What you’re looking at
This page contains several editorial pieces and a political cartoon titled "Between the Devil and the Deep Sea." The main cartoon depicts a figure labeled "Good Old Arithmetic" being squeezed between two forces—appearing to reference fiscal or economic pressures of the period. The satire critiques how competing interests (likely political or commercial) create impossible situations for ordinary calculation or honest accounting. The "Decisions from the Bench" section discusses a legal opinion about whether a "K.M." (Kingdom of Morocco or similar) maid's degree qualifies as dignified. The accompanying "Advice to Dictators" mocks Latin American autocrats appropriating European statuary and art. A "Poultry Note" jokes about a hen called "Peggy" supposedly worth $10,000—likely satirizing inflated asset valuations or speculative excess of the era. Without clearer dating, specific political figures remain unclear.
