A, last night, Col. Charles W, Burpee ex- pressed some interesting opinions on the power of cartoons which appear in newspapers and magazines, He voiced his belief that eartoons helped 1o assagsinate Lincoln and MeKinley, The greater part of, his talk dealth With the English press prior to and during the Civil war, He sald in part “First let us look at the English cartoons, In point of artistic meri they are the enly ones worthy of co sideration anyhow. Those of Tenniel in Punch never have heen excelled un. less it be in Continental publieations, when the art is anclent, Presenting them in regular order we shall get o keener appreciation of those relating particularly to Lincoln, n January of 1861, Punch, Ten- niel=—here at the outset the Southern cause Is presented in no very com- plimentary fashion, A sbrewish woraan, her lank figure clad in hom: spun, a pistol in her belt and a ecat- o'nine-talls clutched in her hand, i turning her face resentfully toward Uncle Bam, whose knees are clasped by a negro boy. This picture s called, ‘Divorce a vineulo, Miss Carolina as- s her right to larrup her nigger.' farch 2, 1861, Vanity Falr—This Was at the time when there was speculation as to Linceln's cabinet and the attitude toward the South, Lin- coln s depioted as & country gawn inner room, tall Thurlow in the eity, urging him to tr him- self to him and to his friend Beward, Beward stands on the other side of Lineoln with & saintly expression, Greely (their enemy) is trying to get inte the room through a deer which is held with & ehain: In his hand he has the Chieago platform.

A erowd of roughs in the street is hammering negroes whe turn ap- pealingly te Linceln. Lincoln stands one side—dejected, crestfallen, dis- couraged but silent, This is entitiea, ‘owdy Notions of Emancipation.’ “Fehruary, 1885, Punch—In these later days Lineoln was represented with a frightfully protruding under- lig and halr bristling like that of a madman, Probably the worst of all of the distressing of Lincoin's phy- siogmy s that in this the last of ita series, ‘Threatening Notice' is the title, Lincoln is remonstrating with the Senate whith s a fat-bellied American eagle. He is remonstrating about the proposed abrobation of Canadian treaties, saying that such action would drive ‘John Bull ovér to that other cuss, Davix', “May 6, 1865, Punch—The bitter- ness has gone, With gentle, sympa- thetic strokes the pencil of Tennlel seeks to atone for its past and ob- tains for the artist the certainty of immortality. ‘Britannia Sympathizes with Columbia’ is a pleture which has played an important part in the re. lations between these two, great na- tions. The old time bitterness has not yet died out; the effect often is seen in this country, but so far as it could be obliterated by any one man "DOES NOTHAVETO TAKE PHYSE “Froit-a-tves” Brought Compite Relle Asaromn, New Yous, 1 tried seversl kinds of physie for over three years and, of eourse, while 1 took it every night my bowels would move; but as soon as I stepped taking physie, I would be Constipas ted and would have Piles terribly, 1 bought one box of *'Fruit-a-tives" and took th Now I am not troubled any more with Constipation or Piles, “Fruit-a-tives" or “Fruit Laxo Tablets” left no after-effects and now I donot have to use physie”, Mrs, JOHN CAPOZZL, 80¢c & box, 6 for $2.50, trial size 230, At dealers or from FRUIT-A-TIVES Limited, OGDENSBURG, N.Y, e period is attractive as marking the beginning of the cartoon era. ” “As you well know these eartoons were crude, they hal little of the ranking bitterness of the English- men's. rank Leslie's produced only A very tew during the whole period of the war, “August, 1860, Harper's.——~ This is the very first cartoon of Lincoln, The artist may have seen him two or three times but he had had o time or abll- ity perhaps to catch the striking fea- tures which count ro much in the work of the cartoonist.

At her feet kneels a negro, also weeping, his broken shackles beside him. . “The poem by Tom Taylor in this same issue is even more remarkable than the cartoon. Its purpose is to express how it is possible that Punch, after all its bitterncss and injustice, can be permitted to portray England's deep grief and final appreclation of the abused. It may be remarked in- cidentally that the poem was severely criticized by many Englishmen as be- ing altogether too abject. And, to- day a great big bronze statue stands in Westminster Square of Abe Lincoln the emancipator. “The total of the cartoons in the American Press is less than that in the English publications. In Amer- fca, as in England, there ‘were only two periodicals which had profes- sional cartoonists—Harper's Weekly and Frank Leslie’'s—and in lampoon- ing they were far behind their Eng- lish brothers. “They were decidedly lacking in| artistic skill. Knights of the crayon gave their chief attention to the line of work now performed by the cam- era, for the weeklies. There, their Imagination found great play al- though, to obtain their basis of fact, they kept well in the front rank with the armies, had many thrilling ex- periences, were as well known as the war correspondents and left for us a pictorial record which, though not all balancing pole. Whatever may be said of it, none of the subsequent car- toons were better in spirit and in point than this one. “April 15, 1865, saw the end of the series of war time cartoons and it ended with a picture of Lincoln. The publication was run off the press April 14, making 'its appearance on the newstands April 15. That was the morning. after Lincoln's assassination. And this is what the people saw and read. Lincoln’ is represented at City Point writing a letter on a drum head in camp. Under the picture are the words, ‘From our special war corres- pondent—All seems well with us.’ “The cartoons of today are a great source of amusement, but many times at the expende of the parties involved and do much harm. Cartoons helped to assassinate Linecoln and McKinley by poisoning the insane minds of the criminals who committed the dastard- ly erime.” MOUTH CEM} Rubber Glue Seals Rgchester Man's Throat, Suffocates Him Rochester, N.
