# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains political commentary and satirical pieces typical of early 20th-century Judge magazine. The main cartoon titled "Too Effective" depicts two men in what appears to be a pharmacy or apothecary shop, with one asking about "the easiest way to commit suicide." The joke plays on cyanide of potassium as a poison. Other brief satirical items target contemporary figures: Colonel Bryan (likely William Jennings Bryan), Mr. Croker (political boss of New York), and Mark Twain regarding diplomatic representation abroad. The page criticizes politicians' competence and behavior, using humor to comment on American politics and society. Without specific date information visible, the exact historical moment remains unclear, though references suggest early 1900s American political discourse.

REAT COMPLIMENT to Colonel Bryan—His name wasn’t once mentioned at the ten-dollar dinner. R, CROKER owns New York, and that is why certain questions as to its management are his private business. OMEZ is ignorant of politics, and he is likely to get just the little polit- ical knowledge that will presently make him a dangerous thing. HE TESTIMONY of Shafter perhaps furnishes an explanation of the kind of meat upon which this our Caesar feeds that he hath reached that great circumference. HE STATEMENT that William C. Whitney has made a hundred millions in six years might seem to indicate that Mr. Whitney is pre- paring to run for president. OLONEL WOOD says the Cubans are capable of self-government: and if that is the case the time will come when they will insist upon it through the great virtue of annexation. NSULT to r T emma Nevada, American prima- donna, at Seville, shows that the Spaniards can fight, after all, All they want is to select the enemy and choose the weapons. CARTER HAR. RISON says he wouldn't accept a nomination for president if he were offered it on a silver platter, See here, WL young man! that [WAR has been said so often that it is plat- tertudinous, WHEN AGYP- SY gives a father a farm worth forty thousand dol- lars for his son, as was done in Indi- ana, the son to serve her as a husband, one feels that the * * WILD-EYED MAN- period of prosperity Ducaist (dryly), is right here. WILD-EYED MAN—’ Hum—y TOO EFFECTIVE ri = * What's the easiest way to commit suicide?” “Cyanide of potassium.” ; but don't you think that is a little too sure?” NOT TOO FAST. CHICAGO went crazy the other day over Gov- ernor Roosevelt. The people frequently mentioned him for president, however, and that was characteristic but unwise rapidity. The governor is young yet, and the second place on the next national ticket will fit him exactly. THE OTHER SIDE. THERE ARE WHIS- PERS in defense of Alger, and they come from good sources, one of them from Edward Marshall, the correspondent who was so badly hurt at San- tiago. That side of the matter is slow to assert itself, there being no po- litical or other plot or in- ducement to make itself felt. AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY. GUINALDO cut off the heads of those of his followers who dis- agreed with him, and ar- gued that a desire for peace was high treason. ‘The young man after his assumption of power got on too rapidly. His opinion of himself so grew that it would have taken the money of a king- dom to buy him off. THE THREE MUSKET-TEARS. THE CROKER STYLES. THE BAD GRAMMAR of Mr. Croker ought to endear him to his party, which has the belief that correct English is an affectation and melancholy evidence of a desire to put on airs. Still, there is not enough of the virtue to reconcile the horny-handed to a continuous display of clean shirt and the spike-tailed coat. AMBASSADOR TWAIN. MARK TWAIN wants our representatives abroad to wear gold braid and have their salaries doubled. Since this man paid his debts he carries the airs and feathers of a mill- ionaire. We don't know which ambas- sadorship he wants, but it must be in- sisted that he shall not fix the emolu- ments of it until he gets it. THEIR STANDARD- BEARER. THE DEMO- CRATS can- not very well get their candidate for president from the victorious generals of the Philippines because they have opposed the war and cried out with scorn against ex- pansion. Still, they have caten their words before now, ASS RS and principles and SAN WS banquets are \ strangely mixed. But they can have General © Miles if they want him, if anything shall hap- -pen to Mr. Bryan. comicbooks.com
