'''7.''' It would appear that it's depicting Teddy Roosevelt to be coming in between Russia and Japan. This would represent the Russo-Japanese War, when Roosevelt asked for representatives of both countries to come to America to discuss peaceable options.

H2) Free speech is free speech. It's what makes America "the land of the free," and when something gets in the way of that, there's a situation. The Postal Service was given the right to ban or confiscate anything that could be treasonable, so that would mean people didn't have the freedom to say what they pleased. It was illegal to go against things the government said was good, which is another infraction in free speech, and you could do serious jail time if you aided "the enemy." That last one seems to be a good idea, but if you don't have freedom to believe in what you want, and help those who you want to help, then there's no real freedom. There's no real point for there to be people supporting the "opposite site" here in America, but it's perfectly possible. For example, I really don't like the Yankees. That didn't keep me from going to a Yankee game, I simply supported the other side. Because that's freedom, I'm allowed to do that.
'''H3)''' I don't think Prohibition of alcohol was at all good. When something is made to be illegal, human nature somehow wants to do whatever is illegal even more then when it was legal. I've been told that the countries that don't really have many laws against alcohol have fewer problems with the stuff compared with the countries that have many laws against it. I admit, it seems alcohol is rarely treated with respect, but it can be used for good. When small amounts are used for celebrations, it can make a simple occasion all that much more special.
