What you’re looking at

This page primarily consists of **advertisements and light satirical verse**, not political cartooning. The main satirical content is "The Wooden Indian" poem, which uses the literal wooden Indian statue (a common fixture outside tobacco shops) as a metaphor for moral criticism. The poem contrasts the wooden Indian's passive innocence—never lying, gambling, or seducing women—with its complete uselessness to society. It "never gave a hungry dog so much as one small bone" and never helped the poor. The concluding stanza extends the satire to actual people: the poet observes "wooden Indians" walking the streets—people who are morally blameless but utterly indifferent to others' suffering. This appears to critique a certain type of respectable citizen who maintains personal virtue while remaining socially callous. The rest of the page contains period advertising for automobiles, pens, whiskey, and house-building plans—typical Judge magazine commercial content.

THE WOODEN INDIAN. Behold the wooden Indian, Who stands outside the door And guards, with frown and hatchet, The old tobacco store. He never beat a grocery bill, He never told a lie, He never took a longing look At bourbon, fizz, or rye. Behold the wooden Indian, ‘A mass of oak and paint ; He never made a crooked move— In faith, he is a saint. He never bought a stack of chips And sat in any game ; He never rushed a chorus-girl, Or flirted with a dame. Behold the wooden Indian, Who, on the other hand, Was never known to help the poor That fill our glorious land ; Who never heard the piteous cry Of him who starved alone— Who never gave a hungry dog So much as one smail bone.
