# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page 19 **Top Cartoon - "A Temperance Bar":** This depicts a social scene mocking temperance advocates. Miss Goodenough confronts Mr. Wellington about a "jelly trip" to the bar, expressing surprise he'd visit such a place. The humor satirizes the contradiction between temperance movement rhetoric and actual behavior—suggesting even its proponents secretly indulge in alcohol consumption. **Bottom Cartoon - "At the Possum Club Dance":** Shows what appears to be an upper-class social gathering where characters discuss staying out late. The satire likely targets wealthy social circles and their perceived hypocrisy or frivolous behavior. The page also contains serious editorial content discussing German government demands regarding Erzberger's death, American foreign policy toward criminals, and commentary on political figures like Mr. Blaine.

pe i} Hy A TEMPERANCE BAR. Miss GoopenoucH —''I'm pleased to hear you had such a jolly trip back —but—er—TI understand you laid outside the bar all last night?" WELLINGTON —"* Yes ; very unfortunate.” s GoopeNoucn—"'I'm so sorry. I always thought you were a teetofaler.” T IS UNDERSTOOD that the German government will demand in- demnity for the murder of Ruttinger, and perhaps for the suicide of Wright. ‘'T 1S SAID that “ Dolly" Ulmar married in drder to spite an old ad- mirer who had grown so indifferent to her as to actually marry some- body else. But doubtless the connubial emotion of the lady is genuine for all that, because it is new. EA ‘THE RIOTOUS Hungarians near Pittsburg, several of whom were shot by the police, have fixed upon us a fearful responsibility. Will not Austria, Russia, Germany and several other foreign powers call on us for apology and reparation? A MR. HARRISON ventures a few opinions it is urged that he must necessa- rily desire a renomination. It is dangerous for a presi- dent to have opinions, even if they are good ones; and yet it is conceivable that he can have them and still have an ardent desire for private life. A GREAT MAN—A SAFE MAN. M®- BLAINE does no bull- dozing. He is watchful in behalf of American inter- ests without being noisy or demonstrative. His courtesy to the Italian minister and his. government, and his forceful but entirely courteous argu- ment on the seal question, have shown him to be a statesman with consideration for others quite as much as for ourselves. If there ever was any jingoism in his nat- ure or his politics —and we think there never was—it has “Huh! Whaffo’ yo! hab yoal AT THE ‘POSSUM CLUB DANCE. ounsisa—"" Yow! Yo! omery brack niggah, whafo' yo! step on ma heel?” left him. He can be trusted in any emergency. He is bright, able, patri- otic and safe. He is capable of no talk or action which his countrymen will not gladly indorse. THE MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY. A CRIMINAL whose guilt is known and notorious belongs to no gov- ernment except that provided for criminals. He'is a man without a country until he is hanged or has expiated his crime in prison. The law cannot recognize anything but justice in his case, whatever the country of his birth. His flag may appeal against the injustice of his trial, if there be any ; but if there is no doubt of its justice or of his guilt the appeal has no right which the country whose laws he has broken has a right to respect. It behooves the nation which he has abandoned to interfere for him with the utmost care. His coming was an affront and a danger for which that nation is somewhat responsible. It should have protected us from his pres- : ence. It ought to have killed him or locked him up, so that he would remain at home. This country is sending to other countries no class or organization of criminals, It is receiving classes of those interesting people from Italy, England, Germany, and parts of those governments every day. They are disorganizing our methods of justice, cor- rupting our politics, and or- ganizing with gun and dagger against our system of busi- ness. We have not asked them to come. We do not want them. We ought to re- turn them, as we return pau- pers. They must accustom themselves to our ways if they stay. They are not to rule us —we are to rule them, And when they become too dan- gerous they must be put out of the way in the speediest possible manner, that being the only means to our own heels so long dat er feller takes ’em to be toes?” safety. comicbooks.com
