rotary of state should not be per-
mitted to serve as reason for
clouding the issue.
The resignation may have bear
ing on United States politics, but it
is. unimportant, internationally.
Bryan was appointed secretary of
state by Wilson largely for the pur-
pose of cementing friendly relations
between this country and South
America. The administration be-
ieved that the feeling between this
country and South America, once
friendly enough, had grown almost
to the point of antagonism, on the
part of the southern republics, and
it was considered big job to repair
the break. In cementing the rela-
tons between North and South
America Bryan found work greatly
to his liking and Wilson found a man
capable of carrying out what he con-
sidered a very important part of his
policy.
Then the European war started.
AS secretary of state Bryan had to
appear officially as the person trans
acting the business with Europe. AS
a matter of fact, not only the poll
cies involved but the actual work was
Wilson's. This was well known.
Bryan finally objected to being
officially responsible for utterances
and methods in which he did not be-
ieve, personally. He resigned.
There will be great differences Of
opinion as to whether or not Bryan
should have done this. Such discus
sion, at this time, means little.
The important phase of the ques-
ton is that the effect of Bryan's re-
signation on the presidents policies
is not important and should not be
made important. Wilson has de-
monstrated that he is Wilson. He |

has been valued associate of Will
sons, but Wilson has insisted that
Wilson's policy and Wilson's method
must prevail whenever a final deci-
sion is to be made.
That Bryan did what his conscience
told him to do no one who knows him
wild doubt.
But the importance of his resigna-
ton should not be oVerestimated.
Nothing worse could happen to
this country at this critical time than
that Bryan's action should create a
division among the people in their at
titude toward the president.
The note to Germany has been
sent. The moment it was sent it
ceased to be Woodrow Wilson's note;
it became THE VOICE OF THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Bryan would have Worded that
note differently. There are many
other Americans who would have
Worded it differently. But Wilson's
was the responsibility. He could not
evade it and no one could share it
with him. The necessary public
policy is continued support of Wilson,
without consideration of the Bryan
resignation.
President Wilson is no more en-
thusiastic about war than Bryan or
any other pacifst. The government
of this country does not want war;
the people as a whole do not want
war; sentiment for war that flared up
for some days has rapidly been
dwindling, of late. We may be sure
that Wilson will do everything pos
sible to keep this country out of the
European war, except to compromise
its honor, and it is our guess that as

These beetles also do damage by en-

as preventive measure against the
pests the creating Of an unfavorable

lar burning Of all dead trees each year
and that all dead and sickly limbs,

Whitewashing and similar treatment

WORTH OF WOOD ASHES.

Farmers Are Advised Not to Waste
Valuable Constituents:
Don't waste wood ashes. Apply
them. as produced. to acid soils. This
Is the advice Of A. r. Whitson. head Of
the Wisconsin state soils laboratory. It
Is Of particular value to farmers in up.
per Wisconsin and others who actually
have waste wood to burn.
Wood ashes contain a large proper
ton Of lime, which makes them of
value In correcting acid soils. Often
times land intended for clover or al
falfa can be better prepared for the
crop by a top dressing of fresh wood
ashes. either hard or soft wood being
equally satisfactory. Such treatment
will be of especial value on marshy
and sandy soils.
II not allowed to leach out. wood
ashes are also rich in potash and 80
form a home source for much needed
element. Practically all of our potash
supply has been imported into this
country from certain of the countries
OF Europe now at war, which fact has
caused considerable concern with many
here who purchase in large quantities.
Whether or not it will pay to use
ashes for agricultural purposes de-
ponds upon the distance they have to
be hauled. When buying ashes the
purchaser should satisfy himself that
the material is neither adulterated. nor
full Of coal residue.

Gas, one Of the Oldest OF modern
street lighting systems, although hard
pressed by the advance Of electricity,
has reached point beyond which it

principally due to the fact that great
Inventions have been made, producing

Owing to the great size Of the hold

acceptable in an architectural sense,
and they should therefore be located in
the outskirts Of the city or in factory

Ing value, where few years ago the
demand was principally for illuminat.
ing power. This change has been
brought about by the increased use of
gas for cooking and in the arts. Coal
gas should have heating value OF
not less than $50 British thermal units
per cubic foot, while water gas is usu.
ally higher. In many towns q com.
bination of coal gas and water gas is
used. For instance, in New York,
where this plan is adopted. recent tests
made showed an average Of 1862 Brit.
1sh thermal units and an average illu.
minating power of 2SS candlepower.
Water gas is produced by the de-
composition of steam in contact with
incandescent carbon. The process con-
sists in alternate elbows" with air to
heat the fuel and runs" with steam,
which is decomposed by the incandes-
cent fuel. continuing to form water
gas until the temperature becomes too
low, necessitating another period of
heating.
In the carbureted water gas process
the fuel in the generator is burned by
the air blast only to sufficient degree
of heat to form principally carbon
monoxide. Another process much in
vogue In Europe produces about twice
as much water gas for the same
amount of fuel. In this process the
volume Of air during the blows is SO
proportional to the bed Of fuel and
the apparatus is SO designed that in
stead of carbon monoxide carbon diox-
ide Is formed. developing three times
the heat from the fuel that is devel-
oped when it is burned only to carbon
monoxide. In this process coke IS
therefore converted into water gas
with maximum of economy, trans
ferring to the gas about 20 per cent
Of the heating value of the fuel.
It is the practice abroad to use seam.

and told him to write the name on the

This SO amused Lord Egremont and
