CROKER'S PLAIN TALK
Former Views of the Tammany
Leader on Expansion.
when No Election Was Pending He
Talked in Favor of Holding
What We Have-Said 1O
TO Was Dead.

When no elections are pending such
astute politicians as Richard Croker,
the Tammany leader. will sometimes
give EXPIRE ssion 10 their real views on
pubic ques ions. Mr.. Croker. under
date of January G. 1899, contributed a
signed communication to the New
York Journal, Mr.. Hearst's New York
organ, which, by the way, is saying
nothing against expansion in this cam
paign.
Mr.. Cookers views, in part follow:
81 believe in expansions believe in hold
Ing whatever possessions we have gained
by annexation, purchase or war.
This policy is not only patriotic, but
II is the only safe one TO pursue. Any other
policy would show weakness on the part
of the United States. and invite foreign
complications. This must be avoided:
hence our policy must be vigorous.
Every patriotic American and every
democrat in particular should favor ex-
pansion.
Jefferson was an expansionist, other
wise he would not have favored the ac-
QUESTION Of Louisiana with its foreign
population, which In Jefferson's time was
quite as remote as the Philippines. In this
age of steam ard electricity, distance Is
no argument against expansion.
i say by all means hold on to all that
rtghtfully belongs TO us. If the great coun-
try west OF the Rocky mountains was filled
with wild Indians at the present moment,
how long would IL take US TO suppress
them and make them respect our laws
and our constitution? The same thing APP
piles TO the Philippines and any other
country that may 1aIl into our hands by
the provinces OF peace or war. 1t is an
insult to the American people and to our
nag even to suggest that we abandon the
people we have released from bondage, or,
what would be more disgraceful, that we
sell them to the highest bidder. Such
proposition places the American people
In the same category with the Chinese,
who have neither patriotism nor a for
eign policy, and are in consequence used
as door mat by the powers of the world.
Il think the 10 10 ! question as outlined
In the Chicago platform "A decidedly dead
issue. This was July demonstrated at the
last election. We did not embcdy the l6
TO question in our (state) Platform, and
the result was that we elected every one
of our congressman"
Mr.. Croker is an ultra expansion
list and although he is supporting Mr..
Bryan tor local reasons no doubt, the
fact still stays that he considers i6 to
l dead issue in New York. lie is
only too ready to drop it.

Among the Magazines.

A new magazine of high class has Just
come out in New York, published by
Doubleday, Page & Co. The November
number is the first. II the initial num-
Der is a criterion by which to judge the
future, "The Worlds Work" will be a
distinct and valuable addition to the
magazine literature of the day. % cents
a number, So year.
More than 90 million copies-to be
exact, 81, 237, 523-of The Ladies' Home
Journal have been issued since the mag
azine was first printed, II years ago.
December, 1883, was the Journals birth
month, and the first edition aggregated,
all told, 10000. The magazine was well
received at the very start, and from that
time on its growth has been phenom-
enally rapid, the increase never hating,
until the circulation has reached $4,000
copies a month. During the past IL
months the increase has averaged 1900
copies per month over the corresponding
interval of last year.
The Curtis Publishing company bought
The Saturday Evening Post because it
believed that the public which demands
its newspaper twice day, would want a
popular literary magazine once a week,
provided it adjusted itself to the new
conditions and rightly gagged the de-
mand of the twentieth century And
that demand, it felt, would be for mag
azine of the best quality that money and
brains could make, sold at as low price
as modern machinery and methods could
produce. To improve the quality and
at the same time lower the price of a
publication, two things are necessary-a
great circulation and the best machinery
that human ingenuity can devise. The
first has been achieved, for The Saturday
Evening Post has a weekly circulation
of quarter of million, and new sub
scriptions are coming in at the rate of
thousand day. Again, its ten new
presses have just been installed in its
new eight story building, which, together
with its old facilities, give it the largest
and most complete periodical plant in
the world.

scribed by Henry Norman in his series

ical key to the far East and Mr.. Norman

should there be law exempting the

their honest and just debts.
The idea of our civic civilization be-

ridiculous in the extreme. Think of
the unfairness in law screening a

and on the other hand declaring the

that this bread may be taken from
