Missionary, sir?"
Cannibal Chief: "No, you fool,
that's a Friar."

[Newspaper clipping #1, it's a political cartoon:]
[The picture is of Uncle Sam in bed, under the covers with a woman, "Betty Liquor", in a nightie, also under the covers, and she says to him:]
"Don't you think it's about time you made an honest woman of me, Sam?"

[Newspaper clipping #2, also has political cartoons. There are two frames right above each other in one column, and in the next comments, some comments and frame three. The three frames are arranged in the shape of the letter L:]
[above frame 1]
"...and to uphold the Constitution of the United States,
so help me..."
[frame 1 shows two men, one holding a Bible and the other with his hand on it, appearing to swear in]
[frame 2, shows the men whispering to each other. The Bible is now on the table and one man is whispering to the other]
[above frame 3]
Repeal the Eighteenth Amendment
[Frame 3 shows the two men again, this time with the Bible open, and inside is the cutout portion in the shape of a flask and one man is about to drink from a shot glass and the other man, the one who was being sworn in in frame 1, is drinking from the flask]
[Also on the clipping were these comments above frame three:]
Mrs. Colvin, head of the New York Women's Chris-
tian Temperance Union, in speaking of representatives
who drink wet but vote dry, said that they merely voted
to "satisfy their constituents."
Mrs. Courtlandt Nicoll asks: "Is the next generation
to be taught to enshrine hypocrisy as a virtue, and to
look upon expediency as the aim of public service?"
