The Laughter Of MiIlionaires.

"MilliOnaires who laugh are rare,
says Andrew Carnegie in an English
interview. and his remark is being
made the :ext of various homilies on
both sides Of the water. II is probable
that the man who rose from mes
scnger DOy To the possession of some
| 5000. .000.0 or more did not mean to
be taken literally any more than he
did when he startled the world by de-
caring that it is Il sin to die rich. Still,
Mr.. Carnegie ought to know what he
Is talking about, as he has been null
tinillionaire for many years, and has
been closely associated with many men
of great wealth.
The process of pilinS up millions is.
of course. hardening one for the
nan who does it. He has little time
for laughter. to begin with, and he
learns to cloak his emotions. The
mere possession Of wealth with all the
opportunities for good which money
implies, should not make the owner
unhappy. but the trouble with most
Inillionaires is that they think too
little about the good they can do with
their money and spend their time in
fighting to get more or to keep what they
have. II they would have plenty OF
happiness. and consequently plenty of
laughter, they should devote more
time to making other happy and
spending the money which they al
ready have.
While the process Of becoming n mil
liCnaire does not encourage the cxer-
else Of the laughter muscles. yet the
muscles are there just the same Prob
ably In their homes or among their
| chosen cronies, the richest of our ric:l
men do more laughing than inc outsid..
world realizes. Anyway. they mast oc :
OCCASIONALLY indulge i'm smile or 4
Chuckle. OF course. it is not the whole
sore kind of laughter which the small
| hoy indulseS i'll at the antics of the
clown at the circus. but it is laughter
reverthel"se. Mr.. Carnegie might
have said with equal truth that tha
poor men who laugh are rare and from
the utterance an equal number of good
sermons could have been preached.
Laughter is as scarce among the very
rich as among the very poor though
occasionally they both laugh. But
neither can laugh as often or as honest
iy as the man with enough, but not
too much money

The Crushing of the Moro Outlaws.

The Crushing cf the Moro Outlaws.
The critics of the administration.
and especially the survivors of that
little band of anti-imperialists. are
making the most of the opportunity
afforded them by the determination OF
those Moro outlaws in their stronghold
on the island of Jolo. These crltlcs'
" no have busted themselves for nearly
decade in firing upon the American
army from the rear whenever an op-
portunity presented itself, are trying
| to make the American people believe
that our troops have committed an uh-
warranted and bloodthirsty butchery
OF innocent and inoffensive natives.
AS a matter of fact, the Moros, VINO
we're pursued to their refuge on the ex-
tinct crater on Mount Dajo and put 70
death to the last man because in their
fanaticism they would accept no quar-
ter, were savage outlaws of the most
dangerous and desperate type. They
were just as much the enemies of the
Filipinos as Of the Americans. Their
hand was against the peaceful natives
Of the island as well as against the
wearers of the American army uniform.
They were q body of predatory muir
derers and savages, and their suppress
sion was a necessary act of kindness to
the masses of the natives in the
islands.
There can be no argument on the
extinction Of such outlawry as these
Moros represented. Their punishment
was drastic, but any half way meas
ures would have been a failure. For
generations they have defied the Span
ish, and our soldiers did something for
whicn they cannot be too highly COM
mended in routing out these brigands
and ridding the islands of their pres
ence. There was no unnecessary
butchery; we may be sure of that.
These bandits have made murder the
business Of their lives. and when they
were cornered they simply made a
fight to the finish. Their bravery was
of the kind which is fanaticism. and
hardly to be compared with the type
shown by the American soldiers who
followed them through SO many diff
culties to their mountain lair Such
bloody experiences have not been un-
known in the West in the days Of In
dian warfare. The duty which faced
our soldiers in the Philippines was that
which has frequently faced them on
our Western plains and it was met in
the same American spirit.

Not only is there to be no internal

also said that the outlook is very poor
for Il race in 1907. Sir Thomas Upton

lift it. Isn't there some other rich
yachtsman on the other side Of the
