# "Judging the News" - January 22, 1930 This editorial page criticizes several political figures and issues: **Top section** attacks Democratic Party leadership (Hedin, District Attorney Crain) for alleged scandals, while praising Republican priorities. **Middle cartoon** satirizes Mayor Walker of New York, who apparently received a pay raise despite questions about his competence. The satire suggests that "diligence and promptness" shouldn't automatically bring advancement—a dig at patronage and undeserved promotion. **Bottom cartoon** ("Modern version of the erring daughter and the great blizzard scene") appears to mock social/moral hypocrisy, showing a woman entertaining a male visitor while disapproving onlookers judge her. The caption suggests outdated moral standards applied selectively. The page reflects 1930s urban political corruption concerns and changing social attitudes.

WAtsH JUDGING THE NEWS As we go to press, Grover Whalen is looking for New York's Artichoke King for questioning. And if we know the Commissioner, what he wants to find out is the proper way to eat them. And speaking of New York, Mayor Walker has been handed a handsome pay raise. Which ought to quash for- ever the great Horatio Alger fiction that diligence and promptness bring advancement and success. GO ON OUT" TO A MOVIE WHILE © ENTERTAIN MY Stoney S.
