# Analysis of "Judging the News" This page from *Judge* magazine features editorial commentary on current events alongside a cartoon titled "Waiter, check please!" The cartoon depicts two diners at separate tables engaged in what appears to be a tug-of-war over a bottle of beer—likely satirizing Prohibition-era tensions. One figure wears a party hat (possibly representing revelry or excess), while the other appears more formal. The "check please" caption suggests the bill is coming due, implying consequences for indulgence or illegal drinking. The text snippets comment on various topics: President Hoover comparing George Washington to a bank director, Brazilian government reform, an accused criminal in New York, and depression-era golf course development. The overall theme appears to critique current social and political issues through humor and visual metaphor typical of 1920s-early 1930s satirical journalism.
