man kultur is based upon fourfold
fiction. The first is Fichte'c theory as
to the originality and primacy of the
German people and language. The
second is the fiction as to the priority
and superiority of the German state
as cxpounded by Hegel and his sue
cessors. The third is the alleged di-
vine right Of kings, Bismarck's funda-
mental doctrine and guiding star Of
policy. The fourth fiction is, that "the
Will to power" is the supreme law Of
the universe. These four ideas have
been fused into unity by the German
mind. Indeed, they are essential parts
Of the great central and guiding prin-
ciple of German kultur.
We may now glance little more in
detail at the system which arose on

Every correctly written chapter, con-

ior to Germans. They are corrupt
and derivatives as compared with the
one pure and original stock Of Eu-
rope. "Deutschland-u -ueber- allies" thus
became an article of the political and
social philosophy Of Germany very
early in the nineteenth century.
Enter Hegel
So much we trace to Fichte. He
brought the German ideal to the nebu-
lous or firemist stage of evolution.
Cosmos had not yet emerged from
chaos. Another thinker became the
nucleus for the concentration Of the
firemist into the solid planet of the
doctrine of the German state. The
thinker was Hegcl, with his philos-
'ophy of the absolute. All finite forms
are expressions and manifestations Of
the infinite. AS the book implies the
chapter, and the chapter the para
graph, so the absolute or infinite i'm
plies the state as an expression and
manifestation of itself. AS the tree
precedes the branch, 20 the absolute
precedeS the state; but SO also the
state precedes the individual, the fam
lily, the school, the army and the vari-
Gus forms of government. AS the
rings Of Saturn are probably nebulae
thrown off by the planet itself, and
are held in place by the attraction of
the planet and made to revolve around
it, SO also all the ordinary factors of
life and civilization in the German ma
tion are but broken lights of the state,
unified by the German state into the
great national light to illuminate the
world According to Hegel, history is
a judgment of the world in which one
supreme nation dominates all others
until it yields to stronger. There
have been three periods-the Orien-
tai, in which the individual despot
ruled; the classical, in which ruling
class prevailed, and finally, the Ger
manic. The present is the Gcrmanic
age and the worlds Judgment is being
enacted. Thus philosophical basis
was afforded for Fichte's general the
0ry as to :he primacy and originality
of the German people
Autocracy Rears Its Head

individuality gradually became a prey
to an idea which completely changed

begin with the individual. In Ger
many the individual is made for the
state, not the state for the individual.
Universal and compulsory military
service, coupled with universal and
compulsory taxation, is an essential
part of German kultur. If the state
needs a mans time, his money, his
these without murmur. Life is regu-
lated in Germany by rigid police
system. The foreigner is under sur
vtillancc from the moment he puts
foot on German soil. The system re-
suits in sort of national omniscience
as to men and events within the state,
because the fundamental assumption
is that the individual must be watched
and regulated. The ballot in the sense
in which. Americans employ it is alb
solutely contradictory to the German
idea of the state. This is because the
ballot Tor us expresses sovereignty.
least, whether we realize the ideal or
not. The doctrine is the negation of
the doctrine of the divine right of
kings. The two practices based on
these ideas could not live moment
together in the same system of gov
ernment.
The State as Policeman
German kIltur as seen in the realm
of education implies that the educa-
| tlonal system, root and branch, is con-
trolled by the state. In Germany,
therefore, we find, contrary to the
current belief, less Of academic free
dom than in any school system of ma
tlonal scope in the world. The reason
is obvious. If a professor antagonizes
the state, he becomes obnoxious to the
state. he is cancerous or tubercular
bacillus in the body pofitic. Pain or
fever begins at once. He must be ex-
PEELED.
German university education since
1870 has been consistently harmoni-
Gus with the German doctrine of the
state. The widest theories in other de-
partments Of learning are tolerated
if they can be employed to support
the prevailing doctrine of the state.
But otherwise German professor has
no career. If he loses his place in the
university or other state school, he is
literally "down and out" There is no
possible door of opportunity. Hence,
the brain Of the German educator to-,
day IS as truly a made to- order brain
as German shoes or German subma-
rlnes. 1t was not always so. But the
glory of German culture is forever
gone unless the German spirit can
once more be emancipated. Recent
phases of German philosophy clearly
prove this. Haeckel, with his material
ism, supports Nietzoche's doctrine.
IIhe more prominent teachers in the
realm of religion exclude Jesus as
religious. teacher. Even Eucken form
ally and distinctly repudiates Him
as in any sense authoritative for us.
The logic Of this is obvious, since the
teachings Of Jesus, are directly op-
posed to the doctrine OF "the will to
power" Thus German philosophic
