# "Judging the News" - June 26, 1928 This Judge page satirizes current events through brief commentary and an illustration titled "When Fond Recollection Presents Them to View." The text references: - **Harvard geology students mountaineering** (implied critique of frivolous academia) - **Supreme Court wire-tapping decision** legalizing prohibition enforcement - **President Coolidge's McNary-Haugen Bill veto** regarding farm aid - **Ghost color research** at Pittsburg University (appears to mock pseudoscientific claims) - **Benito Mussolini** receiving criticism from the National Press Club The street-scene cartoon depicts various shops, theaters, and period transportation (horse cart, bicycles, automobiles) populated with figures labeled "Gideon Girl," "Get a Horse," and "Get a Nose." The illustration appears to nostalgically mock outdated or ridiculous consumer goods and fashions of the era, contrasting old and new.
