An Irreconcilable Difference.
(New York Times1

MT. Bryan has done well in resign ing. It is perhaps the wisest act of political career. Differing irrecon- cilably with the president in respect to the form and the substance of the reply to Germany's note, MT. Bryan finds himself also in irreconcila ble difference with tae vast majority of his countrymen. It was out of the question that he should continue to De secretary of state. But the differ ence over the note to Germany after all, Is hardly more than the occasion of his retirement. The act has many causes, and the state of mind which produced his resignation was one that may be called cumulative. For many months MT. Bryan has had to feel that he was an unconsidered person age in the administration. The forms of friendly relation and of counsel were maintained. Power and influ- ence he no longer possessed Un- doubedly, too, he has felt that he was sorely diminished in the public re- gard. Improprieties in his personal conduct, such as his Chautauqua es- capades so incompatible with the dignitg of his great office, have been an occasion sometimes of severe criticisrn,a oftener of ridicule even harder to bear. A growing irrita- bility of manner has made it evident that lie was aware of his loss of standing. His inability to assent to the presidents determination as to the form of the note to Germany put him in an untenable position, from which there was no refuge save by resigning. The country will respect him alike for the sincerity Of his de- votion to the interests of peace and for the firmness which fortified him to make the great sacrifice. But the country will nevertheless be well content that some other than MT. Bryan should in these times be sec retary of state. The place and the time demand, not Bryan, but statesman of the ability and the sta \ sture of Elihu Root.

Bryan 8 Misfit.
(New York Press. )

In forcing MT. Bryan out of the administration as secretary of state and by the correspondence in the case ii is patently nothing less than mat ter of compulsion--the president will have the approval of the American people. They will unqualifiedly in- dorse Mr. Wilson's action because, in any event, the Nebraskan was a sorry misfit in our government In the humiliating progression from Mex ican fiasco to a European crisis he grew more mortifyingly so. And in the end he grew more dangerously so for as long as our foreign relations were influenced by him this country was sure to be an object of mockery in Berlin.
 When we have reached the stage where the German issue must be met fairly and square1y MT. Bryan's au- thority in the state department could only excite the Berlin foreign office to fresh defiance or our position and annihilate the waning confidence of our people in the purpose of this gov ernment to maintain 1t.
 The American people are done with all that. They will have no more trifing with this situation, at home or abroad. MT. Wilson, though he may be in error in his views as to subma rines, has been clear-headed enough to realize that fact. His ap- preciation of it's import has been keen enough to show him that the first step toward satisfying national sentiment must be the abandonment of the Bryan. policy and the riddance of the Bryan presence

EDITORIAL, SEARCHLIGHTS
 PLAY UPON BRYAN CASE
Again a Candidate. (Hartford Courant.)

The sresignation of Secretary Bryan Is more sudden than unexpected. The Courant" is only one of many observers of events that have predict ed that it was coming before this ad- ministration was ended. He has fre- quently proclaimed himself a friend of Peace and bases his retirement on disapproval of the strength of the presidents letter, which, by the way, foreshadows to the country the tenor of the note itself. The nation will as fully approve of a strong and digni- fled demand for decent international relations as it would disapprove of actual war. Our recourse, of course, is to cease diplomatic relations with those who decline to observe what the civilized nations are agreed upon.
 It is a safe guess that we are going to have MT. Bryan again as a presi- dential candidate. His platform will be Peace and Prohibition. It will split the democratic party all apart, 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.

Struggle in Progress.
(New York Herald.)

The very fact of MT. Bryans resig- nation as secretary of state tells the whole story of the momentous news. Every man, woman and child in the country can understand. President Wilson intends to pursue his course, made obligatory by the note of May 13 Be the consequences what they may, this country will insist upon the de- mands made upon Germany regard ing its submarine warfare.
 A terrific struggle has been in prog ress in Washington. How the presi- dent has been tried in the last few days probably never will be Known, but he pursued his course with the consciousness that the entire Amer ican people was behind him.
 It is we'll to give MT. Bryan the credit for his convictions. But his convictions are all wrong. His retire. ment should be heartily welcomed by the country When war became in- evitable between Great Britain and Germany last August several mem- bers of the British cabinet resigned. Viscount Morley retired and with him John Burns. Viscount Haldane, who more than any other man had contrib uted to lulling the British nation to sleep regarding war, remained. Well would it have been for the British government if he had resigned, as MT. Bryan has done, at the outset. Presi- dent Wilson is fortunate in getting rid of his Haldane before the decks are even cleared for action, but he did not get rid of him quickly enough.

Was Great Pacificst. Bridgeport Telegram. )

The resignation of William Jen- n1ngs Bryan from the post of sec- retary Of state marks a crisis in the governmental affairs of the United States It stands ais final definite protest of a great pacif1st against a policy which seems to be tending al- most inevitably toward warlike rela- tions with Germany.
 While the resignation comes as a great surprise in one sense, it seems inevitable on consideration. The one great ideal which has been Mir. Bryan's guide in all the affairs of his office has been the ideal of inter- national peace. He has striven to the limit of his ability to promote in- :ternational peace. He has promul- gated treaties between the United States and upwards of twenty other nations, to safeguard the peace by allowing whole year for the friendly settlement of any disputes that might arise. Under the circumstances. our attitude toward Germany in the pres ent controversy must not only be painful to MT. Bryan, but absolutely inconsistent with what he has out lined through the office of secretary of state as the policy of our nation
 
 for a complete reversal of his own ideas and ideals would be unbear- able for any man. MT. Bryan's res- ignation is his solution of the di- lemma.
 He is careful, in his letter of resig- nation to give credit to President Wilson for having only the most sim cere wish of preserving peace be- tween this nation and Germany. He is equally careful to point out that his idea of the proper method of pre- serving peace differs sharply from the presidents method. Under such cir cumstances he has felt that in justice to both, his resignation should be forthcoming.
 Disregarding the jubilant clamor of those critics who have been so gross ly hostile and unfair to MT. Bryan, the nation will pass judgment on his actions. We mistake greatly if the nations verdict will not be a most favorable one. There is no demand in this country for war with Ger many; there Is a strong and persis- tent demand for peace. Of all our statesment MT. Bryan has been the most ardent and persistent worker for the ideal of international peace and and his final action in resigning the portfolio of secretary of state is the eliminating proof of his absolute devotion to that ideal.

Chatauqua Tents Tapping. (NeM York S1In

In almost any other circumstances the country would have rejoiced to hear that MT. Bryan had given up a place for which his fantastic unfit ness has long been but too apparent. He has chosen to make his leaving as unpleasant as his staying. He deserts the president at, moment of grave international complication. He deliberately does all that lies in his power to create prejudice against the note to be sent to Germany to- day, a note whose contents are still unknown to the public. His remark able tender sense of duty makes him forget that he owes duty to the United States
 Instead, and here is the injury that he can do, by creating a semblance of divided counsels in the cabinet, where he stands alone. he gives aid and comfort to the opponents in Ger many and here of the firm assertion of the rights of Americans upon the seas. Germany, not knowing him as his countrymen do, may be encour- aged in the illusion that a majority of Americans will not hold up the bands of Woodrow Wilson to every, issue. ., ft,
 Germany could make no greater error. .@A
 What political designs are behind MT, Bryan's conduct or want of con duct may be guesses. He may become the head of the passionate aliens among the German Americans" whose country is across the water To him may flock the labor" lords, tte radicals of many names, the preachers, honest or dishonest mostly the latter, against the safe of muni- tions of war to the belligerents. The tents of Chautauqua are already Tapping in the wind. A career of itinerant rhetoric and Cave of Adullam politics invites him.
 Though MT. Rryan's resignation strengthens the cabinet, 1t will be long before Americans forgive the man who sulked and ran away when honor and patriotism should have kept him at his post.

President Wilson Praised.
(New York Tribune.)

In forcing an issue with MT. Bryan and compelling the latter to offer his resignation as secretary of state, Pres ident Wilson has performed a high public service. He has sacrificed personal comfort to patriotic duty.
 It would have been far more con- venient from a party point in view to have kept the cabinet intact re- taining MT. Bryan in office by flat tering his self-esteem and compro- missing with him on some details of the second note to Germany. The same political considerations which induced MT. Wilson to make MT. Bryan his secretary of state still hold good, though to a less menacing ex- tent. Out of office MT. Bryan may be expected to oppose MT. Wilson as energetically as he has supported him while a member of his political fam fly. & F
 But such utilitarian compromise necessarily clashed with the presi- dents higher obligations to himself and to the country. It was obvious that national interests would have to be consulted first, and national in terests could not be served by the re- tention at the head of the state de- partment of man who put personal theories above national policy and was prepared to use his influence to make futile the assertion by the United States of its purpose to main- tain at all hazards the rights of Americans lawfully travelling on the high seass.
 To MT. Bryan's credit it must be said this his devotion to his personal ideas overcame his eagerness to re- main in public office. If he meant to live up to his professions a rupture between him and the president over the Lusitania correspondence was in evitable.

Stood by His Convictions.
tSpringfield Republican. }

6 & E ' @ (
 l. .The country has an unprecedented sensation this morning in the depar- ture of William J. Bryan, secretary of state, from the cabinet of Presi- dent Wilson. Those who know MT. Bryan best will be at no loss to un- derstand his position. He is a pro- found believer in the doctrines of con- ciliation. that are embodied in his .chaln of peace treaties-that interna- tional differences should be submitted to1arbitration, and that delay in ac- tioh is a healer aof differences. The events in the great and unhappy war drama have seemed to sidetEack for the time Mr. Bryan's doctrines, but they have not become unimportant in the large perspective. He will be longest remembered because of broad foundation which he has helped to lay, and to which the world will grow. He has stood by his convictions at the expense of his place in President Wilson's cabinet, s and the thinking
 people of the United States will re- spect him for 1t. He has been con- sistent with himself.

Resignation 8 Sorry Service"
 (New York Worldly

MT. Bryan's resignation at this time and in these circumstances is q sorry service to his country.
 Tn his letter to the president the secretary of state declares that ito remain a member of the cabinet would be as unfair to you as it would be to the cause which Is nearest my heart-namely, the prevention of war" We cannot believe that the cause is nearer to William J. Bryan's heart than it is to Woodrow Wilson's heart; but even if it were, MT. Bryan has done the one thing m his power most likely to bring about war be- tween the United States and Germany. : Americans understand MT. Bryan's passionate and often uuIxotic devo- tion to his ideals: but this is not how his resignation will impress the Ger man government. Germany does not know him as America knows him.
 It knows him only as secretary of state, an office corresponding to that held by Herr won Jagow in Berlin and Sir Edward Grey in London 1t knows him only as a foreign secretary who has been the leader of his party .or nearly twenty years, and who has three times been it's candidate for president
 It will see in his resignation di- Vided government, and it's equivalent, Il divided people, which is the one thing for which German diplomacy has been striving in the United States since the beginning of the war.
 That Is not what Mr. Bryan,s resig- nation means to the American people; arut the serious thing to be considered at this time is what it means to Berlin, which is about to receive the presidents final word on the issues raised by the German policy of sub marine warfare.
