Sinopsis

Excerpt from T. R: In Cartoon

The love of Roosevelt for hunting and his amusing experiences durin a carefully prepared Southern bear hunt from which he returned empt handed, much to the delight of the cartoonists and the amusement of th public, followed by the introduction of that amusing toy, the Teddy bea inspired a considerable number of cartoonists with the idea of introducin a diminutive bruin in their daily cartoons. The first to introduce this ide Was Robert W. Satterfield, a Cleveland cartoonist, whose work has wo national attention. Sat's Bear is a feature of Cleveland's daily life. In his role of mediator between war ring Russia and Japan, President Roose velt furnished a most lucky windfall to the cartoonists, especially to the foreign ones. The Big Stick and the Dove of Peace for a time suggested cartoons of incomparable drollery. This period was followed by the anti-japanese riots in California. The President's interventionand then forever the ad vice of the President, Opinion of the President, recommendation ofr the President. To be elected by the American people is no sinecure, above all, when the White House harbors a man who passes his time seeing everything, hearing everything. Trusts, Senate, the House, Donahey in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Voyage to Panama, New the people's choice. York. Elections, the yellow quest1on, negro question, Harriman, all passed before his gaze as in a cinematograph; one affair scarcely terminated until another began, and so to the last day of his admin istration. Never were the caricatures so gleesome, witty, cutting, highly colored. The exaggeration natural to satire was not at all improbable. Caricaturists in the United States perhaps never before presented to the public such well-made designs, overflowing with art and full of observation. Germany is respected, her Emperor criticized; America is criticized, her President praised; incontestable facts shown by the foreign caricatures. John Bull has nearly disappeared from satire, being replaced by King Edward, so much anathematized as Prince of Wales, but who made himself popular by his policy, carried on by fine and skillful diplomacy, quietly, almost in the shade. However, cari cature has never represented him with the President of the United States. The peasant Michel, on the contrary, who is the incarnation of the German nation, vanishes com pletely to yield his place to the Kaiser. In the cartoons the latter is seen sometimes with Uncle Sam, sometimes with Mr. Roosevelt. There exists a well-marked affinity between the two men, a spirit ad venturous, audacious, acute, ani mated, virile, original, sincere. Side by side with political cari catures (which are not always mirth ful) of President Roosevelt, the artists - many American as well as foreign - in many cases have amused themselves at the expense of their Philadelphia Press. Model But - notwithstanding the look out for the eruption.
