This page is primarily an **advertising and announcements issue**, not a political cartoon page. The main content announces Judge magazine's contest for amateur artists, inviting submissions with detailed submission rules. The text explains Judge has long received amateur drawings but couldn't publish most; now they're dedicating a page to amateur work, paying $5 for the funniest submission, $2.50 for second place, and $1 for others. The page includes **three humorous anecdotes** in the lower section: one about a Black boy hitting his head on capitol steps (a crude "feels good" joke), and testimonials for commercial products (Parker's Tar Soap, white bread digestion). The right side contains **period advertisements** for Evans' Ale, a "Science of Shaving" book, and Gillette Safety Razors. There is **no significant political satire** on this page—it's essentially a submission call and advertising filler typical of early 1900s magazine layouts.

A CHANCE FOR AMATEUR ARTISTS For many years JupGE has counted himself fortunate in the number and constancy of his amateur artist friends. Year in and year out this eager and aspiring host has favored us with a multitude of comic drawings. ‘These have, in most cases, been unavailable for publication, and JupGe has been under the painful necessity of returning them. correspondence has grown out of these rejections which has not infrequently led to pleasant friendships, and now and then an amateur has developed his talent and ultimately joined Jupce’s regular staff of contributors. Now we propose to do something to make amends for these years of apparent hostility to the amateur. Suage NOTICE These are halcyon days, for stomach and eye are regaled with the healthy sheen and the glad hy- giene of delectable EVANS’ ALE. for some time to come devote a page to the drawings of amateur artists.
