# Page 67: Judge Magazine Political Commentary This page contains several satirical pieces critiquing American politics and society circa early 20th century. **"Cool But Not Collected"** mocks a nervous tax collector unable to extract payment from a debtor. **"The Fatal Virtue"** discusses Mary of Teck (wife of Prince George), praising her industriousness but sarcastically warning that women who engage in needlework and produce news stories risk creating "bunions and all manner of unhappiness." **"Some Literary Harmony"** criticizes literary critics, suggesting they escaped a Chicago literary convention but deserve criticism themselves. The page's cartoons satirize bureaucratic incompetence, gender roles, and intellectual pretension typical of Judge's social commentary. The specific political figures or events aren't clearly identifiable from the text provided.
