BRYAN RESIGNED FROM
OFFICE YESTERDAY NOON
Secretary Of State Resigns Over Differ
ences Between Himself and President
Over Message to Germany--Lansing
Acting.

Washington, June 9.-After two
years and three months as secretary
of state, a little more than half of the
Wilson Observation-Disclosures today
returned to private life. His depart
ure from the cabinet under sensational
circumstances he could not
join in the approval of the note to
Germany or reconcile its principles to
a cause which he declares to be near.
est his heart, "the prevention of war"
developed not only a most unusual
situation in the domestic politics Of
the United States, but grave turn in
it's foreign policy. Staunch in his ad-
vocacy of peace, but firmly set
against any communication to Ger
many which might involve the United
States in war, Bryan found himself
opposed not only by the president, but
by the majority of the members of the
cabinet in the methods of dealing with
the situation.
The president, in his letter express
ing regret over the Bryan resignation,
said he was not separating himself
from Bryan in the objects sought In
the present crisis. but only in the
method by which they were to be ac-
complished. President Wilson and his
advisers are equally anxious to pre-
vent war, but in asserting the rights
Of the United States, they hold it alb
solutely necessary to affirm the Amer
ican position in such way as to leave
no doubt abroad as to the firm inten-
tion of the United States to enforce
it's rights if necessary to secure pro-
lection for American citizens on the
high seas.
Officials and diplomatists who have
followed the situation very closely
pointed out that the president stood
with Bryan in doing everything pos
sible to prevent war, but believed II
necessary, also, to be ready for event

ERCISES

On Monday night Of this week the
Garden Valley school of which Miss
Alberta Francis is the teacher held
their closing exercises in the school
house which was filled to it's seating
capacity. Besides the immediate
neighborhood there were a goodly
number from other districts. An auto
load from town, containing Mr.. and
Mrs. Brownson, Miss bennett, Miss
Gill, Miss baldwin and Miss Monroe
contributed to the programme and en-
ioyed the most excellent work done by
Miss Francis's pupils. Mrs. Siewert
was also present and contributed to
the musical part Of the program. The
only regret was that Miss Francis her
self, who had given so much Of her
time and strength to make the evening
a success could not be present to see
how we'll it was carried out. Mrs.
Howard Lampman presided in her abb
sence, but the children knew so well
what they were to do that they scarce
ly needed guidance. Miss Francis is
to be congratulated upon making them
so self-reliant, and upon her thorough.

WATKINS READY
TO FIGHT BILL
WILL CONTEST REFERENDUM
PETITIONS ON PROPOSED
BOOTLEGGER ACT

Bismarck, N. D., June 5.-Watkins
executive officer Of the State Enforce
ment league stated this morning,
that no steps would be taken relative
to referending the bootlegging bill
until after Secretary Of state Hall had
made official announcement Of the
count Of signers.
If Hall says there are enough, every
legal way will be used to set aside the
effect of the petition, which would
be to postpone operation Of the bill
until after the next general election.
Watkins spoke of the sufficiency Of
the signers and this is indicated that
there might be an attempt to verify
them if Hall finds there are sufficient
names.
Appearances still indicate that this
is the only bill over which there will
be a contest.

The largest class to ever graduate
from the Williston schools were given
their diplomas at the Commencement
exercises held in the Congregational
church last Friday evening. The hour
for the program was set for eight
thirty but long before that time every
seat in the church was taken and
ushers were kept busy placing chairs
in every available place and at that
many were unable to attend. The pro-
gram opened with the class march by
the Onstad Orchestra when the large
class, in their robes marched into their
seats.
The invocation was given by Rev.
H. Styles Harriss followed by a musi-
cal number, Morning Invitation" by
the High School Glee Club.
Two orations were delivered by class
members, one "The Price of the

VIM. MALONEY
IS DISBARRED
SUPR EME COURT YETERDAY
HANDS DOWN ITS DECISION
IN THE MATTER

Bismarck, June 8-William Maloney
of Wheelock, formerely engaged in
the practice of law at Williston, was
disbarred by order of the supreme
court yesterday.
Maloney was charged with charg-
ing for services not performed in that
he is said to have collected about
81 900 for client but refused to turn
it over, claiming it as fee.
This is the second disbarment pro-
ceeding instituted against him, the
court holding in the first instance that
his conduct was not commendable but
that it would hardly justify disbar-
ment.
The decision of the supreme court in
the matter of the disbarmeot pro-
ceedings again Maloney is as follows:

ualities in case Germany refused to
acquiesce in the American point Of
view as to neutral rights on the high
seas and her continued attacks on
American lives and vessels. Through
his friends it was learned that Bryan
intends to continue his political sup
port Of the president. He has given
Wilson such assistance through his in
fluence in congress heretofore and
plans to 60 on with the work for the
maintenance of democratic policies.
The outstanding feature, however,
of the situation is the effect of Bryan's
resignation on the situation between
the United States and Germany. Here
tofore, there have been many intima-
tions from official sources in Berlin,
that the viewpoint of the United Stat
es as expressed in notes sent could
not be taken seriously because Of the
knowledge that Bryan was committed
against drastic measures. In one OF
his speeches, Bryan had said that
while he was Secretary of State there
never would be war. His withdrawal
at critical moment over the very
question of adopting a firm and vig-
orous policy is regarded in official and
diplomatic circles here as likely to
produce a profound impression on the
German government.
In the closing hours of his admins
tration Secretary Bryan bade farewell
to his associates in the state depart.

tive questions, received newspaper
correspondents, and made a tour Of

turned the affairs of his Office to Coun-
sellor Lansing at P. M. As to his
personal plans for the future, Bryan
said none had been formulated, and
that he expected to remain in Wash

"HYPOCRITES OR
TRUTH" PICTURES
GREAT PICTURE TO BE SHOWN
AT ORPHEUM MONDAY NIGHT
OF NEXT WEEK

The shallowness of the politicians
honesty, the thin veneer Of society, the
mockery of love, the blindness of vir-
tue and the average parents attitude
toward truth in all it's forms, these,
with the farcial modesty of the mod
ern smart girl, are a few of the sub
jects touched upon by Bosworth's
great four-part photodrama.
"Hypocrites" is now running to
capacity houses in both New York and
Chicago, with no end to the run in
sight in either city, and the critics
have lauded it to the skies. They have
praised every department of the pro-
duction, but they believe the most
credit should be given to Lois Weber,
the author and director, who assumes
responsibility for the artistic produc-
tion Of the very unusual theme. The
inspiration Of Truth as presented in
this film first came to A. Faugrons,
who paintings of "The Naked Truth
was the source of much comment five
years ago. Then it remained for, Lois
Weber to take the soul out of the
painting and weave around it story
Of the probable origin of the thought
in the mind Of the painter.
Miss Weber brings Truth to present
day phases of life and in one scene.
a political orator is being applauded
bv a crowd Of prospective voters for
the slogan and his campaign greeting
Honesty is My Platform" Truth an
pears on the scene, flashes her mir
ror and the orator is seen in the back
room Of gin mill surrounded by
grafters and other henchmen. In an
other scene of the picture, we are
given the ornortunitv to see the base
ness to which love is far too often
turned. Still later the minister and
Truth find themselves at the seashore
where fashionable men and women
are shown in anything but modest Co.'S
tunes, who scorn the appearance of
Truth who flashes her mirror on the
comparison of modern modestv.
In seeing "Hvpocrites. the THOUGHT
comes that existence is bad. The
thought that follows it is that there
is such thing as truth-no longer
hung about with the painted rags Of
insinceritv and pretense.
Hypocrites will be exhibited at the
Orpheum Theatre Monday, June IA,
matinee and night.

The war pictures shown at the Or

A Diplomatic Triumph

Duval West, who has been in Mexi-
co for some time as the personal rep
resentatiye of President Wilson, has
announced his intention of returning
to the United States. 1t is well that
the Importance of this event should
not be overlooked, for the Wilson ad
ministration has no large amount of
credit coming to it from events in
Mexico, and the fairminded student
Of current events should give it full
measure even in small matters.
History has found worthy of record
the exploit of a certain king of France
who with forty thousand men marched
up the hill and then marched down
again, and if the Wilson administra-
ton has accomplished nothing more
in Mexico than to have Duval West
go to Mexico and come home again,
this triumph of diplomacy should not
be ignored or forgotten.
On the other side of the ledger
it may be permissible TO record that
the mines of the Guanajuato district
which are said TO be the richest of
the North American continent have
been forced finally to close on ac-
count Of the interminable conflict be
tween Mexican factions. An immense
amount Of investment is thereby de-
stroycd or greatly diminished, thous-
ands are deprived Of employment and
this result is due to the incompetency
of the Wilson administration and its
watchful waiting policy.
Hundreds Of American and Euro
peans have been murdered, millions of
property have been destroyed, solemn
international obligations have been
ruthlessly violated, and most serious
international entanglements have been
imposed upon the United States, and
all this has occurred without a single
step toward a permanent and satisfac-
tory settlement of the Mexican trou-
bles.
However, let US be just. Duval
West went to Mexico and came home
again. Whatever credit there is in
this fact belongs to the Wilson ad-
ministration.- Pueblo Chieftain.

Civil War Horse Still Survives

The oldest horse that served the
country in the War Of the Rebellion
is still alive, at the age Of SO years, at
Horscheads, N. Y. 1t is owned by p.
A. Mcintosh who is also a veteran of
the same war To prove his assertion
Mr.. Mcintosh shows the government
brand on the animals hip, which reads
81. C. 1865" Horse and man served
in the same regiment. Although bent
with age, his hair turning gray and
his teeth becoming worn, the old war
horse is still able to eat u quarts of
oats and take his master to town sew
eral times a week. 1t is estimated
the animal is at least SO years old.
Farmers say the average life Of a
horse is about 15 years.
