The kaiser and the Newspapers

THE emperor has a strong dislike of
the press. 1t is mainly owing to his own
influence that that very modest measure
Of comparative liberty which the German
press enjoyed under his grandfather and
his father has been curtailed, until even
the semblance of it has almost disap-
peared. This. it may be well to say is
really contrary to the constitution both Is
the empire and of Prussia, but
unfortunately the current of po-
liticaI thought in Germany dur
ing the past decade has favored
and facilitated this systematic suppress
sion of the press. The courts all over
Germany have assumed more and mora
an attitude of downright hostility and the
practice of the higher judiciary, the i'm
perial court in Leipzig, has for years been
unfair, even almost revolutionary Judges
and lawyers themselves have strenuously
and persistently protested against the
rising tide of reactionism. The principal
reason for the emperor's antipathy to the
press is his personal experience, espe-
cially during the first five years Of his
reign, when public opinion was consider
ably prejudiced against him, and when a
great deal of bitter and unfair criticism
was hurled at his head. 1t so HAPPENS
that the kaiser is inordinately vain, and
extremely susceptible to criticism, and
impatient of it. He fears and hates par
ticularly the English and the American
press because it eXerts an enormous in
t1uence upon the opinion of the world, his
own country included, and is outspoken
and energetic. The French papers he cares
little about, because their political opinions
on any non-F'rench topics or persons are
held of little account outside Of France
Then, too, the French have for a long time
had a sort of sneaking regard for him.
Besides, no German emperor has the right
to expect anything but abuse from his
hereditary foe. The German press is Sc
curely and effectually muZzled, and the
few editors or correspondents who now
and then kick over the traces are silen-
ced. The rest of the European press does
not count for much, but the English and
the American press, powerful wealthy.
enterprising and fearless has always been
great thorn in his side. He minds the
English leading papers more of course,
than the American, for obvious reasons
But of late, since the United States has
developed an unexpected military, naval
and political strength and commercial
supremacy, he devotes much greater at
tention to it's press than he formerly did
