The spectacle attacked Fordney Harding era policy with mock songs about taxes, subsidies, and political manipulation while linking Prohibition enforcement and Republican campaigns to public money and power.
Fragmented snippets from a mixed era opinion page
A collage of quotes and musings on wages, education, Europe, and culture, including remarks on Shakespeare, Lloyd George, British policy, and a mock literacy question. It presents a jumble of social commentary, with references to coal shortages, the League of Nations, and a census illiteracy figure.
