What you’re looking at
This page contains three satirical pieces. The central cartoon, "A Revised Popular Idol," depicts a grotesque figure labeled "Teddykins" sitting atop a pedestal inscribed "The God-of-Things-As-They-Ought-To-Be." This appears to mock Theodore Roosevelt through exaggeration and unflattering caricature, suggesting criticism of his idealistic rhetoric or policy positions. The surrounding articles—"Sportsmen," "Personal Again," "Have a Capsule on Me," and "Straw Votes and the Real Thing"—offer social commentary on contemporary issues including hunting practices, Prohibition's effects, and election polling methods. The satire targets both political figures and social trends of the early 20th century, using crude caricature and humor typical of Judge's editorial approach.
