Is our primary election law working
out the way those who forced it upon
Us told the people it would work? Is it
making for better government? Are not
the kind of men the public service needs
really shut out by this measure, be-
cause it puts the stamp of Office seeker
upon all who try to meet its require
ments? Isn't it after all the same old
world, where statute-made virtue is
more hurtful than Observation-Disclosures
Journal.
When the voters of Wisconsin by
referendum adopted the primary cleo
ton law they were carried away with
the platitude that it would place the
power in the hands of the people.
How it places the power in the hands
of the people not one of its supporters
has ever explained. On the contrary,
it binders the free choice of it's people,
and substitutes the Office seeker for the
representative citizen.

THE NEW FLYING MACHINES.
You Only have to Steer them and
They Take You EVERYWHERE,


"The Men Who Learned to Fly"
tell the story of how they did it in an
article by George Kibbe Turner in the
February McClure's. Ten years ago
the secret of men flying was mastered,
but no manageable machine had been
made. Two American bicycle-makers
set to work to surmount the last OBJ
stacle, equilibrium.
"Our idea was to secure a machine
which, with a little practice, could be
balanced and steered semi
cally, by reflex action, just as bicy-
Gle is. There is no time to be given
to conscious thought in balancing an
aeroplane; the action of the air is too
rapid.
1.-The problem of the real power
driven fying-machine was exactly
what we knew it must be-the ques-
ton of equilibrium. We secured the
use OF swampy meadow eight miles
east of Dayton, Ohio. On our tests
there it became clear that the flying
machine would operate well in a
straight line; the difficulty came i'm
mediately upon turning corners, as it
was necessary to do in the small field.
Just what the trouble was we could
not tell. Several turns might be made
safely; then, all at once, the machine
would begin to lose it's balance, and
must be stopped and brought down to
the ground. We kept experimenting
to discover the cause of the trouble
and the way of dealing with it, and in
the latter part of the year 1904 we
made some progress. We accom-
plished a complete circle on Septem-
Der 20, and two flights of three miles
each around the course in November
and December.
The Wright Brothers now claim to
have for sale an aerial war ship which
will give the government purchasing
it five years. lead in fyingmachine
development.

lawyers share. The demand for a
profusion of legislation is inevitable.
The difficulty of having it good con-
sists in three things, he said. First,
many do not understand exactly what
is the evil they desire to cure; the
good they seek to attain. Secondly,
when they do understand the evil they
seldom know the remedy. Thirdly, the
number of measures called for is so
large that it is hard to select those
most urgently needed.

BETTER DAYS IN STORE.

Although little credit is given to
the truth of the report that better
days are in store for the Jews in
Russia. yet London dispatch states
that the British ambassador at ST.
Petersburg has been notified that
more tolerance will be shown toward
British subjects in Russia who are of
the Jewish faith. OF course the con-
cessions are of minor Importance, yet
they may in time be productive of
great results.
Many persons take pcssimistic
view of these concessions and claim
that they are only made in order that
the Russian government may secure
foreign loans. and when this is ac-
complished Russia will again pursue
her former crueltics on our core
iigionists.
We are inclined t. disagree with
our pessimistic friends. We are of
ire opinion that the visit of King
Edward of England may have had
an influence for good upon the Car
and his officers as far as the Jews are
ccncerned.-Jewish Review Observer.

city and name, what have they at
tempted in the matters? ''
Of course, American Jewry is
somewhat better in this respect, but
the anticipations are far from being
realized. The membership of our
Jewish Publication Society is indeed
very small when compared with the
number of Jewish families in this
country. During the years of it's ex-
istence, 1T has brought to the Jewish
public many volumes of exceptional
merit, but it is not as well patronized
as it ought to be. The membership
fluctuates like an unsteady stock quo
tatlon. If the col pOltuer has been
working in the west, the next issue
of the yearbook will disclose a large
western membership, but the follow
ing yearbook will reveal a consider
able shrinkage. The membership
should be many times more than it
is and the interest in the works pub
llshed should be broadened and deep
cned. Then again, the publication of
the Jewish Encyclopedia was a strug-
gle. Considering the lack of sup
port, it is miracle that such books
issue from the press at all. Some
thing should be done, and done i'm
mediately, in order to stimulate Jew
ish interest in Jewish books. The
creation OF an Anglo Jewish Publca-
tion Society, on the lines of our own
American organization, but sup
ported by an endowment fund is an
admirable suggestion But why null
tlply societies and productions and
thereby multiply failures. 1t would
he well to internationalize our exist
ing society which already has about
three dozen members scattered
throughout the world outside the
United States, and arrange the pub
lication in several languages to meet
the requirements of all the members.
There is no need of duplication BY
concerted effort. large measure OF
success could be won. and many Jews
and Jcwesses egaincd for the read
ing of such books as would furnish
them with an excellent knowledge of
what they should possess and what
should be theirs. 1t is folly to set up
howl and a cry without cndcavor-
ing to improve the situation. Books
we need, books we must have and we
will have, but we also must and will
have buyers and readers. Every in
tercstcd individual would do well to
constitute himself and herself COM
mittcc of one to carry on this great
missionary work and hold himself or
additional member to our Publica-
tion Society. Then much will be
done to relieve the present unsatis-
factory condition. and to awaken a
real. living interest in what should be
the fondcst desire of every Jew.

TELLS JEWISH CuAUTAUQAU TIE
BENEFITS OF IMMIGRATION.
The third day of the Jewish Chau-
tauqua Society proved the most in
tercsting thus far, and brought out a
large crowd at its several sessions.
Fully 500 Jews and gcntiles who
are interested in the problems of i'm
migration gathered at the Apollo
Club to hear what Edward Lauter-
bach of New York, president of the
Liberal Immigration League, had to
say.
Mr.. Lauterbach is a firm believer
in lenient immigration laws, and at
tackled almost savagely the proposed
bills pending before Congress to place
a head tax of $25 on each immigrant
entering this country.
''The league of which I am presi-
dent was formed TO fight any further
restrictions to immigration, said

were Mrs. Julia Miller of Chatta-

Philadelphia and Mrs. NIillie kap-

Russian Parliament

At the elections for the Prussian
parliament, three Jews have been re-
elected for Berlin, namely, DR..
Gerschel, Judicial Privy Councillor
Cassel and Herr Leopold Rosonow.
Jews have also been returned in three
other constituencies, and others have
also good prospects OF success at the
second ballots. A pronounced anti
Semitic who sat in the last parliament
has been defeated, and all the Ger
man Socialists have Eeen thoroughly
beaten. Several Christian Socialists
have also suffered defeat, but in COM
petent Jewish circles the opinion is
held that on the whole the situation
has not changed as far as Jewish in
terestS are concerned.

which unanimously passed the Senate
increasing the head tax on immi-
grants and making education and a
knowledge of the English laguage a
qualification for entrance into the
country. Until there is an educa-
tional qualification placed upon the
voters of this country there cannot, in
fairness, be such qualification
placed upon immigrants entering our
country.
81 am not an advocate of unlim-
lted immigration, but | believe that
so long as immi grafton keeps within
its present bounds we have nothing to
fear. The only trouble is in distribu-
ton. The United States should spend
some of the money it collects in head
taxes in distributing the immigrants
and getting them away from the great
centers of population, where they at
present congregate. The northern
and eastern states are thrOnged with
immigrants, but in the west and south
there are few. Fully ninety per cent
of immigrants get no farther west
than Chicago and no farther south
than Pennsylvania.
"America always has been and al
ways should be the haven of refuge
TO the prosecuted, or we shall again
have enacted the scenes of horror of
Odessa and other towns where Jews
were made TO keep within the pale or
were massacred by hundreds. In 1882
they came to America by the thou
sands in squalor and poverty. 1t
seemed as though we were assuming
an awful responsibility in taking
them, yet today many of those i'm
migrants are numbered among Amer
ica's best citizens and business men.
One section of New York that for
merly was vacant and practically
worthless, was coloniZcd by these peo-
pie. and now the property is worth
millions of dollars, and the immi-
grants are among New York's most
progressive citizens.
"When Jews first entered New
York in the days of Peter Stuyvesant,
he made them promise to support
their own poor. True TO that legend
of early days. they have always done
so in America.
Speaking of the wrongs done the
Jews by the Russian government,
Mr. Lautcrbach said:
Il was sorry recently TO see the
right hand of fellowship extended to
the Car by America. 1t may have
been good politics. but it's a bad pre-
ccdcnt. Back of all the horrors that
have been enacted in Russia and all
the oppression is autocracy, and as
such it should receive no encourage

THE TOTAL ABSTAINER.
Power of Their Influence in Cause Of
Temperance InestimabIe.

In an article written by resident
of Glasgow, Scotland, whore so much
has been accomplished in the cause Of
temperance, there is this thought on
total abstinence: 1T sometimes hap
pens that abstainers are deeply and
unduly impressed by what their absti-
nenee costs them. 1t makes certain
demands on their money, it also makes
certain demands on their time and in
terest, reminding them in many ways
that they cannot stand idle and allow
the terrible rayages of strong drink to
go on without some effort to check
them.
1T is we'll" he says, ito take a look
at the other side of the question.
since, no matter how great the de-
mands may be which abstinence
makes on abstainers, it confers in
fnitely more than it ever exacts. 1t
sets up a ladder for those who prac-
tice it, which while it rests securely
on the solid earth of material advan-
tages and benefits, may reach all the
way up to heaven. Think what
it does for the moral and spiritual we'll
being of many a home, it makes men
debtors to live consecrated lives, to
labor with all their might for the re-
demption of the nation, the salvation
of all mankind and the coming of the
