An Explanation

An Explanation.

The following letter received at this office last Saturday needs no explanation. It simply reminds our readers of some of the perils to which all papers are liable who comment upon matters of public interest and who use the pencil of the artist to more effectively convey information. Mr. Cramer seems to be of the opininon that his legs should have been made longer in our cartoon las week, so that the persimmons would be within easier reach, and to tell the truth, we are inclined to agree with him. The letter is as follows:

Ann Arbor, Mich., June 3d, '92.

Dear Sir:

I understand the law to be that where a paper makes a caricature of any person it must be true to life, or as near so as possible. Now, I think you got my legs too short and have thereby disfigured me before the public. If you see fit to call and settle and make due apologies in your next issue it will be all right. If not, I shall refer the case to my attorney for further dealings with you.

Respectfully,

D. Cramer.
