New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-12-09
A Croesus in the House.

It is not every law-making body
that has a multi-millionaire as one of
its members and it is only natural
that the legislators-elect are curious
regarding c. A. Congdon, the new
house member from Duluth. They
have heard much about him, and their
curiosity will not be satisfied until
they have seen him in the flesh.
Congdon, to quote nearby Duluth
neighbor, uses eight figures in count
ing his wealth. Fifty million, if it's
cent" he says, and all made on the
iron range. One mine alone brings
him a revenue of S1,0OO,OOO year,
and he has other properties that
realize him in proportion. The richest
iron mine owner in the world next to
j. j. Hill and Frederick Weyerhaeu-
ser, the richest man between Chicago
and the Pacific coast. This is going
some, but the Duluth informant SAYS
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-12-09
The Comic Supplement.

Here are two criticisms of the comic
supplement which strike us as being
right to the point. One of these is by
Brander Matthews, and is as follows
TN primitive communities the sense
of fun is ill-developed, and it is
aroused most easily by physical mis-
adventure. To the savage the simplest
retort is the swift hurting of the stone
AK, If that reaches it's aim, it accom-
plishes its purpose more satisfactorily
than the keenest epigram. Even now
the uncivilized among us who laugh
over the alleged comic supplements
of the Sunday papers take delight in
the misfortunes or hapless caricatures
of our common humanity. In these
figures of fun there is really little
American humor, but only the I'M
hesitating brutality of an early stage
of human progress. These contorted
parodies of mankind have no right to
exist in the era of the telephone and
the electric light and the aeroplane;
they are survivals from the stone age,
when our remote ancestors had not
yet forgotten the tricks inherited from
progenitors accustomed to hang by
their prehensile tails from the boughs
OF the forest primeval.
Hamilton W. Mabie expresses his
opinion of the Sunday monstorities ir
this picturesque language:
IA glance at the so-called comic
supplements of the Sunday edition o.
a great number of American news
papers fills the lover of his kind with
something akin to despair. These
sheets have one artistic quality
Every part finds its place in perfec
harmony, but it is harmony of vul
