Fully cognizant of Mr. Hryan's great wortb and doubting not for an iDHtant that he ls moved hy high motives and the dictates of a sp'-i Idly adjusted conscience, we must .-onfess that we fall to see very much In his statement In which ho sets forth his reasons for resigning t!ie secretaryship of the I'nitcd States rather than affix his of ficial signature to the note tu Ger many. Wc use the term "very much" in the sense that we see in his statement little grounds for his resigning. What Mr. ftryan says about war and peace Is all very true, hut. as is often the case with what he says, lt is alright In theory; but putting it into prac tice, and the thing proving practicable, ls something elso. Mr. Bryan is ahead of his age. We have thought that before this. That the world is no? ready for nor capa ble of settling the disputes between nations by the "persuasive" method, is clearly indicated by the spectacle presented in the fact that after near ly 2.000 years of Christian teaching a majority of thc Christian nations are at war today and employing more hellish methods and committing more devilish deprctions than the ancients of civilization's dawn ever dreamed of. We are still nf thc opinion that il would have been more becoming ol the former secretary of stato had ho reasoned, "Thoso are your ideas and your wishes, Mr. President. You are the servant of these hundred mil lion' people, and I am your Bervant. And while my ideas are at variance with yours, I am here to uphold your bands In this crisis; and I shall do it." It appears to us Mr. Bryan should have been proud to affix bis signa ture to a message as lofty in spirit and UH commanding in Its appeal h behalf of humanity an the note to Ger many. NOTE TO GERMANY The Intelligencer put forth extra efforts to present to ita readers this morning the full and complete tex: of the rejoinder to the Imperial Ger man government's reply to the noto following the sinking of the Lusitania. Popular Interest In the note has been greatly heightened by the resignation from the cabinet of former Secretary of State Bryan, who, rather than place bis slgnsture to the document, returned to the president his com mission . The readers of this psper, we be lieve, will be duly appreciative of the efforts The Intelligencer has made to afford them the privilege of having before them at their breakfast tables this rooming the full text of this mas terful message of the president or the United States to the German govern ment on the grave question that hao been raised between the nativas. The Intelligencer at the same time put forth extra efforts to place before its readers a statement from Mr. Bry an, in which he seta forth his reasons for resigning the high office to which he was appointed by Presi dent Wile-m. DENATURING DISTILLERIES. - While the war has reduced the world's consumption of alcohol as a beverage, it baa bad no such effect on industrial alcohol. War orders from Europe Include enormous quan tities of denatured alcohol, st prices 20 to 30 per'cent higher than those of last year. The output of the Unit ed States Industrial Alcohol company bas already been sold way toto next year. The tendency of the times is seen In the. action of the . Distillerr.' Securities Corporation, which bsa turned se*'ral of Ita biggest whiskey p anta into denatured alcohol distill eries. * ? ..?av.? Can lt be that this change In the European demand 1B prophetic ot a similar change In America? Are,.we, too, going to Use alcohol for fuel and motive power Instead of human con sumption? Are our whiskey distill eries all def tined to chango into dena tured- alcohol factor lea. aa the pro hibition wave rolls on and the public simultaneously wakes up to the com. merdai possibilities of alcohol? The action of tho Distillers' Secur ities Corporation seems, to hint at the best solution offered yet for de-alco hollaing the nation without ruinous Injustice to the distillery Interests. Plenty of Ttee. There waa a London constable to whom ah infuriated musician applied with the request .teat he would "do something with that boy." "I.was coming along the road in a hurry," said the musician, "when ?te boy stopped me sad asked the time. I said lt is 10 to 8," Very well, re plied the boy. at a o'clock yet your haircut." 5 "Well." replied the constable lang uidly looking-at his watch, "you are all right-you've got a good eight anln Q*?" .- .kurv.? MR. BRYAN'S RESIGNATION OplaloB ol weat I* probably Ul? greatest Dessoerstlc aewspaper 1B the felted State? ?ad lb? one that lu ?Md to ?ave elected Woodrow WU ?on president. (New York World.) Mr. Bryana resignation at this time and In these circumstances ls a sorry service to bis country. In his letter to the 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 ls nearest my heart-namely, the prevention of war." We cannot believe that this cause Is nearer to Wllllsm J. Brysn's heart th?n it ls to Woodrow Wilson's hesrt; but even If it were. Mr. Bryan has done the one thing In his power most likely to bring about wsr between the United States and Germany. Americans understand Mr. Bryan's passionate and often quixotic devotion to his ideals; but this ls not how his resignation will Impress the German government. Germany docs not know him as America knows him. It knows him only as secretsry of state, an office corresponding to that held by Herr von Jagow in Berlin and Slr Edward Grey lu landon. It knows him only as a foreign secretary who has been the lesder of his psrty for nearly twenty years, and who has three times been its candidate for president. lt will see In his resignstion a divided government, snd its ?quivalent, ?a divided people, which ls the one thing for which German diplomacy has been striving in the United States since the beg. ming of the war. That ls not what Mr. Bryan's resignation means to the American people; hut the serious thing to be considered at this time ls what lt means to Berlin, which is about to receive the president's Ansi word on the issues raised by the German policy of submarine warfare. We are not questioning Mr. Brysn's sincerity in this matter. We are ] not denying the honesty of his conviclons and thc integrity of his purpose. For these we have only the highest respect, and we have only the highest regard for the moral courage which he displays In resigning the most respon j bible office in the cabinet rather than he party to a policy that la in conict ! .?til his conscience. What we are impeaching is Mr. Bryan's Judgment. Not I strong at best, that judgment never worked to more deplorable purpose than ; lien he broke with President Wilson on an issue which, in its present 1 jsspectB, is still academic. The note to Germany has not been made public; so we dc not know the provisions that so affronted Mr. Bryan's principles that he could no ! longer remsln In the cabinet. But this we know: At the cabinet meeting which discussed the original draft of the Lusitania note of May 13 every I eventuality waa carefully considered. The unsatisfactory nature of the Ger man reply was foreseen. The American answer wes foreseen. The possible suspension of diplomatic relations was formen. After the discussion p?? ended. Mr. Bryan accepted thc judgment ot the president as his judgment I snd the verdict of the cabinet as his verdict. If he could not conscientiously support the! Administration's policy respect to German submarine warfare, the time to have discovered it was then. The time to have resigned was then. To wait until he had signed hlB name to the first note, to wait until Germany's reply had been received, to walt until the president's Inevitable answer had been formulated, and then resign-that ls to subject bis government and his country to an embarrassment for which there is neither excuse nor extenuation, however j noble Mr. Bryan's Ideals may be sud however sensitive his conscience may be j In respect to these ideals. Mr. Bryan's resignation, however unfortunate, cannot change the attitude of the country toward the president Bather lt will solidify public sentiment still more strongly behind Mr. Wilson, realizing as every citizen n^i realize that the president in this crisis has greater need than ever of emphatic sup port. Mr. Wilson bas put his band to the plough and he cannot turn back until he reaches the end of the furrow. In spite of Mr. Bryan's scruples ?there ls not public desire thst he should turn back. On the contrary, lt is the president's grave and solemn duty to continue to the end, having faith that right makes might, and daring to do his duty as he understands lt Evea..
