What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and editorial content**, not a political cartoon. The substantive piece is "Ten Reasons Why Women Should Vote"—an essay that won a prize in Judge magazine's suffrage contest. It presents straightforward pro-suffrage arguments: women are equal to men intellectually, subject to the same laws, deserve equal voice in government, and have proven capable of voting where allowed. The arguments address common objections by emphasizing logic, justice, and practical capability rather than emotion. The right column shows "Everywaiter," a short theatrical sketch satirizing restaurant staff and demanding customers. It's unrelated to suffrage. The left side contains vintage advertisements for whiskey, jewelry, and cigars—typical period product placement with no political significance. The page demonstrates Judge magazine's mixed format: serious advocacy journalism alongside humor and commerce.

Ten Reasons Why Women Should Vote. (This paper won a prize in Judge's suffrage contest.) 1, Men and women “‘are created free and equal,”’ and all human beings should have equal power and privileges, except when, by some mental or physical de- fect (immaturity, disease, or otherwise), such equal privilege is injurious to others. All laws should be placed on the broad principle of greatest good to greatest number. Practically all argu- ments in favor of men voting or for representation in government apply with equal force in favor of woman suffrage. 2. Women are compelled to compete for a living with the same industrial conditions as men and are entitled to equal voice in the making of laws af- fecting their means of a livelihood or existence. 3. Men and women are both subject to laws, both are punished in like man- ner for violations of criminal statutes, and, as a matter of elementary justice and equity, women should be given equal voice with men in making of statutes. 4. Physical differences do not logically deprive women of suffrage. While, by reason of such differences, a more or less logical division of various duties necessary for providing a home and livelihood may be established, they in no wise affect the fundamental questions of justice entitling both man and woman to equal voice in government. Men would not generally agree to any busi- ness partnership where one was to have absolute control, regardless of division of duties, similarity or dissimilarity of contributions to the partnership. De- priving women of suffrage is a similar question and equally unjust. 5. Intelligence of women is on a par with men; where given the same oppor- tunities, women have proven their un- derstanding of governmental principles and cannot be barred from suffrage on question of intelligence. 6. Woman's interest in good govern- ment and all that makes for a ‘‘square deal’’ and a fair show to all is as great as man’s interest, and they should have equal voice in the government which affects interests of all. 7. Ability and capability to handle suffrage (at least as intelligently as handled by men) have been proven in States having equal suffrage and in others having woman suffrage limited to school and other questions. 8. Woman suffrage is entirely feasible and practicable. Objections raised on this ground are based entirely on preju- dice which many hold against any change in any established custom, and “no suffrage for women’’ has been custom. 9. Woman’s aspirations and {deals and conduct average at least as high as man’s, and granting suffrage to women is in interest of advancement of good citizenship and civilization. 10. Because there are no more logical inst woman suffrage than ice should give equa! privilege to both. Freperick G. SwaNson, Gorcona, Canat Zone. 20 In answering advertisements piease mention JUDCE.
