THE ACTIVE sCHATCHEN.

An example of this pernicious activity Of the
schatchen is furnished by Mrs ,;osalie Loew Whit
ney former attorney Of the Legal Aid Society Mrs.
Whitney said:i
'I knew a girl-she came to my Office for as
sistance fnally-who was besieged for years by a
schatchen She had saved tiny sum- not more
than 500. and this the object Of the schatch-
ems efforts. For a long time she resisted his
matrimonial offers. She realized the game; she
knew she not very young and not very at
tractive But finally the constant appeals Of the
schatchen persuaded her against her wish. She
married a man who wasted her little dowry shar-
ing # with the schatchen, and then deserted her.
She came to me destitute and seeking to find legal
machinery to compel the husband TO support her
and her child. Moreover. am convinced, alike by
the cases that had while with the Legal Aid So
cety and by the recent printed accounts that there
are schatchens who operate upon ignorant girls in
q wholesale fashion. providing Illegal marriages and
Illegal divorces and every sort of device, always
terminating in the plundering and subsequent de-
sertion Of the victim"
II the schatchen is the advance agent of
bigauy the rabbinicaI divorce is the chief method
by which he operates. In Russia and in most
countries from which the Jewish immigrant comes

the state. The right of the rabbi to marry and to
divorce is equally embodied in the laws Of the
try. a Hebrew who secures from rabbi the get
that is the rabbinical divorce is legally qualified

justified in q second matrimonial venture. In
America. Of course, divorce is civil process. The
Jew who IS married by rabbi is legally married
in America as In Russia But when he gets a rab-
bnical divorce and he and his wife both acquire
new partners both have committed bigamy More

THE SON OF A swoRoMAkER"
A GOOD STORY.

Whatever critics may say Of our
Kentuckian's stories, they will never
accuse him OF want OF invention or
industry. His books appear as regu.
larry as babies do in the home Of the
protelarian. But this story is different
from any that Mr.. Read has written,
both in subject and treatment. There
is nothing blood-curdling or even
startling in the book. The story Is
told with commendable reserve, a sort
OF Roman GOODNESS which is quite
pleasing. There are some good
thoughts. too, scattered throughout the
volume, wise sayings like these:
Long ago had learned that in the
Army there was one quality that avail.
ed nothing-the quality Of modesty,
You have Travelled about the world. but
you have never been able 20 sail out
beyond your creed"
A Roman youth named Eradmus
having been brought up without SYM
pathetic home influence, starts out as
q soldier to Britain which was then
being subjugated. He has been edu-
Gated in hardness, and regards mill
tary life as the only life compatible
with true bravery and manliness. II
may seem to the reader that Eradmul
is unnaturally cruel and that his pleas,
ure in taking human life could not b.
possible to the intelligent Roman oil
his day, but, sad to say, man can b.
educated into the most inhuman state
of mind by ethical or religious con-
cepts. No word Of mercy could have
