# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page from *Judge* contains multiple satirical editorial items rather than a single cartoon. The main illustrated piece titled "DECEIVING APPEARANCES" depicts a shabby figure approaching well-dressed people on a street, with the caption crediting "Weary William" looking for work. The surrounding text items mock various political and social targets: women voting for school-board candidates, a man claiming victimhood from "expansive delusion," a dancing scandal at an Arlington club, and monopolistic trusts (oil, sugar). Later sections satirize Chinese treatment of American women and racial violence in North Carolina. The overall tone suggests early 20th-century conservative critique of progressive reforms (women's suffrage), business consolidation, and American foreign intervention.

WE BEG to suggest to the aspiring politician that he talk profusely about silver, but that he say nothing whatever. Whichever view he may take, he will presently discover that the other was far better. THE BETTER VOTE. HE WOMEN of Williamstown, Pennsylvania, voted down a woman candidate for the school-board, and elected a man in her stead. Oh let us hear no more of the proposition that women cannot vote wisely. JINGO. [F DR. NANSEN really has planted the flag of Norway at the north pole we shall regard it as an infringement of American privileges and declare war at once.

A MAN who reports that Wilkes Booth sll lives is said by his physi- cian to be a victim of expansive delusion. Are we mistaken in the suspicion that it is epidemic? There is that remarkable news that comes from Spain about Cuba; and besides some Democratic newspapers are printed every day. BEWILDERING, HE MAN had wedded a strange woman. Previous to retiring she removed a cork leg, a glass eye, a full set of teeth, and all of her hair. The man sat up a long time, puzzling himself over the question which was the bride.

Two AMERICAN WOMEN in Peking were insulted and roughly handled by Chinese soldiers; whereupon the husbands of the wo- men beat the soldiers nearly to death. The thing most to be regretted is that the husbands didn’t capture the city while they had their hands in, It might have stopped the war without regard to the action of Li Hung Chang. SOME MORE CHIVALRY. THE WASSONS of Goldsboro, North Carolina, are the only colored family in that town, The little white boys of the place have organ- ized themselves into white-caps, and pound them, male and female alike, throw bricks at them, cut their clothes in pieces, and hurt and annoy them in every possible way, They have appealed to the authorities in vain. We are sorry to be convinced that blood will tell. A NEW CHINA, THE WHIPPING of China was necessary to the progress of the world. The oldest civilization needed civilizing. The barbarity of human torture and official murder, and the humiliation of men treated as beasts of burden, had lasted too long. Now the country will have railroads and commerce with the world, education will be possible in behalf of both peace and war; and twenty years hence the Chinese may be able to turn upon Japan and give her the whipping she needs about half as much as they did theirs. comicbooks.com
