What you’re looking at
This page contains **political commentary and social satire** from an early 20th-century American magazine. **"A Country Gentleman"** attacks Richard Croker, a Tammany Hall political boss, as corrupt and parasitic on honest citizens. **"A Live Vice-President"** praises an unnamed vice-president (likely James Sherman, serving under Theodore Roosevelt around this period) as energetic and competent—a "live" contrast to typically inactive vice-presidents. **"A Great Ticket"** celebrates Roosevelt's convention nomination, depicting widespread public support and comparing him to Lincoln and Fremont as great Republican figures. The bottom comic, **"A Case of Before and After,"** uses the Peascash family to satirize working-class financial desperation—showing how poor families resort to exploitative city trips, leaving them worse off. The overall tone blends partisan Republican celebration with class-based social criticism.

When murder commands a price like that the period of prosperity must be at hand. A COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. HE EDITOR of the London Exfress says Richard Croker is “a pontiff of political jobbery, whose very existence constitutes the blackest blot that ever rest ‘ed upon a supposed civilized and intelligent com- munity,” and adds with indignant astonishment, “And such is the person to whom we extend the privilege of domicile and who poses as a country gentleman in Berkshire.” Mr. Croker has a habit of paying his taxes and other expenses and of be- having himself outwardly pretty well; so it is impos- sible to see how the Express is going to punish him. ¥ 2 ~ A LIVE VICE-PRESIDENT. 'WENTY YEARS AGO Theodore Roosevelt led his party in the assembly of this state, and a very lively leader he was. Not long since he was a police commissioner in this city and led the com- mission and attracted more attention by good and lively work than the other commissioners together. Still later he was assistant secretary of the navy, and as such was thor- oughly known in naval circles and by the country at large. The break- ing out of the Spanish war saw him in the field as the leader of the rough riders, and next to the president he is to-day the best-known man in the country, and the most popular as well. Such a man as that is not likely to be buried by the vice-presidency. He will make the office—it cannot make him or belittle him. Without any particular desire to be conspicu- ous, he is active and tireless in good work, and his ability keeps him at the front. He will bring honor to the great office to which he will be elected, and at the end of his term will be better known and brighter and abler than ever before. That is the kind of man he is. A GREAT TICKET. QUT OF THE MILLIONS of people of this country there are just two that the majority want for their two chief offices, and they will have those two and no others. The fight over Governor Roosevelt in the con- vention, in which no one opposed him but himself, was stubborn and-de- termined, and was typical of the greater struggle that now ensues between the Republicans and their Democratic opponents, many of the latter of whom will not oppose him even on partisan grounds, so thoroughly has he the respect and admiration of the people regardless of partisan lines. And there was not an opponent of the president in the great convention. His thorough honesty and patriotism, his courage in behalf of progress, his wisdom in emergencies, gave him the call to further duty, and not a voice was lifted against him, not a whisper was spoken to his detriment, It is a great ticket. It is a great platform of principles, with the courage of conviction conspicuous in every line of it. It was a convention worthy of the magnificent bodies of men that nominated John C. Fremont and twice nominated Abraham Lincoln, 29> aS Ih 75 amd 4 Das / hl My Mm, Why me » hh Pe) TN i 4 \y, My fl hy, ty hyp I x Ths “vn ada, Millan fi (ine 7 4 fe dy A CASE OF “BEFORE AND AFTER.” ‘This is Ezra Peapatch and his wife at the beginning of the summer season, before they took a city famiiy of seven to board.
