EDITORS COMMENTS
August 6, 1902: A New Era in the United States Senate - This illustration depicts a significant moment in American political history, as the sale of Senate seats comes to an end. The man labeled "Candidate for Senate" is seen holding wads of cash, attempting to gain entry to the Senatorial lobby, only to be met with a sign stating "Sale of seats to the United States Senate has been prohibited." The Senatorial Box Office, once the hub of corruption and backroom deals, has been boarded up and locked, with a "Closed" sign hanging in the window. Enter Uncle Sam, in the guise of a police officer, wielding a night stick labeled "Public Opinion." He stands firm, directing the would-be senator to the new entrance to the Senate, marked by the presence of a Ballot Box and a man labeled "Voter." With the power of the people's voice and the strength of their collective will, the corrupt practices of Senate seat sales have been brought to an end. This illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in government, and the power of the people to effect change.
