Ulster1! Attitude. .
I.on.lon, Dec. 7.-(tfy A. !'.)
I'Uter'i attitude toward the eUh
li.-hmr-nt of the Irislrsfree Mite wa
t'xpcctrd to he dcliued today at a
meeting of Sir Jme CraiR' cahi
net. A copy of the treaty aijr.ed hy
the British and Sinn Fein peace dele
gate reached Belfast yesterday.
It it certain that the treaty wilt
undergo searching examination be
fore receiving the approval of Ulster,
and many modification undoubted
ly will be proposed. Her consent,
however, is not necessary as under
the treaty terms she is given the op
tion of retaining her present tutu,
after revision of her boundaries by a
commission.
De Valera, Silent.
1 Favorable action hy the Dail
Iiireann is thought to be fairly well
assured, and that of the Imperial
Parliament which has been sum
moned to meet December H, is a
foregone conclusion should the Dail
approve the treaty.
It is pointed out, however, that
nobody has yet drawn from F'amon
De Valera, Irish republican leader, a
statement as to his attitude toward
the plan.
In some quarters it is .said that
the attitude of the Irish extremists
is causing anxiety to the delegates
"Abject Humiliation."
The only opposing voice of conse
quence thus far is that of .Sir Edward
Carson, former Ulster leader, who is
quoted by the Morning Post as de
claring: "I never thought that I
should live to see a day of such
abject humiliation for Great Britain."
-The -Westminster Gazette ex.
presses the opinion that the Irish
republicans now in internment may
be given amnesty immediately. The
old rumor is revived that one of
the king's sons may be appointed
the first governor general of Ireland
Michael Collins, who had planned
to go to Dublin, changed his mind
and remained here with Mr. Griffith
and his other fcolleagues. Eamon
De Valera so tar 'has declined to
comment,
Arthur Henderson, labor leader,
says that the whole British labor
movement will welcome the settle
ment with joy.
v Irish Comment.
Dublin, Dec. 7. The Freemans
Journal yesterday said:
"The terms of the agreement show
that our leaders were worthy of the
trust reposed in them. In the articles
of settlement will be found every
essential of freedom for which the
Irish people have fought for seven
long historical centuries.
"A new day dawns. Let the peo
ple of Ireland make it their own."
The Irish Times says "If this
treaty is ratified, if Irishmen of all
Creeds and parties combine and ad
minister it in a spirit of , broad
minded patriotism, if it bridges the
gap .between the north and south if
it reconciles Ireland to the empire,
it will be one of the most glorious
and fruitful achievements of modern
statesmanship; it will givie the ris
ing generation in Ireland scope for
effort and prospects for happiness
their fathers never knew.
The Irish independent is enthusias
tic over the peace agreement. It
says that when the terms are ratified,
as they doubtless will be, all estrange
ments and bitterness between Eng
land and Ireland will be forgotten
and they will prosper side by side.
"Reason triumphed over force,"
says the Cork Examiner.
Ulster's View. v
Belfast, Dec. 7. The Northern
Whig criticises the raising of a de
fense force as full of menace to the
internal peace of Ireland. It also
objects to a tariff arrangement.
"There now apparently is noth
ing," says the newspaper, "to pre
vent a ruinous trade war, the possi
bility of which as recently as July,
Mr. Lloyd George was particularly
anxious to guard against. In its
eagerness to shirk another trial of
strength with the rebels the govern
ment has risked the commercial
prsperity of the kingdom."
Doubt and Mistrust.
Sir James Craig announced to the
House yesterday that the treaty had
been received, but that he had not
read it, and the House adjourned
after transacting routine business.
The general feeling here today was
rather of doubt and distrust
fact that a tired government is try-,
ing to administer the affairs of a
tired people which would sacrifice
nearly everything for peace and
quiet, ,
The Times, declaring that the set
tlement is "one of the greatest
achievements in our imper.al his
tory" says that the proposal, framed
with far sightedness, reduces the
whole problem of Ireland to
manageable proportions.
The Belfast News Letter withholds
judgment.
The Daily News under the caption
"God Save the King," greets the
treaty with enthusiasm.
Lloyd George Congratulated.
Premier Lloyd George Is the. re
cipient of universal congratulations
lor having successfully rescued the
negotiations. The general belief,
however, is that Lord Birkenhead is
responsible for the formula over
:oming the allegiance difficulty.
The signing took place in the his
toric cabinet room, the premier and
Arthur Griffith being the first te
sign, after which all the members
shook hands all around.

Hy Tli Associated Trru.
Washington, Dec. 7. Decided
optimism on results of the arms con
ference was expressed by President
narding today, in two brief ad
dresses, one to a delegation of farm
ers and the other at the annual meet
ing of the American Red Cross.
Speaking to a delegation from the
National Board .of Farm Organiza
tions the National 1-armers union
and affiliated organizations, the presi
dent said:
"This conference will demonstrate
the wisdom of internationally coming
together nations facing each other
and settling problems without resort
to arms."
Later Mr. Harding, in convening
the Ked Cross meeting, declared:
"We are going to succeed beyond
our fondest hopes; it is getting to be
pleasing to be able to say that things
never done before, we can do now."
"I know whereof I speak," he de
clared. "I am just as proud of what the
American Red Cross does as though
I were an intimate 'and .active par
ticipant in all its programs. It is
one of the finest manifestations of
the better side of America that has
ever been shown. I hope with all
my heart that much of the big work
which has been yours in the past will
never be asked of you again. It
will be a wonderful thing for me and
for you to have lived in a period
when we have brought the conscience
o fmankind into an understanding
where we shall have done something
tangible to prevent calling on you
again for war service."
Hospital Head
Welcomes Probe
Superintendent of .Tubercular
Institution Asks Suggestions
f For Improvements.
Kearney, Neb., Dec. 7. (Special.)
When informed that members of
the executive committee of the ,
American Legion would make an j
inspection of the state hospital here,
as regards treatment of ex-service
men quartered there, Dr. J. Sidwell,
superintendent, said.
The publicity levied against treat
ment here of these patients is odi
ous and to a great extent badly dis
torted or entirely in variance wiui
facts," he stated. He expressed the
hope that such a committee, which
will also include an authorized rep
resentative of the Veterans of For
eign Wars, Disabled War Veterans
and other kindred organizations, will
make a thorough investigation, sup
plemented with any recommenda
tions they, might see fit to make
and which, in their opinion, would
make the treatment of disabled sol
diers more efficient. ,..:
The superintendent was not se
verely criticized by his fault finders,
with one exception, that being an
ex-soldier, whose compensation had
been reduced from $100 a month to
$10 a month and who apparently
held this against the hospital. There
were numerous misstatements in re
ports made to Disabled Veterans
of the World War in their session
at Grand Island last Saturday, Dr.
Sidwell asserts. There are only 160
patients at the hospital, its capacity
number, instead of 230. as reported.
Of this number of patients, only 20
are ex-service men.
Referring to $250 a day allowed
by the government for care of these
men. Dr. Sidwell said:
"Why, including the entire federal
and state allowance, the hospital is
not credited with that sum, for op
erating purposes, in a day. It is an
absurd statement, based, undoubt
edly, upon misinformation."

Weaver Talks on
State Problems
In Lincoln Visit
Politicians at Capital Look
Upon Move as "Feeler" Re
fore Announcing Candi
dacy for Goernor.
Lincoln. Dee. 7. (Snccial.WA. J
Weaver of Falls City, president of
the constitutional convention, who is
looked upon as a probable candidate
lor governor in the O. O. V. pri
inane., appeared in Lincoln this
afternoon with his urlp filled with
copies of a speech delivered before
the notary club of his home town
last njght, in which he outlined his
ideas ot handling state problems.
Weaver s action in giving out
copies of his address was looked
upon as a "feeler" of public senti
ment on his Ideas of state govern
nient in advance of his contemplated
announcement as a gubernatorial
candidate. 1 lis plans, as outlined, m
brief, arc:
Direct attention to the fact that 85
per cent of the tax dollar goes into
educational, county, citv and town
ship government and 15 cents to the
state and insfet that the people turn
their eyes to local as well as state
authorities for relief from taxation.
Favors Code Secretaries.
Putting more work on constitu
tional elective officers and where
possible have the governor appoint
them to code secretaryships to cut
down state expense. F.Iectivc state
officers to be governor's cabinet.
Insist upon a continuation of the
McKclvie budget system inaugu
rated by the governor this year.
Continuation of policy of state
capitol commission in building new
state house when peak prices of
Mior and material are dropped.
VVeaver declared that the commis
sion, headed by Governor McKelvie,
had already saved the state $1,500,
000, by holding up letting of con
tracts for new state house until
prices dropped.
Commends work of state sheriff,
hut declares county sheriffs should
do this work and by placing respon
sibility on county sheriffs for en
forcement of prohibition and auto
theft laws cut another slice from
next appropriations for state govern
ment. Curtailment of as much road work
as possible commensurate with pub
lic welfare until Nebraskans recover
from financial depression.
Sell School Lands.
Sale of state owned school lands
as means of lightening tax burden
for educational purposes and giving
the tenant an opportunity to become
a land owner. He said:
"The state owns 1,61,790 aciis of
educational lands, on which the rent
als last year were $355,433.50. These
lands are estimated to be worth on
an average of $20 an acre. If sold
on this basis they would brinsr
$32,635,000 and the interest on this
sum at 5 per cent would amount to
$1,631,790 instead of $355,433.?0 or a
gain of $1,266,347 each year.
In addition to this gam to the
state of $1,266,347 each year, there
would be additional taxes on these
lands which are now exempt from
taxes. This should be $350,000 more
each .year. The sale of educational
lands of the state when completed
should add $1,600,000 a year to the
revenues of the state."
Cut down educational costs to tax
payers by curtailing activities carried
on in the name of public education,
'"'when such activities are not educa
tional, in fact," was another sugges
tion.
Prevent Duplication.
"The next legislature can relieve
the state from the duplication created
at the last session which permits the
normal scnooi to assume college
rank." he declared.
The same careful scrutiny should
obtain as to the activities of the state
university. If duplications exist be
tween the city campus and the agri
cultural college at the state farm, or
in the outstafce stations, these should
be eliminated. .
"Pnhlii- eHnratinn institution's must
accent alt who aDoIv. reerardlcss oLLbors met at his home and husked
whether they are earnest and dili
gent in pursuit of knowledge. It
might be well, therefore, an adoption
pf a system of fees from students
which provides that the fees be grad
uated, based on results attained by
the pupils.
"This would enable the poor yet
earnest student to pursue his studies
without embarrassment or hardship,
and yet permit the state a fair com
pensation for the expense incurred in
maintaining expensive instructors,
space ana equipment for those who
do not live up to opportunities pre
sented, to tljem.
Last, Weaver insisted that the law
remain on the statute book passed by
the legislature which calls for a tax
on intangibles.
