THE OPTIMIsT.


What are the things that make for the
greatest Joy In life?" a correspondent
asks The Optimist. I would not that my
answer be taken as dogmatic, but 50 far
as some experience Of life goes. ! fain
would reply-love and toll. Both, need
hardly say, are 20 be regarded from the
optimistic viewpoint
Love is such an all-embracIng word. It
means so many things to 50 many men.
There is love OF man for maid--one OF the
most powerful influences for good. or evil,
that the world knows; there Is the love
Of man for man, which is usually with
out taint or I'll; there Is love between
mother and child-one OF the purest gems
ia all the dark valley OF life But the
finest thing about II is that all love. no
matter what its sort. has to have an OBJ
ject. No real egotist can be a lover. As
Schiller says;
"Egotism erecis its center in itself: love places
out Of itself Ia the axis Of The universal Whole.
Love AIMS at unity. eRotism al solitude. Love IS
the citizen rule Of f0uTshing republic eg0tism is
despot IN devastated creation. Egotism SONS for
gratitude lore for the ungratsful Love gives ego
judicial truth. Indifferent FOR the enjoyment Of the
following moment. or with view 10 the martyrs
croWn-indineent whether the reward is in this lie
oF the next"
And the same sort Of enemy to egotism
is toll. If a man goes about his work in
the right spirit. Work for the work $
sake is surely fine thing work for the
wages sake is but indifferent labor; but
work for loves sake is the best Of all
Theodore Parker had It right when he
said:
A man does not toll for himself alone but for
those dearest 10 his heart this FOR his father that

Things base and vile. holding no quality.
Love can transp0se to form and dignity.
Love locks not with the eyes, but with the mind:
And therefore is winged Cupid painted sind
Nor hath Loves mind or any judgment taste;
Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste;
And therefore is Love said 10 be a child
Because in choice he is 50 of beEuiled."
And work-"Work is the grand cure for
all the maladies and miseries that over
oeset mankind-honest work. which you
intend getting done" Thus It IS that
Shakespeare and Carlyle declare them
selves on love and toll. To these things
add optimism, which means, bright. rea-
sonable, and eager hope, and you have
all the ingredients for such happiness as
the angels well might envy.
In love and toll man finds his truest
worship Both tend toward a high ideal.
and both cali-if they are to be enjoyed
and used-for all that Is best and strong
est and most noble in the soul OF man.
But II is that way real Joy and happiness
lie in the exhaustion that comes from
great endeavor. in striving to live so
as TO be really worthy OF love: In striv-
ing in iotl, so that the work shall be we'll

The people Of the United States do
not desire. Of course, that the policies
OF their government should be adapted
to the exigencies Of the stock market.
At the same time they are justified in
demanding that these policies shall be
such as will safeguard the interests Of
the people. The antitrust laws Of the
United States ought 10 be enforced as
much for the protection Of the public,
and Of assuring practical benefits to the
people, as for the punishment of law
breakers. If these results are not ac-
complished by the President and the

ton of President Roosevelt must accept
a very grave responsibility.

Editor Hemphin for the Senate.

There is growing movement in South
Carolina 10 elect Mai. J. c. Hempiln 10
the United States Senate to suceeed A.
c. Latimer. II is said that Mai Hemp
hill shows no very ardent desire for the
honor, but that his Democratic admirers
are vigorously pushing his candidacy.
Mai Hemphill, as editor of the Charles
ton News and Courier, has long welded
a powerful influence in the public affairs
of his State but he has never sought or
held any public Office. A Democrat of
the old school, he has not been in sym
pathy with some Of the vagaries Of his
party in recent years. Maj Hemphill
was a most bitter opponent of Senator
Tiilman in the factional feuds In the
State. Many South Carolina Democrats
believe that they would strengthen their
organization and crafty the rank apd
file of the party by sending a man like
Maj Hemphill to Washington.

Villafuerte (death)

Two more lads were arrested yes
terday in connection with the footing
of brass and other metals along the
waterfront unearthed by Officer
Reeves. These two lads were David
,Kauelo, about seventeen or eighteen
years of age, believed to be the ring
leader of the gang, and Nick Kanikou.
The two boys stole a horse and buggy
from somewhere, they say from in
front of the skating rink on Queen
street, and drove over to Waimanalo.
They started on Thursday. They were
unprecedented there yesterday and Dep
uty United States Marshal Winter
went over in an automobile to bring
them back. He was accompanied by

Filipino Leaders Who
Ordered Torture
for Prisoners.
Montalan (death)

Death by hanging for four bandit
leaders, Imprisonment for thirty years
for another and for twenty years for
five others, are the sentences passed
in Manila by the Supreme Court on
July 25 on the surrendered leaders who
for so long terrorized Cavite, Batan-
gas and adjacent provinces. These
bandits, through their lawyers, plead
ed for clemency from the fact that
they surrendered voluntarily to the
American authorities, but it was
pointed out by Chief Justice Johnson
that such surrender was only on the
guarantee that they would not be inn
mediately shot but would be given a
fair and impartial trial.
In answer to a further plea that
what acts they had committed mad
been from patriotic motives and in de-
tense of the rights of the people or
their country, the Justice read a series
of letters, put in as evidence against
them, showing the cruelty practised
and ordered to be carried out by them
in their revolt. One of the letters was:
"Senor Pho del Pillar, Major General.
Upon receipt of this order, please
comply with the same and direct the
troops to enter the town of Teresa
and carry out the following:

CONSUL FORSTER
A HEAVY LOSER
His Household Goods Burned
With Official Papers in
Hak0date Fire.

Ralph 6. E. Forster, III. B. Ms act
ing consul at Honolulu and the regular
vice consul at Hakodate, Japan, lost all
his household furniture, pictures, curios,
furs. his commission from King Edward
as H. M. g vice consul, and private
papers innumerable, by the burning of
the British consulate at Hakodate on
the night preceding August 20. While
Mr.. Forster is financially protected by
insurance, yet it need not be said that
such loss as he has sustained is largely
irreparable.
This is the third time the British con-
sulate at Hakodate has been burned
down, necessitating the obtaining OF
copies of all official correspondence adj
dressed to, and received from, cores
pondents throughout the world. The
consulate is surrounded by wide roads
on three sides of its grounds. On the
eastern side there are japanese houses
at distance of some fifty yards, and
Mr.. Forster said to an Advertiser re-
porter yesterday that he could only
suppose that violent easterly wind,
known in Hakodate as the ''yamase, =
drove the flames before it with such
speed as to make any preventive meas
ures impossible. The American con-
sulate, that escaped the confagration,
is on a hill at least $50 feet above the
level of the other houses occupied by
foreign residents, and to its elevation
Mr.. Forster ascribes its immunity from
the fire. He gave the reporter clip
pings from Japan papers with accounts
of the Hakodate fire and of disastrous
flood, which are here reprinted:
TOXIC, Aug. 26.-Flre broke out at
Higashi Kawa-machi; Hakodate, at
1925 'clock last night. Famed by the
strong wind that was prevailing at the
time the flames spread furiously and
20 per cent of the town was burnt
down. 1t was only at s O'Clock this
morning that the fire was subdued.
Among the buildings destroyed are
the foreign consulates Except the
American), the postoffice, the marine
office, the Hakodate branch of the Hok-
kaido government office, the police sta
ton, the regimental headquarters, the
N. Y. K. godowns, the Hakodate branch
of the Bank of Japan, the Hakodate
hospital, other banks, etc. Five post
boxes and seventy packages of parcel
post were reduced to ashes, together
with the postofice.
FURTHER DETAILS.
YOKOHAMA, Aug. 26.-The Japan
Gazette gives the following additional
details of the Hakodate fire:
From the American consulate general
we learn that the consul general of Yo-
kohama, II. B. Miller, who was up at
Hakodate, is quite safe. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bagnall, who arrived there the night
before the fire, as well as all Americans,
are safe.
The American consul of Hakodate, E.
j. King, telegraphs through Aomorl
(whither he had thoughtfully despatch
ed Mr. German, well known in Yoko-
hama. by boat, Immediately on the
satastrorne) as follows:-" Hakodate

buildings, Russian and British consul
