# Analysis of Judge Page The main cartoon depicts a crowded urban street scene labeled "Proposed Store for Further Benefit of Boarding-House Keepers." It satirizes the proliferation of small shops and businesses operated by boarding-house proprietors trying to supplement income. The packed storefronts with hand-painted signs suggest commercialization of domestic spaces and the economic pressures on landlords. The surrounding editorial sections address contemporary issues: women's suffrage ("Let Us Import Reform"), legal concerns about divorce coverage in newspapers ("Malice and Libel"), and political disputes within the anti-suffrage movement ("Divided, They Fall"). The page reflects early-20th-century debates about women's rights, civil service reform, and the expanding commercial urban landscape.

A NEW MYSTERY. EVERAL WOMEN have recently suddenly lost themselves on the NERAL SHAFTER, in a brief argument against woman-suffrage, j says he has himself voted only once in thirty years. It is a powerful i] argument. And what if we were all like General Shafter? KEST, Kansas, there are lady barbers, lady preachers, lady doc- tors and lady butchers; and we feel sure that as soon as there are lady sheriffs everybody will want to go there to do his murdering. NEGRO WORKMEN were prohibited from marching in the presiden- tial procession in Atlanta, and white workmen who belonged to the same organization that they did thereupon refused to march. There was a cloud with a silver lining. ‘THREE PERSONS in San Francisco, after a careful canvass of the town for signatures to a Hoar petition, are found to be opposed to the annexation of the Phiiippines; but we must not forget that all signers of those documents are persons of very superior intellect. public highway. They have forgotten their own names and tae places of their residence, and have had to cry out to the police, after the manner of the lost child, “I'm losted—won't you find me, pleasc?” Either the loss of‘memory which belongs mostly to the witness-stand has become epidemic, or the Chicago woman has left her husband to go too numer- ously out into the world without a guardian, DIVIDED, THEY FALL. AN ANTI-SUFFRAGE ORGANIZATION in this state, composed entirely of women, proposes an aggressive fight against the pro-suf- frage women, and will follow them to all places, local and otherwise, in which they cry out for the ballot. It is Mrs. Brutus against Mrs. Carsar, and it is treachery where it ought to have been least expected. The antis might have been more kind.
