What you’re looking at

**Main Cartoon - "Quite a Difference":** Two well-dressed women discuss their husbands' financial practices. The first says her husband gives her every cent he earns; the second replies "Is that all?" and notes her husband gives her every cent he *gets*—implying he spends/wastes money before bringing home the rest. The satire targets marital economics and male financial irresponsibility in the early 20th century. **Supporting Content:** Additional humorous pieces include "Willie's Reasoning" (a child's logic about buying bananas) and editorial commentary titled "Little Editorials to Make People Think," criticizing wealthy people for not engaging in serious thought, using extended metaphors about flat surfaces and roundness. The page reflects period concerns about wealth, marriage dynamics, and social class attitudes.

It may be because she is plain that so few people have anything to do with her. LITTLE EDITORIALS TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK. Impressed by the example of some of his vigilant contemporaries, JUDGE is moved to begin a crusade to make people think. None of us think enough. JUDGE tells you that if you think you will see a great DIFFERENCE. Anything in this world looks otherwise after you have thought about it a little. Look at the Hudson River from a ferry-boat. You will say that it looks FLAT. The sea looks flat. Everything in this world to peo- ple, as they ride in a Terry-boat, looks flat. But when you come to think it over you will see what an error you have made. The sea is not flat; it is ROUND. Why this great change in our way of looking at the sea? Because we have used our THINKERS. Now we see everything is round. Nothing is flat. Nobody is on the SQUARE. We are all ROUNDERS. On every hand we see people who are rich and unhappy, while others are poor and blessed. Why is this so? JUDGE will tell you We ‘say to these rich people, you do not THINK. The poor their thinkers, and thus are happy. You are so busy making money that you never think, Hence you are UP AGAINST it. Here is a woman who is quietly bringing up seven children, making a husband toe the mark and keeping home happy, and never ONE WORD gets into the newspapers about her. We say to this woman, it is your own fault. You are not a thinker. What are your BRAINS for? If you want to get into the newspapers GET Bi Quit your humdrum course and do something. Get a DIVORCE. Make the world feel your presence in it and REGRET it. Next week we shall endeavor to make you think AGAIN.
