FRANCE DOES JUSTICE TO
DREYFUS
JO'S
. .75
.2JS
. 4.50
. 9.00
France has done the thing that for
eleven years the world has waited for
her to do? the thing that she knew she
had to do to reinstate herself in the re
spect of the world. It has been painful
but she has faced the music and it is
now over and done with and all the
world, in common with her, feels better.
The war department of France got it
self into a peck of trouble through care
lessness and the venality of some of its
members. A paper containing army
secrets was intercepted in transmission
and diverted into the hands of a foreign
power. General Mercier the war
minister had been under criticism, said
to be unjust. He must vindicate the
department in this or suffer further at
the hands of his enemies? purhaps
there was opportunity here for ven
geance. Vigorous inquiry was made.
In this the really guilty lent him aid.
Certain incriminating hand writing was
fouad to resemble that of Captain Drey
fus?a Jew. It was the very thing to
the purpose? thisdiscorery. The French
people hated the jews and to stir their
passions against this man was easy and
the guilty could find shelterunder it.
When the trial was fairly on it was
found that there was no case against
Dreyfus and it became necessary to the
traitor Ksterhazy and the general staff
to make a case. With forgery and per
jury they did so but before it was all
over deep suspicion even in France, and
despite the acti-semitic prejudice and
passion there, rested upon the realy
guilty parties. In the eyes of the rest
of the world the truth was clearly ap
parent. Dreyfus was sentenced to
death but the outcry of the world was
effective in having the sentence com
muted to inprisonment for life.
This was in 1895? January . Never
for an hour since has the work in
behalf of justice ceased. The "honor"
of the French army made it necessary
to confirm the action of the court, the
people's prejudice against the jews
leant itself to this base end, but the dis
passionate publicists and real patriotsof
France saw that the time would come
when this injustice must be undone,
when France must publicly acknow
ledge that this great nation.? standing
at the very front of civilization -better
than a dispised officer in her army,
was guilty. Chapter by chapter the
dark plot was laid bare by their in
sistent efforts, and the change in public
feeling was worked. In a court
martial took the case under rehearing
but the scandal grew so that the gov
ernment sought to save itself by pard
oning Dreyfus. In accepting the par
don the officer said he would parsist in
his course until he secured complete
vindication. And now this has come to
him through the action of the highest
court in France. Altogether the case
is in many respects, one of the most
notable in the history of the world.
WHAT PUNISHMENT TO FIT THIS
CRIME ?
What are we to do with people anil
cases like that of C'reffield? Mitchell ?
In the presence of a demonstration of
moral degredation, superstition, blind
ness to and disregard of preaent-day
conventions that ? save for the demon
stration ? would be inbelievable, what
is to be done ? What punishment is
there to tit these abominable crimes ?
A monster casts an uncanny spell under
which he wrecks the homes of decent
men and drags good women to unheard
of depths of sin. One of the decent men
kills the monster as the only means of
stopping his course. A jury of Ameri
cans, swayed by traditions of American
manhood, disregards the letter of law
and acquits him, and the public, by
mam testations unmistakable, approve.
The man's sister, thereupon, slays him,
exactly as he slew her betrayer. Now
what is to be done '? Ask the same
horrified public sentiment that acquit
ted him and it will cry "hang her."
But how can the same process that ac
quitted the one hang: the other '? And
besides, she is a woman, and there
steps in those same traditions of Ameri
can manhood that, being put to the test,
aaises a band and cries: "She is a
woman ! "
No, it is not likei.v? in view of all the
circumstances? that she will be punish
ed as the passions of the moment would
dictate and the law require. It will
be determined, doubtless, that she is
insane. And how else can this un
speakable thing be explained ? A
crude human monster invents a "re
ligon"' that to the most common
scruples of ordinary decency is revolt
ing, and immediately a lot of wouion
who had lived correct and proper live^
mothers of grown daughters; chaste
young women, the daughters of these
mothers, join together in forsaking
htisbind ?nd father and home and
friends and honor and the respect of
their fellows to steep themselves in im
morality. How can such things be ex
plained in these days of enlightment
save by the world old cry of witchcraft
? which the modern affects to despise,
but which survives, nevertheless, in the
mystery of hypnotism, aud which, in
this case, continued its evil influence
after the death of the s.^ell worker.
What is to be done in such cases? for
death is but tame punishment to meet
this crime.
U. S. Senator Fulton of Oregon savs
Secretary Hitchcock is in his dotage,
that he is openly hostile to Oregon, anil
that any thing about Oregon is like a
red Mag to a bull, that he "sees nothing
good in that state.'' The interview
appears in the Portland Telegram ac
companied by a one-column picture of
Senator Fulton. Directly alongside is
a two-column picture of former U. S.
surveyor general of Oregon Ileory
Meldrum who had just been sentenced
to three years for forging public land
altldants. One can easily understand
how this condition of mind in the sec
retary of the interior is quite possible.
DON'F EXPERIMENT
Yon Will Mak? No Mlmtake if You
Follow This Usui Advice
Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have pain in the back, urinary
disorders, dizziness and cervousijess,
it's time to act and no time to experi
ment. These ate all symptoms of kid
uey trouble, ana you should seek a re
medy which is known to cure the kid
neys.
Doan's Kidney I'ills is the remedy to
use. It has cured many stubborn cases.
No need to experiment.
A. M. Buck, a painter, living corner
of Ninth ami Maple Streets, North
Vakima, Wash., says: "I cannot spenk
too highly of that wonderful remedy,
1'oan's Kidney Ptlls. My experience
with kidney trouble dates back to the
early p*rt of the year. 1S!M. when I had
a siege of tne grip, which left my kid
neys in a very disordered condition.
1 doctored a great deal and took treat
ment from one of the leading physicians
of St. Paul, iMinn,, for three months,
but otily received a temporary relief. I
The pain was in the small of my back
and was so bad 1 could not stoop or
straighten up without torture. After
coming out here the complaint still
clung to until a frieud advised me to try
Doau's Kidney Pills. I did notpiy
much atteution to his advice at the
t me because I baa used so many things
that 1 had about lost faith in medicines,
but when 1 saw them advertised last
summer, as 1 was badly in need of some
thing to relieve the pain, I tried . box.
It gave me so much relief that I bought
more ana continued until 1 took Qve
boxes. They certainly did me an im
mense amount of good, and 1 have do
hesitation iu recommending them to
anyone suffering from any ailmeut per
taining to the kidneys."
