# Political Cartoons from Judge Magazine This page contains several satirical sketches commenting on early 20th-century American politics and social issues: **"A Dramatic Dispatch Episode"** depicts a domestic quarrel between a colonel's wife and her husband over his absence during a duel with Don Colorado Maduro and Rum Cigaro—likely satirizing sensationalized war reporting. **"Plenty of Wind"** mocks a Spanish official who submitted an article to the U.S. about having ceded Cuba, with the editor responding that "whistling" won't accomplish the goal—commentary on Spanish-American War diplomacy. **"Thoroughly Anglicized"** critiques wealthy Americans who adopt English mannerisms and pretensions, viewing themselves as superior to common countrymen. The lower sketches address urban social commentary, though specific references are unclear without additional context.

Swords or pistols ?” THOROUGHLY ANGLICIZED. Warwick —“ The Throckmortons are get- ting too confounded, English for anything. They take London papers exclusively, dress English and talk about ‘the prince’ until it is a relief to hear a country loafer give his opinion on how to conduct wars. They have their windows stained foggy so that when any one looks out through them the streets look like those in London. I could stand all that, but, I don’t visit there any more. The last time I was there I'll be blamed if their anglomania hadn't developed to such an insane degree that they kept a large waste-basket standing in the hall-way.” Wickwire—“I don't see anything English in that, What was it for?” Warwick—" Oh, visitors were expected to drop their h's in it on entering the house.” OIE helps progress, but doesn’t make it A MARTYR TO CIRCUMSTANCES AND GUGGENHEIMER.
