each of which met a draft of $40
monthly; great companies suing for
favor and about q thousand small
concerns and private persons con-
tributing no less than $1,000, 900.
Charges for appointment on the po-
lice force ranged from $500 for pa
trolman TO $4,000 for the making of
captain.
Day after day, month after month,
year after year, the newspapers and
magazines exposed Cookers misdeeds
and held him up to public scorn
Searching denunciations which would
have driven another man to murder,
never for a moment moved Croker to
any show of anger. He went his
calm way untouched by any &C these
things Unmoved by the denuncia-
lions of the entire world. unscathed

He faced the world, the
personiication of graft triumphant,
stood with his hands in his pockets
idly whistling through his teeth while
his fellows pelted him with epithets,
and when they stopped for breath,
shrugged his shoulders and asked in
soieatly: 'Well-but what are you

Fate, biding her time, has stricken
him sorely. Whatever else Richard
Croker was, he was a good father
He loved his children, and he was in
tensely proud of them. They loved
him. and they were children that any
father might be proud Of Yet three
times within the present year of

the blow has fallen. And the former
ruler Of Tammany. who three years
ago voluntarily abdicated, apparently
in the heyday of his strength, who
exchanged the powers of a city boss
for the pleasures of country squire,
is today a weary. broken old man,
ending his days on the other side the
miilpond in loneliness and sorrow.
Representative Timothy D. Sulli-

those "in the know as Croker's real
successor in Tammany Hall, though
another and smaller man nominally
rattles around in the seat of the boss,

is no man less likely to attract atten-
ton at first glance or more likely to
hold it at second.
He has been the most fearless and
hardest working member of the po-
litical organizations to which he be-
longed. Courage and fearlessness of
the truest bulldog type have always
been his characteristics. Probably no
man alive has taken more singing
blows from tongue and pen than he.
And he has never WINGED He has
stood abuse and utilization for years.
He has never weakened, never an
swered. Here is DR.. Parkhurst's vale
dictory from his pulpit in 1901, when
Croker first went TO England to take
up his residence in Moat House:
Il cannot understand how it was
that that foul bishop of all inevitable
abomination who rules this municipal
diocese from his prelatical castle
abroad can even breathe the atmos-
phere of Vantage, the town in which
the great Alfred was born, without
feeling his soul scorched by the very
memories that still linger there from
the old days In view Of the princi-
pies upon which God has constructed
a town dominated by a man notori-
ously a vulgar unimprisoned repro
bate and not be distinctly tainted BY
the contagion."
Mark Twain's Impeachment of the
Boss.
To be sure the good doctor was ever
something of ranter, rather given
to singing language around ''promis-
cuous like" But Mark Twain. than
whom no kindlier, more tolerant soul
breathes, paraphrased in a public ad-
dress the famous speech of Edmund
Burke in the House of Commons
when Warren Hastings was placed
on trial:
Il impeach Richard Croker of high
crimes and misdemeanors. impeach
him in the name of the people, whose
trust he has betrayed | impeach him
in the name of all the people of Amer
lea whose national character he has
dishonored- l impeach him in the
name and by virtue of these eternals
laws of justice which he has violated.
| impeach him in the name of human
nature itself. which he has cruelty
outraged, injured and oppressed, in
both sexes, in every age. rank, situa-
ton, and condition of life"
And most remarkable of all. there
are the two biographies written by
Alfred Henry Lewis, the one Rich
J ard Croker" the other The Boss. u
The first was the cleverest, most mad
dening twisting of facts ever printed
The second, generally regarded as an
inside" story OF Tammany Halls
machine politics under the Croker
regime, is a yitriolic fore and aft rak-
Lewis facts and figures are authentic
He points out that the whole annual
expenses of the community were
roughly SIZE, GOO, of which S20,.
100000 went for official salaries
$40, 900, Goo for supplies called for by
public needs. the balance of $50, 000,-
600 representing contracts for paving
building and the like.
Against the $40 200, 900 for salaries
the machine assessed an annual
private" 9 per cent, and two-thirds
OF the $1,000, 600 accruing therefron
found direct way to the district lead

The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-01-18
Fine Graft for Somebody

Another official white elephant is about to be foised
onto the unsuspecting taxpayers of this state.
Senator NJ. E. Stansel, of Stevens county, has sub
mltted bill creating the office of state oil Inspector
The Press does not deny that such office may be
necessary to the future welfare of Washington.
But
1t does not advocate any bill such is proposed by
the gentleman from Stevens county, which bill provides
that the oil inspector be remunerated by fees.
lnasmuch as the oil inspectors Office will get IS per
cent of every dollar collected from the people, and the
state but 25 per cent it looks if there nigger in
the woodpile" somewhere
Just take hurried glance at this bill of Senator Stan
sell and then you will understand why it should be de-
feated.
provides that the governor appoint state oil in
spector whose term OF office shall be four years The
spector is to have numerous deputies under him.
This new department will make levies oil on the
following basis 40 cents per barrel for first two barrels
30 cents for next three 20 cents for next ve Is cents for
next TO- OF not less than so gallons EACH and et Of
cent every gallon thereafter inspected for each person.
On carloads the collection" will be oneffth of cent
each gallon.
Each deputy is to pay the state inspector % per cent
of the amount he collects and retain rs per cent.
The state oil inspector will receive % per cent Of all
moneys he receives for personal Inspections and 25 per
cent of the fees raked in by his deputies.
Consider the huge income for the inspector and his
deputies Is not this state pretty young have attached
to it such a vampire9
The state of Minnesota had it's case of 'oinspector-
it's and finally forced to submit to operation.
Fred c. Schitfman, who Minnesota s oil Inspector is
said to have cleaned fortune through his fees and
conspicuous his fat earnings that law passed by
which the state oil inspector placed salary and
his fees went directly to the state treasury.
If Washington must have such office, then let Sen
aor Sansel redraft his BILL making it read that the po-
stons will be sared and let the state get the rake
Off,
