1t Is promised that the current session
OF the New York legislature will be made
interesting by renewal of the agitation
for passage of the Ellsworth anti-cartoon
bill. which attracted much attention and
jocular comment last year. 1t is Sem
ator Ellsworth's purpose to prevent the
publication Of portraits without the con-
sent OF the originals. The incentive for
the enactment Of the prohibitive statute
Is found in the outrageous invasion Of
the privacy OF citizens. especially women.
by the yellow journals. TO the extent
that the law might protect these persons
from unsought and offensive publicity.
the law would doubtless be a good thing;
but It appears TO be designed also to
give politicians and public men a weapon
of defense against the newspapers. In
that particular 1t Is a bad thing. II the
politician Is libeled, either by picture or
article. he has a remedy at law, and the
Ellsworth measure will not add much TO
his rights. Besides. the public has a
vested right Of enjoyment In the cartoons
OF clever artists; and. besides. again. no
politician is truly great until he has been
adequately cartooned and roundly lam
pooned
