Current History in Caricature. 



•O wmd •ome power the g:iftie gie us, 

 To ••« ourseWes as ithers see us." — BURNS. 



Tlie Cartoons for the month cover a fairly wide 

 ran<'e. Tlie increasing burden of armaments receives 

 treatment at the hands of the caricaturist, and the 

 subjects range from tliem, through Russian Duma 

 Matters, Roosevelt's Crusade against the Million- 

 aires, the Regicides of Hervia, the German Emperor's 

 Advent to Grandfatherdom, and British political 

 Aft'airs, down to Australian Federal and State 

 Items. Mr. Bent, a week or two ago, evidently 

 under great strain, variously expressed himself as 

 either being anxious to give up State Political 

 Matters, on account of the difficulties attending tlie 

 offi.-e of State Premier, and running for a seat in 

 the Senate in order to guard State interests. Taken 

 all round tlie cartoons are very good. Ryan Walicer 

 in the '-Arena "graphically describes tli" result 

 that may follow the election of Senator Tiift. One 

 almost sighs for an Austr-.dian Ryan WalkiT ta 

 hiK visions of some things Australian into shape.
