# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains multiple short satirical pieces and one large cartoon labeled "A Purchaser's Option." The cartoon depicts what appears to be a working-class man or laborer confronted by a woman, likely satirizing consumer transactions or labor disputes of the era. The text pieces mock various targets: Indian famine relief efforts ("The Indian Method"), lynching and racial violence ("Very Natural Fright"), political office-holding, and women's suffrage concerns. One section criticizes Chicago newspapers for attacks on their father's divorce case. The satire generally reflects early 20th-century conservative positions: skepticism toward reform efforts, concerns about women's public roles, and commentary on labor and commercial disputes. The specific political references and figures remain unclear without additional historical context about Judge's contemporary coverage.

THE STARVING PEOPLE of India joined in the jubilee by an out- burst of gunpowder in which some of their rulers were shot, and then resumed their dying. They are a rude, unthinking people, and do not know when they are well off, it is such a long time since they were. THIS IS REFORM. HEKE ARE NOT to be any hereditary office-holders in this state during the governorship of Mr. Black—that is certain. Those privi- leged persons, those political autocrats, must get down from their mag. nificence and take their chances with the common, every-day, ordinary citizen, VERY NATURAL FRIGHT. THE BLACK MEN down south who are organized against lynching have adopted their only means of self-defense; and if legal justice and no more is done to black criminals not a white man will suffer from their defensive action. For a good many innocent black men have been lynched, and it makes the survivors nervous. THE CALL OF DUTY. A FARMER in Ulster county who began a crusade against bloomers for the bicycle was waited upon by five lady cyclists and after an argument lasting five hours concluded to change his mind. But we beg to inform the five young ladies that the crusade will go right on just the same. We shall take care of it ourselves, and they can begin their argument as soon as they. choose. PROPRIETY IN CHEERS. A CLERGYMAN of Poughkeepsie condemns the recent races, and ries A comforted because the cheers of the great crowd for Cornell did not go up for the heavenly Father instead. Now the laborer is worthy of his hire and the rower of his reward; and it does seem mean to want to steal the same from either of them. And what a ridiculous spectacle this good man invites. LET US THINK OF IT, [t DOES M inconsistent to keep Chinamen out of this country, wi as that may be, and take in Hawaii with its lepers, its fifty thousand coo- lies, and a system of government that gives only three thousand of its one hundred and nine thousand inhabit- ants the right to vote, paying four mill- ion dollars for the privilege and assum- ing the debts of the country, Really, Ought not the money mentioned to come from the other side? TRADE AND DIAMONDS. HE LARGEST DISPLAYS of diamonds during the late London festivities were made by American women. It is true that we are a nation of shop-keepers, and this is the proof of it. These diamonds came from trade and most of them were honestly earned. Nobility despises trade, but it is glad to get the results of it; and will somebody point out the dividing line between the wealth that cannot be recognized as aristo- cratic because it was recently earned, and that unearned wealth which becomes noble because it is merely inherited ? POLICEMEN AS LAW- BREAKERS, S IT NOT amazing that women found in the streets of New York after ten o'clock at night are liable to arrest as bad characters, and the inno- cent and the guilty alike are locked up together and held until the follow- ing morning? Not only that, but detectives accost them, and no matter whether they'notice their impudence or not they are arrested and treated like common criminals, Still further, detectives crawl into windows of the bedrooms of respectable women, and are not shot like common thieves or worse, as they ought to be. This town ought to be made to pay very dearly for that kind of governmental outrage. comicbooks.com
