that constitutes 1t a domestic IL not
an international crisis. 1t is indeed
fortunate that MIR. Bryan has not been
taken more seriously as Secretary of
state.
Mr. Bryan has resigned because he
doubtless fears war and has said that
no war Will occur while he is Secretary
of State. The American people do not
believe there will be war. They, how
ever. would not have the President re-
TIRE from his stand that the United
States has the ends of humanity to sub
serve and the ends of the international
law to defend. The time for blufing
has passed and the time for quibbling
has passed. Germany has been doing
both. in the estimation of Americans.
The United States has done and will do
neither.

Mr.. Bryan at this time, 1t may be said
that the country will feel n sense of
relief TO have the affairs of his port :

There is more of sensation than sur
prise in the announcement of the resig-
nation of william Jennings Bryan Of
the portfolio Of Secretary OF State. The
American people have been kept in
such close touch with the relations
existing between the President and his
Premier and are so familiar with the
conditions which made impossible any
prolonged continuation in Office OF Mr..
Bryan. that they were. in measure.

To close observers of administration

concededly a strong character-could

We do not believe the retirement

1T may have weakening effect on

It will be unfortunate.

In his home State of Nebraska.

weighted with deepest import BY the

The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

The retirement of William Jennings
BRYAN from the State Department re-
moves at peculiarly critical time a
serious menace to the good name and
the welfare OF the nation. The time
NAV come when the utilitarian diplo-
macy Of to-day will give way TO the al
truistic ideals set forth with silver
tonrued eloouence by the Nebra skan.
but the events OF the past ten months
startlingly demonstrate that no such
utopian dream Is possible in this gem
Grafton. The seriousness Of the situa :
ton is all that prevents Mr.. Bryan's
foreign policy from being laughable.
If he had possessed the vision OF A
real statesman. or even the foresight
OF cunning politician. the United
States would have taken the lead in a
coalition of great neutral powers which
would have said at the beginning OF the
war to each belligerent: Thus far
mayest thou CO." Then there would
have been no Lusitania incident. There
could have been no discussion OF
whether or not the solemnly adopted
rules of The Hague Convention were to
be carried out. No nation would have
dared to ignore them.
We trust that the retirement OF Mr..
Bryan means the inauguration OF a
foreign policy which will have ten
dency to make Americans feel proud.
instead of ashamed of their country.
We trust 1t means that no other Next
can adventurer will. be permitted to
1out the flag, call a State Department
bluff and get away with 1t. We have
had enough of the Babes in the Woods"
brand OF diplomacy. Give us little
of the old fashioned shirtsleeve kind,
which will protect an American any
where in the civilized world he has n
legal right to be. Anything less would
be pusillanimous.

THE VALUE OF APPRECIATION,

Has it ever struck you what a
sweetener Of life lies in a few words
Of appreciation and encouragement
How few of us take the trouble TO stop
a few minutes and praise a servant for
work we'll done, or even pause to tell
our nearest and dearest, how we APP
preciate all the daily services which
we have apparently never noticed.
When our friends die we hasten to
send beautiful flowers as last appre-
citation of our love for them. But
would it not be better if we had help
ed them by a little praise when they
were working, or if we had cheered
them in the dark days when they were
troubled and suffering?
Only a few words of appreciation
The cost is nothing, but the recon-
pense is beyond price. Let the hus-
rand tell his wife how much he prizes
her love for him, and the wife tell
her husband how truly she recognizes
all his care for her, and the mother
should reveal in words how much she
values her children's affection, while
the child who says to its mother,
Thank you for all your love to me"
has rewarded her far beyond knowl-
edge Of understanding.

HAS FAITH IN QUICK
REMEDY FOR CATARRH
Chas. Rhodes Guarantees That
Hyomei Will Relieve The Worst
Cases of Catarrh in Alma.

Win one of the most reputable
concerns in Alma guarantees that a
medicine will produce benefit or he
will refund the money, it speaks vol
umes for the merits of that remedy.
Ii is in this way that Chas Rhodes is
selling Hyomei, the treatment that has
helped SO many cases of both acute
and chronic catarrh in Alma and
vicinity.
Hyomei is not a pill nor is il a
spray or a lotion that must be rubbed
in. 1t is an oil, the air of which you
just breathe in your nose, throat and
lungs by the aid of an inhaler that
comes with every outfit. Benefit will
usually be seen from the very first
reatment.
This air destroys al germ life in the
air passages and lungs and enriches
and purifies the blood with the addi-
tional ozone it supplies. II banishes
catarrh of the head and throat and
respiratory organs. Whenever these
mucous membranes contain catarrhal
germs, there Hyomei will do its work
Of healing.
The complete Hyomei outfit is in
xpnsive and includes an inhaler, drop
per and sufficient Hyomei for several
weeks treatment
Remember that if Hyomei does not
relieve you Chas. Rhodes will refund
your money.-Adv.
