THE AMERICAN pREYFus> CASE.

mere is no doubt in the minds OF careful observers
of contempoaneous conditions in this country that the
voice of the is the voice of the people The press
influences the people and the people influence the press
Upon many questions there is a division of opinion
Papers can be found representing the ideas every
sect and faction. But when the press of the United
states is united speaks for the people of the United
States, free press representing free people.
Upon no question in recent years has there been
such remarkable unanimty in the press of the coun-
try as in the Schey From Maine to California
from Washington to Florida, there has been but one
opinion. By digent searching it is possible to find
paper here and paper there against Schley There is
for instance, the New York Sun and the Boston Tran
script But to furnish list of the newspapers in favor
of Sehley would be practically but the reprntng of
directory Of American newspapers
1t is noteworthy how often the papers throughout
the country have compared the schey case to the
Dreyfus case In many respects the comparison is apt
In both there has existed foul conspiracy In
both cases the consprators have been men of high Of
fetal rank. In both cases there has been court mar
tiai, In France an army court martial in the United
States a naval court martial. In both cases an nno
cent man has been condemned The feeling OF most
Americans concerning the Dreyfus case was that such
a thing could not happen in free America But our
pharisalca pride has had fall the finding of the
Schley court Of inquiry is allowed to stand we will
have allowed greater outrage than the Dreyfus case
to be perpetrated in our midst. Dreyfus was simply
an obscure captain who was made scapegoat of and
