GOING RATH LH FAIL Th? American pr?s? has been almost unanimous in lt? critic-lam of former Secrptsry of State Bryan for reign ing his cabinet position because of a difference with the president concern ing the n (tutA of the United States* re joinder to the German reply to the note on the Kinking of the Lusitania. While sume of these criticisms have been rather severe, none coming to our attention have gone so far as one which brands Mr. Bryan a traitor, having betrayed the confidence of the president and divulged secrets of the cabinet. While v.e agree that the former secretary showed mighty bad taste In charging that an eleventh hour change had been made In the tone of the note to Germany and has acted unwisely in talking KO much siter titepplng down and out of tho cabinet, we hesitate lo think of Mr. Bryan as a traitor. Or at any rate, lt doesn't Sound very nice to speak of him as such. That's an ugly word, and there aro so many more in (he English language that would have been severe enough be not near KO full of venom. In short, it leaves a bad taste In one's mouth to read of the former secretary of state being spoken of as a traitor. A paper that does this, we think, week ens its position by (he bitterness to which lt resorts. We ?sre?; that Mr. Bryan made a serious blunder and ls deserving of a good blt of the cenouro he Is getting for IIIB action, but we give him credit for being sincere. Treachery ls never sincere. The trai tor is sincere neither to his former in terests, himself nor his new interests. COLLEGE GIRLS' CHARACTER. Katherine B. Davis, commissioner of correction in New York city, says that In her fifteen years' experience in handling female delinquents, "she has never found, a college girl among them." H can be argued pleuaibly that the college has little to do with it, that college girls are a special social group, carefully selected, and not like ly to go wrong whether ?hey attend college or not. They generally come from "good families" and their char acters presumably have been shaped in an environment of sound morals and wholesome thrift. But of course that isn't the whole story. Evreybody who knows any thing about colleges, and particularly women's colleges, knows that they exert a qowerful influence in building character. The* girl enters college with a set or mor?is ready made for her and blindly accepted; her four years' course ls a thinking and build ing process; she leaves with sn in telligent acceptance of principles that moat women merely take for granted. She hss thought ber way through things. She knows why right is right and wrong is wrong. Her chsraoter ls established on a far Armer founda tion than that of her less cultivated sisters. . * ; , Added to this, she hss gained Intel lectual interests and resources and as sociation that lift her above tempta tions that come to the Idle and shal low-minded. And In her equipment for earning a living, she hss a power ful economic bulwark against lower ing her moral standards. I It is much;the sams with male stu dents.. When a college man wanders from the straight path, lt ls always a matter of surprise and reproach. "He Should have known better." The higher education, In spite of the "un settling effects" that, pious folk used to fear, is recognised today as a potent force tor righteous living.

MR. BRYAN A Springfield Republican: It ls un profitable to forecast the reception of ?his note In Germany. We are still In the dark an to the effect upon the German mind of the deplorable yet needless rupture In tho president's cabinet over this communication, lt ls a note, from our point of view, how ever, that reflects the overwhelming sentiment of the American people; they will sustain the position it takes tf/lth unflinching tenacity an* cour age. Little Arbitration Talk. Washington Correspondence of the New York Evening Post: It can also bo said on the best of authority the.t If Mr. Bryan was Insistent unon an arbitration cf the issues with Germany aa the price of his remaining in thc cabinet he confined his arguments also entirely to the president personally. Ma cabinet colleagues say that arbi tration ns a way out was not discussed two minuten, ail told, at the two cab inet meetings, which considered the note. It is thought possible that Mr. Bryan wan convinced by what waa said on other suggestions that the cabinet would not accept his viewB. and. following his speech in cabinet against the not5 of May 13. he con cluded to remain silent on the subject except to convey his views privately to the president. Mr. Bryan's Biggest Blander. Baltimore Sun: Mr. Bryan has made many and grievous blunders in his long public career; he has shown his isck of good taste on many occasions, tut he has never before reached such heights-or depths-of mischievous. Inexcusable and self-righteous dema gogy. What Brran Failed to See. Springfield Republican: Mr. Bryan's general attitude, indeed, is destructive of the established rights of neutrals in favor of the claims of belligerents to do as cthey please. The essence of neu trality is to Insist on neutral rights. If certain neutral right? are suren dered for the benefit of one side in a war, that very act becomes flagrant ? TO CAPTAIN OF U-. ? * ? You have drunk your toast to "the Day" that came; The Cross 1B won. for you did not fall. Do you thrill with Joy at your death less fame? Your hand ls trembling, your Ups are pale! Ah! you drink egaln-but the wine ls spilled, A crimson stain on the snowy whit Is it wine-or blood of the children killed? Captain! what of the night? When the black night comes and the Day is done. You sleep, and dream of the things that float, In a misty sea where a blood-red sun Lights up the dead in a drifting boat, Will you see a face In the waves that swell . A baby's face that ls cold and whitvf Will your sleep be sweet or a glimpse of Hell? Captain! what of the night? I Will you see the stare of the small blue eyes. The tiny fingers of whitest wax That will point at you, or the wound that lies. A clot of red In hrr fairy flax? Will the beads that burst on your brows be hot As mothers' tears that are newly ohed? Will each scar and burn like a blaz ing dot That eats its way through your tor tured heed? Will you see the ship as it onward sped . The thing that flew at your fatal word! Will the dripping gi oats be around your bed The screams of the dying still be .heard? When the Big Night cells-and you must obey Will your soul shrink In its awful fright?

BO BG to facilitate the eGrman subma rine operations without letting the very bottom drop out of our neutrality altogether. It now appears that Mr. Bryan was secretary of state durinf ten months of the greatest war in his tory without grasping this elementary fact. .Positive, Bot Polite. New Orleans Times-I'icayune: The president's rejoinder to Berlin, finally made public last night, ls as firm and as admirably phrased as the history making note of May 13. The position stated in that compnnion document is reaffirmed. Germany's suggestions re garding the classification and cargo or the Lusitania are met with perfectly polite but positive and final assur ances ?hat the vessel was an unarmed merchant ship and under international la wand civilized usage entitled to treatment as such. "The discussion under that head 13 closed. The Kaiser and hts counsellors arc summoned ta consider the true question at Issue and are asked for assurances that in so far as th? lives and rightB of Americana arc concerned, the laws of nations and ofhumaafty will be recognized and ob served. For Oar Own Rights. New York Tribune: We have no quarrel with Germany except so far as our own rights and Immunities are concerned1. If that attitude is main tained it will help toward a rational and satisfactory solution of our dis pute with the German government. But so far as our own rights go, they must be maintained in their complete ness and integrity, and without refer ence to anv bargaining with one bel ligerent at the behest of or in the In terest of another.

PRESS CC Submarine M. (Chicago Tribune.) The feat of the Qerman submarine 51 in voyaging from Wilhelmshaven, Germany, to Constantinople is one which will be noted by our naval au thorities and, we hope, by congress. The distance traveled is roughly estimated as 5,000 miles. It ia 4.800 miles from Yokohama to San Fran cisco, and from Liverpool to New York 3,000. approximately. This ls for the United States more than for any other nation an epoch making event. It narrows the moat behind which we have dwelt In com parative peace during our national lifetime. It increases notably the fa cilities with which w? may be attack ed, and happily, when our invention and foresight have matched tho:: . ot Germany, it will increase our re sources of effective defense. At present our submarine arm is weak. But in the light of the lessons of Germany's operation it may be hop ed that it will be progressively Im proved and strengthened through the skill of .our experts and the awakened support of congress. Now that the submarine ai* ls so long an arm we should see that ours ls as long and strong as any. Well supplied with such craft as Germany hss perfected, the transport of a hos tile expedition across three or five thoussnd miles ot sea would be a very hazardous undertaking which only ex traordinary* orovocation or temptation would justify. _[ Illinois Situation. (Ohio State Journal.) Notwithstanding the Ohio legislature has subjected itself to much criticism, it ls a paragon ot virtue compared with the Illinois legislature, which seems intent on driving democratic government out of the land by using lt for selfish purposes. The other day lt enacted a law providing that the members of the legislature should have railroad gasses. That is revert ing to a former type, which was thought to have disappeared for all time. It ls accompanied by a bill to appropriate $26.000 to pay mileage for twenty-one trips home and back -dur ing the present term, and likewise a bill to raise the legislators' salary from $2,000 per term to $3,600. All these are, as Sam Cary used to say, links of the same sausage, made out of the same dead dog. Illinois would be a good state were lt not for its legislature; and no state can be a very good state that has a very great city ODDS Al The rivtsF* of Europe are estimated to be capable of supplying 46.000. 000 horsepower, .Russia's share being 12,000.000.

(Brooklyn Eagle.) Thomas Jefferson was 59 years old. five years younger than William Jen nings Bryan is now, when he wrote his first letter tending bis resigna tion from the office of secretary of state under Washington, on July 31. 1793. the letter in which was the his toric expression which later events tended to reduce to irony: "At the close of the ensuing Septem ber. I shall beg leave tn retire to scenes of greater tranquility from those which, I am every day more and more convinced, that neither my talents, tone of mind, nor time of life flt me." Disagreement between Jefferson, on the one hand, and Washington and Hamilton, on the other, had been ac centuated from the time of Genet's ar rival In June. 1793. Washington bad got into a white heat over the "Little Sarah" incident, a French republic privateer arming in the Delaware, which Jefferson had allowed to get away. Hence it might be said that friendship for England on the presi dent's part led to the Jefferson desire to quit. But Jefferson did not actual ly go till the last day of 1793. He re tired to private Ufe. began to build up the anti-Federalist party systemati cally, and ten yecrs later was swept into the presidency by an overwhelm ing voe. There is no oher apparent parallel tor the Bryan Incident in our history Clay said he had been "abused and As sailed without example" while secre tary ot state under John Qulucy Adams, but he'stuck it out Daniel Webster held the place for two years under William H. (Harrison and John Tyler, but being a Whig aspirant for the presidency, resigned after the break between Tyler and the Whigs had developed. He went back to the same place under Fillmore and died lu office in 1852. James G. Blaine twice resigned the portfolio of state. A year with President Arthur was enough. He expected to be and waa a csndidate for the presidency, and, having beaten Arthur in convention, was himself de feated at the polls. Later. In 1889, he became Benjamin's Harrison's secre tary of state, but resigned before the next nominating convention in expec tation, as before, of being, a presiden tial nominee.
