This cartoon satirizes Andrew Carnegie's philanthropic claims. The central figure—a large, rotund man labeled "Carnegie"—sits contentedly while small figures around him work. The caption references Mrs. Johnson saying "I asked did she such a small chile—dead I didn't. Hair's no white chile cher" and notes Carnegie has made money "at the expense of his workpeople." The satire's point: Carnegie publicly positions himself as generous to the working class, but the cartoon suggests his wealth accumulated through exploiting laborers. The text accompanying it explicitly critiques his claiming moral authority on economic matters while the text notes he's "out of place" offering advice to nations—his philanthropy is presented as guilt-driven rather than genuinely altruistic.

WHAT'S THE USE OF COLLEGES? [It IS HEAD-LINED in the newspapers that the president of a big National Bank in New York City, who is a boy wonder, only thirty- , three years old, has“ Pushed His Way Up Unaided by a University.” Out of forty absconding cashiers and other bank officials, who within the past ten years have cleaned out their respective institutions in sums ranging from two hundred thousand to two million dollars—and some of them haven't been caught yet—only two were college men. A SUCCESSFUL JOLLY. GENERAL J. C. BATES, commander of the Department of Southern Luzon, Philippine Islands, who has just secured amicably from the Sultan of Jolo more concessions than the Spanish were able to get by any means in three centuries, says: “I found his people to be very much like our native Indians, and it seemed to me that it would be better to get them in an amicable mood than to go in for an Indian war. General Otis put ten thousand dollars in silver at my disposal, and after they had given all the concessions that our Government wished I made a few presents.” In other words, when you are in Jolo you must do as the jolliers do.

We a all know that Mr. Car- negie knows how to accumulate money at the expense of his workpeople; but that SS SSS him by many less es timable persons than himself. We know also that he has displayed great generosity in restor- ing to his workpeople some of the money he had made out of the toil of their hands and brains. But neither of these achievements specially quali- fies him to advise the British nation how to manage their own affairs.” The idea! of writing about Andrew Carnegie as if he were a common, everyday millionaire ironmaster., SENATOR BEVERIDGE’S CARTOON. THE HON. ALBERT J. BEVERIDGE, the junior U. S, Senator from Indiana, has fulfilled his promise of a cartoon suggestion for JUDGE, and the result embellishes our front page of this number. It is a simple and effective setting forth of the proposition that Uncle Sam, whilst an- gling in the waters of the world’s commerce, may as well go in for the big- gest fish that swim there. Coming from Senator Beveridge, this idea has special significance. He is the typical young American statesman of the dawning century. He knows about expansion in its broadest, and impe- riahsm in its best, sense. Others perhaps know more, but they know too many things that are not so. Senator Beveridge makes it his business to learn; and to that end he is even now setting out on a semi-official tour of observation around the world, via the Trans-Siberian Railroad, China and the Philippines. Upon his return he should have an unrivaled fund of information with which to back up the National policy foreshadowed in his JUDGE. cartoon. comicbooks.com
