President Roosevelt fires his “big stick” cannon from the “White House” at the “New York Sun” cannon, which both fire “liar” at one another. The editors of the “Indianapolis News” and “New York World” both load “lies” cannonballs into their cannons, which fire, “You’re another.” William Nelson Cromwell watches near the White House.
