On the left, a woman walks on a street in the “Red Light District.” A policeman stands on the corner watching her. On the right, several men sit in chairs in front of place-markers on the wall that describe each person: “Orator and Politician. Will sell myself to the highest bidder,” “Editorial Writer. Views that I don’t believe in. For sale,” “College Professor. Education directed to please those who have the money,” “Cartoonist for sale to any party (Depending on the price),” “Minister. Sermons to please those who pay the pew rent,” and a “Law[yer].” Caption: Which is the greater evil – the woman of the streets or these mental prostitutes?
