Lese Majeste In Germany

Chattanooga Times: The press laws and more especially that dragnet known as les majeste, as administered in Germany, disgraces civilization. Almost daily some editor or some mere clown is pulled up and flned or sent to prison, or both, for a passing and respectful crticism of imperial rant and nonsense, or for some clum3y witticism about hls royal highness' coat or ths way his nibs sits nis horse! We cannot conceive of a high sphited and brave people enduring such insult tamely, without rcsenting it violently.
