This year the 'Chautauqua Associa
tion announces that it has adopted a
definite rule for children. It has been
decided thut no child unaccompanied
by nil adult will be permitted to sit
nearer the front than the eighth or
ninth row. Neither will adults unac-
eonipanieu by children be permitted to
occupy the front rows, except in the
case of the aged or Infirm. It is ex
pected thut one adult will not accom
pany more than four or five children.
It is believed that this rule will be
warmly approved by all. as it is fair to
both adults and children.

REASONS WHY BRYAN
RESIGNED
"God bless you" were the words
which came simultaneously from Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary of State
Bryan as they closed their conference
when Mr. Bryan paid his last official
call on the President just before the
telegraphing of the note to Germany
which brought about the resignation
of the Secretary of State. Those
words came from impulses in the
hearts of two men who understood
each other, both open-minded, big
brained, patriotic Americans. Mr.
Bryan withdrew from the Cabinet
with the good will, with the confi
dence and with the expression of
"more than deep regret" and "with
a feeling of personal sorrow" of the
President.
This is the view of the man most
concerned in the resignation of Mr.
Bryan, and these are the expressions
which came from the man to whom
Mr. Bryan had given his reasons for
resigning from the Cabinet. These
are circumstances which should be
kept in mind in considering that res
ignation. Some critics of Mr. Bryan
are trying to manufacture different
reasons why he resigned and are try
ing to forecast what will be the polit
ical results because he returned to
President Wilson the commission of
Secretary of State, and are engaged
in the suggestion of ulterior motive,
in place of holding Mr. Bryan as the
honest man he is, and taking him at
his word.
What are the reasons? '
The answer to that question is not
difficult.
1. Mr. Bryan's -reasons are so
straightforward that there is no just
cause for speculation. As stated by
himself in his letter to President Wil
son they are as follows: .
Obedient to your sense of duty"
and actuated by the highest mo
ti"es, you ' have prepared for
transmission to the German gov
ernment a note in which I cannot
join without violating what. I 1
deem to be an obligation to my
country and the issue involved is
of such moment that to remain
a member of the Cabinet would be
as unfair to you as it would be"
to the cause which is nearest my
heart, namely, the prevention of '
war. Alike desirous of '
reaching a peaceful solution of
the problems arising out of the
use of submarines against mer- !
chantmen, we find ourselves dif- 1
f ering irreconcilably as to the !
"methods which should be employ- 1
ed. It falls to your lot to spea
officially for the nation; I consid
er it to be none the less my duty (
to endeavor as a private citizen '
to promote the end which yom
have in view by means which '
you do not feel at liberty to use. ii
Mr. Bryan believed the note might
cause war and that a different note
might make war impossible. When
these two great men, Wilson and Bry
an, with the same objects in view,
could not agree, Mr. Bryan, acting aa
he always does from strong and hon
est convictions, resigned. We feel
that he should have remained in the
Cabinet as ve do but no matter
what may be the opinions on that
point, the country will never be per
suaded that Mr. Bryan could be any
thing but an unselfish patriot.
2. Mr. Bryan and Mr. Wilson are
agreed upon the great constructive
legislation enacted by Congress, and
co-operated to secure it. It is our
firm and fixed opinion that Mr. Bryan
has no object except to advance such
principles, and he can do much to ad
vance them. Many believe he can
serve them better as a private citizen
than with the limitations which office
imposes. At any rate all the twaddle
about Mr. Bryan's having in view pol
itics or helping other parties is the
silliest nonsense. He is not that kin
of a man. He is too great to be made
greater by office, too honest to lose the
confidence of the American people in
his integrity by laying down office.
Mr. Bryan is a man fully known by
the people of this country. It is his
due that any criticism of his course be
made upon the facts, not the assupt
ions and the conjectures of oritics who
draw upon their imaginations, or thct
declaration-, of those who have never
been able to rise above small preju
dices and recognize the true Bryan.
He has set fovth the reasons for his
resignation, he has set forth his pur
poses, and those who esteem honesty
and truth and right will accept these
in their words and in their spirt?.
They will recognize that what Mr.
Bryan has done has been because of
convictions which are implanted in
him, that he is obedient to his sense
of duty, and is actuated by motivea
which he holds high above personal
aggrandizement or popular applause
