# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The central cartoon depicts three men in period dress labeled "FITTING REPRESENTATIVE." The dialogue suggests they're discussing political representation and elections, with references to "First Selectman" choosing candidates. The satirical commentary throughout critiques: - **Political corruption**: References to Campbell's election expenses and concerns about defeat - **Military issues**: Comments on the Kaiser and fighting predecessors' battles - **Gender politics**: Sections titled "ETHICS AND CORN" and "THE BOOTH METHOD" discussing women's roles and suffrage - **Social issues**: Articles on life insurance fraud, generosity dangers, and women pioneers The page reflects Progressive Era concerns about representation, women's participation in public life, and political accountability. Without clearer date markers visible, the specific election or event referenced remains unclear, but the satirical tone targets establishment political practices and social hypocrisy.

Adams thar. know nothin’ Ske him tew th’ legislatur’,” But, as they are wont to remark in Germany, the thing is to keep it there. A WOMAN says that to win a man you must get him to talk about him- self, And we suppose that to win a woman you must get her to talk about her neighbors. WE LOOK upon the Wayne-county man who stabbed himself with a fork as far worse than he who eats pie with a knife. persons who can never learn, There are A CAVALRY DIVISION of the salvation army is to be composed of assies. So, then, the adage will be, and she will ride to paradise. THERE WERE four lynchings in California in one day, and only one in Kentucky; but we must remember that the Kentuckians are so ated about politics that they forget some things. Put a woman on horseback THE REMARK of Carmen Sylva, that a woman's virtue ought to be great since it frequently has to suffice for two, has a smart sound ; but, after all, it would be pointless but for the wickedness of woman.

HE QUESTION is asked. “Can a beautiful woman still look beautiful when eating corn from the cob?” During the green-corn season the question is impertinent and cannot be considered. If the lady in question is in her right mind and has the appropriate digestive apparatus her sole reply will be, “It is a grand, sweet song. Give me another ear.” INFLUENCE OF THE WHEEL. RUNKENNESS and bicycling do not go together; and again it is estimated that the wheel has reduced the sale of cigars some seventy million in one year. The temperance and anti-tobacco societies are there- fore in a state of rejoicing: but the railroads are melancholy because the wheel has greatly reduced their income. We know not whether to whoop for reform or weep for the woes of business. JOHN AND THE MISSIONARIES. CLERGYMAN in Pittsburg says he has never known a Chinaman to be thoroughly converted, though he is familiar with the efforts of the Sunday- schools in that direction, We certainly know that the work of the missionaries produces hatred and murder as well as conversion, and it isa fair proposition whether the life of one white woman isn’t bet- ter than the conversion of a hundred remorseless brutes. THE DANGER OF GENEROSITY. LIFE-INSURANCE is responsible for much of our most unnatural murder; but on the other hand the insurance companies are among our best deiectives. There are a dozen cases now before the public which show that the protection provided for relatives is provocative not only of grat- itude, but of avarice and crime. And the worst of it is that there is no rem- edy except in the production of a new article of human nature. A LITTLE ROYAL WISDOM. THE DUKE OF ORLEANS gives up his fight for the lost throne of France. Perhaps the republic has breathed easily notwithstanding the claims of his family for so many years : but it will now be saved the several annoyances and the few spasms of fright. by which it has been afflicted every three months. It is very kind in the duke; but we suppose there is nothing to prevent the foolishness and loyalty of his political nurses. A LONELY PIONEER. LUCY B. GRIFFIN of Albia, Onio, put herself in knickerbockers and rode a horse astride to make calls on her lady friends, Undoubtedly this lady will go into history as the most daring of women pioneers; but the la- dies on whom she called fled in dis- may and went out of their several back doors with more than the speed of a It is painfully evident that most of the women of this period lack the courage of their convictions, if they happen to have some, ENTATIVE, cou-fer-nothin’ Eph walking-match. WANTED—A MIRACLE, HEN THE MAJORITY succeed the minority condemn the majority on the ground that they are not sufficiently honest or intellectual They have quantity without quality. There must be some way to get these things together, though it is a lamentable fact that they have been separated ever since they began. Otherwise we must become a county, a state, or a nation of mugwumps, with nothing settled except the choice of Weapons, man against man. THE BOOTH METHOD. MBS: BALLINGTON BOOTH condemns the gowns of the new wo- man, and wants to cut up the balloon sleeve and give it to the poor. For the books read by the new woman she has only the liveliest contempt and would heap them together and burn them. Then, to complete the reform, she would get the new woman a strong-willed, loving husband and give him full control of her. Really, the good lady begins at the wrong end of the business.
