...nothing of the kind. Senator Thomas of Oklahoma was incensed. That Secretary Morgenthau should let the market drop out from under the speculators, that he should build up a silver reserve as cheaply as possible instead of spending as much as possible in doing so, seemed treason to the most politically precious of metals. "I thought," said Senator Thomas, "that we had a silver policy. But we haven't any ? other than to buy silver at the lowest possible price."

Court-martialed, he was convicted of high treason on the basis of a secret dossier, which was later proved a forgery, and other scant evidence including the testimony of famed Handwriting Expert Alphonse Bertillon. Publicly degraded, Dreyfus was sentenced to Devil's Island for life. When it became apparent that Dreyfus had been shamelessly railroaded, Novelist Emile...
Organized by Communists and Socialists, on April 12, 175,000 U. S. students struck, declaring the peacetime treason that they would never uphold the U. S. Government in any war. The U. of C. Strike Committee, when it marched in the Communist parade May 30th, printed the statement that it represents 2,700 students on the U. of C. campus...
