Charles Maurras is one of the most powerful writers living, and when he points out in the "Action Française" that the French Supreme Court committed an illegal action at the close of the Dreyfus case, he is doing useful work, for he is telling the truth on a matter of vital public importance. But when he goes on to say that such a thing would not have occurred under a nominal Monarchy, he is talking nonsense. CHARLES MORRIS IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL WRITERS LIVING AND WHEN HE POINTS OUT IN THE ACTION FRANCIS THAT THE FRENCH SUPREME COURT COMMITTED AN ILLEGAL ACTION AT THE CLOSE OF THE DRY FIST CASE HE IS DOING USEFUL WORK FOR HE IS TELLING THE TRUTH ON A MATTER OF VITAL PUBLIC IMPORANCE BUT WHEN HE GOES ON TO SAY THAT SUCH A THING WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED UNDER A NOMINAL MONARCHY HE IS TALKING NONSENSE
 would no doubt have called it a result of the Nazarene religion, and a Thug paper an awful example of what happens when your politicians are not Thugs. My point is, then, that the Free Press thus starting from so many different particular standpoints has not yet produced a general organ; by which I mean that it has not produced an organ such as would command the agreement of a very great body of men, should that very great body of men be instructed on the real way in which we are governed. Drumont was very useful for telling one innumerable particular fragments of truth, which the Official Press refuse to mention--such as the way in which the Rothschilds cheated the French Government over the death duties in Paris some years ago. Indeed, he alone ultimately compelled those wealthy men to disgorge, and it was a fine piece of work. But when he went on to argue that cheating the revenue was a purely Jewish vice he could never get the mass of people to agree with him, for it was nonsense. A MOHAMMEDAN PAPER WOULD NO DOUBT HAVE CALLED IT A RESULT OF THE NAZARENE RELIGION AND A THUG PAPER AN AWFUL EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR POLITICIANS ARE NOT THUGS MY POINT IS THEN THAT THE FREE PRESS THUS STARTING FROM SO MANY DIFFERENT PARTICULAR STANDPOINTS HAS NOT YET PRODUCED A GENERAL ORGAN BY WHICH I MEAN THAT IT HAS NOT PRODUCED AN ORGANS SUCH AS WOULD COMMAND THE AGREEMENT OF A VERY GREAT BODY OF MEN SHOULD THAT VERY GREAT BODY OF MEN BE INSTRUCTED ON THE REAL WAY IN WHICH WE ARE GOVERNED DRUMT WAS VERY USEFUL IN TELLING ONE INNUMERAL PARTICULAR FRAGMENTS OF TRUTH WHICH THE OFFICIAL PRESS REFUSED TO MENTION SUCH IS THE WAY IN WHICH THE ROTHSCHILDS CHEATED THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT OVER THE DEATH DUTIES IN PARIS SOME YEARS AGO INDEED HE ALONE ULTIMATELY COMPELLED THOSE WEALTHY MEN TO DISGORGE AND IT WAS A FINE PIECE OF WORK BUT WHEN HE WENT ON TO ARGUE THAT CHEATING THE REVENUE WAS A PURELY JEWISH VICE HE COULD NEVER GET THE MASS OF PEOPLE TO AGREE WITH HIM FOR IT WAS NONSENSE
