This page contains editorial commentary rather than political cartoons. The main illustrated piece, "Both Sides of the Question," depicts a horseman (labeled "Richard Halliburton") in conversation with a farmer, with the caption suggesting disagreement about whether to "make a horse a horse." The text sections are brief satirical commentary on contemporary issues: Italian financial troubles, President Wilson's federal appointments, labor disputes, ocean conservation, and social matters like women's fashion and university entertainments. The horseman illustration appears to reference Richard Halliburton, likely the famous adventurer/traveler. The "horse" dialogue seems to be wordplay commentary on practical versus romantic views—typical of Judge's light satirical approach to social and political topics of the era.

TALY NEEDS WAR in order to get herself out of financial trouble. All she asks is that two or more other nations shall begin and carry out the disturbance, she to add her mite to one of the belligerents for a stipulated sum. Destruction is not the best financial policy even in Eu- rope; but it is quite as reputable as demanding indemnity for the hanging here of Italian law-breakers who are a curse to any country they live in. HIS FACIAL FELICITY. THE SMILE of Jerry Rusk is largely hidden by his mustache and whiskers; but such of it as is observable is passingly sweet, resem- bling in some of its details a rift of red sunshine through a cloud of snow. Its proportions are generous as to length and breadth, and a side view of it invariably brings forth utterances of delight and surprise. The rear view is disappointing, but that is because your Uncle Jerry smiles only with his countenance, leaving his back hair to take care of itself. THE SIXPENNY FEDERAL OFFICES. A PRESIDENT makes ten enemies to one friend by every one of his nominations. It-is amazing that he should ever get a second nomi- nation, The selection of office-holders is his greatest burden, and in many instances brings him no thanks. It is toa large extent below the dignity of his place. He should have more important things to think of than the filling of small offices. The federal appointing power belongs by common acceptance to the senators and representatives. We do not care to drive them crazy, but might not the president and his cabinet be re- lieved of it altogether ? OUR NOBLE PARTISANS. ONE WEEPS as one recalls the pretty little booms that have passed out; but “the man who is mentioned for the nomination” is finally enabled to go to sleep with- out the agonizing expectation of being awakened by cheers and the brass band. It is one of the bless- ings of this country that anybody can yearn for the presidency with- out being absurd; and it is a com- pliment to the average citizen that, once the conventions have pro- nounced against his ambition, he is as willing to tear his shirt and beat his breast for the successful indi- vidual as if he had never thought of the honor for himself. My kingdom for a horse !"* THE WORLD'S BETTER TWO-THIRDS. It Is A GREAT THING that the ocean cannot be used as a power for the mere turning of wheels, It cannot be blackened by any manu- facturing process, and its inhabitants are safe against the chemical deviltry to which enterprise gives over the ordinary creek and brook. It is all there, fresh and grand and booming as at the beginning, and with new glories every hour of the day and night; and time and human ingenuity shall never contract its glorious depth or its vast expanse. Oh, sing the praises of the ocean! Give poems to its clams, its beach, its fish, its coolness, its majesty, its peace, its half-clad girls, its music of the storm, its restfulness under the shining sun and the blue skies. FISH NOW. THE WORLD has a kindly feeling for the man who fishes, not unat- tended with a smile and a deprecatory glance because of that weak- ness; but-what cares he? It is not his pride to catch fish; they are merely accessory to the outing. He wants his boat, his field, his sky and a cer- tain expanse of water, not to mention his bite and his bait, with perhaps a summer shower or two, and there is he! For ten hours he is a king, heedless and happy and vulgar as a tramp, with the hunger of a wood- chopper and a succeeding sleep as sweet and refreshing as a babe’s. Does he catch fish? Poor selfish, calculating soul! what have fish to do with it? Assuredly he doth have them, however, and by the bushel; and the bite of that large one that got away will thrill him to the latest hour of his life and teach him that he hath not lived in vain. comicbooks.com
