This appears to be a **title or dedication page** rather than a cartoon page. It features a Theodore Roosevelt quote emphasizing undivided American patriotism—likely referencing contemporary concerns about immigrant loyalties and hyphenated identities (e.g., "Italian-American"). The 1921 copyright date and dedication to fighting forces suggests this publication emerged in the post-WWI period, when debates intensified about assimilation and "100% Americanism." The editor's identification as a Spanish and World War veteran emphasizes credibility in advocating for unified national loyalty. The quote itself was likely aimed at those perceived as having divided allegiances—a common anxiety in 1920s America.
