the country. The winter and
spring wheat crop is estimated
at $50, 600, 900 bushels, 59,0O0,-
600 bushels in excess of the 1914

growing conditions the report
says the crop may reach a billion

at 274 million.
This years crop of oats is two

Wars Steady Grind

The resignation Of William j.
Bryan as secretary of state and
the nature of the American note
to Germany, which brought it
about, transcends in interest all
else bearing on the war in Eng
land and Germany. The London
papers give Bryan's letter and
President Wilson'S reply the
most prominent positions, and
these are followed by long dis
patches from the American cor
respondents. The general feel
ing, as expressed by the English
papers, is that America stands
firm"
In Germany the news caused a
deep stir and the foreign office
Immediately ordered the news
papers to refrain from comment
ing on the resignation until fur
ther notice. Regardless of the
order the Mittag Zeitung de-
clares, 1T must be growing

America that America is playing

ceptance, and | accept it with
much more than deep regret,

row. Our two years Of close as

ful 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 freat office and
your eagerness to take advan-
tage OF every great opportunity
for service it offered has been
an example to the rest of US;
you have earned our affectionate
admiration and friendship, Even

method by which we seek it.

STORES TO CLOSE
MONDAY, JULY 9Th

The business men of Roman,
that is, the general stores and
the banks, have decided to take
advantage of the 4th of July
coming on Sunday and make for
themselves and employees a two
days vacation, and when they
close on Saturday, July 3, it will
be for the following two days,
Sunday and Monday, July 4 and
5.
This will give many an oppor-
tunity to celebrate who other
wise would be unable to do so.
Quite delegation will leave here
early Sunday morning and go to
Missoula, returning Monday
night. Others will go elsewhere.
It is pretty certain that Roman
will practically be deserted for
the two days. Farmers and
everybody else should lay in their
provisions on Saturday, for it is
a dead shot that no back doors
will be open on Monday.
Those who have signifed their
intention of closing their places
of business on Monday are Stan
ley Scearce, A. M. Sterling Co.,
Roman Mercantile Co., Lemire
Bros, Jim O'Brien, First Ma
tional bank, Roman State bank,
Reservation Land and Lumber
Co., Roman Meat Market, the
Pioneer, and several others.

BRYAN RESIGNS
FROM CABINET

Disagreement with the presi-
dent over the government policy
toward Germany, led Secretary
Of State Bryan to tender Presi-
dent Wilson his resignation last
Tuesday. Mr.. Bryan has been
secretary since President Wilson
was inaugurated on March 4,
1913, and during that period has
drawn and entered into thirty
peace treaties with the principal
nations of the world. He is and
has been a strong advocate of
peace and unreservedly opposed
to war, and this undoubtedly has
prompted his resignation at this
time. Below is given Mr.. Bryan's s
letter of resignation and Presi-
dent Wilson's reply:
BRYAN'S LETTER
my Dear Mr.. President:
1T is with sincere regret that
[ have reached the conclusion
that | should return to you the
commission of secretary of state
with which you honored me at
the beginning Of your admins
tration.
"Obedient to your sense of
duty and actuated by the highest
motives, you have prepared for
transmission to the German gov
eminent note in which [ can
not join without violating what |
deem to be an obligation to my
country, and the issue involved
is of such moment that to remain
q member of the cabinet would
be as unfair to you as it would
be to the cause which is nearest |
to my heart-namely, the pre-
vention of war.
/, therefore, respectfully ten
der 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 aris-
ing out of the use of submarines
against merchantmen, we find
ourselves differing irreconcilably
as to the methods which should
be employed.
1t falls to your lot to speak
officially for the nation; I con-
slider it to be none the less my
duty to endeavor as a private
citizen to promote the end which
you have in view by means which
you do not feel at liberty to use.
