What you’re looking at

# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains multiple editorial commentaries and cartoons addressing early 20th-century political topics: **"Laid-Up Treasures"** (top photograph): Shows men in a rowboat, apparently illustrating a comment about Mr. Van Cogh's manners and reserved behavior. **"No Heaven Around Here"** (text section): Discusses war and civilization, arguing that perfect civilization is impossible because war and conflict are necessary constants. The passage suggests that without strife, life becomes stagnant. **"The Advantage of Facial Extensiveness"** (bottom cartoons): Two nearly identical sketches showing wreckage/destruction, with captions by "Joe Melick" and "Tim Crough" making jokes about pipe smoking and survival—likely satirizing differing perspectives on the same disaster. The overall tone reflects Judge's typical satirical approach to contemporary social and political commentary, though specific historical references require additional context.

OMETIMES the editor of the Albany Times starches ruffles in his temper, and they scratch his ability and good nature out of all semblance to their natu- ral strength and placidity. Good man and journalist, this must not be. HE REPUBLICANS were not prepared for reciprocity when it was urged by Vresident Arthur and Secretary Frelinghuy- sen; but the conditions have changed since then, and the Republicans are always in harmony with the conditions,—St Louis Globe Democrat. No; Mr. James G. Blaine had not told them it was all right as long ago as when Arthur was president. —Albany Times.

ARE QUITE puzzled over the great Democratic questions wheth- cr the tariff bill is a McKinley or a Blaine bill, whether its passage will be a Reed or a McKinley victory, and whether the reciprocity part of t counts for Blaine or the speaker or somebody else. It is a consoling reflection, however, that it is a Republican measure and the'kind of bill the people have demanded; and in view of that perhaps that other great Democratic question, whether the Maine leaders will tear each other to pieces, may be looked upon with some slight equanimity.

Yea, and verily; but during these thousands of years there has not been a perfect state of civilization, and war and smaller quarrels are as necessary to life and ambition as air and misery. When there is no war there will be no life; and when there is a church that does not quarrel with itself it will perish of its peace. Let a man reach perfect contentment and satisfaction, and the very next day he will be put in a box that he may go to a climate adapted to that situ- ation. Because he does not belong here.
