Description
Editorial cartoon by Boardman Robinson. Originally published in the New York Tribune. Republished here in Cartoons Magazine vol. 3, no. 2 (February 1913), p. 103.
A man with a bowler hat, cane, and cigar looks down at a small barefoot boy standing next to his mother. The mother and child are not so well dressed as the man.

"I thought I'd try to raise ONE."
In an oval at bottom right of the page, two children wrapped in rags against the cold look up at the cartoon.
