What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising with brief humorous filler content**, not political cartoons requiring historical context. The advertisements dominate: Mennen's Shaving Cream, Durbar Gems (jewelry), Behning pianos, and several hotels. The editorial humor includes light domestic jokes ("Matrimonial Arithmetic," "An Unfortunate Slip") with no specific political reference, plus **a section praising Judge's own editorial cartoons on patent law protection**—essentially self-congratulatory commentary from manufacturers approving the magazine's pro-business stance on intellectual property. Most notably, there's **"Ode to Woodrow Wilson,"** a satirical poem apparently criticizing Wilson-era panic about economic disruption. References to hanging people on "sour apple trees" and threats of "deuce to pay" suggest anxiety about Wilson's policies or enforcement actions, though the specific context is unclear without the complete text. Overall, this reflects early 20th-century concerns about commerce, patents, and presidential authority rather than sustained political satire.

She laid out a dollar on powder and paint, With a pencil of bismuth her eyebrows to trace, And all for the purpose of making a face! Matrimonial Arithmetic. Said Ned to Tom, ‘‘’Tis cheap to wed, For two are one, when people marry. “Tknow,’’ said Tom; ‘‘but look here, Ned, There may be one or more to carry!’’ An Unfortunate Slip. “Oh, doctor, my husband is to give up smoking during Lent! Isn’t that lovely of him?” “Yes, madam, and very necessary to his health. I ordered it."” ‘The brute “Judge” Complimented. ANY letters have been received by JupcE complimenting it on the stand it has taken on the maintenance of the integrity of the patent laws, and es- pecially upon the telling cartoons on the subject Jupce has published. “Work of this kind,’’ says a prominent manufacturer, in writing of JupGe’s car- toon, ‘*Don’t Dynamite This Monument,"’ ‘will be of material aid in educating the public as to what alterations in the pres- ent patent laws would mean. “Just a word of appreciation of the cartoon in JupGe,”’ says another man of world-wide note, referring to the same picture. ‘‘It will have more effect than pages of argument. “If more of our influential journals and magazines would follow Jupce’s exam- ple,’’ writes another well-known man, “and manifest a substantial interest in this subject, I am satisfied that great good could be accomplished."* Lack of space alone prevents the print- ing of other expressions complimenting JupcE on this subject. Ode to Woodrow Wilson. To the tune of John Brown's Body. Whoever starts a panic, no matter who he be, We will have to hang that person on a “*sour apple tree We must hang him “thigh as Haman,’’ by the President’s decree, When Woodrow Wilson reigns. So be careful everybody of what you do and say, For a panic may be started in a very simple way; If we talk too much or glibl may be the ‘‘deuce to pay When Woodrow Wilson reigns. there Then be careful, Mr. Wilson, too—be careful lest you bring, By unwary words and actions, on your- self the very thing That you threaten panic makers, who, you say, deserve to swing, When Woodrow Wilson reigns. —New York Herald.
