The newspapers which are in this cr)nspir;ycy attack those who want the country to keep faith, using all the. billingsgate necessary, and showing that style of argument which may be ex- pected of men to whom national honor is an empty name. The latest outbreak of these dishonorable Americans appears in the St. Paul Pioneer-Press. That paper sees in the Spanish bonds secured on the Cuban revenues a reason why our pledge should be broken. It says: “So venal have large numbers of the late insurgents become—the people who would most probably control the independent government should such be formed—that it is by no means certain they would not sell out for a reasonable proportion of the spoils. It is impossible to believe that the intelli- gent among its population—those who alone should have a voice in determining the island’s destiny—will vote to incur the peril of such an obligation, in ad- dition to all other perils which would beset a re- | public dominated by a mongrel population, ignorant | of the alphabet of republicanism as well as of all other alphabets. Whatever intelligent strength may be given to the cause of Cuban independence and anti- | annexation hereafter is to be mainly looked for in | the ranks of American anti-expansionists, allied with “lobbyists employed by the holders of Spanish obliga- tions, misnamed Cuban bonds.” There is the programme which the American people [ THIZ Cuban-American League is at work again | i conquest has | ht on the subject of territorial acquisi- | It will not be permitted to con- | % : 53 { Lour,” he said, “I know that I am a member in a | are asked to indorse. The Cuban bonds are the same as they were when Congress declared “the Cubans are and of right ought to be independent.” The in- surgents are no better nor worse morally and politi- cally than they were when we placed them beside our continental army. Not an Ethiopian mongrel among { them has changed his skin. They are no less quali- xf(ied for independence than when Congress declared | they were and of right ought to be independent. | They are no more ignorant of alphabets now than | then. In no respect nor particular has the situation | changed, so far as their right to independence goes, | | since we promised it to them. We said nothing then iabnut only the intelligent among then: having a ‘ voice in public affairs. We have discovered nothing 1 in them that was not known when our promise was | made. ‘ True, it is the law of nations that public debts are | not repudiated by a change of sovereignty. The is- @sue presented is whether by forcible annexation | against the will of the real majority of the people we | will divert the wealth of the island to the enrichment | of a few favored American exploiters or by keeping | our pledge will permit the people to compound or | repudiate the Cuban bonds as they please, either de- voting the wealth of the island to their payment in | repudiation keeping that wealth for themselves. | | whole or in part, or by | | We are strong enough to repudiate the Cuban | bonds if we are dishonorable enough to repudiate our | | | own solemn pledge of independence. But let us go | about it frankly and not with a floursack mask such | as stage robbers wear. I It is not true that France, where most of these | bonds are held, could as a Government ** ;a display of force as Cuba, unaided, could not dream | of resisting.” If she could under the law of nations appear as the armed collector of claims held by indi- viduals, that right is not in the least affected by an- nexation of Cuba to the United .States. It would re- | main as a slumbering cause of war, to be used in | any time of national weakness or peril that might | come to us. E There is no modern case of a nation appearing | under such circumstances as a bill collector. The | English management of Egyptian finances is not such | |a case. No foreign Government could enforce the payment of Cuban bonds, except by such an asser- tion of force as involves violation and defiance of the | Monroe doctrine, which the world knows this Gov- | If France should attempt | | ernment will not permit. | it it would require the installation of French sov- ereignty over the Cuban revenues and their source in the industries of the island. | Yet this absurdity serves the purpose of the league of dishonor which is preparing to steal Cuba. J S — The dispatches are authority for the assertion that | the people of Chicago intend to make desperate efforts | to decorate their city in honor of a prospective visit of Admiral Dewey. Whenever Chicago attempts any- | thing, from a riot to a strike, there may be an absolute reliance that it will be desperate. | ;PRESIDENT WHEELER'S ADDRESS. | quence. He might have marshaled with the words concerning ideals of art and science and phil- osophy into sonorous phrases and massive sentences and yet have achieved less in the way of affecting the understanding, the imaginations and the hearts of men than he did by an address so simple as to hardly seem skillful at all, and yet so full of the truest wis- | people of California with as much delight as it was listened to by-the students. | The central thought of the address is that a univer- “Sil) is not a thing of statutes, reports, buildings, mechanisms and observances, but a living organism, | an association of men and women. ‘“From this | real and living association, because I am joined in | association with men. The only thing that is of in- terest to me in a university is men and women. As long as I live I trust I may never be interested in a university of méchanisms, reports and paper, but only in a university of human beings.” For a moment the president, under the inspiration of the scene and the occasion, indulged the glow of poetry and of prophecy. *“This,” said he, “is a stim- ulating sight. This golden sunshine coming down in genial, lazy haze, smiling upon the ripened brown of these magnificent hills, remind me of my beloved Greece. It is more than Hellas that we have here. | Greece looked out toward the old oriental world; Berkeley looks out through the Golden Gate toward | the oriental world that has meaning for to-day.” From the alluring theme set forth in that picture | of the university and the far-reaching world and life that stretches out from it over the ocean and through | future ages the orator turned to the more important subject of the university itself. Concerning that he said: “This university is a living thing; the real university is alive. Blood pulses through its veins The spiritual life of the men who have gone before is in it. It is not a thing of building, nor of statutes, nor of courses; it is a thing of life. And what you will get out of this university that is worth your while, that will stand by you, is what you will get out of association with it as a living thing. Therefore I say we are not a mechanism for providing people with equipment; we are alive, we have a heart. And to the family life I charge you students of the Univer- sity of California be loyal. - It is worth your while. It is your duty. Be loyal to the university. Be loyal to all its parts. Say that you love it. Those who take the misunderstandings and the quarrels of the inside to ventilate them in the outside world are traitors to us. (Applause) We are a family. You cannot make a university out of minds and brains. In a university, as elsewhere in the world, Dheart is more than heads, and love is more than rea- son. Hold you fast to that love for this university. Stand strong, shoulder to shoulder, when you do its work. Let every man according to his ability do what the university asks of him, and let every man do in support of the other man’s work what he can.” It would be well if the sentiment of those words could find abiding place in the minds of all Califor- nians whether students of the university or not. A State is itself an association of living beings hav- ing mutual interests and aspirations. Loyalty to it should be a part of the mental and moral life of every one of its members. There should be among ail citi- zens that helpfulness and co-operation which are necessary to the speedy realization of the glorious possibilities that lie before it. It is gratifying to have in the high office of presi- dent of the State University a man whose scholar- | ship has not estranged him from symfathy with the common run of men and who does not value learning or culture above the men and women with whom he | has to deal. His influence is certain to be felt far beyond the bounds of Berkeley, and all California will be in some measure benefited by his presence, his in- fluence and his work. | make such Every American who | knows the alphabet knows such a thing is absurd. | | RESIDENT WHEELER'S address to the | ‘ students at Berkeley has the ring of true elo- skill of the ablest rhetorician a multitude of lofty | | dom and sympathy that it will be read by the whole | g PRESIDENT WHEELER j% of the T STHTE UNVERSITY £ THE PLAK OF RADIG THE CALL'S HOME STUDY CIRCLE 1S ADMIRABLE, { | | + o e & ° | |AROUND THE CORRIDORS A.
