The most forceful and logical opin.
ion which we have read of Bryans
retirement and it's significance Is
contained in the current issue of The
Worlds Work. That magazine gives
to Mr. Bryan every honor to which
he is entitled and then shows clearly
the failings of the great Commoner
which rendered him absolutely unfit
for the position of secretary of state
in the cabinet of President Wilson.
We quote as follows:
Mr. Bryan came to theSecretary-
ship Of State with a great political
following based upon his courage
and his abilities to voice a protest
against the special privileges which
had existed in the Government. He
had been able to hold 4 large part of
his following despite the fact that
again and again the country had re-
pudiated the ill-considered remedies
he championed for the cure of the
ills of the body polite. Not only
had he held large part of his old
following but he gained at least
something of respect from the enc
mics when he faced down Tammany
at Baltimore and helped to nominate
another man for the position he had
so long coveted when the chance of
election seemed brighter than ever
before. This somewhat tempered the
criticism which bis appointment to
the Cabinet aroused. 1t was temp
cred also by the general realizati
that II was one or those appoint
ments which necessarily occur in the
cabinets of democracies in order to
secure a working majority. For the
first time in his life Mr. Bryan was
clothed with the responsibilities OF
administration. But he was not
fitted for the task either by temper
ament or experience. He was not
able to master either the formalities
or the actualities of the position. His
improprieties brought upon his head
anu his
forced the President to take nearly
all important matters out OF his
hands. Yet he stood abuse, the rid
icule, and the curtailment OF his
duties with good humor and fine 10y
atty. Even when he handed in his
resignation his note expressed a sim
cere admiration and friendship for
the man who had succeeded in the
place he had hoped to fill and whose
success excluded his own.
There can be no question OF the
courage OF the man who forced
Woodrow Wilson's nomination and
defeated Tammany at Baltimore, nor
OF his vitality, energy, and political
ability. No one can honestly doubt
his good intentions. and he has the
faith of an evangelist. He feels and

Bryan's Retirement And Its Significance

talks for great causes and for the
common man. But he cannot think
clearly for the causes he would fur
Their and he cannot organize or act
for them successfully This very de-
votion to the causes he believes in
leads him to do things which other
men would not consider "a square
deal" For example, the day after
his resignation was accepted and be-
fore the Presidents note to Germany
was published Mr.. Bryan issued a
statement criticising the Presidents
policy. In another man such an &C.
ton would have been 4 sign of mall
ice. In Mr.. Bryan 1t Is only a lack
of perception. His criticism of the
President was not made In the hope
of making a break in the Democratic
Party or to stake his personal politi-
cal fortunes against those of Mr..
Wilson. His statement grew out Of q
Jealous and ill-guided desire for
peace. Nevertheless, the logic of cir
cumstances Is likely to push the two
men farther and farther apart and to
make Mr.. Bryan the spokesman for
those elements In the Democratic
Party which are disconnected with
Wilson's leadership. II Mr.. Bryan's
resignation had come upon a more
reasonable issue the natural defec-
ton it would have caused would pro-
badly mean a split in the Democratic
Party similar to that In the Republi-
can Party. This would have left the
country with four unsatisfactory
party fragments from which to
choose its administration But Mr..
Bryan's withdrawal from the Cabinet
as sponsor for an unpatriotic and I'M
popular doctrine is not likely to
cause any serious split in the Demo-
cratic ranks. Whatever support Mr..
Bryan may withdraw from the Pres
ident will be made up by the thous-
ands of voters who have found the
Democratic Party in its present
shape impossible chiefly because IL
maintained Mr.. Bryan in high place
in its councils.
His going leaves the President i'm
measurably stronger in the public
estimation and leaves the whole Ad-
ministration higher in public e.
TEEN, for though opinion differs
much about the abilities OF the difY-
erent Secretaries no large bodv NJ
public thought lacks confidence in
the common sense and character of
the Cabinet as whole.
But for the very immediate future
the significant fact is that Mr.. Bry-
ans retirement has added a unity
and strength to the confidence of the
people OF the United States in their
Government.

SHIP BADLY NEEDS REPAIRS.
Kronprinz Wilhelm Must Make For.
NAL REQUESTS.

Newport News, Va.-The German
merchant raider Kronprinz Wilhelm,
under orders from the Washington
government, will not be permitted to
go into dry dock at the shipyard here
until Captain Thierfelder, commander
of the ship, has made formal request
in writing of the repairs he wishes to
make to render his vessel seaworthy
and for supplies necessary to take him
to the nearest port.
Captain Thierfelder told Collector
of Customs Hamilton that he would
make his formal request as soon as
possible. Meanwhile the sea-scarred
commerce destroyer remains at anchor
in the James River and was examined
by experts from the Newport News
Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., who
found the ship leaking and. her boil
ers in bad shape. Unofficially it was
learned that the vessel is in need Of
much tinkering before she can be made
seaworthy and this was taken as an
indication that the ship eventually
may be forced to follow her predeces-
sor the Prinz Eitel Friedrich to intern
ment at this port for the period of
the war.

GREAT HIGHWAY is OPENED
After Seven Years Road From Spar
tanburg to HendersonxilIe Through
Heart Of Mountains is Open.

partanburg.-After an agitation OF
more than seven years and the expen-
diture of not less than $4,000 by Polk
and Henderson counties, in North
Carolina, not to mention what has
been spent by Spartanburg county. a
well located, well graded highway has
been built an opened from this city
to Hendersonville, N. c., by way OF
Inman, Campobello, Landrum, Tryon,
Saluda, Flatrock and Tuxedo, dis
lance of As miles, more than half of
which is through the very heart of the
mountains. This fact was demon
strated when more than 200 Spartan
burg people, travelling in 80 automo-
biles, made the journey to Henderson
ellie in ease and comfort and without
a mishap of any serious nature. The
tourists left Spartanburg shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock in the morning and the
majority of the cars were back in the
city before o'clock in the evening.
At Tryon a meeting of the committees
in charge Of the road, representing the
several sections of the road, was held
for the discussion of questions touch
highway. At Hendersonville the
Community Club of that city enter
tanned the entire party at the new club
house for luncheon.
The road is one of the most scenic
in the Southeast and is destined to
become popular highway with tor
lists visiting the mountains of western
North Carolina. The surprising fea-
ture of the road was the section be-
tween Saluda and Hendersonville,
which winds through a mountainous
country on easy grades. Here some
fine road construction has been done.
This section of the road was entirely
new to the great majority of the party
going over it.

MADE DEFENDANTS.
coNsPlRED TO WRECK BANK
Rioos National Bank Seeks In Court
to Stop Combined Demands OF
Treasury Officials.

Washington Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo and Comptroller OF
the Currency Williams were made de-
PENDANTS in proceedings begun in the
District of Columbia Supreme Court
ington, D. c., which alleges that these
officials have combined and conspired
to wreck the bank.
Temporary and permanent injunc-
tions to halt the alleged conspiracy,
and to prevent the Comptroller from
making what the bank charges are
unlawful demands for special reports
of various kinds, are sought from the
court.
to restrain John Burke, treasurer of
the United States from payment into
the treasury Of $4,000 declared to be
due the bank as interest on $1,000, 900
of United States bonds deposited with
the Comptroller against it's note cir
culation. This interest was withheld
to cover penalties of 800 day for
the banks failure to make certain
reports.
Once paid into the treasury, only
an act of Congress could get the $5,-
900, out and Justice Mccoy granted
a temporary Injunction ON, this phase
of the case.
The banks bill of complaint con-
tains 81 specific allegations designed
to show that the Comptroller has
adopted unusual and legally question
able tactics in dealing with the in
stituion. It recites that evidence of
an unusual desire for information
concerning the bank was shown by
Mr.. Williams shortly after he assumed
the office of Comptroller more than a
year ago, and has continued ever
since Prior to that time, in Deem
Der, 1913, it says Mr.. McAdoo charged
officers of the bank of responsibility
for publications regarding the official
conduct Of the defendant Williams as
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.
When this charge was denied, the
bill asserts, Secretary McAdoo cursed
Milton E. Allies, vice president of
the bank, and said to C. G.. Glover, it's
president: "Mr Glover, you know
what this means to the Riggs National
Bank"

For three years the young man at
tended Hedding College at Abingdon.
Illinois, rare old institution that
teaches the essential things of life.
and the next three years of his life
were spent in teaching school. In
1888 he went to Michigan and was
employed in a general store for five
years, and the succeeding ten years
he was employed at bank work.
In 1901 Colonel Downen was mar
ried. and in 1902 he removed to the
island of Cuba. where he purchased
1900 acres of fine cane growing land
and took up his residence upon IT,.
Now. be II known, that such an ad-
venture was pretty lonely one for
such gay and giddy thing as the
Colonel must have been in those
dancing days of his youth. His
neighbors of the genus homo were
about II miles apart. but he had an
awful jam of company. such as bull
bats. whippoorwills, bullfrogs, mos
quitoes, lizards and insurrectos. II
is not generally known but some of
his acquaintances are aware of the
fact that Colonel Downen developed
his wonderful musical talent. and Inn
proved his vocal organs in a high
degree by tuning up and taking night
lessons from the dappy demons OF
the forest that surrounded his is
land home.
One evening when the katydids
and the night birds were warbling on
a double time shift. and the Colonel
was busily engaged in shoveling the
lonliness off his front porch in big
chunks, he concluded that It was
not good to be lonesome. Besides
that, it was irksome to shovel things
so he just sat down in an easy rock
er and began TO scratch the hair Of
his head in sober and high class
thought. A glance at mis- sky-piecC
will prove a part Of is statement
In good truth Colonel Downen is ;
