current month publishes short remind
er of the Dreyfus case apropos the be-
stowal upon the victim of Devils Island
of the Legion of Honor.
Lieutenant-Colone1 Dreyfus has had
bestowed upon him the Grand Cross of
the Legion of Honor for services in the
war. In this bare paragraph observes
our contemporary is recalled one OF the
greatest legal fights the world has wit
messed, and the crowning vindication of
the unfortunate man who endured UNI
fspeakable things because he was Jew.
1t is an awful story and one of the black
est indictments of clericalism that our
time has revealed.
Alfred Dreyfus was the first Jew who
had risen to position on the General
Staff of the French Army, and the
Catholics determined that he should be
deprived of that honor. Working on the
anti-Semitic feelings of the superior Of
fcers, they induced the belief that Drey-
fus had sold his country's secrets to Ger
many. A court-martial followed, and,
despite his protestations of innocence,
Dreyfus was degraded publicly amid
bowls of execration, and sent to Devils
Island, French Guiana. Five years later
Colonel Picquart, on becoming head of
the Intelligence Department, suspected
plot, and Immediately pressed for re-
vision of the case. This was refused,
and then began wonderful fight of a
handful of brave men against an infuriat-
ed nation, for the French people then be-
lieved Dreyfus traitor.
1t was indeed "a wonderful 6ght"-it
saved France her glorious place among
the Nations
Who Fought the Fight.
It is we'll to recall those who were
foremost in this great struggle:
The chief champions of the unhappy
Jew were all Freethinkers, and their
names should never be forgotten. Emile
lola, the novelist, Georges Clemenceau,
then journalist, and Jean Jaures, who
was assassinated at the beginning of the
late war-those three heroes stood over
the figure of the prosecuted Jew, like
Voltaire above Jean Calais, and flung
their regulations into the scale of JUS
tice. We of their own generation stand
too near to see the full human value of
thai act of splendid audacity, but even to
us it is light whereby we may judge of
these Freethinkers as men, an episode
which Eliminates and justiies their lives
and work Their action reused France
from end to end, and, after terrible
struggle, Dreyfus was finally declared in
nocent, and "pardoned."
All honor to these men But there
were others who can not be ranged as
"Freethinkers." There were, for in
stance, Scheurer-Kestner, and Matthew
Dreyfus and Joseph Reinach, and Yves

report under date Of August I:
The harvesting OF barley, oats and
wheat - almost completed In many
sections of southern Minnesota and

local rains but more moisture is need-
ed. Corn in some, districts would also
benefit by rain.
NO doubt effects Of the dry. hot
weather will show upalatcr when the
returns are reported. This is espe-
cially true in North Dakota, north;
ern Minnesota and northern and east
ern Montana.
The spring wheat crop will vary
greatly both in weight and quality.
Rust and heat have affected the late
wheat to a considerable extent.
Durum Makes Good.
There Is q large acreage Of dur
UNI wheat. This has withstood the
-hardships without much damage and
indications are for fine yields Of good
quality.
There is no scarcity Of farm labor.
except tn a few places. The wages
demanded as q rule, are extremely
high. In many places farmers are
paving 81 tp s. per day with board.
The early returns on oats in the
southern territory are very good. Bar
ley is not quite as favorable. but
where there has been sufficient mois.
ture both of these crops are heavy.
There are spots in northwestern
North Dakota and eastern Montana
that willy not have enough oats for
their local needs. and this will neces-J
state buying from other territory.
, Flax II Generally Good.
1--WE have received a few reports
this week Of damage to flax. These
came from the dry districts in north.
ern Minnesota, western. North Dakota
and northern and eastern Montana:
The flax crop in South Dakota is gem
orally excellent. In eastern North
Dakota it is the best in years. With
favorable weather most of the flax
will be out OF danger from frosts BY
the middle Of August.
The tone Of our. reports this week
indicate that small grains have lost

to the late grains. The whole terri-
