What you’re looking at

This page from Judge magazine contains political commentary in the "Washington Notes" section by their Special Correspondent. The main topics discussed include: 1. **Tariff debate**: Discussion of ongoing Senate tariff negotiations and Attorney-General Wickersham's involvement 2. **Diplomatic corps**: A note about the diplomatic corps being entirely comprised of foreigners 3. **President Taft**: References to Taft's predilection for Yale College and the Wright brothers' airplane The large cartoon on the right depicts an ostrich with its head buried in sand, captioned "GOD HIM!" This is a visual pun satirizing an unnamed public figure or policy—likely mocking someone for ignoring obvious problems or avoiding confrontation, using the common (though biologically inaccurate) metaphor of an ostrich burying its head in sand. The ornamental header and illustrations are typical of Judge's satirical style from this early 20th-century period.

Attorney-General Wickersham is said to have been a lawyer before coming to Washington. This may account for the expert way in which he has tackled the duties of his high office. It is said that the view of this city from the Capitol dome at midnight suggests Booker Washington rather than his Excellency, General George. ‘Those who are interested in strange coincidences will be glad to learn that a crop of daisies has sprung upon the site of the tennis courts of the late administration, Senator La Follette has requested the Lib: rian of Congress to order a couple of dozen new vocabularies, to be ready for use at the next ses- sion, the old stock having been completely ex- hausted during the past three weeks, The Smithsonian Institution is advertising for sealed proposals for three hundred tons of saw- dust, to be used in stufling a consignment of rhi- noceri now en route from Africa, the trustees hav- ing decided that the Congressional Record is too inflammable and not sufficiently antiseptic for the purpose, If the tariff debate continues much further into the summer t $a fair chance that onade and iced tea will be placed upon the free list. A curious fact about the diplomatic corps which, as far as Jupcr's correspondent has been able to learn, has not yet been touched on by any of the newspapers or magazines in this country is we got to such a point that there are no Americ fit for these positions? It is feared that President Taft's well-known predilection for Yale College will result in his sub- stitution of an ultramarine band for th band at the White House next year, He already wears one on his hat. ‘The report that Mr. Andrew Skihibo is to en- dow the ambassadorship at the court of St. James with $10,000,000, upon tigation turns out to be acanard.
