What you’re looking at

This page contains brief political commentary and two cartoons. The top section includes satirical quips about contemporary figures: Mr. Foraker (likely Ohio politician Joseph B. Foraker), Governor Roosevelt, Alfred Austin (British Poet Laureate), and others—typical of Judge's format critiquing public figures. The main cartoon, "How Kleverguy Made His Fortune at Mannit Beach," depicts a seaside con artist ("barker") using a shell game to swindle beachgoers. The caption's pun on "Kleverguy" (clever guy) satirizes tourist gullibility and boardwalk hustle culture. The upper right cartoon shows a fisherman, likely illustrating another social observation about leisure activities. The page also includes book reviews and social commentary typical of Judge's satirical journalism covering politics, society, and culture.

ESTERHAZY and several other conspirators ought to be unanimously clevted to the vacancy created by Dreyfus when he left his cage.

GENERAL MERRITT may hug himself for being an American ¢ zen if he wants to; and how fortunate it is that he has a young w to help him at it. THE GOVERNOR of Kansas needn't call himself a fool for allowing himself to be elected governor. What kind of a fool is he in com- parison with the majority that voted for him?

In fact, we suspect that if she wants the presidency of the republic she'll simply buy it and consent to the shedding: of not an ounce of blood. Howard Gould will really be in more danger if he buys the lakes of Killarney, for the Irish talk little and tight at the drop of the hat. REFORM? A BOSTON WOMAN proposes to provide women with pockets. It looks as if this reform might fill a long-felt want, but the main thing will be to get women to use pockets after they get them. Already many women are inquiring with much curiosity, “ What is a pocket?” notwith- standing the fact that they have long known where those of their husbands are located. BRYAN THE MAN. TTHE DEMOCRACY of Pennsylvania formally recognize Bryan as their leader. The Democracy of this state would undoubtedly do so if they were to hold a convention to-morrow. The south and west are for him, and it is not too much to say that he grows in popularity every day. This being so, it is difficult to see how Mr. Croker and Perry Belmont are going to nominate Mr.Gorman. They will have to hold a little national conven- tion of their own. ‘ PRISON MORALITY. THE WEEK- LY PAPER called the Star of Hope, printed in Sing Sing pris- on and written entirely by con- viets, is largely devoted to edu- cational purpos- €s, philosophy, and essays on the wisdom of being good. All of these writers evidently were well brought up, but their morali- ty was overcome by evil propensi- ties. One poem tells us not to scorn the con- viet. Perhaps if there had been more scorn of "that person it would have been better for the A prize for the lady L c writer of it. Step right up" comicbooks.com
