# "Opinions of the Court" - Judge Magazine Satire This page presents four political cartoons satirizing early 20th-century events: **"College Freshman"** mocks the rowdy behavior of college freshmen, referencing German university traditions. **"Turkey Gets the Boot"** comments on Italy's military actions against the Ottoman Empire, depicting Turkey being expelled. The text references the Italo-Turkish War and mentions 220,000 losses for the Ottoman Faith. **"The Democratic Totem Pole"** stacks grotesque faces representing Democratic Party chaos and internal conflict, with labels including "Bryanism" and "Panic"—likely referencing William Jennings Bryan and economic crises. **"The Dove of Peace in Europe"** and **"Business Football"** mock post-war European instability and the notion that business will revive once political turmoil ends. The cartoons reflect Judge magazine's conservative Republican perspective criticizing Democratic leadership and international instability.
