What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* magazine contains several satirical cartoons addressing early 1900s American politics and imperialism. The **top left** depicts Panama labeled on a laden donkey—likely satirizing America's intervention in Panama, possibly referencing the 1906 Roosevelt administration's involvement. The **top right** shows a figure at a "No Pass" gate marked "1906," with text about "deadheads"—apparently mocking political patronage and free passes to favored individuals. The **bottom cartoon** references the U.S. Senate and shows what appears to be political conflict, with "Tillman" visible. This likely addresses Senate debates, possibly related to tariffs or foreign policy during the Roosevelt era. The overall page satirizes American imperial ambitions abroad and political corruption at home—themes central to early 20th-century progressive-era satire.
