The American Samson
Theodore Roosevelt, as Delilah, holds a broken pair of shears, one side labeled “Senate” and the other labeled “House.” Behind, reclining on a bed, is “Samson,” a long-haired old man labeled “The Railroads,” his hair labeled “Rate Fixing Power.” He appears to be asleep, having pleasant “Rate Fixing” dreams, caressing his long locks with his left hand. Caption: Delilah Roosevelt — I must get these shears to work together before I can do any hair-cutting.
