To Stop the Erection Of Second
Light, Heat and Power Plant
In Canton,

Judge Amber Tuesday morning dis
solved the temporary injunction which
had beon allowed in the case of Alva
Platt against the Citizens Heat, Light
& Power company. Platt is In the em-
ploy of the Canton Light, Heat g.
Power company. The principal
ground for asking an injunction was
that the people had not voted upon
the question of giving the franchise.
Judge Amber held that 1t was not
necessary to take vote and the case
was dismissed. In passing upon the
matter the court went into an exhaus-
tive review Of the case and the au-
thorities. Platt was represented by
the firm of Lynch, Day & Day and
Weber & Turner for the defendant
company.

Tobacco and Health.

In the course Of my association with
tobacco, about twenty-five years, I
have known men all this time, every

dust or fumes produced in the process
OF manufacture. Uninterrupted good
health is the general rule of all per-
sons engaged in tobacco proceedings
Of every kind. and generally of large
consumers. London Lancet

The Jewish outlook., 1905-11-24

Of trade. Without hesitation neverthe-
less, we may speak of our tradespeople,
for they are masters of the situation in
their field. 1t is fact that great deal
Of their supremacy is due to the inherited
skill evolved during long centuries of
enforced limitation to trade as a means
Of subsistence. However, the number of
Jews in business, and especially the So
called immensely rich'' tradesmen, has
been greatly exaggerated
There have been prominent Jewish
merchants in America since the early
part OF the seventeenth century We
hear of the first Jewish merchant Abra-
ham de la Simon, being brought before
Peter Stuyvesant and charged with
keeping his store open on Sunday. De
la Simon was condemned to pay fine of
six hundred guilders, then an exorbitant
sum in the little colony Gn view of re-
cent arrests Of Jews in New York for
violating the puritanical Sunday laws it
looks as if little progress had been made

THE M. AvMAN CIGAR G. IMPORTING co.

Is, in a business phrase, AAA-l. Our
Seventeenth street location has proven
winner for the reason that we have
moved to the camp Of the fine cigar con-
sumer, and if you are not located in the
vicinity Of our cigar store it will really
pay you to walk out Of your way to
reach us. Of course you may have to
pass by number Of cigar stores, but in
the end it will pay you, as we have
number of nickel brands Of cigars that
you will prefer to other so-called bit
cigars We claim the leadership in fine
cigars in Colorado and can furnish you
with most any leading brand of cigars,
cigarettes or tobaccos at popular prices.
So throw away the punks and give us
trial. Yours very truly,

The Jewish outlook., 1905-11-24

1t has been repeatedly said that our
race was eternally breathing with com
mercialism, so that it has made us rather
wary about exploiting that phase of the
Jewish people. We have so often been
told that our literature is the "quotation
Of the market" and that our conversa-
ton rings on the keynote of the dollar,
that we needs must defend ourselves and
have recourse to our great Jewish scient
lists, noted lawyers, eminent authors and
the numberless others who have distin-
guished themselves in all lines save that

dant of well known and renowned Por-
tugese family. Peixotto established a lu-
crative practice in San Francisco in the
sixties. Later he removed to New York
and continued his profession. He also
had the honor Of being grand president
of the Independent Order Of B'nai
B 'rith.
Franklin j. Moses was a prominent
lawyer in South Carolina. In 1868 he
became chief justice Of the Supreme
Court Of that state. The first nine vol
umes of South Carolina Reports contain
many opinions written by Judge Moses.
He died in 1877, while he was still
member of the court.
Pennsylvania has also honored the
Jews with judicial positions Mayer
Isaac Frank was judge Of the Supreme
Court Of the state, while Moses Levy was
presiding judge Of the District Court
The men mentioned above are perhaps
the most noted American Jewish lawyers
and jurists who have lived before our
day. However, the annals Of Jewish ac-
complishment in this field are very i'm
perfect and no work has ever been writ
ten upon the subject as far as the writer
is able to ascertain. 1t is, therefore,
quite probable, that many men Of dis
tinction have been omitted from this pa
per.
The Jew has now obtained firm foot
hold in the legal profession in America
In every metropolis Jews are generally
the leaders Of the bar, and in every city
OF any size in the entire United States
Jewish lawyers are to be found. When
we consider the influence and strength
Of the legal profession throughout our
country and dwell upon the prominent
positions which Jews are occupying at
the bar and upon the bench, it is appar-
ent that the Jewish people will exercise
an important hand in moulding the des-
tiny of this glorious land.
The Jewish outlook., 1905-11-24

in the observance OF a day OF rest accord
ing to the wishes Of the individual)
Stuyvesant not being tolerant toward the
Jews, most of them emigrated from New
Amsterdam and settled in Newport, r.
l., where religious liberty was accorded
to all. Roger Williams, being known for
his liberal views, Newport became the
mecca for all Jewish immigrants, and it
was the most influential Jewish commun-
ity in the colonies until after the Revo-
luton.
Moses and Aaron Lopez were the most
prominent merchants there. When the
Revolution broke out Newport suffered
greatly owing to its exposed position on
the ocean, and the commercial prosperity
OF Newport came to an end. After the
war nearly all of the Jewish residents
sought other fields; some went to New
York and others to the southern colonies.
At the outbreaking Of the war Aaron Lo-
PEI moved with his family to Massachu-
setts, and when the war ended was on
his way back to Newport to revive his
business, but unfortunately was des-
tined never to see it again. In driving
his horses near pond he rested upon
quicksand and sank ere he could be res
cued. His body was recovered and
buried in the Newport cemetery. The
burial ground that Longfellow immortal
lied in poem and the old synagogue
are all that remain of the once Jewish
commercial city. 1t is summer resort
now, and though people Of our race are
visitors there, statistics show few Jewish
residents.
The first noted Jewish merchant Of
New York was Hayman Levy, who con-
Quoted an extensive business house and
traded especially with the Indians. They
admired him greatly, for he understood
their habits as few others did, and he
also had a thorough knowledge Of their
character. He was known as a most hon
est and high-minded man. Levy became
the largest fur trader and was the rich
est merchant in New York. He also met
with reverses during the Revolution; his
property was destroyed by fire, but not
withstanding these setbacks he re-estab-
lished his business and carried it on until
his death in 1870. He was very active III
synagogue work and helped establish
congregation in his city. Records found
in his books show money paid to John
Jacob Astor for beating rugs at the rate
OF $3.50 per day. Hayman Levy was
probably the first man to employ the
