THE SIIGUS, FRIDAY, MAY YOUNG VETS HELP Qiboney Bay Camp Endorses Candidacy of Edwin H. Buck. WILL ASSIST IN CAMPAIGN the encampment and doing all in the'r ! i-oAcr in his behalf. The special train offered by the Burlington for the Rock island county delegations has been an Inducement, Inasmuch as better ac r-omir.odations will be afforded the vet crans in th:s manner. The Buck forces are going to Galesburg to win and an effort will be made to take as many cf Mis comrades as possible to the battle ground. Large Number of Candidate's Com rades Will Accompany Him to Galesburg Encampment. At the regular un-cting of Siboucy Bay camp, United Spanish War Veter ans, held last evenln.tr, rt .solutions were adopted endorsing the candidacy of Edwin IL Buck for the office of de partment commander of the Grand Ar my of the Republic of Illinois. The resolutions follow: Whereas, It has come to the atten tion of Sibony Bay camp. United Span ish War Veterans, that Kdwin II. Buck, a veteran of the war of the re bellion, has received the hearty en dorsement of all the posts of the Grand Army of the Republic in Rock Island county, and adjoining counties for the office of state commander of the G. A. R., at the encampment to be held at Galesburg, 111., on May 22-24 next; and Whereas, Comrade Buck has a rec ord as a soldier and citizen that ap peals to every patriotic citizen, and served his flag and country with honor and credit, which sould be emulated by every true American, therefore be it Resolved, That Siboney Bay camp.

Buck, and make an earnest ap peal to all comrades to lend a!l as sistance possible, to further the inter ests of Comrade Buck for the office that he has received such universal en dorsement and for which he is well qualified. Ilrportn Arc Enroiiraslui;. With only three weeks remaining un til the state encampment in Gales burg, numerous encouraging reports are coming to the committee in charge of Mr. Buck's campaign with refer ence to his candidacy. A large num ber from the posts of this county have signified their intention of attending Newspaper Comic Supplements. Beginning next Sunday May C The Chicago Tribune will inaugurate :i revolution in the somic supplements if Sunday newspapers. It will presen to its readers a comic supplement o ntirely different character than any now extant a comic supplement pre 1 tared by the past masters in the art of this species of illustration, th cream of the German humorists, who have made funny papers of the father- ind the best in the world. True progress is not the abandon nent of what is defective; It is the institution of something better. progressive newspaper is quick to rec oguize a public demand or a public seed. If there is any feature which is ic object of persistent criticism, even roin a limited number of critics, the least that can be done is to examine nto the justice of the criticism, and f that proves well grounded a newspa per which recognizes that the reason for its existence is the satisfaction of ts readers will make the improvement tailed for. Jerome K. Jerome was partly right when he declared that the Sunday comic supplement was a blot upon American journalism. lie put thi nought into exaggerated language. He. s given to putting things in a pictur . sque way. The truth is that the gen s.ral Sunday comic supplement is not as good as it ought to be. - The Tribune, like all other newspa pers, got into a rut. It proposes to get out and lead the way out. Heueving that there is nothing m the world loo good for its readers. The Tribune Fomc time ago set out to find artists whose work would be a suffi cient reply to the charge that the Sunday comic supplement is inferior to the rest of the paper. Naturally, the direction in which at tention was turned was toward Ger many. The first humorous illustrated journal of any real merit in ths conn try was founded by a German. Ger many was then and still remains the , I It 0 1801-1803- 2nd. Ave ROCK ISLAND ' AIX WOOL SUITS. Come and ; judge for yourself. Clever Clothes Cleverly Fitted for Clever Men. Made up in the new Alma'Matcr style is the lever that is prying many a man from his old buying ground to THE HUB. Suits from $1000 to $25.00. Every Suit Guaranteed, not by mere word, but by a written guarantee sewed in the pocket of each coat, . . . true home of humorous art. The Ger man humorous weeklies are the best in the world. Many of the cleverest things in other American newspapers have been copied from German peri odicals, without due credit given. The characteristic quality of German hum orous illustration is the good nature of it. Either it is pure fun, without a moral and without a taint, or it is in spired by a Epirit of mild satire of social foibles and blunders. It pre sents tyiK?s easily recognizable as be longing to the real world. Even the victims can laugh at the way the artist catches the expression of their state of mind. This means also that the pic ture is a finished production, capable of representing emotion by subtle changes in details, and not can fined to broad arid exaggerated outlines, al though these, too, are used when ex pedient. A representative of The Tribune re cently made a special trip to Europe and concluded arrangements which will mark an epoch in the history of comic journalism in the United States. Beginning on May Otli ,the comic sup plement of The Sunday Tribune will be made up mainly of the work of the best humorcus artists of Germany, some of whom will draw exclusively for this paper. The field was carefully surveyed and the men selected whose work is the most important in German humorous journalism. At the same time due attention was given to secur ing a pleasing variety in the line of thought represented in the drawings of these men. Some of these artists will make their homes in Chicago; indeed, some are already here to study American conditions and to produce drawings which shall have all tho accuracy, charm and wit by which the:r work in Germany has been characterized, and which also shall be full of local color. Other artists, remaining in Europe, will treat those phases of life which have a universal quality and do not de pend upon their setting for effect, or which treat of fanciful scenes in a world of animals. The first of The Tribune's new ar tists to arrive in Chicago is Hans llo- rina, of Vienna. Hcrr Horina for the last 15 years has occupied a unique place in the European field of wit and humor. For that space of time he has been the originator of perhaps 25 per cent of the humorous pictures publish ed in German and Austrian papers. For years every issue of the Fligende Blaet ter has had samples of his nimble wit. His fertile brain produces funny situa tions so abundantly that he has made a practice of selling these ideas to the omic papers of Germany. These pa pers have delegated to others tho task of transferring to paper his concep tion. From an ethical point of view the change to be inaugurated by The Trib une is no less important than from the artistic. The comic supplement, as it ;ias been and as it still is in the case f most newspapers, has been denounc ed frequently by teachers aud by preachers as exercising a demoraliz ing influence upon the young and tending to brutalize both young and old. While The Tribune never has jecn open to the severe censure pass ed npon the Sunday supplement in gen eral, it cannot deny that the newspa pers of this country have been guilty in allowing the evil to reach the pro portions it has assumed recently. A determined effort should have been made long ago to set the standard so ligh that it would be impossible to nnd a purchaser for the trivial stuff which enters so many homes with the Sunday paper. The Tribune recognizes its partial esponsibility in the matter. It has al ways stood at tnc ncau, d;ii nm ui nough at the head to compel the oth r papers to change their tactics. Now I will be necessary for those who have alien into the habit of condemning the comic supplement indiscriminately to make an exception of The Cmcago Tribune and to confess that it is pos sible to find a comic supplement that s humorous without being coarse, sat irical without being vulgar, playful without being mean, cruel, or heart less.
