 "Disraeli the Jew became prime minister of England, the most exalted of all Eng fish political honors, within some twenty years after Jews were first allowed po- litical liberty and could sit in Parliament without taking the ancient oath, upon my honor as Christian, and less than twenty years later Lord Rosebery, the son-in-law of a Jew, became likewise prime minister. thereby fulfilling in part a boast of his col lege-days that he would marry the great est heiress in England, win the Derby and be prime minister all of which came lit- erally to pass. In these days Jews are conspicuous in the inner circle the social holy of holies, of court society in England, a privilege which has never been enjoyed by any American except MT.

 Thus has England liberty-loving Eng land, the freest country in the world dealt with its Roman Catholics and Jewish in- habitants; and thus is there reason for pleasing reflections the world over that an- other Jew has been made an hereditary leg islatcr of Great Britain"
