CRIME OF CRITICISING THE EMPEROR No1Nd ) ' ICnows .Test ! Mint It Ineludes , and Ilse Courts Do Sot Agrec on that Snhjccl-Sample. Cases tuft ' ] 'heir 1'eunltles , BEBLIN , July 3. The following nrtlclo is written by a prominent German editor , how prominent would be recognized Immediately - mediately If his name could be given. But to that ho objects most decidedly , as it World certainly meal his prosecution and imprisonment on the very chnrge which be discusses , It is sufflcIcnt to say that he is not a social democrat-Is , in fact , thoroughly opposed to that political party and a strong adherent of the monnrcliy , Germany has attained an 111-favored renown - nown in foreign countries by thin numberless political trials which have occurred since the present kaiser ascended the throne. Most of these proceedings hate been insti- hued on the charge of lose majeste , a crime for which the English-speaking nations have not even a word In their dictionaries. The periods of Incarceration which have been inflicted - flicted on teen and women of all classes for the offense would aggregate centuries. Ven- erahlo widows of .0 and schoolgirls of 15 hive been sent to jail alike for a word a1 criticism against the emperor , though the press has provided a good proportion of the offenders , Now , what is this terrible crime of lose majeste ? How does the law define It ? Clause 95 et the German penal cede gives some information on this point It reads thus : " 4VliosOever Is found guilty 0f libel- the kulscr , or one of rite federated Ger- man sovereigns , Wlll be sentenced to prison for not leas than hive months , or to incar ceratlon br a fortress from lave months to five years. ' Applfentinn of nn oid Lnn . This Is the law as it stood of old. It lies not been altered under the present emperor. The only change that has occurred is a severe and extended application , such as was never before attempted , Under the old emperor one did not hear much of "Ma- jestats Deletdigungs-Prozessen" ( trials for lese majeste ) . Ills majesty performed the duties of a sovereign very match like Queen Victoria of England , he wrote his name under what Bismarck chose to submit to him and lived otherwise ] Ilse an old gentleman - tleman of independent means. lie played at soldier as long as he was able to mount a horse , resorted to waLring places In summer - mer time , amused himself , but he did not meddle with party politics and never Indulged - dulged in speechmaking , So hia venerable flguro commanded sympathy even among those who disapproved his earlier career and the bloody part ha played in fighting tire popular movement of 1818 , for which ho bore for Ion : years the name of "Icartalschen-Prinz. Under such condt- ttons no public man , no journalist or political - ical agitator felt inclined to criticise the personal acts of the old kaiser. It woul d have been considered bad taste to do so , just as it is in England to criticise the personal sonal nets of Queen Victoria , But this stale of things was altered alto . gotlter as soon as William II occupied th 3 throne. Ills temper does not permit hit t to bo a constitutional monarch of the mod - ern type , lie Las in himself nothing of tin o charming modesty and thu prudent modera . Lion of his father and Itls grandfather , i e is n romantic character of the typo o t II'redcrick William IV , who , a year befor o rho revolution of ] BIB , emphatically ox clalnted : "No power in tire world shat 1 induce me to put a sheet of paper (1. ( e a a constitution ) between our Lord In heaven and may people. ' From this monarch Wil- liaut U t4aa inhortted the autocratic conviction - viction that he is not a man of flesh and blood like other mortals , but rather a heaven-born present bestowed upon the fatherland. Front hats monarch , too , he inherited fondness for speechmaking which has proved so unfortunate for the kalacl himself , for the whole nation , and espe' dally for a good many citizens. It is an unfortunate tendency for the kaiser , for this reason , that nearly every speech Ito has delivered - livered has held him up to ridicule before the whole country. Even those who lie in the dust before him laugh at him ns soon as he has gone , and nanny a cruel joke on his speeches which now is common prolierty of his subjects was brewed in the nnle cham her of the Schloss of Berlin. It is unfortunate - fortunate for the nation , because the friendly relations which should exist between the body and head of time state are violently disturbed' by these turbulent outbursts of an unruly personality. And , last but not least , it is unfortunate for a good many Individual subjects , because 'they have had to reconsider their frank criticism of these speeches in the prison coil , 'l'te Kniser's Attitude. The question whether there was room for such criticism or not may best be answered by some specimens of those speeches. Addressing a body of recruits William onto sold : "For you there Is only one foe , anti that is my foe. In view of our present socialist troubles it may come to this , that I may command you to shoot down your own relatites , brothers and even parents , in the streets , which God forbid ! But if 9t conies to that you dnut obey my orders without a inurmar. " After _ a dinner given in his honor by the Brandenburg Pro- vinclal Diet , he said : "Those Who oppose me I shall dash ) in pieces. " And again , to gentlemen of the Itlienlsh Diet at Dussel- dorf with regard to Blsmarclt , when he had just dismissed : "Ono only is lord In this country , and this bno mm I. Whosoever - ever opposes one I shall smash"-whence his nackname , "William , the Smasher" ( Wilhelm , der Zerschtnitlerer ) . This firm belief that the Almighty' and 'he ' are something - thing like very near relatives may be learned from many of his speeches. For itstanco : "The 'kingship , by the grace of God , ' expresses the foot that we llohenzol- Icras accept our crown only from heaven and are responsible only to 'heaven' . ' "God has given himself such endless trouble with our house that we can assume he has not done this for nothing. No , Brandenhurgers , we are called to greatness , and to glorious days will I lead you. ' Again : "The first king of Prussia once said : 'Eome mea nata corona ( may crown Is born out of myself ) . I Iu turn , like my 4mperlal grandfather , hold my kingship as by the grace of God. It was on this spot that King William openly declared before his subjects that tae lucid his crown from God alone , This is also my deepest conviction and has ever served me as a guide In all my actions. " 'I' ( ) Crash Ills Opponents , A most mdesirablo thing for a constltu tionnl monarch do do is to take an active part in politics , William II. has done so , although him the beginning of his reign he told his people : "The king of Prussia stands so 'high above parties and party con. filets that , seeking the best interests of all , ho is 4n a posltlon to make the welfare of every individual and every province in his kingdom has care. " He soon abandoned this position. Then , after his famous labo r rescrlpts in 1890 , ' since to be a mere eleettoneoring' trick , the social democrnUio votes rose from ? 00,000 le 1,120- 000 , h0 alarmed time garrtaon of Berlin t o 'yday at mvur , " and it is reported an good authority , that on this occasion th o kaiser , alluding to time vote , said to lull suite , "ballots are theirs , but bullets ar e mine. " As his speeches declare , the emperor ha s condo up his mind to "smash" any opposl than , hilt lime social democrats he means t o "smash" above ell. In 1889 when he re celved n deputation of time striking miner s \l'eslphalla he exclaimed : "Should it turn out that theta is any socialist connec lion with this movement , then it. w911 be inposslbla for mo to weigh your wishes with my royal goodwilh For to me every social democrat is synonymous with n ] lclchs uud Vnlerinndsfclud ( n foe of the e mpire and of the fatherland , ) " Later he spoke ° [ the labor party 113 "a pest that must be rooted out , " In September , 1S96 , when some opposition rose against the plan of the court party to elevate William I , to whom his grandson , not history , bad given lima name of "IVllhelm der Crosse , " to nearly time rank at n saint , time kaiser uttered his strongest outburst of hatred against the left wing of the opposition. In an address to lime officers of the guard h ° said ; " ,1 rout at men unworthy to hear the name eP Germans 'ventures to drag into tlte dust rho sacred person tut our blessed emperor ( \S'lllinm I. ) May the whole nation and In themselves the power of rejecting thew un- heard-of nttucks. If not , then I shall cult upon you , my guards , to check this felonious rout and to engage in a tight that will reeve - h eve us from these elements. " A few days inter in another speech he designated the members of the social democratic party as "fatherlandless scamps , " Although time country lad hitherto been startled by the heavy increase of trials or the charge of Ieso mnjeste , they were as nothing compared to the flood of these proceedings which broke all over the fatherland - land after these September speeches , Fromn September , 1593 , dates the high tide of persecutions caused by the personal entrance of the iaiser into politics. What could ho meant by that appeal to the guards ? Revolution from above , bloodshed in time streets against a party which counted 1,500 , 000 votes in the elections , the second strongest vote of all parties ? Would it hnv ° been possible for a press which retained a minimum of self-respect to refrain from commenting upon these speeches ? Could a nation look tacitly upon a perspective as horrible as was drawn here by time lalsei' : ? Such repression could not be expected. But as soon as We opened our inouths to utter our opinions upon these speeches we were sent to prison by scores. Operations of time Law. The kaiser had frankly spoken of civil war for whlclt ho would call upon the guards. But nobody was allowed to say that the kaiser had done it. For to initiate a civil war is a trine , and 1o say that time kaiser had benne fn mind the idea of civil war is Iese majeste , notwithstanding tilt- fact that he had really and publicly uttered the idea as Ids own. The kaiser had called a mlllimi and a half subjects "falherlandleas scamps , " but when a journalist wrote that the kaiser had "abused" the social democrats ho was sentenced for lese majeste , because tlm e kaiser is by law supposed to be unable to "abuse" even when ho has clearly delta so. In tie case of this journalist the public prosecutor defined the theory of Iese majesl e thus : "I do not ask whether what the accuse d maintained in his article be untrue or true , whetter it has any justification or foundation - tion , whether It be provoked by the emperor - peror or not , Whctimr the emperor has used l those words or not. The only questio n at issue is , Did ho say that the cmpero r had abused the social democrats or not , He admits he did write it. That is abso lutely sufficient for his conviction. As soon as ho says , 'The emperor has abused ; lie I s sf guilty. In cases of Ieso majeste no plea o f justification is allowed , The king can do n ° wrong ! " lie can do no wrong ! T ven It lie doet wrong It is no wrong ! That is wheat th ° German people is commanded to bellow ° since thin "Sepiemnber-Curs" was opened othat 'than German people Is commanded b y the judges of the country to accept n s justice ! d1 lI'ur-i etehed Chnre. 1Vhen Ltehhceclut , an aged leader of th o social democratic party , opened the anuun I party congress at. ISrOSIau some weeks site r those September speeches of the kaiser , h o said In his opening address , in which th o person of the emperor was not even allude d to : "Thrusts of dirt , from whatever Hree- tiou they may conic , cannot hit us. " Besult -four months' lnrprisontnent mm account of teal mnjeste for the septuagenarian , upon whom his most bitter opponents look with respect It may surprlso people outside of our own "fatherland" to learn how the court { arrived at this conviction. Mere are the "moths" of tim judgment : "These. words ( thrusts of dirt ) Flo not , mu , ouch , constitute Ieso majeste , and the , accused .Is , such an experienced politician , that it tvas'evidently hits desire 'and his intention not to cemmit lose majeste " But as the kaiser had a few weeks before condemned the social dcao- crats in strong terns , "there aright have heett people Iii the audience who aright eveutuuilly have been of the oplulon that Ljcbknecht alluded to the kaiser as throwing dirt , and it might well have been the intea- tlet of Liebknecht to provoke such no opinion - ion ! n his audience. " This is a line specimen of the rotten theory of "dolus eveuualis" ( eventual intent - tent ) whlclt vas speclally invented by our prosecutors and judges jar order to satlsfy the demand for victims for lese majeste. One anay easily Imagine how the conflcleuco of the pcoplc du the adnrinistratlon of "jus- tlco" has been strengthened by these maii- ipulatioms of a foul byzantinism and how they will speak out on this theory at the illst opportunity. There is another typical feature of the lean nutjesto epldemy. After some months of administering "justice" of this sort nobody - body Ito Germany knew what lose mnjeste 'wwas and what it was not. Not even the judges knew , for an the same article courts in different towns diverged In judgment. hero they dismissed ; there they oonvlctel. One editor was sentenced to nine months' Imprisonment , which he has served , for WI article for whioh two high courts in another town declined to prosecute , because , in their opinion , 'there was not the slightest truce of lese mnjeste in it. But the most startling - ling example of these corrupt trials is this : A prvvincial paper printed nu article of its Berlin correspondent commenting o ° the fact that nearly all duelist murderers were pardoned , while political prisoners ltad always - ways to undergo their sentence. As the right of pardoning belongs to the crown , the provincial judges , with the aid of that famous crutch , " Bolus eventualls , " came to time conclusion that the editor of the paper hind committed lese majeste because he had attributed to the crown an unequal and unjust - just administratlou of the right of pardon. The editor had to undergo three months' imprisonment - prisonment Of course since the provincial editor , as the minor criminal , who enl y printed the vicious art4cle , ' was sent to prison , the actual author deserved to b ° punished in a more severe way , especially slnco lie lived , as It we're ' , under the eye of sacred majesty. So time provincial pros- ecutor triumphantly sent the judgment ° his court to his Berlin colleague , who u once established proceedings against the ° Berlin correspondent The ridiculous conclusion - clusion of Oho matter was that , though time publlu prosecutor read out to the Berlin Judges the decision of their provincial col- leagues they unanimously discharged the author , stating that fu their Judgment tit ° article contained nothing but fair crlticlsm amid it such expressions of public optnio n were do be punished , fair criticism would 1 bccotne impossible. Nnbndy Koevw's'.Vital Lese ltfnjesto is , It is a fact that nobody in Germany knots at this moment what lose majeste is.

Tltero is another , perhaps the most pernicious outcome of these lose mnjeste prosecutions. I mean' the accursed pest of denuuciutiomr which hasrfouled vast clrclcs of the population , As lose majeste is punished , even If It has been committed as far back as fOur years , there Is ample opportunity for rogues of every descrlp tfon to denounce their fellosvcitizeus against svbonm they have or believe that they have any cause for Ill-feeling. Every man or w'om an 9n Germany , I dare say , huts at least one lose majeste on his or her conscience , and it is a detestable proof of the wviCkedness of human nature that since the initiation of the "September kurs"- wh iclm means time course adopted by our gov ermtieot shoe the speech of time emperor to the guards on September , 1S95-that "frlends" have denounced their friends , neighbors their neighbors , workers their fellow-workers , mothers-in-law their sons- In-law , fathers , their sons , nay , even wives thou' husbands.
