The figure of Puck, the magazine’s mascot, points at two men and tugs at the robe of Justice, who is raising the blindfold from over her eyes and giving the men a stern look. One is a ruffian holding a bomb and a red flag labeled “Anarchy.” The other is a well-dressed editor or journalist holding a yellow flag labeled “Yellow Journalism” and newspaper sheets labeled “Incendiary editorials ‘The president is the creature of the Trusts'” and “Assassination is the only remedy,” and he carries a satchel with sheets labeled “Seditious Editorials.” The ground is strewn with newspaper sheets covered with quotes that condemn President McKinley. Caption: Puck. — Don’t forget that they are two of a kind – equally responsible for the death of our President!
