# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains political commentary and humor pieces typical of Judge magazine's satirical approach. The main cartoon, titled "In Ole Virginia," depicts two men discussing a scandal where "General Bluegood disinherited his son Dick for marrying an actress." The second figure responds, "Yes; he cut him off without a dog." The joke relies on the phrase "cut off without a cent" (disinheritance), but substitutes "dog" for "cent," creating absurdist humor about Southern aristocratic values and class prejudice against actresses—a profession often morally condemned in early 20th-century America. The surrounding text pieces mock various political figures and social issues of the era, including Democrats, military matters, and contemporary scandals, employing Judge's characteristic biting wit.

HE CUP won by Iselin is not only the one that cheers but that elicits demonstrations of a like nature. ET US be generous. Let us say that the Shamrock would have beaten us but for the fatigue incident to the campaign in South Africa. YVETTE GUILBERT has had a fight with a cat, and having received several scratches on her face her appearance is much improved WILLIAM T. STEAD has demonstrated that war with the Boers is impossible; but several prematurely dead persons think they know better. PERHAPS ONE REASON why there are so many bachelors lies in the fact that a Chicago man named Farnsworth has made a syndi- cate of himself and married forty-two women. A NEGRO PREACHER at Macon, Missouri, prayed that war would break out between England and South Afri as further evidence of the etficacy of supplication ? Are we to take this A WOMAN called out to the convention of tories in Chicago the other day, “Take down that flag!” but even there the principle prevailed that after the emblem has gone up it must so remain, THE BUSIEST MAN in the world lives in Brooklyn, He says he is too busy to worry about the loss of twelve thousand dollars in money. We should think the weight of his business would crush him. MBS: FUNSTON says she would love her husband if he were a private in the rear rank. Perhaps. but we warn the general to stick to every feather he has won, even the one she wants to wear in her bonnet. Miss ANTHONY exhibits a flag with only four stars, those being the stars of the states which permit women to vote. Let the committee on treason investigate at once, It is as bad to haul down the stars as the entire outfit. IF SOMEBODY will read Carl Schurz’s speech against impe- rialism he may find it as interest- ing as the Schurz speech charging Grant with having appointed thir- teen of his relatives to office; but the man who went through that died. SECOND NaTIVe— THE DREYFUS PLANS. THE DREYFUS TRUNK was seen in nine different towns of Europe the other day. This is good evidence as to where Dreyfus will go, and it will be remembered that we predicted it long ago. There is no place so isolated that it doesn’t possess at least one of our sleuth reporters. ! HELPS TO LOCOMOTION. JEALousy and desire for revenge inspired one New York woman to beat another at century-riding. The woman of the first part had scornfully passed the other without speaking. If these motives are as pow'- erful as that what inconceivable distance would the second woman have covered if the first woman had hooked her sweetheart ? A NEW CHARGE, ‘THE DEMOCRATS of lowa condemn the war in the Philippines, be- lieving it to have been inspired by England in behalf of an English- American alliance. When men talk such foolishness as that they show that it doesn’t require merely the silver business to drive them crazy. No- body outside of lowa or bedlam ever dreamed of such a thing. THE GOLD DEMOCRATS. **QINCE WE indorsed Bryan,” said Mr. Croker not long since, “the wealthy Democrats have refused to help us.” Will the wealthy Democrats of the city, state and country continue in that position? Will they go further and declare that they are for sound money, and possibly for another ticket as in ‘ninety-six? Or will they vote for McKinley as the shortest, easiest road to common sense? THE RIGHT TO FIGHT. S THE. BOY that won't fight,” says Governor Roosevelt, “isn’t worth his salt.” This is a refreshing departure from the old proposition that it is well to offer two cheeks to be slapped, and it is a fact that the meek do not possess the earth, whatever they may inherit in some of the far-off ages: but it is well to insist that, while the boy may fight on provo- cation, he must not make a regular business of it. DID BLOOD WIN? ]T WOULD have been a good idea for the erews of the two yachts to change vessels and see whether it was the vessels or the men that did the business. The Spaniards had two fine fleets, and both were smashed zpparently because the Americans knew how to keep cool and how to shoot. That is really the only reasonable explanation of the total destruc- tion on one side and the total success on the other. ) a \ if Tsien teas IN OLE VIRGINIA.
