be resuscitated. But that poor bogey
is fast losing its sawdust.
"Thc greatest Russian politicians
and military authorities, notably Gen
eral Kourapatkin, have repeatedly af-
firmcd that the conquest of India
would be the beginning of the end
of the Russian empire. Owing 70 the
almost insurnaountahlS iffzS---- iffzS-----s- oe ana
the extravagant expenditure which
the campaign alone would entail, such
an undertaking is altogether outside
the range of possibilities. The WORLD
has changed since the day when g en-
eral Skobeleff declared that "the road
tic Constantinople lies through Irl ldia."
Certainly Russia will not allow Con-
stantinople to be taken by anyone.
That is why she did not alloW Bull
Igaria to advance beyond Tclbatalja.
But Constantinople will lose Gts i'm
portance in the eyes Of the Russia
as soon as the question of tac open
ing of the Dardanelles is settled fa-
vorably. When that has been ar
ranged Russia's ambitions mo Longer
concern Europe politically.
"Mr. Shaw talks glibly( of the ne
Icessity of conserving Gerrnany's east
ern frontier. Why? Against whom
and what? 1t is not Germany's east
ern frontier that has maittered one jot
in the European balance of civiliza-
ton; it is that Russia la y beyond that
frontier and served as the bulwark,
not only of Germany, but of Europe
against the Tartars who overran her,
and put back her civilization by a cou-
lLlc of centuries. 1t is idle specula-
ton, but an interesting point never
theless, to wonder whether Germany
would have maintained as much cul-
ture as Russia has done had she been
forced to bear the front of such an
invasion.
Russian bureaucracy, as all bureau
cracies, has welcomed militarism, and
has counted on it confidently as sup
port. With weaker Germany there
will no longer be either excuse or ne
cessity for encouraging it; and the
bureaucracy will lose ground proper
tionately. The democracy, having
played an important part in the cam
paign, will not only be more actively
conscious Of its rights; it will find
them easier to obtain. This applies
not only to Russa proper, but to Fin
land, Poland and the Caucasus, which
SO far are standing by Russia. A
government financially weakened, as
lis inevitable after any war, becomes
more dependent on its people-and
more tractable.
"lt is obvious that if progressive
Russia has joined forces with reac-
tionary Russia for the moment it is
because she feels herself strong
enough TO postpone her own demands.
And in that case she is hardly likely
to allow herself to be yoked with
homegrown militarism after she has
laid aside her own grievances while
helping TO strike blow at militar /.
ism which, though irksome to other
rations, has weighed most heavily on
its own people.

JUDGE RHEA.

THO reappointment OF William f..
Rhea TO the state Corporation Com
mission will be generally approved
for the reason that It was emincntly
deserved.
Since his appointment in 1905, Judge
Rhea has chiefly directed the assess
ments made by the commission. and
has shown diligence and Judgment in
his work. Largely through his efforts,
the assessment OF mineral lands, which
was long a farce. has been placed on n
sound and equitable footing. BY his
endeavors, also. the assessment of rail-
road property has been improved and
in some measure cqualized. Fully ac-
quainted with the routine of his office
and familiar with the problems lie is
called upon TO solve, Judge Rhea be-
gins his second term on the commits

great in utter unconvontionality.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-1t may seem like an extreme
measure. but I believe the best thing
the Legislature can do, so far as game
Is concerned, is to cut all Legislation
short along that line and pass u bill
prohibiting the killing of any gamasfor,
say, five years. In that time game
would, no doubt. become plentiful
again. and we would be rid Of a lot
of worthless dogs that roam over the
country and kill the young game.
Many an old gun, OH which no taxes
are paid would be so rusty that it
would not be 1T for further service
