EDITORS COMMENTS
October 30, 1901: A Tried Watch-dog Who Will Be Retained This political cartoon, published in Puck magazine on October 30, 1901, depicts a scene at the US Treasury building, where Pension Commissioner Henry C. Evans is shown as a watchdog wearing a collar labeled "Pension Commissioner Evans." A determined Pension Agent, labeled as such and carrying a small club labeled "Fraudulent Claims," stands before him, shaking his fist in a show of vigilance. The image conveys the importance of Evans' role as a watchdog against pension fraud during a time when the Pension Bureau was under scrutiny for corruption and mismanagement. The Pension Agent's presence and unwavering gaze serve as a reminder of the government's commitment to rooting out dishonesty and ensuring the integrity of the pension system. The cartoon, which appeared in Puck magazine, was a popular source of political commentary and satire during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This particular illustration highlights the public's interest in the ongoing efforts to combat pension fraud and maintain the trust of the American people in their government institutions. The watchdog metaphor, a common symbol of vigilance and protection, underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in the administration of public funds. The image of Evans as a watchdog also serves to humanize the figure of the Pension Commissioner, emphasizing his role as a guardian of the public's interests.
