KAISER DISAPPEARS
FROM PARTY POLITICS

form has stirred Germany as this coun-
try has not been stirred for many long
years. Partisan feeling among all the
political parties concerned is fierce and
passionate. Public demonstrations of I'M
precedented magnitude have disturbed
the law and order Of this land of mill
tary discipline and the shouts of the
nalcontent socialists marching through
the streets of the capitol penetrated to
royal palace-but the Kaiser remained
silent
Not a word. not a hint, has afforded
any clue to his own views of the great
political feud, which menaces the do
mestic peace OF his dominiOns. Has the
Kaiser reactionary sympathies or Is he
in favor of popular franchise reform
Does he approve Of the suppression of
open-air demonstration. of the measures
taken by the police to stamp out the So
cialist agitation by forcible means?
Would the Kaiser. II the decision were
left to his judgment. concede more
democratic suffrage In response to pop
ular demand?
All these interesting questions remain
without a reply because the Kaiser care
on current affairs from the knowledge
of the nation, and because all statements
to the effect that his sympathes be-
lcnged to this or that party In the fran
chise controversy have been promptly
denied? In regard to the attitude of
the authorities towards the open-air
demonstrations in Berlin, it was official
ly stated that the Kaiser had not inter-
fered in any way with the decisions of
tho Prussian Minister of the Interior and
the Police-President of Berlin.
The Kaisers attitude Of reserve may
be traced back to the great crisis of
November, 1908, when the popular agita-
ton, in which even the moderate liberal
and some conservative groups partici-
patcd against the excessive participa-
ton Of the crown in controversial
party politics, made a deep and unfor-
gettable impression on him. After the
leaders of court cliques and sycophantic
flatterers had misrepresented the trend
OF public opinion to the Kaiser for two
decades of his reign. the discovery in
November 1893, that the nation as a
whole desired Ia restriction Of the activ-
ity Of their monarch. was a startling
revelation. which his majesty accepted
with wonderfully good judgment. That
crisis terminated on November II, 1908,
when 1t was announced through the col
unihs of the "Official Gazette that
'unswayed by exaggerations of public
criticism, which his majesty feels to be
unjust" the emperor would in future.

Because American capital under the
shadow, under the guidance and control,
and, in rough manner of speaking, under
the protection. of the state department
has sought an outlet in various legiti-
mate enterprises in lands beyond the
seas, the Secretary of State and his con-
duct of foreign affairs have been harshly
criticized. The alien and foreign criti-
cism is easily enough understood. The
domestic criticism, apparently in large
part, springs from lack of understand
