This cartoon shows Theodore Roosevelt posing in the aftermath of a bear hunt. One of the bears, which he has shot and killed, has “bad trusts” written on it. On the other bear, which he has tied up with a leash labeled “restraint” is still alive and has “good trusts” written on it. In the background there is a sign reading “White House,” and a third small bear toting a large sack with feet poking out of it. This refers to Theodore Roosevelt’s “trust busting” efforts during his presidency.
