What you’re looking at

This page is predominantly **advertising** for period products: Milo Egyptian cigarettes, Velvet tobacco, Durham Duplex razors, Old Overholt Rye whiskey, and Underwood typewriters. The editorial content includes "Brief Decisions from the Bench," a recurring Judge feature offering satirical advice. One section discusses tariff schedules affecting American farmers—suggesting they could raise competitive products if trade barriers lowered. This references **early 20th-century protectionist debates** between farmers seeking cheaper imports versus manufacturers defending high tariffs. Another item humorously reports a Judge Valentine Number featuring an airplane used in a marriage bureau honeymoon trip, playing on contemporary fascination with aviation as a novelty. The overall tone is light satire on economic policy and modern technology, typical of Judge's genteel humor for educated readers.

Tes. e032 Wright Writes About “ The Right Biplane.” EEADERS of Jupce will doubtless recall ‘The Right Biplane” which was used as the cover design for the Valentine Number. Wilbur Wright knows a good deal about aeroplanes, but he also knows a clever idea when he sees it. Under date of February 3, Wright writes about ‘‘The Right Bi- plane "as follows: “*The aeroplane in the Valentine Num- ber of Jupce is without question a bare- faced infringement, but as the operators are about to take out a license, we will await developments.” The license has been taken out at the marriage bureau and the couple are taking a trip through the air castles of Honeymoon. What the Farmers Will Raise. LF certain changes are made in tariff schedules, American farmers can be depended upon to raise something more than corn, etc. The minute that Amer- ican farmers along our Northern bor- der have to compete with the Canadian farmer, they will know more about run- ning the government at Washington. The ‘‘ rock-ribbed hills of New England’’ sounds all right in oratory but they offer poor soil on which to raise products to compete with those from the rich Ca- nadian farms. Yet the farmer has been the loudest to demand tariff reductions. Schedule K—as the woolen schedule is technically known—should be schedule X until some of its problems are better known to the American people. A re- duction in Schedule K means cheaper wool. But if cheaper wool means the closing down of the | woolen mills in THE \ SMOOTHEST TOBACCO Unexcelled as a good home smoke. 10 cents At all dealers England, if it means throwing a large number of mill hands out of employment, if it means the extermination of sheep on western ranches, if it means a higher price formutton and lamb for all, whether living in town orcountry—if a reduction in Schedule K means all this (and much more), what a tremendous price Ameri- can people are going to pay for imported cheaper woolens! A wise man many years ago said, ‘‘Beware of wolves in sheeps’ clothing.”” A reduction in Schedule K is nothing else but a wolf when the mask is torn asid. The Amer- ican farmer ought to know how to deal with wolves. If he doesn’t he may find out after his sheep have been killed.
