What you’re looking at
This page contains several satirical pieces typical of early 20th-century American humor: **"Assorted Politicians"** mocks the fragmentation of both major parties. General Sherwood's Republican classifications ("Regular regulars," "Insurgent insurgents") humorously suggest internal party chaos. The text extends this to Democrats, listing factions like "Joe Bailey Democrats" and "J. Pierpont Morgan Democrats"—references to actual political figures whose names became shorthand for competing ideologies within their party. **"Strictly on the Square"** jokes about women's fashion (the "hobble skirt" craze of the 1910s), with professionals being those accustomed to wearing restrictive skirts. **"Certainly"** is a mild double-entendre about hand-clapping. The **bottom cartoon** shows a woman scolding a drunken man who claims he was "playing more" and became the "Swiss cheese"—likely a non-sequitur joke about alcohol-impaired reasoning. The page is otherwise dominated by **period advertisements** for whiskey, hotels, and beach resorts—the commercial foundation of Judge's publication.
