OKLAHOMA PRESS VIEWS OF
BRYAN's RESIGNATION.

Al far as our reading Of our Ok;c

days shows. the disposition Of the
press Of the state is to commend Bryan
for his withdrawal from the cabinet
and at the same time urge that Presl-
dent Wilson should be supported N

the great principles that have always
governed his actions. Bryan has re-
signed from the cabinet rather than
be responsible for what he does not
consider the proper course to be pur-
sued with reference to foreign affairs.
The Democrat believes that Wilson Is
right in this instance and that moro
vigorous foreign policy on the part
Of the United States will hasten peace
in both Europe and Mexico. II be-
lieves that this country owes duty
to humanity which can best be per-
formed by positive demands Of fair
treatment Of its citizens and the en-
forcing OF those demands. This will

it wiz be done in such way that

The responsibility OF government
lies chiefly upon Woodrow Wilson ana
the president Is right in having nss
way about matters after, of course,
giving due consideration to the opin-
ions OF those who make up his official
family. This government belongs to
the people who happen to live here
and who bear its expenses and for the
time being they have placed Woodrow
Wilson at the head of affairs and it is
to him to whom we look and to whom
we owe allegiance and he is to be
commended for ha1ine opinions Of his
own and for standing firm for them.
"Mr. Wilson has used pacIfiers in
dealing with countries involved in the
European war and with Mexico until
re has concluded that pacifiers have
very little merit and he has exchanged
them for the rod and he will be firmer
frcm this on in dealing with other
nations. His note to Germany will ex-
press firmness and yigor without re-
gard to the consequences.
The conservative element of the
United States are hopeful that the
president in changing his front will
not go to that extreme which will lead
him to do that which he has persist
emily urged the people not TO do. Their
hope Is that the greatest wisdom will
guide his acts but whatever those acts
are the people will be loyal in any
emergencies that might arise from
them.
