NEW TRIuMPHs FOR THE JEWS

Within the past few years men Of
the Jewish faith have made notable
conauests. Herbert L. Samuel has
become chancellor of the ducay of
Lancaster, in the ministry of Premier
Asauith He is the first Jew who
was ever made member of the Bril-
jsh cabinet. A Jew, DR.. Won Bethman.
Hollweg, has become chancellor of the
German Empire, the station which
was vacated by Prince Won Buelow.
That post was never held by a Jew
before. Disraeli, the can cf Beacons-
field. was of Jewish parentage. but he
became Christian in MS youth. long
before he had any ambition to enter
Parliament
Although from the early days of the
nineteenth century England treated
the Jews literally in the political
field. ii is only about half century
since the first of them became a
member of Parliament. In 1855 a
statute was passing removing their
disabilities as regards their service in

tered il shortly afterward. Many Of

Queer Habits of Authors.

Both Dumas and Balzac showed no
inclination TO pass the wne-bottle. On
the other hand. Voltaire drank huge
quantities of coffee when engaged in
writing. As a matter Of fact. overju-
diligence in that beverage during a
protrscted literary effort was the real
cause OF his death Schiller also
drank coffee to thaw the frost out OF
his wits but he fancied imbibing the
infusion while seated with his feet
in hot water. This. he believed. stimu-
lated his Imagination in sluggish
moods. and he refreshed It dnring
work by copious draughts from a flask

though, under the American constl
tuition and statutes all forms of reli

pointed by President Roosevelt, was
the first Jew to enter the cabinet in
the United States.
Manifespy, however the triumph
which DR., Won Bethman-Hollweg has
achieved is far greater than that
which was won by Mr.. Straus here or
by Mr. Samuel in England. In the

Woman suffrage has been most success
ful as a practical expedient in Utah. In
fact, it Is no longer an expedient. but an
integral part Of our civil life. Politics has
been benefited by the refining influence of
women; and, instead of being unsexed or
debased, the women have been broadened
and bettered intellectually and socially
through the study and practice of civic
affairs entailed by the franchise.
Politically, the influence of woman
suffrage has been on the side of peace at

The national movement steadily gained impetus.
and with the hearty cooperation Of ministerial orga-
nizatons, the effort to resist the encroachment of
divorce sentiment obtained increasing sway. Gradu-
ally state by state began to yield to the national
movement, and each year found some material modi-
fcation of both marriage and divorce laws placed
on the statute books.
The national movement for diyorce-law reform
has been gradual But it has been surely successful
and effective With practically every state requiring
