What will be the real issue in the next presidential campaign? bome say 

 the tariff; others say the trusts. Both are right, but even more important 

 than these will be our colonial policy. Every American knows that we must 

 face the questions raised by the Philippines and Cuba. They have already 

 involved us in one war. Will they involve us in another? 

 THE WORLD TO-DAY for 1908 will not neglect the trusts and the tariff, but it 

 believes that the time has come for a broad and intelligent discussion of 



OUR COLONIAL EMPIRE 



During the coming year we shall publish as a leading feature two groups of articles on 

 important need. One, comprising seven articles, will be descriptive, and will describe the 

 resources and opportunities offered America in the 



PHIUPPINES 

 HAWAII 



CUBA 

 PORTO RICO 



PANAMA 

 ALASKA 



The amount of information at our disposal, the new photographs we shall reproduce, and 

 the interest in the subjects themselves, will make this series one of the most readable and fasci- 

 nating ever published in any magazine. The contributors are recognized authorities. Another 

 group of articles will deal with the problems which these possessions raise. They will consist 

 of five discussions by some of the most prominent men in America of the following subjects:

Can the United States Afford to Have Colonies? 

 Can the United States Defend Its Colonies? 



Can the United States Administer Its Colonies? 

 Can the United States Americanize Its Colonies? 

 How Could the United States Give Up Its Colonies?

THE PHILIPPINES 



By HAMILTON M. WRIGHT, Author of "A Handbook of the Philippines^' 



Mr. Wright is one of the best known authorities on the Philippines and the article will be 

 fully illustrated in colors from new photographs taken by him especially for the purpose 



CARTOONS IN COLOR 



Another striking and novel feature of THE WORLD TO-DAY for 1908 will 

 be a series of Cartoons in Color by the well-known artist, G, C. Widney. They 

 are not caricatures, nor personal, nor partisan, but real works of art — "Edi- j^ t^ -t ^- 

 torials in Color," on great themes of current interest. y^"*^ a^P \^ <v\ 



These are but two of the many strong features that give THE WORLD-TO- 

 DAY an individuality of its own. THE WORLD TO-DAY is a world review, 

 but not a lifeless record of events. The reader will find in it illuminating and 

 fascinating discussions of living events and living people. No matter how 

 many magazines you take, it is different from them all.
