British Columbia leads the way British Columbia is the first State in the Empire and in the world to appoint a woman Cabinet Minister. The lady who is destined to immortal fame in the annals of her sex is Mrs. Mary Ellen Ralph Smith. She was the first woman elected to the Legislature of her province, three years since She has long been interested in philanthropic work and in association with her late husband, has had experience of public affairs. Her politics are, we believe, to be described as independent. It will be generally admitted as appropriate that the department committed to the charge of this first woman Minister of State should be that of education. Coming events.cast their shadows be fore. There can be little doubt that in years to come every civilised country will employ women in posts of the highest responsibility.

Whether the entry of wo men to the Cabinet will give us a better Government is a question which may be long but not very fruitfully. debated. Feminine Influence in politics is not new phenomenon. Without seeking obscure and remote instances, we may recall how the first Duchess of Marlborough long kept a Govern ment in power, and Abigail Hill surr ed it out and almost brought the exiled Stuarts in. There were men who objected to sitting in a Cabinet with Lord Holland because his wife read all his papers and did not hesitate to work upon or against his colleagues, Lord Palmerston owed much of his long tenure of power to his wife's skill.
