# Editorial Cartoons from Judge Magazine This page contains three distinct editorial pieces critiquing early 20th-century social and legal issues: **"Peace and War"** argues that despite war's devastation, nations continue destructing themselves, undermining civilization's progress. **"Under Two Flags"** discusses the upcoming Panama Canal naval parade, noting various nations' ships will participate under truce flags rather than national flags—a diplomatic arrangement. **"The Passing of Bigamy"** satirizes a Los Angeles court case where a man's bigamy conviction was overturned on technical grounds. The author questions whether legal loopholes should allow such escapes from moral accountability, suggesting future courts will better address marital misconduct. The illustration labeled "Mars—Go ahead, boys!" depicts a skeleton figure encouraging warfare, visually reinforcing the peace-versus-war theme.
