# October Political Cartoons from Life Magazine This page presents October-themed satirical cartoons. The top shows children engaged in "true love," while the middle section depicts baseball ("According to Theodore"), referencing Theodore Roosevelt's known enthusiasm for sports. Lower cartoons address contemporary issues: "Lady Angels Not Admitted" appears to critique religious hypocrisy; "World's Championship" likely refers to boxing or sports; the "Hague Peace Conference No. 2" cartoon satirizes international diplomacy efforts; and "Hear Ye! Hear Ye!" accompanies what appears to be political commentary. The bottom cartoon, labeled "Naughty!" shows figures with money bags, apparently criticizing financial corruption or wealthy profiteering—a common Progressive Era target. The cartoons reflect early 1900s American social and political concerns through humorous visual commentary.
