A Sensible Criticism.
Lewiston SUM

It was pretty of the Governors as
sembled in Boston to express unani-
nous confidence in the President. But
they go too far when they assure him
Of their readiness to follow his lead
ership in all matters which he may
deem best, etc.
A Governor is a chief executive. as
really as a President. He is bound to
use his judgement as to what his OF
fetal responsibility requires. as really
as the President is bound to use his
judgment as to his responsibilities.
And no citizen Is warranted In sur
rendering his own judgment on public
affairs. Unanimity of public opinion
indicates an unfortunate situation, an
extreme CRISIS. 1t is an unhealthy con-
dition when difference of opinion and
criticism Of those in authority Is CON-
sidered intolerable.

This is. a poor time for Mr. Bryan
to volunteer advice on the subject of
our relations with Germany. The re-
sponsibility for the crisis that has
been reached rests in a very large
part upon him.
When he informed the Austrian
Ambassador that the Presidents LUST
tania note was not to be interpreted
literally and that it was sent to pla-
cate public opinion in the United
States. he opened the way for every
thing that has followed.
This false and foolish statement was
Immediately communicated to Berlin,
and it has Influenced the action of the
German Government ever since. The
Presidents solemn warning was not
taken seriously because Mr.. Bryan as
Secretary of State let it be known
that 1t was not to be taken seriously
Then he resigned from the Cabinet as
a protest against a second warning,
and Berlin has deluded itself in the
belief that he rather than President
Wilson 10 the true spokesman Of the
American people.
