# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page from Judge magazine contains satirical commentary on several contemporary issues, though the exact date is unclear from the OCR. **"Self-Appointed Critics"** attacks prominent New York moral crusaders—specifically clergymen T. De Witt Talmage and Howard Crosby, plus Anthony Comstock (the notorious anti-vice activist)—for opposing a "Passion Play" production. Judge argues these men don't represent the city's actual intelligence or morality, and sarcastically suggests their interference demonstrates "bigotry." **"The Jews in Congress"** employs crude antisemitic caricature, mocking the supposed rise of Jewish political influence. It uses offensive stereotypes (three-ball pawnbroker imagery, Yiddish dialect) to ridicule the imagined prospect of Jews controlling Congress, suggesting they'd replace American symbols and conduct with Jewish ones. **"Remove Colonel George Bliss!"** and other sections discuss municipal politics and patronage disputes. The page reveals Judge's era as one where antisemitism was considered acceptable satire alongside critiques of actual public figures like Comstock.
