# "Judging the News" - May 12, 1932 This page contains four brief satirical comments on current events, paired with cartoons: 1. **Roosevelt and Democrats**: A joke suggesting Roosevelt might have become President if not for Democratic opposition—likely referencing internal party tensions. 2. **Bears and Prohibition**: A winter forecast quip about bears wearing fur coats while Prohibition officers and "newsy men" meet at speakeasies—satirizing the widespread flouting of Prohibition laws. 3. **Shoe accelerators**: A joke about shoes with built-in accelerators—apparently mocking some fashion trend or advertisement. 4. **Dentists**: A quip about dentists extracting money from patients. The main cartoon depicts a courtroom scene where a woman explains killing someone "because she loved him"—likely referencing a contemporary trial or crime story, though the specific case is unclear from this page alone.
