The course of William J. Bryan in
retiring from President Wilson's Cabf-
net because he did not wish to cmbar-
rass the Chief Executive in carrying
out his foreign policy, was a com
mendable act. This withdrawal, how
ever, will not have an appreciable
affect on the Democratic party.
This is the substance of the views
of Congressman B. P. Harrison, CON
tanned in an interview given today in
response to a tolegraphic request from
The News on yesterday.
What do you think the outcome OF
the Bryan resignation will be, as re
lating to the future of the Democratic
party, and the present European situa-
tion as concerns the United States p"
was the telegram sent Mr.. Harrison
at Gulfport yesterday.
What Harrison Thinks.
IhlS Is his answer:
"It is unfortunate that Mr. Bryan
has resigned as secretary OF state at
this time, but if his ideas with re-
spcct to our present foreign relations
do not coincide with those of the Pres
ident and the other members of the
cabinet, and he feels that his remain
ing in the cabinet would be embar-
RAISING to the President i'll carrying
out his foreign policies, then his re
signing was, in my opinion, a most
manly and cOmmendable act.
Il do not believe that Mr.. Bryans
withdrawal from tle cabinet will APP
preciablc affect the Democratic party.
The country is behind the President
and | believe that it will approve the
note that is being dispatched to Ger
many
Mr.. Bryan says in his letter to the
President, 1 consider il to be none the
.ess my duty to endeayor as a private
citizen to promote the end which you
have in view by means which you do
not feel at liberty to USE and, after
all, his withdrawal from the cabinet
and his intentions, as announced
above, may be most helptul IN COM
posing the present delicate situation.

PROTECTION IN The
storage BATTERY

Every little point in tho construc-
tion OF storage battery counts for
something and good construction is
very important in insuring long life.
Most Of these things. however. can
be properly handled by almost any
manufacturer provided he Is willing
TO pay tho price. or has sufficient
volume OF business and factory equip
ment to make it possible for him to
produce real quality on paying
basis.
There is one thing however. which
can't possibly be put into n storage
battery without brains and experience
of the highest order and that is the
capacity which depends on the quality
of the plates.
The willard Storage Battery Com
pany not only uses extreme care in
the specification of oxides for their
plates. but tests them. both chemical
ly and by microscopic examination.
Thus they arc able 10 secure oxides
in which the granular formation is
rough and irregular rather than
smooth. causing the individual grains
TO hold together much more closely
and make a longer-lived plate
This is a small detail which shows
how far this large battery manufac
turer goes in protecting his Gus
toners interests.
