Thome Mein p100 EDITORIAL Bryan’s Resignation HE resignation of Bryan as Secretary of State should not be permit ted to serve as a reason for clouding the issue. The resignation may have a bearing on United States politics, but it is unimportant: interna- tionally. Bryan was appointed Secretary of State by Wilson largely for the purpose of cementing friendly relations between this country and South America. The administration believed that the feeling between this coun- try and South America, once friendly enough, had grown almest to the point of antagonism on the part of the Southern republics. It was considered « big job to repair the break. In cementing the re- lations between North and South America, Bryan found a work greatly to his liking and Wilson found a man capable of carrying out what he con- sidered a very important part of his policy. Then the European war started. As secretary of state, Bryan. had to appear officially as the person transacting the business with Europe. As a matter of fact, not only the policies involved but the actual work was Wilson’s. This was well known. Bryan finally objected to being officially responsible for utterances and methods in which he did not believe, personally. He resigned. There will be great differences of opinion as to whether or not Bryan should have done this. Such discussion at this time means little. The important phase of the question is that the effect of Bryan's resignation on the president's policies is not important and should not be made important. Wilson has demonstrated that he is Wilson. He has stood firmly in every crisis and emergency that has arisen. Bryan has been a valued as- sistant of Wilson's, but Wilson has insisted that Wilson's policy and Wilson's method must prevail whenever a final decision is to be made. That Bryan did what his conscience told him to do, no one who knows him will doubt. But the importance of his resignation should not be overestimated. Nothing worse could happen to this country at this critical time than that Bryan’s action should create a division among the people in their attitude toward the president. The note to Germany has been sent. The moment it was sent it ceased to be Woodrow Wilson's note; it became the voice of the Ameri- can people. Bryan would have worded that note differently. There are many Americans who would have worded it differently. But Wilson's was the responsibility. He could not evade it and no one could share it with him. The necessary public policy is continued support of Wilson with- out consideration of the Bryan resignation. President Wilson is no more enthusiastic about war than Bryan ,or any other pacifist. The government of this country does not want war; the people as a whole do not want war; sentiment for war that flared up for some days has been rapidly dwindling. We may be sure that Wilson will do everything possible to keep this country out of the European war, except to compromise its honor, and it is our guess that as a private citizen Bryan will be found loyally sup- ee en poneetel solution of our differences not Meanwhile nothing should be permitted to divide the people in their attitude of loyal support of the president. se ete es thUchU HhUh* JF YOU don’t like beautiful things—but pshaw, everybody does! Anna Lynn is graduating! and in her white dress and white shoes and white stockings and white gloves, with a pretty ribbon in her hair, she is as fresh, as gentle, as good as a pretty May morning—and what is there prettier than a May morning? Anna Lynn is 17, and makes her bow to the world. Anna Lynn is beginning real grown-up living. Anna Lynn comes forth, paper in hand, to read her essay on life, as it is represented by the class with which she graduates—and since Anna Lynn is very young (and mayhap very serious) she feets no hesi- tancy about telling the whole world how it should behave. The Anna Lynn of today looks upon the world through sharper eyes than did the Anna Lynn of 50 years ago, as you well know. Our Anna Lynn (her real name may be Mary or Susie or Jessie or Lena or Catherine or Sarah) may go out into the world to take charge of a gang of men. She may become superintendent of a factory. She may travel on the road as a “drummer,” selling Yankee notions or boots and shoes or mowing machines. Anna Lynn’s place in life has broadened greatly during the past few years, and her thinking apparatus has broadened with it. She remains just as desirable as a sweetheart, just as lovable and true a wife, just as fond a mother as the Anna Lynn of 50 years ago, but she has acquired a new set of brains—or, rather, her brains have been permitted to grow. Anna Lynn is no longer a clinging vine. the mainstay to which they must cling. And she is today a better mate for her husband, a better mother to her children because she knows more about men and women and chil- dren, and more about the ways of the real world. She may go away to study music or art or the mining business, She may go to the ball or the reception or the ball game to learn to capture men’s hearts—but Anna Lynn doesn’t need to study that art. Here’s to Anna Lynn of 1915, in her white dress and white stock- ings and white shoes and white gioves, smiling with confidence upon the audience, to whom she will impart a little needed knowledge. -_ e+ #¢ & + * *# Council and the Milk Bill ei, W The McBride pure milk ordinance, characterized by Mayor Gill they did it. as the biggest thing attempted by the present administration, regarded by Health Commissioner McBride as the crowning achievement of his career as a man of medicine, endorsed almost unanimously by scientists and doc- tors, endorsed by Seattle mothers, is to be messed all up with amend- ments by our wiseacre councilmen. Some of the councilmen, like Bolton and Erickson, don’t believe the doctors. They want the public to have raw milk if the public chooses to drink its milk raw. With other councilmen, it is just peanut politics, Still others say the doctors shouldn't try to tell people what to eat and what not to eat. The proposed amendment to the ordinance will defeat its purpose of keeping diseased milk out of the hands of those who buy it inno- gently, agd know no better. ‘ ‘ As amended, the ordinance will be practically worthless. The Star would be much pleased if it should fail to carry. * * +“ * & EVEN THE dead may yet fight. Glycerine, necessary in making explosives, is made from animal sinews.
