MK. BRYAN'S STATEMENT.
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.

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
