Pride Goeth Before Destruction
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Cautionary Tale of Political Hubris from Puck Magazine, 1900 In this thought-provoking illustration from the August 1, 1900, issue of Puck Magazine, the proverb "Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18) comes to life. The image depicts Richard Croker, the powerful boss of New York City's Tammany Hall political machine, represented as an inflated hot air balloon. His medallion bears the image of the Tammany Tiger and a laurel wreath with a ribbon labeled "Kansas City Convention," alluding to the recent Democratic National Convention where Croker wielded significant influence. Meanwhile, David B. Hill, the Governor of New York State, is shown running up behind Croker with a spear labeled "NY State Democracy." The implication is clear: Pride has made Croker vulnerable to being brought down by the very forces he once controlled. This powerful and prescient cartoon, published just a few months before Croker's political downfall, serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked pride and the fleeting nature of power. The illustration, with its biblical reference and clever use of symbolism, is a testament to the enduring relevance of Proverbs 16:18 and the insightful commentary provided by Puck Magazine.
