"Plague take it! Why doesn't it stay down when I hit it?" / K.

Illustration shows President Taft standing behind a chair on which a diminutive George W. Wickersham is standing and using a stick labeled "Sherman Law" to beat a toy labeled "Monopoly" that is on a table and shows a wealthy businessman holding money bags and sitting in a bowl. Hanging on the wall is a "Sectional View" of the toy showing that it is weighted at the bottom with "High Protection", stating "The Reason Why" it doesn't stay down when Wickersham hits it.
