A BITING SATIRE,


Paul Pry journalism is growing ran
idly worse in New York, and in some of
the branches of the parent stock which
reach out into other communities. In the
desperate effort to outdo each other in
lndecency and gross extravaganza of il
lustra ton and nastiness these alleged
papers have become sacriligious. and
have taken to gross illustration of sub
jects that, If not holy in the eyes of
all, at least are deemed worthy of pro-
lection from caricature and ridicuIe.
When so-called newspaper comes
down to the low level at Christmas
or any other time of caricaturing the
Madonna and Infant Christ, and repre-
senting Mary in modern fashion with
all the outfit of an up-to-date fashiona-
BILE woman, with a companion at her
knee in robes of to-day and style la
mode, even the most insensible are
shocked at the gross levity of the Of
tenders. The attempt to excuse the car
phantasy is altogether too thin.
Recently the chambermaid papers were
in trouble because there was at the hol-
iday season a paucity Of racy things to
dish UP. A seeming Of repression along
the lines of nastiness was forced upon
them at that period of the year and they
were therefore sorely put about to keep
the sensational fires ablaze. The New
York Times" of December 25th thus
wittily commiserates the freak jour
nails upon their strait, and with caustic
pity pours molten lead into their palms.
For satirical writing the following is
model:
When you have accustomed a man to
a diet of red pepper, you will have
trouble in weaving him from it on
milk and water. 1t is, however, a fact
that the principal topic for illustration

THE PRESIDENTIAL TERM.

Hon. A. B. Cornell in the Forum" ar
CUES with much force in favor of longer
terms for the President Of the United
States. He thinks that once in six
years is frequently enough for the un-
settling Of business and the disturbing
of the nation with the heat and fric-
ton of a Nataional campaign. 1t is
within the knowledge of all men Of the
land that Presidential election does
disturb business, checks the commercial
current and measurably interrupts the
free movement of capital in promotion
of industrial activity. We are very
much inclined to agree with the Cornell
argument, and stand for a change in
the term, for economic and prudential
reasons. The essayist says on this sub
ject:
Longer continued periods of uninter-
rupted business tranquility are extreme
ly desirable, and indeed indispensable,

The incident is pretty, and might,
though of course it did not, make the
subject of an effective picture. But
Fancy presenting a mawkish fact, or
fiction, like this TO a jaded reader who
has laid out his cent with a confident
expectation of breakfasting on hor-

resen tations of social leaders" who are
accused of desiring to represent their
country abroad
1t would not be fair to say that there
is nothing more moving than this in the
art departments. There is the case of
that unhappy mother and daughter who
went before a Magistrate in New Jer-
sey and executed in due form a pledge
to abstain from intoxicating liquor, and
then departed, taking precautions to
preserve privacy. But it is the glory
and delight of a free, freak press to
nullify such precautions; and the freak
press was not to be baff1ed. The sleuth-
hound was put upon the scent, and, al
though he found it rather cold. returned
with what somebody believed to be the
real names of the signers of the pledge,
from which and descriptions it was
apparently the work of a moment for
the art department to construct two
two-column cuts. No doubt the report
ers are still working up the case" and
If it appears that the names We're the
real names, the publication of them will
have been triumph of enterprise, of
such enterprise as in less advanced
communities would have received a tes-
timonial in the form of a f1orsewhip.
An occasional triumph like this does
not alter the fact that the way of the
freak newspaper has of late been very
hard. But let the freak press cheer up.
Liliuokalani is coming, and with her
the opportunity of the art departments.
1t is already announced from New Or
leans that she played the mandolin on
the train frern San Francisco. With
this hint and an old photograph that
would be an incompetent art depart
ment which could not furnish full
page portrait and a whole colored sup
plement. What could be brighter,
breezier, brainer than the prospect?

for the safe development of a diversi-
fled industrial progress. These condi-
tions can be securely attained only by
increased exemption from unnecessary
political agitation This desirable re-
suit can be promoted with the greatest
certainty by extending the length of the
Presidential term. The first and last
years of every National Administration
are naturally seasons of political ac-
tiyity; so that, under a term of sour
years, barely two years of quiet can be
expected. If the Presidential term We're
heightened to six years. we might fairly
anticipate at least four years of continu-
Gus exemption from political strife. The
longer intervals of political tranquility
between the Presidential campaigns
could not fail to be promotive of condi-
tions favorable to the conservative de-
velopment of business enterprise in all
departments of industrial activity. Sup
posing the Presidential term to be
heightened to six years, as herein pro-
posed, members of the House of Repre-
sentatives should be elected for a period
of three years. Thus there would be, as
at present two full terms of Congress
within the limit of each Presidential
term. The official service of each new
Congress should also be made to COM
mence within reasonable time of the
election of the members, instead of being
postponed for the first regular session,
for more than a year following the cleo
ton, as is now the case Thus, the
voice Of the people. as expressed through
their hoIlnfC
receive more prompt and considerate
attention. The practice of permitting
the old Congress to conduct the legis-
laton Of the country for whole year
after the election of their successors is
a relic Of early days which should speed
