and compel submission to her dictation
in European affairs without fight, since
none can oppose the tremendous mill
tary establishment of the empire.

the war of 1912, but it is a monstrous
burden and crying iniquity as now

JUDICIAL POLITICIANS.

That the constitution of Kansas in
letter and spirit forbids judges from

comments have been written. The
Larned Chronoscope, edited by Major
lnman, discusses the matter at length
from q constitutional standpoint, and
his position is unanswerable.
