This page primarily contains **advertisements and editorial content supporting women's suffrage**, rather than political cartoons. The main feature is a prize-winning essay titled "Ten Reasons Why Women Should Vote," authored by Mrs. Olive H. Rabe of Chicago. The arguments reflect early-20th-century suffrage rhetoric: women as citizens and taxpayers deserve representation; as mothers and homemakers, they need voting power to protect families from contaminated food and unsafe working conditions; as workers entering industry, they require ballot access; and experience in equal-suffrage states proves women haven't lost femininity or family values. The page is surrounded by whiskey and synthetic gem advertisements typical of Judge's era. The "Brief Decisions" section contains satirical short jokes about contemporary topics—a New Jersey invalid, New York coldness, linguistic pretension, and cigarette consumption. The suffrage essay's publication indicates Judge's stance on this contentious issue during the pre-1920 period when women's voting rights remained hotly debated in America.

(This paper won first prize in Judge's suffrage contest.) 1, They are citizens, and, therefore, entitled to a voice in making the laws by which they are governed. 2. They are taxpayers, forced to help support the machinery of government. History upholds their contention that “taxation without representation is tyranny "” 3. They are home-makers, and need the ballot to protect the home from adul- terated foods, diseased meats, and germ- infested clothing. 4. They are mothers, and, therefore, fitted by nature to set the standard by which the public shall treat children. To make their child-welfare work effect- ive, they must have the ballot. 5. They are wives, and realize the necessity for social purity. They need the ballot to help elect candidates who favor strict vice regulations. They are sweethearts, and inter- est in their future homes prompts the desire to aid actively in securing fair wages, decent working conditions, and an eight-hour law for men. 7. They are daughters, and rightfully mindful of their parents’ welfare. ‘They need the ballot to swell the ranks of the humanitarians who will vote for old-age pensions, 8. They are women, and for cen- turies have been condemned by conven- tion to confine their activities within the walls of home. They need the broad- ening influence of active interest in local, State, and national affairs. 9. They are workers, and have entered the industrial world to stay. They, therefore, need the ballot to protect themselves, * 10. Actual experience in the equal- suffrage States has proved the stock arguments against woman suffrage to be groundless, for women have not lost their womanliness nor their love of home or family, while they have shown their fitness to vote for the best inter- ests of humanity.

The Panama Canal. There are some matters that are nt arbitrable. A few of them were mem tioned by Senator Lodge in his speech on the arbitration treaties. One of these is our right to construct and domi- nate the Panama Canal. Colombia is endeavoring to put a cloud on our title to the canal, and there are intimations that Great Britain imagines that it bas some rights in the matter. Once the United States offered Colombia, wher the latter had a right power to sell it, $10,000,000 for the right to construct the canal.
