What you’re looking at

This page is primarily text content rather than a prominent political cartoon. The main editorial discusses Col. James Mervyn Donahue's death, praising his role in building the northern transcontinental railroad and his progressive leadership in developing conservative associate areas. A small cartoon in the editorial section appears to show a figure being blown back forcefully, likely illustrating the impact or shock of Donahue's death on the community. The page also contains **"Newspaper Felicities"** announcing personnel changes at local papers and discussing civic issues like unemployment relief and San Francisco's charitable obligations. The content suggests this issue focuses on obituary and social commentary rather than partisan political satire.
