EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking cartoon, published on November 10, 1909, in a popular magazine, depicts a scene from the world of American football. The illustration shows a diminutive football player, labeled as "The Plain People," confronting President Taft, who is officiating the game as the umpire. The Plain People, battered and bruised from the rough play on the field, accuses a player from the opposing team, labeled as "Aldrich," of playing dirty, breaking the rules, and cheating. Despite the clear evidence presented before him, President Taft, as the easy umpire, appears to be turning a blind eye to Aldrich's transgressions. The symbolism of this image is rich and multi-layered. The Plain People represent the average American citizen, who feels powerless against the wealthy and influential figures in society, such as Aldrich. President Taft, as the umpire, is supposed to be an impartial referee, ensuring that the game is fair and that all players adhere to the rules. However, his failure to penalize Aldrich for his unsportsmanlike conduct sends a message that money and power can buy impunity. This cartoon was created during a time of significant political and social upheaval in America. The Progressive Era, which began in the late 1800s, was a period of reform and activism, as Americans demanded greater accountability and transparency from their government and corporations. The cartoonist's use of satire and symbolism highlights the need for reform and the importance of holding those in power accountable for their actions.
