What you’re looking at
This page contains two main editorial cartoons addressing early 20th-century concerns: **"The College Man"** (top) satirizes college students' frivolous behavior and their contributions to humor magazines. The text defends Judge against accusations of mocking college life, arguing the publication actually respects educated youth while gently ridiculing their antics. **"Time to Do Something"** (bottom) depicts industrial waste and deforestation, with Judge—personified as a stern authority figure—confronting two men amid logs and a pulp mill. The caption warns about "wasteful destruction," suggesting the cartoon protests environmental degradation and resource depletion caused by industrial expansion, particularly logging operations. Both pieces reflect Judge's self-positioning as a voice of social criticism targeting both upper-class frivolity and industrial excess.

BACK NUMBERS» Prese ordering a ¢ THE COLLEGE MAN. NE WHO is connected with a magazine of humor must, of necessity, take a humorous view of the college student. The man who does such brilliant work as half-back on the college team is made to fail when it comes to playing “* Whoa! back !’’ with the “arm team, simply that a laugh may ve provoked. All sort of fun is made of college yells. Even the poor college professor, who in humor is always absent-minded, comes in for his share of amusing blunders. Daniel Webster appeara in the role of a brilliant statesman because some of his orations read like the essays of the “dear girl graduate"? at commence- ment time. Jupce is accused of doing all these things, and as we are “‘ caught with the goods,’’ the plea of guilty is entered, Deep down in our hearts, however, we have great respect for the college student, even though we do make a good deal of fun at his expense. Taken as a ow FLOMRIZ ‘TIME TO DO eat, 10 cents per copy: 1907 hte weeks must whole, we know of no finer crowd of young men and young women than that found at our American institutions of higher education. We trust that this confession will be sufficient to those wearers of the cap and gown who have written us such interesting letters pro- testing against the treatment accorded the college student in our columns. RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED. HE BOY who brings the mail (when he can lift it), sweeps out the office (once a month), feeds the cats (occasionally), washes the windows (once a year), spills ink over proof sheets (daily), goes to his grandmother's funeral (frequently in the summer), tells the spring poets that the editor is out (when he is in), and in the country newspaper office is known by a name which we do not like to mention too often—this boy, simply because he saw our cover design, has the presumption to ask that we dedicate this number to him. As he threatens to sue us for using his portrait in our advertising columns without his permission, and as we do not feel like defending asuit against his father, who is the ** Prin yers,"” we are going to grant his request, and affectionately dedicate this number of June to the printer's devil.
