A man stands besides Uncle Sam at the bottom of the State of Minnesota. Uncle Sam holds an object reading Homesteads for the Asking and 234,000 Acres of Minnesota Land, Open to Entry, June 20. Across the top of Minnesota reads Northern Minnesota. Signs label particular areas of Northern Minnesota including 2,000 Acres Pidgeon River, 185,000 Acres Baudette River, 6400 Acres Red Lake, 22,400 Acres Cass Lake District, 4,000 Acres Leech Lake, and 13,000 Acres Cloquet.

Taking the Bull By the Horns

May 31, 1910

Theodore Roosevelt grasps a bull by the horns. The bull is labelled John Bull and its tail is an upright flagpole flying a British flag and a pendant labelled British Rule in Egypt. Uncle Sam looks on with binoculars in the background.

Roosevelt had given a speech in London on British Rule in Africa, in which he had roundly criticized the British occupation of Egypt for its lenience in not indiscriminately murdering those who stood against it.

Lest We Forget

May 30, 1910

A young man holding a bouquet of flowers with a ribbon labelled 'the rising generation' is standing next to an American flag-draped grave marked 'Sacred to the Memory Hero of the Civil War July 3 1863' while the hand of Uncle Sam, holding a wreath, is seen entering the frame.

The cartoon was published on Memorial Day, and the date on the grave refers to the end of the Battle of Gettysburg.

Long Live the King

May 24, 1910

The Panama Canal connects to the Pacific Ocean. A large dove, dressed as Uncle Sam, stands on one piece of land labeled Unfortified Canal. The dove holds a book with a label that reads Disarmament Rules and wears a hat with the word Peace across it. The chicken holds a scepter with the word Peace above it.

The Panama Canal was intended to be open to all nations.
