What you’re looking at

This is primarily a **title/contents page** for the satirical magazine, not a political cartoon. The masthead shows the publication date and publishing details. Notable content includes: - **"Sale of The Wasp"**: The magazine changed editorial hands to T. E. Flynn, a journalist previously with San Francisco papers. - **"The Latest Murder Trial"**: Satirizes the Chinese murder case coverage, criticizing how newspapers sensationalize trials and how real estate speculators use such controversies to their advantage in San Francisco's postoffice-site debate. - **"Trampling on Their Rights"**: Mocks a Chinese Citizens' Committee meeting, ridiculing both the participants and police harassment of Chinese residents. The portrait shows **Hon. Joseph McKenna**, newly selected to fill a Federal circuit court vacancy.
