# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page **"In the Depths"** depicts a coal miner's harsh reality—working day and night in cellars for meager wages while his wife grows distant. The satire critiques industrial labor conditions and their toll on family life. **"Justice Wanted"** appears to be a political complaint about a colonel's promotion. The writer protests that another colonel received advancement despite lacking merit, while questioning why President Theodore Roosevelt (implied by "O President") shows such indifference to worthy individuals who've contributed significantly. **"When They Shall Know"** is a sentimental poem about children separated by war, likely referencing WWI's impact on families. **"The Flight of Time"** uses sequential illustrations to humorously contrast time's perception when with versus without a romantic partner.

My wife two years ago, she Used to see Something of me; But now, Somehow, I work all day, And all night stay In the cellar. What’s a feller To do? I tell you Crackin’ hard coal Endangers the soul.

In other words, O President,’ I cry out, ‘why YANG my harp today is it that Colonel House is still only a colonel?’” I twang it once for love, For life; for shouts of little children in Their play. I strike a chord in mourning sad For manhood slain across the seas. And then I play again the joyful notes, for Children laugh in play at home; the Hun Can never come.
