What you’re looking at
This page contains editorial commentary and one political cartoon titled "SQUEEZED IN WALL STREET." The cartoon depicts a figure at a desk being confronted by what appears to be a burglar or criminal demanding money, illustrating the article "THE MEANNESS OF PROTECTION" — likely critiquing tariff policies that "protected" American industries while allegedly squeezing consumers and workers. The editorial snippets mock various political figures and policies: Democratic vulnerabilities, President Theodore Roosevelt's vigor, George Gould's wealth, and labor union declarations of martial law. References to McKinley Democrats and F.V. Debs suggest this dates to the early 1900s. The overall tone is Republican-leaning satirical commentary on Democratic and labor movement politics of that era.

THE PRESIDENT of these states is no mere figure-head. He is president for business, not for show. THERE IS A NEW kind of white blackbird, and the Rochester Union calls it the McKinley Democrat.

Oh, no. Not one’s life, but that of the other fellow. A O. BUNNELL, the new president of the national editorial associa- * tion, will edit his organization so excellently that it will never, never go on strike.

A GOOD THING is silver, it may be remarked to Messrs, Reed and Lodge and some Republican conventions ; but too much of it on the back of the representative elephant would result in the collapse of that noble animal, Perhaps the right quantity is just enough—and that is a wise suggestion because none of it at all would be the omission that.is as bad as a sin, SQUEEZED IN WALL STREET, SOME IMPERILED DEMOCRATS. WE HAVE HAD horrors enough, but think for a moment of the fate of those Democratic congressmen when they go back to their con- stituents. - Happily, there is very little lynching going on now, and there is no tarring-and-feathering to speak of; but if the president doesn’t have to proclaim martial law again it will be a wonder and a mysterv CHAUTAUQUA PROGRESS. THE CIRCLE AT CHAUTAUQUA admitted Sunday newspapers recently because of intense interest in the prevailing news, That one admission establishes the right of free reading even among the worshipers and the philosophers, for there is no Sunday when interesting and impor- tant things are not happening, and ignorance of which is a thing of which to be ashamed. THE REPUBLIC FOREVER. SOME PERSONS expressed confidence in the repubiie during tne recent danger. It was quite superfluous. If this country doesn't remain a republic it will renin nothing. Underneath all excitement and all injus- tice is the solid stratum of good sense, and law and government will tri- umph because of it over all emergency. Put that in your hat and dodge the intermittent bomb. BELIEVE IN THE PEOPLE, [8 COMING ELECTIONS. the people will retire all office-holders of anarchistic sentiments, whether governors or congressmen. They have several kinds of craze in several western and one.or two southern states, but they will recover from them after a little experience. We have nearly seventy millions of people, and on the general average there is only one crank to a thousand voters, THE MEANNESS OF PRO- TECTION. A DECLARATION of martial law by the president provoked some trades- - unions to strike. “Hah!” said the ingen- uous burglar as his eyes encountered a club at his victim's bedside. “ You'd fight, would you? You'd kill me, would you, you blood-thirsty thing! I never saw such meanness. I had meant to go easy with you, but now I'll take everything in the house and shoot you besides.” A LITERARY FIEND. A GOOD STORY in a magazine invites the emotions, Having evoked those compliments to literary skill, the writer of to-day finds it necessary, in deference to his idea of art, to outrage them at the close of his dexterity. He fails to finish, or he kills every character with whom the reader is in sympathy. That. writer will be read only once, we can tell the maga- zines that. Art must have some respect for human nature, THE HIGHER GAB. T IS NOT SAFE for men to underrate the average intelligence of women, because they thereby bring themselves under rather painful discussion. Here is Miss Harriet Chedie Connor of Cornell university, who won the Woodford prize in oratory from five male competitors ; and she did it without any apparent effort and after a night at the senior ball, whefe she “danced the sun up.” Little things like that obliterate the spots of a great deal of flimsy theory. WOMEN AND WOMEN. ‘THE WOMEN who were conspicuous in the late strike were not Amer~ ican women, ‘They were the wives of imported workmen of the kind over by Pullman, and who were imported by him with the object view of cheapening labor. Some of them are as cruel as the native squaw. It is hardly worth while to consider them in connection with the suffrage question, however, because the American woman outnumbers them as the American man outnumbers the imported workman. THE GENTLER EXTREMITIES. ‘THE NEW BALLOT LAW in Kansas provides that “tne ,ower limos of the voters, as high as the knees, shall be visible from the outside of the booth while, the voter is preparing his ticket.” It has been the privilege of women heretofore to hide such curvature as may exist below the spine, and we look upon that law as deliberately designed to drive many of the sex from the ballot-box. Still, it must be admitted that oth- ers will embrace the instrument the more eagerly because of that very provision. comicbooks.com
