Description
The upper panel illustrates a partially-filled Senate where legislators are reading the newspaper and yawning during debate on the Phillippines. In the lower panel, the full Senate attends and actively participates in discussion on a ship subsidy bill.
Political cartoonist John T. McCutcheon demonstrates how the Senate turns its back on foreign affairs in the Philippines during the early twentieth century, but is more than willing to debate a ship subsidy bill with the vigor only money can buy.
