This cartoon depicts **President Theodore Roosevelt** (identifiable by his distinctive mustache and glasses) as the Kaiser, smoking a long pipe and holding a rifle aimed at a sleeping figure labeled **President Roosevelt**. The sleeping figure wears a hat marked "Esteem" and shoes labeled "Anger." The smoke from the Kaiser's pipe contains text reading "Whenever I stir, I am scared by nations" and other phrases suggesting international tensions. The cartoon satirizes Roosevelt's foreign policy and imperial ambitions, suggesting he may be sleepwalking into dangerous international conflicts. The "Wake Up!" caption warns of unintended consequences of aggressive militarism. The dual Roosevelt imagery emphasizes the contradiction between his domestic and foreign personas during the height of American imperialism.
