tormy waves of corruption threaten
to drive her on the ~ocks. Courageous, Christian
pilots are ever· needed at her helm.
America abounds in mtln who are above temptation, whom Dotbi.ng can divert from righteousness.
When the insidious arts of Tammany had coiled li\te
a snake about the heart of onr metropolis, pois~ning
our whole natioD, then with Titanic power men of
the Puritan spirit arose and attacked the monster.
May the strength of principle which scorns all political trickery, may thatChristian compassion which
guarantee justice even to a guilty anarchist ever
actuate the life of our nation.
We who boast the spirit of sires like these should
hould the tempting world
hold to their ideals.
weaken our Christian purpose, let us look to Plymouth Rock and renew the vow our fathers breath~d
to God. Let us, in the most op~n, solemn manner,
with o:erene faith and fortitude, drive from America's gates the evils which threaten her downfall .
God has given her wealth. liberty and power. It behooves her to walk aright. through victory and de·
feat, through sorrow and joy, through war and
pence, directed by the Guide of her fathers, the
King of Kings. Let U!l hr>ld as a divine trust our
sacred birthright, then Columbia, in her strength
and beauty, will !!heel the light of liberty on all the
natioDs of the world, and future generations will be
iuspired by the courage, the patriotism and the
righteousness of the Pigrim Fathers. Not for them
need columns of marble and granite. be raised . Their
monument is greater, nobler, grander-America,
the temple of liberty.

rights of the individual and at the a me time harmonip~sl~ adji]Sts his duties an_~ ~l l!!iO.!!_S to soCiety and
to the state. It i a climax in the evolution of law. It
represents tho con ummntion of all that has been ·
gained \n the science of law through all the centuries. It is the true t expr sion of that instict ·for
ociety and ocial order which led the first men to
seek their common welfare under the bonds of law.
Thus, law ha.s been a growth. It wa.s crude and
imple when men were crude and imple. Whe1.1
egoism pre>ailed law demanded "an eye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth !" With the growth of the
spirit of altruism it de Jared, ' -Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself." Throughout the generations
that have seen nation in revolt and witnessed the
rise and fall of empires, thi sacred heritage of law
bas continued in uninterrupted development,
and at all times ha been the means whereby the
central thread of the ocial fabric has endurecl, unbroken. Today one cannot but be impre ed by its
all pervading power and intluence. It is the bulwark of our wonderful ocial life when society involves in its ever widening circle the bu y millions
of the world. 'l'h very least and weakest feu! its
protecting care and the great and powerful are not
exempt from it.'> control. It has dominion wherever
the feet of men have strayed, and nations as well as
individuals are its-subjects. It has been the emblem
of justice and the synonym for progres from gray
antiquity down to the present time. Today it towers
in majesty, a monument enduring through the ages,
though the foundations of the world are shaken.
And yet, the day which sees law apparently in the
period of greate t potency for its blessings to
the race, sees also, law confronted by a giant peril.
For, during the last generations there has risen up
against the law a dt-adly enemy. The teaching of
s few men who minds hacl become pregnant with a
new philosophy of human relations or perverted and
made desperate through mi fortune have sedulously
crept into the hearts of men. The new doctrine proclaims law to be the blight of humanity. It clamors
for the susJ?ension of government and the return of
mankind to a state of lawle ness and liceu e. lt
demands that the race _liltrled ba k unce more
from the heights attained through centuries of
growth down into the darkne s of primeval av-
The e teachings have found listeners among
wron s are attribute to governmental
agencies and who grasp eagerly at these new ideas,
which have firt!d them with a hope of vengeance.
Converts are made alike among the miserable subjects of despotism and the citizens of America.
Throughout the world dreams of a social revolution
followed by an Utopian absence of rank and class,
have fired the imaginations of men until today this
enemy of law controls a host of followers whose
·dominant impulse is the overthrow of law and order and whose watchword is "death." In every
land ·the high priests of this wild creed are preaching the gospel of Destruction.
The last- decade has ser\"ed to disclose more fully
the character of this doctrine o~ anarchism. It aims
first at the rulers of the world that its ultimate ends
may, with greater certainty, be attained. And never
before in the history of the world has king or president wielded the power which the sacred law bas
given him with greatet· insecurity than now. Time
and again has the bloody hand of anarchy
stretched forth and smitten down a beloved ruler.
Imagination carries us back a few months to the
scene of our national tragedy. Surrounded by tho
law-abiding thousan<:ls, encompassed on all sides by
grandeur, clothed with the power and majesty of
law, stands a nation's chief. Above him mounts
the vaulted roof of the wonderful temple of Music
-itseU the very symbol of order, of harmony, of
Law. Life, order, harmony. tranquillity are emblemized by everything about him, and he stands
there the chosen leader of a mighty nation, the embodiment of these heavenly attributes. the choicest
representative of the glory of Law.

The throng parts. He is face to face with his

other a dark-browed, gloomy outcast. The ono

freedom . Tyranny never before flouted with such
mnlicion insolence her triumph in the face of liberty.
In this manner wn committed what bas been litly
termed '.'the greatest crime of the llith century.'' A
crime, the ghastly shadow of which still beclouds
many a throne. A crime, which shrieked to heaven
for retribution, and which is answered today by the
roar of the murderous bomb or tho keen edge of the
stilleto.
The misery of the stricken people after the awhil
·catastrophe of 1791i would move the hear~ of Nero.
Tyrannic Russia forged her chai~of bondage and ·
drew them tighter day by day.
milies were rent
asunder. Cliildrun were torn fr m their mothers•
arm . Fathers were forced into til Uussian armies
and ordered to aim their guns at the breasts of thei~
countrymen . Thousands were banished to Siberia
to wear away their live in ceaseless toil. Those
that could escape. tied and roamed the world without a country. without a home, without a fri&nd . Do
you wonder that anarchy finds its champions among
these people ? Do you wonder that they aim the dagger at every nation's breast. themselves robbed of
their country'/ Can the Pole tind solar.o in Prussia's
feats of arm.? an the Pole rejoice in Austria' prosperity and splendor '! Can the Pole glory in the
power of the Hussias '? To do so. were to forget the
blazing home of Poland ; were to forget the slaughter of his father-·; were to forget the blistering tear
of the Polish mother and the ;>itiful wail of their
children .
Czolgocz! Czo~g<:JCZ! You .are not alone the a sassiu of our belovedJ>resirlent.. •Tis ·Prussia, that intilled the hate of natjon in your breast. 'Tis Austria that lit the tlame of anarchy in your brain! 'Ti
Russia. that tore the· love of country and of order
from your bosom and .placed therein the poison of
revenge ! 'Tis the world , that looked with apathy ou
these foul deeds and murmnr d not!
;No civilized nation has escaped tho punishment
which such an act as the dismemberment of Poland
merits. A people of spirit can not be deprived of
their nationality arid offered· a substitute. Anarchy
is the inevitable result. Dire, indeed, has been the
v1sitation of Heaven on tho heads of those who are
guilty of the actual crime, . as 'well as those who
looked on, but sought not to avert. The justice of
heaven falls with a lieav'y hand upon that nation
which seeks aggrandizement through the destruction of a weaker people. The· fate of Carthage
marked the fate of Rome. Spain r Wh~re is her empire now ? The shrieks of the slaughtered Incas and
Montef~Uq:J!).S ring_down the centuries o(.:,time. Their
call was answered by the hurricane of divine vengeance sweeping the ·•Invincible Armada" from
the seas; was answered by the belching cannon of
George Dewey at Manila hay ; •and will be answered
until the last vestige of that empire hM sunk into
obli\·lon, "unwept, unhonored and ·unsung."
·While the fate of Poland presents to us tlie dark·
est picture of the perfidy of nations, the brilliancy
of her career and the consequences of her fate, beqot>ath tu posterity in the former, an example worthy
of the highe t emulation. and in the latter, a lesson
or· inc. timahle value.
As L rae! gave birth to Christian civilization, as
Poland pre, erver! it from strangulation, may we
champion and uphold it:> principles for all Ume.
May thi;; nation never forget in its might ever tore·
spef't and to uphold the integrity of a sister nation.
though she lie prof!tmte at our·mercy. ~by God
