What you’re looking at

This page contains political commentary and humorous editorial content from Judge magazine. The main articles address: **"War Against the World"** - Satirizes Japan's declaration of war, questioning the absurdity of tiny Japan declaring war on the entire world rather than specifically on China. **"Peace in the Philippines"** - Comments on Filipino leaders accepting peace terms, noting Aguinaldo's absence from negotiations. **"An Unavoidable Responsibility"** - Critiques Democratic opposition to U.S. involvement in China, arguing that protecting American citizens there is an inescapable duty. **"Rest, Recreate and Live"** - Advocates for government officials' vacation time and proper rest, arguing that overworked officials become vulnerable to corruption and poor judgment. The bottom cartoon, "Rank Infidelity," depicts a divorce lawyer scenario using nautical metaphor as wordplay about spousal faithlessness.

It 1s apparently desired that Uncle Sam shall play the part of a mouse there as elsewhere. FOREBODINGS of loss are al- ready afflicting the friends of the Paris exposition. Couldn't they induce Mr. Dreyfus to come home and put himself up as a spectacle— or would he be mobbed? ARRESTS OF WOMEN for bet- ting on horses continue, while men who bet on horses are let alone. ‘There ought to be a few suits for false imprisonment, not to mention a few horsewhippings. Copyright, 190, by Judge Company, ST LOUIS is the only town in the United States that would strip wo- men naked and beat them even in the agitation of a street-car strike. Chicago can boast that she never reached such depravity as that. A MAN in St. Louis wants a divorce because his wile loves the ghost of Billy Florence. The wife, since the street-car strike, would have a better cause for divorce in the fact that her husband makes her live in St. rt il {wt “i sai It IS THOUGHT that Brother - WAR AGAINST THE WORLD. CONSIDERING that little Japan had no trouble in whipping four hundred millions of Chinese, the absurdity of the latter in declaring war against the world is rather pronounced. Perhaps it would have been better to make the declaration against Mars and the rest of the universe. PEACE IN THE PHILIPPINES. PROMINENT FILIPINOS of Manila have held a formal meeting to con- sider terms of peace, and have unanimous- ly accepted those offered by the president. Aguinaldo was not present for obvious reasons, but Sefor Paterno is convinced that he will likewise accept. So that one issue of this campaign is likely to be swept away before the campaign begins. Copyright, 1920 by Judge Company. AN UNAVOIDABLE RESPONSIBILITY. PD OUBTLESS those Democratic mugwumps will oppose the adminis- tration’s action in taking the part of civilization in China; but what kind of a government is that which does not protect its citizens abroad, or, failing in that, doesn’t avenge their assassination? The world also needs the dismemberment of China, which cannot govern itself or give safety to Americans whose duty it is to be in China. To run away from China at this time would be to invite the elimination of Uncle Sam from the list of nations. REST, RECREATE AND LIVE. WE RECALL CASES of several county and small- er and larger treasurers who were re-elected term after term, and who were finally found to have default- ed in large amounts and paid the penalty in the peni- tentiary. Those men should have prayed to be deliv- ered from temptation and should have resigned. The civil-service law kept them in position, their books were not examined, and they were tempted too far. There is no man or woman who doesn't need a change.

The vacation brightens him, his honesty and his work; and if he is too stingy to take it there may reasonably be a suspicion that the investigation attending his absence would be danger- ous to his welfare. Men are not machines. They need rest and they must have it or prematurely wear themselves out. While the Recreation number of the JUDGE is being read there should be idleness enough to read it leisurely ; and the idleness must be alternated with play or the man will not live out half his days. m7 ——— RANK INFIDELITY.
