THI EVENING EEPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

Mr. Bryan’s Resignation.

To one who believes that the welfare of the country is above that of a political party, and that justice and right are above both, and that it is our duty to serve either according to the light within us, and regardless of what consequences it may hold for us, the action of Mr. Bryan in re.signing his position as secretary of state at this juncture cannot appear unpatriotic and un-American. He had convinced himself beyond reasonable doubt that the course of the government, which he was. unable to alter, but of which he was the spokesman, was contrary to the best interests of the country and also contrary to right and justice. One may differ with him on that point and still believe that his action was noble and worthy of the commendation of has fellow-citizens. It is an example of personal courage and devotion to duty and the truth as he sees it which would inspire his countrymen. He was not in the position of the ordinary citizen who can say: “Let the government see to it.” He was a very responsible part of the government and he was to sign a document which, in his opinion and in that of others, might lead to a war with a hitherto friendly nation. It is has firm conviction that such a war is avoidable and that the just interests of the citizens of the United States can be secured by other means. He described his plan in a memorandum to the president and the cabinet and he urged it with all the power of which he is capable, but he fails to convince them of the wisdom of his proposals. Should he then sign a document which he cannot approve, and which he believes will be fraught with disastrous consequences to his country and which, moreover, violates his sense of justice and fairness? To do so, would have meant to violate his oath of office, and to go contrary to his best'instincts as a man and citizen and to the noblest principles he ever set himself. Let us admire him at least for this that he has the courage of his covictions and that we have men in Washington who have this courage and who are ready to stand by them no matter what the consequences may be for themselves. There has been too little of that lately in the public life of the country, especially in the discussion of the Lusitania incident. There has been a growing disposition to leave everything to the government and to receive passively whatever they may deride upon. That may be European but it is not American. The very life of the democracy requires that the people are both intelligent and have the courage of their convictions, and be willing to uphold them even though they be in a minority and though their opinions for the moment seem unpatriotic. We blame the Kaiser and the British cabinet and the other secret government agencies for bringing Europe to the brink of war, and then when it was too late to avoid it, announcing the fact to the people or the popular representatives. Have we not permitted our government to do the very same thing, simply saying: “Stand by the president”? Hence the responsibility of Mr. Bryan. Is there an American citizen of ordinary intelligence and fairness who will not admit that the question of the sinking of the Lusitania and of similar future attacks on vessels of that type carrying ammunition and other contraband is at least debatable? That Germay has some rights in the matter, growing out of. the right of self-protection? It is only a question of how this right shall be exercised. There was Mr. Bryan’s mistake, that he signed his name to the first note demanding compliance with the old law of the sea that merchant vessels must first be stopped and searched, when he knew that this law was necessarily obsolete, since the present conditions made compliance with it impossible and when he knew, too, that this happens in every war, as, for instance, it did in our own civil war, when the government declared a blockade x of all the southern ports although it had but few vessels to employ* for that purpose. It could not station one or more before each port as the laws required, and Great Britain therefore declared the blockade ineffective and non-exist-ent. But the United States contended that the use of steam vessels had made the old law obsolete and so it was declared in a conference after the war. Laws arise out of conditions and when these change the laws change. If in that first note, instead of adhering to the old laws ana then making all submarine warfare against fast vessels carrying contraband impossible. Mr. Bryan would have asked the German government for an exchange of opinion as to how the lives of American citizens might be guarded without depriving Germany of the right of self-protec-tion against the importation of ammunition by her enemies, some modus vivendi would have been found and we would not be in the present dilemma. President Wilson uttered a noble sentiment when he said that there is such a thing as “being too proud to fight.” Let him go one step further and say .that a man should not be too proud or too determined to reconsider his position and to modify it, if the best interests of the country and one’s own better judgmet of the case so advise. I for one cannot believe that the president will use American lives as protection for the forwarding of ammunition, ad I too cannot believe that a thoughtful American will insist on his right to travel hq® ppd wterei •

Tropical Plants for Indoor Winter Garden

With'a little care, a number of tropical plants may be grown indoors, and during the winter they, are a particularly attractive addition to a bay window or conservatory garden. Various kinds of palms, rubber plants, oleanders, aspidistras and cacti are easily kept in good condition indoors if given the proper attention and not permitted to be exposed to frost, according to the Department of Agriculture’s horticulturists. Palms are much used for interior decorations where there is no direct sunlight. Regular watering is essential, with especial care not to overwater. It is better with most palms to keep them a little dry than too wet. Where a pot is in a jardiniere especial care must be exercised not to have them too wet. While small, wash the foliage occasionally with soadsuds made from a good soap. Immediately follow with a thorough rinsing. When too large for this, spray the tops frequently with clear water. Browning at the tips usually comes trouble at the roots. First, overwatering; second, worms on the roots; third, lack of plant food. The first is the trouble in nearly every case. The ' worms that gave the trouble is not the ordinary earth worm, but a little white harmless looking creature that emerges into the air as a small fly. Dissolve a piece of quicklime as big as a tea cup in three gallons of water. After it is through sputtering and the milky mixture has cleared, pour off the clear part and soak your soil with it. Do not dilute, for the soaking should be thorough. To provide plant food, stir small quantities of bone meal and wood ashes into the surface or in place of ordinary watering occasionally use manure water or ammonia water (a teaspoonful of ammonia to a quart of water). Trim off the brown tips, as they will never recover.- If the leaves turn yellow, look for scale on the under side and be sure you are not overwatering. Wash the scale off or spray with kerosene emulsion or whale-oil soap, or some nicotine preparation. Do not repeat too often. If a palm grows three new leaves a year it does well. Rubber plants are especially satisfactory to grow where there is a good light without direct sunlight Water often enough to keep the soil moist but do not under any circumstances permit water to stand about the roots nor allow it to become "bone dry." A potted plant set in a jardiniere needs especial care not to overwater. Wash the foliage frequently with soap suds made from good soap. Rinse thoroughly at once.

Repot occasionally as the pots become full of roots. Feed once in two to four weeks with dilute nitrate of soda (a heaping teaspoonful dissolved in water) or ammonia water or manure water as described for the palm or some prepared plant food. Oleanders may be treated more or less as are palms. Aspiridistras are most ornamental. They should be kept rather drier than palms and rubber plants. Cacti require rather dry sandy soil

How to Pick a Husband

The Paris Figaro pretends to be able to read the character of anybody by the way in which he eats a peach and similar trifling acts at table. “Watch your lover, young woman,” it advises. “If he bends over his knife and fork and finishes his roast in three gulps, beware. He is surely not appreciative, and you may dress with taste and look ever so pretty, and he will not know it If he is fond of sweets, he is nervous and will nag. If he likes cheese and roast meat he will be mu* cular and placid. If he has times of immoderate eating of bread, he is fond of the country. If he eats a peach slowly and tenderly, like a connoisseur, peels it like an artist and treats it with reverence, Instead of hurrying it down like a boor, he is all right and the sooner you marry him, the happier you will be.” But it is not well to confide too mucf in these snap tests. They sound clever, but they do not always wear well—Kate' Upson Clark, in Leslie’s. - .
