Luther Daniels Bradley

“ This big, gentle hearted artist dearly loved also to picture women admonishing their husbands on matters of public duty or serenely setting them right when they were in the midst of some wrongheaded action typically masculine. He believed that women commonly had a finer, truer sense in matters of social service than had men, and he championed their cause effectively by expressing in many ways his conviction that as a rule they were no less clear of vision than pure of purpose in dealing with public affairs. ”

“ Luther had a few drawing lessons before the family moved to Evanston, taking them of a north side lady. They were the kind of lessons during which one works at a lop-sided peach, or a tortured hand. Afterward he had no art instruction whatever. He was just a gay, clear-eyed youth, full of pranks, who might be anything when he grew up, but who it was hoped would be a real estate man. As one old friend put it the other day, "Luther Bradley always seemed too much of a kid ever to be famous, to have a career." ”

“ ISN'T IT TIME SHE HAD A NEW DRESS?
["Miss Chicago" in the patchwork of a dress she had outgrown was the Bradley way of expressing the need of a new charter for Chicago. This cartoon was reproduced widely and used as campaign material by the charter amendment advocates in 1904. It brought home with force the antiquated system of government the city was forced to "wear."]

“ Luther loved his sisters, but neither he nor his pursuits were dominated by them. He had his own especial pleasures, such as pigeon-shooting south of Evanston, in regions now covered by apartment buildings and business blocks, or exploring wild places west of the Skokie, or driving old Frank, the family's amiable white horse, through the Wilmette forests. Better yet, he loved to sprawl in the sand and listen to the yams of the Evanston life-saving crew. Capt. Lawson, for so many years in charge of the station, took a fancy to Luther Bradley, and taught him how to sail a catboat. ”

“ Every blackletter font is different, and there is no point worrying about the individual glyphs. A and k should be sufficient in the vast majority of cases regardless of what the original scan's A and k look like. The only time it would matter, is when the text is deliberately choosing one form over the other. For example, say a book on calligraphy that wants to demonstrate the difference between blackletter forms of A, or in which the author states that they deliberately chose one form of glyph over another for some reason or other. ”

“ These cartoons, which appeared in Melbourne Punch about 1889-90, are published here as samples of the work Luther D. Bradley was doing at that period of his career. The subjects treated have, of course, no savour of the present day. "Sir Graham," represented as having broken down on the road, was Sir Graham Berry, agent general in London for the colony of Victoria. He was seemingly no favorite, politically, of Melbourne Punch. The other cartoon refers to the strike of dock laborers in London in 1889. ”

“ In an age when publicity comes easily to less eminent men, when, indeed, popular persons are so much written about that their work is less known than their way of working, Luther Bradley managed to live unobtrusively. Yet he had friends, thousands of friends who never saw him, but who felt that in his cartoons he spoke directly to them. ”

“ Truth if caricatured becomes a lie. In the successful cartoon everything may be distorted except the truth.
Bradley had a high respect for his art and for his position as a teacher through his art. He was a student of cartooning, historically and otherwise. It was a source of satisfaction to him that as an American cartoonist he had among his predecessors men of such strong convictions as Paul Revere, Thomas Nast and Joseph Keppler. ”

“ The tribute was characteristic of Mr. McCutcheon's sincerity in his friendships. Equally sincere was his spoken comment at the time of Mr. Bradley's death: "He was great all the time . . . not just now and then." ”

“ What we did not know was that this serious-looking individual of whom most of us never had heard was to do in the seventeen years remaining to him work enough for the average life-time—work so startling in vitality, so luminous with youth, that one could never believe him to be old. ”

“ There, after his hair became gray, he revived his boyhood pleasures, and romped with a company of admirers more congenial and outspoken than those who praised his cartoons: the children, both his own and the neighbors. Tennis, swimming, skating, boating, football, campfires on the beach, a thousand "days of real sport."
Of all the tributes he received, give me the one spoken by a little boy, a newcomer thereabouts, who after skating one day with Luther Bradley and a group of shouting sprites, remarked,
"Who was that big gray-haired feller? Say, he's a real feller!" ”

“ In a world with so many wrongs to be combated he had no patience with frivolous subjects for cartoons. He took his talent too seriously, he took life too seriously, to waste his time on littlenesses. He was eager to attack any piece of injurious folly or any social tendency indicating deterioration of the mental, moral, or physical fiber of Americans. ”

“ A facsimile is trying to reproduce every feature of a work, including margins, spacing, alignment, fonts, and all the things we don't preserve on Wikisource. There are some features over which we simply have no control. There are some features we can try to preserve, but at some point we have to admit that we can't control font and typography to such a degree in an electronic medium. ”

“ His father encouraged him to be athletic, and to make things, and to be a manly fellow that was a father worth having: one who could beat the fellows jumping, and who could do nice carpentry work, and who kept a little astronomical observatory in the back yard, with a real telescope. Luther Bradley became a very strong-and masculine youngster, quite untamed by the fact that he had a houseful of sisters. He had at first three of these—Sarah Elizabeth and Eleanor, born in New Haven, and Louise Ruggles, born in Chicago. ”

“ To the writer, whose privilege it has been for more than twenty years to confer almost daily with some cartoonist of proved ability or of excellent promise while the latter was developing the idea which was to take pictorial form under his skillful hand a few hours later, it is a pleasure to record here the belief that, like Abou Ben Adhem, the successful producer of cartoons loves his fellow men. ”

“ And moving down the flower-strewn pathway's bloom
Entered the dim cathedral's sombre gloom.
And the proud master stood exultingly,
⁠To mark when they should on the altar gaze,
The flaming glory of his window see,
⁠And smiled within himself at their amaze
To think that such the work of man could be ”

Predominantly none of us has worried about the image scans having the Google component, and as it doesn't affect our transcription and presentation, we politely ignore it. ”

“ For the great men of the past he had a particular reverence. The birthdays of Washington and Lincoln seldom or never passed without his drawing lessons from their lives for the profitable consideration of the people of to-day. ”

“ He learned then much of the clean-cut efficiency, the determination to finish what was begun, that he practiced later, and that he demanded from others. Nevertheless, whenever he could he went in for athletics, for hard physical tests. Wyllys Baird recalls vividly a day when Luther Bradley challenged him to walk from the north end of the La Salle Street tunnel to Evanston. They did it that afternoon by dinner time. Thirty years later the same Luther, again with a dauntless companion, rowed a boat from the mouth of the river to Wilmette without dropping oars. ”

“ It may be passed over quickly in favor of the greater period to come, when, following some years of cartoon work on other Chicago newspapers, he joined, in July, 1899, the staff of The Daily News.
THE man who came among us then cannot be forgotten. He was forty-six years old, and might very properly have been gray-haired and sedate. Instead he was one of the most dynamic, quick-spoken and athletic beings ever seen in a newspaper office. His hair was solid dark brown, brushed up in a defiant pompadour. ”

“ We are transcribers not interpreters of work, so to successfully proofread and validate a work the community has set up our guidance to that process. Anyone is welcome to take the work and to interpret it somewhere else. ”

“ Tent life did not end for them until the rattlesnakes came out at the end of winter and insisted on sharing their living quarters and drinking water from the same spring.
On returning to Chicago Mr. and Mrs. Bradley lived in Evanston for some years, but in 1909 they built a home in Wilmette, on the lake shore. There are four children: Francis, John Freeman, Sarah Elizabeth, and Margaret.
In Wilmette were passed what must have been Luther Bradley's most precious years. ”

“ The same problems I saw also on other pages, and today I tried fixed them, for example—on the front page of the same 2010 Special 301 Report, in edits: first page and second page, and it seems that this works—now the frint page is displayed properly.
Are these issues some problems of the Mediawiki engine? If so—may someone register bug on the Mediawiki developers (if it has not been registered yet) ? Or Mediawiki works fine, but the help page Help:Page breaks is somewhat obsolete and needs to be updated, or it's just me that I missed something and did something wrong on that formatting? ”

“ I have been gently asking for some time for someone to build a labs tool that could excise the front page, and replace it with a blank page.
