The New Cartoon.

A local philosopher, laughing
over one of Ralph Wilder's car
toons in The Chicago RecOrd-Her.
aid the other day, remarked that
the cartoon is mightier than the
sermon. Certainly the humorous
picture that has come to be so
popular a feature Of the big city
newspaper often hits off the news
of the hour with a veritable
stroke of genius.
The whole art Of the cartOOnist
has become more kindly, less
slashing, than in the days when
Thomas Mast began to make it a
power in journalism. The popu
lar cartoOnist no longer hits some
body over the head for your
amusement, but tickles you under
your own ribs somewhere near the
heart. He does it by illustrating
the little humors of human nature
Of domestic life, of boy nature, Of
feminine foibles-any sort Of
homely or timely joke that both
husband and wife can laugh over
at the breakfast, table.
One Of the gentlest, cleverest
and happiest cartoonists Of this
new school is Ralph Wilder,
whose daily picture on the front
page Of The Chicago Record Her
aid is an unfailing delight. Mr..
Wilder's drawing is unsurpassed,
and his humor, if not side-split
ting, always has a "point" with a
smile in it. His pictures help to
brighten life and send one to ones
task more cheerily. They help to
explain why The Record Herald is
the favorite family newspaper in
the west,

The object of the fair circuit
is to secure higher class attrac-
tons than it would be possible for
one town acting alone to secure
and at n saving in price. A com
pany can afford to come to five
towns on a circuit at less expense
to each town than it could to one
town. 1t is the idea of the towns
in the circuit that a considerable
amount of money can be saved on
the attractions secured and that
more money can be obtained from
the concessions and this Sons to
be a most practical idea. Good at
fractions for less money or better
attractions for the same money as
that paid for inferior attractions
forne|ly, is the plan. 1t is plan

success. The committee in charge

they will have to spend, so that
they may secure attractions ac-
