# "Judging the News" - October 1, 1929 This editorial cartoon page satirizes current events through brief commentary and illustration. The main cartoon depicts homeless or poor people camped outdoors near what appears to be Washington, D.C. buildings, with the caption "A delightful repast, boys—look me up if you ever get out around Dubuque." The accompanying text mocks various topics: aviation delays, Washington's status in American League baseball standings, Soviet Russia's abolition of Sunday rest days, naval officers' abilities, and a "milk racket" scandal. The cartoon likely critiques economic conditions and government indifference to poverty, though the specific historical context is somewhat unclear without additional sourcing. The date (October 1, 1929) places this just before the stock market crash.
