# "Judge" Magazine Commentary Page - April 13, 1931 This page features editorial commentary titled "Judging the News." The brief text snippets offer satirical takes on contemporary issues: - A comment about the Schmeling-Stribling boxing match being "tame" - Observations on spring weather and its effect on wallets - Skepticism about Detective Willie (likely a public figure) solving New York's affairs - A jab at Prohibition's costs, suggesting it's being enforced by "ex-garage mechanics" The main cartoon below depicts a scene in darkness with figures and the caption "'C'mon, c'mon, let 'er go!'" The specific reference is unclear without additional context, but likely satirizes a contemporary news event or political situation from early 1931. The page represents *Judge*'s typical format: mixing short editorial quips with illustration.
