Cricin of the BIenheim Spaniel,

1t is said that during the great bat
tie of Blenheim a spaniel followed the
Duke Of Marlborough all day long close
at heel, never leaving him until the
tide of success had turned decisively
in favor of the British arms. The
duke took the dog home, and his
duchess, the famous Sarah Churchill,
cared for it till its death. This dog,
the story goes, was the progenitor of
the %well-known Blenheim spaniels.
Ever since that time it has been the
custom in the Churchill family for
each duke to present a Blenheim span
iel to his bride when she enters Blen-
helm palace for the first time as it's
mistress.

numerously signed petition from
residents on the north side of
the railroad, asking that one
fifth of the amount realized by
the bond issue be spent for
school and on extension of the

ficance of which has been attested IN
quarter which is unassailable. One OF
the most venomOus and dangerous anti
Semitic books that has ever been written
is Treitschke's German History. And
this spiteful, inexorable Jew-hater, in
dealing with that period, speaks OF Ga
briel Riesser in the following terms:
Meanwhile, German Jewry had found
a bold, trusty champion in the Hamburg
jurist, Gabriel Riesser, noble, loyal
man, of whom his friends boasted that IN
him justice had become his soul. The
emancipation of his coreligionists was his
dearest cause; from the early thirties he
presented it often violently but always
honorably. in his journal, The Jew, and
in numerous pamphlets. Himself mod
crate Liberal he boldly took the bull by
the horns, and fought the Baden Liber-
ais. If all German Jews had resembled
this enthusiastic patriot, their emanclpa-
ton would never have been opposed by
our broad-minded people.
The Jewish question was tahen up III
the various Parliaments and Diets. Rles-
ser sought to follow the progress OF
events with watchful eye and critical
observation in journal for liberty OF
religion and conscience as he calls 1t, and
this journal he gives the name OF The
Jew. That was not mere title, 1t was
an achievement! Hitherto the Christians
had been accustomed to concentrate all
their hate all the baseness OF their own
hearts in the word "Jew.' In Ham,
burg, the preacher, Gotthold Salomon,
had Just broken lance for the Mosaic
Religion, - and the government had been
approached by the Jews to proclaim the
expressions "Jew' and "Jewish' as
slanderous. Then Riesser appeared on
the scene and reclaimed the degraded
name "Jew' for himself and his breth-
ren. Riesser converted the insult into
title of honor.
The zenith Of his life and work was
reached in 1S4S, a year that will ever be
memorable in the history Of Germany
and especially in the history Of the Ger
man Jews. In 1910 Riesser, after forty
seven years absence from Hamburg, had
been admitted by the Hamburg Senate as
a notary and had thereby won firm
basis both for his material existence and
his political activity. In Jewish circles
in Hamburg his application for admis-
sion to the notariat had been regarded as
hopeless and phrase from Exodus xiv.
%, which refers to the sinking of the
Egyptians in the Red Sea was wittily ap-
piled to him and other Jewish appli-
cants, the words echad mehem 10 notar

tors, who diminished the perquisites OF
the professors, worried the government
with troublesome applications, and ad-
vertised. in an unseemly manner The
true reason was not difficult to surmise.
Riesser was Jew, he wished to con-
tinue such, and in spite OF attractive
temptations he remained in the faith.
This bitter experience, the collapse OF his
dearest hopes and wishes, the brutal up
setting Of his plans for the sole reason
that he was a Jew, formed the starting
point in the development of all his
thought and action. Riesser made great
sacrifices for his Judaism, but the
greater these sacrifices the greater was
his love for Judaism, the frmer his re-
solve to fight on behalf of his brethren.
The cause of oppressed Jewry became
his own.
Throughout Germany Jew could be
a doctor, and people freely trusted their
lives and healths to his care. On the
other hand, in the majority Of the states,
a Jew could be neither tailor nor boot
maker, house-owner nor night-watchman.
Wholesale trading, in which there were
no guilds, was everywhere permitted to
the Jews without restriction. But IN
many places they were excluded from
several branches Of retail trading IN
which guilds existed. In Frankfort-on-
the-Main, the Jews could engage in any
form Of activity, and were even admitted
to the bar; but only fifteen Jewish cou-
pies were allowed to be married every
year. In Bavaria rich Jewish banker,
who had been raised to the nobility,
exercised the right of patronage on his
estate; he was even allowed to dispose OF
a judgeship and give away Catholic lv-
irgs In 1914, in Bavaria, the Eichthals
were ennobled, and the Hirsches Of Gere-
nth in 1918. On the other hand, IN Ba-
varia, no Jew might own a brewery. In
Hamburg, Jews could engage in guild
trades, such as tailoring, bootmaking and
carpentry, but were not allowed to teach
apprentices. Property-ownershlp, the
bar, the teaching profession were al
most everywhere closed to Jews, and that
at time when in France, Holland,
North America, and partly, too, in
England, Jews were occupying high
civic and political posts. In the army,
however, they were better off even than
at present. The well-known Major, at
that time Captain, Bing, taught at a
Prussian y military school. Nothing is
more eloquent Of the petty jealousy actu-
ating all these narrow-minded laws than
an incident during a discussion in the
Wurtemberg Parliament, when this state

the close OF the debate, an apOthecafy
rose and begged that at any rate Jews
be not allowed to become apothecarles
Riesser aptly remarks that in this way 1t
would be easy to plead against the aboli-
ton Of capital punishment, as it would be
against the interests of the eXecutioners
The signal for the fight had been given
by the July revolution in Paris. The
thrones and thronelets Of Germany be-
gan to totter A liberal breeze swept
through the Chambers. The iron was
hot, it was waiting to be struck. Ac-
cordingly in 1881 Riesser, who was then
twenty-four years old, published his first
controversial pamphlet con the situa-
ton Of those protesting the Mosaic Re-
ligion in Germany" This work was
markedly different to any OF the numer-
Gus writings that had hitherto appeared
in favor of the Jews. 1t abandoned the
defensive against reproach and assumed
the resolutely offensive. 1t asked for,
and most emphatically demanded, equal
rights in return for equal obligations.
The Jewish question was a question OF
right, and as surely as truth would tri-
umph over falsehood so certainly must
right triumph over wrong, and the
cause of the Jews would conquer. The
Jews should form leagues, should organ
ize, so that they might repeatedly and
untiringly demand their just rights.
"Modesty,' says Riesser, "appears to
us noble when it conceals the superiority
of the strong from the eyes Of the weak,
but ugly to aversion when it pays sll-
perior power the cowardly tribute of
subservience.
That was an entirely new language in
the mouth Of German Jew. Hitherto
the Jews had contented themselves with
obtaining a few concessions. The indi-
vidual Jew went the way that led him
most easily to comfortable existence.
Corporate activity manifested itself
more in the sporadic support Of poorer
coreligionsts, in the foundation of chari-
table and educational institutions, than
in strong endeavor to stem the general
and common distress; the acquisition of
civil rights seemed to the majority but a
pious wish and an unattainable dream.
The Church Councillor Paulus Of Hei
delberg, who belonged to the nationalist
school of evangelical theologians, pub
hshed a pamphlet against the emancipa-
ton Of the Jews and it's apostle Reisser.
Paulus, like Roehr, Winer, and other So
called enlightened theologians, could not
forgive the Jews for not letting them
selves be argued by these clever dialec
ticians into renouncing the Old Testa-
ment But he was much more dangerous
