Government care versus government neglect / Kep.

Illustration shows a man labeled "Warden", armed with "Warrants", carrying measuring devices and a sheet of paper that states "Fish, Game, Forestry and Food Laws", standing next to a young tree, a calf, and a pond with fish and a lobster. On the right are two young, poorly dressed and underfed, children passing through a doorway into a building labeled "Entrance to Factory"; inside are other children working with machinery.

Caption: The government protects young fish, young oysters, young terrapin, young lobsters, young beef, and young trees. Is it not about time the same solicitude was shown for young human beings? They are more important than trout, or lobsters, or even forests.
Illus. in: Puck, v. 73, no. 1875 (1913 February 5), centerfold.
