Vandiver of Missouri has done valu-
able work for the American people
in presenting in conoisely tabulat-
ed form the ltemized record of the
gigantic bills of expenses run up by
the Mckinley imperial administra-
ton in the form of the necessary"
cost of the various imperial COM
missions appointed during the past
two years.
1t will be we'll for the general
public to study the showing made
by Congressman Vandiver with
especial appreciation of its signifi-
cance as bearing on the trend of the
republican party away from the
standards of republican simplicity
which once prevailed in our govern
ment. Beginning with the First
Philippine Commission, costing
American Taxpayers the sum of
$4,000 with the Second Philippine
Commission, reaching a total of
$1l7,500, and then running down
through a long list of more or less
costly commissions of divers and sun.
dry kinds, the showing is stagger.
ing in its completeness.
1t is, in fact, truly imperial. 1t
marks the first lesson taught the
American people ina new field. 1t
proves that Empire is costly, that
you can't have the glitter and the
pageant without paying for it. 1t is
only beginning, of course, but 1t is
a fairly lavish beginning. We have
never had anything like it in the
past. There will be much more of
its kind, and on far bigger scale,
IN the future if we decide on going
into the Empire business. Do we
want any Empire IN ours?
