# Judge Magazine Satire Analysis This page contains multiple short political and social commentaries typical of Judge's satirical format. **"Playing on the Golden Harp"** and **"Crime Has No Sex"** critique Democratic Party disarray over tariffs and argue women murderers deserve equal punishment to men—rejecting sentimental calls for leniency. **"Justice for Women Too"** praises Governor Hill's actions in the Mrs. Druse case, supporting capital punishment for female murderers while mocking female activists who sought commutation. **"No Reward for John"** likely references labor movement leadership (unclear which "John"), praising a forgotten labor advocate. **"Embracing the Opportunity"** depicts two men greeting; the caption suggests hypocrisy or unexpected alliance. **"It Will Not Do"** mocks Susan B. Anthony's claim that women voters won't form independent political parties, calling this "unfortunate admission"—Judge opposes women's suffrage as destabilizing. The page reflects *Judge's* conservative editorial stance: opposing labor movements, women's rights, and tariff reform while defending traditional legal punishment and existing power structures.

Why does a team always reach a street crossing just in time to cut off a pedestrian ? 3. What is it that invariably makes a man’s shoestring untie when he is in a particular hurry ? 4. Why does a man want to sneeze whenever an impressive silence settles upon a large assembly. 5. Why does the left glove always get on the right hand the dark ? 6. Why does a collar-button, nine times out of ten, go out of the way to roll under a heavy piece of furniture? 7. Why is it that you always step out on the street just in time to meet the man you don't want to? 8, What makes the snow stick to a roof like grim death until somebody comes by for it to fall 9. Why don’t « man’s suspenders give way, sometimes, when he is humping himself in solitude ? 10. Why is it that when you are looking for ‘a newspaper of a particular date you can find every issue for the past three months except jthe one you want But the best of friends must part— 11, What makes a dog always bark at you when you are in an exceptionally snarling mood yourself ? 12. Why does your nose always begin to itch the mcment you get both hands full and can’t attend to it? 13. How does it happen that a man’s latch- key is invariably in his pocket when he comes home early and in the house when he comes home late ¢ 14. A man can carry an old stub of a lead- pencil in a pocket with a hole in it for six months, but if he buys a gold-mounted stylo- graphic pen and fastens it in his inside pocket with a patent safety holder, he loses it inside of a week—why ? 15. Why is it that when a man forgets to do something important it always comes back to him just in time to wring his very soul and 'ram his heart up into his jaws, but just too | late to rush off and do it?
