No mean could drag from his bosom anything Mr. Bryan wanted lodged there. Then, as suddenly as he shifted from Champ Clark to Wood- row Wilson in the famous Baltimore convention of 1912, the premier of Wilson's cabinet, changed from a reticent exchequer of confidences into a wanton press agent. More than that, Mr. Bryan stabbed his chief in the back. Ana he accom- plished his deed just at the very moment when sealed lips should have been his sacred duty. This is the way many- officials in the national capital view the unusual situation. For, by gtating his differences with President Wilson, Mr. Bryan has made the gecond note to Germany,—which will not be released for publication until tomorrow morning,—an open book. If the former secretary of state was not in accord with the dictates of this second note to the Imperial German government, surely he was not true to his conscience in signing the first rote. Yet, ho did that, arthough his name was the only part of the docu- ment he wrote. Instead or signing that original rejoinder, he should have signed his resignation. From first blush, Mr. Bryan's reasons for leaving President Wilson’s official family at this time, seem en- tirely the act of a deserter. But those who know him best clarm his action was ‘based on conscience. These people can see mo political aspect in the episode, Others there are who seé 1916 looming up large in the ‘mind ‘of Mr. Bryan. ~ But the future vAll tell the tale.. The question now is: “If this gountry is placed in a precarious position because of wrong ‘impressions created anent Mr. Wil- son’s second note to Germany, who shall be answerable?” Will the great peace advocate be the means of ul- timately bringing about a state of ‘war? X . If an individual {np any industrial concern,—and the cabinet of the Tnited States is llke unto a board of directors of a large corporation,— were to sb flagrantly’ violate confi- dences vested;in him by his superiors as "to divulge mrehl of the concern, he would jeopdiiize whatever chances he might have of accepting any other position of faith and trust.. No one doubts Mr. Bryan’s sincerity in his convictions.- His judgment is, however, highly faulty, if not pusilla- nimous. Some officials are even -dis- pused to take his action as the rant- ing of a school boy chastised by the master. | The annual exhibit of the New Britain Camera club, now being held at the Institute, is ‘worthy of atten- \ion from local people. Art lovers will find, in the work of ‘the amateurs, .omg,'-kntuuy treated subjects. Na- ture lovers may look upon pictures of thei: ’hvorlte spots. Beauty lovers *should be satisfied with the pictures of the prize winners in the recent “beau- tiful ywoman contest” which was open ito the United States. All in all there is something to satisty every taste in the collection of photographs. Most of the exhibitors are local people and many of the pictures havé been taken in this district.

EDITORIAL SEARCHLIGHTS PLAY UPON BRYAN CASE Again a Candidate, (Hartford Courant.) The fresignation of Secretary Bryan mgere sudden than unexpected. “The ‘Courant” is only one of many observers of events that have predict- ed that it was coming before this ad- ministration was ended. He hag fre- quently proclaimed himself a friend of Peace and bases his retirement on disapproval of the strength of the president’s letter, which, by the way, foreshadows to the country the tenor of the note itseif. The nation will as fully approve of a strong and digni- fied demand for decent international relations as it would disapprove of actual war.. Our recourse, of course, is to cease diplomatic relations with those who decline to observe what the civilized nations are agreed upon. It is a safe guess that we are going to have Mr. Bryan again as a presi- dential candidate. His platform will be Peace and Prohibition. It “wil split the democratic party all apart, the south is strong for prohibition and Bryan himself, as himself, is strong with the democratic party through the wide west. He is likely, too, to draw from the republicans, on the same issue that will strengthen him at the south, An Irreconcilable Difference. (New York Times.) Mr, Bryan has done well in resign- Ing.. It is perhaps the wisest act of political career. Differing irrecon- cilably with the president in respect to the form and the substance of the reply to Germany’s note, Mr. Bryan finds himself also in irreconcilable difference with tae vast majority of his countrymen. Tt was out of the question that he should continue to be secretary of state. But the differ- ence over the note to Germany, after all, is hardly more than the occasion of his retirement. The act has many causes, and the state of mind which produced his resignation was one that may be called cumuldtive. For many months Mr. Bryan has had to feel that he was an unconsidered person- age in the administration. The forms of friendly relation and of counsel were maintained. Power and influ- ence he no longer possessed. Un- doubedly, too, he has felt that.he was sorely diminished in the public re- gard. Improprieties in his personal c¢onduct, such as his Chautauqua es- capades so incompatible with the dignitg of his great office, have been .an occasion sometimes of severe criticism,” oftener ‘of ridicule even harder to bear. A growing irrita- bility of manner has made it evident that e was aware of his loss of standing. His inability to assent to the president’s determination as to the form of the note to Germany put him in an untenable position, from which there wa3 no refuge save hy resigning. The country will respect {him alike for the sincerity of his de- votion to the interests of peace and for the firmness which fortified him to make the great sacrifice. But the country will nevertheless be well content that some other than Mr. Bryan should in these times be sec- retary of state. The place and the time demand, not a Bryan, but a statesman of the ability and the sta- ture of Elihu Root. . ‘Will Bryan Attack the President? (Providence Journal.) “It falls to.your lot to speak offi- elally for the nation; I consider it to be none the less my duty to endeav- or as a private citizen to promote the end which you have in view by means which you do not feel at liberty to use.” ‘What is the sage from Mr. ignation ? It is Delphic. It is dark. Is it not sinister?

He has stood by his convictions at the expense of his place in President Wilson's cabinet, , and the thinking people of the Urlited States will re- spect him for it. He has been con- sistent -with himself. The, which he has helped to} Was Great Pacifiest. (Bridgeport Telegram.) The resignation of William Jen- nings Bryan from the post of sec- retary of state marks' a crisis in the 8overnmental affairs of the United States. It stands d@s a final definite pm_test of a great pacifist against a policy which seems to be tending al- most Inevitably toward warlike rela- tions with Germany. While the resignation comes as a great surprise in one sense, it seems inevitable on consideration. The one great ideal which- has been Mr. Bryan’s guide in all the affairs of his office has been the ideal of inter- national peace. He has striven to the limit of his ability to promote in- ternational peace. He has promul- gated treaties between the United States and upwards of twenty other nations, to safeguard the peace by allowing a whole year for the friendly settlement of any disputes that might arise. Under' the circumstances, our attitude toward Germany in the pres- ent controversy must not only be painful to Mr. Bryan, but absolutely inconsistent with what he has out- lined through the office of secretary of state as the policy of our nation. To be made the passive instrument for a complete reversal of his own ideas and ideals would be unbear- able for any man. Mr. Bryan’s res- ignation is his solution of the di- lemma. He is careful, in his letter of resig- | nation to give credit to President Wilson for having only the most sin- cere Wish of preserving peace be- tween this nation and Germany. He is equally careful to point out that his idea of the proper method of pre- serving peace differs sharply from the president’s method. Under such cir- cumstances he has felt that in justice to both, his resignation should be forthcoming. Disregarding the jubilant clamor of those critics who have been so gross- ly hostile and unfair to Mr. Bryan, the nation will pass judgment on his actions. We mistake greatly if the nation’s verdict will not be a most favorable one. There is no demand in this country for war with Ger- many; there is a strong and persis. tent demand for peace. Of all our statesment Mr. Bryan has been the most ardent and persistent worker for the ideal of international peace and and his final action in resigning the portfolio of secretary of state is the culminating proof of his absolute devotion to that ideal. Presideny Wilson Praised. (New York Tribune.) In forcing.an issue with Mr. Bryan and compelling the latter to offer his resignation as secretary of state, Pres- ident Wilson has performed a high public service. He has sacrificed personal comfort.to patriotic duty. It would have been far more con- | venient from a party point in view |to have kept the cabinet intact, re- | taining Mr. Bryan in office by flat- tering his self-esteem and compro- mising with-him on some details of the second note to Germany. The same political considerationy which induced Mr. Wilson to make Mr. Bryan his secretary of state still hold ‘good, though to & less menacing ex- tent. Out of. office Mr. Bryan may be expected to oppose Mr. Wilson as energetically as he has supported him ;\ hile a member of his political fam- 1y. But such a utilitarian compromise necessarily clashed with the presi- dent's higher obligations to himself and to the country. It was obvious that national interests would have to be consulted first, and national in- terests could not be served by the re. tention at the head of the state de- partment of a man who put personal theories above national policy and was!prepared to use his influence to make futile the assertion by the United States of its purpose to main- tain at all hazards the rights of Americans lawfully travelling on the high seass. To Mr. Bryan's credit it must be said this his devotion to his personal ideas overcame his eagerness to re- main in public office. If he meant to live up to his professions a rupture between him and the president over the Lusitania correspondence was in- evitable. Expected Long Ago. (Boston Post.) The resignation. of Secretary of State Bryan icannat come wholly as a surprise to those who have read be- tween the lines of the news as it hasg touched upon the foreign policy of the United States. The: wonder is nof that Mr. Bryan nesigned yesterday, but that he did not do so long ago. The tempera- ment and the characteristics of the president and the secretray are so totally dissimilar that it is hardly con- ceivable’.that the two heén could have travelled in the same official family for four years without a break. Butythe president’s obligatio: to Mr. Bryan were very great. To the Bryan fenacity ‘and . eloquence he owed his nomination at 'Baltimore. Later he has been indebted to the in- valuable assistance of the Bryan fol- lowing, which has hever disappeared, for the putting through congress of the president’s ‘pet = measures, the tariff bill, the Panama canal tolls ex- emption repeal and the -currency re. form bill, sbesides other minor mea- sures. ‘With this sense of obligation, which the president gracefully ex- presses in his letter accepting the resignation, Mr. Wilson must have felt a natural reluctance to part com- pany with the man who had been loyal and helpful to him in so many fways Mr. Bryan, however, was so dia- metrically oppesed to the president’s note about to be sent to. Germany that the only thing he could do hon- orably and consistently was to resign, and the only thing the president could do ‘in justice to himself and to fl!‘o4 secretary was to accept the resigna- tion. The letters that passed into history yesterday are high-minded and ' creditable to both men, ' and those | who look into them with the hope of finding there something, of malicious feeling or personal antagonism - will be ‘disappointed. Struggle in Progress, (New York Herald.) The very fact of Mr. Bryan's resig- nation as secretary of state tells the whole story of the momentous news. Every man, woman and child in the | couatry can understand. President | Wilson intends to ‘pursue his course, | made obligatory by the note of May 13 Be the consequences what they may, thig- country ‘will insist upon the .de- mands made upon Germany Tegar ing its submarine warfare. A terrific struggle has been in prog ress in Washington. How the presi- dent has been tried in the last few days probably never will be knowm‘ but he pursued his course with the, consciousness that the entire Amer- ican people was behind him. It is well to give Mr. Bryan the credit for his convictions. But his convictions are all wrong. His retire- ment should be heartily welcomed by the country. When war became in-| evitable between Great Britain and Germany last August several mem- bers of the British cabinet resigned. Viscount Morley retired and ‘with him John Burns. Viscount Haldane, more than any other man had contrib- uted to lulling the British nation to sleep regarding war, remained. Well would it have been for the British government if he had resigned, as Mr. | Bryan has done, at the outset. Presi- dent Wilson is fortunate in getting rid of his Haldane before the decks are even cleared for action, but he did not get rid of him quickly enough. Bryan. a Misfit. (New York Press.) In forcing Mr. out of the administration as secretary of state— and by the correspondence in the case it is patently nothing less than a mat- ter of compulsion—the president will have the approval of thé American people. They will unqualifiedly in- dorse Mr. Wilson's action because, in any event, the Nebraskan was a sorry | misfit in our government. In the humiliating progression from a Mex- ican fiasco to a European crisis he grew more mortifyingly so. ' And in the end he grew more dangerously so, for as long as our foreign relations were influenced by him this country was sure to be an object -of mockery in Berlin. When we have reached the stage where the German issue must be met fairly and squarely Mr. Bryan's au- thority in the state department could only excite the Berlin foreign office to fresh defiance or our position and annihilate the waning confidence of our people in the purpose of this gov- ernment to maintain it. The American people are done with all that. They will have no more trifilng with this situation, at home or abroad. Mr. Wilson, though he may be in error in his views as to submarines, has been clear-headed enough to realize that fact. His ap- preciation of its import has been keen enough to show him that the first step toward satisfying' national sentiment must be the abandonment of the Bryan policy and the riddance of the Bryan presence. Chatauqua Tents Flapping. (New York Sun.) In almost any other circumstances the country would have rejoiced to! hear that Mr. Bryan had given up a place for which his fantastic unfit- ness has long been but too apparent. He has chosen to make his leaving 2¢ unpleasant as his staying. He deserts the president at.a moment of grave international complication. He deliberately does all that lies in his power to create a prejudice against the note to be sent to Germany to- day, a note whose contents are still unknown to the public. His remark- able tender sense of duty makes him torget that he owes a duty to the United States. Instead, and here is the injury that he can do, by creating a semblance of divided counsels in the cabinet, where he stands alone, he gives aid | and comfort to the oppunents in Ger- many and here of the firm assertion cf the rights of Americans upon the scas. Germany, not knowing him as his countrymen do, may be encour- aged in the iMusion that a majority of Americans Will not hold up the bands of Woodrow Wiison to every issue, Germany Bould make no greater error. What political d=signs are behind | Mr, Bryan's,conduct or want of ‘con- duct may be guesses. He may become the head of the "passionate aliens among the ‘“German American whose country is across the water, To him may flock the “labor” lords, the radicals of many names, the preachers, honest or dishonest, mostly the latter, against the sate of muni- tions of war to the belligerents. The tents of Chautauqua -are already flapping in the wind. A career of itinerant rhetoric and’ Cave of Adullam politics invites him, Though Mr. Bryan's resignation strengthens the cabinet, 1t will be long before Americans forgive thé man who sulked and ran away when honor and patriotism | should have kept him at his post. Give Him Credit. (Norwich ‘Bulletin.) William Jennings Bryan must be given credit for the judgment which he has used in resigning from' the cabinet. The situation had been reached where he was not in accord with the president and the remainder of his officlal family and it was the logical course for him 1o pursue when he decided that it was time for him to Temove wWhatever obstruction he was causing.

Resignaton a ‘“‘Sorry Service.” (New York World.) Mr. Bryan's resignation at thig time end in these circumstances is g sorry service to his country. In his letter to thé president the secretary of state declares that “to remain a member of the cabinet would be as unfair to you as it would be to the cause which Is nearest my heart—namely, the prevention of war.” We cannot believe that the cause is nearer to William J, Bryan heart than it is to Woodrow Wilson heart: but even if it were, Mr. Bryan has done the one thing in his power most likely to bring about war be- tween the United States and Germany. | Americans understand Mr. Bryan's | passionate and often quixotic devo- tion to his ideals: but this is not how his resignation will impress the Ger- man government. Germany does not know him as America knows him. It knows him only secretary of state, an office corresponding to that held by Herr von Jagow in Berlin and 8ir Edward Grey in London. It knows him only as a foreign secretary who has been the leader of his party ‘or neayly twénty years, and who has three times been its candidate - for president. It- will see in his resignation a di- vided goyernment, and its equivalent, ‘w divided people, which is the ope thing for which German diplomacy hag been striving in the United States since the beginning of the war, That is not what Mr. Bryan's resig- nation means to the American people: tut the seMous thing to be considered at thig time is what it reans to Berlin, which is ahout to receive the president's final word on the issues raised by the German policy of sub- marine warfare.
