The author had no clear opinion on the event, but used the picture in his blog. The author used this picture to make a joke about water and alcohol and used the picture to grab the attention of the reader. The author isn’t very trustworthy from looking at the site, but doesn't say anything about the temperance movement that would be questionable. The picture itself is a political cartoon made promote the “Woman’s Holy War”. The goal of this poster is to try and promote other people to stop drinking alcohol altogether and to introduce people of this movement. The picture shows how strongly people tried to promote the abstinence of drinking, as well as create a force behind their ideas. The limits of the document is that it is a picture and it is limited by how people view the image. The cartoon does not give you a complete picture of the event, it merely shows the propaganda of the movement. The author does not have an opinion on the picture and does not use any supporting evidence. The author is only using the cartoon to make a joke that he came up with.
