Editorial Comment
PIaytime IL Over.

Bangor Commercially
We note that q correspondent at the
front in Flanders says that great
change has come over the British Tom
mics ana that the joking and jollity. the
carefree FUN Of the earlier days at the
'front.' has passed; that the soldiers now
realize how serious the conflict is and
how large the chance that they will not
return. Onward, Christian Soldier,
has taken the place Of ''Tipperary,'
writes this correspondent as giving evil
dence OF the mental change. Another
change noted is the steadily increasing
number OF gray-haired orricers who seem
everywhere to be replacing the younger
oificers whose inexperience is said
to have been very expensive to
the British troops in France. 1t is
very probable that many retire5
officers are being called to the colors or
are being accepted as volunteers in spite
OF the fact that they nave passed the
age limit. Experienced officers are vi
tally needed in Englands great volunteer
army.

People Will Support Wilson.

washington Post.)
Mr. Bryan's resignation as Secre-
tary of State is not a surprise. The
place has not been congenial to him.
and he has been more and more in
clined to turn from politics to the field
Of religion and temperance.
The impression conveyed by the
correspondence between the President
and Mr.. Bryan is that the note to
Germany will be strong and uncom-
promising. That is what the country
expects. The people will support the
President as against Mr.. Bryan or any
other man who proposes an Intellectual
method of enforcing American rights.
1t is to the Presidents credit that he
stood firm against what must have
been insstent pressure from Mr..
Bryan for the enfeebling Of the Ameri-
can policy.

People with Bryan for First Time.
(The ChicaSo uera,d,

(Ine CnlcaSo AefalQ.)
Probably for the first time in his
public career, William Jennings Bryan
will find the people of America prac-
tically unanimous in favor Of some
thing he has put forward--his resigna-
ton from the Cabinet No one ques-
tons Mr.. Bryan's right to abandon the
portfolio Of the State Department II he
disagrees with the foreign policy Of
the Government. Mr.. Bryan would
have been better soldier If he had
modified himself the moment his
principles were assaulted. raised the
standard OF revolt then and there. Nor
will the country forgive him the in
situation in his letter Of farewell to
the President that II war comes he,
Woodrow Wilson, will be responsible
for It. because he Is pursuing a policy
differing irreconcilably" from Mr..
Bryan's. The responsibility will be
elsewhere and very largely on the
heads Of those who by their actions
and words lead Germany to entertain
the hope that this country will not
stand officially and privately shoulder
to shoulder with the President in ex-
acting "a strict accountability for Of
lenses against our people and human
ity. Mr.. Bryan as a private citizen
Will be less menace to the peace of
the nation than he has been as Secre-
tary OF State. Therein the country
and President Wilson are to be con-
graduated.

Contributory Negligence
Lewiston Sum

tLeWlStOn SUM
Mr. Bryan's use of the legal term
"contributory negligence is not apt.
The plea of contributory negligence
may be offered when you are suing
for damages due to negligence. When
you sue for damages for negligence.
as when you get your teams into a
mixup in the street, the defendant has
the right to use the street. His right
is equal to yours. He was negligent
in the exercise of his right; then if
you show that you were exercising due
care. you are entitled to recover. If
you were guilty Of contributory neg
ligence, you cannot get damages. In
the present case, the submarine is less
like another team than like a gunman.
Or, more mildly, 1t is not negligence,
but assault that the German submar-
inc is guilty Of.

Peace and Prohibition Candidate.
(Hartford Courant)

1t is a safe guess that we are going
to have Mr.. Bryan again as a presi-
Dental candidate. His platform will
be Peace and Prohibition. II will be
split the Democratic party all apart,
for the South is strong for prohibition,
and Bryan himself. as himself, is
strong with the Democratic party
through the wide West. He is likely,
too, to draw from the Republicans on
the same issue that will strengthen
him at the South. The news Of his re-
tirement and of a practical break with
Wilson will, on the other hand, prove
highly gratifying to oldfashioned Dem
ocrats, especially through the East. 1t
makes at least a three-cornered fight
for 1916.

work out Of his hands, and so long as
Mr.. Bryan was content to have it so he
could remain at his post with no loss Of
self respect though with some loss of
dignity. Now that the policy Of the
administration has taken a course di-
rectly at variance with the principles
as an advocate Of peace at any price it
would have stultifed him in the eyes of
the whole country had he stayed.

The Nation with Wilson.

(Richmond Times Despatch.)
1t is Wilson, not Bryan, who strikes
the note today to which the hearts of
the American people respond and with
which they beat in general sympathy.
The nation Is with him. If here and
there are dissenting voices. they are
drowned in the great surging chorus
OF national approval. In the SUPPORT
that has been rendered the President
there is neither party nor section. class
nor creed. East and west. North and
South, 1t is universal and all embrac-
ing.

With few exceptions indeed the
opinion expressed upon Bryan's res

the President, while not few are

No Time for Dreams.

The retirement Of William Jennings
Bryan from the State Department re-
moves at a peculiarly critical time a
serious menace to the good name and
the welfare of the nation. The time
may come when the utilitarian diplo-
macy Of today will give way to the al
truistic ideals set forth with silver
tongued eloquence by the Nebraskan.
but the events of the past ten months
startlingly demonstrate that no such
utopian dream is possible in this gen.
Grafton. The seriousness Of the stu
alton is all that prevents Mr.. Bryans
foreign policy from being laughable.

Everybody went back for more goods and in about four days only a pile of old collars and odds and ends re mained
 Now they have fitted up new stCre close to the corner of Cush- man and Front streets and are clos ing up their we'll known old stand, down below the Nordale hotel and across the street. They are going to sell out the stock lett at the old store together with some staples taken from the warehouse and in tended for both stores It was their original intention to operate both of them, but economy won out, and only one store will be conducted
 Fred W. Carter managed their fire sale and he has taken over the management of the new one. He talks in plain language and low llSultS ana SetS lO llle pOlnl, ana when he advertises. as he is today, that it's real sale, it will be real one.

Government Gets
 Bank Building

At 1l:30 a. m. Thursday the Wash. ington-Alaska bank building passed ownership to the government, a check for S15,000 being deposited to the credit of the receiver, and a deed to the property, which has been in escrow for some time, be ing given by the receiver to the government.
 The deed was filed for record shortly before noon by Assistant District Attorney Harry F. Pratt On it's face is showed the signature of r. G. Moves. receiver of the Washington-Alaska bank, and was witnessed by Roy Maddocks and Florence s. Patton.
 The bank transaction was con. cluded after Judge Bunnell had al lowed motion of the land office to the effect that the government institution be declared preferred creditor o1 the defunct bank. The order of the judge means that the receiver is authorized to pay the land office the money which was due the government at the time the bank closed it's doors
 The new purchase stands next to the courthouse and the government therefore now has block of ground in the heart of the business section of Fairbanks. No plans as to it's occupancy by federal officials have yet been announced, as it is estimated thaat $1,00O will be need ed to put it in good shape and the amount has not yet been allowed by the department.
