Concerning a Growing Menace: Theodore Roosevelt's Crusade Against Corporate Corruption and Labor Unrest This powerful and provocative illustration, published in Puck magazine on September 30, 1903, captures the essence of President Theodore Roosevelt's crusade against corporate corruption and labor unrest. The image shows Roosevelt standing at a flag-draped podium, delivering a fiery speech as he points accusingly to two men on the left. Each man has a foot on the prone figure of Lady Justice, who is labeled "Law." The man on the left, labeled "Dishonest Corporations," clutches papers in his hand and extends notes from his pockets labeled "Bribe" and "Graft." His sinister expression and menacing posture convey the sense of a powerful and unscrupulous businessman, willing to do anything to maintain his ill-gotten gains. The man on the right, labeled "Union Tyranny," wears a laborer's cap and holds a sledgehammer. His heavy-browed expression and clenched fists suggest a man driven to violence and intimidation in the name of workers' rights. Roosevelt's stance and determined gaze convey his unwavering commitment to upholding the rule of law and protecting the American people from the growing menace of corporate corruption and labor unrest. This powerful image reflects the intense political and social debates of the Progressive Era, as Americans grappled with the challenges of industrialization, urbanization, and the role of government in regulating business and labor. The illustration is a poignant reminder of the complex and often contentious issues that shaped American politics and society in the early 20th century, and of the enduring importance of the rule of law and the fight against corruption and inequality.
