13 THE NEW YORK TIMES. SUNDAY. JANUARY 2. 1010. A From Oiling Circus rawing areer Elepliants to var toons, Mr.

as N-pt--Lacked Incident. lews "Public Tbat av.e Af airs an Influencec Politics. TlOUT thirty year. ago there was a long-legged, boy on a farm nwr tb town (Hive rton. who uw4 t.

draw picture, on th. barn door. II. was not supposed to to that; ho waa supposed to help hla father with th. chores.

II. did. too; but whenever he could get a chance at recreation h. would recreate by drawing pict ure, on th. barn door.

And on rocks. And on doorsteps. on And on anything that came handy. About twenty year. ago something lee.

there appeared In th. office of The San Francisco Examiner a long-legged, gangling youngster, half-boy. half-man. with a captivating manner and a de.lr. for a Job.

II. showed torn, aketehea. It waa evident ha had never atudled art; Indeed, when be waa asked about it be aald be bad never been to achool ot any kind, art or other. But the aketehea ahowed merit, and Th. Examiner people became Interested.

They asked him who h. waa. and h. aald he waa Homer Davenport, late of Stiver-ton. Ore.

But aald th. engaging youth, "waa too alow. So I Joined a tlrcus." "What did you quit th. clrcua fori" asked on. of Th.

Examiner I quit." explained th. young man with the captivating manner, when 1 they asked m. to oil th. Alephant. It waa too much of a Job.

They gav. m. a bucket of Unseed oil and a rough brush and put m. up on top of th. elephant, and aald.

Begin on that pot between hla shoul-'dere So I rubbed It In until th. whol. bucket was gone, and then looked at the spot. It ain't even greasy. I put the brush down and did a Uttl.

figuring, and found that at that rat. It would take me va daya. or on. year, to oil th. whole elephant, and I atruck.

I thought It would tak. lsa tlm. to draw plcturea for The Examiner, so I'm looking for a Job." That waa the beginning of th. career of th. famoua cartoonist who now lies dangerously 111 at Point Lome, Cat.

They took Davenport. Jamea Bwlnner-ton. aince celebrated, waa another youngster In Th. Examlnere art department at that tlm. Davenport, who never lacked self-confidence, was grieved and surprised that he didn't get th.

first plac. In th. department, and h. left and went with The Chronicle There his work attracted so much attention Mr. Hearst felt h.

couldn't afford tq, let another paper have so good a man. and he coaxed Davenport back to Th. Examiner. Davenport waa a good bargainer, and didn't let go hla hold on Th. till h.

bad mad. a high-class salary arrangement. Th. htatory of cartooning In America might bav. been considerably different If Davenport had been dissatisfied with Hearst's terms.

II. waa not yet a cartoonist. Newspaper Illustration In thos. days. th.

early nineties, was not what It Is now. Davenport did general work; Illustrated stories turned In by th. reporter, but af-ways In a humoroua fashion. Hearst watched his work and set deliberately to work make a first-class, serious car toonlst out of him. He put him under th.

tuition of a prominent artist and ordered 8. B. Chamberlain, then editor In chief, to take hold of Davenport and bend every-I thing to Ma evolution. Accordingly Arthur McEwen, th. editorial writer; T.

T. Williams, the new. editor, and Chamberlain devoted a part of day to coaching th. youngster tnd making suggestions, and Hearst himself frequently did so. They couldn't hav.

had an apter pupil. Davenport had a moat marvelous facility for seising Ideas and carrying them out. But, Davenport, having Ms career as a cartoonist thus laid out before him, did not let hla education for th. Job atop there. H.

set seriously to work to acquire a first-hand knowledge of public affaire. He went to Sacramento when th. Legislature convened and spent a whole session there, studying for himself th. characteristics of legislators and th. way In which laws were made.

In a short time Ms work was famous all over th. Coast H. did for Pan Francisco what Nat did for New York. "Bh. story of Nast's portraits of Tweed was duplicated by Davenport.

Th. Democratic bosses were Chris Buckley and Sam Ralney. It was Ralney'a habit-to make hla headquarters In a stable on California Street, next door to the California Theatre, and Davenport visited him there. Ralney'a custom waa to atand against th. wall with hla bed thrown back and hla big atom-ach sticking out; on.

fat leg crossed over th. other, and a thick cigar, half-burned. In his stubby fingers. Ralney had what an acquaintance of hla describe, euphemistically aa a rudimentary face." Davenport drew him In this favorite attitude of his; he emphasised slightly the coarseness of Ralney'a feature, and the slop, of his forehead and atlghtly distorted hla "rudimentary" om. The picture bore almply th.

caption. "Th. Boas." It la related that Nast's What Ar. Tou Going Tb'Do About It?" cartoon aet everybody In New York aflame and brought about the undoing of Tweed. 80.

too. in San Francisco the next day everybody waa going around with copies of The Examiner In his handa and aaytng "And that's th. kind fellow that's running this town!" The cartoon was th. beginning of th. end.

Shortly afterward th. ring fell. Ralney was Indicted, and he and Buckley fled to Montreal to wait until th. storm New over. Singularly enough BaJney was too obtuse to Whdtrstand what Davenport done to him.

They remained friends. They used to trade horeea. and whenever Ralney found a good horse he would pick It oat tor Davenport and sell It to aim heap, Hla first National work waa don. In opposition to th. funding scheme, la which he -created" p.

Dollar Mark" otrtoorta of Mark llanna, la which the Republican manager waa displayed tn a suit of clothes studded wltht dollar marks, took rank In cartoon history with Nast's Tweed cartoons and Bernard GUlam's -Tattooed Man" aeries at th. expense eg Blaine. Th. three make a Ulalty oa- approeched In th. annals of America caricature, Not long after th.

campaign was over Davenport and llanna met. Th. cartoons had been savage. On. of them represented llanna.

wearing th. dollar ault and th. brutal visage Into which Davenport's deft pencil bad distorted his square standing with on. foot on a skull. It bore tb.

tinging caption, Where Hanna Stands oa th. Labor Mark Hanna was sensitive to newspaper attack, and Davenport" assaults had been cruel. The situation was delicate. Hanna mad. an effort to be pleasant, but bis face waa grim.

Finally Davenport said. Of course you understand. Mr. Hanna. that my cartoons of you represent no personal feeling.

They were political." Oh. I never minded your political attacks." answered Hanna. gloomily, and then broke out Ilk. a volcano: man sent on earth to regenerate this country and deprive public affair of th. distressing taint of commercialism that baa made graft a feature of political Ufa.

Of course all this Is not to say that Davenport Is a Puritan apostl. who works for th. good of mankind without thought of On the contrary, he has a keen eye for th. main chance, and Invariably drives a good bargain when th. question of th.

laborer and hla hire come. up. Th. campaign of 1904 waa no exception. He la.

In fact, a curious combination of He has," said on. who know, him well, "an extremely practical combined, or rather, contrasted with the most remarkable sentimental. aid. I ever knew In a human being. On on.

It so affected dm that I cried like a Davenporfa delight aa a Westerner waa to alt on tb. top of a rail fenc with aom. chum and swap stories. In hla Eastern environment th. fenc.

rail has been modified out of th. schema but otherwise hla favorite recreation la the same, i Yet Davenport la such a delightful talker that th. swapping feature la somewhat one-elded. Moatr men would rather hear him talk, than talk themselves. In any group h.

becomes the centre. That early habit of studying public men and affaire h. has kept 'up. all his life, and he knows everybody worth knowing ail over th. country.

This does not mean politicians alone; his acquaint-anee extends to all walka of life. H. knows all the eminent prUe fighters, and la a strong friend of Bob FUxslmraons. In fact, be Is a good boxer himself. He knew all the leading trotting horse men, such aa Orrin Htckok.

John H. Goldsmith and C. G. K. Billings; In hla youth Davenport had a reputation aa a driver of trotting horses.

If a man la of prominence In any line. It Is a fairly aafe bet tbat Davenport knows him. It waa through his friendship with Roosevelt that be waa enabled to make' hla great success with Arabian horses. He was always a lover of horses; that. Indeed.

wan what led him to run away with a circus In his youth. Earlier even than bat a picture of an Arab horse had powerfully affected hla Imagination, and be alwaya wanted to own some. Roosevelt gave him a letter of Introduction to the Bui tan of Morocco, and, through the Sultan's aid he was received with open arms by the great Anlxeh tribe, th. greatest" raisers of tha Arab horse.

Moreover, ff you have' read of tha ware between tbVSpanlarde and the Moors you have heard tell of the great Hernando Del Pulgar, who among other things rode sole and alon. through leagues and leagues of the enemy's country until he clattered clanging In the dark over Grenada's cobblestones and nanea a parchment bearlngUhe "Av. Maria upon th.

door of the' Great Mosque. Which was quite a thing to do. Alejandro' might have been his des- cendant. but wasn't, for Pulgar was the family name of Alejandro and merely the nickname of Hernando, meaning "thumb," which Is not romantic. When I knew' Alejandro.

he waa porter In a respectable lodging bouse on O'Reilly Street. Havana O'Reilly Street, -named that was created by th. favorlt. epithet. and howled with all a yell master's sav ageness in a voice that drove Uke a.

Reed -was another of Davenport's victims.

No cartoonist ever succeeded In catching as Davenport did the peculiar baby droop of Reed'a mouth and th. humoroua 'effect of tne eyelids, and his portraits of Reed exaggerated those characteristics enough to make Reed's friends scream with laughter whenever they saw a Davenport cartoon. Personally Davenport snd Reed were friendly, but Davenport pursued the Speaker relentlessly In his csrtoons for years. It was with him a matter of conviction. To him Reed waa the Incarnation of all th.

abuses In Congress, as Cannon Is to so many now. To Davenport Reed waa the tool of the Interesta." though h. considered Reed personally honest. For Davenport has Intense political convictions. A friend of his described him the other day as a Roosevelt Democrat, or a TUden Republican." He is a natural Democrat, a democrat with a little one to whom human rights and human liberty are so dear that the slightest Infringement of them anywhere rasps a nerve.

The type is not s. common as It used to be. The keen sense of Democracy has grown a Uttl. In a day when many -Americans look -with equanimity on the exercise of police authority to suppress public meetings because the speakers bear some unpopular label Uke Socialist or Anarchist; when one side of the law is, shown to the shirtwaist striker and an entirely different side to th. strikebreaker, and when other petty divergences from the democratic Ideal excite no particular attention.

It Is unusual to find a mnn who Is actually hurt and wounded when one class gets a better deal at the handa of authority than another, or when th. law hands privileges to one set of people and only obligations to another. But such a man Is Homer Davenport. Th. spirit of his cartoons represents bis real thought, and la not th.

product of hire. In conversation among hi. friends be often flames out In bitter denunciation of men who warp public ta th. of th. system." Whan Davenport, in th.

campaign of 1M. entered th. service of th. Republican National Committee there was a good deal rf criticism by persons who did not understand this feature ot bis character. H.

had been consistently assailing th. Republican party: now he waa supporting It. they said. But h. was not; h.

waa supporting Roosevelt. In 1904 the Roosevelt Democrat waa a type not so well understood aa la now. It was McKlnleyUm, or rather? Hanna. lam. that Davenport assailed; th.

old kind of Republican party which seems so archaic when we look back at It across the two Administration. Th. Taft Administration may not reaembJ. that ot Roosevelt, but It Mca It was In that campaign that Davenport drew what he regards as his best cartoon that of Uncle Sara patting Roosevelt on the back and saying. He's gnod enough for me." In view of the fact that he will undoubtedly b.

remembered by his Hanna cartoons as Nast Is by his Tweed pictures. It may seem surprising that Davenport sets so much store by this rather commonplace thought of bis It la Ita simplicity, of which h. proud. Certainly it waa the most popular of his pictures. If that Is any Indorsement of his view of It.

What waa perhaps the most affecting Incident in Davenport's public career occurred at the time when Admiral Dewey returned to America. In our customary hysterical and slobbering American way a way which we describe as that of Anglo-Saxon aang frold and imperturbability, casting meanwhile a scornful gUnce on tb. comparatively calm and self-contained French we had thrown ourselves at Dewey's feet, hailed him in terms that would have been extravagant If applied to Nelson, and virtually Invited him to walk, up and down- on our prostrate forma We always do this with heroes, and then throw bricks at them when their heads Inevitably swell. In Dewey's case the ooean ot gush we drowned him In waa kept within bounds by a certain Yankee thrift. W.

confined It to words. not deeds. We did present him with a picayune little house In Washington, a narrow and unlovely little thin thing, elbowed into the background by handsome residences all around It. Dewey married and. foolishly think.

I the American people had given him the bouse to do what he itted with, presented It to hla wife aa a wedding gift. The storm of abuse that fell on the luckless ex-hero surpassed anything In our history, even what we banded to flobson. While the Indian givers who hsd contributed anywhere from ten- to rifteen cents to the fund were writing tetters to the editor saying they never would have don. Jt If they bad known what a miserable wretch Dewey was. I and wanted their money pack, Davenport cnfe out with one of bis greatest cartoons.

It simply represented Dewey sailing Into Manila Bay on the Olyropla and destroying the Spanish fleet, and under It were the words -Lest We Forget." helped powerfully in the revulsion of feeling which aet In In Dewey's favor. Shortly afterwardPavanport and Dewey met In Washington. Davenport." aald the. Admiral, tn tones broken with emo-Uon. th.

Ever since Alejandro had reached 15 he had had a roast pig on his birthday, and he was approaching 26 when the siege of Santiago began. The purchase of a pig had meant to Alejandro's family In Pon Ferrada, province of Leon, much scrimping in the meals preceding and succeed ing the glorious pork debauch. In the reach army the pig he purveyed his friends, cooked with his own hands, eaten with ahaste and Informality curiously In contrast-with the atatelyapeech.of those who ate thet gradtToquent felicitations they mingled' with the gobbling of goblets of pork, the pig cost blm a large part of hla poor pay.
