What you’re looking at

This page contains satirical commentary on contemporary political and social issues. The main cartoon depicts a figure examining a large cylindrical object labeled "JUNE 1903," likely representing a time capsule or historical record. The text columns include brief satirical quips about current events: criticism of government regulation of personal finances (Abram S. Hewitt), commentary on tariff policy and presidential power, and social critique regarding theatrical performers' treatment of children. A section titled "HOW TO SHOOT A GUN" describes a farmer's accidental discharge—likely satirizing either a recent incident or general incompetence with firearms among rural Americans. The page exemplifies Judge's style: pointed political commentary mixed with social observation, presented through both visual caricature and witty text fragments. Without specific date context, precise identification of some figures remains unclear.

HEWITT believes the time has come for governments to regulate the amount of money a man may control. Mr. Hewitt has a great deal of money himself, but he is that courageous and fair that he would stand up for fair play if that led to the loss of every dollar of it. NO SUBTERFUGE, THE PEOPLE voted that a tariff was unconstitutional and must be repealed. The president says it is unfortunate and must be. miti- gated. To the ordinary mind the conservative view is the best; but what then becomes of that majestic thing, to which the president has pledged his life, his fortune and his sacred honor, the will of the people? The ‘Sun is right. Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, the people must have their way. DOES HE HATE THE STAGE? LBRIDGE T. GERRY is merciful to such children as do not need his mercy, and merciless to those who do. He belongs to the puiritan period, and his is the kindness and the piety that kill. His zeal is not without good intentions; but be would stumble over a starving child to take from the stage one, unavoidably treat- ed with kindness, guilty of the crime of pleasing the public and thereby earning its own living. This is cruel- ty to children, and. there has been too much of it. PRECEDENT. WHY SHOULD MEN be afraid to do things ‘that“have no prece- dent? The new idea is not always to be despised, and a great many prece- dents are bad. If Noah had had the overwhelming respect for, precedent that most persons have he wouldn't have built his ark. If the Almighty had been thus afflicted we shouldn't have had Adam or Eve, or anybody or anything else. Precedent, prece- dent! Is precedent an iron-clad law? Because Cain killed Abel with a club is ita double crime to kill with poison TWery new or a revolver? HAIL, EASTER, HAIL! Tus EASTER isa resurrection from the hardest, meanest winter the country has known these many cycles and a few zons. The’ year emerges from it with mud on its shoes, with bedraggled garments, with influenza written on its inflamed countenance, with chaps on its hands, a sneeze to its utterances, and rage and misery in its blazing eyes. Wel- come, Easter! Welcome, anything that brings a change! Bring flowers if possible; roll out such of your music as has survived the grip; bring youth and beauty if you happen to have any; but for thé love of ‘heaven bring a change! We're not avaricious, That's good enough for us. HOW TO SHOOT A GUN. HERE 1S TALK of a revolution in Hawaii in bebalf of the ex-queen. But the time for these things is the moment of the emergency that invites them, and the queen's soldiery ought to have shot off its gun be- fore her-majesty had been formally deposed. The revolutionists remind one of the remarkable weapon that had a habit of hanging fire. The farmer set it at night for a woodchuck that came out of its hole at six o'clock in the morning, pulled the trigger, and went to bed. He arose at two minutes before six, and the woodchuck was coming out, but the gun didn’t go off. He ran for the woodchuck, and as it turned about and dis- appeared in the hole he hastily leaned over and caught it by the tail. Just then the weapon went off and the farmer got the charge in his rear. comicbooks.com
