# "Judging the News" - July 9, 1928 This satirical column contains several brief social commentary items and a cartoon. The main illustration depicts two men on a dock or pier: one seated with a fishing rod, another standing with a cane. The caption reads: "That's a railroad down there, ye darn fool. 'Tain't a river.' Sh-h! Promised my wife I'd try trout th'—he—four-fifteen." The joke appears to mock either fishing enthusiasts' gullibility or someone's deliberately deceptive promise to their spouse about fishing versus some other activity. The reference to a "four-fifteen" (likely a train schedule) suggests the man is actually planning to catch a train rather than fish, contrary to what he told his wife. The surrounding text discusses various news items including Gene Tunney playing harp and complaints about Canadian bullets.
