# Judge Magazine Cartoon Analysis This page features satirical commentary on contemporary news items. The main cartoon depicts Uncle Ned unable to leave a jug of cider alone, which made Aunt Sophrony so angry she threw the jug over the fence and broke it—a humorous domestic scene about temptation and marital frustration. The "Judging the News" section mocks various political figures and policies: Secretary of Labor James Davis's suggestion that striking coal miners should call off strikes; Benito Mussolini's multiple ministerial roles in Italy; and Senator Borah's proposal to recognize Soviet Russia (sarcastically suggesting the "easiest way" would be to make them slaves). The satire targets government incompetence and foreign policy naiveté through joking commentary on contemporary events.
