Show IGLEH ART AND LOVEY Tell About Cartoons and Cartoonists. The Iglehait-Love.v lectute and "chalktalk" at the A. C. or I'. Satin-day Satin-day evening was a tteat. iglehait Is manager of the Salt Lake Heiald, and while his foite Is not public speaking, lie gave a btlef hlstoiv of eat toons and the cattooiiing Idea In a most in-tetestlng in-tetestlng wat. To most people the workings of the avetage newspaper olllec arc tin unfathomable enigma, and cspeelall) Is this Hue of tlie pictorial pic-torial dcpailmeut, so tb.it his talk was very, much appicclatd as a matter mat-ter of infoimation and hist i net Ion. Mr. Iglehait said that eaitoouiug really began with the ptetmed stoiies of eat ly (lavs which we now llud on ancient niasoni), tablets, etc. It's gtovvth lias been a u.ituial tesitlt ol. need for-Nvldei and bio.idei exptcss' n In few wotds "Oneeaitoon is moie effect Ive than a dozen speeches" said tin' speakai, "foi the icason that when chaiait 'iicd, the Idea Is deliu-Itely deliu-Itely llxod." The cartoon is icgaided as an editorial expiesslon and the paper pa-per Is held liable. "Hut theie aie seldom mi) suits against, a paper on account of Its cat toons," said Mi. Iglehait, "for the icason that It seems ildlculous tor the law to take seilously that which Is usiiall) so huinoious as a caitoon." 'The English vvais developed cat-toonlsts cat-toonlsts us did tlie civil wai, and today to-day "I'ltnch" and "Llle" aie making I lilstoi.v moie eeil.iinl) than an) other agency, .xsist's (.ulnous were moie potent than any edltoilal, and that gteat artist 'cldom used more than a 1 line to explain ills moaning. At the time,. -Nasi, vyis so popular, it was necessary for the ait 1st himself to en-giave en-giave his Idea on a block, and It usual!) us-ual!) took fiom a week to ten da.vs to complete a caitoon. Now photog-l.iphy photog-l.iphy and othei pioeesses make It possible for a caitoon to lie completed within mi hour after the Idea Is on papet. "The idea that a caitoon Is made haphazaid Is a mistaken one'" said Mr. Iglehait. "It Is necessary that the same shall be of immediate intctest, generalities must be avoided, and asii title It tiitist be lather hum-oi hum-oi us. It must also be In haimouy with the edltoiial expressions of the papet which pilots it. It is a carefully care-fully made-up expression and Is ire-(iitentl.v ire-(iitentl.v the lesult of a combination of Ideas from many peusons." Tho speaker said In twenty )ears not moro than a half do.en women have been cartooned, and the cartoonists always respect private life. Men ate never cartooned until they give up private life and comcbcfotc the public. When tlie cat toonlst Is "up against it" for Ideas, they not infrequently discuss affairs with others and Hnally block out a proposed cartoon. Members of the editorial staff sometimes suggest changes. In Mr. Iglehart's opinion the greatest great-est cartoon ever made was that of Sir John Tiiiinchtll of England at tlie time Hlsmarck, of German), retlted. This represented a "ship of state" with Histnark Just depaitlng In a small boat. Another of great Impoit and far teaching effect was that of Davenport's at the time of Dewey's discomfiture. It will be teiucmbeied that when the nation ptesented Dew-e) Dew-e) with a line tesldence, etc., he deeded deed-ed It to his newly wedded wife. The countty went wild and Dewey was the leciplent of thousands of unfriendly lettets. His feelings were worked upon to such an extent that he ex-ptessed ex-ptessed himself as soirv he had ever joined the nav), sotiv he had gone to Manila, and expected to tind another couutiy for his home. Davenport was attending a "dog show" at Philadelphia Philadel-phia when Richard llaidlug Davis, a friend of Dewey and much cut up about It, read this teporl to Daven-pott. Daven-pott. The latter asked Davis why he didn't wiiteau article in Dewey's defense, de-fense, and Davis ictaliated by asking Davenport why he didn't make a caitoon cai-toon in his defense. Davis petsuaded Davenpnit to leave the dog show and make a cartoon. The same reptesenl-ed reptesenl-ed I'ncle Sain holding in his hand a large war vessel, and In it tnae tlie battle of Manilla was leprosented, with Dewe)'s likeness in tlie back-giound. back-giound. A ci oss tho latge vessel appeared ap-peared the wording, "Lest we foiget." The cartoon was a wondeilul success. Instead of thousands of Insulting lettets, let-tets, Dewey soon leeched as many favotable letters and most containing the caitoon. It saved the day and kept Dewey with its. Lovey's demonstrations with the pencil weie thotoughlv appreciated. The cartoonist has a dij humor as well as a facile pencil and feitlle mind and lua ver) shoit space of time had the audience in an upioai He talked and scratched, sctatclicd and talked and the llrst piodtictiou was that of Mr. Patrick Lanivau formei owner of TheTilbiine.

The cat toonlst also took foi subjects such public chaiacteis as Keatns, David II. Hill, Wm. Glasmaun. Senator Sen-ator Smoot and Mauir Robinson.
