What you’re looking at
This is a contents page from *Life* magazine listing article and illustration titles. It's not a cartoon or political commentary itself, but rather an index of the publication's contents. The page shows the magazine covered diverse topics typical of the era: social commentary ("Social Customs," "Patriotism in America"), literary pieces ("Parables," "Tragedy, A"), character sketches, and humorous observations. Titles like "Prejudice, Her" and "Reducing the Surplus" suggest satirical takes on contemporary social issues. Without seeing the actual cartoons or articles themselves, I cannot identify specific figures, political references, or explain particular satirical points. To understand the humor and commentary, the actual illustrated content would need to be examined.
