What you’re looking at

# Editorial Page Analysis The cartoon titled **"Won't Somebody Give Me a Start"** depicts a figure (appears to be a baby or small character) on a sledge, illustrated by Forel. The image satirizes economic opportunity or relief during what appears to be an economic downturn. The surrounding editorials address: 1. **Trade combinations** - criticizing anti-competitive practices by Cleveland egg dealers 2. **Social snobbery** - mocking the Earl of Tankerville's plan to send his son to America to avoid becoming a snob 3. **Chicago paupers** - questioning whether Chicago is harboring thousands of unemployed persons 4. **Tariff politics** - discussing Congressional tariff revision debates, with references to Representatives Underwood and La Follette The overall theme appears to critique both economic inequality and governmental response to it.
