WE ANDOUR NEIGH3ORS

publlehed sketch OF Mrs. Bryan on
the front page, with four ugly cuts,
among which was one OF pair Of shoes
with the information under it that they
were Mrs. Bryans. A friend asked
Mrs. Bryan about the World article and
she smiled and replied that she thought
aLy one who knew her would know that
those were not her shoes. as she never
wore high. button, thick soled shoes like
those. Winter and summer. Mrs. Bryan
wears low shoes because OF sensitive
ankle, which cannot bear the pressure
Of q boot. Not that il matters. 1t IL
illustrates. however. the INSCRIPTIONS
character Of the Worlds policy. A per
sonage, masculine or feminine, is unable
to keep the picture Of himself or any Of
his personal and most private property
out OF it's pages. AS in Mrs. Bryan's
case, il the permission is refused, the
photographers employed by the paper
take picture OF any old thing and label
il whatever the exhibitor requires.
The colored pictures by Outcault OF
the celebrations in Hogan's alley are
truly funny, and because the Sunday
edition has more pictures for five cents
than any other publication in the
United States the Sunday issue has
probobly the largest sale OF any paper
in the country. The people dearly love
pictures. aud With good reason, first
and most important OF which is the
shortness OF life. A good cartoon teaches
q great truth and teaches it impress
sively in one thousandth fraction Of the
time that it would take letter press
to announce. adduce and prove the
same thing. A good cartoon is like one
of Mr.. Bryan's speeches: it assumes
certain things and the deductions are
unassailable.
McCrtcheon, the cartoonist on the
Chicago Record. is at the present time
quoted and copied more than any other
artist-east or west. The Sunday edi-
tons Of newspapers print a reduced
summary of the best cartoons of the
week in all parts OF the United States.
The New York and San Francisco pa
pers for months past have had one OF
McCutcheon's cartoons for the centre
and three or four from his pen sur
rounding. His wise fun is characterized
by point. originality and fairness. Moth
ing like the coarse and repulsive pic
lures labelled Mark Hanna" that
ought to disqualify cartoonist from
further work, can be ascrIbed to the ar
fists Of the new and respectable school.
Undoubtedly, Mast did good work for
purity in politics. but it is far cry
from the best caricature OF the day to
Nasts work-and in his day he was the
best and justly made more Of a reputa.
ton than those who have succeeded and
surpassed him. The pictures OF Mark
Hanna. just referred to. strongly resem-
bic Nast's pictures Of Tweed. and owe
their vogue to the effect that Nast's
drawings accomplished rather than TO
any merit Of their own. Nast's Tweed
was a machine man with check suit
on. in each check dollar sign, puffy,
fiabby cheeks, and a small head. an al
dermanic stomach and a generally over
fed. pursey look The man armed with
q weapon mightier than the sword is
Mark Hanna. with this Nasty
likeness that hurts the paper that per-
mits more than the victim.
II modern journalism were fairly rep
resented by the best selling paper in
