What you’re looking at
This page contains literary criticism and advertisements rather than political cartoons. The main article "Getting After Gibbs" discusses Sir Philip Gibbs, a British writer whom Irish readers attacked during lectures. Gibbs had advocated for Irish Dominion status and criticized British "black-and-tan" military policies, taking what the author calls a "liberal" middle position. Now Maurice Leon, a French Embassy lawyer, is publicly denouncing Gibbs in the Tribune for allegedly slandering Marshal Foch and France. The piece's ironic point: Gibbs' moderate, sympathetic approach to multiple perspectives offends extremists on both sides—neither Irish nationalists nor French patriots will accept his nuanced views. The remainder consists of advertisements: Holeproof Hosiery (featuring a man in formal wear), Resinol skin treatment, and Mary T. Goldman's hair coloring product ("Once I was gray!"). These ads reflect early 20th-century consumer culture and grooming standards.

Sated F a shredded wheat biscuit Reminded me Of anything else under heaven, 1 would put that thing Out of my life Forever. Burges Johnson. Getting After Gibbs To our minds Sir Philip Gibbs is one of the most benevolent and be- nign of contemporary writers, who practices all the time to better the world, and, on the whole, does it gently, which cannot always be said of world better- ers. Yet he manages to give offense to various people. Somehow or other most of the Irish are very mad at him. In Irish matters he took the position that the government party in England was trying to handle the Irish with a club, which was wrong, and that was no way to do it. He advocated Dominion gov- ernment for Ireland as the best thing obtainable. He was shocked at British black-and-tan policies, and was strong on the Irish side of things, but in his | lectures here where he discussed these matters the Irish mobbed him.
