# "Judging the News" - July 10, 1930 This page contains brief satirical commentaries on current events plus one cartoon. The main cartoon shows two men playing chess outdoors during a rainstorm, with the caption "Gaud, what a climate for chess!" The joke appears to be absurdist humor—the men are focused on their game despite terrible weather, commenting on human stubbornness or misplaced priorities. The text snippets above mock various 1930 issues: Chicago corruption, naval treaty negotiations, New York subway problems, tariff policy, and—notably—"Bishop Cannon," likely referring to James Cannon Jr., a prominent Methodist bishop involved in political scandal during this period. The overall tone is cynical commentary on government incompetence and moral hypocrisy.
