THE NEW CARTOON
A local philosopher, laughing over
0He of Ralph Wilder's cartoons in
The Chic ago Hecord-I lerahl the Oth
er day, remarked thai 'he- cartoon
is mightier than tie- sermon. Cer
tainly the humorous picture that has
come to be- so popular a feature of
the big city newspaper often hit I ol'
the news of the hour with a veritable
stroke of genius.
The whole art of tin- cartoonist
has become more kindly, less slash
ing, than in the days when Thomas
Nast began it. The cartorjnist no
longer hits somebody over the head
for your amusement, but tickles you
under your ribs somewhere near the
heart. He does it by illustrating the
little humors of human nature, ot
domestic life, of boy nature, of fem
inine foibles -any sort of homely
Joke that both husband and wife can
laugh over at the breakfast table.
One Of the gentlest. rlsrsfSaU and
happiest cartoonists or this nee
school is Ralph Wilder, whose dally
picture on the front page of The
Chicago Record Herald is an unfall
ing delight. Mr. Wild.-r's drawing i
unsurpassed, and his humor, if Mot i
sidesplitting, always has a "point "j
with a smile in It. His picture; kelp
