A Few Questions

Editor Independent: | would like
to ask few questions about the treaty
between this great nation and the
sultan of Sulu:
1. Why was tn. treaty entered in
to and approved by our president?
g. What duties does this sultan and
his datoes perform to earn their sal
airy? Are they on the civil service list?
3. How many wives has this old
Mohammedan got, and how many con-
cubines?
d. How many slaves has he got?
S. How long will it take the slaves
tc earn their market price working
for nothing" a day?
g. Are the sultan and his datoes all
pirates and cannibals?
Z. Have any Christian preachers
gone into this old sultans den to act
as missionaries?
8. Have any young lady school
teachers gone into his harem to edu-
cate his children if SO, what success
are they having?
8. When our government was max
ing these treaties why did they not
make q Treaty WIN AZ dIlu pay
him salary ard establish a protec-
torate over him cad other sultans and
datoes? Why did not Funston go and
catch this sultan and give him the
water cure? T. j. QUAIL.
WATERFOWL, Neb.
(The speech of Hon. Malcolm r.
Patterson of Tennessee, delivered in
the house March 26, 1902, and printed
in the Congressional Record Of April
1, 1902, will give Mr.. Quail unequivo-
cal answers to his questions. The In
oependent hopes to republish this
speech in the near future, but right al
the present time it's space is so crowd
ed with other matter that it cannot be
done. 1t is possible that Mr.. Patter-
son may have had his speech printed
in pamphlet form. A letter addressed
to him at Memphis, Tenn. requesting
a copy of his speech would doubtless
receive careful attention Most Amer
lean citizens know the answers to Mr.
Quail's questions in a general way
but Mr.. Patterson's speech presents
the facts in such an undeniable man
ner that The Independent would rather
wait and reprint than attempt any
categorical answers to Mr.. Quail on its
own account.-Ed. indy

Left Them Out

of President Benjamin Ide Wheeler
of the University of California has
attracted much attention and revived
:. story of month ago in which the
president of the United States and
President Wheeler were the central
figures. 1t will be recalled that when
President Roosevelt was in California
he dedicated the University of Califor
ria.
The dedicatory ceremonies was held
in the university's amphitheatre which
William Randolph Hearst donated to
the university. 1t is well known that
Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, the mother OF
Representative Hearst, is the chief
henefactor of the University OF Cali
fornia/ She was made regent OF
the state because of her munificent
donations to this institution
For four years she has devoted her
self exclusively to this seat of learn
ing. She began by announcing
worldwide competition for the univer-
sity plans and these plans alone cost
ultimately 100000. Her total contri-
buttons are said to aggregate S1,0oo,-
Goo.
President Wheeler on the occasion
of the dedication ceremonies read the
names of all the donors except those
of Mrs. and Mr.. Hearst The Califor-
ria press and CalifOrnians generally
were indignant at this omission. No
one could understand why the name or
the chief benefactors of the univer-
sity should be omitted when the names
on persons contributing comparatively
sn all amounts were read. More than
5000 persons were said to be present
il. the amphitheatre when the exer-
tises occurred and President Wheeler
did not mention the name of Hearst,
presumably because he feared there
would be a great popular demonstra-
ton on the part of the audience and
this demonstration on the part OF the
audience, it is assumed, would nave
been annoying to President Roosevelt.
The latest news, therefore, that
President Wheeler was guest at the
White house for three days and IS
now mentioned as the one likely to be
appointed as minister to The Hague
is attracting general attention.
Is President Wheeler now receiving
his reward for suppressing the name
O. Hearst? Is he. to be sent to The
Hague as an evidence of the fact that
the president Is grateful to him for
failing to mention the family name IN
California is revered and esteemed?
But after all the main questions
are:
| WHY did President Wheeler fail to
| mention the name of Hearst at the
| dedication ceremonies?
Did President Roosevelt request
President Wheeler to ignore the
names?
If so. why should President Roose
| .elt have objected to the mention OF
the names and the natural demonstra-
ton of enthusiasm that would have
resulted?
California is said to be so indignant
ever this remarkable situation that
President Wheeler may we'll feel II
necessary to have a soft spot selected
for alighting purposes and there Is
eminent propriety in the administra-
ton furnishing the spot.

The people of Nebraska are begin
ming to realize the advantages to the
state and all the people to be derived
from building up home institutions.
This is particularly true in the in
surance business. There is no rea-
son whatever why Nebraskan should
go east to buy his life insurance. In
many cases the rates are higher and
the safety of the company is aot as
good as the home company.
