# "Judging the News" - April 16, 1930 This editorial page satirizes current events through three brief commentary pieces and a cartoon. The main cartoon depicts two figures on horseback encountering a cactus, asking "Stranger, what town is this?"—likely commentary on the American Southwest or frontier conditions. The text discusses Mr. Whalen's plan regarding "railroad clusters," Calvin Coolidge's move from a two-family house, Prohibition-era Carrie Nation references, and naval policy concerns. The satire mocks Prohibition's inconsistency and critiques a "considerate gangster" who supposedly requests victims ride in rumble seats. The cartoons employ visual humor typical of 1930s Judge magazine—absurdist scenarios and exaggeration to comment on contemporary social and political issues, though specific figures remain unclear without additional historical context.
