A TRIBUTE TO BRYAN

Bryan is great statesman and has
ideas perhaps different from those
OF the president on matters affect
ing our relations with foreign govern
ments. AS the head of the state de-
partment he desired to carry his
ideas into effect, and not being able
to agree with the president. he has
done the great and noble thing
signed so as not to embarass the ma
tion's chief, during this trying time
when war with Germany is possi-
bility.
Bryan, like Blaine, has not made
a success in a secondary position.
Fate has perhaps decreed that Bryan
shall not be president but the great
issues and principles that he has
fought SO grandly for. have been
adopted by the people, and his name
will be honored and respected by
coming generations.
He has done more to emphasize
moral character and temperate habits
among government officials than all
the great statesmen of the past gem
GRAFTON put together All honor to
Bryan and may he live many more
years to spread his good influence.

Bryan's Resignation.

Secretary Bryan's letter of resigna-
tion was as follows:
My dear Mr.. President. 1t is with
sincere regret that 1 have reached
the conclusion that I should return
to you the commission of secretary
of state with which you honored me
at the beginning of your administra-
tion.
"Obedient to your sense of duty
and actuated by the highest motives
you have prepared for transmission
to the German government a note in
which ! cannot join without yiolat-
ing what deem to be an obligation
to my country and the issue involved
is of such moment that to remain
member of the cabinet would be as
unfair to you as 1t would be to the
cause which is nearest to my heart
namely the prevention of war.
Il therefore. respectfully tender
my resignation to take effect when
the note is sent, unless you prefer
an earlier hour. Alike desirous of
reaching peaceful solution of these
problems arising out of the use of
submarines against merchantmen, we
find ourselves differing irreconcill-
ably as to the methods which should
be employed,
1T falls to your lot to speak Of.
ficially for the nation: / consider
1t to be none the less my duty to en-
daavor as a private citizen to pro-
mote the end which you have in view
by means which you do not feel at
liberty to use
I'm severing the intimate and
pleasant relations which have existed
between us during the past two years
permit me to acknowledge the pro-
found satisfaction which 1t has given
me to be associated with you in the
work which has come before the
state department and to thank you
for the courtesies shown.
With the heartiest wishes for
your welfare and for the success of
your administration, I am, my dear
Mr.. President,
Very truly yours,
(Signed) w. J. BRYAN"

Presidents Acceptance.

The presidents letter to Mr.. Bryan
was as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Bryan: accept
your resignation only because you
insist upon its acceptance, and ac-
cept it with much more than deep
regret, with feeling of personal
sorrow. Our two years of close as
sociation have been delightful to me.
Our judgments have accorded in
practically every matter of official
duty and of public policy until now
Your support of the work and pur-
poses of this administration has been
generous and loyal beyond praise.
Your devotion to the duties of your
great office and your eagerness to
take advantage of every great OPP
portunity for service If offered has
been an example to the rest of us.
You have earned our affectionate adj
mirAtion and friendship. Even now
we are not separated In the object
we seek but only In the method by
which we seek 1t.
'.It Ia for these reasons that my
feelings about your retirement from
the office OF secretary of state go
much deeper than regret. deplore
1t. Our objects are the same and we
ought to pursue them together. /
yield to your desire only because I
must and wish to bid you godspeed
on the parting. We shall continue to
work for the same causes even when
we do not work in the same way.
with affectionate regard, sim
cerely yours.
