What you’re looking at

This appears to be a Judge magazine satirical cartoon featuring a bearded gentleman in formal dress wielding a large shovel or spade near a harbor structure flying a flag. To his left is a demonic or monstrous figure (likely representing an opposing political force or social evil). The caption reads: "It will not be through the mouths of such as you!" The cartoon seems to depict a political figure or reformer rejecting interference from corrupt or malevolent forces in his work. The harbor setting and militant posture suggest themes of American political reform, possibly relating to port authority, labor issues, or anti-corruption efforts. The "mentors" reference in the OCR text remains unclear, but the overall message appears to champion honest governance against shadowy opposition. Without seeing the issue's date and context, the specific political controversy referenced cannot be definitively identified.
