An advance copy of The T.?iterar.v Di gest f<>r Cehruary 7 carries an *?itm*1*? of more ihu.ti ordinary Interest, embodying ok it does iIn* opinion of lawyer* "of high and low degree," on the <U*p<?*ition that' should hi> made of the KalseY, Tin Digest had submitted a brltff "question* nuire" to tlpi Justices of State tfupreme Courts, to district, circuit and county judges and to tlii'j lii-ads of legal depart ments of State I'nlvertdtieA, the specific question to which replies were requested In-i11k : "If William Ilohonz<dlein is found guilty,, both of caiiMiJticiouH reH|Miu? nihility for the war an<l authorizing mil itary violations of international law, what penally should he Hnpowd upon himTo thist query 3^8 replies were reeelv<?d from al| pants of the country. One hundnj^l ami thirty-seven lawyers raised their voices for exile; 100 were in favor of 'executing die Kaiser; 51 were for his Imprisonment and .seven for pen alth> of various kinds., while 27 argued mostly en the ground of expediency against any tt*ih 1 whatever. In. making analytus of the replies as a whole, the editor of The Digest says most of the jurists noeopt It Mt a moral, if not a legal certainty that the guilt of the Kair sim' is already circumstantially establish ed \in the opinion of civilifced mankind. Especially noticeable, in view-of the cir cumstance thint these replies come from mpu highly trained in legal procedure and not from laymen, is the fact that only a negligible number?-IK of the tt28, to 'Jbe cMK't?hold with Secretary Lan sing that there is no adequate hody of Ijtwfl under which a man may ho tried for acts as those attributed to the. Ger man 10n\peror. The verdiot of these rep resentative American jurists would seem to be tihnt justice will not have been 'satlat'ieil until William II stands in judgment before a tribunal comiwsed, if not of his peers?who might be hard to tind?at least of men eapahle of in terpretiu* and carrying out the enlight ened opinion of in-ankind in the matter of ('ivili/.ation vs William IT. This gen eral sentupoii't may be summed up 111 the declaration of Judge William It. Hose, of the Supreme Court of Nebraska, who writes.: "Civilization represented by en lightened. humane Government, should exercise jurisdiction in exceptional cases of unprovoked and brutal atrocity." On the other side of the question and possib ly significant ??f a considerable -body of public opinion. is the dei'laration of the dean of a university law school to the effect that the present movement to try the Kaiser is largely "bluff", that the ruling^ |H>wer* in England. France and the I'niteil Statis will never permit such an inquiry into the real causes ?? f tlie war. Yerv likely this discontented univi r sit.i spirit is oiv of Vhe many college professor* whose views have been entire ly in iU'iHird with the (?overnment's pol ii-\ in dealing .with Germany and Ger nfan sympathiscers. Tie is offset by an ex t i'1'iiiist oil the other side who would see the Kaiser "drawn, hanged and quarter ed". and by the milder-spirited lawyer who believes "the Kaiser should stretell hi-mp." The people of .the <*ountry will lie naturally interested in reading the vii? ws of the legal profession on a mat ter s,, intimately involving the Kaiser and bis fture, and we should say that The l.iterary I ?igeM ha* in this instance put tIn*' "referendum'' to a purpose which will ti-ii?l to 11>tupletel\ redeem that over worked \\?te.ui in the eyes of the read ing public.
