# Analysis The main cartoon at top depicts a judge or legal figure in robes, likely satirizing judicial corruption or incompetence—a common Judge magazine target. The "Between the Acts" illustration below shows well-dressed women in what appears to be a theater lobby encountering a man. The caption reads: "Beg yer pardin' ladies. I kinder lost my way 'round this 'ere theatre, but I didn't mean ter be's inter no dressin' rooms." This jokes about a man accidentally (or deliberately) wandering into women's private spaces—playing on period anxieties about improper male intrusion into female-only areas. The contrast between his rough dialect and the refined setting creates the humor. The surrounding text contains political commentary on various topics (Senate seats, office-holding, Harvard athletics), typical of Judge's satirical approach to American politics and social issues circa early 1900s.

PRESIDENT McCosh's EXAMPLE is not good. | Somebody should instruct the young men of Princeton to ignore imagined slights and to preserve a dignified bearing against small annoyances, There is a kind of venerable childishness that is not pleasing. Wave Hampton says he believes in giving office to competent and worthy black men.

THE TARIFF DISCUSSION urged by leading Democrats is not likely to be lively. For in- | stance, the Democratic talkers insist that there |can't be free trade and therefore there are no free-traders. It reminds one of the cautious pugilist who retired at the beginning of the first round.

NO LUCK IN ODD NUMBERS. Thirteen boodlers met and accepted $22,000, Perhaps they imagined for a time that they had vindicated their indifference to the odd number ; but inasmuch as two are dead, one is insane, three are informers, three are exiles, and the rest are going to state prison, it has apparently got the best of them. Look at this lay-out of boodlers and say whether it pays a man to be honest whether he has any fun or not. LET US MOVE DELIBERATELY. *“Who knows,” asks the Elmira Advertiser, “what Mr. Evarts’s views are on any of the questions which Republicans deem most im- portant?” What's the use of being in such a deuced hurry?
