This Judge magazine page contains two distinct elements: **Upper Left - "Passing the Mustard" cartoon**: A satirical piece about philosophy and marriage. It jokes that Socrates could brilliantly question his students, but couldn't answer his wife Xantippe's questions at home. The humor targets men who appear wise in public but are bested by their wives in private—a common domestic satire trope of the era. **Right Side - Budweiser Advertisement**: An elaborate ad exploiting James Madison's reputation as "Father of the Constitution" to sell beer. The copy claims Madison and Jefferson both opposed Prohibition laws and "encouraged the brewing industry," falsely linking the founders to alcohol consumption. This appears designed to counter Prohibition sentiment by invoking founding fathers' authority—a propagandistic marketing approach linking beer to American patriotism and liberty. The juxtaposition is ironic: domestic comedy above, political manipulation below.

Passing, the Mustard How Philosophers Work Socrates asked questions when He would teach young gentlemen; He asked, “*Why?"’ They said, ‘* Be- u Golly, what a cinch it was! Everybody else said, ‘He's Some sage, is old Socrates!"" Socrates, the dear old nut, Questioned very wisely—but When he got home late at night Couldn’t answer questions right. When he met up with Xantippe, That philosopher was dippy! In our own self-praising eyes, You and I are very wise. We're so clever, we amaze Those who loaf around cafes. But when we get home, oh, why Can't we to our wives reply? —Ted Robinson, in Cleveland Plain Dealer, Her Plan—Mrs. Youngwed—Well, dear, I've found a flat, and the cars go right past the door. Youngwed—Won't the noise of the elec- trics disturb your rest, my love? Mrs. Youngwed—Oh, the landlord assured me that I wouldn't mind it after the first two nights, and you know, dear, we can sleep the first two nights at mother’s.— Boston Transcript. The Farmer's Idea—‘‘I am a servant of the people,’’ said the man who is more pol- itic than patriotic. “I don’t like to hear you call yourself a servant,"" commented Farmer Corntossel. “As I think of the taxes I pay toward your salary, i. makes me feel as if I were up against the tipping evil.

James Madison—Father of the Constitution” E FOURTH PRESIDENTof the United States con- sidered it a greater honor to be declared the Father of the Consti- tution than to have been elected twice to the highest office in the gift of his countrymen.
