# "Too Much for Him" - Judge Magazine Cartoon Analysis The central cartoon depicts a woman (labeled "Edith") speaking to a man (labeled "Edwin"), with the caption explaining she's asking him to count the stars—"it's really too taxed much of an effort to count them, you know." This appears to be satirizing gender roles and intellectual capacity. The woman's request is deliberately simple and whimsical, yet the man finds it overwhelming. The joke likely mocks either male incompetence at basic tasks or, conversely, contemporary assumptions about women's limited intellectual abilities—playing on the irony that even a "simple" woman's request overwhelms the man. The satire reflects turn-of-the-century debates about gender and education referenced in the "Foolishness" section above.

THE PRESIDENT ahd Thomas B. Reed would have buried the hatchet at their last meeting, but there wasn’t any hatchet. THERE ARE NINE different kinds of Democracy in this town, and it is the platform of each to stab all the others to death. NRY WATTERSON favors expansion except as to monopolies, and those he would contract until no company be allowed to own more than a saw-mill and a corner grocery THE STORY from Samoa includes the words, “The English and the Americans fought splendidly together.” What would have been said of the man who predicted that a hundred years ago? HE SHOOTING of four negroes chained together by a mob in a Georgia town was the very ecstasy of cowardice; but we must re- member that the negroes were suspected of horse-stealing. COMPARISON with the mauser shows that the Springfield gun was the embalmed article, too, Is it not amazing that those Spanish paupers should have been better armed than we millionaires? THE FRENCH DEPUTIES want their salaries doubled on the ground that it will put them beyond the reach of temptation. We hear of a burglar who prom- ises to reform if somebody will give him a fortune. THE wi SURPLUS in Scotland | amounts to nearly forty mitl- ion gallons. That is a good country for the professional temperance men to goto. For once in their lives they would find enough to go around.

THE QUESTION, Shall women be educated to motherhood? is cénsid- ered by Helen H. Backus in connection with the question whether young men shall be educated to fatherhood. ‘There is too- much of this kind of foolish argument. Because women make good nurses shall men be educated to be good nurses too? MILES. A BROTHER of General Miles wants the general to run for president, and intimates that he has been so indifferent as to politics that either the Democrats or Republicans may properly nominate him. The Demo- crats are never for war, but they have an abiding affection for war heroes. We should think they would snap at Miles, as they did at McClellan. THE EXISTING SLAVERY. STRIKING STORY of convict life in the Georgia mines, where men are sent for trivial offenses for twenty years or for life, the state let- ting their work to contractors, introduces the later slavery, which is in urgent need of the pen of a new Harriet Beecher Stowe. This slavery is infinitely worse, and more cruel than that of the days before the war. THE ADMIRAL’S MODESTY. ADMIRAL DEWEY says modestly that he has not the training neces- sary to be a capable president. Well, who has? There is no appren- ticeship belonging to that office. The occupant of it has to learn as he goes along. Washington was not a presiden- tial apprentice, nor were Jackson, Lin- coln and Grant; but they got along very well indeed. HOW HE COGITATES. D‘ IES ANY- BODY doubt that Roosevelt would carry New if he ran for nt the ticket with Mc- Kinley? But there is another little story, “The gov- ernorship in 1900, says the Elmira Ga- zelle, “a senator ship (here appears a notable collision) in 1903, and a pres idential nomination in 1904, is a pretty close guess at the cogitations of the young man at Al- bany.” FOR HIM, comicbooks.com
