LANSING SUCCEEDS As stcatIiSY
bryan Intends 10 Continue His
Political Support Of the
President

Washington, June 8 William
jennings Bryan, three times dem
ocratic candidate for the presi-
dency of the United States aud
author OF nearly 30 peace treaties
with the principal nations of the
world, resigned today as Secre-
tary of State as a dramatic sequel
to his disagreement with Presi-
dent Wilson over the govern
ment's policy toward Germany.
The resignation was accepted
by the President. The cabinet
then approved the response
which had been prepared to the
German reply to the Lusitania
note. Acting Secretary Robert
Lansing will sign the document
and to morrow it will be cabled
to Berlin.
Secretary Bryan will return to
private life tomorrow, when his
resignation takes effect. It was
learned that he intends to con-
tinue his political support of the
President.
Rather than sign the document
which he believed might nossihlv
draw the United States into war.
Mr.. Bryan submitted his resig-
nation in letter declaring that
the issue involved is OF such
moment that to remain a member
of the cabinet would be as unfair
to you as it would be to the cause
which is nearest my heart, name
ly, the prevention of war;"
The President accepted the
resignation in letter of regret,
tinged with deep personal feeling
Of affection. The letters consi.
tuting to official announcement
Of Mr.. Bryan's departure from
the cabinet to private life were
made public at the White House
at 6 O'Clock tonight.

Most Americans will thoroughly up
hold the administration in its protest
against the use of
The Flag Protest. the American flag
by British merch-
ant vessels. Had this country let the
Lusi.ania incident 60 without a
protest we would then be in no po-
sition to complain effectively If a Ger
man submarine should by mistake
sink bona fide American steamer.
II is said international law affords no
justification for such misuse Of our
flag though it is generally recognized
that a warship may make use Of an
other flag to deceive an enemy. the
only requirement being that the war
ships true colors lie shown before she
starts an engagement. Under the Eng
lish law Of 1894 Great Britain allows
ships OF other nations the right to
use the English flag in order to escape
capture. II they SO desire. However
England is far from being the whole
world and 1t does not necessarily fol-
low that because she is willing to
countenance this practice other coun-
tries must do the same. The sub
stance Of the whole thing is that by
the course taken the British are try
ing to save their own shipping by
endangering American ships. 1t is
not action to promote great friendli-
ness on the part of Uncle Sam.

that will do the railroads no perma-

It is inexcusable to allow the rail-
roads to give cheap rates to coast
cities in order to meet water compe-

cheaper through the canal than by

natural order. When the railroads
are allowed to make unnaturally low

simply means they will tax interior

Jones was one Of those men who
grumbled at everything and every
body. He was once attacked by in
flammatory rheumatism and was
carefully nursed by his wife. who was
very devoted to him, in spite OF his
fault-finding disposition. His suffer-
ing caused her to burst into tears
sometimes as she sat by his bedside.
One day a friend came in and ask
ed him how he was getting on.
Badly. badly!" he exclaimed; "and
it's all my wife's fault"
'Is 1t possible7" asked the friend,
in surprise.
Yes. The doctor told me that
humidity was bad for me. and there
that woman sits and cries, just to
