In the first section of the cartoon, “Congress” holds a “public business” basket of eggs, and sticks his tongue out at President Roosevelt. In the second section, the basket is on the ground with a number of broken eggs, and both Roosevelt and “Congress” walk away. “Congress” says, “He’ll never sass me again,” while Roosevelt says, “I beat him to a frazzle.”
