CHANCE FOR A COMIC HISTORY.

DNGLISHMEN may take their pleasures sadly, but they do no.
= always take themselves seriously. Nicholas Murray Butler
~ unearhed n comic history of England when he was last in
London and wonders whether the time has not come TO write a comic
history Of the United States.
Why not? The first volume was issued a century ago when
Washington Irving published his "Knickerbockers History" Amcri-
can humor did not die with him nor did themes that lend themselves
to il pass with the Dutch governors; nor do the comic histories OF
FMl Nyc and J. i. Sherwood meet the case. Certain traits in the
American character recommend themselves to humorous or Satire
treatment. Chief Of these are the immense national vanity, the "tal
talk" which foreigners guess We borrowed from the Indians; Ameri-
can prodigalty in multiplying laws and parsmony in obeying them;
moral yearning' legislation never intended to be enforced; clutter
ing up Of State constitutions with ephemeral statutes; enthusiasm
for minding other peoples business coincident with sackncss in mind
ing ones own.
Among the things which either demand or permit humorous
treatment are the blue laws of New England, the disappearance Of
the minute Men" and "Sons of Liberty" the moment real fighting
began in the Revolution, the attempts of John Adams and Theodore
Roosevelt to bride the press, Jefersons plan for %amphibious gun
boats to be used either on land or water, the military strategy Of
the war of 1912, including the abandonment and burning of Wash
ington, the embarrassments of Jacksons Cabinet over the social
status of Peggy Eaton, the literary penchant Of William Henry Har-
rison for Roman senators and Greek tyrants, the leg-work done at
hull Run, the carpet-bag and negro governments of the Southern
States, the travels Of Andrew johnson and William II. Taft, Wall
streets attempt to compromise Grant, Bryan's "crown of thorns"
and "cross of gold" speech, the battleship cruise about the earth,
noosevelts Guldhall speech telling the English just how to do it,
the friendship Of Roosevelt and Taft, Champ Clarks reciprocity
speech, the nt-Masonic, Know Nothing, Greenback and National
Prohibition parties, the consistent lack Of humor of the Democratic
party, Republican "busness men in politics." the tub-thumping period
Of pstriotic orstory, the national banking system, some camp.meet-
iuss, many school histories, most river and harbor bills, and all
political conventions.
This country may be producing a good deal Of comic history
without moving it.
