# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The central cartoon titled "CUTTING EXPENSES" depicts two businessmen discussing cost-cutting measures. One says "Jones—What! doing your own type-writing?" The other responds "Yes. I can't afford to hire a type-writer any more." The first replies "I worried the last one I had." This satirizes the economic hardships of the period (likely post-WWI era based on magazine context), showing how even middle-class professionals were forced to economize by doing clerical work themselves. The dark humor lies in the ambiguous final line—suggesting the previous typist either quit or died from overwork—implying that even this "savings" came at human cost. The surrounding editorial content discusses political figures (Bryan, Harrison, Croker) and social issues of the era.

THE WOMEN'S LEAGUE of Chicago distributes cards, especially in street-cars, with the words, “Gentlemen, stand up and give the women your seats.” Men are timid, and it is dreadful to frighten them half to death with such a thing ds that. 2 PROGRESS? ss] IS-UP to Smith,” says the:Philadelphia Ledger. A certain pugilist was“ bested,” says the New York Sum. And“ Ferguson won out,” say all the papers. The sporting man is rapidly knocking out the language, regardless of grace, grammar and common sense, DUTY? SON of Brigham Young says the mormons are simply trying to do their duty. Possibly; but they are working too hard. It is a com- paratively easy task to win a few extra maidens; but when they proselyte and alienate other men’s wives they are too excessively industrious. THE ONLY WAY. HE CENSORSHIP in Manila had been abolished a month before anybody found it out; but the war-correspondents are still unhappy because Otis won't obey their orders. What 1s needed, as we have pre- viously suggested, is a sanguinary struggle of which they shall have the entire management. HARRISON, ALTGELD AND BRYAN. ARTER HARRISON 1s the leading Bryan man in Chicago, and they say he will run again for mayor next year at the special request of Mr. Bryan, Altgeld has in consequence gone into quiet life, it may be sus- pected at the special re- quest of Bryan too; but he will never be able to dynamite, is too radical. Why not use gunpow- der? see THE DEWEY PLAT- FORM is discussed at length by the Troy Press, and yet it amounts to only three words—"I won't run.” L&T THE FARMERS form a milk trust against this town if they want to. A scientist is at work solving the problem of cowless milk. oe F THE BOERS get hold of Cecil Rhodes he will wish he had never been born; and indeed he will have to be born over again if he is to survive the incident.

Why not?” ¢ over Hill by yan at about the THE SULTAN denies the story that he recently drowned a few women of his harem. Probably all he was guilty of was the massacre of a few hundred Christians. cee OMEBODY advertises in the London 7¥mes that he wants to sell his tle of count; and we suppose that, like the Gilbertian speculator in titles, he will throw in the graves of his ancestors. E DON’T KNOW whether Brother Chamberlain is to lose his secre- taryship, but the English government has ordered much canned beef from the packing establishments of this country. S MANY as a dozen Boston girls tried to kiss Dewey before he got out of the town, but not one succeeded. It must be dreadful to be hounded by pretty girls in that way, the imperent, dangerous things! eee A BILL providing for another legal holiday, to be called Dewey day, will be introduced in the New York legislature next winter. As we have only sixty legal holidays a year now, this one will fill a long-felt' want. CUTTING EXP!

THE BOERS doubtless compare themselves with the Americans of “seventy-six: but they must remember that there were no gold discoveries in this country at that ume. Whether the Eng- lish will fight-harder be- cause of the gold in the Transvaal they must judge for themselves ; but almost any army would. CANADA SAFE. ET US ASSURE our Canadian friends that they can send their largest army to South Africa and draft for more, and their beloved country will remain in its place, like the unambitious soil mentioned by Grover Cleveland. The only force that ever wanted it or tried to get it was the Fenian organization, and not a Fenian has been seen in this country these ten yeats. JUSTICE TO ISELIN. WORSHIP of the man who failed is generous and is deserved, but what of the man who won? Lipton is a good man, but what of Iselin? Testimonials to Lipton and hardly a mention of Iselin, though hus several successes have cost him hard money and hard thinking and a good deal of personal sacrifice? The flag owes him something. The glory was of his making. Why not a testimonial to Iselin? THE CHURCH AND THE ARMY. THE QUEEN calls upon the Almighty to be on the side of her armies and her tax-payers, with a faith equal to that of the Boers, though her prayers are’ not as numerous or as long. In the events to follow and in the conclusions reached will it be possible to say positively which set of prayers was most effective? A clergyman of this city thinks the bullets of the Spaniards and those of the Americans in the last war were directed by the Father for the most part in our interest ; but such shooting-matches are r¢ obviously cruel and unfair that it is difficult to put any faith in the information. comicbooks.com
