What you’re looking at

This page contains satirical commentary on early 20th-century labor and social issues. The central cartoon, titled "METHOD IN HIS MADNESS," depicts two figures in conversation—likely representing labor agitators and workers discussing strikes or labor organizing tactics. The surrounding text columns mock various political figures and movements: references to Senate strikes against a president, mentions of "general managers," and commentary on anarchist rhetoric about violence and property destruction. The satire targets both radical labor activists (depicted as dangerous agitators) and their rhetoric about violence, while also mocking government and business responses. The tone is conservative, dismissive of labor radicalism, and concerned with social disorder. Without clearer identification of specific figures or dates, precise historical references remain uncertain, but the page clearly reflects anxieties about labor unrest and radical politics of that era.

QUE HEAVENLY FATHER respects the right of arbitration, but you can't expect that of G, M, Pullman and the“ general managers.” A WRITER in the HWordd hopes that Christian love and forgiveness will be extended to the strikers. Why, man! what's the use of that? ‘They're licked. !NERAL MANAGERS" are potentates who must be ap- proached with awe. One is reminded by them of the question of the little girl who saw the board of church trustees.“ Ma,” she said, “is them God?” SOMEBODY in Brooklyn said Dr. Funk of the Voice was a Tittle tin god on wheels, and likewise that he had a brass halo. Such irrever- ence is enough to make one’s blood rua cold with the thermometer at ninety-nine in the shade.

THE RIGHT TO BE HEARD. ¢s\JOTHING TO ARBITRATE” is an expression of contempt that ought to belong to no business transaction, and courtesy belongs as much to the employed as to the man who employs. That ought to be understood tn government like this, whose expressions in behalf of labor and independence appear in half its public documents, TRUST IT NOT. ULLET-PROOF CLOTH may be all right, but it must be suggested that nobody who wears it had better subject himself to any greater danger than that carried around by a target company. We know what armor-plate is, and the gun that goes off by accident has as yet met noth- ing to offer the least resistance to its deadly ammunition, THE OTHER SIDE. ITCH INTO DEBS if you want to; but it is not entirely unreason- able, inasmuch as men do not starve themselves for fun, to remember that injustice and certain autocratic airs on the part of Pullman and capi- tal made Debs possible. It really is annoying to be willing and anxious to work hard and not be able to ean enough to feed your hungry family. PERSONS WHO CAN’T BE SPARED. RS. HALLIDAY, who murdered several persons, including two women, will not be executed because she is crazy. even if she kills a dozen more persons a thousand times better than herself, She will be preserved with the utmost care, like Mr. Pomeroy of Boston, who has killed two or three of his keepers since he began his sentence of imprison- ment for life. SOVEREIGNS, COME DOWN. THE RHETORIC of the seaders of labor flies too high, It makes them and their followers ridiculous. “The iron heel and “the golden gob- lets. of the corporations” are expres- sions of such poets as are too cheap to be robbed, Labor doesn’t want the plumage of the dizzy bird wherewith to clothe itself, but would clutch the meat thereof for the needs and consolation of its intetior department. THE DIGGS-LEASE IMBROGLIO, DIGGS called Mrs. Lease a liar in a public discussion in Kan- sas, and the latter retorted with sting- ing bitterness. Luckily there was no fight, but Diggs had to be kept away from her opponent by force. Let us a call the attention of these ladies to the senatorial article of courtesy, which permits no violence and merely allows the disagreeable person to talk the senate and the country to death. THE FORTY- FIFTH. [LJTAH.COMES IN ostensibly without polygamy, and therefore may be an improvement on the Dakotas, which furnish unequaled facilities for divorce; but there are doubtless many families in Utah too large to be entirely legitimate, and there are male Mormons who are as unprincipled as if they were born and brought up in Chicago. On the whole we sus- pect that the last state is worse than the original thirteen. THE GOSPEL OF THE ASSASSIN. THE ANARCHIST believes it is his privilege to kill. Governments must not kill, or he will kill more by way of revenge. That is his law, and all other law is tyranny. He asks society to come down to his filth and violence or, as far as he can, he will kill society. What does the safety of decent people demand when this man goes about armed with the worst destructive that science knows? Must it wait till he throws his bomb? ally Ann, Mose? She's jes’ THE UNPROTECTED FEMAL! A WOMAN who had beer dismissed by her employer lashed his face with a whip. , Perhaps it was a new kind of strike, and in that view it suggests wholesale destruction as soon as the women-workers have got themselves organized after the manner of the male unions. Happily there are not very many employers to lash, and it may be hoped that the women-strikers will not begin to destroy property and kill government soldiers until early in the next century. comicbooks.com
