Our New Watchman, Roosevelt

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful political cartoon by Thomas Nast, created in 1884. The image depicts Theodore Roosevelt, then a member of the New York State Legislature, using his Civil Service Reform Bill to combat the corrupt leadership of Tammany Hall. In the foreground, we see Roosevelt confidently wielding his bill as he expels the notorious boss Tweed and his cronies from their positions of power. Governor Grover Cleveland can be seen observing this scene approvingly from behind a window. This suggests that Cleveland supports Roosevelt's efforts to clean up politics and eliminate corruption within the government. The presence of Governor Cleveland adds significance to this moment as he was known for being an advocate for civil service reform himself. Nast's cartoon captures an important chapter in American history during the Progressive Era when politicians like Roosevelt were fighting against political machines and advocating for transparency and fairness in government practices. By portraying Roosevelt as a watchman protecting society from corruption, Nast emphasizes his role as a defender of justice. This print serves as both a historical document and a celebration of Theodore Roosevelt's early contributions to politics. It reminds us that even before becoming President, he was already making waves with his progressive ideas and determination to root out corruption.
