# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page **Top Cartoon: "The Brave Are Tender"** A colonial-era figure (likely representing an American missionary or diplomat) encounters a man in top hat labeled "KEEP OUT DRY" (possibly representing commercial interests or a colonial power). The dialogue references sending a "brave" missionary and questions about bravery. This satirizes the contradiction between missionary work's noble rhetoric and practical self-interest in colonial expansion. **Middle Section: "Teddy'll Do It for You"** A poem praising Theodore Roosevelt's capability to solve various national problems (wars, strikes, economic issues). This reflects Roosevelt's contemporary reputation for aggressive intervention and expansive executive power during his presidency. **Right Section: "The Czar Having a Good Time"** Describes Tsar Nicholas II's leisure activities during WWI peace negotiations, mocking his apparent indifference to serious diplomatic matters during wartime.
