# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page 167 This page contains political commentary and social satire typical of early 20th-century Judge magazine. The top illustration depicts a social gathering where characters discuss scandals and gossip ("Gossip from the race-track," references to New York transit, lotteries, and Republican politics). The bottom illustration, captioned "Danger Ahead," shows what appears to be a domestic scene with working-class figures, touching on poverty and labor concerns. The dialogue mentions property taxes and senatorial representation, suggesting critique of how political leaders (specifically "Calvin," likely Calvin Stewart or similar Ohio politician) neglect working citizens' economic struggles. The various text snippets satirize contemporary issues: wealth inequality, inadequate school funding, patronage politics, and the disconnect between elected officials and ordinary constituents struggling with basic survival.

R. DEPEW, who has been mentioned for mayor of this city, says he will not accept any office for two or three years yet. The accu- racy of the time is almost as good as the emphasis of the statement. vee ORE GIRL BABIES were born during ‘63 and '73 than in any ten years since.

And when they die it is not for lack of success, but because they haven't the funds to wait for it. HEY SAY that when Chauncey warmed up at Chicago the people of the town wanted to go out on the roof and yell; but Colonel Shepard thought it might be dangerous and prevailed upon them to raise the roof from the inside. REGULATE YOUR SYMPATHY. ‘LET MR. CROKER keep cool,” says a contemporary. We recall the case of a band of men who froze to death. They kept giving advice to each other as to what to do, and the last words of the last man to die were, “Keep warm, keep warm.” It is always well to put the brightest possible face on evils, but sometimes the brightness is as inap- propriate as a jocular song at a respectable funeral. TAKE CARE OF THE SCHOOLS. E I" Is A GREAT THING that this city and a hundred other cities have not school accommodations to equal the demand for them; nothing could better indicate our progress as a people. Nothing, let us add, could go further to show the beginning of decay than the failure of the authori- ties to provide the extra accommo- dations without delay. Our schools mean our army, our tax-payers, our good citizens. When we fail to provide for them we show indiffer- ence to everything in the town, the state, and the nation that is most worth having. MATTHEW AND CALVIN. SPEAKING OF QUAY, why should, not some “paper of the people” fire a few severe wads at Calvin S, Brice for his refusal to pay taxes on certain of his property on the ground that he is not a resident of Ohio? He is a senator from Ohio, and if he doesn’t belong to that state where and how can the assessors get hold “of him? The sentinel on the watch-tower of liberty will please turn his gos- pel gun according to Matthew in the direction of Calvin, at the same time inquiring whether it- is the privilege of a law-maker to break been better understood if left un- said? n, John, an’ I s'pose we'll have to bear it.
