# Judge Magazine, April 23, 1927 The main illustration depicts "Sons and daughters of the 'Merican rev'lushin'"—a satirical scene of what appears to be a fancy social gathering or speakeasy, likely mocking Prohibition-era hypocrisy. During Prohibition (1920-1933), wealthy Americans openly violated the alcohol ban at underground bars while claiming patriotic respectability. The accompanying articles reference contemporary scandals: bootlegging arrests, proposed sugar-sales registrations to prevent home alcohol production, and restaurant speakeasies operating despite legal restrictions. One item jokes about President Coolidge receiving a ten-gallon hat from Buffalo Bill's granddaughter—likely mocking his taciturn public image. The satire targets wealthy Americans' blatant disregard for Prohibition laws while maintaining an appearance of moral respectability, a central Judge theme during this era.
