This page contains editorial content and a political cartoon titled "Chicago Convention, Take Notice!" The cartoon depicts two men flanking a large barrel labeled "Full Dinner Pail" — a famous Republican campaign slogan. Both figures hold signs reading "Wanted: A Man That Can Keep It Full," suggesting competition over who can deliver economic prosperity to voters. The "Full Dinner Pail" was William McKinley's 1900 campaign promise, symbolizing Republican prosperity claims. This cartoon appears critical of that rhetoric, questioning whether either political figure can actually fulfill such promises. The context suggests debate over economic policy and election-year claims during the Progressive Era, likely preceding a major party convention in Chicago.

HE OTHER day in Chicago a person who I edits a magazine called To-morrow, and who calls himself an‘ advanced thinke: is said to have appeared at a dinner clad mas, where he favored the assemblage with a speech. As we hear now and then of apos- tles of so-called advanced thought doing foolish stunts in different parts of the country or luring silly human sheep into simple-life colonies, we feel a twitching in the toe of our left boot. Most ad- vanced thought has been thunk over and over again in other days, and, so far as the advanced thinker 4 himself no harm that has not already The miserable part of it all is the fact that he finds so many dupes, It is regrettable that the State eannot compel s of these thinkers whose thought is located ahead of the present to their cerebration bodily as far, at least, as the middle of only inp himself is been done him, COUNTERFEITS.

T IS a pity that now and then, for the good of both, a magazine's editorial staff and its reading public cannot meet. ‘The exchange of ideas and the gain of sympathy would have a beneficial result all around. As a matter of fact, the attitude of editors toward their public has more of personal friendliness than the attitude of the public toward the editors; for the public regards a periodic a sort of machine-made commodity, with no personality back of it merely a flavor to be enjoyed or criticised, Of course such a gen- eral introduction between us can never be brought about. A photo- graph from each one of you, accompanied by a complet+ description f your several personalities, might swamp us. But, on the other d, nothing is more welcome in our morning's mail than a frank, personal letter from some reader, expressive of friendly criticism or suggestions, while as for any one who is curious as to our place of business and the sedate cast of our several countenances, a glance at a full page of photographs in Leslie's Weekly for June 4th will serve as enlightenment. orgia, during his term as governor, has antag- onized all those Georgians who disapprove of the disenfranchise- ment of the negro.
