What you’re looking at

This appears to be a satirical cartoon from *Judge* magazine depicting a scene labeled "Sammy Retires, and G[...]" (text cut off). The image shows a woman wearing a "Democracy" headband, appearing distressed or crying, being led away by a well-dressed gentleman in formal attire. A tiger labeled "Germany" crouches nearby. The satire likely references American political or military leadership during a period of international tension—possibly World War I era, given the Germany reference and democracy imagery. "Sammy" appears to represent American interests or leadership. The cartoon suggests anxiety about Democratic principles being compromised or abandoned as a gentleman (possibly representing a political figure) escorts Democracy away while Germany threatens. Without the complete caption, precise identification of the political figures remains unclear.
