President Roosevelt cleans Joseph Pulitzer in a “reform” washtub. Around Roosevelt is a basket of “more rascals.” There is also a globe, “Congressional rascals,” Ohio Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, and three newspapers–“N. Y. World,” “Indianapolis News,” and “disreputable journalism.” In the back are men hanging on the clothesline: Edward Henry Harriman, “trusts,” “Post Office rascal,” “lumber rascal,” “coal rascal,” and “political rascal.”
